Now I’m not going to give my name at the moment, I feel that’s for my story to tell. It all started when I went to my first, and only, con I was dressed as the character Foxy from Five Nights at Freddy’s. Looking back the costume was laughably bad, the fur was made from strips of cloth pasted onto a paper mache shell, so when I reached the vendor’s hall I decided to go hunting for some better props.

I found a particularly interesting shop in a back corner with high drapes for walls that extended around it on all sides. How they managed to get it approved in a crowded convention hall I’ll never know, but that didn’t matter because as soon as I stepped through the curtain I found myself in a costume wearing nerd’s wet dream. The shop was packed full of tables and shelves and every conceivable surface, horizontal or not, was littered with items.

Sepheroth’s katana hung from one wall, Dante’s pistol sat on top of Kratos’s blades. There was even a Big Daddy helmet under one of the tables. What really caught my eye was the pirate hook. I stared at it for a while before this guy in a creepy cloak comes over and starts asking me if I want to buy it. Thinking how my costume could use some work I asked “How much for the hook?”

“For you stranger? Twenty dollars.” Twenty dollars. With a price like that it was a steal. I didn’t argue and handed the money over without hesitation. I reached out and picked up the hook in my right hand. Everything went blank and suddenly I’m in pain, lots of pain, mostly in my right hand.

Birds sang over head as I slowly came to. I was unsure of what happened, but I felt different, powerful, and had a longing for the open sea. And I couldn’t really remember much besides pain and feeling like my right hand had been chopped off. Bringing my right arm up to see if my hand was alright the next thing I see is a hook, the type you see in a butcher shop for meat, and I stared at it in shock. I had a feeling that it was not right, but my mind felt as if it was a ship in hurricane. I was like that for a few minutes before decided there was nothing to do for it and decided to what I looked like, being unsure of what i was.

I slowly sat up to look at myself and noticed I looked like something right out of a horror film. Decayed costuming cover most a metal endoskeleton, red fur, and turning i noticed my tail looked like it had been skinned, nothing left but a metal skeleton with a little bit red fur on the end. I looked around for something reflective so I could look at my face and found a puddle about as big a wheel. Standing up on legs that looked like they belong to an animal, both were bare of any fur or costuming I walked over to it and looked down. The vestige that greeted me would make anyone want to run in terror at the mere sight of it. Most of my fox like snout was torn away, and my eyes seemed to glow a hellish red, my fur costuming covering most of my head. A metal tongue snaked through a maw of razor sharp teeth that looked ready to tear through flesh and bone. Looking at my other hand I saw fingers tipped with claws. All in all, I looked like a fox and if someone was looking at me, I think they would suspect I was going to kill them.

“Huh, well I should looked for some place to stay the night right now…. Speaking of which, where am I?” I said in a voice that sound like radio static combined with the joyful voice a small child, something I’m sure would disturb many. Looking around and noticed the numerous trees around me. “So a forest…great, just my luck, I wonder if I get a cell single.”

I looked for my phone but found that all I was wearing were a pair of torn brown shorts and little else. Cursing my luck, looked around for a sign of where to go, and upon finding none picked a random direction to walk. With nothing better to do beside hearing my metal feet clank against the soft grass covered ground and whirring of loud servos as I moved, I started going over a nice fish recipe I been learning from a class I had been going to before...something happened. It was one more suited for a sailor at sea with the amount of citrus in it to prevent scurvy. I always loved fish, and steak, and chicken…well meat in general. Could I still eat if I was made of metal and what ever my costume was made from? By the smell of the trees, which had a weird scent I could smell without a nose, so why couldn’t I taste stuff with a metal tongue.

I wasn’t paying much attention to my green leafy surroundings when I bumped into a blue horse a purple spot on it’s butt and white spot on that. It screamed in a language I didn’t understand and I, being the scary metal, red furred, fox with a hook for a right hand, just stood there dumbly as it started to yell to a white horse with a orange and yellow spot on its butt and they started looking at me angrily after a small exchange. And it was then I noticed both had horns and wings and hand some sort of jewelry on and that jewelry was glowing bright rainbow colors, did I mention I was not all there at the time.

Anyways, the two horses shoot this rainbow beam at me, but before it could hit me I’m rescued by this chimera of a being whom is also speaking in a language I don’t understand. It stops talking to snap it fingers I see a bright flash, then it starts talking again.

“Hello there, I’m Discord, the God of Chaos.” The Chimera said. “And you my frightening friend seem to have already met the order loving pony princesses. What’s your name good/bad sir?”

It/he seemed to be addressing me, which was nice as it didn’t seem hostile like the other two.

“Um, don’t know. Everything’s kind of fuzzy at that moment. I think I’m missing my right hand, but I have my hook right here. And I don’t know where my phone is. Do you have one i can use?” I said seeing Discord shiver at the sound of my voice.

“My, my, aren’t you just fit for Tartarus.” Discord said as he snapped his finger again summoned some chair. “Look, how’s about I look into your head and see if I can clear thing up, no?”

“Sure,” I say as Discord puts his claw and paw on my head. I feel something shift in my mind and the feeling of power being unlocked somewhere deep within it. My mind clears and I feel like I could run for miles and never tire. “Oh, that is much better.” An echo slipping into my radio static as the child’s voice seemed to become stronger.

“Well, my Friend, do I have a name I can call you by?” Discord asked a sinister grin forming on his face.

“Foxy, Foxy the Pirate, and is there anything I could do to help you.” I relied as the sudden urge to warp the minds of the unsuspecting with nightmares and madness flowed into my mind.

“Well, Mr. Pirate, why not help me spread chaos, you on the water and me on land.” He said holding out his hand.

“Pirates are at home on land and sea, but sure, I would like to see what I can do. And pillaging a town for gold would be fun.” I said as I sat up and took his hand. It was then I noticed he could fly and tried the same, but ended up falling straight on my face. “Crap, I can’t fly.”

“Well, I can fly you around, my friend.” Discord said with smile.

And so my great adventure with my first mate Discord began. We spent years spreading chaos as I massed a horde of gold even Black beard would be proud of. Discord caused his own brand of chaos, warping the world to his will, and I used my power of warping the mindscape to make ponies believe that their towns were being boarding by a pirate ship and they tried to defend their vessel form the invaders, but they always lost, or they were drowning, but that was only in the beginning, soon I began messing with their sense of time and more, but soon the pony princesses caught up with us.

Discord sat on his throne of granite while I sat on my pile of gold and played poker as the princesses accused us of our crimes to pony kind. Like I cared, I was Foxy the Pirate, breaking the law was kind of in my job description.

“Will you two shoo before I gouge your eyes out, I’m about to win this game and then I’ll get the jewels in his throne.” I said to them.

“Fat chance, Foxy.” Discord replied.

The two horses began to glow.

“Didn’t I say sh…” Before I could finish we were hit with a rainbow beam of light and turned to stone.

And so there I was with Discord as a stone statue, in a garden forever in the position of playing cards. Discord and I can talk to each other, but we have both recently run out of thing to do and are pretty much screaming in agony now. Which was starting to get boring too if you ask me.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH……..Hey is that a school group?” Discord says as he sees something behind me.

“I can’t tell.” I say annoyed that I’m not facing the path. It can get frustrating when your first mate see’s things happen more than you can.

“Well it looks like it.” He replied with mirth, “Oh, and they’re fighting over who’s scarier, me or you. Ha, if only they could see your face. And…”

And then we heard it, “Crack”. I looked to my first mate and say the first signs of freedom in very long time. The webbing started to grow more and more till the fillies ran off as they hear my laughter start. I mean, the laugh of a filly admits the hellish static echoing out of a statute is something most piss themselves at, so it was reasonable they ran. And just in time as both Discord and I broke free.

“Ah, my servos can finally move again. Hey Discord, think the Fat one knows we’re free yet.” I ask.

“No, not yet, why, do you have a plan captain?” Discord said with a smirk.

“You get the elements and we split them, you can decide where your half goes, but use facts for the ones missing.” I say using my magic to create my lost captain’s hat. “That way they don’t suspect a thing. See as my rib cage can carry them, which is where I’ll hide mine.”

“Sounds good. I’ll get right one it.” Discord said disappearing.

I got this feeling I couldn’t trust the chimera, always did, even in our first meeting, but he follows orders well. At any rate I blind ponies from seeing me as I walked through the halls looking for the vaults which held powerful and dangerous magical artifacts. I found them eventually having avoided the guards with my spell, and ripped open the one where I felt my sword was being kept in. A little item I hid from Discord as it drains magic and redirects to its wielder, something I thought would be useful to on hand should I encounter a foe two powerful or on an even playing field as myself. All ways have a way to surprise the enemy was my moto. It was useful on powerful unicorns and if that sea dog tried to mutiny he’d walk the plank with a few swipes of this sword. It was a black blade with a silver hilt and dragon hide leather for a grip and diamond for the palm, a sword that spoke of black days to come.

I grab the sword as I heard Discord finish with the ponies and left to start his games. He was too soft on them. Truly, I knew giving the same mercy as we did in the past would not due, for it was what trapped us in the first place, at least until I could find a place away from them.

If these ponies could capture us again, then that would be that. I could not let that happen. I didn’t plan on being soft on them this time around.

I stood in the throne room with Celestia as she paced around the room. The white horse was wearing the marble down with her pacing. Her stress was something I could work with. I poked into her head and started shifting things out of sight. Trying to make my desired result come forth, and once it was done I just needed an unwitting victim. The white Stallion in purple guard armor should do.

I change my appearance to that of another guard for all to see, and ‘ran’ into the room yelling of Nightmare Moon return and how she had killed all in Ponyville with a meteor. And as planned the fat white horse believed with was a year ago. Oh how easy it was to change a ponies sense of time with a few simple changes. Soon the white stallion came over asking me what I’m talking about, and that Luna would never do that. Celestia begins crying as my changes to her mind prevent her from feeling the sun, and when she looked out the window to the direction of Ponyville she see smoke and a crater.

“Sister, how could you…I didn’t think you would. Oh no, Twilight, no, no, no…..”Celestia says as her mind begins filling in a few things I didn’t know.

“Princess, Twilights, fine. Your Sister isn’t Nightmare Moon anymore.” The white stallion said stepping into her sight. Which then made the white horse angry as she only saw her what she now believed was murderous Sister.

“YOU, HOW COULD YOU! ALL OF THOSE PONIES, I THOUGHT YOU WANT TO BE LOVED, YET YOU KILL THEM INSTEAD!” She yelled in the Royal Canterlot Voice. She then blasted the stallion with a beam of magic so powerful that I roasted a hotdog on it. The stallion fell limp the floor still breathing, though barely, and the dumb alicorn began attack her other guard believing their minions of her sister. Celestia beats a Guard Pony to near death with her bare hooves, blood staining her coat, I made it so that she couldn’t really kill them. Let them remind her every day what she had done to them. Besides, I hated death if it was avoidable, though I believed a traitor deserved death, no matter how small the act.

I remove my handy work and let the white, fat horse sees what she has done and she began to weep. I just love a job well done as walk into view looking like guards pony holding a cockatrice in and shoved it into her face and she didn’t even bother moving as she turned to stone repeating apologies to her little ponies. Before head was gone I changed back and waved goodbye to her. I’m such a nice guy that way.

After snapping the bird's neck, I alter the mind of the guards so they think they petrified they’re princesses for the greater good. Better to keep my tracks covered. Besides she went nuts and started using them as punching bags what else could they do besides subduing her. Walking over to another guard I telling him exactly that, and ask him to get Luna. After that I walk back into the throne room next to the white horse statue.

Luna walked in quickly as I hoped and before she uttered a word I attacked, altering her mind and bringing forth the fearsome Nightmare. I made it to where the Mare in the moon would wander the world and both she and Luna would watch as the world died and they couldn’t attack me all the while. Probably not what Discord had in mind for what we would do together, but I don’t want to take chances with either sister. And by the look of the moon being stuck in the sky I’d say my plan is working. Besides I always preferred the night over the day.

“Ah, what a night to be large and in change, wonder if Discord is done with all those ponies?” I say as I disappear in shadow one of the pillars.

Discord was on his throne and the ponies, minus one, plus a dragon were walking up, as I strolled out from behind the thorn. I can’t float or fly, but suddenly walking out from behind a throne was good enough for me. I would like to float or fly like my first mate but oh well. The ponies gasp at the site of me and the dragon faints. My is he a weak one and was suppose replace the element of loyalty, unlikely.

“Oh, did I frighten you; I’m even so sorry, name Foxy the pirate! Do you want to go on a pirate adventure?” I say to them all before whisking Kindness, Generosity, and Honesty with me. I turn them back to normal and put us on a boat at sea, and make myself look a little cleaner. “Ok, my sea hardy crew, we need to attack and kill every last one of these bastards before they do it us.”

“WHAT,” They all say in confusion, as I come up puppets. Something I love is my puppets; I can make so many tales play out with them. And today my puppets will play the helpless crew.

“But, killing is…its wro….”

“First Mate, Fluttershy, these ponies, want us dead and at the bottom of the ocean, do you really want to let them do that, to kill, your friends.” I say as change her view of time and move the other mares into place were only I could see and hear and replace them with dummies. Then I let the dummies get killed as the yellow mare with the pink mane started off in horror. For day the scene replayed, Equestria navy killing her friend over and over till, she tried to fight back and even then she failed. Eventually she turned into a hardy and loyal swords pony ready to kill at a moment’s notice. While she could be kind, she was loyal to me.

The two mares I release start comforting their friend, but she doesn’t take comfort until I say she can stand down, to which she starts to cry and hug her friend saying how much she was thankful they were alive. Then the white turn to me with anger.

“HOW COULD YOU DO THAT? Fluttershy didn’t deserve…” She stopped as I held up a hand, and zipped her mouth shut.

“I did it to toughen her up,” I explained. “I have a grudge against Celestia and Luna and that’s been dealt with. I don’t trust Discord and wish some back up. The weakest link in your group was her, just looking at me she pissed herself when I returned her to normal. And I could have done worst. I took you two because of a plan I have with discord. Unfortunately that mean I need to make the three of you as mad as a pack of hens being chased by a fox, and so soon after training the perfect swordmare. Though, this will keep you from using the elements.” I say before doing just that, keeping instruction in Fluttershy’s head on how to use my sword and when to do so.

“Now to see if my friend Discord likes my brand of chaos, or if my supposition is right.” I say before returning to fluttershy’s cottage and wait for my first mate. and waited for my first mate

As he flew in, god I wish I could do that, to be able to fly would be amazing. Anyway he began to ask me what I did to the elements and just as I thought he mutinied against me so I snap my fingers and as he suspected a magical attack he was hit with sword, via Fluttershy. She then kept attack till the palm was full and dropped the sword and I took it absorbing the power in side.

“You think you’ve won?” Discord asked.

“No, you’re still breathing, plus Tartarus is still closed and the sun’s still up. “ I say walking up. “Did you think I wouldn’t notice all those looks you gave me? You don’t have a good poker face you know. I mean I’ve seen if for a thousand years, so I should k….” I block a magical blast with my sword and take the last of his power. “As I said, Bad. Poker. Face. Now, I’m going to eat you, K.” as I took everything that Discord was into me.

And so ended my adventure with my First Mate ended.

To be Continued.
