Fallout Equestria: Freedom of the lost souls.

You would never think of being in a sewer in a cage held by insane creature's of the waste. Even creature's that kidnap others and remove parts of their bodies. Then sew them on themselves. It's something you would never hear of. Seeker seems to already be awake and it seems she is looking around in the cage with Crystal.  It seems they kept the cage's together because we showed up together. Seeker just looked around with her one good eye staring at the empty room's. The rest slowly started to wake as their weapons were taken away. But everything else was still there like their food and healing supplies. Crystal  was the last one to wake up and she slowly woke up and looked around.

" What the fuck is going on here?''

She looks over to Seeker who is just staring and then at the others. Everyone seemed fine for the moment but at the moment freaked out. Kipper had tear's in her eyes and sighed.

" They killed a friend of mine..and now are wearing his face....that's just sick."

Kipper looked down calmly and it seems we are alone here for awhile so..We did what we did best talk.

" Seeker what do you make of this?"

Seeker looked over to all of us and smiled.

" All I can say... Is their looks and their aura is very off. But I don't see past that..I don't see them. I don't see them at all."

The others looked at each other and blinked. Crystal  didn't understand that at all and sighed. Crystal  just sat there calmly while Cree tried to get out but the locks seem to send back a nasty charge. He looked and noticed wire's connected to the lock and going into a generator that seems to be working. They notice the cells are rubber and these cell's don't seem to be the same thing that had the other creature's in.

" It seems they wish us to Seek them and learn of them by Seeking. Oh so lovely to learn about new things yes."

Seeker said with a large smile on her face. The others just staring at her like she is crazy. There is no sound and then there is the sound of a Zebra trying to run and run's into our room and hides. Crystal  gets close to the bar's.

" Hey hey try to help us."

The Zebra turned to look at eyes scared to death. The Zebra was pretty young he shook his head and then rushed out. With the miss-matched creature's chasing after him and one of the creature's closed the door. It seems they wanted to keep us around for something. After awhile we heard gun shoots and screaming and then laughed. As the creature's walked past our door they seemed to enjoy their job's

" Bang bang bang doom gloom death of the story."

Cross Check nuzzled his cousin calmly and put a hoof around her gently to keep her from breaking down. Looking up to the other and smiled weakly. He softly seemed to keep Kipper calm by whispering to her telling her how brave she is and how she has seen worse then this. She weakly smiled but leaned on him to feel save. She seemed more scared then the rest of us. Bear calmly looked around and looked into the room. This one seems very clean nothing that would rip apart body-parts. He looked over to Crystal and nods pointing to the wire's.

" These seem poorly attached to the locks. So if we do it right we could remove them slowly. But I would say we rip off some of the rubber to do this."

Seeker watched over to him and the rest of us looked at Seeker. Knowing that look she has.

" No wise...Bear sir...they seem to have one in here watching us. So if you do anything he will attack you. They have us in here for some reason. So might be best to see what they want us to see..This also may take many day's to see sadly. For they don't seem ready to show us."

Crystal  sighed. Looking to the others and shrugged as most of them curled up slowly and watched around to see what is going on. Amara just watched her eyes studying every part of the area. Seeming to relax as none of them come in here. Then watches the door open and close. Then open and close again. Like their changing guards her eye's seem to study as the others are asleep. Crystal kept watching as something came up to Crystal and seemed to knock out the hidden guard and then Footnote showed up looking at Crystal.

" Footnote come to help. Footnote sorry that you got captured by evil."

Crystal  blinks and hushes him.

" Go get the rest to help us please. The Ghouls the other Rat-Creepers."

Footnote blinks sighing

" They don't wish to help.'

Crystal  growls and grabs him bringing him in close.

" Convince them to help. Like it or not sooner or later they will find you and sooner they will break the truce with the Ghouls. So go convince them and then save us before they do whatever they are going to do to us. So please tell them what my mother did for you so long ago. Tell them what she did to help the wasteland. Even if it was small deed's."

Footnote sighed and his nose twitched and vanished from sight and slowly sneaked out to see if he can get help. Crystal  sighed and looked around now seeming to close her eyes and sit back down to wait to see what is going to happen. laying back calmly to close her eye's and seems to relax calmly and started to sleep.

Day 2 Still the Cell's

It was the second day and it seems their still trapped in the cell's. Good thing they packed as much food as they good. Kipper seemed to be happy for the moment. No issues feeling bothered about what is going on now. For the moment it seems it's very calm outside the room like they are waiting for something to happen out there. This gave the group something to talk about at least their together. Seeker just seemed to watch and enjoy the fact she is locked in a cell watching the wall.

" Hmm so interesting to be trapped in a cage waiting to be eaten or worse yes."

Seeker said with a large smile.

The others looked at Seeker like she was losing it. it was odd that she was even acting like this. Crystal  seemed to just relax and looked at the Pip-buck and seemed to look through it to see what else she can find. Looking up after awhile finding some more recording's but not really caring right now. Then looks over to Kipper and smiles.

" How are you holding up Kipper?"

Kipper looked up with a gentle smile she seems relaxed and happy nodding leaning into Cross-check seeming very relaxed as she is nuzzling him gently. Crystal  smiled softly nodding. Looking up after they hear sounds and it sounds like a church bell. As they hear that pony speak.

" Bring forth..your sin's...worship him-her. Worship them worship them the master's must be worshiped. Follow the path demons darkness of the ending dream's."

Seeker looked up and smiled. She started humming to the the church music. As the creature's around would hum and enjoy the music. As they slowly walk out to see this. It seems the guard is humming to that is in the room with them. She seems very interesting lately ever since they started this adventure. It's gotten to the point Bear feels that Seeker is just crazy. Crystal gently wrapped around Seeker and whispered in her ear. {What are you doing why are you acting like this?}

Seeker looked at Crystal with her blind eye like she is looking through her and she smiled.

" I'm known as Seeker yes we have met Crystal . You know me well you have known me all your life. You know I get like this when something interesting to me happens."

Crystal sighs and sits back down and leans on the rubber cell as they can make out the voice of him-her.

"Lost souls welcome to my sermon. I wish to tell you now what I have seen. The world is slowly going back to normal. Equestria is returning to it's former glory. For this needs to be stopped my dear children. For this new world is not for everyone. But it shall return back to the rich the one's who get ahead. By stepping on the young the old and using them as stepping stone's. We must gather more children go to all the cities in our lovely world. The small town's children and gather more to become part of us. When we get enough we shall take back this world to be ours my children even if it take's year's. We shall!!!"

The creature's cheer and then a second female voice sounds.

" Now now children it may take even longer. But we shall do it through infiltration and learning of the world that was left behind with the war. Of course it may be 50 year's since the so called Light-bringer brought us back the lovely world. But she thought small for us we think big. It shall happen Children sooner or later it will happen. We shall Rise!!"

They cheer again and they start to sing a darkly song. But it's hard to understand.  Seeker claps her hooves together seeming happy to hear this.

" Oh yes people wishing to do what they must to win the world. Oh yes so beautiful so beautiful. Must learn more must learn more."

Seeker looks to Crystal  smiling and laughs.

" We must learn Crystal so we can counter them with something they can follow these creature's are controlled by these words."

Crystal sighed and nodded. As she looks through her bag's there is enough food for months in there still so if they are trapped in there for months then they will be fine. The sermon seemed to be over as the creature's start walking back to their spot's as they seem to only be there for an hour. Looking towards Bear and Cree who seem to be thinking of idea's of how to get out of here. Cree seemed to be remember his family and Crystal was listening to her mother's recording again wishing she was alive to come and save her. She looks over to the two cousin's who seem to been talking, This was helping friends and family get closer. Crystal was just locked in the same cage with the crazy Seeker.

" I find this place pretty impressive. It's so amazing cute and lovely yes"

Seeker said with a large smile.

The others seem to be ignoring her sadly Crystal  can't she sits beside Seeker and looks to her and blinks.

" How come you're so calm Seeker?"

The white unicorn looked towards Crystal  again with the blind eye and chuckles.

" If you fear everything in this world you will never be happy. If you force all the empty inside you. Your heart is empty. You must enjoy and love the world. But you can't always allow fear to win Crystal . Your mother knew this. She fought giant shadow creature's she made everything better for others around her. Even when half the world hated her for what she did. Same with the Light-bringer. So many hated her but she did what she felt she had to."

Crystal  chuckles and then someone comes in and opens one of the cages it's a large Hell-hound he reaches in grabbing Kipper. As Cross is trying to stop him but the Hell-hound pushes him back as Kipper is carried off calling for help crying.

" LET HER GO!! Take me instead please!!"

Yelled Crystal .

Cross was ramming into the the cage to try to get it open. But after awhile Bear reached over and smiled.

" She is a strong mare Cross..She will be fine..I hope. But don't hurt yourself be ready to save her when the time is right."

It was silent again as Cross was pacing and pacing. There was no sounds at all it was getting pretty late so others started falling asleep. Crystal stayed awake as well as Seeker. Cross was trying to sleep but he was worried about Kipper.

" They had no right to take her...she is a gentle soul."

Cross said in anger.

" I hope they take me next!"

Seeker said with a giddy smile.

" You're crazy Seeker."

Seeker looks to Crystal and offers her hoof.

" Hello I'm sure we haven't met I am Seeker a dreamer a blind unicorn that see's the world for what it is."

Crystal  just gave her the I hate you look.

Seeker smiled and gave Crystal  a hug,

" Now your so much like your mother. Now you rest I don't need sleep like you all do. So you rest."

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Day 3: Still in the cage's and Kipper still missing.

Crystal  was still asleep as the others were getting tired of seeing the same old same old wall. No sound's at all and then the calmness of the area just seemed crazy. Bear was starting to play a writing game with Cree As they both seemed to laugh at what words and name's they could come up with. Crystal  listening to recording's that her mother found 50 year's ago. As her ear's pin to her head. As most of these are so long ago. Her She looks up feeling pain in her heart. She listens to the recording again feeling her heart sink more and more. She looks up as Seeker is oddly asleep or she seems to be.

Then Seeker rises up quickly and looks around. Her eye's wide and looks to Crystal.

"They're indoctrinating her, She is not going to be the same when she gets back..So Cross-Check be prepared to hold her crying self. Whatever their doing it's going to be harsh."

The rest of us looked at Seeker as Crystal  blinked.

" Was this another one of your vision's Seeker?"

Seeker looked over to Crystal  with lifting her eye-ridge.

" No Crystal  it's just common sense...I only have vision's when the time is needed and you know their not always right you know."

Crystal face pawed   and shook her head.

"Never mind."

Crystal went back to calmly listening  the recording's and sighs. It felt like day's but it's only been a few then a strange sound sounded in the room. A ball being thrown to have the guard chasing after it. Then Footnote came into focus as he smiled.

" Footnote what did they all say?"

Footnote seemed to have a large smile.

" They will but sadly they won't be able to for ten to 15 day's can you hold that long?"

Crystal  blinks as the others but Seeker look at Footnote like he's crazy.

" I think we can do it. If we start fighting each other Seeker will keep us in line.

Footnote nodded and gave Crystal a strange headset. Pointing to a red button.

" Click this button to give the signal alright? When you do this they will rush in here and help."

Crystal placed it into her bag nodding and looking at the others and smiles.

" We can do it we have been through worse shit then this."

Seeker looked back and chuckled

" No Crystal  no we haven't."

Crystal  gave Seeker a nasty look and rolled her eyes. She looked through her bag and found a few of the books her mother had in here. So she gave one of the books to Cross and another to Cree and Bear. Cross didn't read his right away and seemed to just nap and sleep. As Bear and Creedid. The book was about the Ministry Mare's.

" Huh so they did so much before the end."

Said Cree, Bear snorted and didn't read his book

They seemed very interested in learning of what they had to do to keep Equestria from falling apart.  Crystal's book was about the main six and their journey's through the world. It seems to be a long journey they went through and how they worked so hard together. It's so impressive to her that these two went through so many hard journey's just to get were they went.

They would switch books after awhile and start reading again. As they still haven't seen Kipper come back and they started getting worried. But they tried to keep their minds off it. But the one who seemed more into this is Seeker. Just kept staring at the same wall like trying to see through it. The idea of that was interesting to Amara.

" Seeker what do you see?"

Seeker just kept looking and spoke gently.

" I see Equestria dark dank and evil. I see half of it good and evil. I see the bird's the bee's the song's dancing of the sun. I see the endless night of peace within a new born foal. I see your mother's life force glowing within the world's force. I see it all. I see the dancing I see the music the singing the song's. I see it all in the wall. Look at the crack's you can see the aura of dancing of Bale-fire just to see the ending."

The others looked at each other when Seeker said all that and Crystal  rolled her eye's. It was getting hard to stay in here because they have been here for awhile. Hell the bathroom was in the corner of the cages. It started to smell as well. She didn't think they could last ten to 15 more day's It was getting hard just being here as long as they have been. it was late as well so all of them fell back to sleep. Waiting for the right time to strike.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Day: 4 Still in Cages. But Kipper returns.

We woke up to the sound of the door opening. A Hell-hound was carrying a dirty nasty looking Kipper. Her teal fur was so coated in dirt and dust and some blood. That she looked like a black green pony. She was placed back into the cage with Cross-Check as Seeker was then taken. Seeker laughed with a giddy.

" Oh please show me your wonderful life so much it. Oh i am going to love it. I could kiss you!!"

As Seeker left Kipper finally opened her eyes and looked into Cross-Checks eyes and moved her hoof to touch his face.

"Y...ou....are real.....C...ross...Crystal ....You..."

She started sobbing hard shaking hard and forcing herself into her cousin. This made Crystal pissed that she couldn't be near her friend. She reached over the best she could and patted her head.

" What did...they do to you?"

Kipper shakes hard and looks back at Crystal .

" They...have a ..strange m..ovie thing they showed me....They..showed me...what they...wanted to do...They tried to force me...to..b..be like them.. Darkness seeking...darkness...Oh darkness seeking...forcing light to the ...fullest."

Her eyes go wide and starts sobbing harder.

" Seeking seeking Seeking bread that never comes again....Water song's...Water!!"

Cross looked up worried he held Kipper tightly trying his best to help her through this. She kept screaming like the creature's in the halls. Like it's all she could say.  He gave her some water and then hummed a little bit to let her sleep. She just seemed to sleep like she didn't sleep for day's. Cross looked up with great anger in his eyes.

" If i get my hooves on those creature's their leader is the first to go."

Crystal  looked over to Cross and smiled nodding.

" Yes I agree with that. But we got to get through 10 to 15 day's it seems they want to break us.. Then let us meet these leader's. So then will be a time we move."

He nodded and stayed very close to Kipper wrapping his tail around her gently. Crystal  looked at everything and started to look into the wall to see what Seeker was seeing. Then she saw it. She saw that there is something wrong with the wall. It showed cracks it showed magic that has been used ages ago. It seems this room was used for something else. Such a sad sad thing. It seems she was starting to understand Seeker. Of course being trapped in a cage with a half blind unicorn is always impressive.

A few hour's later Kipper woke up and looked around seeing Cross sleeping and reached over to Crystal and Crystal  held her hoof and smiled.

" Hello my dear friend. I see your back up and wake."

She smiled weakly and nodded.

" it....was painful...but...they said..they will pull me in again later...I saw others being forced into this..It's hurtful...I even saw them kill another for insulting their leader...But those on the screen they listen to were not the real leader's...There is a bigger pony or whatever at work here. Someone more bigger harsher and someone that wishes to rule Equestria with a fist."

Crystal  blinks and nodded sighing softly.

" I figured sooner or later after a few year's of Equestria cleaning up that someone would try to start more chaos and fight the balance of power."

Then the music started and Kipper stood up and started to sing along with the creature's outside.

" Oh...bring us...to our place...Oh great goddess of our mind...Bring us to our place...Oh the darkness is rising the darkness is falling oh give us a home...to call our own..The light is falling and then the end shall come. Oh please Goddess and God...let is die for you. Oh give us to the master....so he can have his meal..of our souls..Oh give us...to the master...Give us....free us....Free us."

She kept singing and Cross grabbed her and brought her back and she looked around..

" That....wasn't pleasant I just felt like singing it was...painful.."

" Well...we got help..but we got to last...many more day's...I am sure we can don't you think we can?"

Kipper gave a nod.

" Your our leader..Crystal we can do anything with you around..Without your mind and my beauty.."

She bat's her eyes and giggles

" Ah that's the mare i know."

Crystal  laughs and smiles at Kipper as Bear and Cree roll their eyes. They all laugh though feeling happy and happy to be together as it seems all is going fine for now. As it seems these creature's are slowly ripping their wills apart. But first they went for Kipper making all those around angry..Very angry to all their minds no one hurts Kipper. Crystal  thought of Deep-Thought was here it would help more. She blinks and slowly brings out the headset. Speaking into it calmly.

" Psst Footnote you there?"

There was some small static for awhile then Footnote spoke.

" Yes..do you need us now?"

" No no...I need you to go to Guttervile and try to get the help of the ponies there. We got a friend there a changeling named Deep-Thought. So please we need more then just two groups to help us..If you tell the Guttervile ponies what is going on...Then we can get out of here quickly. So please try."

Footnote sighed.

" Alright...I will do what i can..."

Crystal  looked to the others nodding to them.

" Lets get some rest and try to avoid eating for awhile.. I know we have much food and water..But we need to eat when we have to. So save now lets rest."

Cree and Bear were playing a game with the paper again and they both nodded.

" lets see what can we make now?"

Cree said.

" How about a dick going into someone's heh heh."

Even in a cage Bear being his vulgar self. Cree face clawed.

" Of all the cages i had to be stuck with you Bear..."

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Day 5: Cages still Seeker still missing.

Crystal  was the first one awake hearing some fighting outside and cheering. Heard the voice of the pony that brought them here..

" This Zebra wishes to fight for his freedom look at him so young. If he win's he gets to leave our little home of peace. To only have this happen to him again later. But if he loses the winner gets to eat him. Who shall fight him...Oh look it's our champion the biggest Hell-hound that hasn't gone through the freedom of the soul. You all know his name we forced him through so much pain and forcing him to watch his family die "

They heard a deep growl this Iron-claw creature seemed to not be part of them but he didn't seem to have much of a choice. They heard the sound of fighting and claws and hooves clanging together. Then heard the pony again.

" You would think he would have killed this Zebra in right strike..But I guess being under the mind control of the Enclave so long ago made him weaker."

Iron-claw's howled in anger and the sounds of claws digging into flesh and the Zebra screamed and the Zebra was sliced to nothing and Iron-claw spoke.

" I'm not your toy...I am not ever going to grrrr be part of the lost..Enjoy your grrr meal...little pony."

The sound of cheering as Iron-claw went back to his duties. It seems some creature's here haven't been fully controlled as of yet. It made Crystal have hope. Cross seemed to get very upset but he stayed calm for Kipper because she needed him badly. He looked up to Crystal  and showed that he already had enough. But after all that they heard creature's eating what was left of the body. It was easy to hear them as it seemed these creature's have been starved and will fight for anything.

It was getting tiring being here they all started to stink after being here for awhile. But they didn't stop their hope that they would be fine. As Crystal read another book her mother had. It seemed to calm her. As Cross and Kipper kept talking about home and how they missed everyone. Hoping that they could save those that got captured. it was getting peaceful again as something else happen. The Pony started to laugh and speak.

" Well it seems we have another thing to be thankful for. Our dear Iron-claw removed a bit thorn in our side. That Zebra that he fed to our children. No longer a child that shall poison our words. We shall strike when the master's above say we should. But this again may be year's children year's. But rejoice children we have everything we need food...More coming each and everyday. We shall be ready to strike all those that wronged us. All those that have wronged us shall face the might of our master's and god's. Oh please children allow our song to be heard."

It was getting late and they were signing..Thankfully Kipper wasn't any longer it seems the indoctrination needs more then once to fully take effect. As they sing they seem to sing and go into speaking weirdly. But some didn't sing they said Iron-claw was there but he didn't sing at all. Slowly fell asleep again to be ready to see what the next day brings them hopping it would be more peaceful then what happen today.

"So it seems there is a way out of here...but we have to fight..."

Cree said calmly.

But Crystal  woke up looking back at the wall seeing most of what Seeker was talking about. Like the wall itself wanted to show the past. In the wall it showed ponies laughing and dancing. It showed Celestia raising the sun. Luna raising the moon. It showed the main Six laughing and dancing. Then them falling apart and each slowly dieing. How could a wall do this? Maybe she was starting to understand what Seeker sees. Maybe she see's the very past.

The past that all of us wish to see and wish we still had. Even if the past was here she wouldn't have existed to have these friends she cared for. The war caused many awful things but also some very good things. It seemed it brought creature's into the world.. That had help make a difference in the world.

" So this is what she meant...About seeing the truth of the world."

She said to herself.

But she had to think it was also being in here for to long was starting to make her think crazy like. Maybe she will learn more when Seeker return's and they can talk about it.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Day 6: Cages and Seeker returns.

It was another day we had no idea what to expect then Seeker returned they latterly through her into the cage and she laughed very very happy. As she seemed to trot in place and loved what happen.

" Oh you fools have no idea how to deal with one like me, I have seen it all child now who's next to see the dance and the laugh?!"

Then they grabbed Crystal  the others had fear in their eye's even Seeker did. Crystal  being pulled she watched as the room of the cages left. She was now able to see what's outside now. Looking around it looked like a former underground prison. Looking at other creature's in cell's that seemed starving and hungry.

" Take the others don't take her!! Take me!!"

Bear of course was trying to be a hero but failing as what he said was blotted out by everything in the area.

As some played card games and seemed to worship strange wooden totems and they peed and vomited all over. They even....did things that would make a whore blush.Crystal   was sat in a chair and chained to it as she then was forced to keep her eye's open with strange vices around them. As her head couldn't look but see the screen. The screen turned on and it showed Stable-tech. Then a voice slowly spoke over it.

"Hello I am Apple-bloom. Soon you will be able to save your family with a stable. It will be a way that you can save yourself from the coming end."

Then more recordings came over of foals being killed a bale-fire bomb exploding. Then battle's more death how did someone get all this and keep it safe like this. But it kept going show dog's attacking then more bombs going off. Dog's Zebra's death Changelings attacking hell-hounds attacking. Then so much blood so much battle crying laughing and then it went to a voice. A dark evil voice.

" Ah child...as you see the past....it was full of corruption evil and pain. No one could save each other or even cared to. I'm so sorry to say child..But the past is dead...The light-bringer tried to bring it back. The one in Hoofintin tried as well. The could have done the job..But the job failed in the eye's of many that saw the truth. The Goddess Luna and Celestia failed...failed failed.. Then we learn that some lovely mare's were forced into this war for no reason...No child....free yourself...become part of the lost...sing...sing!"

The song slowly started to play.

" Oh the sun glow's in the sky..But we don't deserve the sun or the moon. The birds singing as the past has left us. Our world belongs in the wasteland...For it's what the past forced us into..Oh open your eye's lost child and see the truth. The wasteland is how the world is meant to be. We shall bring it again...Oh sing.....sing...Bring back the wasteland...Bring back the end...Kill destroy and bring us back to be reborn in fire. Those that are broken...in heart. Oh please child never allow yourself to fall to fail."

Crystal  tried hard to struggle and the chains and straps were tighten. So she couldn't move and the vice to keep her eye's open was used to keep her to watch and to listen. The song kept going showing the pain of the war what the did of the war did.. The dead Zebra's the dead hell-hounds. it's showing the pain that never saw see the end.

" Oh follow the pain to be saved children... Follow the pain..follow to become part of the lost. Follow to have your body changed your face changed your heart renewed your song and soul changed...Oh at the lost of another soul...Bring forth the change."

Crystal  struggled but nothing could stop this. As it went on for hours and hours her eyes bleeding showing that she is trying to hard. They were trying so hard to break her will. She tried to ignore it and her mind went to her home and tried so hard to remember what her mother would have done or her father would have done.

Her eye's full of pain and anger. As she slowly started to get tired and wanted to sleep this was draining her will. As she kept trying to fight and then she heard a voice in her head. It was dark and something she had heard that was in her mother's mind. {Lost...exile...poor lost exile...he he he..Your mother would have disowned you if she saw you now. Before you ask who I am...I'm just part of your mind...or am I child? I will always haunt you and your mother. For what she did to me in the past...oh giving me a second chance..But child...you won't hear me again if you listen..Fight this....fight for your mother..Fight for your damn traitor of a father. Don't be weak be a vulf'van!!}

They removed the vice but kept the chains and straps on to hold her there. Then turned off the light and didn't allow her to eat. As the room was pure dark. She tried to see what she could see if she could see anything. This was a prison this could have been the room were they killed those they couldn't reform. She looked around as her eyes found it hard to see. It was like she was blind for the moment. But then her eye's stated to slowly heal. Then Iron-claw's walked in calmly giving Crystal  a sparkle-cola and allowing her to drink it down. It seemed this Hell-hound didn't seem to care about all was going on. He looked at Amara and then slowly walked out.

" Wait.....why do you let them do this?"

Iron-Claw kept moving and closed the door. Then a sound called out to say it was time to rest and for the next day. Crystal  couldn't sleep she couldn't understand why they were doing this. She tried so hard to sleep but she couldn't. As her eyes slowly tried to lower but closed. But then and slowly opened them again her mind had to much going on. Then she leaned back and slowly falling asleep. Her eyes slowly finally allowing her to sleep. As she started to finally sleep as could as she could. What she watched haunted her dreams.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Day 7: Crystal  still stuck in the room.

Crystal  opened her eye's she didn't know what was going on and then looked up seeing that pony again he is in a priest suit and he smiled. The mixed pony of many different  body parts softly spoke.

" Do you wish to become part of The Lost?"

Crystal  gave a growl and stared at him and the pony shook his head.

" My name is patch..Now listen and hear me out before you say no child. We give you the family and the horn that you feel you deserve. Even if some must die to do so. The need's of the many out weigh the news of the few child. We are the many the wasteland is the few. The war was needed to bring the many's hearts to open and see the truth of friendship of hope of Goddess. The Goddess failed us the princess failed us Canterlot failed us. Now there is a new Canerlot. Child it's going to happen again..Everything will come and go again. Maybe a whole lot worse child. Do you understand child?

Crystal  just stared at him growling showing her sharp teeth. As she didn't wish to listen but she was forced to. As she looked at him."

" Why did you do this why?! Who did you kill to get those part of a body..Why do you do this?"

Patch gave a sweet smile showing many different teeth. He then said in a soft voice.

" There is The pact of lost souls..that have come to learn that the promise of peace through doing nothing but speaking is a lie child. Those values of 250 year's ago there is no such thing as friendship love and hope. We would be your friends child. As we would tell you how you should live. Then destroy the land that has caused us all so much pain..Let it burn in the fire of renew and then rebirth shall form through the magic of fire and change."

Crystal  looked up as she felt the pony was insane and then he started to sing..It's a song that could be stuck in her mind for along time.

" Follow us...child...follow us..to become part of the family. Oh child never allow us to end...see us and the happiness of our home..Oh please child follow us within the end of the song that is never there within the ending night of a song that should show the ending night and then full of the ending night that is within the music. Oh please children follow the entering night. As the ending night shall within the ending song. Oh within the ending dream...Please never allow this to end.."

Crystal 's ear's pinned back trying so hard to ignore the song. As it kept going and going. As she heard a voice in her mind with the voice going. { Fight...child....fight like your mother...Your mother would have broke free and killed this stallion. Now...fight win..Don't become...the next one to fail..child..} She kept hearing those words as she fought back what she could it wasn't as easy as it seemed..there was something to this song that made her feel that she had to sing along. But she fought it as well as she could. She was able to turn her hands into a fist. Forcing her claws into her hand to make them bleed. As she forces the claws deeper in to ignore the singing if this helped her to do so.

The singing stopped as the pony left and smiled at Crystal  and chuckles. Her eyes watch him leave as she sits there hoping the day's end soon. Because she wanted to get out of her quickly so she doesn't have to be here any longer. But she has to hold out a few more day's these creature's had a plan for them. Her eye's kept looking through the darkness it was being harder to stay awake but she had to stay awake so she didn't have to worry about all this. Her ears could hear so much outside to much. it was all kind's of singing as her eyes glowed in the darkness. The pain of her head throbbing it was hard to understand what the hell was going on.

Crystal  slowly started closing her eye's to try to get to sleep again it wasn't easy. Her body in pain from all this going on as her eyes slowly drift her to sleep. She started to dream again of the pain and what was going on. Her dream was of her family looking at her and telling her how much of a fool she was..For following the lost souls. She had failed her mother in her dream and her mother tried to kill her. Then she fought with her mother to the death killing her and holding her tightly. The only words she got from her dieing mother were these words.{You made me proud..Crystal  to bad...I would never see you grow.} Tiria was holding Crystal s a baby and she started to have tear's fall from her eye's again as she sleep. It was so painful to have this dream she had it so many time's. She wanted to meet her she wanted to see her. She just wanted her here to save her. Her pain was so huge right now as she opened her eye's seeing something stare at her.

" Why is wolf creature grrr crying?'

She looked up at the Hell-hound named Iron-claw

" Hard to talk about it...But why do you care?"

" Because grrr creature...They are going to take you and your friends and turn you into us in a few day's on the 20th day you will be pulled to become one part of us. I hope your ready miss for you can never win."

The hell-hound left the room as Crystal  fell back asleep.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Day: 8 Still the same room.

Crystal  opened her eye's as two Hell-hounds with different body parts on them carried Crystal  back to the cage and threw her in with Seeker and seeker slowly stroked her face and smiled. She stayed silent as she watched them try to take Bear. Bear threw a fight and the second Hell-hound smashed him into the wall and he was knocked out. Now being able to carry him out. The others looked to Crystal  and she smiled weakly and slowly sat up as Seeker gave Crystal a drink of water.

" We have...to fight we have twelve day's we need to fight and then we can escape."

The others looked at each other.. Nodding.

" I am sure...how we can hold out that long.. But we still have all our food and they give us clean water....So i ain't sure."

Kipper said with concern in her voice.

Seeker seemed fine as she stayed closed to Crystal  and did her best to keep her mind clear. Crystal looked up to the Unicorn and smiled.

" I see what you see now Seeker. I looked at the wall...I see the past..I see the song of the past..I see what the past was..But it's through that wall that seems..To have seen it all and the entire world has a story..Not just the books or those orbs that unicorns can see through. I haven't heard of such a thing Seeker how do you do it?"

The white unicorn gave a smile and chuckled.

" Well you have to remember I am older then most thing. I'm nothing like a normal unicorn and I enjoyed that strange little movie they had me watch. Ooooo It was so pretty and lovely and then I loved how they tried so hard to turn me into one of them. Hmm if only I could find a stallion to take me during that time then I would have loved it. A good bucking and then a indoctrination movie. It would have been so fun and lovely."

The white unicorn had a dark smile and a laugh and gave Crystal  more water and then put the Canteen away.

" But right now we need to keep our minds clear. I will have no issue with this for I already lost my mind year's ago. So I am enjoying the fact that they're trying to get me to lose it even more."

She laughs and Cross seems to being guarding Kipper. She is asleep and seeming ten time's better now."

" Oh and Kipper was sobbing for the past two night's since you were gone. You two are close for being very out of age range. You 49 her 20."

Crystal  smiles and chuckles.

"I watched her be born and promised her mother that I will do anything to protect her. Doesn't help that she tried hard to get me drunk before she got married to that raider. Heh it was fun before she got married she did much to play with my mind. So the two of us did naughty shit just for the hell of it.. Even though her mother caught us one night. Then she gave me hell saying to me..How my mother would have seen this. So yeah after she got married to that raider. I promised to my best friend who I even thought of my sister. I would do anything to protect Kipper. I was even there when she got her cutie-mark. She was fishing and I got wounded by a bite. She removed the oil from the fish and coated the wound. Then after that boom the mark showed up. That's why it has a fish with the medical cross."

Seeker laughs.

"Yes I knew some of that Amara. But I never knew you two were that close. Is that why you will do anything to defend White-Fluffs little one?"

Seeker looks over to the sleeping Kipper and smiles. Then to Cross-Check. Then to Crystal .

"Yes I will do anything for Kipper even killing one that try's to get her in bed. I will rip them apart till I approve of them. Because I ain't going to let any fool be with her."

Seeker looked over to Kipper nodding. The white Unicorn was very much part of The Moon's Shadow as everyone here. Even Bear but we have no idea what their doing to him. Crystal looked up feeling a bit better now that she is back with her friends. As she looked up to Seeker and hugs her tightly and smiles. Then looks over to the others and Cree seems board and seems to be reading a book. As it seems very calm and gentle right now. Even if the black female Vulf'van went through hell two day's ago. It seems they wanted to break us before the 20 day's were up. It was getting to the point that we didn't think we would get past the 20 day's.

Crystal looked calmly to Seeker.

" If I start going crazy will you wake me up from it?"

Seeker gave a calm nod. See then sat and watched the wall again seeming to just stare at the endless wall. A soft smile coming across her face. Like she is seeing hope in the wall. Ten time's more hope then was in the waste when she walked it. During this the others fell asleep as Seeker just watched her wall. Amara falling asleep seeming to be at peace with Seeker in the same cage. Seeker looked towards the rest of the group still in the cages. It seems that she stared at them with her blind eye a sad smile coming over her face. She knew something but didn't wish to say.

The white unicorn kept looking calmly at Cree and smiled and then to Kipper and Cross. A larger smile forming then to Crystal  a large frown forming. She knew something was going to happen to Crystal she thought to herself. { The poor child...soon she will be following in the footsteps of her mother. But even more so then she has before.}

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Day 9: Bear still gone. Moral slowly falling.

Crystal  woke up hearing Kipper arguing with Cree it was heated. It was extremely heated it got to the point they almost started having a screaming match. Seeker was watching and seemed to be waiting for the right time to speak.

" You fucking pansy teal shit. I can't believe. I have been friends with you all these year's. I see you and I just can't stand you anymore!!"

Kipper had tear's in her eye's as she felt her best friend was ripping her apart she spoke back in anger and in tear's.

" You and I have been through so much....Cree...why do you hate me now?! All i did was ask a question.....a simple question."

Cree growled and tried to get to her with his claws Cross seeming to not get in the middle at the moment. Seeker finally got in the middle and her horn glowed and we finally saw her power.

" ENOUGH!!"

When Seeker spoke she looked at them within their minds and a strange glow held their heads and her blind eye was glowing. As they calmed looking into her eye. Amara looked into the eye seeing nothing but it was glowing like the moon itself. The two looked back at each other as Duffy had tear's fall from his eyes and he reached for Kipper and held her hoof and smiled weakly."

" I'm sorry Kipper....I have no idea....w..what came over me."

Kipper sobbed and was able to reach enough to sob in his shoulder the cages were close enough for that. As Cree tried hard to hold her close. He forgot how fragile the teal mare was. He held her tightly and then looked at Cross his eyes full of anger for what Cree did and he nodded.

" Their testing us now...There is something in the air that is causing negative thoughts...I can see this with my eyes. Thankfully they don't know my power of calming with magic and my blind eye. For the moon blinded my eye in the past with a beam. But I shall not allow my friends to fall and I will always remember who they should be."

Cree gave Seeker a look and allowed Kipper to go back to her cousin and she lied down calmly resting to hope that never happen again.  Seeker looks at the wall again it seems learning now that Seeker never really eats that much and is a pure crazy insane creature. Crystal  slowly looked over to Seeker and sat by her and smiles.

" So...what was that?"

She was cut short when they heard the pony from before in the arena.

" Everyone we have a new challenger. But sadly if he loses he will just go back to his cell. Of course he might die within the cell. Give it for the Scavenger BEAR!! Even if he wins...he will be forced back into his cell. He knows to much. Now his challenger Iron-Claw!!!"

Everyone's ears perk up and Seeker's eye goes wide and she looks down. She knew this was going to happen hoping she was wrong. Looking to the cage near Cree.

" He can't be that stupid can he?!"

Cross said

" He's a male wishing to earn points for Crystal."

Kipper said with a giggle

She couldn't see what she thought she did. So the future has yet to be told. The fight started as it sounded like Bear held his own pretty well. Even after it sounded like Iron-Claw broke his arm. Being a vulf'ven their lust for battle was great. It sounded like a draw of a fight and then the crowed cheered for Iron-Claw and then the sound of bear's leg getting shattered. Then they yelled kill kill and then Iron-claw yelled.

" I will not be a murder to one that is trying to save his own people. He has honor and heart Grrrr I will give him back to his friends...if anyone..try's to get him in his cell. You will have to deal with me. I will destroy anyone that try's to even eat his friends..They have grrr heart unlike you worthless fools."

The sound of booing as Bear was carried in by Iron-claw and he opened up Cross and Kipper's Cage.

" Healer pony get out..."

He opened Cree's  cage

" Griffin get out..as well."

Cree gets out of his cage going into the cage with Cross and then Kipper being put in with Bear. As she started setting bear's arm and leg. She gives him a potion to help the bones heal faster. Iron-claw stared at Crystal  and walked out as Crystal spoke.

" Wait!!"

Iron-claw didn't listen and walked out of the room and closed the door. Seeker looked towards Bear having a large smile on her face. As the white unicorn was happy that the future this time was wrong. The potion took time to work as she looked up to the door and Kipper smiled and gave Bear a hug. She didn't know him that well but when she hugged she liked the pony creature thing. She did it to Silver gunner as well. It was a good day a day that was needed for once.

But before we all fell asleep a Zebra came in with a gun strapped to his side. He wasn't one of the Lost yet. But he opened the cage to get Cree and pointed the gun to him as Cree looked back and slowly walked out of the cage. He was next to have his mind screwed over as he waved by to Kipper. Kipper had tear's in her eyes hopping he lives through it.

Cree looked back at them with a smile before he full left the room. With the guns in his back.

" I will be fine everyone."

He was pushed out of the room.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Day 10: In the cage still and Cree gone.

It was silent as Kipper put her head on bear's stomach as she watched everyone. Crystal  started to look like the walls were caving in on her. She did get something that her mother had. Claustrophobia. She felt the cage cave in on her as she got in the corner of the cage and wrapped around herself and breathed hard the room was playing with her mind. Apparently the indoctrination was causing her to live her fear. As she shook hard and Seeker seemed to wait before getting in the middle. Crystal  started to sob and looked around she sounded like a pup lost and wanting her mother.

" Mommy.....mommy...please Mommy help me..."

Kipper looked up her eyes full of fear that her friend is falling apart Cross looked the same. As Seeker slowly walked up and sat on her haunches near Crystal and put her head near her neck and started to hum softly as her horn makes music to block out whatever is making lose their minds. She hums so softly as the horn makes very gentle music. She did this for awhile many hours leaning on Crystal  making sure the fear was gone. It was getting close to the end of the day already. As she seems to be easing Amara's mind and she clicked the Pip-buck before hand to record the humming and music.

After awhile Crystal  and the others fell asleep and Seeker stayed awake like always. Seeker was strange and she was the most useful it seems that she is turning out to be. She slowly looked back to the wall. Tear's falling from her good eye as she see's the past. Sooner or later she was going to have to tell the truth. But she never would be able to tell the full truth of what happen to her. She just stared at the wall seeing the magic of life in the cracks of the wall. Tree's forming the bees flying through the sky and the ending of a night shall see the dreams. She turned to watch everyone sleep again with her one eye. It glowed calmly as she wished to keep her friends mind's calm. Looking back to the wall she knew her fate. But her fate wasn't anytime soon. For she is the Seeker.. But no one knew what she was Seeking.

" The seeker shall see the truth soon. The truth is but how it's seen and how it's ending."

Seeker said to herself seeming to relax.

The white Unicorn kept staring calmly. A white unicorn's eye's glowed gently as she started to softly hum again. The hum sounded through the caged area. As outside Iron-Claw's heard it and listened as he felt his foot taping. it seems the calm is needed for now. This is Equestria the land of magic of pure magic and love. Even with it healing after 200 year's of taint and radiation. It was time for a calm heart to ease the sorrow of everyone around. Some of the lost would wake up a moment seeing themselves and started feel awful for what they did. But after that a few second's their souls would go back to nothing. It would seem they have fully lost everything about themselves being what they have done to others.

The white unicorn gently closed her eye's and then opened them seeing the magic filling the cracks. As she looks to the side seeing the one hidden by the edge of the cages. Watching keeping a close eye on the group of strange creature's that came form a small village looking for those she care so much for. The eye stared back at the cracks it seems the only thing she cared about along with her friends. The whisper's the ending night.

" Oh...if only the key...could be here...if only the staff was singing to thee..But the key no longer wished to dance and see. The key is now empty and lost. May the ending night be within the ending of a dream. Oh the song is but the ending key..For the book shall be the song and the book is now going to open..To see the ending future...For that time is coming soon..The future is in the hands...of the hero's again...for this war..that is coming my prove painful in the wasteland. Hopefully we can stop them."

Looking back to Crystal and softly smiled.

" A hero...is not you...you need to help make hero's like The wasteland's light-bringer. Hero's are needed in this hour. But it will be the time that is right to bring hero's. Many will die just to be hero's to protect their friends loved one's and future's."

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Day 11: Moral a bit low. and Cree return's

It's been another day and Kipper was sobbing softly as she missed Cree. She missed talking to her friend. She just hit 20 a few months ago and finally is an adult mare. But she still was scared of what was going on. She seemed so scared and wanted to know if Cree was okay. She looked over to Crystal  who was fast asleep. It seemed she didn't wake up since the day Seeker hummed Crystal  asleep. She then looked over to Seeker and seeker just smiled softly. Showing her beauty and her eye. Trying so hard to calm the teal mare with her blind eye that looked like a full moon.

Kipper relaxes and smiles as the white unicorn looks at the wall again. Kipper blinked and looked towards the wall as well. Not sure what Seeker is seeing. Then looked again her teal horn slowly glowing finally seeing what the blind unicorn saw. At first she couldn't believe what she saw. it was latterly a living painting moving and becoming part of the world. But then she blinked as Cree was brought back. He couldn't see anything so he was helped back in the cage and the Zebra looked at Seeker and tear's formed in his eyes.

" your...humming old...one makes me forget the pain I have caused."

The Zebra lowers his head as the cage was closed and Cree was fast asleep seeming to not be fully there after all that. it was going to be Cross's turn soon. As it seems Seeker was changing things just by being here. Crystal  asleep now same with Cross and bear. it was just Kipper and Seeker. Kipper looked over to Seeker calmly.

" How...can you stand being in here and acting like there is nothing wrong?"

Seeking looked over to Kipper with a confused look.

" Ah but there is always something wrong miss Kipper. There is never anything right. It's how you see the world and how you let it control you and how you let the pain get to you. I have allowed the world to get to me for to long in the past. It's time to let the future go and let the past leave. For if we fall we just get back up and fight on. I have learned this for along time dear one."

Kipper looked at the white unicorn oddly. Her eye's seeming to stare calmly at her and seemed to be losing her moral slowly. But Seeker just seemed to act like the world around her didn't cause the pain it did.

" But...that makes no sense miss Seeker...What are you...first you tell us your just some future seer. Now you see that the world is but faults and you see the world through the walls?"

Seeker laughs and shakes her head.

" There are many things in Equestria Kipper that will never be told. So many things and secrets of the past coming out to the light of today. It's but how you see it. Its how you want to see it and how you want it to sing to you as well. It's but seeking the water but only finding the sand. How seeking the sand and finding the water. How the water could be the blood of the fallen. How the sky hold's the ponies of flight. How so many seek the past to bring it back. We can't just force the past back..We must first accept the sins of the past before we can accept the sins of the future."

Kipper looked at Seeker oddly again and found it strange that Seeker just is so focused on the future and that would mean getting out of here.

" What are you truly Seeker? You seem nothing like a normal unicorn. You seem nothing like a normal pony. In the face of battle you just act like it's pure fun and like you have never seen battle. Why are you so full of like the next part of the world is but the end?  Why do you feel that you have to be that way?"

Seeker looked at Kipper surprised and smiled.

" I'm what you see Kipper a pure white unicorn. That is just a normal everyday being that sees the world how it's meant to be seen. The world is meant to be seen like you see art. Art is all over this world. You even see it in the blood. You see it in the way a foal is born. The scream the music along with it. How the loving thoughts of the two lover's that created that life is smiling even in this world even during the war. I am sure you have seen the endless night. Even with the war i am sure so many had peace in their hearts..Even if they died they would be with those they loved or meet them again in death."

Kipper just stared at Seeker who looked back at her with a gentle smile.

" You have to understand Kipper. I have watched friendship's go on even when Tiria died giving birth to Crystal . I watched the love her friends had for her. All the love she gave to her just so Amara can live. Seeing that was what made me happy to see that..Tiria's heart went into Crystal when she was older. Death giving birth is a heartbreak in itself. I just met her not that long ago. I learned so much about her and how she did so much for her friends. Now it's the time for Crystal  you and the others to do the same. Like 50 year's ago Equestria needed hero's. Now it needs hero's again."

Kipper tried to speak again and Seeker spoke before her.

" Enough of this talk Kipper. Rest...it's going to be soon and we will be asked to choose. To join or...to die. We need to be ready to fight if we choose to die."

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Day 12: Talk of two souls.

It seems most were asleep but Seeker and she had her horn glowing to make sure those around her stayed relax and asleep. She was worried about her friends. She was over using her magic to keep her friends from over doing it themselves. She would soon need to rest herself. As the door opens and Iron-Claw walks in. She finally gets a very good look at Iron-Claw. He has glowing cybernetic claws and his eyes seemed every bit as normal. It seems the Cybernetic are from along time ago. The creature spoke.

" Little pony....your different then the others. Explain yourself pony grr."

Seeker looked into the eye's of the Hell-Hound with a gentle smile coming across her face.

" I'm just a unicorn child."

Iron-Claw seemed unsure about that... Then spoke.

" Why did you and your friends hunt us down?'

Seeker chuckled and looked at the Hell-Hound tilting her head.

" You took ponies and others from our home sir. Ponies and others that have made a home there after 50 year's. A home full of hero's mother's father's Brother's sister's. Healer's warrior's poets singer's writer's and So on. Even....hero's. These are the lost Soul's that found their way to little town's in the waste in the past. Found their paths' through the pain they saw and the work they did to fix it. What about you...what are you?"

The Hell-hound looked at the creature.

" I'm what you see a Hell-Hound."

Seeker gave him a look and spoke again.

" No...What are you?"

The creature just stood there as he never been asked this question. Her eye's staring at him or through him to see the very soul of the lost.

" Your a lost soul child. These creature's claim they can rescue the lost souls from the darkness and give them the freedom of the lost. There is no freedom for a lost soul child. It's a choice that you make. if you wish to be lost...then your lost...Give that freedom to the lost crying soul's of the past and present and future..Then you see what shall be brought to bare. A battle of hero's to fight back the darkness that wishes to consume them. No one knows how a lost soul see's. They see all they see the darkness they see the night. They all see the brightness of the ending past. A song that sings to thee a song that wishes to be known. Now I ask...again..What are you?"

The Hell-hound just stare's at the Unicorn. This unicorn is different. To the one's he had met before. This is new to him so new. As his emotions are so inflicted just by these words.

" I...don't know..."

Seeker chuckles.

" Then you don't I see you as you are..Just another seeking freedom of the lost empty night. To see the sun rise..Not feel the heat and love of it. To see the moon not see the light and the beauty of it. To just be empty and see the nether of the void that wishes to consume you whole within the darkness that never shall let you be free.."

The Hell-hound is so conflicted and looks at the creature's friends.

" What about them...are they lost souls that have found a way in this world?"

Seeker looks over to her friends and smiles.

"Crystal here is the daughter of a hero..that risked her life for her own race to be free. Kipper is the granddaughter of a mare that traveled along with her. Cree is the son of another that traveled with her. They are lost but they have been found as well. Half lost half found..They know the freedom of the lost souls..But close the door they will become fully lost...With the ending of a soul when it's lost is heartbreaking. You see the soul scream in the night. You see it try to break the door..But then the soul ends and dies slowly over the year's..Then the soul is never seen till the end..Till the mind makes the choice to live,....to die...or to seek."

Iron-Claw just stood there staring at the Unicorn his eye's looking around like his mind is not sure of himself.

"My humming woke some of the souls here that have been lost. You are far from lost child. You see what is seen..Most see what is seen and why they must not win. I don't know how strong this Pact is child. But they need to be given a proper path then being given faults promises. Even if they bring back war to Equestria after 50 year's without war thanks to the one known as Little-pip and the others that do have name's. But all names that shall be sung have been sung. Fifty year's of trying to get Equestria free of the pain that was caused...Other part's of the land it's harder. But even I am sure the past has forgiven the Princess the six mare's that did so much and the Steel Ranger's. The Enclave and all those souls in between."

Iron-Claw tried to speak but Seeker cut him off one last time.

" You have even been forgiven for your past deeds and your present deed's I'm sure of it. It's not going to be easy to convince yourself this. But your not lost...Your just between the door and the choice...What will be your choice child?"

The Hell-hound just backed off bowing his head in respect and headed out the door. Closing it behind him.

Seeker just softly said to herself but loud enough it could be heard.

" Your choice will be your turning point child..Pray it's the right one."

Her horn dims and she closes her eyes to meditate to ease the use of her magic. As it seems the lasting magic on the mind's of her friend's. Keep's them calm and refreshed.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Day 13: Cross is taken and a choice is spoken..

The others slowly wake. As they see Seeker calmly having her eye's closed. As the door open's and a mismatched Griffin with pony hooves and pony mane walks in. Opening the cage and grabs Cross seeming to be kind to him. But forcing him through the door. As Seeker slowly spoke.

" Your going to have a choice my friends. I already know my choice...It's always been known to me. But what will be your choice?"

Crystal  blinks and looks at Seeker.

" What do you mean by choice Seeker?"

Seeker opens her eyes and looks to Crystal .

" There is going to be a choice Crystal . Soon we will be forced into a choice of becoming Lost souls..Our Freedom will be ended our song's will go out. We need to know the choice of it."

Crystal  blinks and sighs.

" I already know...my choice...but it's hard to keep my mind sane..so much is going on."

Seeker looks deep into Amara's eyes.

" Stop being...weak shiver-wolf...Stop dishonoring your mother. If your choice is the one that you wish to end...then your mother will have disowned you.  Remember this child fight....and move."

Crystal  growled and then stopped she knew not to mess with this mare. She coughed and nodded.

" My choice will be when the time is right."

Seeker nods and looks to the others

Kipper calmly speaks.

" I know my choice."

Cree nods lifting his wing.

" My choice is freedom of the soul."

Bear speaks softly.

" My choice is freedom damn it..but how can we last they could get to us fast."

Seeker smiles sweetly.

" You have to remember to fight and to win the fight. It's not going to be easy to win the fight of the mind. You need to remember. The fight of the mind is the fight that is always hard to win..Because of the gentle understanding of how the seeking can be done..Within the endless night of the seeking and hope. Now rest...it's getting close and we will need our might and our mind's to be ready for the time to do this."

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Day 14: All but seeker are taken.

They wake up and then a large group of the creature's come in and pull all of them out but Seeker. It seems they noticed that Seeker is no longer able to be turned. Iron-Claw walked in watching the friends being taken and sighs.

" They will be in there for the next three day's. Hope their strong enough to fight and keep their will's"

Seeker smiles and stand's walking to the cage door as it's closed and she smiles.

" Ah but they will know what to choose. I will follow even no matter how much the choice would effect my way of thinking."

Seeker looks up to The Hell-hound again. As the door opens up and it seems more come to listen to Seeker.

" Ah so some don't buy the The pact then child?"

Iron-Claw looks to the others and sighs.

" We have seen what they can do..But it's hard to know if what they wish to do is right."

The cloaked hell-hound that is mismatched nods as it seems some have second thought's.

" How strong is The pact?"

Iron-claw sighs.

" Stronger then I even know. The only places they don't go to are Tenpony tower. New Appleloosa. New Canterlot. Hooofintin of course only a fool would go there and live there. They don't have the power to take over a large city..But their getting there even if it takes them a year. Even after 50 year's Hoofintin still has a bad reputation."

Looks to the others. It seems one is a Griffin one is that Zebra and the other is the guard. Nodding.

" You all have a choose even if you don't wish to seek it. Just remember when the time come's you all have this choice and remember to see it."

She motions with her hoof to ask them to leave.

" I need to rest the choices will be soon...Then I need my magic."

They nod and the guard goes back to his position as it seems they have much to think about.

Day 15: Seeker's day of rest the rest gone.

It seemed to be a calm day. The others gone to be worked on with their minds. As Seeker just relaxed in her cage. As she dreamed she would see so much in her mind. But her dreams could never be seen themselves but she can dream. How the dreams seemed to end they just started up again. The Unicorn mare seemed to have peace even if her friends are getting hurt right now.

" The time to rest is now my mind..and eye's of the past."

She slept soundly to try to regain all the magic she can before the time is right. She slept through the day hearing no scream's no issues just a time that she needed to relax. It seems even Iron-Claw gave her time to relax and and to listen as her body twitches as she sleeps and dreams. It's being harder that went through this dream.

Day 16: A day of speaking

Seeker opened her eye's and looked to see her friends still gone. As she got up fully and seemed to wait to see what happens the guard slowly coming over. Seeker looked at him calmly and tilts her head.

" You wish to speak lost one?"

The guard nods and looks down.

" Would I ever be forgiven for what I did...For what i took from others?"

The unicorn mare just sat there her pure white tail curling around herself a bit and smiles.

"Sometimes forgiveness come's with the right choice. What is your choice or have you made your choice already? I see you have the parts of others maybe it's still a way to keep yourself from completely falling into the trap of losing your soul. Are you willing to choose or are you willing to be lost like the rest that would be?"

The guard looked up and didn't seem to know and his eyes look down and went back to guard and seemed to be thinking of what to do. He seemed very lost. As then the Zebra slowly walked in and Seeker looked at him with a gentle smile.

" Yes?"

The Zebra looks up with great pain in his eyes and tear's fall.

" My choice when I came here..was to take my parent's lives...How could I do such a thing was it to live was it to allow myself to be ready to die again?"

Seeker softly smiled.

" This is how you see it my friend please remember it will be hard to know..The choice is soon be ready in case."

The zebra nodded going out.

Seeker yawned and drank some water. As she curled up again and falling back asleep. As she seems to rest the rest of the day.

Day 17: One more day alone.

Seeker was fast asleep still her eyes twitching in her head as her eyelids were closed just to rest. As she seemed to be dreaming of what happen to her. Of what she refused to speak of it seems. As she slowly then went back to normal in her sleep. She was very relaxed now. As she slept calmly. As she spoke in her sleep loudly.

" I ain't sure the path is real..I ain't sure the seeking is light...I shall see i shall see. Oh for the night that shall see us for the night that shall end us. I have made my choice. I will not be lost in my choice or lost int he mind of the path that wishes to see me lost. You will be lost if your choice is faults and your choice is in the mind."

It seems she is talking to someone calmly in her sleep. Like she is speaking to herself. Then she slept through the night.

Day 18: Their back and one more day to the choice.

Seeker opens her eyes and sees the others come back and forced back into the cage. As Crystal  is back into the cage with Seeker. Cross and Kipper in the same cell and Cree and Bear back into theirs as well. She watched as they seem fast asleep and bleeding as well in spots but not as bad as she expected.The first one to wake was Crystal ...her eye's full of pain and she smiles weakly at Seeker.

" I don't know....how well we won...Seeker...But it seems we did...hopefully. We will know when they do the speech tomorrow and they will be able to tell us after the speech. But I'm not sure about my choice now after all that what do I do?"

Seeker calmly lifted her hoof and gave Crystal 's arm a gentle stroke and smiles. Then clicks on the Pip-Buck to give her the humming again. As she looks over to Cree waking up and smiling weakly at Seeker Bear seems completely out of it. She watches as Crystal falls fast asleep and then looks back to Cree who smiled and nodded as he feel asleep and Cross as asleep as well But Kipper seemed worse.

" Kipper you okay?"

Kipper looked up at Seeker and seemed angry.

" How can you sit by and watch us in pain Seeker?! Do you even care about us. You seem your able to get us out of here!! Your nothing but a fool. A fool!!"

Seeker was taken a back by this and stares at her camly.

" Kipper your anger is controlling you think like your mother and grandmother would. Don't allow them to get to you child."

Kipper grew angry and with her magic brings out her pistol and aims at seeker's head and pants hard. Her eyes full of hate. Seeker looks at her with calm reflection and looks at the gun and puts her head to it. As she surprises the angry teal mare. As she smiles and then softly speaks.

" You have a choice right now Kipper. To kill me and then allow your anger and hate fill you or you can put the gun away and beat this feeling of pain and hate. I know I seem different then the others but you need to understand I am what i am..You are who you are. Now choose shoot me in cold blood. Anger your best friend watch her throw you in the trash for murdering someone who did nothing to you child."

Her words seem soothing and calm but also controlling in a way.

Her magic explodes around the gun and it drops in The cage with Seeker and then. The white unicorn slowly eases it back into the bag of Kipper's and smiles sweetly.

" What are you Seeker?"

" The better question is Kipper what are you?"

Kipper's eyes go wide and then look down.

" Kipper your not a murder your a healer that heals those that need your hooves and magic. Your a child of a healer a grandchild of a great healer that helped me many a time's. Now choose what you are."

The teal mare looked up to Seeker and smiled.

" I'm a healer....I fight...for those I care for."

" Good..child now rest...one more day and then the choice"

Kipper slowly fell asleep and Seeker fully awake.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Day 19: The Speech and the day before the choice.

They all woke up to hearing the pony that brought them here speak.

" Children one more day and the new souls will choose what they wish to do..They either join us or they become part of the lost souls. For we will give them the freedom of the lost souls. For all souls have a right to choose but they don't have a right to the freedom of choice. After their choice they will be forced to do great things..or fall. Our master's our God's word is might and power. As our heart's are pure for his-her might. We shall seek the endless night and make sure we never fall."

He keeps speaking as it gets louder in the heads of the others but Seeker.

" Darkness follows the door is smashed...The light is sung the fall is cracked...The waterfall is red...The moon is full..The light is darkness. Now children rest be ready for tomorrow for tomorrow is how we end this. Get ready children and sleep well."

As he walks off they all start to sing and then the song makes the others but Seeker fall asleep.

Day 20: The Choice.

The cages were open after they all woke. Taken out to the main room as the pony stood there with chained colts fillies mare's stallions and even one's that refused to join. As he looks at them and smiles. As the Zebra is there beside them along with iron-Claw and the guard that watched them. As the pony paced around looking at the tired group the only one not tired is Seeker. As she watches seeking many different future's and then waits to see what they want her friends to do.  The pony start's to speak.

"It's a wonderful day children the master's the lower of the God-Goddess wishes to see this."

A strange sprite-Bot comes down as they speak.

" Ah I see we have new children."

Said the male voice. As the female voice stay's silent for now.

" Now Patch speak for us and tell them what they must do."

Patch  taps his hoof. As  the Zebra and the others are given guns. As they all blink and then Patch's starts to speak with a laugh and smile. The Guard and Iron look at each other wondering what they choose.

" Now what you must do..The children stallion mare's are from various small town's Guttervile but these are one's they lost. Arbu as well ah it was rebuild after so long ago. Moon's Shadow and many many more. What you must do to prove yourselves you must kill them kill them all and then cut them and put their hooves their skin their fur on you. Then you will become The lost and your freedom of the soul will be said. Now choose children Choose."

Bear is the first to choose he aims and then looks to Seeker who gave him a look. As Seeker set her gun down. Same with Bear and then Cree lifted his seeing some of the one's he protected from the village he grew up with and set's the gun down and looks down as his face is full of sadness. Then Kipper brought her gun up her hooves having a bad shake. As she looks back to Seeker and seeker gave a sweet smile. Trusting Seeker she dropped the gun. Cross just dropped it anyway and smirked. Then they all look over to the Zebra and he sets the gun down and looks up at them with anger. Then they all look at Crystal as she is not sure what to do. her hands shaking as the gun seems to go from target to target. She wanted to live. She wanted to do the right choice.

" You know the right choice Crystal."

Kipper spoke softly

" The right choice is to let the weak fucker's live."

Bear said.

" Let them live....Crystal"

Cross calmly said.

" Let them fly and soar in the heart of all Crystal."

Cree said with a smile.

" Your choice the seeking is but in the way of it."

Seeker nodded

She kept shaking not sure what to do her eye's darting from the targets to her friends then to Seeker. Then to Iron and the Guard. Who seemed to be named Chrome dome. Then closes her eye's her heart fluttering as she then opens her eye's hearing her mother's recording again as her eye's finally come into focus and she sets down the gun's and she speaks loudly.

" Let us go we mean you no harm we have done nothing to you and here you steal souls from our home. That's why we came."

Then Patch tosses a gun to Iron-Claw and Chrome and they move to the targets and then stop. As the creatures from the orb don't even speak and just seem to be watching. As Iron and Chrome lift their gun's

" I can save these ponies!!! "

Shouted Crystal  then she said.

" Help me"

Chrome turned to look and speak.

" Many grrr have said this creature...

Chrome looks to iron and smiles. As Iron turns and looks at the group.

" But this...time..."

They aim the gun's at the group. Then turn and shoot at Patch blowing him to nothing but bits of bloody chunks. Then iron say's

" I believe you can."

As Seeker, Kipper, Cross, Cree, Bear, and Crystal  lift up their guns and the orb starts to speak.

" KILLL THEM!!!!"

Then Crystal  opens her bag and grabs the headset clicking the button. As many doors shatter and hooves stomping and feet running and guns cocking. It was time to escape as the war has been started. At least in the mind of the Seeker. The war between The Pact and The Lost souls...To bring back their freedom. Only now...all the group did was have to escape and live this battle. As smoke bombs and guns started going off. It turned out to be hell.

" Get ready to run...my friends...for our lives."
