Lost: Amnesia

Three days since the hydra attacked. Me and Pinkie Pie had managed to decorate the cave a bit with flowers, gems, and other pretty things to make it feel more, comfortable, I guess you could say. I had practiced some fishing with my katana by spearing fish from the pond. Pinkie didn't like the fish, but she's a pony, a vegetarian. I, on the other hand, had to eat meat for protein. The nuts did have a good amount of protein, but we were short on nuts. I only ate about two fish. Some sort of edible piranha. They were easy to catch because all you had to do was cause a little ripple on the far side of the pond, away from where we were, and the fish would start to come to the surface. It was a large pond. No, large was an understatement. It was an immense pond!

The third night it was a bit colder than usual, so we had to build a large fire. We knew that building this would not only warm us up, but if Rainbowdash or somebody else was searching from a high altitude, they might be able to spot the light from the fire and find the smoke.

Even thought we had built a fire big enough to engulf a pony-sized object entirely, we were still a bit cold. I couldn't believe that the night was that cold!!! Even though I was pretty chilly, Pinkie was a little colder than me, so I took off my coat and wrapped it around her.

She looked up at me and blushed a bit before looking back at the fire. "Thanks."

I chuckled a bit.

She looked back up at me. "What's so funny?"

I brought her in and sat her head on my lap. "Oh, 'nothin. It's getting pretty late. How about you get some sleep?"

She closed her eyes as I started stroking her mane. Pretty soon, she was fast asleep. I laid my backside against the dirt cliff and fell asleep as well.

I woke up to a high pitched scream. "ROE!!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!"

I looked around and saw Pinkie getting dragged behind some bushes! I quickly pinched my arm as I got up. *Not a dream, this is for real* I thought to myself. I grabbed my katana and ran for my pink friend.

My running was slowed by my make-shift cast that Pinkie made me as I crashed through several bushes. When Pinkie was in my sights, I found that the kidnapper was a flier as I saw Pinkie Pie flying through the air far in the distance. I could see who the culprit was, but couldn't make out any crucial details. All that I knew was that it was black in color and had light blue wings. Pretty soon, Other flying things flew beside the kidnapper and each grabbed onto a different part of Pinkie, one grabbing her right side of her, the other grabbing her left. The original one still grabbed her by the hind legs.

I kept on running, still slowed down by my healing wound, but they were too fast for me! Every second we grew and inch apart from each other! I never stopped running. I already lost the others, along with Fluttershy. I was not going to lose Pinkie Pie! I continued to run faster and faster, ignoring the pain from my ankle! I was getting closer to her, but that wasn't going to help. I crashed through some bushes and fell down another cliff! I managed to grab onto a strong root with my left hand that was sticking out of the cliffs' edge.

I put the katana back into its' sheath on my belt, and grabbed on to the root with both hands, facing the cliff. Pretty soon, I heard an all too familiar buzzing noise. I turned away from the cliff and couldn't believe my eyes!!! Three of the changelings from my dream!!! I froze in fear, not knowing what I should do! Quickly looking around, trying to think of a plan, I gave up. They lunged at me and carried me off deep within the Everfree forest.

Even if I wanted to resist, it was useless. One of them had bit me and must of had some type of venom because I couldn't feel my limbs! They carried me deep into a large cave hidden behind foliage of all sorts. The cave was also littered with green crystals and changelings, however, most of them were the kind of changelings from my dreams. I occasionally found a group of the original changelings randomly around the place.

I was starting to gain feeling in my limbs again, but it was useless when I was taken into a large room in the cave and pinned against a wall. I was held above a load of sharp, green crystals pointed towards me. They shot the same green glue as before at my wrists and ankles as they were spread out, putting me in a star-like pose.

A few minutes later, a familiar, ginormous changeling flew down. Oh, did I mention that it resembled an alicorn?

I watched in awe as the creature stood before me, staring me right in the eyes since she was the exact height that I was now. "How did you- I thought I killed you! I made sure you were dead! I jammed my katana into your throat and repeatedly stabbed you with it after you almost killed my friends!!!"

An evil sneer came to her face. "Funny, I don't remember. Oh, wait! I do actually. You see, you killed my clone. I'm the real deal! And if your thinking of killing me, don't bother!"

She yanked off my belt, along with my katana, and threw it on top of the flat surface of a rock.

Queen Chrysalis turned back to look at me. "You're a bit lucky we are in my private room. Your friends are in another place. If they saw what I'm about to do to you, they would probably be scarred for life. You see, I feed off of love, and when I'm really hungry, then I will take it!"

I was horrified at that last sentence. "So, you're going to rape me?!"

She laughed maniacally for a minute. "I might. But only if I need to!"

She left the room with a devilish grin. "Buh-Bye! See you soon!" She laughed some more as I heard her wings beat as she flew away.

"See you soon?" Was she planning on raping me? I thought she said she might! I need to get out of here! I am strictly staying abstinent, no matter what! I searched frantically for a way to get out of this place, but to no avail. I was trapped and going to be molested by an evil, love hungry, changeling queen!!!

Then, I felt something strange about my left arm! It was not completely glued down! After a few minutes of struggling, I managed to release my left arm from the glues grasp! I quickly tried to reach for the iron rod from my left ankle. It was a bit hard, but I managed to grab the rod and pull it out.

I reached for the glue around my left ankle and cut it free! I cut the glue off of the wall and stuck it near the glue where my left arm was for later. I did the same thing to my right leg. I didn't cut out my right arm, but only get it loose enough to slip through.

I then placed the rod back into place and grabbed onto some glue with my left hand. Then, I slipped my right arm out and held onto some glue on the wall also. I then used the glue like suction cups and made my way beside the crystals on the ground. Letting go of the glue, I managed to put on my belt. She only yanked it off by unbuckling it.

I held onto my katana and crept out of the room. I found that the path as very narrow and to the left of it was a ginormous ravine. I slowly walked down the path, peaking into other rooms trying to see if I could find where everyone else was.

After about half an hour of searching, I heard the familiar country accent of a certain mare. "PUT ME DOWN YAH FILTHY VARMINTS!!! I'LL HAVE Y'ALL KNOW, THAT I HAVE THE STRENGTH T'WOOP YOUR FLANKS RED AS THE FRESHEST APPLES BACK AT MAH FARM!!!!"

  I ran straight ahead for the sound. Pretty soon, I found Applejack being carried by two changelings into a room on the other side of the ravine. There was a bridge connecting the sides, big enough for me to cross. Without any hesitation, I ran to the other side and into the room. AJ had already been put in the same position as me. Without being seen, I cut off both of the changelings heads.

luckily, there were no crystals under her. I cut her free and caught her before she fell on the ground.

After I set Applejack down, she thanked me. "Oh sweet Celestia thank you!!! Ah thought we were gonna be trapped in this here darn place forever!!!"

I smiled and looked around. Everybody else was in the same situation. Everybody except for Fluttershy. She wasn't even there! After cutting out Pinkie Pie and Rainbowdash, I went over to Twilight. I took one quick glance at her horn before cutting her out.

"What happened to your horn? It's all, bloody, a-and cracked!"

She looked up at her horn and gasped! "What?! How long has it been like this?!"

Pinkie Pie bounced up and down a couple times. "It's been like that since I've been here!"

I held up my katana so she could she herself, like a mirror. Her horn was badly bruised at the base, causing the base to turn a deep blue color, and edges of it were cracked and broken off. I cut the unicorn loose and caught her. She was still traumatized at the sight of her horn.

I walked over to the zebra. "You must be Zecora. Pleasure to meet you!" I said as I freed her of the glue.

She spoke too, but every time she did, it was a rhyme.

"Why yes I am.

You must be Roe.

our friends have told you all about me.

Or so I know."

I was a bit dumbfounded by how fluently she rhymed, but that didn't matter right now. We had to find Fluttershy and get out of this place!

I imagined Queen Chrysalis knew about my feelings for Fluttershy, so we headed off in the direction that seemed a likely choice for the lair. The place in the cave that went deeper, more changelings around, and more crystals littered here and there. After about another half an hour of running deeper into the cave, we made it to a large room glowing with those weird crystals and filled with changelings.

The others stayed beside the entrance, out of sight, while I peeked inside. I found Fluttershy, well, Fluttershys' head, hanging upside down. The rest of her body was covered in the green goo. She was frightened. I looked around. Only changelings. The queen was nowhere to be found. I reached for my katana, but stopped when I heard large wing beats.

Queen Chrysalis flew down next to Fluttershy. I listened closely as the changeling queen said something to Fluttershy. "Why hello, Fluttershy, is it? I was just going to, how do you say, feed off your friend Roes' love. But, before I left, I thought of something just for you." A hoard of the newly evolved changelings flew down onto the ground from the ceiling. Then she flew up and made a small cut at the base of Fluttershys' prison with her horn. It slowly started to break more. Queen Chrysalis continued speaking. "I will let my changelings feed off of you."

I lost it. I couldn't control what happened next. My body and eyes glowed that same white glow when I saved those three fillies, but this time, My eyes were completely white, and I had two fangs protruding from my mouth.

The next thing I knew, I had backed up Queen Chrysalis against a wall, her horn and wings sliced off, and several cuts to her body, with my katana against her throat, ready to slice. The room was full of dead, sliced up changelings. My body was still the same, but the glow had decreased, and my pupils and irises had returned. I still had those two fangs.

Before I sliced her throat, I said these exact words through clenched teeth. "Nobody. Ever. Messes with. My friends. AND NOBODY!!! EVER!!! HURTS!!! FLUTTERSHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I cut her head clean off. No signs of mercy. My rage was released, and I grew tired and wobbly. My white glow disappeared, but my fangs were still there. They shrunk enough to stay behind my lips, but they were there.

I walked over to Fluttershy, who fell unconscious, and cut her free. I put the katana in its' sheath and carried the soft yellow pegasus toward the others, who were all in shock. I ignored their expressions and continued walking, looking for an exit. They all followed me, but stayed a good distance behind. As we continued our search for an exit, I heard a familiar bark.

I ran. I ran as fast as my legs could carry my. I staggered a bit because of my ankle, but took out the rod and stuck it in behind my belt. My ankle had fully healed somehow, but I didn't question how or why. I just ran to the sounds of barking. As I ran, I heard the barking increase in volume. I blocked any other noise. Pretty soon, I was outside in the forest with Fluttershy still asleep in my arms and Fang running towards me.

I reached out with my right arm and hugged Fang tightly. His leg had fully healed also! I watched as the others ran out with me. I saw Twilight run out and pull Spike in an extremely tight embrace.

As I continued to hold onto Fang, I felt tears rolling down my eyes.
