Scar in Equestria...
The search begins with a song or two.
Previous ChapterNext Chapterchapter 6, The search begins.
When they arrived at Canterlot all guards present glared at him. Bad choice because Scar hates it when others glare at him.
"Would you stop glaring at me."
"Guards, get back to your work. Scar here will be here Sometimes because i decided to help him."
The guards continued their work but there was still the occasional glare.
"So how are we going to find my friends the fastest?"
"I know what they look like so i'l use a search spell."
"I've been wondering Scar, i noticed a lot of machines in your memories but no magic at all."
"Well that's easily explained Twilight. My world doesn't have magic. It only exists in stories, myths and legends."
Twilight was a bit shocked by this but she expected it. Why else would there be so much technology in that world.
"We use technology instead of magic. Humans have also improved their weapons. As an example the gun: it's like a minature cannon, but it can hold more ammunition and the cannon bals fly ten times faster. In theory it's one of the most used weapons in my world."
"Wow."
"Scar, i have located two of your friends. They are in the middle of Everfree forest and it looks like there is a lot of... music? I also sense a lot of what you called Hunters?"
"Sounds like Runner and Mantis to me. Looks like they gathered some Hunters after all. We'l be needing food, a map, a compass and some water."
"What about Seawing?"
"I believe princess Celestia will know what to do. I don't want to bring Seawing into more danger."
"I shall take care of her while the seven of you look for Runner and Mantis."
"Oh! I still need to tell Spike i'm going to be gone for a while!"
Twilight ran of to write a letter to Spike.
"Who is Spike?"
"Spike is a cute,adorable,funny,nice and little baby dragon! He is Twilight's number one assistance!"
"Okay... I'l go pack the stuff we need. Does anyone of you know how to read a map?"
"You can't read? *GAAAAAAASSSSSP* That means if i sent you an invatation you won't know it's an invitation and you won't know there's a party and and and...."
"Breathe, Pinkie, breathe."
"*GAAAAAASSSSSP* I can read maps!"
"Good."
Half an hour later.
"Do we have everything?"
"I made a checklist and we have evrything."
"We'l let's go then."
With one big flash the princess teleported the seven of them to the edge of Everfree.
"Well let's start with heading towards the center."
They started walking with Twilight in front reading the map. Pinkie was too busy thinking about how to give Scar and his friends a party.
"I hope they like cake. Should i use streamers? Maybe i should bake some muffins!"
Pinkie's rambling went on for another five minutes till Scar stopped to listen to something.
"I think i hear something. Follow me."
"What do you mean? I don't hear anything."
"My hearing is twice as good as yours so it's no surprise you can't hear it."
"Oh."
After another five minutes the ponies heard it too. It sounded like a mix of different kinds of music. There was Jazz, Rock, Techno, Classic, Dubstep and singing.
"I think we're getting close to them."
"Hey Scar! Long time no see! Too long actually!"
From the shadows stepped a Hunter with a green hoodie with blue flames on it. His eyes were hidden under the cap of his hoodie.
"Runner, i knew we were getting close to you when i heard the music."
"You aint heard nothing yet! And you're being pretty rude. Aren't ya going to introduce me to your friends here?"
"You're right. This bouncing pink one is Pinkie Pie. The orange one with the hat is Applejack. The purple one is Twilight Sparkle. The blue one is Rainbow Dash and according to her she's the fastest flyer of Equestria. The shy one with the yellow coat is Fluttershy. The white one with the stylish mane is rarity."
"I never took ya for a pony person."
"Haha, very funny. And now back to the serious stuff. You and i are send to this world thanks to some weird spirit of chaos and our friend were send to but to other random places."
"Really? That's great! The more the merrier!"
"This world is better than the old one but we still need to find everyone."
"I know i know, but now it's time for a little song!"
"Fine."
"We must follow me!"
"He is almost like the human version of Pinkie Pie!"
Twilight was clearly worried about that little fact.
"Hey hunts! It's time for a little song!"
Six hunters came from the shadows and they all were wearing black hoodie with purple flames on it.
"Everyone, meet the brothers Hunt. The brothers Hunt, meet everyone."
After a bit of walking they reached the source of the music. It was in and around the old castle.
"But this is the princesses old castle! You can't use that as your home!"
Twilight didn't like the fact that the old castle was now a home for hundreds of hunters.
"And why not?"
"Because, cause, because... Never mind."
"Good!"
They entered a building that looked like a bar. Inside were a lot of hunters talking, drinking and other stuff.
"Boys, get to your places. It's time for a song."
"Is it going to be a story Boss?"
"Yep. And what a story it is. A tragic tale of romance, passion and a murder most fowl."
Meanwhile the brothers Hunt were ready. Three of them were at the instruments. One of those three was at the piano, another one at the saxophone and the third at the strings. The other three were on the podium. Runner was also on the stage.
"This is gonna be good." One of the other hunters said.
The music started.
Runner: Hey! Give me a listen you corpses of cheer
Leastles of you who still got an ear
I'll tell you a story make a skeleton cry
Of our own jubiliciously lovely corpse bride
The brothers Hunt: Die, die we all pass away
But don't wear a frown cuz it's really okay
And you might try 'n' hide
And you might try 'n' pray
But we all end up the remains of the day
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Runner: Well our girl is a beauty known for miles around
When a mysterious stranger came into town
He's plenty good lookin', but down on his cash
And our poor little baby, she fell hard and fast
When her daddy said no, she just couldn't cope
So our lovers came up with a plan to elope
The brothers Hunt: Die, die we all pass away
But don't wear a frown cuz it's really okay
And you might try 'n' hide
And you might try 'n' pray
But we all end up the remains of the day
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
(instrumental)
Runner: So they conjured up a plan to meet late at night
They told not a soul, kept the whole thing tight
Now her mother's wedding dress fit like a glove
You don't need much when you're really in love
Except for a few things, or so I'm told
Like the family jewls and a sachel of gold
Then next to the grave yard by the old oak tree
On a dark foggy night at a quarter to three
She was ready to go, but where was he
The brothers Hunt: And then?
Runner: She waited.
The brothers Hunt: And then?
Runner: There in the shadows, was it the man?
The brothers Hunt: And then?
Runner: A little heart beat sooo loud
The brothers Hunt: And then?
Runner: And the baby, everything went black
Runner: Now when she opened her eyes she was dead as dust
Her jewels were missin' and her heart was bust
So she made a vow lyin' under that tree
That she'd wait for her true love to come set her free
Always waiting for someone to ask for her hand
When out of the blue comes this groovy young man
Who vows forever to be by her side
And that's the story of our own corpse bride
The brothers Hunt: Die, die we all pass away
But don't wear a frown cuz it's really okay
And you might try 'n' hide
And you might try 'n' pray
But we all end up the remains of the day
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Runner: Yeeeaaaah!
All the hunters started clapping and cheering and Pinkie joined in. Twilight was amazed at how they used the instruments.
"That was interesting."
"Hey Scar! Why don't you sing a song?"
"Why?"
"I remeber hearing you sing a song you called 'Awoken'. It sounded good and you should lighten up!"
"Fine."
The brothers Hunt took out some more modern looking instruments and Scar got onto the stage. The brothers Hunt started playing some music.
Scar: What cause have I to feel glad?
I've built my life on judgement and causing pain
I don't know those eyes I see in the bloodstained chrome
Now everything that I've had
And everything I've known have been thrown away;
And with time, I've come to find this isn't my home
I've stoked the fire
Seen more pain than you can know
The tears of the broken have washed away my soul
Pushed by desire
To change the way my stream will flow
Now I've awoken, and I'm taking back control
I try my best to block out the screams
But they're haunting me in my dreams
Please, break my shackles, I want it to stop
I man these wretched machines
Day in, day out, the grinding wears on my brain
Undermining my sanity, making me question my reality
But life is not as it seems
Should I take a chance for freedom and throw it all down the drain?
I've been imprisoned, please burn my transgressions away
I've stoked the fire
Seen more pain than you can know
The tears of the broken have washed away my soul
Pushed by desire
To change the way my stream will flow
Now I've awoken, and I'm taking back control
I try my best to block out the screams
But they're haunting me in my dreams
Please, break my shackles, I want it to stop
I'm sick of hurting,
Sick of thinking it's all I do
I break those around me, those spared are very few
But the bright sun is burning
And my sky shines, ever blue
Friendships surround me; I'm becoming a part of you
All hunters (and PInkie and Rainbow) were clapping and cheering for Scar. The other ponies were amazed at how good Scar was.
"Told you he was good! And isn't it strange how much this song matches his past and present?"
"That was soooooo awesome! His voice went all different and the song was soooo cool!"
"Awwwwwwwww yeeeeaah!"
Pinkie and Rainbow were amazed at how good it went.
"Hey Scar! You really are a great singer!"
He just walked past them.
"Scar?"
"Just, leave me alone for a little while."
"What's his deal?"
Runner sat down next to them.
"It happens from time to time. He has some mental problems but that's normal after what he went through. One of the problems is that he get's depressed from time to time."
"But he's really nice! What meanie would do something to hurt him so much?"
"His father."
Pinkie's mane deflated a bit.
"I'm not going into the details because his story is really gory. Good night. I'l come with you tommorow. Mantis should be back by sunrise."
With that being said everyone went to sleep.
And here's some creepy music: No Money, Down Low Monthly Payments.
And some more: Child Protective Services Theme Song.
