" this cake is going to love this cake!!" Pinkie shouted . The mane 6 and spike were at scc making a birthday cake, a  cake for...

"Pinkie... it isn't supposed to be CENTREUS is going to love this cake?" Rainbow dash said, holding her laugher .

"Yep! That's what I said!" Pinkie said hopping in her usual way. Rainbow couldn't take more and fell backwards laughing. The rest laughed too but not like her.

"Yeeeeaaaaahhhhh right" Applejack said. "Either way, it's a surprise party so shhh"

"Yeah. He can be entering at any moment so we don't know what's going to happen. We must hurry too." Twilight assured. Fluttershy nodded as spike put a ruby on top of the cake.

"There we go. " spike smiled as he looked at the cake.

"We should get the cake to the castle now. Centreus is coming this way ." Rarity said. Twilight looked out the window

"He is coming this way. Fluttershy, try to go to a different place while we move the cake and the party cannon to the castle . " Twilight then packed up the cake in a box and held it above her head with magic.

"Um... sure... he won't mind right? "

"No I wont"

The sudden appearance of centreus made the girls jump startled. Luckily, twilight hid the box behind her, so centreus did not see the box.

"Um... ok... I hope the animals don't get scared ." She said

"Don't worry. I can use magic to disguise myself with myyyyyyy..."  centreus said, forgetting he didn't had his horn . "nevermind..."

Pinkie pie shaked her mane.  Confused, the rest looked at her as the necklace fell from her mane. Somehow she had it... just ... somehow.

"pinkie... you still surprise me. Thanks "Centreus grabs then the necklace and looks at it for a minute before putting it inside the saddle bag . " Maybe I should go just like I am. " fluttershy nods and walks outside as he follows.

Spike then looked at them leave and smiled.

"Did he even noticed his cutie mark? " said rarity. Twilight shaked her head,knowing he hasnt.

"We are safe. We should go now. We don't want him to spoil his surprise party. " Spike said as he walked out to the castle. The rest followed except twilight, whom stayed inside thinking .

"Who would have send the letter ... " she asked to herself ,then she walked out.

"Fluttershy?"

Centreus has been attacked by cute little animals and held in an embrace he couldn't even move. Fluttershy looked through the mirror and giggled as she flew back to the castle.

He sighs. "flutters.... please... help... at least it's warm and comfy... she... she will come soon... " he yawned. He was fully immobilized by the animals or even be seen. The only parts that could be seen was his nose and his tail. The rest was from snow white to dark black (I dont say...)

"I... will get... my revenge... flutters... zzzzzzzz" he fell asleep after a while of talking to himself... he was going to get a cupcake for a filly but it seems it would be the next day. he will sure make his revenge but not that ...annoying... like a bucket full of paint. A simple water ice bucket prank will be enough... or more than enough...

"This will be awesome for waking up centreus !"rainbow whispered.

"Shhh .if we wake him up, the prank will fail."pinkie said. Fluttershy had a  paint bucket , holding it over the outer side of the door..

"I never though you had this idea, flutters. Honestly I didn't know you planked at all." Admitted rarity, holding the ice cold water bucket over centreus. (Coinsidence?)

"You learn alot from friends like you." She snorted.

Rarity then proceeded to throw the water over centreus, whom woke up startled , screaming and trying to back up .

He was shivering as he was taking a mental note on who prank first, if fluttershy or rarity.

"Wake up sleepy head " pinkie said as she hopped out. The rest followed as twilight gave him a towel for him to dry. He just shaked his head and chuckled.

He then dried and went out. Worse idea. The mane six were looking at him as he went out . Twilight has a camera. He then though 'what is she doing with a camera. ' he was about to ask something to twilight but...

"Splash!"

"Flash!"

He was full in pink paint as he looked up, as he saw fluttershy waving. 'Nope. I think that a bucket full of paint wasn't enough for one prank to flutters. Or even a little. Maybe I should ask pinkie or rainbow how to make the perfect prank for her.'

"I will be watching you flutters..." he said. She giggled and landed besides the girls, who were laughing on the floor.

"Now I have to take a bath. " he walked to the bathroom as flutters saw the paint bucket.

"Uh... "

"What's wrong flutterhy?"  Rainbow asked. Fluttershy took the bucket and showed it to rainbow.

"Oh oh... centreus isn't going to like this... "

"I told you to get the normal paint... rainbow"

"THIS PAINT DOES NOT COME OFF!"

"We are busted. " twilight said after centreus shouted.

"rainbow... don't laugh" rarity said.

"I can resist.. it " she said laughing on the floor .

" 'ahm going to get the paint the next time. " apple jack stated .

After a while , centreus comes out with his coat all pink, grumpy, wet,  and with his scar glowing quite bright.

"I hope I can get a COAT paint remover... Who bought the coat paint ..." he said. All of them pointed at rainbow as she looked at her friends.

"I... I need to go, to do something for ... the wonderbolt! Bai! "She zoomed out of the castle as centreus ran behind and below.

"How did she even got that paint?" Pinkie asked.

"Maybe a new scientist that wanted to change his or her coat color..."Twilight said, walking down the hallway. Rarity looked at twilight suspiciously as twilight pushed a paint can inside a closet with her back leg.

"It isnt me. i swear."

"I'm sorry centreus for the paint accident...I didn't read the title of the paint. . "

Rainbow has been on a cloud as centreus was below shouting at her to come down. It has been almost 20 minutes since centreus persecuted rainbow.

"I dont think an I'm sorry will be enough, rainbow! This is embarrassing ! "He then growled at her as a pegasus walked to his side looking up.

"Centreus?" The pegasus asked.

Centreus looked at the mare besides him

"Lucy? What are you doing here. I though you wer-"

"I know . I just came here to ... talk a little with you. "she said.

"Ok. I hope is fast because i  need help with... your alicorn stuff."

"Oh... how... there's no place that is highly advanced to do it. "At this time, centreus anger has faded away and replaced with sadness as he sits and looks down.. Rainbow flies down and lands next to him.

"Well... there's a place that can give you back your horn, although not your wings, and is because ...my brother just messed them up, but I can still get you some... cyber ones, same for your eye. "

Centreus then stopped and he looked like a statue, due he was not moving or blinking.

"Home... they were already making cyber stuff... when I left... do you mean we..."

"Yep. We are going there."

CentreuS then looked at lucy

"But when. "

"Tonight. There's a train from slomovania to pick us up. Yep I ordered it too."

Without hearing another word from lucy, he ran toward the castle at high speed. Lucy and rainbow were left both amazed by his running speed and confused. Why would he be very excited about going to slomovania?

"Omgomgomgomg I'm going to slomovania! "

"Calm down centreus. "

Applejack was trying to calm down centreus excitement. He was so happy that he forgot about his coat color. A pink coated stallion? Pfft

"Uh... excuse me... pink stallion?" A little foal asked. His excitement subsided as he looked at the foal. Everything was going so well until the foal remembered him his coat. Who could blame a kid's innocence? I wouldn't.

"Yeah?" Centreus said, smiling a little

"Why is your coat pink? It is supposed that pink is for fillies."

"not exactly is for fillies. But it isn't seen on stallions or foals mainly , and to answer your question, let's say a certain mare threw me a pink coat paint. I'm supposed to be blue. Like-"

"Are you centaurus ? I heard so much good from you from my school friends"

Rainbow started laughing as the foal looked at her.

"Don't mind her. My name is centreus by the way, and that's good. " centreus rubbed the little foal head as the cute foal giggled.

"Yeah. What do your cutie mark means?" The foal asked.

"My cutie mark ? I don't have o-" centreus didn't finished as he saw his cutie mark. It was a shield and around it were Red and blue flames . Over the shield were two swords ,in an 'x' style.

"Twilight... why you didn't told me about my cutie mark?" He asked.

"I though you already knew."

"Since when I have it?"

"Since you got out of the hospital... a Month ago..."

"Well thanks for telling me ..." he grunted. He turned to the little foal "well... I think is for saving the princesses from a bad guy."

"So you are like a hero?"

"Well... I dont really call myself a hero... I just say i helped to defeat a bad guy..." the foal then smiled and seated besides his mother.

"Rainbow ...stop it." Twilight said to rainbow.

"I'm just embarrassing myself by going out like this... " centreus said. "I hope this train can go faster."

"Well... in the ponyville train you have to stay inside the train for 3 or four days, if we don't stop. In this one, 12 hours. " lucy said. Rainbow had stopped laughing and looked at lucy.

"How fast this train is going right now? "She asked.

"Well... we already broke the sound barrier so like a 1000 miles per hour or more." Lucy answered

"Good. I want to arrive as fast as we can because I need my blue coat back."

After a couple hours, night time has fallen over as the train kept running at dark. all of them were fast asleep except for centreus, whom looked out the window.

He sighed "home.... I wonder what happened " he closed his eyes and looked away. It was dark in the cabin they were so he didn't saw lucy walking to him.

"I'm sorry , centreus... for... you know..." she said. He looked at her and shaked his head.

"Is ok. I suppose ryan wanted me dead somehow... that makes me think it was him that killed-"

"Yes it was him. He made me hide the truth from everypony. He surely hated you for something you did to him . He never told me anything but that you took all of his popularity at school."

"A shitty reason to kill me if you ask me. " he lowers his ears.

"maybe we can take that off our minds and smile at the dark shadow following besides the train... " she said normally, but her eyes narrowed as she saw it again.

The shadow had a form of an alicorn a little taller than normal ponies, like centreus. All centreus could see was that it looked like him, but different. The shadow came closer as his coat was seen: a black coat , his hooves had claws just like centreus. His man's matching centreus but it's colors were like a dark purple. After that, it flew to the front of the train. Centreus shivered a little.

"I have a bad feeling about t-" before he could keep talking, the front part of the train went off the tracks , causing it to stop abruptly. Centreus and lucy fell to the front part of their cabin. The ponies sleeping woke up startled as some of them fell to the floor.

"This... " centreus concluded. The little foal was looking out the window.

" Why is centreus outside?" He asked.

" that's not me. " centreus said, standing up. He knew exactly what it was and he ran out and to the front part of the train. Lucy followed worried.

There were screams of pain as well ,punching. Centreus ran faster. The shadow saw centreus as he saw the shadow, as well the train engineers injured and scared. Both stared each other. For the luck of centreus, the shadow had his wings and horn, showing the rest that he could easily defeat centreus. Centreus didn't thought like that, he though that he could get enough time to get the train on the rail and going.

"Centreus... " the shadow said.

Centreus took his saddlebag off and gave it to lucy. The shadow's horn glowed as two sword appeared. Each had dark magic surrounding it's blades. Centreus took a sword, very alike from his opponent, but instead from dark magic, fire. Red and blue to be exact.

"You are mine now" the shadow said. Centreus got between him and the train managers, who where trying to put back the train on the tracks. twilight and rarity ran to help them . The front cabin was heavy enough to need like 10 unicorns. Having twilight ,they started levitating the train to its tracks while centreus fought with the ghost. Who would know? Twilight saw that they both looked the same . After a while ,the train got on its tracks again as they got inside except for centreus ,obviously.

"Get in centreus! " centreus looked at twilight . Nope. The shadow grabbed him and threw him into the dark forest . Twilight saw what happened as the train departed. He shouted for centreus but nothing. Spike was crying thinking why again. He heard the leaves, winds,and something else?

"Twilight?" Applejack asked. "'Ah hope you heard that. "

A sword was then stabbed from the top of the train. Twilight jumped startled as she saw the sword. She sighed in relief, knowing it was centreus's sword. They heard then an explosion ,meaning they already broke the sound barrier once again. Twilight's eyes narrowed as she though of the worse until he saw centreus head peek from the window.

"Not going to die again. " he chuckled. He took his sword from the roof and threw it inside, but he didn't came inside. Hoofsteps were heard on the top as there was a loud punch given to the train. After that, magic blasts . You could see there was magic used by the light from it. Centreus grabbed the pony and threw him off the train. He was about to get in as he saw the pony running besides the train.

"You motherfucker." Centreus cursed. He knew that that pony could run faster than anything in equestria, due to be himself but... more powerful. He growled at it , scar glowing bright. He , somehow, managed to blast the running pony with magic. The pony was sent to the forest as centreus stared at it. He though that twilight had came over the train and shoot the pony. He turned around to see nothing but the sea. Confused he poked this scar, only to get burned.

"Ow." He yanked his hoof away from the scar , concluding that his scar did it. He seated on the rooF panting. He didn't had any bruises , or any cuts, although the shadow had punched him a couple times and did some cuts . He then looked at his hoof and made a little cut. Magic flowed through the cut as it closed itself.

"Magic. " He said to himself. He calmed himself down as his scar stopped glowing. He raised his head to look up and closed his eyes, mane flowing with the wind. Relaxing right? It would be a shame if a tunel or a sign hit him, true?

"Centreus... I think you should come down from there." Spike shouted. He looked at a sign he was about to get smacked. He didn't lost any time as he climbed down from the roof and entered trough the window, almost falling. Twilight took his hoof as he looked down at the river. She pulled him inside .

"WERE YOU CRAZY!?!? WHY WOULD YOU SIT UP THERE SO RELAXED WHEN THERE IS SOMEPONY THAT WANTS TO HARM YOU! YOU COULD HAD DIED!!! "Twilight shouted .

"But I didn't, and just be thankful that I'm here." He answered.

"YEAH... BHT STILL .... YOU ARE CRAZY TO GO UP THERE WITH NO WINGS OR HORN!! WHAT WOULD HAD HAPPENED TO YOU IF YOU FELL!?!? "

"Twilight. Calm down. I know I don't have my wings and horn, but I swear that you couldn't do it , knowing he has more magic than you."

"HOW CAN YOU BE SURE!?" She was rageshifting, showing she was pretty angry. Her friends backed up scared but centreus got closer to her.

"Because I have more than you, I think. and , knowing he is myself ... but more powerful and evil." When she stopped her rageshift, lucy walked to him .

"isn't that the sp-" she got interrupted by centreus, who nodded.

"A spell?" Twilight asked.

"I will tell you after we get to my house, if it's still ok..." he sighed.

Centreus looked away as he walked also away. He looked around . Thinking of the old slomovania he knew, this was far from it. These houses were more advanced than anything or anywhere in equestria . There was a sign made from neón lights telling 'welcome to slomovania ' in blue. Centreus walked to a street and looked around until he stopped in front of a old, dusty wood house.

The rest stopped too and looked at it.

"Who... would ....live in this... ugly dusty and stupid house?! " rainbow said, making centreus flinch and lower his ears.

"Rainbow... t-" lucy went to say

"seriously ,who would live in that!?"

"Rainbow..."

"Who could even sleep in that thing, knowinh it isnt safe fo-"

"RAINBOW!!!!" They all shouted.

"What?!"

"Just shut up and look." Lucy demanded. Centreus was walking to the front part of the house and saw a chair, so small even for a normal sized filly. He rubbed the chair a little, showing a bright blue. He looked around the floor as he took sight of a cerberus plush. He grabbed it and brushed a little its dust. It had a tag with 'cerby' on it.

"Home" he murmured. Rainbow landed and looked quite ashamed. she flew away, after twilight told her something.

"It... can't be..." he could feel a tear running on his cheek. "It has been so long " he touched the door As he tried to push it but wont budge, he needed a key to open it. He looked at his claws and raised one of it, inserting it through the side of the door. Skmehow, the claw glowed as he slided it down . He was melting the lock. The mares and spike went behind him as he pushed his door open.

"m..my house... " his smile widened as he troted around the house. The rest entered quite slow and careful.

"still the way it was since i left. .. how... this remained on stand... "

"I can sense a bit of majic here... " twilight admitted. "But is pretty ancient. Like... "

"the spell... that explains everything . he talked about a strange and powerful spell that he wanted to try out. i can understand now which spell. " centreus answered.

"He? Whos he?" Pinkie asked.

"He. My father. i studied some ancients spell in the castle library and found it. Its like a bond spell, it bonds anypony to the item they wanted to bond with. everypony in the family had to be in said bond. if ...everypony shared a bond with a house, like my dad did, al the family will be bonded automatically, like my father did. If all family members died, it would fall apart . but ...for example, theres a 10 members family and 9 died, it will stay standing even if theres one member alive " centreus finished explaining, but then he looked away. "Just like mine..."

twilight coughed a little , getting centreus attention.

"Well... I have a little curiosity about your family, can you show us?" she asked.

"Well... you need to look at the pictures because i need to do something first. ... im hungry and that the food inside the fridge is long expired. and im sure That you will be getting hungry soon. "He said, walking out. twilight looked at the picture frames but the picture couldnt be seen.  Only dust, dust and a lot more dust.

"this place needs a clean up" lucy said, taking a couple cleaning brushes out from a closet.

after a couple hours, centreus is walking back to the house with a lot of bags he managed to grab in his mouth, in turn to have a painful muzzle. He couldnt help but whimper quietly . he forgot about the coat paint remover Too .

He Pushes the door open, knowing he melted the lock and bought a new one. To his surprise, his house was sparkling clean. his jaw defied physics and fell to the floor, everything on his mouth falling.

"w....wow..." he looked around, closed the door and put everything in the bag away. He then walked through the long hallway. His gaze laid upon a still dusty picture And saw a couple pictures also dusty.

"Girls? Im back!" Centreus shouted. He then heard a couple hoofsteps...
