Chapter 2

"Puppet!" shouted a brown pegasus, trotting up the old stair cast onto the third floor of an old orphanage. She looked into each bedroom, small, a little dirty and somewhat dark. But it was livable for the little fillies and colts who currently live here. She was looking for a small colt that hasn't turned for breakfast yet. She turn to a bedroom near the end of the hallway, she poked her head in to look in. Her bright blue eyes shimmered in the soft light that came through the window. "Puppet?..." She call out while she step inside.

"BOO!" shouted a small black colt jump out the darkness. The pegasus screamed in reaction and fell on her bottom. The small unicorn giggled, his black wavy mane shined in the rising sun. The pegasus giggled with the small colt. She got up and gave the small unicorn a hug, wrapping around the colt's black cape and his checkered top hat leaning into the pegasus's lab coat. After a short while, she let go of the small colt and moved his top hat back slightly behind his ears.

"Did I scare you good?" The small unicorn asked.

"Yes you did Puppet." The brown mare smile, patting the small colt on the head. "Now Puppet, you know you should of been down stairs with everypony else ten minutes ago."

"I'm sorry Chemicals." Puppet said, his ear drooping. "It's just- I just not like any of the ponies here, except you."

"Why not?" Chemicals asked nicely.

"Well...Everyone is just mean. All the other kids make fun of me because I ware my father's cape and hat."

"That's because they don't understand that that's all you have left of your father."

"That's what you keep telling me... Also they make funny of me because I gave Cloud Thunder a card on Hearts and Hooves day."

"Well.. Most children of your age don't realize that a colt can like another colt as well as a mare can like another mare." Puppet blushed a little, then continued.

"And it's not just that, I don't like any of the other scientist that are working here. They push me and pull on my mane, and sticking needles in my chest. And they always telling you that you shouldn't be a scientist or you shouldn't be talking to the test subjects you airborne twat! all because you are an pegasus! I don't like that."

"Oh, that..." Chemicals sighed. She lowered herself to Puppets level, meeting eye to eye. "Puppet, I know those are things you don't want to hear and frankly, nether than anypony worth a damn. But sadly not everypony sees that way. And I know this is 100% wrong for them for using such raciest comments but this what I have to put up with to get the work done."

"But why? Why say those things even though you work the hardest out of everypony?"

"Well... That's because a job of being scientist is mainly a unicorn job. Not a lot of pegasus and earthponies have scientist degree. You see, ponies even to this day have this idea in their head that unicorns are smart so they must have a job that needs a lot of intelligent and pegasus have wings so they must have a job that have to do with the weather things like that. So as much our society as grown over the years, we still have some raciest problems. Do you understand?"

Puppet didn't say anything but nod his head, his face is a mixer of anger and sadness. Chemicals petted his head for a bit before she remembered. "Oh, speaking of needles..."

"Oh no."

"It's time for your shot." Chemicals said putting her hoof in her lab coat and pull out a long needle filled of a rainbow liquid glowing brightly in the darkness .

"Why do I need to take it? Nopony else is taking it!"

"I for the test Puppet. Everypony else is taking something different and yours just so happen to be a shot. Anyway, you're the most successful test subject out of everypony here."

"Really?" Puppet asked now having a shy smile on his face, his red eyes glimmering.

"Oh yes, according to charts your magical abilities have sky rocketed through the roof! At this point you can teleport across the world."

Puppet smiled as he pulled out his arm. Chemicals slowly put the needle in his arm and starting putting the glowing liquid in his blood stream. Puppet started to tear up a little once the liquid began to burn his skin. After a small bit the burning stop and a burst on energy comes flowing in. Chemicals patted Puppet again, putting a smile on his face. Then, they heard a familiar, but very un-wanting voice. "CHEMICALS!!!"

"Fuck." Chemicals whispered as she turned around and walked out the door. Puppet looked outside the door to see Chemicals stop at the end of the hall near the stair case. Even where he stand, he could tell that Chemicals is annoyed.

"What the hell do you was Sci?!" She shouted back down the stairs.

"Did you fine the little brat?!" Sci shorted angry.

"Yes! And I gave him his daily shot just to let you know!"

"Good, you did something right for once. Now bring the brat down here with the rest of them! The testing is starting."

"He has a name you know!"

"Whatever!"

"UHG!" Chemicals said stopping her hoof on the wooden floor. Angry trotted back to where Puppet is. She quickly calm herself down, taking a deep breath. She lean towards the black unicorn. "If you haven't heard, Mr. Pain in the neck wants use to go down stairs."

Puppet nodded and the both of them trotted side by side down the stairs and headed down to the first floor.
...........

"A creature?" Rarity asked worriedly, trotting right next to Twilight as her and the rest of her friends heading to Fluttershy house. The sun beaming a pond them and a light breeze blew on their faces. "And it's destroying Fluttershy's house?!"

"Yes." Twilight said. "What I have gotten from the chaotic phone call was it was a pony like creature that was going through a sugar rush."

"A sugar rush?" Applejack said raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, I know. According to Fluttershy, she gave it one of Pinkiepie's cupcake to lead it back to her place because it was hurt."

"Oh yeah!" Pinkiepie said cheerfully. "I did gave her a box full of Rainbow Dash cupcake the other day."

"Um, Rainbow Dash cupcakes?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Yeah! I read an little horror story on the internet and its inspired by it so I make a batch of cupcake base on it."

"Oooh okaaayyy..." Rainbow Dash said slowly, flying a little bit farther away from Pinkie. Everypony looked at Pinkie oddly for a moment before going back to their conversation.

"Do you think it's a changeling?" Rarity asked. "I mean, they are a pony like being."

"If it is, this will be a piece of cake!" Rainbow Dash said slamming her hoof into her other one.

Twilight shook her head. "No I don't think so. If it was, Fluttershy would of said so."

"Whatever it is." Applejack smiled. "I'm sure we can handle it." Once she said that, they reach the top of the small hill near Fluttershy's house. What they saw stop them in their tracks. Haft of Fluttershy's house was filled with holes and a small part of it was painted with fire that was being put by a pony that looked like Fluttershy. The yard was rip up and cover with dirt and glass. As they walk up to the broken house, they could see a filly shape hole on the front door and a rabbit shape one in the window next to it. The lovely smell of burnt fur, hair and wood greeted their nose as they went around the side of the house. They found Fluttershy's animals in a tree shaken in fear, even a large tiger is shaking and hiding with the rest of the scared animals.

"Where did Fluttershy get a tiger?" Rainbow asked, looking up the tree.

"Better not ask." Rarity replied and continue walking through the destruction. The group looked into a large hole that use to be the kitchen door, they saw Fluttershy pouring water on the final flame that was on her stove.

"Um, Fluttershy?" Twilight asked as a piece of the ceiling fell to the ground. Fluttershy turn to face her friends. Her mane and tail was a complete

"Hello everyone...Thank you for coming." Fluttershy said smiling. Twilight smiled back. Even when something unknowable destroyed and set fire everything to her house, she still keep a kind smile on her face.

"He's finally calmed down." Fluttershy said pointing into what was left of the living room. there the creature was, sleeping peacefully on the beat up coach next to a dead, bloody bird. It's third eye contently looking around the room, acting as a look out went its sleeping. Around it's leg was an ice pack, Twilight assumed that's where the bear trap once was.

"I've never seen anything like it before!" Rarity shouted in awe.

"That's not a changeling alright." Pinkiepie commented.

"That raises the question, what exactly is it?" Applejack said.

Twilight lifted a rather large, green book out of her saddle bag with her magic, she struggled a little to pull it out and placing it on the table. The book shook the table when it landed, almost breaking it into two. The title of the book was Creatures and Monsters of the Equestrian Land. By Durpy Hooves.

"What's that?" Rainbow dash ask.

"Whatever this creature is we will find it in here." Twilight smiled. Twilight open the book to the index page of the book and skim through it.

"What are you looking for?" Pinkiepie said stretching her neck really long to look over Twilight's shoulder.

"I looking for the section where Ponyvill and the Everfree forest is. That's where it-"

"He." Fluttershy said cutting Twilight off.

"Say what?" Applejack said.

"The creature is a He, I checked." Fluttershy said slightly blushing.

"He was found." Twilight continued, going to the section of the book that Ponyvill and the Everfree is at. "It's a starting point at least. If I can't fine whatever he is in this sec-TION!!!" Twilight jump back and the others fallowed. Rainbow Dash flew up and hit her head on the ceiling, Twilight fell backwards onto the floor, Applejack rammed into a door way, while Rarity crash on top on Fluttershy and Pinkiepie and both fell to the floor next to Twilight. The creature suddenly teleport into the kitchen and onto the table where the group was. He sniff the book a little bit before looking at Twilight and the group with a face that says sup?

Twilight got up. "Okay... Little guy. Could you get off the book please?" Twilight said with a plaster smile and moving her hoof with a get off motion. The creature stared at her for a moment, then slowly gets off the table. The creature lit up its horn to levitate a not so broken chair, moved it towards the table and sat on it while putting its two front hooves on the table.

"At least he knows his table manners." Rarity commented fixing her mane.

"Yeah." Pinkiepie smiled, quickly jump off the floor and run up to the creature. "He also had a top hat and a cape too boot." Pinkie place her hoof on the black cape, the turned and hissed at her. She quickly pulled her hoof away and slowly backed off. The creature lowered it ears and gave Pinkie a sorry face. He turned to Fluttershy and gave her a I'm also sorry for destroying and burning your house face. Fluttershy petted the creature. "It's okay, I know you didn't mean it."

Twilight stared at the creature. She was little surprise how the creature looked. If you didn't count how thin his leg was, the third eye and have no such mouth, it looked exactly like any other pony. She was also a little surprise that it look more female look more then a normal colt would. She pondered for a bit, she wondered if this creature could be part of the changeling family. Both were a pony like creature and judging from how this creature can teleport which means it has a high intelligence that the changeling also have. So it does fit the bill a little bit, but she need more info before making an conclusion. With that thought in mind, she went back to the index page to fine the changeling page and went to it.

"Um, What's he doing?" Applejack said putting dusty hat back on her head. The creature lit up his horn once more to pull out a bunch on blank paper and a pen out of Twilight's bag. It lifted the pen, place the pen on the paper and begins to write. Everypony stared at the creature as it wrote a short message on the paper which said My name is Puppeteer. Do you want to see a trick?

"I can write?!" Rarity shouted, looking straight at the paper.

"And a name." Rainbow Dash added.

"Never that, I want to see this trick!" Pinkiepie happily said. Puppeteer's horn lit up again to slammed the dead bird from the coach onto the table. Rarity screech and hide behind Applejack.

"That wasn't a good trick at all." Pinkiepie said sadly, feeling like she was betray by Celestia herself. Puppeteer lift he's thin hoof and shook his head. He lit up his horn once more, but this time it lit up a different way. The past times he lit his horn, it usually just mixing different bright colors, but instead it dimly glowed a deep black. The aura around the horn begins to formed into strings, ones you can find on a puppet. It attach itself onto the bloody bird, connecting onto its wings, legs, head and beak. Once all was connected, the bird burst into life.

The bird chirped and singed a happy turn. It flew into the air and daces around still singing. Everypony stares in awe at the unbelievable site. They couldn't keep their eyes off of the somewhat horrifying sight. The bird landed onto the table, it hopped about on the table. After a while Puppeteer remove the magical strings off the bird, the bird instantly flop down. Lifeless and as dead as once were. They just stared at the once again dead bird for seemed like hours, nopony said single word. How could this happen? How can somepony can cheat death like that, and pulled its dead body about like a puppet?

"How..." Rarity said breaking the silences.

"I don't know..." Twilight said pulling her hoof off the book. "I just don't know..."

Just then, Fluttershy's rabbit Angle showed up. Cuts and brushed covered the small white rabbit. Twilight remembered the rabbit shape hole in the window and put two and two together. Angle looked at Puppeteer furiously, tapping his furry foot very fast. The small rabbit was holding a gray rock. The salty rabbit threw the rock at Puppeteer, bouncing of Puppeteer's head. Puppeteer eyes busted into anger as Angle gave him a smug smile and a small pink tongue.

"HEY!" Twilight shouted as Puppeteer, without thinking, levitated Twilight's monster book and threw it at the rabbit. Angle went flying one way as the book went another. Angle crashed into a piled of broken ceiling parts, while the book landed onto the stove open face down. Some of the pages ripped apart and some was stained by a coffee cup being spilled onto in. They stared at the book for a moment before Pinkie spoke. "Well it could of been worst."

Then the book set a flame.
