Chapters Chapter 1: Horses are Cute?!?
Chapter 1: Horses are Cute?!?
He began his new life in a room surrounded by horses. He was lying on the ground. He sat up so he could get a better look at his surroundings. He was in a room that was a very girly color and was completely covered in streamers and balloons. The room was full of the sound of people talking, so he twisted around to see the motor mouths and was shocked to see six horses there instead of...? He couldn't think of anything else that would be there instead. When he saw the horses he had two thoughts before he succumbed to the blackness of the subconscious, one was complete instinct and the other was his free will. The first thought was, "Hmm, these girls are kinda cute!". How he knew they were girls, he had no idea. Maybe it was their eyelashes or the shape of their heads. The three that were closest were all chattering away at him. The first one was orange with freckles and a cowboy hat. She had a southern accent. The second one was a pink horse who was looking like his arrival deserved a party. She continued to ask him a flurry of friendly questions, pausing every now and then to talk to the others or introduce herself.
Chapter 2: Competition
Fluttershy was nervous. Not like her usual nervousness but like a mix between shock and...something else. She couldn't describe it. She never felt like this before. And that feeling only came when she looked at him. She looked over at the chair across from her and saw Twilight staring at him also.

Chapter 5: Sonic Trans-Dimensional Boom
When the blue Pegasus that Twilight said was Rainbow Dash approached, Void grew nervous. Still covered in streamers from Pinkie's party canon, Void remembered the look of lust she gave him when he first saw her. He was about to say hello to her when she turned and walked around to his side and stopped next to his wing. She held it up in her hoof and said "Know how to use this?"
*****
Twilight knew something was wrong. This was just Rainbow's test to see if a colt was worthy to "be her pillow tonight" and everypony knew there were hard challenges but this was something unreal. It looked like someone took a knife and shredded a slice in a fabric except there was no knife or fabric only the slice. Before he fell into the hole, Fluttershy of all people called out "Vooooiid!!!" as if to warn him. A second after he entered, the rip closed. One second passed. Two. Twilight couldn't bear the thought of losing somepony she had feelings for. Three seconds. A low hum started behind them. Four seconds. There was a whump followed a moment later by something hitting Fluttershy and sending her and the projectile a yard away. When Twilight saw what the projectile was she started to grind her teeth. Sprawled on the ground was a dazed and dusty Fluttershy and on top of her was Void looking scraped up from the impact and a bit shaken. When he realized who he was on he scrambled to get up blushing and looking embarrassed, saying sorry to Fluttershy. She too was blushing. Before Twilight could yell at Fluttershy, Rainbow said, " What the heck was that?!?"

Chapter 6: Special Report
When Princess Celestia read the letter from her student she gasped and almost dropped it into the fire. Her sister came in and asked, "Celly? Are you alright? I was going to raise the moon but you suddenly gasped!"
*****
After writing the letter to the Princess, Twilight was going to go show Void around Ponyville but she was interrupted when Spike belched up a letter from the Princess.

Chapter 7: Sorry if you have a HNNNG!!!! attack
Chapter 7: Sorry if you have a HNNNG!!! attack
On the train ride Rarity sat next to Twilight. "So why were you looking like that when Void crashed on Fluttershy?"
*****
Fluttershy didn't know it was possible to have so many emotions at once. Curiosity, worry, pride, embarrassment, and love. Definitely love..."Oh No!" She'd been trying not to use that word to describe her feelings for Void but now she said it and it cannot be reversed. She looked over at the seat next to her and saw the very stallion she was thinking about, sleeping and appearing to be having a fun dream. Her heart rate increased and she had a thought..."NO!!!" she almost said it aloud, "Thats only something that Rainbow Dash would do!". It took all her will and strength to stop herself from climbing on top of him and kissing him and embracing him. She looked at the window and saw her reflection, her face was redder than Big Mac's fur. She tried to calm herself down by looking at her other friends sleeping faces but it didn't help. She turned and rested her head on Voids shoulder. He slowly opened his eyes and said "Whatcha doin?" with a big yawn. Fluttershy shot off his shoulder and stammered "Um...w-well I w-was j-just, um trying to r-rest...?"
Chapter 9: Dark Secrets
Betrayal was the only thing Void felt. At first he thought his friends tricked him but they looked as surprised as he did. He still felt betrayed though. All the stories Twilight told him felt like a lie. Two guards came up and started dragging him away. He started kicking and screaming to his friends. Two more guards came and held his feet. As they were nearing the door he let out one final scream before someone took over his body.
*****
Fluttershy watched the stallion of her dreams being dragged away. When that horrible scream escaped Voids throat, a black splotch formed on the ground underneath the guards. All five of them fell through and the hole closed. A second later a similar hole opened in the roof. Only Void fell out of this one. He landed on all fours. He looked up and everyone gasped. That was not their friend. What scared Fluttershy the most was the flames. Flames were bursting out of the creatures eyes, darker than the darkest dark she had ever seen. It eerily flowed up it's face and gathered at the edges of it's forehead and jutted out, like horns. The once blue mane and tail are now jet black. Lips pulled back into a snarl, it takes an offensive stance facing the Princess. It was about to attack when the snarl curled into a smile and a laugh escaped the throat of the beast. It sounded like Void but it also had another voice behind Void's. The other voice was booming low almost jolly. "It's good seeing you again Celestia! I think I'll be taking your Elements of Harmony now." As it said this dark holes opened underneath the friends. The next thing Fluttershy knew she was fifteen feet in the air being held by a dark fiery hand that was also holding her friends. Rainbow Dash tried to struggle against the grip of the hand but it was to strong. Pinkie was laughing and snorting, "Hahaha-snort-haha! That tickles! Nyahahaha!" A fiery finger somehow stopped the noise from coming from Pinkie's mouth. It was complete chaos. And then everything was still. Fluttershy blinked. Rarities mouth was open in mid-scream.
*****
Twilight wasn't crying from the shock of the attack. She was crying because she heard every word the Princess said to Fluttershy. About her and Voids "relationship" and how she had to free him. No one knew but Twilight had enough power to overcome the time spell. She couldn't move but she could hear and see it all. She promised herself that she was going to increase her and Voids relationship, and beat Fluttershy.

Chapter 10: Catching Z's, Singing Cupcakes, Gaining Knowledge, Returning Home.
Pinkie Pie didn't understand why everyone was anxious. It was just another attack of darkness again, no bigee. The only ponies who looked calm were the Princess and Applejack. But then again she always looks calm when she's "tryin' tah catch some zee's" Pinkie always wondered how you could catch those little buggers. Fluttershy was sitting next to the bed that Void was on. Twilight was on the other side. Rarity was pacing the room. Rainbow was busy drawing one of the "tickle hands" and then stomping on it, shredding it, and then eating the shreds. Pinkie thought this looked like fun but was shunned by Rainbow when she tried to join in. She was now trying to ease the tension by singing "Cupcakes" but Void began to stir and everyone shushed her.
*****
Void opened his eyes and was greeted by ponies once again. However he wished it was anyone but them this time. He sat up and looked at everyone. Tears filled his eyes as he said, "I'm sorry...for the guards, for scaring my friends...for everything." He wiped the salty liquid from his eyes and said firmly to the Princess, "I will accept any punishment you give me." Everyone opened their mouth to speak but the Princess had the fastest tongue, "That won't be necessary. I was saying what I said so I could draw out Etherlos. That was Etherlos who was doing the damage, not you."

Chapter 11: Tour de Ponyville
Twilight was extremely happy today. She was finally going to show Void around Ponyville. She was naturally going to start at her library home which is where they were going to meet. She was then going to wander around with him and show him the hotspots. She would leave Sugarcube Corner for last because of the surprise she had in store.
*****
"I have gathered you all here today to discuss something extremely important." said Spike. He was going to tell his friends about how Twilight liked Void and hopefully they would help the two ponies together.

Chapter 12: Nature looks good on you
Void walked away from the sweet shop with a cake covered smile on his face. It was really nice of Twilight to buy that gigantic cake for him. It had the loveliest message on it: "Welcome to Ponyville, Void!"
*****
When Void left the party, Rarity and Spike confided with Twilight about the battle and started developing a plan. Meanwhile on the other side of the room Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie were talking about finding Fluttershy and developing their plan.
Chapter 13: Dreams
Fluttershy stumbled home in a daze. She was supposed to give her animals their specific amount of dinner but she just made a big pile in the middle of the room for all of them. She then climbed the stairs to her room so she could go to bed. However sleep did not come. She was to busy thinking.
*****
Void had a sleepless night as well. He to was asking questions.
*****
Rainbow Dash was pleasing herself beyond belief. Apparently just the thought of Void was all Rainbow needed to feel good. She let out a gasp as her pleasure reached a peak. After she recovered from the waves of sensitivity, she got up and looked at herself in the mirror. She was still dripping wet from her peak.
*****
Twilight was pacing the room again. She was thinking of ideas for making Void hers.
Chapter 14: Setup
Void awoke with a jolt, covered in sweat. The ominous voice that talked before his slumber had given him nightmares. Never the less he still had things to do. He heard that Applejack was fixing up her barn today. He naturally was going to offer his assistance. He got up brushed his mane (and gave it a good shake afterwards) and set off to Sweet Apple Acres. On his way there he was stopped by a breathless Spike.
*****
Rarity was staring anxiously out the window.

Chapter 15: Seduction from a Dark Overlord
Twilight was so excited she could almost scream. She couldn't believe Rarities plan actually worked! She arrived at the theater early so that she and Void could get good seats, but it appeared that Void was running late. She was just about to head inside because of the cold when the blue-maned Pegasus landed near the entrance. A smile grew onto her face as she approached Void. He turned and saw her, a look of surprise crossed his face.
*****
After the show Void walked Twilight home. It was a pretty uneventful night, aside from the fact that Twilight tried to snuggle with him half way through the show. He made a mental note to tell her, when they got to the library, about his feelings for her and Fluttershy. When they arrived Void decided to let it slide and tell her later. He was about to leave when Twilight invited him in for a cup of hot cider. He agreed to stay and walked back in and sat down.
Chapter 16: Back to the Void
Chapter 16: Back to the Void
Void didn't show up the next day. Nopony had any account of seeing him. Everyone just passed it off and theorized he was sick. He didn't show up on the second day either. Fluttershy suggested that the group of friends check up on him in his apartment, but they thought that he needed his rest. But on the third day of absence, the friends arrived in the apartment complex. They told the desk mare that they were visiting their friend who wasn't well and she gave them the location of his room. When they arrived outside his room they saw a "Do not disturb!" sign covering the mail slot. Nopony answered when they knocked even though they could hear mumbling inside. Twilight moved up to the door, pointed her horn at the lock, and unlocked it with a glow of her horn. When they opened the door they all gasped when they saw the horrific sight.
*****
Rainbow Dash woke up in the hospital bed. Her shoulder throbbed with pain. But there was more pain in her heart. She knew that it was Etherlos that called her that name, but it still broke her heart watching Void's lips move to the words. Her friends were all sitting around her.

Chapter 18: All aboard the path to certain Doom!
Unfortunately, the friends were coming up with zero plans. They couldn't think of anyway to find Void or defeat Etherlos. It was the day after Rainbow was hospitalized, and everyone was thinking of plans, when Spike burped up a letter. The letter wasn't rolled or sealed, just a flat sheet of paper. It was very frantic and short.
Chapter 19: Challenge Accepted
Chapter 19: Challenge Accepted
Pinkie Pie was in the same room as before. Etherlos was back in his chair. Void and Luna were still locked up. Her friends weren't around though.
*****
Rainbow Dash opened her eyes to the sight of the Cloudsdale racing course. She was at the starting line. Next to her in a starting position was Void. He glanced over at her and smirked. Then from nowhere, a start gunshot rang out. Instinct caused Rainbow to jump forward and start the race. Void was somehow in front of her. He spun around and faced her while still flying the course with ease, "Hey is that all you got or are you just not good enough."
*****
Applejack was back at Sweet Apple Acres. Everything seemed normal. She saw Big Mac and Granny Smith in the distance talking to a colt in a suit. She suspiciously walked over. Granny Smith pointed at AJ and said, "Oh! Thayer she iyes!" in her thick southern accent and old person lisp. The colt looked over and pointed a microphone in the direction of her mouth and said, "Applejack, is it true that Etherlos is possessing your friend, Void?"
*****
Void watched as Etherlos stole his friend's souls one by one. First it was Pinkie, and then Rainbow, followed by AJ and Rarity. Etherlos cackled in amusement as he marveled his prizes. The empty husks of the bodies of the stolen souls now served as his minions. They all lay lazily around his throne with their grey fur and the fire pouring from their eyes. Etherlos finished admiring his new pets and announced to the prisoners that he was going to now go and test Twilight. Void's heart filled with fear at the thought of the test for Fluttershy. Since he shared a body with Etherlos he learned about all his plans telepathically. She had to pass the test to live but this test was unbeatable for her. He willed the chains around him to snap so he could rescue his...fillyfriend. When Twilights soul appeared he knew that his beloved was going to either die or be imprisoned. It was at that moment that he realized who he was. The pendant around his neck glowed, and then he was gone, chains and all.
*****
Fluttershy was in the market in Ponyville. She looked around nervously searching for something, she couldn't think of what though. All the other ponies passed by her without acknowledging her presence. She then caught sight of a familiar blue tail, and began following it. She followed Void to the library. He walked in and shut the door behind him. She waited for a few minutes for him to come out. When he didn't she ventured inside. She heard voices upstairs so she followed them. She came to the door of Twilights room, which was open just a crack. She peered inside and nearly fainted. Inside, Void and Twilight were kissing passionately. They were beginning to undress themselves when Fluttershy looked away. She couldn't believe it.

Chapter 20: You're gonna get Pwnied!
"How'd you get here?!?" sputtered Etherlos. The darkness around them faded, and they were back in his throne room. Void said nothing. He swiped his hoof towards his chained friends and red projectiles flew and cut the chains holding them. Like magnets, the souls were pulled towards their bodies. When soul and body were reunited, the fire smothered out and the normal color returned to their bodies. The friends formed a circle around Etherlos. The dark being began frantically throwing dark projectiles at the group of friends. However in a great burst of speed, Void would appear in front of the friends and deflect the projectiles. After the last projectile was deflected Void suddenly appeared next to Etherlos and hit him with a large red weapon. He fell to the ground and shuddered from the pain. It had been a long time since he'd felt it. He looked at the weapon in the pegasus' hooves and almost laughed and gasped at the same time. In Voids hoof was a club made entirely of bright red hearts. Etherlos looked at his attacker and saw that Void's cutie mark and pendant had changed. Instead of a purple heart with an X through it, there was a bright red heart with no X. He stared at Void in disbelief.

Epilogue: Plans for the Future
When they returned to Ponyville the next day things began to feel normal again. After Etherlos' horrible test, Twilight realized how much Fluttershy and Void liked each other. She decided that she would be just friends with Void. It was obvious that the two ponies were smitten, why on earth would she want to stop that from happening? Hmm... This gave her an idea.
The End
MLP FiM Fanfic: Void of the Heart
Prologue: Party Crasher
The being was quite bored. He was currently occupying a dream about some video game. He decided to just add a few zombies and be done with it. After exiting the dream, the being entered the usual empty void that was his home. He sat there staring at nothing for...who knows how long. Then suddenly something entered the void. It was another stray dream, but this one was different. Usually stray dreams that enter the void are inanimate objects like birthday presents or jewelry, something that was loved. But this stray dream was a living thing, or at least was believed to be by the dreamer. The creature floating in the void with the being was a Pegasus, much like the ones from the place where the being was from. The being had an idea, "If I could somehow use the stray dream's form, I could return to Equestria!" With this thought in his head the being flew towards the stray dream. When the two made contact everything burst into a flash of white.
*****
The party was going quite well. Music was playing. Cake was being eaten. The five guest ponies were dancing alongside their host. It seemed like all was well in the world. Then suddenly in a great flash of light, several magic rings, covered with rune like symbols, materialized in the air. Floating in the center of them was a Pegasus.
Chapter 3: Introductions
When he awoke he saw the faces of angels. His heart rate started to increase as he stared at the two horses that were blushing at that party.
Chapter 4: Discoveries
Void learned a lot about himself that day. Apparently he was taught very well because he could remember facts like that the sun rises in the east or that stars are actually balls of gas. But he can't recall any personal memories like friends or family. The only thing he could remember about his past life was that he was definitely not a ho-, pony, as they call themselves here. After his talk with Twilight and Fluttershy (mainly Twilight) they said he could meet the rest of their friends and take a tour of Ponyville tomorrow when he got out of the hospital. This excited him greatly. Maybe he could find a clue about himself in the town he was sent to.
*****
Rainbow Dash was super excited to finally meet the mystery colt from yesterday. She was wondering what his personality is like, if he's good at flying, and if his "skills" would fit her needs. She started to sweat at the thought of her needs. "Well definitely strong and athletic, big where it counts, and very capable and desiring..." She was interrupted from her thoughts as all her friends next to her gasped and started murmuring to each other while Twilight brought the colt out of the hospital doors. She saw he wasn't very masculine but he did have those wings so he had to be at least somewhat fit. First Pinkie Pie bounced up and introduced herself using her mini party canon and singing a song welcoming...what was his name?...Void! Right, welcoming Void to Ponyville. Next was Applejack using her southern "Howdy!" greeting, and a jerky hoof shake. Rarity then went up and you could here the ideas for a new out fit for him running through her head. Then it was Dash's turn.
(Ya I know, short chapter. I had writers block for awhile. Don't worry it gets better.)
Chapter 8: Trouble
Void got off the train with a spring in his step and a smile on his face. His friends asked him why. He just said he got a good sleep, which was a lie. He didn't get any sleep at all last night because of what happened with Fluttershy last night left him incredibly giddy which is actually why he's happy this morning.
*****
Applejack was annoyed about this trip. It's not like seeing the Princess is good and all but it's just that she has better things to do than join a meeting about Void. She could be at home helping Applebloom make the apple cider or walk Granny Smith to her Physical Therapist. It's not that Void shouldn't be talked about, it's just that he's kinda yesterday's news. When they entered the Great Hall they all saw the deity of Equestria standing there smiling. All of them except Void ran to her and greeted her with warmth and happiness. Void trotted up, bowed, and said, "Greetings your Majesty!"

"I kissed Void..." said Fluttershy. Everyone gasped and turned to look at her. But nopony said anything.
*****
Etherlos was pleased with himself. He had taken control of the body completely, and had gained enough power to force out the actual owner. No more annoying fighting for control. Etherlos was seated on a throne made out of solidified shadows, shifting and undulating beneath him. Void, or Void's soul, was spiritually chained to the floor of the cavern. Etherlos remembered the look the Pegasus girl gave him when he spoke to her. A look of utter betrayal.
