Rise of The Villains
Chapter One: Rise of The Moon
Load Full StoryNext ChapterEverything was different now. I was on my bed looking to the ceiling and throwing ball and waiting it to come back to me. The things I have been through, we have been through and worst of all Ponyville have been through... Hoping to be safe and sound I need to care and protect my little cousin and her friends... Expectations and hope... They were just getting less and less. We lost many ponies. Princess Cadance, Shining Armor are slaves in Queen Chrysalis right now. Griffons become mercanary. They get paid by Nightmare Moon! Celestia ran away her magic is absorbed by Tirek. Princess Luna became Nightmare Moon because Discord changed her. That is all i know. I need to continue and protect my fillies. I am not a "savior" or something. Just being safe and protected is my hope. Somebody poked me and said:
Somebody: Wake up!
That was funny. I have no comfort to sleep. There is chaos outside there and they expect me to sleep? That can not happen. I turned around and saw a dark silhouette.
Dark Silhouette: Oh sorry, let me open the lights.
The dark shade opened the light. It was Half Baked Apple.
Me: What is it cousin? Did they return?
A little worried he nodded. A sudden crash and screaming heard!
Me: Sweetie Belle! I need to save her!
He was holding me so tight! I could not move. Let me go! Let me go! I was shouting so hard and my voice was aching than my cousin closed my mouth with his hand and laughed.
Half Baked Apple: You think you can hide from our queen?
Me: Let me go! What are you doing Half Baked Apple? Ugh!
I bit him and kicked him with my back two legs. I rushed to their room. They were... GONE!?!? I was so angry and I decided to take my anger and revenge from my cousin. I rushed the room. He was laying on the floor in blood. I was shocked and could not move! I poked him but no response. I decided to check him. He was not breathing and his heart was not beating. I killed my cousin? What have i done? I am a murderer. Than a flash occured and instead of Half Baked Apple there was a changeling laying on the floor. That made me happy and sad both. Because this means I didn't kill my cousin, yet they are gone! I need to find them! This must be Queen Chrysalis' job! Suddenly I heard a door cracking.
It was my real cousin Half Baked Apple! I hugged him! He blushed.
Me: I am sorry, cousin. I lost them.
Tears were exploding from my eyes. Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo are gone. And it was all because of me. I just wanted to close my eyes and wake up in an utopian place with my friends and family.
Half Baked Apple: It is ok. It is not your fault, mine. I just went out to get some woods to warm our house but completely forgot to keep an eye on you. Your leg... It is bleeding. Let me get a bandage for you.
Me: Uh huh.
Though his words, I feel guilty. How didn't I hear the voices? Maybe they were so quiet and fast. He returned and start to cover my leg with the bandage. I thanked him and he smiled. I guess he understood my worries.
Half Baked Apple: Past is in the past. You can not change it but you can change the future.
I smiled at him. He was so supportive and friendly. He is my best cousin friend. He protects me and saved my life twice from both Griffons and Changelings. I stood up. My leg was aching but I could handle it.
Me: Pack up cousin! We have a trip to make!
He came from another room and gave me a coke. "This will cheer you up!" he said and winked. He started packing things and in an hour we got everything. While he was packing I was trying to clear and delete the trails. With my stable moves I was about to leave from the house but I suddenly stopped. Unaware of not knowing how to reach The Crystal Empire.
Half Baked Apple: You ok?
Me: I just dont know where to go...
Half Baked Apple: I got a map.
After some efforts and search in his bag he said "Oh, I put it in Apple Bloom's bagpack, I remember!". he said.
Me: Which means?
Half Baked Apple: It is gone.
I was sitting hopelessly and about to cry. Now I will never see them. I lost them like the rest. All of our results will be like that? I was sad sitting hopelessly. I looked at him. He said "I got it!".
Me: What?
Half Baked Apple: Train Station, Candy Apples! There must be a map over there! Let's Go!
I got a serious look and said:
"Yes! Let's go! The moon is rising!"
It was getting darker and darker. Which makes the place less visable and trustable.
Me: Ugh, Half Baked Apple?
Half Baked Apple: Yes, cousin?
Me: Do you mind if i light a torch?
Half Baked Apple: I dont but guardians may.
Me: Guardians?
Half Baked Apple: They are the helper of Nightmare Moon. When you see them, you run. Wait, no. Let's hope we dont see one of them.
Me: What can they do to us?
Half Baked Apple: Nothing...
I got relaxed and my worries all gone.
Half Baked Apple: Unless Princess orders.
Me: Luna?
Half Baked Apple: Yes, Nightmare Moon let me correct. She is evil and she has her eyes on Everfree Forest and oh guess what? It is a coincidence that we are in Everfree Forest! Yay!
Forget about relaxation!
Me: Thanks, cousin. You helped a lot!
I rolled my eyes and he started to laugh.
Half Baked Apple: Don't worry! They can never touch you because if they want to they need to pass me first!
The reason that I was feeling warm and safe was maybe because of him? He makes me happy, safe and he supports and helps me. I just want to hug him and whisper to his ear "Thank you! Thank you for always being with me since we were fillies!" Suddenly I got away from my dream because he was trying to show me something by pointing his hoof.
Half Baked Apple: Hey! You see that cottage over there? Let's go?
Me: Hey let's get seperated. You knock the door and i will look from the windows if there is any danger here.
I saw him nodding and I rushed behind the cottage. While I was looking from the back window, I heard him knocking the door. Nothing or no one was here. Than a black pony appearad. I blinked twice. It was not a pony! It was a... CHANGELING! It changed herself a yellow maned pony. What should i do? I need to save my cousin... But... How?
Half Baked Apple: Oh, hello! Sorry for bothering but I need your help. Have you seen any fillies that is captured by changelings?
The Yellow Mare: Oh...? I mean... YES! Yes dearie, I saw them. They were taken by.... Changelings. Yes! YES, changelings. Come on in and let me tell you the rest.
Half Baked Apple: Thank ya' for such a warm welcome.
They were both inside. I can not rush to the door and break it. It can be a waste of time and probably I won't have that much time! Window! Yes I need to break the window.
Half Baked Apple: What a lovely place and good decoration. Uhm... Something smell delicious.
The Yellow Mare: Like you, dearie.
The Yellow Mare turned back to a changeling and my cousin was shocked and could not move. Than "CRASH!". I broke the door and kicked the changeling and sticked the knife into its heart. The changeling died. I looked at him and smiled and said: "I saved you!"
Half Baked Apple: What have you done? Are you crazy?
Me: WHAT!?!? Sorry, if I helped you to survive. It was a changeling and you didn't know.
Half Baked Apple: I knew it! I saw it from the window. But I waited to tie it so that we can learn what happened to the fillies and our friends!
I was shocked. I didn't know that.... I was so sorry. I was looking him to say me something. If he wants to get mad or not to talk, it is ok... It will hurt probably but I need to bare it.
Half Baked Apple: *Sigh*. I know you weren't, you were just trying to be nice.
Me: Am sorry. I just want you to be safe. I don't want to lose you. You are the only thing I have, here , with me and I...
Half Baked Apple: You, what?
Me: Nevermind, lets hide this thing so that no pony can see.
Half Baked Apple: Candy Apples, they wont look here but in case i will hide it. Do you remember what we promised eachother when we were fillies? We won't hide anything from eachother. Still, you haven't replied my question. You, what?
I took a deep breath and didn't mind the trembling of my legs and said:
"Half Baked Apple, I... I LOVE YOU!"
