Chapter Seven

Chapter Seven

For the past hour I still couldn't fall asleep. It was hard to fall asleep especially since my little escapade with Rarity earlier. I had a feeling that she wasn't going to forget this and I definitely wasn't going to forget either. I just lied there on the bed with only my thoughts.

So much for sleeping in.

All I wanted was to forget about that incident and let bygones be bygones, but that wasn't going to be easy since she thinks I'm the pervert here. Even though I'm the victim here and she's the one that ended up in my room.

Rarity is many things and stubborn was one of them, but honestly I don't mind it. She wouldn't be the first person I've met that was stubborn, and she won't be the last.

It's almost five and I still can't get some sleep! Especially when I need it the most!

I began to think about those creeps that attacked Techorse and the ones that attacked me and Rarity. Was there really a lot more out there and if so why did they need Techorse and me? That's all that I thought about.

What are they up too? What could they gain from bringing back Nightmare Moon?

I couldn't put my hoof on it, but I'll figure it out later. The least I can do is try to help out in any way I can. At least until this madness ends and I can go home. I decided to get up and get something to eat although something just occurred to me. I didn't even know where the kitchen was...

"Damn it," I whispered.

"What should I do now?"

With nothing else to do there was only one thing I could do and it was go for a walk. I can't quite remember the last time I took a walk but it usually would either help clear my head of problems or help me relax. But I did always enjoy a good walk when times were tough for me. So I immediately got off the bed and left the castle for my stroll around Ponyville.

I had to say that the breeze in the morning is refreshing and relaxing. It felt like today might be pretty good and hopefully nothing bad will happen while I'm out. So far my stay had been difficult but I had a feeling that today might just be my day.

I began to pass by Sweet Apple Acres and I noticed the apples hanging from the trees and I began to feel some of my drool coming from the side of my mouth at the sight of them. But I immediately shook my head of even taking a single one. If I remember correctly then taking even one would be a bad idea.

"I can wait patiently until I get back to the castle," I said to myself as I continued my walk until I heard a rustling in some nearby bushes. I immediately stopped only to hear it again. I quickly looked back only to see a brown bunny hop out from the bush.

"Jeez don't scare me like that little guy," I said as it began to hop away. "And here I was actually worried."

"Howdy~"

"AHHHH!!!" I yelled in a....very manly way as I tripped on a stone.

"Oh sorry fella I didn't mean to scare ya...Are you okay?" A young mare who had an orange coat and blond mane with three apples for a cutie mark. I already knew who it was.

"Applejack?" I said out loud.

"Um...do I know you partner?" She asked.

"Uh....no sorry I've just heard about you is all," I replied bluntly. I didn't exactly lie to her so there was no need to say anything unless she asks.

"Well since you know who I am. What's your name?" She asked.

"Flare Blitz nice to meet you in person Applejack," I said with a grin.

"Oh your the new guy that started working with Rarity right?" She asked.

"Um...yeah how did you know?" I asked.

"Rarity and Twi were talking about you at the party yesterday," She said as she bucked a tree with her hind legs.

"Um.....so they told about my....situation?" I needed to know what they told her so I didn't have to worry about explaining this to her.

"They told that you were new here and that you were going to stay at Twi's place until you're memories returned to ya, other than that nothing else really," She said as she bucked another apple tree.

Damn those are some strong legs.

"Why? Was there something else I needed to know?" She asked.

Hypocrites!

"Well one I have all of my memories in tact and secondly they didn't mention that I was from another world and Midnight can confirm my story," I said. I tried explaining the whole story as best I could to Applejack and she did manage to understand my situation completely. The last thing I needed was to keep any secrets from any of the main six. Makes my life a little easier.

"So you're just like Midnight? A Hu-man and ya trying ta get home?"

"Yep that's the gist of it. I got nothing else to do but stay and wait until they say I can go home," I said with a sigh.

"Well I hope you'll have a great stay here in Ponyville Flare," Applejack said as she left, carrying a bucket of Apples on her back.

I had to say that it was impressive that she could knock down all those apples from those trees with just one kick.

"Well I guess I better get going," I said to myself as I left the farm, but as I took my leave I began to flap my wings and I leap into the air only to fall to the ground.

"OH COME ON!!" I shouted as I tried flying again only to fail once again.

Note to self ask Twilight for flying lessons later.

I just gave up and I headed back towards the castle. Apparently I talked to Applejack a lot longer than I thought because the sun was up high in the sky. That and I haven't eaten anything when I left and my stomach is telling me that it's time for breakfast.

Wonder how the others are doing right now?

"So this is the one who took down Silverstone? Pfft....Don't make me laugh!" A hooded figure said.

"Yes this is the one," A another hooded pony said. "Lord Nephrite will most likely have this pony converted into the Nightmare army...."

Before he could finish the hooded pony was chocked by a metallic claw, grasping his throat by another hooded figure with glowing red eyes.

"Now, now Ripper put the nice pony down please? We do have a task to complete after all," The hooded figure said with a light chuckle. Ripper immediately dropped the pony to the ground and returned to his ally's side.

"I know you have a score to settle with this one, but we're only here to observe until Lord Nephrite says so," She said so calmly and Ripper only grunted in response.

"We'll wait until the time is right.....Than you can have your revenge," The hooded figure said with a devious smirk as they left without another word.

And I get to watch them squirm under you're claws...hahahaha!!!

Back at the castle Techorse began working on blue prints for a new invention that would take care of there cult problem.

"Maybe if I add some.....no it would just blow up in my face some how," He said to himself. It wasn't long until Midnight entered his own lab with a scowl.

"Tech I don't know what you're doing in my lab, but.....GET OUT!!!" Midnight shouted.

"Well this place is the only place where I can get some work done in piece and I can't have any disturbances while I work. So please do you mind?" He said as he returned his attention to his work.

"Uh...YES! I do mind now get out so I can get back to my work," Midnight said in anger.

"Your just going to have to wait until I'm done because I'm trying to find a solution to our cultist problem," Techorse said.

"Well this is still my lab  and I......

"Boys it's time to eat!!" Twilight called, interrupting Midnight.

Damn!

"We'll settle this later Techorse!" Midnight said as he headed out.

"Agreed," He responded.

Let's just hope this guy knows what he's doing. Otherwise I'll have to take things into my own hooves.

"Huh...where am I?"

This was all Rarity could ask as she wondered through a mysterious fog. There wasn't anypony here, it was just her all by herself.

Or so she thought.

"Where do you think?!" A voice called out to her. It was feminine but had a deep tone one that she recognize all too well.

"No your....suppose to be dead?"

"Hahahaha!!!....Foolish child, did you honestly think that I would be destroyed so easily?!" Her voice echoed through the vast plane that Rarity had a hard time following. It seemed like the voice was everywhere.

"Show yourself!!" Rarity demanded as she stomped her hoof on the ground as her horn began to glow.

"Hahahaha!!! You can't be serious can you?! I am a being with unlimited power. You honestly think that you're a threat to me?!" The voice shouted and Rarity only struggled more to find where it was coming from.

"Leave me alone...." Rarity said as she was on the verge of tears.

"You can not escape this Darling?! Because you and I are the same!"

"I....am....NOTHING LIKE YOU!!!" Rarity shouted as she shot a magic beam from her horn as it shot through the mist.

"HAHAHAHA!!! So you think?"

"I know so, because I have my friends you vile fiend! I will never be like you!!" Rarity said as she snarled. "I'll never be alone! Now begone!! You aren't real."

"Oh Rarity.....I am Very real and soon there will only be....One of us!!"

"HAHAHAHA........AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"

Rarity soon jolted up from her bed, sweating as she tears streamed down from her cheeks.

"Please somepony.......help me," She begged as she remembered that malicious laugh. Rarity began crying hoping someone will save her from this nightmare.

No pony can help you Rarity.
