Chapter 3 Part 3

Check out my newest Youtube Video

Oscar lead Alex into his room while everyone else was down stairs as, the place looked quite big with the 80” plasma screen television and the large bed, but one wall had nothing on it but a door. Alex and the masked man walked up to it as Oscar said, “Once I started bringing in the dough I began to think of a hobby I could start with all of this money. Since I love the action films and I’m no stranger to danger I began collecting a few toys of my own.” Oscar then opened the door to reveal a huge walk in closet with numerous isles filled with swords of all types ranging from simple swords of the medieval ages to actual renditions of swords from games. Oscar walked his friend down the halls as he said, “I think I might have spent over three million dollars on everything.”

Alex was amazed by all these swords, some he had never even seen before like the solid gold twenty foot long sword. Alex snapped himself out and said, “How did it cost two million dollars to buy all these swords?”

Oscar wagged his finger as he opened another door while saying, “I don’t collect just swords.” As Oscar opened the next door Alex’s mouth opened in awe as he stared into a room filled with firearms.

As Alex entered the room he looked to his side and nearly jumped out of his skin as he shouted, “What the hell!”

The masked man stared at Alex as he said, “What’s wrong?”

In front of Alex was a large black egg shaped container with a box like thing at the end, it looked to be the size of a truck when scaled next to Alex. As Alex got back up he began to back away as he said in horror, “You have a fucking Tzar Bomb!”

Oscar shrugged as he looked over to the container next to him as he slowly said, “So…”

Alex was terrified that such a bomb was in the same room as him as he said, “That thing is the equivalent of 50 million tons of Dynamite.”

Oscar looked over to the large nuclear bomb in his room as he said, “Is that bad?”

Alex looked at Oscar like he needed to be slapped as he said, “That thing is three thousand times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb! It could damn near wipe out the entire northern hemisphere. I know that is an exaggeration but that thing shouldn’t exist. Let alone in a freaking kid’s room. How the hell do you manage to get something like that?”

Oscar looked over at it as he said, “I got it at an auction. The poor sucker had no idea how much he was starting it for, bought it for a million dollars.”

Alex was heading for the exit as he said, “You are the weirdest person I have ever known. You must be really worried about your manhood to have a FUCKING NUCLEAR BOMB in your room!” As Alex walked out of the room in a rage Oscar looked back at it as though he had no idea what was so bad about the bomb, after a couple of seconds he decided to follow his new friend. As he began to walk down the hallway to the stairs he said while looking back at the masked man, “So… you managed to get all of this by just writing books?”

As Alex slowed down to take the entire surroundings in, Oscar walked up next to him as he said, “Yeah, thanks to a book that I wrote called The Rebel. Seeing as I really couldn’t make any money off of pony fiction I decided to go for original fiction, and have multiple pony references in it.”

Alex nodded his head as he said with a smile, “Good plan, speaking of plans we have to get back to Equestria soon before ShadowThunder attacks again.”

Oscar began to nod his head as he walked down the hallway while saying, “Good idea. My mom will be home soon and she is definitely not the one who likes to meet new people.” Oscar began turning down the hallways before getting to the stairs that lead to the bottom half of the mansion. As Oscar began to go down the stairs he hopped onto the railing and slid down like he was six years old, completely oblivious to the shape of the ending of the rail being one that curves up. Oscar hit it and fell off the side as he swore in French which made Alex laugh somewhat. As Oscar got up he said quickly, “Get your stuff together cause we are going to Equestria!”

Alex walked up behind him and put his hand on his shoulder as he gently said, “Listen, I have been thinking about this, I know you really want to come and it would be torture to keep you here now that you know it all exists.”

Lauren walked up next to Alex and spoke for the first time in a while, “We just don’t think that you would be capable of defending yourself out there.”

Alex looked into Oscar’s eyes as he said as nicely as possible, “So what I want you to do is to bring a sword cause you’ll be needing it where you’re going.” Oscar looked up as his cheeks began to raise with glee only to see Alex give him a wink through his own glasses.

Oscar began to run up as he said, “I might as well pack some clothes for the journey too!”

As he disappeared into the upper floor Alex shouted after him, “Only what you can fit into a backpack. And nothing unnecessary, we don’t need PSPs when Pinkie’s around!” After a couple of seconds Alex looked over at the two princesses as he said to the two, “One of you is gonna have to give me their crown if we want to get back.” Celestia was the first to hover her crown over.

Alex gently held it in his hands and noticed it was a pretty hefty crown as she said, “Please only take what’s needed.” Alex brought his finger along the edge and chipped it ever so slightly.

He looked over at Twilight as he said, “Just a couple more seconds before he comes back. So get ready.” Twilight jumped off the seat and got ready as she changed back into a pony along with the others. The glowing filled the room brightly as Oscar began to walk down. As he reached the bottom of the stairs he could see them all returned to their pony forms. Oscar could barely hold in his shouting as he saw Pinkie squirming through her sweater to get out, her pink hair and mane sticking out both ends of the sweater. As soon as Pinkie got out Oscar stepped into the room, this was the first time his face was visible to them all. He was dressed in black clothing and with him he had what looked like a black airsoft mask. His two swords on his back with his backpack over top with all of his clothes inside, his mask dangling in his hands as they all stared at him.

Oscar slipped the mask on as he said in a deep voice resembling that of Optimus Prime, “Let’s roll.” That very moment he was sure he could feel a few manly chest hairs grow on him as he stood there with the black mask covering his face yet again.

Alex couldn’t help but be impressed by his set up, he was dressed for what looked like could be any season, surely this kid wasn’t stupid enough to just bring winter clothes. As Alex turned his attention to Twilight he said, “Alright so now that Bosscar is here can we please make the jump?”

Twilight nodded her head as she said while looking around the room, “Yes. But as soon as we get there we absolutely must travel back to the present or who knows what will happen to ourselves. Interacting with the smallest object from the past can affect the future in deadly ways.”

Alex nodded his head as he said, “You’re probably right, so as soon as we get there we need to find a way to jump into the future as fast as possible, we can’t freeze ourselves because then we might need to hide ourselves which again puts us at risk of changing the future. We need to find a way to jump into the present, any suggestions?”

Pinkie decided to raise her hoof as she said with a smile on her face, “Ooh ooh, how about we go away from where we were and make sure that nopony will ever find us!”

Alex began to think about it, the way she said it was faulted but the idea in itself was smart, they needed to be somewhere were there was no living interaction… where could they go that didn’t have any other ponies and remain for as long as a thousand years? The idea suddenly struck him as he turned to them and said, “I’m sure we all know where to go.”

Lauren began to think hard as to try and guess what Alex was thinking before saying, “Where could we go.”

Alex pointed his finger to the sky as he shouted, “We can figure that out ON THE MOOOON!” Finally Alex felt accomplished after referencing one of his favourite fan made pony animations.

The ponies looked at Alex with blank stares only to have Oscar walk up beside him and say, “It’s a brony thing.” With that the girls nodded their heads with understanding and before they knew it Alex was throwing in the piece of metal.

One by one the ponies jumped in except for Twilight, as Oscar ran for it he tried his best to do a barrel roll but landed on his back and got sucked into the vortex. As Lauren began to slowly approach it she said loudly over the sound of the portal, “I can’t do this! So much has happened me in a day! I can’t just leave reality!”

Alex put a hand on her shoulder as her red hair blew in the wind he said with a comforting smile on his face while the light of the portal reflected off his glasses, “What is reality by now? Who said that the last television show you watched wasn’t a reality anywhere else? There’s always somewhere out there that holds your dreams, it’s time to go find it.” With that Lauren closed her eyes and walked through the portal. As Alex and Twilight remained Alex said loudly, “Will I see you in there?”

Twilight shouted, “Yes make it quick though we might be wasting precious time!” With that Alex and Twilight jumped in at the same time and the portal closed after them. The room feel into complete silence.

The cave was silent and empty only for a couple of seconds before a cloud of darkness bubbled into existence, soon filling the room with smokey shadows. When the clouds faded away there stood a lone mare whos mane was as black as the heart that beat inside her. She began to pace around the room as she said to herself, “That human barely even fears me… I must make him tremble with fear. I must explore their greatest fears!” As she said that she began to course through the memories of Alex she got from making contact with him. As she dug her way through his mind she reminded herself to find what he feared most. The search was almost fruitless until she stumbled upon a few nightmares he had a while ago. As she watched over them she could see the bearded protector at a park with the yellow pegasus. ShadowThunder began to ask why this was where his nightmares were stored when some movement caught her eye. She began follow the slight change in shapes that were taking place in the background to see a lone figure standing there. He was much taller than an average human but looked to be make of sticks just by looking at his build, he simply stood there watching over the two simply sit there on the bench. ShadowThunder began to feel a sensation she hadn’t felt in centuries, fear. She began to wonder what it was about this creature that was scaring her and was the reason this dream was a nightmare when she looked it in the eye. As soon as she looked at the face of the gangly monster she realized it had none. Just a blank white canvas waiting for facial features to appear, she began to believe that this creature was not scary by appearance… but by actions. She watched as it slowly approached the couple, a hole beginning to form in the middle of the head. As it approached the back of Alex’s head a whole mouth began to take form with teeth descending into the back of the throat, it’s hands stretching out beyond their previous length as tendrils began to form out of it’s back. As soon as it was about to attack Alex the nightmare ended, ShadowThunder stood there… petrified by it’s presence. She knew it was perfect and began to create it out of her own magic. A pale white blob began to form in the middle of the room and was soon beginning to form arms and legs of it’s own, a human outfit matching that of the nightmare formed over top and before long, standing in front of the mortal god herself, was the definition of human horror. ShadowThunder took a couple of blinks before hissing silently while floating around it, “You have been brought into existence by me… almost as though you could say I am your… mother.” She watched as the figure stood still before saying again, “You will seek out the chosen one and do what you are best at. When you sense the presence you must seek it out… go.”

After a couple of seconds of waiting the creature slowly began to walk, the tendrils ripped out the back of the creature and it began to walk like a crab as it turned it’s head towards it’s master. Using the faint wind as it’s voice it said through what looked like a mouth covered in goo matching the color of his face, “The name is Slenderman…” As Slenderman left ShadowThunder could feel chills running down her spine, she knew that this creature defined fear but hoped that it would be enough to stop Alex.

As Slenderman walked into the forest he noticed a class of small ponies with cameras around their necks walking in the woods, laughing as they hopped amongst each other while taking pictures. As one of them stood still she said with a large smile, “Stand in front of that big old tree!” As soon as her friend did so she snapped a photo, the picture immediately popping out completely visible. What the ponies saw was a photograph of the happiest foal ever but what their eyes hadn’t picked up yet was the tall human like creature in the very corner nearly invisible, basically promising them an untimely demise.

Okay this is the official end of Chapter three and I cannot write any more because I can’t see… I scared myself so badly to the thought of Slenderman that my eyes are tearing up. So have fun trying to sleep if your someone who loves a good scare like me cause this is going to be a long night.

Also this chapter gives two hints to two books I will be writing in the future, one of them is very obvious while the other one was carefully hidden. The key word to finding the teaser for the seconds story is hidden…
