The Relics of the Past

(A/N: Alright it screw it, I am still waiting for my draft from my beta, and for his section for all of you to read later on, but I am not waiting anymore

Here is the final arc for 173. I will explain more in the intermission, which will hold a slew of new info, so stay tuned for that

There may be some misspelling or other things, but I went over it a bit and hope I got most of it.)

Rainbow floated over the small western town, a bile of vomit rising to her mouth as she saw bodies of ponies laying all across the town. She landed next to a small foal, appearing to be hugging her mother that laid under her, but the small body remain still and unmoving.

Rainbow seethed in anger at the senseless loss of life. She raised her head, her eyes widening in surprise when she saw a strange looking statue standing in the middle of the road.

“You!” She shouted in anger, alerting her friends where she was. “I am about to make you into rubble, freak!”

Her powerful wings spread open and she bolted forward, a rainbow after image trailing behind her.

“Eat hoof!” As she closed in on her stone enemy, her eyes involuntary blinked before the impact. Rainbow expected to at least feel something, but felt nothing but air.

She open her eyes and yelped when a building came rushing up to her. She flipped over and landed on the side of the building, cracks forming on the wooden wall, groaning in protest for the forceful landing.

Rainbow looked 'up' from the wall, time slowing down for her as she raised her eyes in attempt to find her prey. Eyes, once filled in anger, was now filled in fear as she saw the same statue she attempted to shatter now standing 'above' her, its arms raised in attempt to grab her.

Her wings flared open, her legs pushing off the wall as she flew away from the statue. She turn back to look for it, only to see nothing. She flew up, above the houses, searching for the statue.

“Rainbow!” Twilight called up.

“Its here, Twilight!” Rainbow yelled, her eyes searching for the statue. “But I lost it.”

“How the heck did you lose it?!” Applejack shouted.

“It can teleport!” Rainbow landed before them, her head on a swivel, still attempting to find it.

“What?!” Twilight looked at Rainbow in shock. “That shouldn't be possible. Celestia never told us that it can use magic.”

“Well, maybe she left that part out.” Rainbow growled. “I was this close into destroying it, then whoosh! It vanished and then appeared behind me.”

“Girls!” Pinkie shouted, gaining their attention. “Follow me! My Pinkie sense is telling me it is this way!”

Pinkie led the charge, with the rest of the ponies following after her as she ran down the road, seemingly changing directions on the fly.

-Several minutes later-

173 hissed in frustration as it blurred from its spot to another. The pink one has been able to track it, how, it did not know, but it was going to be the first one it was going to kill when it got the chance. It hissed again when it realized that it managed to trap itself at a dead end. It turn only to freeze when 6 of the colorful animals appear at the end of the ally, trapping it.

“Here it is!” Pinkie cheered, the rest of the ponies watched the statue carefully, waiting for it move.

“I got this. Its new name is going to be Rubble.” Rainbow crowed, but before she take off, the sound of hooves came up from behind them. They started to turn, but a shout made them keep their focus on the statue.

“NO! KEEP LOOKING AT IT!” a deep voice echoed out.

“Braeburn?” Applejack turn to look at him. She found herself looking at him along with several other ponies, most of them with heavy chains and rope.

“Cousin Applejack?” Braeburn stared at her in confusion. “What are you-Gah! Never mind! Did you trap it?!”

“Uh...Yes?” Applejack blinked as Braeburn pushed past her.

“Alright boys, wrap it up!” Braeburn yelled. The ponies pushed past the six mares, quickly wrapping the chains and ropes around the statue. “We just got to wait for the cart to come back with the steel box, and this nightmare will be over.”

“Sure will be!” Rainbow cried out. “Watch as I turn this stupid statue into dust with my Rainbomb!”

“Wait...What?!” Baeburn watched as the rainbow mane pegasus took off. “NO! Get back down here. We need to catch this thing.”

“Don't worry Braeburn, Rainbow's little bomb move was able to take out the old barn back at home.” Applejack tried to calm her cousin, but he was looking around in panic.

“That is not the point! We need to corral this thing. We dropped a house on its head and it did nothing!” Baeburn cried out. “Tell your friend to-”

“WATCH OUT BELOW!” Rainbow came down faster than before, going supersonic as she zeroed in on the statue.

“WAIT, RAINBOW!” The explosion of colorful clouds and dust filled the air, causing all the ponies to cough.

Laughter echoed out as Rainbow flapped out of the dust cloud and landed before her friends and Braeburn, raising her forelegs over her head in victory. “Oh yeah, no one messes with Rainbow Dash!”

An angry hiss echoed out, cutting her off before she continue, along with a gasp and loud snap was heard. Rainbow slowly turn back around, looking at the heavy dust in surprise. Shouts began to echo out from the stallions in the dust cloud, the sounds of panic voices and hooves coming out.

“Duster? Duster where-Argh!”

“Roper? Oh Celestia no! NO! NO! N-SNAP!”

“HELP ME!”

“I CAN'T SEE!”

“EVERYPONY RUN!”

“ARGH!”

The Elements began to back away with fear at the shouts of pain and fear, terror spreading through them. Through the dust cloud, a dark figure was quickly making its way towards them. A panic looking stallion came running out, a look of relief spreading on his face, before he jerked to a stop.

His eyes widen, looking down to his body and saw the rope was still attached to his belt. He quickly tried to free himself, before the rope jerked again, dragging him backwards. His hooves scrambling for purchase, terror filled eyes looked up the Elements and Braeburn.

“Help me...” He whispered, before he was drag back into the heavy dust cloud, screaming the entire way before it was violently cut off. The Elements stood in fear, before Twilight step forward, her horn glowing as her pack open and the Elements of Harmony floated out and landed on her friends head.

“Now, while it is still trapped in the alley.”

The girls shook themselves before jumping to Twilight's side. The Elements reacting to their will, the 6 mares floated into the air, power bursting through as they launched a beam of light and colors.

For a few moment, there was nothing but silence as Twilight and the others floated back down to the earth.

“Its over....” Twilight sighed with relief as she looked down the alley, only seeing the bodies of the poor stallions in the alley way.

“No...its not.” Braeburn whispered.

“What do....” Applejack turn and fell silent, eyes open wide as she saw Braeburn staring down the statue that stood before him.

Twilight and the others could help but be shocked as they saw statue was now behind them. It looked worse for wear, slightly charred and a large crack across it's face and was hissing angrily at them.

“But...But...But how?!” Twilight stuttered out, fear filled her voice.

“Keep....Your....Eyes....On....It...” Braeburn gritted his teeth. “Do not blink, do not turn away, it is the only thing keeping us alive right now.”

So of course Twilight and the other did the exact opposite of what he just said. They took their eyes off of it to ready the Elements once more, while Braeburn blinked from the strain. Luck was on their side when the statue simply decided to leave, not wanting to go through the colorful burning again, it didn't know what will happen to itself, but decided to avoid the 6 and their strange abilities for now.

Braeburn collapsed, while Twilight and the others attempted to find the stone menace. Braeburn growled at the mares as they tried to find it.

“Pinkie? Do you feel it?” Twilight asked the party mare, but only a received a shake of the head.

“Nope. Sorry Twilight, Pinkie sense is quiet.” Pinkie said.

“Horsefeathers, we almost had it.” Rainbow cursed, on to hear Braeburn bark out in anger.

“Almost had it? ALMOST HAD IT!?” Braeburn roared at them, causing the 6 mares to shrink away from him in surprise. “YOU ALMOST HAD US KILLED! WE HAD IT, WE HAD IT IN OUR HOOVES AND YOUR STUPID FEATHERBRAIN FRIEND DECIDED THAT WASN'T ENOUGH!”

“Hey!” Rainbow leaned close to Braeburn, her eyes burning in anger. “At least I was-WHACK” Rainbow slumped to the ground, moaning in pain as Braeburn headbutted her harshly.

“Braeburn!” Applejack jumped between Rainbow and Braeburn, pushing her cousin back. “What the heck are you doing?”

“This stupid mare caused the death of several good stallions, because she wanted to destroy the damn thing.”

“Braeburn!” Everyone looked up to see Strong Heart leading a group of 20 ponies, all of them looking in several directions. Several of them were pulling a large cart with a steel box in the back. “Did you trap it?”

“No.” Braeburn growled, pointing at the mares beside him. “You can thank Team Wonder Fumbles here.”

“I say, we are only trying to help.” Rarity tried to defend themselves, but flinched at the dark look Braeburn gave her.

“Fat lot that did. 6 are dead because of you!” Braeburn spat at her.

“So...its not here.” Strong Heart whispered, she turn and nodded to the others. “Then we must go back to Town Hall, wait for another opportunity.”

“Braeburn, please, we have the Elements of Harmony, we can use them to fight this thing.” Applejack pleaded to her cousin.

A small cough gain everyone's attention, forcing them to look up to see Princess Celestia and Discord hovering above them. A rather severe look on her face as she looked to Twilight and the others. Twilight's ears flick back, shame filling her as the Princess's eye bore into her.

“Oh...Hello Princess.”

-Town Hall, Main Room-

All 6 mares stood before Celestia as she stared at them, she was clearly upset with them for not following her orders to stay in Ponyville. She walked down the line before she settled on Rainbow Dash, giving her one long look before she finally said something.

“I am extremely disappointed in you most of all, Rainbow Dash.” She simply said, before she walked down the hall, leaving it at that. Shame filled her, but as well as anger. She couldn't believe Princess Celestia was upset at them for trying to save the town.

“Disappointed!” Rainbow growled, Twilight looked at Rainbow in shock as she back talk to the Princess. “At least we are trying to do something, instead of sitting on our flanks!”

Celestia stop, anger began to bubble from deep within her. Her ponies didn't understand, they couldn't understand the danger that was being unleashed on the world. They were not trained into handling it, and even then, there was a good chance they could be killed anyways.

“So maybe you should be thanking us for at least trying to do something.” Rainbow growled, Discord, who was leaning against the wall, only shook his head at the multicolor mane pony. “Things could have been worse with Braeburn's stupid plan. I mean, capture it and seal it in a box, how stupid-!”

Celestia rounded on the pegasus, rushing towards the pony, in complete anger at Rainbow and the rest of the Element's foolishness and felt that the kiddy gloves that she used on her ponies was now at an end.

“STUPID?!” Celestia roared at her, causing Rainbow to back up to her friends, but Celestia stomped her way towards them. “YOU HAVE NO IDEA THE DANGER YOU OR THE REST OF YOU WERE IN! IF BAEBURN HAD NOT APPEARED, YOU WOULD OF BEEN KILLED BEFORE YOU EVEN HAD A CHANCE TO BLINK!”

“We had it trapped like a rat, Princess.” Applejack stuttered out. “We were going to use the Elements of Harmony on it. Then we could have been done and over with.”

“No it would not.” Celestia told them. “When you use the Elements, you close your eyes for a second, and that is all it takes for 173 to kill you all. It does not move when you look at it, but the moment you take your eyes off it, then your are opening yourselves up for an attack. And you. Will be. DEAD!”

Celestia stalked off for a moment, but rounded back and continue on her tirade at them. “Because of your...your...your idiocy and need to prove your superiority, several good stallion are now dead and the fault lays on not just on you, Rainbow Dash, but the rest of you as well.”

“I'm sorry...” Fluttershy whispered, but flinched when Celestia eyes bore into her.

“Sorry does not bring the dead back to life.” Celestia spat before stalking off, the doors slammed open before shutting just as violently. Discord only sighed before walking before the shamed mares.

“You, all of you, are idiots.” Discord sighed as he saw them lower their heads further. “Celestia has coddle all of you too much, but at the same time placed you on such a high pedestal that you believe you can do anything. The 'Magic Of Friendship' to see you through is a nice dream, but it is just that. A dream

Twilight scowled at Discord. “The Magic of Friendship allowed us to beat you.”

But Discord only snorted at this. “You beat an insane version of me, but a version that was child like and a moron. If you faced me here and now, you wouldn't even make it past floating off the ground before I beat you into submission.” His eyes gain a very cold look as he turn to look at them. “Believe me when I say that any agent of the Foundation would of killed all of you and not even think twice on it. That is the life that Celestia and myself live before the world ended. If we were to lose control of our abilities and it threaten the world, then we will understand why we needed to be killed.”

This statement caused all of the mares to shiver at the cold and uncaring tone. “Remember Twilight Sparkle and friends, the world was a much darker place before you even existed, and now the past is dragging itself out from the grave and into the open once more.” Discord walked towards the door, before pausing to look back at them. “Do not leave this building. Celestia and I will take care of 173 ourselves, we don't need some newbies getting killed cause of their eagerness.”

Discord slipped through doors silently, leaving the ever fable Elements of Harmony to their misery. Discord heard the voices of Celestia as she talked to Braeburn, Strong Heart, and Sheriff Silverstar.

“I see, a very good plan you have created Braeburn and Sheriff Silverstar, one that would of succeed if it was not for the Elements interference. If you allow me to enchant the steel to improve its durability, it will give me a chance to take the creature back to Canterlot to be study.” Celestia said, her horn shining brightly.

“Uh...No offense your highness, but shouldn't we destroy it?” Sheriff Silverstar asked, a question that cause Celestia to wince.

“I know that we must, but we do not know if destroying the statue will actually destroy whatever it is inhabiting it. For all we know, it will simply move to another object and continue on. Once we are sure that is the case, then we will destroy it, not before.” Celestia said quietly.

“We understand Princess.” Braeburn bowed before nodding to the others. “Come on, everypony. Lets give the Princess some room to work her magic.”

As the ponies left the room, Discord slide up next to Celestia, her horn glowing brightly as she performed her spells. “What to talk about it?”

Celestia sighed, lowering her head for a moment before she continue on her task. “I would of thought that showing my memories to them, they would understand that something associated with the Foundation that they had to be careful or be killed. Instead, they ignore it and rushed head long into something they had no idea on.”

“No offense Celestia, but I think you are to blame for that line of thinking.” Discord stated, causing Celestia to stare at him. “Now hear me out before you blow your top for me speaking the truth. I talk to several of the ponies around here. They more or less told me that the Elements of Harmony are heroines to Equestria. They faced off against Nightmare Moon, Insane Me, something called changlings, dragons, and a slew of other things. But only a few times were they ever in actual danger of being killed, I don't even think they realize that fact either. You put them on a level so high, they believe they could do anything if they stick together.”

Discord sighed, shaking his head ruefully before he continue on. “Granted, that is very good train of thought, but they have such a innocence view of the world that it is almost sad. While sticking together and 'Magic of Friendship' takes care of the things 'now', we know better, we know how the world works.” Discord pointed at themselves to prove a point. “They wouldn't make it past 3 days before they were capture, studied, and torn apart to find out how they work. Maybe the Foundation would find them, but then again, so could the GOC, or the Marshall, Carter, and Dark.”

Celestia stay silent, before she finally spoke up. “You're right. I placed so much faith in them, that when something like this comes up, and I forbid them to go forth and face it, they have the need to prove themselves to me. Because of this, and my foolishness into thinking that the past will stay buried, that I almost got them killed.”

“Its not your fault, Tia.” Discord started, but Celestia glared fiercely at him.

“Then who do I blame!” Celestia stared at him, tears threatening to spill from her eyes. “I can not blame my subjects, I cannot blame Twilight nor her friends. I can't even blame the Foundation for this. All of this, this country I rule, the subjects I lead, and the monsters that I fail to warn them about. It is all my fault. All of this, because I was too weak to face off against Nightmare!”

“Nightmare?” Discord looked at her in confusion, before a look of understanding. “The black sludge creature you told me about.”

“Yes...That creature.” Celestia muttered. “The same creature that infected Luna and made her into Nightmare moon. It was the same one that attacked me and attempted to control me.”

“Then blame that thing.” Discord said quietly, laying a paw on her shoulders.

“I can't....Its gone, dead.” Celestia whispered. “I only partially avenged humanity for their deaths, but I still remain. Until I am sure that the world and the solar system had no need for me, then I will continue on, the sun is nearly healed and in no threat to collapse. Then....I will end it.”

“End it?” Discord looked at her in confusion. “What do you mean by end it?”

Celestia lowered her head, before looking at Discord in the eyes. “I will finish what I started, I will pay for my sins, for my weakness that allow their deaths.”

“Celestia....What are you talking about?” Discord looked at her with worry.

“I will end my life.” Celestia whispered.

“What!?” Discord stared at her. “Are you insane!? Why would....”Discord trailed off, Celestia was weeping, crying and blubbering like a child.

“I don't sleep often...But when I do, I see their faces.” She cried. “I see them every time I close my eyes, smiling and laughing, living their lives before they screamed as one, their face burning and their bodies bursting into flames. Every man, women, and child dying at the same time....”

Discord stared at his friend, unable to believe she was able to hide this from him. Celestia was allowing her walls to break down as she weep before him, unable to hid the misery and anger at herself. “You...You never told me.”

“I didn't want to lose you.” She whispered. “I didn't want you to think I was a monster.”

“I don't.” Discord wrapped his arms around Celestia, hugging her tightly. “You're my friend.”

“I'm a mass murderer, a genocide killer, and a someone that is nearing the end of her life.” Celestia coughed out. She saw Discord's confused look. “When I said that the sun is in no danger of collapsing, I mean that it is nearly healed. In about a years time, I will release the control I have over it.”

Discord felt his world get smaller. In one year, Celestia will kill herself, to finally stop the nightmares and avenge Humanity. Celestia walked out of his grasp, her horn shining brightly as she continue her work on the steel box.

“Don't try to stop me, Discord.” She said quietly as she worked, her eyes focused on the spell. “I made my peace a long time ago.”

-Appleloosa, Evening-

Discord walk the dusty road of Appleloosa, the sun slowly setting in the west. The past events pushed at the back of his mind, he need to focus on the now.

From what he gathered from Celestia, the Lunatic Discord was able to perform veritable feats of Chaos magic: transformation, popping his limbs off with ease, temporary mind control and alteration, and a slew of other things.

Sadly for Discord, he didn't even have half of the stuff the Lunatic one had. Still, it was more than enough to capture 173.

Discord stop at a intersection, looking around. “Alright you stone freak! Here I am!”

For a moment, nothing but silence met his ears, but then he grin when heard the sound of something moving swiftly.

“Thats right, come and get me.” Discord grin as he closed his eyes. He felt his being grasped and his head turn quickly. “HA!”

Discord's eyes snapped open, watching the burnt statue holding his head in its arms. “We meet again freak. Oh....that looks painful, run into magical jewelry lately?”

The stone menace hissed angrily at Discord, almost as if it was trying to answer the question.

“Hmm...Shame about that.” Discord responded, shrugging his shoulder's awkwardly due to his position. “Oh well, nothing you can do about that. By the way, I hope you like the cage we are about to introduce you to. Real sturdy stuff.”

The Statue hissed again, wanting to shut the stupid creature up.

“Oh yeah, real nice too and-” Discord blinked, and the statue rip his head off, just to shut him up. As Discord's body slump to the ground, the Statue gave a pleasing hiss, before Discord's voice brought it back to reality. “So that is how he did it. Go figure, good thing I figure that out or this would have been really messy.”

The Statue was shocked, as far as Discord can tell. The body jumped back to its feet and walked over to his head, placing it on his neck and spun the head several times to screw it back in. The Statue made no attempt into flee, still trying to figure out what just happen.

“Well, now that you had your fun, let me have mine!” Discord growled, a smirk on his face as his claws glowed with power. He slammed them into the ground, splitting the ground around 173 and forcing the house away from it. That wasn't all Discord did, a red glow came from the cracks, before magma came bubbling up, surrounding 173 in the intense heat. Discord blinked several times, watching as 173 appear from one spot to another, attempting to flee. A red glow on its legs indicating that it tried to cross, but failed miserably. “Neat trick right? I wish I could throw you in the hot stuff, but I got to keep you intact. Hey, Tia, come and get it!”

Celestia landed behind 173, a large steel box floating behind her. “Hello 173.” She said quietly. 173 hissed loudly, attempting to scare her away. “I am no longer such silly foal, 173. You hardly scare me, you may be able to kill me if I was inattentive, but scary you are not.”

Almost to prove this point, Celestia took her regal horse shoes off, and calmly walked across the hot magma as if it was nothing, before standing before 173. No worse for wear. “It is time to get back in the box. You time on the outside is over.” Her horn glowed, lifting 173 and placing him in the enchanted steel box and sealing it shut. Immediately the steel box began to rang out with slams, 173 trying to bash its way out of the box.

“Oh, shut up!” Discord kicked the box, giving a smile to Celestia. “Good job, Tia.” She gave a small cough, pointing at the boiling magma with her hoof. “Oh...Oops.” He snapped his fingers and the magma receded, and the ground slowly closed itself back up.

The sounds of hooves came up from behind them, both turning to see the Elements rushing up to them. Discord only sighed, shaking his head. “They never listen.”

“Princess!” Twilight looked around, trying to find 173.

“Twilight....Why are you here?” Celestia refuse to look at them, unable to keep her anger at their seemingly lemming like thoughts.

“We want to help, not just help too, but kick this things butt!” Rainbow punched the air with her hooves.

Discord only knocked on the steel box next to him. “Too late. We already got him.”

“You...you do?” Twilight look at him with surprise. Discord smirked before leaning next to the box.

“Hey, 173. Who drew your face? A specially challenged child who happen to be color blind as well.” Twilight and the others shrink back as the box began to shake violently, angry hissing echoing out from the box. “Yeah, I am pretty sure we have it.”

Twilight and the others lower their heads at the news. “Oh...We wanted to help.”

“No Twilight, you didn't.” Celestia said quietly. “You and your friends wanted to prove yourselves to me, to show me that you are able to handle it.”

“But-” Applejack started, but Celestia held up her hoof to silence her.

“You may have came here to save your family, Applejack. But tell me truthfully, would you come here anyways, despite my wishes.” Applejack squirmed for a moment, before giving in and nodding her head. “Twilight, while you and your friends a very capable ponies, even on par with my guards, but you are not ready to face the things that humanity had to live with.”

“Remember what I said. 173 is at the bottom of the totem pole, it only gets darker the higher you go.” Discord said.

Celestia was about to say more, before the sound of clapping could be heard behind her, she turn around to see what was making the noise. Her eyes narrow in anger as she saw a familiar form walking towards her.

“343.” She hissed, her wings flaring and horn glowing brightly.

“Aww......Is that how you great an old friend, Celestia.” the white suit man walked towards them, a smile on his face. Rarity swoon at his suit, seeing such beautiful white suit.”

“Oh, such a handsome suit you are wearing....And that voice!” Rarity cooed, which the 343 only smiled and bowed his head towards her.

“Oh, it is so good to see Mr. Morgan Freeman's form and voice can still woe the females, no matter the form.” the one called 343 smiled at this, causing Rarity to blush at the statement.

“Leave my subjects alone, 343.” Celestia stomped towards him, angered directed at him as he tried to worm his way into the fold. “I don't know where you have been, but you will not guide my ponies into self-destruction like you did the humans.”

“Oh...” The deep voice looked at her with surprise. “Your ponies? They belong to you? I mean, such a way of-”

“ENOUGH!” The Royal voice screamed out. “Say your peace and leave, before I force you to.”

343 only chuckled, shaking his head at Celestia. “Why? I mean, I wanted to visit my favorite genocidal murderer and her bumbling sidekick.” Discord growled at this, his claw extending from his lion's paw.

“Alright you formless bastard, you want a piece of me!” Discord growled, his magic glowing brightly. So you can imagine his discomfort when he saw 343 smile grow bigger.

“Oh, Dissy Dissy, you should really calm down.” 343 raised his hand, forming it into a pistol, pointing it at Discord's head. “Or give yourself a headache.”

The moment the glow began to overlap his shoulders, a sharp pain flashed through his mind, causing the magic to expel itself.

All he saw was deranged white painted man laughing manically at the man dressed as a bat who held him.

“Well Batsy, should I tell you my secret? How I was able to gather all my things for all of this, the secret behind the Joker Venom, and why I am all kookie!”

The man glared and leaned forward. “I don't care, Joker. You are going away, back to Arkham.”

Joker only smiled and laughed, his head leaning back as he attempted to breath from laughing to hard. “Oh but Batsy, I really want to tell you! He is the reason I am like this, why I cause all this....this...CHAOS! He loves it!”

“You? You work alone Joker, other villains can barely tolerate you. Who can be working for you.” Batman growled, his grip tightening.

“Oh, he doesn't work for me. I work for him. He open my mind to the possibilities!” Joker crowed.

“Who is it.”

“Not who, but what!” Joker laughed. “He is my father, maybe he is my mother as well, but he appeared before me, with snap of cannon! He saw the potential in me and gave me a way to unleash it!”

“WHO. IS. HE.”

“Why, he is all around us, especially between you and me! The Discord of our greatness!”

Discord blinked, shaking his head, a blaring white noise filling his ears. He turn to see Celestia calling out to him, but the white noise canceled out her voice.

“What did you do to him?” Celestia rounded back to 343, growling dangerously at him.

“Me? I didn't do a thing. I did warn him that his magic will give him a headache.” 343 only smiled. “Really though, I want to talk about right now. I am surprise this town is not a ghost town. I am also surprise that your precious Elements of Harmony are still alive. After all, 173 is not exactly an easy foe to take down.”

“Leave us. Take your words and go.” Celestia said, “I will not ask again.”

343 eyes narrowed at this, crossing his arms as he look at Celestia. “I wouldn't make threats Celestia, especially to a God.”

“You are not a God, just a vicious and conniving creature that uses its ability to warp the minds of everyone around itself.” Celestia growled. “You may fool other beings, but you don't fool my eyes nor Discord's. Leave this world and never come back.”

“I wish I could.” 343 sneered. “But thanks to your little episode, I can't. I can't change my form and I can't use a good portion of my power. Your filthy magic covers the entire system, and for whatever reason, it screwed with my ability to leave it. So I am stuck here, but I am here for another reason.”

“And....and what is that?” Discord coughed, shaking his head.

“Oh, glad you can join us.” 343 snark at him. “I am here to give you a warning.”

“What warning?” Celestia stared hard him.

“Warning that I am going to kill you.” 343 smiled. “I was waiting for this world to end by its own hand, and I was going to sit back and watch, but then you had to ruin it all.”

“That is why?!” Discord could help but stare at 343 in amazement. “That is why you are going to kill Celestia, cause she ruined your fun?”

“Eh, I put a lot of effort into humanity to put it where it is at. Religion, politics, and slew of other things before it finally break apart into total war. Thousands of years down drain due to you.” 343 only shrug, giving a small grin at his response. “What can I say, I am spoiled brat that didn't get to watch the end of his cartoon show.”

“You are crazy.” Discord muttered out loud.

“So says the pot.” 343 chuckled. When Discord only gave him a confused look. “You don't remember do you? Oh well, its not my place to kiss and tell. Goodbye Celestia, Discord. I will have fun killing you later. Maybe it will make up for all the things you ruin. But, I got things to do, people see, monsters to free.” 343 slowly turn to the nearest wall and walked through it, his laughter echoing around everyone.

“Princess....” Fluttershy voice pierced the silence that fell over them. “Who...Who was that human?”

Celestia continue to stare hard down the road, refusing to look away in case 343 return. “That, Fluttershy, was the self proclaim God, otherwise known as SCP-343. A being of immense power that he can change the very reality around him.”

“Don't forget the ego.” Discord muttered. “He so full of himself that it makes anyone that was egotistical themselves look impotent in comparison. And he despises us with a passion.”

“Why?” Pinkie looked around, trying to find the creature.

“Because we outed him as a fake.” Discord answered. “For whatever reason, all me and Celestia see is this white formless humanoid creature. Doc Bright told us that maybe because we come from another realm of reality, his abilities fail to blind our eyes. Doc Bright is only person in the world that can hide his thoughts from him, so when he introduced us to him, he believed that we are simply another product of the world.”

Celestia smiled at the memory, when Doctor Bright got the biggest smile on his face, and simply said 'Got you.' and left. “Yes, 343 insistently told the Foundation that he could not see beings from another reality nor interact with them.”

“Because he did not 'create' them.” Discord emphasize with his claws, rolling his eyes.

“Doctor Bright did not believe him, so when the chance to prove him wrong came up, he took it. No one from our site ever met 343, nor did anyone from his site meet us. So the moment he introduced us and 343 greeted us, it proved to Doctor Bright that 343 was lying to them all along about being the all knowing 'God'.” Celestia sighed, looking at the sun setting in the distance. Twilight look at the sun, before looking at her teacher, her eyes widening.

“Uh....Princess? Are you lowering the sun?” Twilight asked, Celestia only gave Twilight a long look before she walked past her.

“I wonder...” Celestia whispered to Discord as he walked next to her.

“Wonder what Celestia?” Discord gave a smirk as he asked

“I wonder if Twilight's mind will still be in one piece when I reveal that I don't lower the sun.” Celestia sighed.

“Don't you control?” Discord gave a laugh.

“I control how hot it gets, not move it willy nilly like a toy.” Celestia grumbled. “The amount of destruction that would cause....”

“Oh? And spinning a planet is easier?”

“Much easier than you think.”

The unicorn stared hard at the corpse before him, unable to make head or tails of it.

“What are you? Some sort of monkey or something?” He gently prod the skull with his hoof. He could tell the being wore some clothes, but there were nothing but rags after being buried for so long.

4 months ago, a group of miners found a buried ruins while they were looking for ores. Wanting to keep it it quiet, the wealthy unicorn paid the miners to not say a word, paying them double to keep working.

Since then, he had gather dozens of items, books, and strange objects that perform a variety of functions.

The insulting silver box gave him a good chuckle from time to time. Fortunately for him, his mental capabilities protect his mind from intrusions from said box, thus giving the box less to work with.

The unicorn was called down to the mine because the workers found a body. Or what was left of one.

“Hey what is that on his chest?” one of the miners pointed out. The unicorn gently moved the remaining clothes and saw a beautifully crafted necklace.

“Whoa, that will fetch a good price on the market.” One of the miners chuckled.

“Indeed it will.” The unicorn chuckled. “Sorry ole chap, but I think I will take this.”

He tug on the necklace, causing the skeleton's neck to snap in half. Most of the miner groan in disgust, but otherwise remain silent.

“What do you think boys? Will it look good on me?” The unicorn laughed as he place the chain around his neck. The laugh stop and the unicorn's eyes glazed over before he shook his head, rearing up on his hindlegs and holding his head with his hoof.

“Uh...Boss?”

“Boss?” the unicorn blinked, looking at the miners. “Oh ha ha. Doctor Bright dies and everyone decides to dress up the animals and let them run around before sending in someone to pick me up.”

“Animals?” The miners looked at each other in confusion. This cause the unicorn to blink once before shrugging.

“Okay, that is new. Did we find a new SCP when I was out?”

“Uh....Golden? Are you okay?” the lead miner walked up to him.

“Who the hell is Golden....What the hell is this? This isn't a human body?!” the unicorn growled, his horn glowing, which stop as his eyes trailed up to his forehead. “What the fuck is that.”

“Golden... I think you need to lay down.”

“My name is not Golden! My name is Doctor Jack Bright and demand you take me to idiots that sent you here!”

“You sent us here.”

“GAH!”

Fuck it, I am done until my beta gets back to me. I will work on the next chapter as soon as I am done with Dark Space, which I am working on once more.

Oh and 2 more things.

Who is ready for Season 3!?
And who can tell me about the hateful star or sun or something? It is on the SCP site, but I couldn't find it again. I was going to use it. To anyone who finds it "FIRST" I will send them a rough draft of the chapter itself!
