Doom in a Pony Body

Load Full Story

Dark Side picked his head up from the cold metal walls that his transport caravan had given him. He sat up somewhat directly, placing a hoof on the back of his neck, rolling it, causing it to crack a few times. Light shone in his face unforgivingly, a sight he had hoped he would not see. His hooves shot up in his face to give his eyes relief from the bright eyesore. As his deep red eyes adjusted more and more to the harsh sunlight Celestia was offering him, he finally lowered his hooves, allowing in a face full of light. He brushed his hoof through his dark blue mane as he turned from side to side, taking in what was in the caravan with him. The only other two passengers were his friend and close associate Kaiser King and his wife, Sylvia King. He waved a hoof at them as they waved back.

This caused him to smile. At this point in his life, him smiling was becoming a rarity. Dark Side is one of those kinds of ponies that are unhappy so much that they relish the thoughts of making others feel the same way he does. Unhappy and miserable. Well, not exactly. Technically he himself believes he is happy. But it's obvious this is a front he uses in public. On some nights he would cry himself to sleep at what he had become. An egotistical, selfish, evil jerk. Even with him realizing it he couldn't have cared less what his view was. Others around him always thought he was happy because of the way he acts in public. That is, until he met one pony.

"Next stop: Ponyville!" The conductor up front said in a brash tone.

"Well, that's me. I guess I'll see you at the next Law Council board, Kaiser." Dark Side said, his black magic aura encasing his travel suitcase and his work suitcase as he began to lift himself from the worn seat, causing his back to crack a few times.

"You sure you don't want to hit up Sugarcube Corner with me later? I heard it's a good place. I mean, I'm not commissioning to far from h-"

"Nah its alright. Tell ya what. If I change my mind I'll send you a letter."

"Alright. See you later old friend." Kaiser said in his usual happy-go-lucky voice.

"Bon Voyage!" His wife said, waving to Dark Side as he stepped of the train and into Ponyville station.

Dark Side was greeted with the smell of oil,not very out of the ordinary but not exactly welcome. As he walked his way from the station, ponies if all colors and sizes turned to look at him.

What they saw was a stallion who couldn't be any older than 20 walking through the streets of Ponyville, a red business suit with ruffles on it, a prosecutors badge shone upon his breast. His eyes squinted a bit like this because they didn't look at you like this in Canterlot. Dark Side wiped a few beads of sweat from his head as he finally made it onto a dirt road.

"What in hell?" Dark Side said as he noticed what seemed to be an apple orchard blocked by a white gate. As he gazed upon the apples, their shine glistening in the sunlight, his stomach groaned. He placed a hoof over it in response.

"Don't worry." Dark Side said, directing his words to his stomach. He eyed some apples in the orchard. "You will be fed soon."

Dark Side walked up to the gate and mantled it, trotting over  to one of the trees. His target hang dormant in the tree, along with multiple other apples. As he looked around the bark of the tree for something to get it down with, he spotted a wound basket directly under the tree. He then understood what had to be done. He stood a few inches from the tree, facing the opposite direction, closing his eyes tightly as his hooves lifted a bit off the ground. It was pretty hard to do, in truth, mostly because of his suit. He then shot his feet at the tree with all his might, causing it to shake violently. 5 or 6 apples proceeded to fall, one or two completely missing the basket. He picked up one and was about to sink his teeth into the sweet delicious fruit until he heard a voice.

"Hey who are you s'pposed to be?" A voice said in a very country accent. It had been a long time since Dark Side had last heard a voice like that, being in Canterlot and all. Dark Side turned to see who it was.

An orange mare was trotting toward Dark Side's location. Her mane was tannish and was tied in a bow in the back of her head. She had freckles and green eyes. To Dark Side, she looked alright, being t he'd seen better.

"I'm having an apple." Dark Side said plainly.

"Ah know yer having one of mah apples but what are ya doing on my property? Wait. How'd you manage to get that there apple down in the first place?" Applejack asked quizzically.

"I kicked the tree and it fell out. I figure that if I knock it down it'd be fair game to eat it y'know?" Dark Side said, showing little to no remorse on his actions.

"Well ah'll make a deal with ya." Applejack said, a glint in her eye.

"A deal?" Dark Side asked, intrigued.

"Applebucking season his comin up. Ah could use an extra set of hooves 'round here." Applejack explained. "In fact, we'll give you free housin too! And you can have all the apples you want."

"Uhhh..."

"It's a deal! Mighty fine! C'mon, I'll show you where you'll stay!" She said grabbing onto Dark Side's hoof, dragging him.

"Hey! My luggages!"

7:09 Sweet Apple Acres

"An this is where you'll sleep." Applejack said, showcasing a giant stack of hay formed into a bed.

Dark Side simply stared at his temporary sleeping quarters. At first he thought maybe they were trying to piss him off, but then he thought that they may not be able to afford better.

After escaping his thinking mode he looked around to see that Applejack had left him to get accustomed with his new room. Dark Side scratched his head and lie down on the hay, face up. He sunk into the somewhat prickly stack, yet it was comfortable for whatever reason. In a few minutes he was asleep.

Dark Side awoke to a gooey 'shlork' sound he heard coming from the room beside him. He got up, wiping his eyes of water and eyecrust. He pulled a root beer out of his luggage and swigged it as if it was an actual beer, relishing the taste as he heard the sound once again.

"Damn that sound is annoying." Dark Side conplained as he trotted put of his room. He walked around blindly for a minute, not noticing where he was. It was likely midnight at that time. After wandering aimlessly for five or so minutes he bumped into a door softly. Realizing what it was, he pressed his dark gray ear curiously onto the door.

Shlork

"What the hell?!" Dark Side exclaimed in a hushed voice. He pushed open the door a bit to see a sight he had bot expected.

"Big Mac!" Applejack silently exclaimed in pure ecstacy. She was lying up against a haystack, with a giant red stallion on top of her. In all honestly, Dark Side didn't know what they were doing, but at that point he could see it wasn't good. A smile stretched across his face as he developed an idea in his head. An idea worthy of an evil genius.

"Well, well, well." Dark Side said calmly walking toward the two, clapping his front hooves together omniously as he did.

"Dark Side! Ah...it's not what it looks like!"  Applejack said, attempting to escape the situation. She looked around nervously, having broken her elements' meaning.

The large red pony silently stood there, blushing insanely. His eyes scampered across the room like a roach introduced to light.  He continuously tapped one of his hooves in an attempt to get his mind of of the situation.

"Nothing huh? I thought I saw..... penetration?" Dark Side said, honestly unsure of what he was talking about. He was really just saying what he would hear in a conversation between Kaiser and him concerning his private bedroom activity.

"Uhhh..."

"Nnnoppe..."

"Im sure it wasn't," Dark Side said nonchalantly, pacing around the two siblings. This was the perfect opportunity.  "Maybe we should go ask Granny Smth about this." Dark Side said grinning devilishly. He knew he had the two right in his hooves. There was virtually no escape.

"Alright... what do you want?" Applejack asked sweating profusely.

"Well..."
