The passengers of the plane stepped out, some of them simply stopping before they plane moved on, and others happy to finally be home. One was completely unsure how to feel, with what he saw, what he did, the yellow wirewolf with the red right eye and blue green pupils left eye was at least a little glad he was home.

'Back in Maretropolis. Going into that recruitment center wasn't as bad as I thought it was.' Alfreda grabbed his bag before walking through the airport doors taking in a whiff of Maretropolis air once again. He looked around and smiled at how it looked, new, older, moving into an age of technology, then looked in a window seeing himself. He was the same, but he had some new scratch marks here and there, his snout having a five o'clock shadow that made him chuckle. '2 and a half years away from home and I never thought a shave once in a while wouldn't hurt.'

Alfreda walked down the street giving a passing glance to the Old Shampoo Factory before bumping into someone and tripping down with them.

"Oh sorry my bad, I was thinking about the past and got lost." he apologized gathering up some of his things that feel out of his bag before looking at who he bumped into who was helping him gather his things causing him to freeze up.

"Oh no I'm so sorry." The yellow coated pink maned pegasus replied, her voice quiet but still completely audible. "I was doing the same and should've paid more attention. I'm Fluttershy." Fluttershy then held out her hoof as Alfreda zipped up his bag.

"Gerald Tangler." Alfreda said cautiously shaking it. "You look familiar. Have we met?"

"Oh no if I met you I would certainly know you. I'm sorry if that sounded like an insult."

"Not a problem, you wouldn't happen to know someone named Saddle Rager or Alfreda, would you?"

Fluttershy seemed to seize up before calming herself down shaking a little. "N-n-no. I k-k-know Saddle Rager, b-but not that other guy."

"Ok. Here's my number." Alfreda gave her a card with his number on it before getting up. "See ya around."

He walked away as his brain worked at Fluttershy's appearance. He climbed down the ladder into the sewer then walked deep into the tunnel until he was encompassed in darkness. He clapped his hands and lights hummed to life, revealing the Wolf Den, all the technology stolen from Stardust Industries and Selene Industries fashioned to fit in the cave, his stuff strewn around the room to make it feel like home.

"Password: Buried Alive." Alfreda shouted.

"Welcome back home Alfreda." A voice replied at the rest of the cave glowed to life. "I had done as you requested before being shipped off to Military Academy and planted the spy drones in the Power Ponies and Mighty Machines Headquarters. As well as upgrading the Wolf Den's defense systems."

"Thank you S.A.I.R.A.H." Alfreda replied. He stole the artificial intelligence from Selene Industries and made the acronym from Self Aware Intelligence Ready And Helpful(Not his best acronym but it was his first who could blame him?) "Could you pull up any records you could find on this Mare I met name Fluttershy, then bring up anything we have on Saddle Rager along with your updated files?"

"Sure thing." S.A.I.R.A.H. did so allowing Alfreda to looking at the pictures of the two mares, suppressing a shudder as he looked back a picture of Saddle Rage transformed. He continued looking at the two before he looked over a Lab report that was released the day he was born outside of all the reports of a wave of white light. A mare matching the description of Fluttershy was drenched in serums they were experimenting with, but he couldn't read the rest as it was blacked out along with her name. However it was all Alfreda needed.

"Not a very good disguise Saddle Rager, or should I call you, Fluttershy?!" He shouted.

"Alfreda who are you talking to?"

"Myself, I'm going to have so much fun messing with her. Do you have a list of Fluttershy's friends and family, I feel a kick of cracking secret identities coming along."

"Generating it to print right now."

"Sweet. I see a folder here marked blackmail, what exactly did you find?"

"Alfreda I wouldn't open that." S.A.I.R.A.H. replied sounding concerned.

"Come on what's the worst that could happen." Alfreda clicked on one labeled 'New Year's Eve'. It showed Zapp's bedroom with the mare in name busting in with Timberwolf, both incredibly drunk and making out.

"C'mon Rainbow, they'll judge us." Timberwolf said through his slurred mouth, his knees shaking signaling his almost complete loss of motor functions with the amount of cider swimming through his brain.

"No judgements here." Rainbow replied smashed from here to halfway across the planet. "5 minutes to midnight, might as well go out with a bang."

"Ha, Phrasing." They made out some more before falling on Zapp's bed, Zapp taking off her clothes.

Alfreda began to feel unnerved watching the video. "I don't like this, I don't like- AH! That should not be happening! Stop the video! Stop the video!" S.A.I.R.A.H. stopped the video as Alfreda shuddered. "I really wish I took health class in high school before I shipped off."

"You were in high school?" S.A.I.R.A.H. asked.

"Yep, not sure why I'm not right now. They said I was so advanced I passed within a month. Felt like a week compared to the war. But for now, it is a time of relaxation, and vengeance." Alfreda then walked toward the ladder getting out a bag he stored labeled. 'For revenge against Saddle Rager'.

"Where are you going?"

"To Do something I should've done before I got shipped out."

Fluttershy slept peacefully in her bed, managing to shake off her encounter with Gerald, a lot of terrible emotions were resurfaced and she had to have the talk about what happened with Alfreda with the girls to calm herself. Gears stopped by for their date and they talked a little about it letting her put her mind at ease. A sudden noise echoed in the room, her eyes shot wide open as she looked around unnerved by it. A ghostly moaning began to emanate to which she looked straight forward and was petrified at what she saw.

It was Alfreda, but was floating above the front of her bed, but the floating didn't terrify her, it was his appearance. Alfreda's body looked like someone dug it up and dragged on the ground to here with a pipe sticking out of his back, once in a while leaking out some kind of substance. His left arm was mangled as if thrown into a trash compactor, his legs mangled and twisted like a deformed pretzel, his right foot torn in two, but in a way that someone grabbed it by two toes and pulled in opposite directions. His chest was bent and had multiple cracks in it, his chest cavity however was open fro the world to see his ribcage and his still beating heart that glowed an unholy read. His head was somewhat intact, if you ignored the face his jaw was off one of his hinges and his left eye was dangling from it's socket, leaving only his blood red right eye to stare daggers into Fluttershy's soul.

"Remember me Saddle Rager?..." Alfreda asked, his voice sounding distorted with a screech like writing on a chalkboard with a glass shard, and his jaw moving in a disturbing way as he spoke.

"A-a-a-alfr-fr-freda?! B-b-but you're d-d-d-Dead!" Fluttershy audibly whispered, too terrified to speak clearly or in a higher tone.

"You would've liked that wouldn't you? For the guilt of what I did to just fade away like a bad hangover. Well I never forget."

"W-w-what d-d-do you want?!"

"Just one little thing: TO HAUNT YOU TO YOUR FINAL DAYS." Alfreda yelled, some liquid leaking from the pipe again as if the pipe threw up, and then he began to float towards the bed letting out the ghostly moan again.

"P-p-p-please! K-k-k-k-keep away!!" Fluttershy begged literally shaking with terror.

"I'm a little teapot short and stout, here is my handle and here is my spout..." Alfreda sang eerily, gesturing to his left then his right arm respectively.

Fluttershy panting in terror clutching at her chest before her eyes rolled up and she fell off the bed. Alfreda made a quick look and sighed as she had simply fainted out of sheer terror.

"Damn I'm good." Alfreda said to himself dropping his ghost voice.

"Fluttershy? Are you okay?" A voice rang out.

"Shit." Alfreda whispered before flying out the window he came in just as Rainbow Dash and Twilight opened the door and gasped seeing Fluttershy's unconscious body.

"Fluttershy!" Rainbow yelled as Twilight grabbed Fluttershy and checked for a pulse.

"She's fine, just unconscious." Twilight assured her.

"What happened? I woke up to the sounds of something reciting a nursery rhyme then a heard a thud come from here."

Twilight looked around spotting the open window and the liquid on the floor. She walked closer and examined it seeing it was oil.

"It was probably one of the guys, there's some oil on the floor, must've hit his head while leaving." Twilight took out her phone and called the only one she knew would definitely do this.

"It's 2 in the morning, I'm actually sober, and I'm having out with my grandmother on the country side, what do you want?" The voice asked.

"Terry I know you came into Fluttershy's room and decided to terrify her into fainting."

"What? Twilight if I was gonna scare her, it would be on Nightmare Night, and even that Masque would at least help in my effort, and he's on the other side of town doing a late night patrol."

"Well there's oil on the floor, you're the only wirewolves in the city that have access to the Power Ponies HQ."

"Not for the window of the floor with living accommodations for us. Those things are the basic open and close ones. You were so confident in the cameras you forgot to factor into burglars with camouflage tech coming in through the windows. And maybe check the security tapes?"

"Huh." Twilight said taken back by Terry's breakdown of what must've happened, not who, but at least how, and this was the guy who once tied in a debate with a cow for Trottingham Mayor after crashing into a Frat House there. "Thank you Terry?"

"You're welcome, now if you excuse me, me and Nana are about to play Scrabble, I need my a game because she is a beast at this. But today I break the streak!" Terry then hung up the phone leaving Twilight confused.

"I'm going to take this oil and have the lab examine it, you make sure Fluttershy's okay." Twilight walked out of the room as Fluttershy came to then clung to Rainbow Dash as Angel woke up and hopped to comfort his owner.

"Rainbow! Oh G-goodness it was so horrible!"

"Calm down I'm here. What happened?"

"I was sleeping when a sound woke me up and I looked and s-s-saw..." Fluttershy began to sob as she recounted the experience.

"I'm here for you Fluttershy, who was it I'll clobber him."

"That's it, it w-w-was Alfreda."

Alfreda chuckled a little as he removed the pip from his back and allowed his wounds to heal as he donned a blazer to hide the process. "That was better then I thought." He spoke into his watch.

"I take it you're satisfied with tormenting her?" S.A.I.R.A.H. asked.

"Yep. And even if they try to figure out if it was me I made sure my grave looked untouched."

"What if they decide to dig it up?"

"Way ahead of you, I found a wirewolf cadaver and threw it in, then I coated it in my blood until it was soaked like a stuffed sponge. Felt a little lightheaded after but it was worth it."

"What now?"

"Well I need some money, I was thinking of after I finished decrypting the secret identities I'd trying out bank robbing, see how that pans out, hopefully no pain, then just hook with Diablo Body or whatever to get ahead here."

"Diablo Corps? The most feared mob leader in the underworld. I would recommend you start small."

"Why not start there as I plan? I can't die at all apparently as evidenced when I panicked in Yakyakistan after looking in that house, briefly went undercover, almost fully defected, then chickened out and came back, being riddled with bullets for my betrayal from the enemy."

"Hello!" A voice said surprising Alfreda as he was about to climb down the ladder.

"I'll be down in a second." Alfreda said before hanging up and looking to see who greeted him.

It was a biped creature, plum purple in skin. He had long arms that were lean with what could've been muscle, but the way the sun shined on it, it seemed to be made out of some kind of goopy substance. His legs were half the length of his arms, and he sported a pair of classic curved goat horns on his head, his face only sporting a mouth which was smiling with one fanged tooth sticking out, and green eyes with red pupils.

"Hello he who talks to his hand." It said with a welcoming tone.

"Uh hi, name's Gerald Tangler."

"Blotch is the son of Slobber, Blotch had just moved here."

"Oh you're one of those third person guys aren't you?"

"Yes deathless yellow Alfreda wolf."

"What?!" Alfreda yelled in surprise.

"Blotch knows who you are, as he is a... how do you say, space time traveler."

"So you're from the future?"

"But from another universe. Blotch and his family of Blotlings moved here for the more simple life."

"I have nothing else to do today, mind telling me about it."

"Blotch cannot tell you about the time when he left you, but Blotch can tell about how his family came to be."

"Oh~ even better." Alfreda sat down with a smile on his face.

"In the bowels of Two Greats Grandpapa Phantom we gained minds when he visited The Old Country, we wished to leave the dark and smelly world. So while he slept after eating the world, under the cover of darkness we traveled across his stomach in boat made from whale bones, yes? But as the eldest of the children Blotch had to care for Great Opa Sweeper during our journey across the Thinner Sea that was the stomach acids. When suddenly A giant White Seer Blood Cell arose from the acids with it's one evil eye, blinking and blinking looking at Blotch like a sandwich! Am I boring you?" Blotch asked looking at Alfreda, who was actually memorized listening to the story.

"Hell no! I love every bit of this go on!"

"The Seer Blood Cell gurgled loudly like my father after eating elk. So me and my father's brothers had to devour the Seer to escape down into the intestines and through the back exit of Two Greats Grandpapa allowing us to traverse into Canterlot where another Phantom captured us. But that is another story."

"Aw man. I was actually getting interested in your tales."

"Then allow Blotch to tell you the tale of the shy girl who saved her future boyfriend from three evil sirens with their pet cat."

"Ok now I'm interested." Alfreda said and then sat there listening to Blotch's tale.

Author's Note

Two chapters to go. Than an epilogue.

Blotch is an OC that will appear later in one of my future stories but I felt it would be fun to have him make a little cameo.

Yes Diablo Corps is me but he doesn't have a vast impact on the story, just a little easter egg.
