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.
