A star in the never ending darkness

Back then there is not much i can remember, from as long as I've lived i have been hated by everyone i had ever held dear, there was something wrong with me. I have tried to be kind and support other's but every time i try to be nice, the worse everything seems to get.

There was a myth about their being a beast of some sort, a demon who would threaten all of equestria but i knew that it was not me and that i would never do such a thing, there is only one problem and that is that everyone else seems to agree with the fact that i am the monster and need to be stopped.

My idea's of being a beast had changed over the years but it seemed more and more likely that that monster was me, accepting my fate here in a prison cell and being hated by everyone taught me that there was a chance a long time ago.

Since i was young i was being cared for by the one and only princess Celestia, she cared for me alongside another another student that she could not stop talking about. She taught me to read and write and how important it is to love and care for others, it was working till I snapped. There had always been serious cases of head aches which i got when i tried to perform a too powerful spell or was alone for long periods of time but i never thought it would do what it did.

I had attacked the princess, i was not myself and eyes which were red as blood. There was a dark and evil aura surrounding me which reminded me of Nightmare Moon plus flames of black and red caused by an overflow of power.

Ever since the incident I had been locked in the canterlot dungeon and had not seen the sun of which my teacher rises for about a year of two so it came much to my surprise when the door opened and in walked one of the royal guards.

"Princess Celestia wants to see you, there is no further information so please follow me."

"Ok thank you ve-"

"There is no need to thank me for I have done nothing to help you, now hurry up and go."

I had got the same look their that I always do, hatred for every bit of me, my existence in general looked down upon. There is nothing I can do to get into society back so why was princess Celestia wasting her time with me?

As i entered the throne room i had noticed it was empty, I turned around to leave but the door had shut behind me.

"was this their idea of a trick?" I said to myself as i slowly went towards the throne.

As i walked towards the throne princess Celestia came from behind the throne, Her amazing mane shimmering in the rays of the sun that i had missed so much swayed as she walked towards me.

"Cinos, do you remember me?" she said in her sickeningly sweet voice that was used to torture me in my nightmares.

"Yeah i remember you, the one who decided to lock me away from all this time" I said thinking of placing my blame on her but finding it ripping against my heart.

"You do know why i had to do that, right Cinos?"

"Im a demon, i do not know my own power and because of one outburst i had to stay five years in jail."

Celestia then went over to me and wrapped her front legs around me and whispered in my ear "Im so sorry, please forgive me, i have regretted putting you in there for your outburst, i know it was not your fault but it was going against justice if I were to think any other way!"

I pushed Celestia away which made her very surprised as she must have expected me to behave in a positive way after not seeing her in so long and being shown friendship.

"No one loves me, all i know is hate and i will send you all to hell" I shouted looking up at her and used my power to turn on my weak dark aura, I had been quite tired and weak so i was not able to produce anything near a strong aura.

Celestia was very taken aback at what i had just did, she then retaliated by producing her own aura which was much more powerful than mine, it was like a flare of green and white light had just went off in front of him.

I fell to the ground to be picked up again by princess Celestia who then went and put me on her back.

"I will teach you personally how to control your power for good and not for evil, you will be sharing lesson's every Tuesday, for now i will take you to me student, Twilight Sparkle who will teach you about the power of friendship and magic which can help others"

I remembered that name, she was always talking about that specific pony and now she wanted me, the person who was hated by everyone was not only being shown kindness from the princess but she had degraded her student to the works of helping me? I could not see how this was possible but i was happy at the luckiness of me meeting such a person which caused me to show a slight smile which i could not hold back.

It was a long way to get to Twilight's house, long enough for me to fall asleep on the princess's back which felt like resting on clouds. I had my first good dream in two years.

I awoke on a bed in a tree-like house which looked a bit like a library, quite a big library at that.

I turned to my side and saw a pony of a dark purple in the bed next to me, she to opened her eye's and saw me.

I fell backwards out of bed and hit my head, i could see her coming over to see me, then she said "hello my name is Twilight sparkle, how are you?"

"Im fine thanks" I said, I was not sure why i was lying in the bed next to her but i had a idea why, she was told to keep an eye on me.

"What do you want from me" I added violently as i saw she was opening her mouth to speak.

"I have been asked by Princess Celestia to look after you and try to control your... abilities." Twilight said while putting out her hoof to help me up.

"Why you, what can you do which others cannot?" I said while hitting away the hoof and standing up by using the table next to me.

"I do not like to brag but i am quite good at magic, can you please show me this ability i have been hearing about?" Twilight took out a scroll which i could see had 'Things to do' written on the top.

"My pleasure." I said with a smile.

I closed my eyes and attempted to bring back the thoughts of the bad thing that have transpired in my life, it was not too hard to remember some of the small things like getting bullied and my parents death which were some of the only memory's that i could remember at the time.

Soon after i opened my eye's to show that my blue ones had made them self's into a lizard style eye which were like small slits which reminded me of the dragons i saw in my books, the color was also blood red just like the last time this happened. My mouth has turned stitched which caused the skin around it to become pulled and red, black flames surrounded my body like the infinite night up above.

I walked slowly forward with flames spitting out of my mane and burning the floor below me. My body has turned light black which made the flames look like an extension to this dark form of mine.

I saw that twilight looked worried and was trying to back away out of the room, this might be my only chance.

"I will burn you and the world around us" I said in a bold tone as i walked towards her, i could see all the dark and bad memory's that i could remember passing in front of my eyes which caused much pain and suffering not to me but to my heart which i was right now locked away in the bottom of my conscious.

Suddenly black chains came from the ground and entangled me, Twilight's horn was glowing like crazy and letting out sparks, I knew that if I wanted to get her I would have to rip myself apart and damage my heart even more than i had, I made the decision to save my sanity for now so I just fell limp on the floor and did not move till the power went away.

"That's quite some ability you have there" said twilight panting "you really need to calm down when you do that, try to get it under control."

"Who said i wanted to get it under control."

Twilight looked quite taken back by this comment and said "Do you not like to make friends or do you just really hate everyone you have just met?"

"I vairy's from who that person is and how they treat me."

"Im being kind and im not a bad person, i have tried to be quite good to you so far!"

"Yeah you are quite cute and i guess i could try to be a bit more kind, sorry" I said knowing that we would not get anywhere if i hated her so pretending to like her is the next better idea.

"Well that is very kind of you, we should go to sleep for now, you need to go to your training with Celestia tomorrow, you may have had a rest here but it is still about to turn night time"

I could see that she blushed but did not care, after what i had been through i would never make friends with anyone who is a friend of the princess.

Before i walked away she said "I know you where not able to perform to the best of your ability there, that is why i had to go and try a ancient spell taught to me by the princess if you went out of control, i was only able to turn it to it's first form of sealing so i cannot teach you for now, please try to keep in a good state of mind."

My heart worked before my mind and i was amazed to hear myself say "Thanks, you have a good night and i hope to see some of your friends, maybe play around a little later!" Which caused my head to nearly split in two but came back to normal in a few seconds.

I was not the only one surprised to hear that as twilight span around to see if i was still the same person, she walked away slowly but she seemed a bit kinder than the others. Someone who respected me and i liked that very much.

I went up to bed and thought to myself what that outburst i had down there was and what caused me to have such a thing, then an image crossed my mind. Was there really a light in my dark heart, was there really a star out there for me in this never ending darkness?

I awoke from the dream which i so much longed to keep onto back into reality, I could see the pile of sleeping drugs next to my bed and the dust and rusted pipes of the world outside through my window across the room. I got out of bed stumping a little to get some food from the fridge which only contained a few bits of expired milk and rotten meat so supply me for the next few days.

I looked over at the pile of pills laying next to my bed and wondered how my life had gone so wrong when it started out so well. After breakfast or lunch, I was not sure of the time, I went back to the bed and cried over the memory's of my life so far.

There was this dream which I was getting recently which seemed to put myself in a better life where I was more powerful and seemed to be getting friends ever so slowly, I was able to remember the memory's now but when I fall asleep they seem to drift away until I come out of my slumber.

After falling off the bed into a puddle of water that was dripping from the pipes over the broken roof of my home I moved a shaking hoof over to the pills next to my bed and after feeling the wind blow through the dirty mane I curled up into a ball and slowly put the pill in my mouth feeling it travel down into my stomach and start to take me away.

I was not yet ready for the outside world.

Well there we go guys, that was the first chapter of my new series which was not too long so i can get feedback on what you guys think should happen and what you think about it so far,i hope you like this one and please tell me where there are some mistakes so i can fix them, thank you again and i hope you enjoyed ^_^

Please enjoy episode 2 ^_^

Please, leave a comment on what i can do better as i always like advice but please, try to stay kind as this is my first story, this story moves quite fast so try to keep up! :)

A lesson in friendship

I woke abruptly holding my head in my hooves, every time I see if I can stand up I just fall back down again thinking someone is going to make me go back to sleep which seemed strangely easy.

It was my first lesson with princess Celestia and I had never felt so happy in my life, i was just about to be taught by the princess to control my power which of cause will backfire on her.

I opened the door to see Twilight outside "Did you have a nice sleep Cinos, you seemed to be in bed even shorter than me!"

"Well about two years in prison can do some things to a person like me." I said clicking my neck as I walked over to the kitchen part of the house. I got a strange, confused look from Twilight before she turned around and walked away. I could not help but wonder why she cared for me so much, no one does and i don't think they ever will knowing what I am.

I packed my stuff and left my house to Canterlot which was where i was supposed to meet the princess for the first lesson, i could only guess what I would have to go through to control the massive power inside of me, i can control it a slight bit but when i go more than stage two of my form the insanity kicks in. It was a long way to the princess's house and not a lot happened at all, I was mainly suck on the train next to two gossiping girls and a man snoring with a untouched book next to him.

I had finally reached Canterlot and was bored out of my mind. I was covered in the smell of dead fish and old cupcakes the trains seems to give you, I knew that I should have gone upper class.

I got through the train doors and out into the fresh air when I suddenly got a spilling headache which nearly caused me to trip, It was whispering words like 'You need to wake up' and 'Dream times over now, come on!' but after realizing they were just playing with me I continued my walk up the stairs to the Canterlot castle. I could not be dreaming, this is real life and I knew that I had gone to sleep earlier today so those voices really did not make any sense.

I finally reached the grand doors of Canterlot castle and slowly heaved them open to reveal Celestia pacing back and forth next to the throne.

"You took your time Cinos, I thought you where not coming." Celestia said with a smile.

"Well i would not miss this for the world" I said with a sly grin.

"Well lets get started, the first task i want you to do for me is to try to make a few friends with Twilight, go about a little and ask people their names. I want you to get five by next lesson so i guess it homework really."

All life drained out my cheeks, i thought it was going to me sparing or maybe trying to get off some type of spell which allowed me to control my power not make friends!

"Really, i think that is five too many. I had never really had a friend after what you did" I said showing a glint of red in my eyes as well as a slight show of tears when i looked up at her.

"Well, this is your chance to change that opinion then, now on to the lesson at hand i want us to-"

I thought the lesson was about friendship but I still have a chance to fight, to show her what i was truly made of and maybe pay her back for what she has done to me.

"-see how much power you really have inside of you."

I looked up at her, confused on what she was saying, wondering what she means by 'power inside of you'.

"What do you mean by that princess, do you mean my special talent?

"Yes but this time im going to let you go all out, all this time i had placed a spell on you to stop you going insane with power and i am about to release it and see what you really can do"

I can take this as another way for saying "Hey let's spar and while your at it ill allow you to go full force!"

I got ready to attack by ducking my head down and starting to open my mind to the darkness around it, thinking only of hatred and agony for my fellow pony's, the one's who had betrayed me all this time.

What pissed me off the most was that the princess stood there looking at me as though i was filth, nothing but the trash you would chuck in the bin after wrapping a piece of loose gum in.

"YOU WILL NOT LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT PRINCESS, YOU HEAR ME" I shouted focusing all my anger much more than usual but then i noticed when she had released her spell my memory's came back.

I saw myself in a school all alone, my family long dead and everyone still looking down at me.

My eye's filled with tears every day with the words hitting me like stones every day of my life, Ripping my soul to pieces one by one.

What have I become. Everyone i know goes away. You let me down, i will make you hurt.

I screamed feeling the darkness flowing through me, watching the world rip apart beneath me and the world burn around me.

There i stood laughing Until i started falling, watching the ground break below me and the sky dissolve above me as i was plunged into darkness like no other, the darkness of which you can never escape.

"Hello" came a voice like no other i have even heard before, dark and slow drifting into the moon far above, the only light source is this entire area.

"Who are you and why am i here?"

"All questions will be answered in due time but for now i will answer them as maybe then you will trust me, I am me and you and the universe and everything in between for i am darkness and i am here to help you for fill your goal of burning the world to the ground, just grab my hand and we can do this together!"

I see a hand reach out from the darkness, a shimmering hand filled with pure dark power reached out of the darkness to me and opened up, waiting for a shake of acceptance.

I reach out my hand to shake his when i am drawn out of this darkness and back into the light.

"NO!" the voice shouted after me as i returned to reality.

Princess Celestia was standing beside the object i was now trapped in. The object wrapped around me did not only have the black chains with new green glowing tips on them and in addition there where green and white ropes tied around my legs and arms.

"You performed quite a feat there, look around the prison i am holding you in."

I turned my head up and down and saw i had burn the around below and around me to ashes surprising two guards in the bottom floor.

"Now tell me, what did you see when i released the magical spell from your body?"

With my memory's back i could only think of more reasons why i should not tell the princess let alone anyone else after what they did to me when i was a child up to now?

I spat in her face and said "You bastard, why would you tell you anything after what you did to me?"

"Because i was the one to drag you out of that hell hole in the first place, try to be a bit more respectful to me in future." I could see the anger in her eye's as she said this.

"So... Sorry i guess your right, you where the one who saved me from this place so i guess you are the one who i should be thanking, the others out there do not have an excuse for what they have done to me though..."

"I promise you Cinos that i will help you get friends and see that you find the true power of friendship, that's our lesson over so come back tomorrow and remember your homework!"

"Homework my ass..." I said as i was walking out of the castle into the light of the day.

After another boring trip back to Twilight's house I saw that she was much more out of it than usual, i knew something was up so i went to ask her about it.

"Hey Twilight are you ok, you seem more out of it than usual?"

"I just got the report of your first lesson back from princess Celestia and-"

Twilight turned to smile at me and said

"-I was just wondering which one you would like to see first and would fit with your personality an i have decided..."

"Who is it, who have you decided for me to meet?"

"Another girl, her name is Rainbow Dash."

Well, she sounds cool i mean she has been names after speed and a rainbow, how can she not?

The next day i awoke to hear my own voice shouting, i could not quite make out the words but it was not Twilght who came to my aid but a baby dragon of a sort.

"Are you ok, your Twilight's friend right, well i heard you shouting so i came to try and wake you up."

"Thanks, what's your name may i ask?"

"My name is Spike, nice to meet you!"

"Nice to meet you too but i need to know where Rain Desk is, do you know her?"

"Well yeah, i know someone called Rainbow Dash and she is outside sugercube corner."

I knew i made the wrong choice by chucking him aside and just hurrying on with the question but i was running out of time and i knew that i needed to at least make one friend if i was going to make princess Celestia even a slight bit happy.

"Well ill be seeing you Spike, have fun mate!" With that i ran straight out the door and ran towards the place where sugercube corner was located using the signs around town.

As i found sugercube corner all i could see was a building saying 'come in Cinos.'

I walked inside the dark house until there was a loud BANG and then about twenty two pony's came from hiding and shouted "SURPRISE!"

I was stunned at this and fell backwards into a pink pony who was hopping over to me.

"Well did you like it because i liked it, i bet you liked it didn't you?" said this pink pony jumping up and down smiling to herself.

"Well i was surprised if that is what you wanted, yeah i guess i did like it!"

"That's great well my name is pinkie pie, what's your's?

"My name is Cinos, Cinos demonheart."

"Well that's an interesting name, do you want to come over and say hello to Rainbow Dash and the others?"

"Sure"

I walked over with pinkie pier wondering how i was doing so well with making friends this time round till i realized, the more they believed that i was their friend the easier they where to kill.

With that my smile was slightly larger but someone seemed to catch onto it, that person was Rainbow Dash.

"Hi" said a white pony rather like me but with more style and purple hair.

"H.. hello" Said a rather shy looking yellow pony.

"Hi my name is Rainbow Dash, the fastest pony in equestria" said the blue pony with wings who had come up to him and stared him straight in the eye's.

Had she caught on? did he know what i was thinking by my smile?

"Do i see a slight red tinge in your eye?" said Rainbow Dash looking deeper and coming closer to his face.

I sighed and said "Yes, you may see that but don't worry it's natural."

"Oh ok just wondering because it looks really cool!"

"Well, thanks that's really kind of you"

"No problem!"

The conversation went on about how I got here and about what i was currently doing in which i nearly always had to half lie about to avoid suspicion, it was getting clear that Rainbow Dash suspected me but for some reason i did not want to kill her, i wanted her to live but just when i starting thinking like that i heard a familiar voice say "She helped get you the way you are now, do you really want to be a so called friend with a person like that?" and i knew that i must not get carried away in my emotions.

I went home after the party which was apparently supposed to be a party welcoming to to ponyville but i was just thinking it was for the other pony's because there is no reason to go through all this hassle for one new pony is there?

I had reached Twilight's house which was not too far away from sugercube corner and i needed to pack for my lesson with Celestia but before i left Twilight caught up with me and said "Hey, how did it go?"

"Well it went good i guess i really enjoyed it, thanks for setting it up for me" I turned to her and smiled, i then got a smile back which made me quite happy.

I went to pack and get ready for Celestia's lesson, there was something about rainbow dash that i really did not understand but there was something that made me want to smile when i saw her and to hug her whenever she was near.

I pinched myself to see if i still felt pain, felt emotions long forgotten in the prison below Camelot.

There is no space in my heart for anything else with the darkness can feed on but it seems that i am still able to love, that is a good start.

A good person to deal with first before it becomes too late.

The start of the end

I was just finished packing when i had an idea, if i was to remember the spells taught to me by princess Celestia i would be able to maximize their power in insanity form and maybe be able to take out the elements of harmony one by one!

At this thought i dropped my bag and ran to the safest place i could remember, the forest in which i used to play, i recall it being called the everfree forest but i cannot remember, it seems the more places i think i remember and visit the more that i start to remember.

I left the house by going through the window and climbing down the tree because if Twilight saw me then I would be questioned of why i am trying to leave without my bag in the wrong direction, i was not spotted though so that was a bit of luck.

I followed the signs to the path leading to the everfree forest when i noticed something, there was a hut next to the forest with loads of animals and the same yellow pony which i met at the party.

"Oh hello Cinos, what brings you here?" She said turning to me after her pet rabbit pointed me out.

"Well i came here to see if i could find something near the forest, it's fine though i can go on my own"

"Oh, ok see you later Cinos"

With that i ran into the forest, it was darker than it looked from the outside but i was able to remember a bit of my magic from the lessons of princess Celestia and carved the words into a tree saying 希望の光 (light of hope) which brought torches around me in a ring causing the area to light up and for both of my hands to be free.

I went the place i thought i remembered and found a playground.

The playground was dusty, dark and broken beyond repair. It was where i used to play as a kid and where i used to watch others play with their parents, such a nice place to go and relax until i remembered another memory.

A memory deep down which i wish i had not remembered, tried to hide away.

How my parents died.

It was a dark day and I was at ponyville in the 'hopeful hay hotel' which was located near sugercube corner, i was away with my friend Kizu Yagamoto, we were playing in this very playground at the time of the death.

I came home to find the door slightly open and find my parents holding hands on the floor, not moving and with blood splattered on the walls.

At the time of the incident i was eight years of age so think how i felt to see my parents dead on the floor with blood around them, it was a moment i will never forget.

I was sent to a boarding school in which i was bullied every day, i had no friends no family and nowhere to go.

These thoughts coming back to me reminded me of a few more spells i had learnt from Princess Celestia which i had to try out but this spell was not a normal spell, it was a spell which needed to be close to use.

I remembered who was outside this forest that very moment.

I sneaked out the forest via the way i came and came across the same hut in which the yellow pony lived in, it was time to test out this spell.

"Thank goodness!" came the familiar voice of Twilight who was questioning the yellow pony on where i said i was going.

"Celestia and me were really worried, we thought you had ran away!" Said Twilight who looked strangely sad and looked like she had even been crying.

"Yeah i am fine, i just went to look at some places i remembered in the forest" I said turning to the look at Twilight.

I returned home with Twilight feeling damn right pissed that she had come when i was about to perform my new spell, no matter i'll find a way, their happiness is my pain and my pain belongs to them.

I woke the next morning with Twilight standing over me holding a scroll.

"Twilight what is th-"

"The princess has told me that is you are missing lessons with her then she will have to send you back to the dungeons for a week so you better go this time!"

"Fine, let me just get my stuff"

"First i need you to get better cloth's because your old one's are really smelly and ripped everywhere!"

"FINE!"

I ran out the door and slammed it behind me running downstairs when i heard a voice from upstairs.

"Arcane prison!"

Instantly i was trapped inside a prison made of air, it was very soft but i was not able to escape from it.

"You need to go to Rarity's and get a new dress, look at the signs and you will see it."

"Fine, OK ill go to this stupid suit shop"

"Why are you always so angry why don't you chill out and pl-"

I slammed the door in her face and walked to Rarity's, i had enough of Celestia telling me about friendship and i didn't need Twilight to start too.

I found Rarity's house and went to knock on the door when i noticed, Rarity was one of the elements of harmony, if i were to put her down then i would be able to have stopped the joining of the elements and my destruction.

"Hello, who is this?" said the posh voice which i remember from the party.

The door opened to reveal a white pony much like myself with purple hair, i could see she was in the middle of stitching and was quite annoyed at my arrival.

"Excuse me Cinos but what do you want?"

"I need some clothes, mine are really messed up"

Her eye's lit up as she said "Oh good, come right in and have a seat!"

I felt strangely sad about what i was about to do but to prevent my destruction, i would have to kill her. I would have to kill her to save my life.

"Now sweetie, what idea are you thinking of for your clothes?"

"i would not mind something black and red a cloak maybe, i think that would be good"

Rarity looked at me pityingly and said "Whatever you want, you really need to learn about fashion my dear"

I waited a hour, i watched Rarity fix up the cloak and how expertly she did it knowing that soon she would be dead.

It was nearly time.

I got up from the chair i was sitting in and walked over to Rarity who had just finished with her work, she was getting a bag to put it in.

I went over to her with a single red tear falling down my cheek as i put my hand on her head.

"Cinos dear what are you doi-"

"心の爆発" (Explosion of the heart) I whispered to myself as she fell to the floor.

the white of her eyes showed for only a second before they rolled up inside of her head.

I had just killed one of the elements of harmony.

I picked up the cloak laying next to the bag in Rarity's hand.

I picked up the cloak from Rarity's dead corpse and hid the body in the closet before i making my way back to Twilight's house, i knew i had to make up an excuse on why Rarity was not at her house anymore, i think i had the perfect one.

"Oh hello Cinos, might i say you look very good in your new... Cloak" said Twilight walking down the stairs towards me.

"Yeah, i asked Rarity to make it specially, it looks really cool and i am sure that the others will like it." I said with a smile.

I went to my bedroom and shouted behind me "oh yeah Rarity told me to tell you that she has gone to Canterlot and that she will be back in a few days" I then closed the door and smiled to myself knowing that i only had 4 elements to go until i was assured full destruction.

I suddenly heard screaming from downstairs, it was Twilight.

"Cinos, how could you.."

"It was him, i saw him through the window!" said the voice i recognized to be Rainbow Dash.

"Shit" I said to myself as i cast one of the last ancient spells i remembered from Celestia.

"マステレポート!" (mass teleport) I shout as i heard Twilight shout "NO!" behind me but it was too late, i had already teleported deep into the everfree forest.

I knew that i could not go back so the only way i could finish off the rest of the elements of harmony was with stealth and the first one i was going for was that yellow pony outside of the forest, it was not too far away so i could not complain.

I went towards the entrance and saw the hut, it was full of those stupid animals which will make it hard for me to get to that yellow pony.

When trying to sneak into the hut i could not help but feel as if this yellow pony had a slight fetish for these animals, it just seems so weird for her to love them so much.

She will be dead soon anyway so they was no point pondering on the idea.

I saw that the door was slightly open, i decided to go through there because she may be out and i could set up a trap inside, an easy kill.

I went inside to see the yellow pony on the bed on the side crying her eye's out, i turned to walk out when i stepped on a book left out which i slipped on and nearly fell.

"YOU" I heard her say, I dashed out but her animals pounced on me forcing me to turn and look straight into her face.

"Why, why did you kill Rarity!" she shouted at me, tears falling down her face.

"It is because i needed to, you all need to die" I said calmly knowing that if she was to know my plan then she would go and tell the others.

"I will make you pay, for Rarity!" she said lunging at me with her animal friends who had soon cut up my legs and torso, i knew that i had to use the form or i would not last much longer.

I closed my eye's to change form when the same dream came to me, there again i was in darkness and the voice that i can remember from my last dream said "This is your chance, take my hand and be encased in darkness"

I reached out and took the hand as i was staring deep into the purple eye's of the darkness, as i returned to reality i heard a quiet voice whisper "Thank you, you will not regret it"

I was back in reality but my form had changed, my eye's were purple and instead i had lizard shaped eye's which had a cross in them. My mouth was still stitched together but i could talk through it and the flames around me had turned purple and black instead of red. The biggest change was the burn radius, it looked like there was a flamethrower bowing out of my mane and tail and the things my hoof touched did not just burn but turned to ashes.

I grabbed the yellow pony and flung her against the wall, it then pointed at her an shouted in a voice not like my own "天からのストライク!" (Strike from the sky) and watched the world around me explode leaving a bloody yellow corpse with dead animals littered everywhere, i felt terrible and wanted to stop but the darkness had consumed my emotion and sent me to the edge on insanity, i was stuck in this form and i had way too much power.

It felt great.

I was laughing in a half crazy way when suddenly Rainbow Dash, Twilight, Celestia and a orange pony were seen running towards me from the distance, i knew i had to get out of there as soon as possible.

I knew a much more powerful teleport spell but had not dared try it before today because of the amount of magic it required but i can now.

"時間内にリッピングする" (Rip in time) I shouted as i felt my body being dragged through space and time.

Before i left i felt a really sharp burn hit me in the front left leg, it was supposed to be for my heart cast by my once best friend princess Celestia.

All feelings where wiped for everyone i knew and all i wanted was to burn and destroy anyone who dared stand in my way.

I knew that i would not survive much longer with all those powerful pony's on my case and that i needed someone to help.

Someone who hated everyone along with Celestia as much as i did.

Then it hit me.

Discord.

Ok thanks guys, that is the end of chapter 3 and don't worry it get's better from here on out, i hope you guys enjoyed even if it was a bit dark :3

(4) The end of Cinos

Please enjoy episode 4 :D

Please, leave a comment on what i can do better as i always like advice but please, try to stay kind as this is my first story, this story moves quite fast so try to keep up! :)

The end of Cinos

After I came to the statue i noticed that the scratch was not a type of burn or scratch but was more like a clamp on my leg, I could also tell what must be on the other side of the clamp. They where following me right this instant.

I landed next to the statue and as i guessed they were right behind me, an orange pony, Celestia, Twilight and Rainbow Dash.

"You cannot stop me, i will bring back Discord and destroy you all because of what you did to me!"

"You do not understand, what we did to you is nothing compared to what you are doing to us!" shouted Celestia in a weirdly loud voice, i think i can remember it being called the 'Royal voice' which has not been used for ages.

"No you ruined my life and now i will ruin yours!"

"I am so sorry Cinos but you will have to die, there is no other way"

"Ha, good luck!"

With that Rainbow Dash launched herself onto me and started hitting me, i hit her off and then was about to stomp on her with all my fury but then a purple case surrounded her.

"You will not kill anymore!"

"You cannot stop me Celestia!"

I started smashing at the statue of Discord but nothing happened, i guessed it must be magic needed but the question was, did i have enough?

I may need to go insane to get enough power, knowing the risks i ducked down and start to build up my power.

I feel my body starting to rip up and the fire around me growing.

I suddenly felt my face go on fire and a mask of some sort starting to form around it, the mask felt like someone had poured lava on my face, it felt very unpleasant.

The mask was white with two red stripes and the eye holes where like slits with swirling horns coming off the ends.

There was a voice in my mind talking, it was not my voice but the voice that was from the darkness that helped me get my power, it was laughing.

"You want to wake Discord?"

"Yes i do want to wake him and show all of them what i can do"

"Fine, i will give you the power if you do one thing for me"

"What?"

"Kill princess Celestia"

"Deal"

As i said those words i felt the air around me getting hotter and the ground cracked below my power.

I was strong enough to finish any pony.

I launched myself into the crowd of the ponys watching them scatter but i only followed one of them.

Celestia was my target.

I felt something grab my flank and try to chuck me into the air but i quickly regained my position by using the huge wings which came with this immense power.

It was Rainbow Dash and she was turning for another attack.

I pointed at rainbow dash and shouted "時間がリッピング!" (Ripping time!)

I suddenly felt the spell come out of me stronger that usual but she was still able to avoid it, there was a slight case of a huge space and time rip in the air will need to be fixed after all the people are burned to the ground.

Suddenly i heard a conversation from Celestia.

I heard Celestia shout to Rainbow Dash "Rainbow, do a sonic rainboom right next to me and hurry!"

"You must be kidding Princess, that will be useless

"RAINBOW DASH JUST DO IT!"

At the sudden raise of voice rainbow dash follow the princess's instructions and started the sonic rainboom

"Ha!" I shouted "You really think that will do anything to me?"

"Yes, i do" said Celestia.

Rainbow Dash made an amazing rainbow next to princess Celestia at an amazing speed.

Celestia suddenly put her hoof into the rainbow which caused it to all gather in her hand, pointed it at me and then shouted "レインボーレーザー!" (Rainbow lazer!)

Suddenly I saw a beam of rainbow colored light shooting towards me, i put my hands up and made the strongest shield i could possibly make until the lazer hit it.

There was a sudden crack where the lazer hit and then it burst through.

I should have put more power into that area of my shield.

I felt the rainbow colored beam shoot into my chest and a trickle of blood start to fall down.

I fell to the floor and laughed feeling the pain going through me, the same pain that i have felt all these years.

The pony's around me looked down with sad expressions on their faces, almost as though they where feeling sorry for me, Celestia even shed tears as i lay there laughing and bleeding.

I suddenly felt my mask burn with pain and that the hole in my heart which was caused by the beam had been filled with a dark substance.

I stood up shaking and coughing and to much of the pony's surprise started to smile.

A voice unlike my own said "You are all evil and will burn before me even if i die, i am using a substitute heart so i will anyway, goodbye every pony"

I lifted my arm and pointed it at the statue, building up all my power i shot it with a dark red beam causing it to crack and a familiar laugh could be heard echoing through the land.

"He will be awake in five hours, you will all be dead by then"

All the pony's looked terrified as suddenly the fire on my head started to spread around my body, the power was overwhelming and I knew that it was not my own.

I was suddenly dragged from reality and into the area of darkness i had been too when accepting the deal, it was allot different with red, pulsing blobs everywhere and cracks all over the place.

Before me there was a black pony with a dark aura coming off him, his eye's where white and he also had a stitched red smile.

"You have come far Cinos but now it is time to tell you the truth"

"What... what do you mean?"

"You are not who you think you are, the elders entrusted you with that power to turn it good and use it to protect Equestria and you where never hated only bullied and you had a loving family but then Celestia said she could care for you, you where taken over by the darkness inside your power and had your memory's removed and replaced by the ways he saw it"

At this comment my eye's diluted and my real memory's came back.

"Back to reality with you" said the black pony with a final smile "We would not want you to miss your death would we?"

After being thrust back into reality I fell to the ground and looked up at the pony's "I am so very very sorry..."

The other pony's looked at me and said "What do you mean, what is with this sudden change?"

Rainbow Dash suddenly moved back and said "Guy's it's a trap!"

The others followed her as i burst into red tears and smiled up at them saying "Please, lead a happy like without me and stop Discord, there is always a way with the power of friendship"

All these memory's where never mine, i was always being tricked and abused this whole time.

There was never one moment in that state that i did not regret what i have done.

I felt my eye's start to close as my heart started to fail.

I looked at them one last time and said "You must be so mad at me, my memory's where forged by the darkness inside of me making you all look like monsters, i have failed you and for that i must pay the ultimate price. I am so very sorry and i know you cannot forgive me but i can tell you now that i never meant this to happen and i will let you guys borrow my power's, here take my mask"

I passed them the mask and smiled at them as they smiled back, everyone but Celestia smiled because she was busy crying.

She picked up my limp body and brought it close into an embrace as blood started to trickle out of my mouth.

She looked at me and said, "You are such a terrifying work of art, you really are great in your own way"

Celestia put me down as i felt my last few breath's where escaping my body.

"Thank you, thank you all for helping me through this, go and look at your friends Rarity and the yellow one, goodbye"

My eye's closed as the darkness screamed inside of me.

The world around me tore apart as i died with happy thoughts in my heart.

I knew that when people looked back on me they would see what i did.

With my last bit of power i had made roots connecting to the yellow and the white pony's body flooding power into their hearts causing a kickstart to bring them back to life.

I could see my whole happy life flash before my eye's, my loving parents, Celestia teaching me, Friends loving me and last of all me in a grave just outside the everfree forest saying 'Here lies Cinos, the one with the mask that helped protect Equestria for many years to come'

I had a happy life, it was worth living.

That is how Cinos came to be known as one of the best people Equestria has ever known.

The End?

(5) The resurrection

Yeah i thought i would end it on episode 4 but then on my youtube channel where i do ask questions which is 'Adventureflame' I asked people if i should continue and they said "yeah continue" so i will make other characters too and make their own story's too, please enjoy!

The Resurrection

It was like waking up from a long dream, one minute your there the next your up and out.

I awoke inside a lab on the most uncomfortable bed you have ever felt, there was lots of equipment lying around like syringes, surgical headlights, needles and even knives but what worried me the most was that i was not the only one on one of these beds.

There was a three pony's next to me, one of them who i knew very well and who was one of my friends when i was younger.

One of the other pony's was from the royal crystal mine which went back into use after the wedding, i did not know where the other one came from but he was green and had a cutiemark of a piano.

I turned my head and tried to shout but my jaw was broken and every time i tried to speak all I could hear was a gurgling sound which made me stop nearly instantly.

The girl who i remembered was yellow and pink, she had a bow which was slightly torn but was nothing that a little sewing could not solve.

She turned to face me and i could see that her mouth was bleeding but not yet broken, she was smiling at me and i would back if my jaw was not so broken.

There was some footsteps getting closer to the door and i had to nearly break my neck to try and turn my head in the restraints to see who these footsteps belonged to.

The door opened and i could see a black figure with green hair, the hair covers her eyes but i can see that one has a purple scratch on it.

"You four have failed me, i am disappointed in you the most Cinos" She said leaning close to me "You where able to free Discord but you still failed to destroy princess Celestia and start our raid"

I turned to look at the others to see if they were as confused as me and i could tell that they were but then suddenly someone spoke.

"Who are you and why were our memory's so muddled up" Said the pony who looked like he had come from the royal mines as he turned to face the black figure and spat blood in his face when shouting "Are you the cause of our insane forms!"

The black figure went over to the pony from the crystal mines and raised her bat like wings saying "Yes i am the reason for both those things and even with them you failed me"

After she saw the look on all of our confused faces she turned around and started to explain.

"You all come from here in Terrayona and was sent to Ponyville to destroy princess Celestia but you all failed accept for Cinos who got more than half way there" He then turned and we saw the big smile on his face when he said "Lets have another go then shall we?"

I felt needles stab into my body as I screamed and felt my blood getting hotter but then suddenly from behind me a blue box appeared and out came a brown pony, with the cutiemark of a hourglass, and grabbed me and my friend next to me while his friend who i remembered as Derpy came out behind him and grabbed the other two using a screwdriver like object to burn the ropes which tied us down.

"What... who?" was the only words that came out of the stunned black pony as we were dragged up into the blue box.

The black pony blasted towards us but was too slow and we shut the door on his face.

"I will find you and bring you back, you cannot escape!" shouted the black pony as a sudden long beeping sound started and we where flung about for about for a few seconds before we stopped with a sudden thump.

The brown pony turned around and said "So, are you guys all ok?"

I nodded and the green pony said "Yeah thanks to you we're ok"

I felt my blood start to go through a bubbly sensation and then before i could think what would cause this i fainted right there on the spot.

I awoke in Twilight's tree house and looked around for the other pony's who were with me when i fainted.

I looked out of the window and was amazed to see everything floating and the clouds made of cotton candy, it was even raining chocolate!

I could see the pony's walking around their daily lives like this was nothing.

I then went to the door knowing that if anyone was clever enough to stay inside it would be Twilight.

I opened the door to see not only Twilight standing before me but my old friend Prim.

Prim was about eighteen at this time and her bow was sewn back up, she had a lot of bandages around her chest and neck area.

I on the other hand had no wounds worth dealing with accept for my jaw which was bandaged up to the rest of my head so that i could at least speak in some way.

I went to over to Twilight first and looked up into her expressionless face, i was not sure if she was angry at me or she was appalled at my broken jaw.

"I am sorry for what i did here and i will do anything to put it right" I said not able to look into her face while talking.

Twilight then threw her arms around me and said "It's ok, everyone makes mistakes!" which made me flush a bright shade of red which i tried to conceal by looking at Prim to see if she was feeling better.

I walked over to Prim and was about to start speaking to her when Twilight interrupted.

"The brown pony said something about something going wrong in the timeline, you guys know anything about it?"

"Sorry but i really don't know anything" i said and Prim just moved her head left and right to symbolize no.

"So, do you know why we are here?" I said looking through the door at the crazy landscape around me which was obviously caused by the infamous Discord.

"Well there has been a slight problem lately, Discord has managed to create a different type of energy to keep him going and make sure we cannot beat him, the anti-elements" We all turned around to look at her as she continued speaking "There were four pony's who where entrusted by Discord to carry part of his power, we get rid of the elements and we get rid of him!"

We all stood there in silence for a bit as me and Prim pondered this thought until Prim shouted "Wait, is one of the elements green and is it inside a bat shaped necklace?"

"Yeah one of them is, how did you know?"

"Oh god" me and Prim said nearly in harmony as we remembered the gem in the necklace worn by the evil dark pony that we had only barely escaped from.

"Oh yeah did you see the other two pony's who were with us when we escaped?" I said as i looked around seeing no one else in the room with us.

"Yeah one of them went to tell princess Celestia of the worry that has come to hand lately and the other one said something about Lyra Heartstrings but strangely i find it hard to remember, i will go looking for them later but for now i think that you both should have a little more rest before we go"

"Go where?" I said looking up at Twilight who was walking towards us.

"Why to get rid of the anti-elements silly, we have to find the other's first and i know where the floating island with the everfree forest is so we should start by finding Fluttershy first, look through this telescope and you should see where the island we need to go to is" She said as she pointed at the telescope which was on the other side of the room.

I went over and looked at the forest when something caught my eye, my grave was there and it was dug up and destroyed with a pile of earth sitting next to it.

There was something else next to the grave which also caught my eye, it was the mask i had used to turn insane which was lying next to the pile of earth.

"We better get going then, no time to waste!" I said running to the door and flinging it open.

"But you need your rest and so does Primson Rose, you have only just got here!"

"It's fine i will be able to go whenever we need to go" Said Prim getting up and stretching her legs.

"Are you sure your alright to go on the journey so early Prim, im sure you need more re-"

"Ill be fine, don't tell me what to do" said Prim as a red aura seemed to pulse out of her, she walked over to the door without turning to look back at Twilight.

"Ok then, if you guys are sure, the first anti-element is located in Canterlot were there lives a new queen called Enya who has brainwashed the changelings to work for her will"

"Ok so what does her element look like?" said Prim who was now next to me at the door.

"It is a black heart inside of a skull shaped casing, it symbolises hatred"

"Oh well that's just grand!" I said walking outside and looking about "We better get going then!"

"Yeah let's go!" said both Twilight and Prim as we all walked out the door.

"Oh hello again, i didn't think we would be be together again so soon!" said a voice in my head as my blood started to bubble and i could feel the fluid which was injected earlier start to take effect, my head started to hurt and i felt faint.

"To adventure!" was the last words i said before fainting on Twilight's doorstep.

"Hello again, lets see if we can work together this time" I muttered to myself as Twilight and Prim ran over.

What a great way to start.

Well i hope you guy's enjoy the new character's and the new story line, this was a short part because I am quite busy and just really wanted to show you some of the new characters and the new plot. Still, hope you guy's enjoyed and expect to see the next episode out soon!

-Empire1161 and Epsion signing in... i mean out!

(6) The anti-element of hatred

Yep here comes a new chapter right back at ya, please enjoy!

The anti-element of hatred

I woke up yet again on the bed with Prim and Twilight standing next to me, i felt quite happy that they stayed and tried to get me back to proper health instead of just waiting a few hours for it to go away naturally.

"Hey Cinos are you awake?" Said Twilight who was the first one to speak, i could feel her breath on my neck and it felt quite uncomfortable. I sat up in bed and looked about to see if they had gone to get anyone but they seem to have waited for me to awake before setting out.

"Yeah i am fine thanks" i said as i slowly got up out of bed to get a drink of water, they did not seem to mind because they needed to go get their stuff knowing i would want to leave as soon as possible.

I went upstairs and got my stuff from the room, it was mainly clothes and food which i put in a sack which went around my waist. I put on some cute little socks which i thought they would like and went downstairs to meet them by the door. They were both there, Twilight with a purple colored bag which contained the same sort of stuff as me but Prim had a strange object in her bag which was mixed in with her clothes.

"Cinos what is with those socks?" said Twilight who had burst out into laughter at the look of me, the one who had once terrorized Equestria wearing little black socks. Prim who seemed to find the socks equally as funny and

I ignored the question as the socks were nice and warm and continued walking towards Prim who was by the entrance. The object in her bag was a white mask with a yellow tinge and orange stripes.

She saw me looking at it and a small smile went over her face as she nudged me and flicked me with her tail we left through the door, i now know that she too has an insane form and the activation mask on her.

We left Twilight's house into the broken world around us which i was observing until Twilight started discussing our plan.

"We are going to need to split up to get everyone here in time to set off before night and risk getting stuck going to Canterlot in the dark, see you later!"

"Wait Twilight do you not think wer shoud;... fine let's go then"

I walked to my selected location which was fluttershy's house mainly because i wanted to get my mask and i wanted to say sorry for what i did when i... well... killed her that one time.

Ponyville no longer looked like the peaceful rural town as I remembered. It looked urbanized, with modern looking 50's style houses stretching out for as far as I could see. Sweet Apple Acres was still there but it was on an island making it further away then it used to be. The house fluttershy was in was the only house that had kept the original design so i wondered if she was even still there or had denied the new design for her house.

I went to get the mask because if i was to ever come into any combat it would come in useful but then I noticed there was a huge cut on it which might have been caused by the spades hitting it but even with the scratch it was as radiant in design as it ever was. I picked it up and put in into my left pocket as i walked over to the house until i suddenly heard a voice say 'Finally you got it back, about time you were able to stand up to an ant again' to which i just rolled my eyes and kept on walking down the stony path.

I heard screaming coming from outside the door as my face turned red and i was sure if it was right to go inside and i turned to leave as i heard the screams were for help and then instantly kicked down the door to see two changelings which were at the time trying to stuff her into what looked like a rough leather bag, i knew that if i did not cut in soon she would be in a lot of trouble.

I knew that this would be the first time to test the new mask and see if it would still work so i put it up to my head and then suddenly was plunged into the darkness.

'I did not expect to see you so soon' Said the dark voice coming from the shimmering darkness but this time it was different, the darkness was stuck inside a cage with a huge seal on it, i did not know who did this or why it had happened but was glad for it anyway.

'I could not help but overhear the way that you said we should work together, i will grant you some of my power and see how this goes... i do enjoy watching anyway' After he said this i could see black slime like substances coming from the wall and sticking to me but after a few seconds it stopped and i could feel a slight increase in my overall strength but it was mainly in my legs that i felt the increase.

'Please make it entertaining and worth while me doing this' He said as i sunk through the ground and seemed to flash back into reality with no time passing at all. I walked over to the changelings as one leaped at me, i used my foot to smack it away but i managed to smash it through not only the wall but through a tree watching his limp body hit the floor and twitch before staying still in a small pile of blood emitting from the back of its head.

The other seeing what befell his friend dropped the sack and flew out of the house while emitting a high pitched scream of fright when seeing his friend his current state, after that he flew off crying out of his light blue eye's. I walked over to Fluttershy and took off my mask revealing my true face and smiling at her in a kind way before trying to start a conversation.

"Hey Fluttershy, long time no see don't you think?"

This being too much for her she emitted a little squeal and then fainted falling right into me and causing me to topple over with her laying on my legs making me to turn a bright shade of red. I was attempting to get her off my legs when Rainbow Dash, Prim, Twilight and Rarity ran through the door after seeming the hole in the side and wondering what might have happened inside, they were not expecting this.

"What are... when..." Was all that came out of Twilight as she saw the scene in front of her.

"Please help me, i can't get up because she fell on me when she was admiring my socks!" I said trying to keep a straight face and look as though i was serious.

"Well, ok then ill help you up" Said Prim to had just come over and gave me a helping hoof in which i willingly took as i stood up and put Fluttershy on my back till she recovered.

While this was happening Rainbow Dash was rolling on the floor laughing at the scene, Twilight was shaking her head while looking at the floor and Rarity was looking disappointingly and my socks. I walked over to Rarity and my face fell to the ground while my feeling turned ice cold at the thoughts or what i did to her so i did all i could to make her forgive me.

"Hey Rarity do you want a hug?"

All of them once again went quiet and even Rainbow Dash had stopped rolling and laughing to look at what Rarity was going to say at this question.

"Oh... Why would you ask such a question Cinos?" She said while tilting her head to the left slowly.

"Yeah well i had killed you that one time and i wanted to see if i could get your friendship back by any means necessarily, sorry again by the way..." I said rubbing the back of my head and looking at the others reactions which were all the same, concentrated look as they all waited to see what Rarity would do.

She flung her arms round me and said "It's ok, you were able to bring me back and your trying to help now so it's just fine"

After listening to the "Awwwww" coming from Twilight, Rarity and even Prim but Rainbow Dash looked in an odd way at me and was maybe still questioning if i was on their side so i will just have to prove her wrong.

I turn to Rainbow Dash and say "Do you know where the others are?" which caused her to become flustered.

"You... they are near... look i don't know!" She said looking at the others who were laughing at this attempt to respond to my question.

"You can hug him too Dash, I am not the only one who can enjoy this experience!" Rarity said looking over at Dash who was now blushing and trying to hide her face from the group of pony's who were now waiting for the hug to happen.

"I'm... I'll do it later" Dash said looking at the floor and whispering to herself "this is so not awesome!"

I turned to the door talking to the pony's who i once hated and once tried to kill and were now talking to him like a great friend, this was one of the best moments of my life.

This is what great friends were really like.

We were soon at Twilight's house after having a nice and bright conversation on what has been happening since I had left and what was going to happen now that we were together, it was really fun!

I opened the front door and let the girls through before I went through as i thought this was a nice thing to do, after that we all hat on the floor around the table with me sitting next to Dash and Rarity which was not the best selection i could chose but it will have to do for the moment.

"So, first we have to work out who we are going to sleep with because i only have so many beds... looks like it will have to be two each!" Said Twilight with a scary smile, this could never end well.

"I... um would not mind sleeping with Cinos... that is if you don't mind..." Spoke Fluttershy first who got a dirty look from Rarity and an approving one from Twilight

"Very good!" She said to anypony who bothered to listen "I will sleep with Prim which means Dash and Rarity can share a bed together!"

We all got up and made our ways to the bedrooms even though i could see that everypony was looking at me instead of focusing were they were going, this made me blush a bit and look down at the floor. I went to the bathroom to wash myself so i was not all smelly for poor Fluttershy when i noticed a figure in the mirror above the sink.

"Oh hello, did not expect to be able to show you this so soon but please stay calm and i'll show you something you might like" Said a voice echoing inside my head which caused me to have another case of a severe headache.

I looked at the mirror to see myself but half of my body was gone and was replaced with another type of body. This body was black with huge wings and red eyes which glimmered in the light, the mane was fully black much like my own but had stripes of purple in it. I could not help but noticed the black studded armor that also came with that side of my body, my cutiemark was a white and red skull.

"Who am i..." I whispered to myself hoping the voice could hear my comment.

"This is me and the power I can give you if you let me get inside further and let me power you up more next time, all you have to do is ask and you can become almost invincible and stride over to even Princess Celestia and push her aside... I can tell you that if you control my power that we can become the best of friends or..." The other side of my grinned in a way that shown his spiked teeth "... I can be your worst enemy"

"How... how can i control you?" I said sounding desperate but really wanting to know how i can make this huge power mine.

"You will in due time, when you need it that is..."

The voice in my head had disappeared and my headache had faded away, there was a ringing in my head so i decided to take a shower to make sure that i not only smell good but am nice and clean. After applying a small amount or rose scented shampoo to my mane i left to the bedroom where i got straight in and took out my book of the newest book from the Daring Do series called 'Daring Do and the batmare bandit' which i was so concentrated in that i did not see Fluttershy come in and slip in bed next to me.

"Cinos, do you mind sharing that book... that is if you don't mind..."

"Sure, here you go, do you want me to start from the start?"

"Oh no, i don't mind you continue the part your on" Fluttershy said with a small smile on her face "Take your time to read as fast as you want"

We had been reading for about an hour till i noticed a creaking at the door and knew it was either someone outside or the wind, it would be best to find out. I lean over and put one arm over Fluttershy's shoulder as i bend down and whisper in her ear "Do you believe in love at first sight?"

Fluttershy looked at me with a slightly confused facial expression and knew that she did not understand where i was coming from.

"Well it's because I want to embrace only you, Fluttershy" I knew this would bring a reaction of some sort from outside but i just heard a huge gust of wind outside which made my stomach do a flip, had i just been saying that to her and no one else?

"Do you really feel that way because... Erm.... We have only known each other for a while and well..." She finished the sentence with a since an making a little 'eep' noise she then slowly returned the hug which i had started and made herself comfortable leaning on my neck which made her beautiful pink mane flutter in the wind.

My heart was beating ferociously inside of my chest and i could feel my face heating up but i was still continued until we were wrapped around each other, the book had long since fallen on the floor. I was still wondering who was outside when Fluttershy suddenly smiled and looked up at me.

"I do believe in love at first sight because... it is happening right now"

"Fluttershy I-" suddenly a huge white pony jumped on me followed by Twilight and Prim who looked like she had been forced to wake up.

"So, what were you two doing wrapped around each other?" Said Rarity leaning up and tilting her head.

Suddenly Prim burst out laughing but Twilight ran out the room with what looked like tears in her eyes which caused me to look at Fluttershy who was the brightest shade of red i had ever soon.

"Well lets all sleep here then, we need a good night sleep anyway" With that Rarity jumped in next to me and nearly crushed my spine giving me a hug which knocks me out, not my favorite way to go to sleep but it will have to do. When i woke up everyone had already gone and i was left on the bed, it seemed i did not have any dreams that night but that seemed a good thing. I stumbled to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth when i noticed something.

My socks were missing.

I run back to the bedroom and search under the bed and everywhere i can think they would have gone when suddenly my head hurt and i could hear various phrases which stung like needles.

'They did this to you' I tried to tun down the stairs but stumbled 'You are nothing to them' my head hurt more then ever but i continued my search for my socks 'You can do it you know, snap them like a twig and be done with it' I found them outside the shower and put them on, the voice then drifted away faster than it came. I stumbled down the stairs of the tree like building and reached the main room or the book room, you pick the name.

Everyone looked different but there were two people who were really quite depressed, that was Rainbow and Twilight but everyone else looked quite normal and quite jolly so i decided to speak up and get on our way.

"Ok, let's get going!" I said fist pumping the air and running out the door towards the place that is the train station that can lead us to Canterlot.

I caused the others to run after me over the bridges that connected the islands together and it was quite a journey which caused us to get pretty out of breath but we did make it. It was not the best path to take but we were able to get into the train which used suspended rails to travel, the journey was quite short and mainly was made up of us all complaining on Twilight's new book which was about a relationship between a white pegasus and a purple unicorn but that was when it clicked.

As the bus was nearing the station i turned around and stared Twilight straight in the eyes to see hers darting about until they reached onto the castle itself and her mouth fell open. I turned to see what had made her so stunned until I saw the dark shapes flying towards the train leaving ice where ever they went and killing off plants and other natural wildlife as they went, it truly was a horrible sight.

Suddenly the train screeched to a stop which caused everyone to jolt and for Fluttershy to collide with my stomach which a painful crunch. After she was done saying sorry for the third time i got up and slid open the train door and slowly took out the torch that was inside of Pinkie's saddlebag, it will come in use with all the flickering lights.

I said i would go on my own but Fluttershy just gripped onto my let and was soon joined with an overenthusiastic Rarity so i confirmed that i would let Fluttershy go along with me as she wanted to so much, the others would have to go the other way to the engine room and get the lights back on in the train. Fluttershy and me were walking down the train when the lights suddenly stopped flashing and went out altogether which caused Fluttershy to wince and lean on my which at the time i did not mind because i knew how she felt, i could barely control my shaking hand which held the flashlight.

"Hey, are you ok?" I replied as i saw Fluttershy panting and tearing up out of fright and knew that she needed to be calmed down as soon as possible.

"Well... I will be find just, stay here with me ok?" She said looking up into my eyes which nearly made me tear up in happiness knowing she was ok but... why would i be doing that, i only pretended to say that i loved her to see who was outside. Suddenly my mind was dragged out of its current mode and back into reality when i noticed two white balls of light which looked quite like eyes staring at me and Fluttershy but i had more important things to worry about.

The battery were running out.

I kicked open the door to the room nearest to attempt to find battery's for the flashlight which currently kept me and Fluttershy sane in this crazy darkness but i could only fumble through the dusty draws in a pointless attempt to keep myself occupied. As the flashlight started to dim i started to get scared and felt my heart beating faster as i slammed on the switch on a table lamp and the room light in a crazy attempt to get light but it was all in vain as the light slowly dimmed out into total darkness.

I snapped around and say Fluttershy staring into these white balls of light hanging from the wall which her eyes large and bleeding and her whole body shaking and sweating in the small portion of light which is coming from the balls themselves. I ran back though the door when suddenly she stopped shaking and her eyes turned red and she slowly turned her head to face me with a blood stained face and opened her wide mouth to reveal thousands upon thousands of spiked teeth that caused me to stop and slowly back off into the room that i originally came from but saw too scared to move any faster than a snail.

I fumbled for my mask but could not find it inside my bag, without it I could not make any spells for light or defense against this new enemy who stood before me. Suddenly in a gust of wind the thing disappeared which caused me to look around drastically for the new position of my enemy when suddenly it appeared in front of me running at me and knocked me on the floor.

I kicked the thing off me with my back legs and it flipped in the air causing a heavy blow with its own leg on the left side of my face which knocked me into the wall of the train and nearly broke it.

"Fluttershy, what has gotten into you?" I said desperately through the blood now dripping from the inside of my mouth which caused me to become slightly dizzy when suddenly I got a response from this thing that used to be Fluttershy.

"I hate everything about you, you know that?" It said through the spiked smile which had seemed to get large than i though possible as it slowly walked over to me with a slight limp as it went.

"Goodbye is the hardest thing to hear but if it is from whom you love it cuts through you like water" It continued as it advanced towards my crumpled body and threw more hurtful insults at me. Suddenly the lights came on and the thing in front of me covered its eyes and I took it as a chance to smash my front hoof into its face sending it flying backward and hitting the wall with a painful thud.

I could hear hoof steps behind me but as blood filled my mouth my vision went blurred and i was not able to think before i fell to the floor with a sense of hurt not from my wound but in my chest.

I really did have feeling from Fluttershy.

I awoke hearing the voice of the Rarity who was looking down at me from the side of my bed and who let out a sigh as she saw my eyes opens.

"He is back with us, darling are you ok?" Said Rarity looking down at me with a smile that I was so happy to finally see again after what had just happened.

"So, you got the lights back on?" I say sitting up and feeling the unfamiliar bandages which are wrapped around my jaw which had been easily dislocated after just being healed a while back.

"Yes we got the lights back on, Fluttershy seems hurt more than you but we should get moving or those... things might find us soon" Rarity said turning her head and looking quickly around the darkness to see if anyone was there before planting a kiss on my forehead and walking off to get to the others. I get out of bed and walk off to not to join the others but towards the front of the train and slowly opened the door and looked at the apocalyptic castle that stood ahead, I slid through the door and ran to the nearest cover that i could find.

Knowing that it would be better to go alone and risk less chance of them getting hurt I continued towards the gates of the castle which seemed surprisingly unprotected compared to the rest of the area. I went to the side of the castle and flew slowly up to the roof while checking around to see if anyone was looking at me, I was quite lucky and made it to the roof.

I looking through the glass plates of the roof and saw Enya who was a light orange and had a red and blue tinged mane. You could not miss one thing about her though, she was encased in a ball of water and there were tones of bandages wrapped over her eyes which caused her to stumble a bit as she walked around next to the throne.

I did the only thing that seemed to make sense at the time, I crawled into a ball and closed my eyes which led me into the dream with my power, the power which I could not control. I opened my eyes and saw the cage that i could remember so well.

"So, what is it that you look for from me this time?" Said the shimmering darkness that was in the shape of an alicorn with an aura that looked very much like Nightmare moons.

"All of it, all the power that you can give me without making me crazy" I say raising one hoof and tapping my heart to indicate what happened last time i was driven crazy with the power.

"Well, lets see if you can handle it and good luck" It said with a grin as it raised its own hand and the black balls of power did not cover just cover my legs it covered my whole body. I was shaking and it left like someone had dropped a huge weight on my back but i still thought it and soon returned to the real world with my body more powerful than usual and a aura of fire pulsing around me.

I attempted to solidify my power and then suddenly there was a huge pulse of fire let off my shield like aura that broke the glass under me causing me to fall right into the middle of the hall crushing a changeling that happened to be under me at the time. I felt the power flowing through my body and felt the red in my eyes as i slowly walked towards the orange pony that sat leaning to one of the side rests of the throne.

"Hello Cinos, I was expecting you to get off that train a little bit sooner" Said Enya who had gotten off the throne and was now advancing towards me "Let's see how powerful you are with a little fight shall we?"

"You got yourself a fight" I said charging towards her as she indicated for the changelings to leave while there was still time. I threw my fist at her watching the force impact on her shield and using my new speed I flashed around her delivering hundreds of kicks powered with fire to her shield.

Suddenly i feel a strong kick smash into my kidney from the blind pony that was somehow alive from my assault from earlier. We get into the heat of battle kicking and hitting at each other but as i only hit her shield she hits me directly first focusing on my organs but then going on to try and break my legs.

Suddenly she was there and then she was not, she smashed me to the floor and followed with continuous hits in the air which caused me to spit blood so much that the floor was covered with the stuff. Suddenly i heard a voice in my head which sound almost happy with the events that was happening before him.

"Need my help, just let me into you for ten seconds and see what I can do" Came a ringing voice in my head which caused me to lose focus and get another hit to my leg which nearly made me fall over. I whispered "Yes" and suddenly I was pushed out of my own body and watched upon the scene from above.

A flash of light came out of me and when it cleared I looked exactly like the darkness accept for being white and still not at tall.

"So Enya, lets see if your shield can handle this" I said with a smile as i whole body went on fire and i blasted towards my enemy. I smashed my fist into the shield and i was surprised to see it pass straight through the smash the orange pony in the stomach which caused her to fall over and for her shield to flicker off.

After smashing her about and kicking her across the floor at high speed i was suddenly returned to my body and was able to see the broken body of the once proud pony called Enya. I ran over to her any picked her up helping her stand on all four hoofs causing her to look at me in a very confused look.

"Why are you helping me, a few moments ago you where huge and could have easily killed me at any time?" She said shaking and having to use the throne to balance herself. "I hate you and everyone else, I will help Discord create the perfect world with or without support!" She shouted pushing me away any showing her hatred towards me.

"The best way to make the world a better place is to make yourself a better person" I said as i slowly went over and put my fount legs around her. I expected to feel a blow at me chest or to feel the shield being built back up but all i felt was an arm on my own shoulder and tears dripping into my mane.

"You know what, you are right" She said as the necklace resting around her neck shattered leaving a jem of a red, full heart on the floor next to it. We embraced for about three minutes as i let her release all her sadness in me when suddenly her lips met mine and she brought me into a long and soft kiss.

After a bit we broke apart and she said "How are we going to get out, there are loads of changelings in the castle and if they see you or me without the necklace then we are done for!"

"We might need to fight a bit mo-"

My sentence was cut short by the sound of the doors crashing open and not only the crew that i had left in the train but the whole of the royal guard was standing there.

"We thought you might require a little help and we thought that by going down and getting the royal army from the prison down below we would be able to get this place cleared up in ten seconds flat!" Said Rainbow looking up at me and Enya who was smiling at the action she could hear around her.

"Well, we need to get going Enya so I guess I will be seeing you sometime later" I said as she yet again brought me in for another hug which i took but sadly had to break as Twilight, Fluttershy and Rarity decided to pull me out by my front hoof. "Enya, your a really good person so just remember that ok?" I shouted as we exited the castle doors and received a wave back from her.

Prim was standing outside groaning at how she was not able to get any action and had to fight changelings so i nudged her and whispered "I'll let you at the next big enemy we see ok?" and with that she smiled and nodded as went to ask Twilight were she knew any others could be.

"Twilight, you know what any others could be hiding?" I said looking at her with a confused expression but she just laughed and looked over at her friends.

"I think you will like who we have to face next and so will everyone else, she is the betrayal and i can understand why" Said Twilight as she sat down on the marble floor and yet again looked up at me.

"So, who are we going to be going after next!" I said getting maybe a bit too exited as i hopped from one hoof to the other in excitement.

Twilight pointed towards the islands which were quite a distance away from Ponyville as one single name escaped her mouth.

"Trixie"
