One way trip to regret

"Well man seeing as we just got through all that what do you plan on doing?"

"He's right sweetie it's over.....well for now it is at least......man what an adventure this turned out to be..."

"I know what i'm going to do now."

Journal Entry.......

Hello to those who are reading on.......this is my story of how I accomplished what I thought was impossible.....this is my story.....will you listen on until the end......

It was just supposed to be another ordinary day, heh ordinary a word I don’t work with,as we were supposed to have a pleasant walk through a cave, but fate had another thing planned for me but why am I surprised.....life has done things to me that have greatly damaged me in more ways than one, and now i'm falling to my doom....but lets rewind to a bit earlier today.....

....Two hours earlier.

“For exactly what reason are we wandering around this cave again Wish....?” I asked.

“Because I found it to be fun!” Wish responded with joy.

Wish was a girl who was normally a great companion to be around as she was caring towards those she would be glad enough to call a friend, but sometimes her excitement gets the better of her and makes her do things normal people would think about doing first....all around a good person completely opposite in some ways to her brother yet she treats me better then him for some reason....and everyday I ask why....you see I am not a well known guy...... I don’t even have a name, but there were people in the world who did decided to “befriend” me from time to time for whatever reason they had in mind.

“Come on slowpoke or else we will never catch up to Reese or Locke!” she said.with enthusiasm

Wish,Locke, and Reese were people I could actually stomach enough to call a friend as they understood me.....you see I was....gifted with abilities that frighten some and angered others.

“I’m.......here......oh man….that took …..alot out of me...” I said while trying to catch my breath from the long walk.

“It would’ve been easier for you if you didn’t have to lug that giant bludgeon around with you” Reese said with a mocking tone.

“For once in my life I agree with him.” Locke said.

“I can’t leave it guys I told you it’s become a part of me for a while...” I said.

“Like your arm...” Wish said in a sad tone.

I was born an outcast and growing up didn’t help that at all, and even less after an incident involving....let’s call it a living nightmare.

“So a ghost almost killed him it doesn’t matter since the deal the ghost made with the guy let him use his body as a vessel in exchange for his life.” Locke says in depressing tone

Recall me saying a living nightmare that was it me and my “friends” once went to an old abandoned area to just stare at the night sky only to be intruded by a ghost with a flaming personality and he did not enjoy my presence especially.

(things in italics are flashbacks)

“What do you want from me?!” I scream to the spirit

“Isn’t it obvious my dear boy......I WANT TO CONSUME YOUR SOUL” the spirit lunges at me as he finishes his sentence

During a time where my life is usually in danger I end up almost dying not actually dying although i’ve been put on the spot to actually know how it would feel to lose it all in a second

“Why is it my soul you want what have I done to you to deserve a fate such as this?” I say to the spirit “I don’t even know your name!”

“My name is Ruby Flames and I am the embodiment of hate something you left behind....well half of you and from that day forward I swore I would consume both of your souls to satisfy my anger.” he says as he continues to hunt me down

“Then let me strike a bargain with you if I can have my life spared you can have my body to exact your revenge on the other half of me that left you and then do away with me when you are finished...” I say hoping to keep my life.

“You make a well offer.......very well I will accept your means …. for now....but don’t expect me to follow all the things you tell me to do as i’m not known to be a good listener boy.” he says as he accepts the offer in an unsatisfied tone.

As he finishes talking Ruby immediately dives in my body and with it my arm ignites on fire and turns a never changing shade of red with an endless stream of blood falling from it soon after I felt a deep pain within my chest and as I clutch the area of pain I feel as if i’m holding on to something other than my chest and as i pull I scream in pain only to find a bloody bludgeon fall out of me.....and with each day I grew it did as well and it was huge and heavy no one could pick it up yet for some reason I could lift it with ease to my thoughts it may have been linked to Ruby and when someone did pick it up they could not swing it as it would reject them only the owner of the behemoth weapon could use it which in this case was me.....this is all I can remember of this time for my memory has been getting worse per passing day to the point where I just might forget who I am or what I am or even what I stand for.

“Locke how can you say it doesn’t matter?!” Wish replies with anger “We could’ve lost a great friend and you a good brother!”

Locke looks to me then back to Wish and says “I’m sorry I don’t think you met the guy as he suffered life threatening situations throughout his whole life, and THIS bugs you out of the more serious things that have happened to him I mean come on a home to him is the hospital!”

I am fast on my feet with speed faster than what was thought to be the fastest thing alive but if I over do it I may end up destroying my body as some have said to me that this world is limiting what my body is fully capable of...I never understood it so I never bothered to listen any further.

“Locke shut up as you know that Wish likes the guy” Reese replies as he rolls his eyes

Hearing the words come out of Reese’s mouth made Wish turn redder than my arm, but I didn’t pay attention to what he said I only walked forward covering my ears believing Locke was still talking and when I looked to Wish she only looked away.

“Thats not my problem as she is your sister not mine plus if my brother doesn’t have a name how will that help her relationship wise?” Locke says in a mocking voice

As Locke mentions the fact that I don’t have a name it reminds me of how my parents never cared for me in the least and mainly because I haven’t seen them for years as the only time I got to be with them was during birth to age 2 they didn’t bother to do anything with me ….even name me.

“Then......I’ll give you a name!” Wish says with much anticipation “Reese come help me think of one!”

At this moment I saw how much these two cared for me enough to give me a name, something I did not have for many years and they knew this as they even struggled by what to call me before....until now it seems

“Alrighty let’s think of a name for the guy.......” Reese responds to his sister

They both whisper to each other name suggestions for me and even argue at points to decide which of their choices is better and Locke just watches and facepalms at the sight of this.

“I GOT IT THE PERFECT NAME FOR YOU.” Wish says nearly knocking me and Reese over with her loud voice “Your name can be Baron.”

“Baron hm a member from the house of lords, or being a direct descendant of a high ranking official such as a king.” I say it as if I were reading a dictionary “So what am I a Baron of then?”

“Oh um y-you are b-bar...” She stutters and is soon cut off by Locke “The lost hearts.”

“Pardon?” I say questioning Locke’s response only to be followed by “Yeah that’s a perfect fit Baron LostHeart seeing as you don’t have a heart yourself.”

There were many things that made me the “gifted” guy I am now one of those being my lack of an actual heart yet my body function perfectly without one, and it even confuses doctors and scientists to no end especially on how i’ve been alive up to today

“Well that was a low blow even coming from you man I mean he is your older brother.” Reese says as we continue to tread deeper within the cave with the silence of a mouse all the way.

I break the silence by saying “I actually enjoy the name....it does fit my character greatly now we should be careful we are entering the unstable parts of the cave.”

Wish turns sad at the fact that I accepted a badly altered version of the name she thought to be perfect but soon sees that I have really grown to it and continues walking and as we go deeper we see the rock formations appear as if the just the smallest addition of tension would cause the cave to collapse and we soon start to hear a rumbling within the cave.

“What was that.......” Wish says as she has now become scared of the unstable area only to have Locke say “If I say my stomach will you calm down.” Locke soon laughs at what he says but soon shuts up as the rumbling soon gets louder as we now also start to hear growling sound

“Please tell that was your stomach as well...” Reese says frantically We soon come in contact with a bear who appears to have not eaten anything in a long while and has now found a perfect feast to enjoy

“Well.....I should’ve taken this into account....” Locke says as he now understands what a dunce he is for not turning back “Doesn’t matter if we’re this things next meal then it will have to earn it and i’m not one to give up easily”

“And he calls me an idiot” Reese says annoyed by Locke

“Oh boy......what am i going to do with the two of you” Wish says annoyed by the two meatheads fending off the bear

As this happens you look to your arm which starts to glow.....

….......Meanwhile in a different world.

“Sister are you alright?” a voice asks “This is the fourth time I caught you staring at that statue.”

“I’m sorry for worrying you it’s just that something is happening and the aura feels similar to his, but it’s far away.....very far away.” another voice says reassuring the first one.

“Do you want to keep the sun out just a bit longer then to keep yourself calm?” The first voice asks

“No it’s fine let’s go back inside the palace.” The second voice says to calm the first one again.

…......Back to “my” world.

“You know Baron you COULD help us” Reese says attempting to get me into their fight with the scrawny excuse for a bear.

“It’s your fight not mine so yeah good luck with that.” I say tormenting them.

“We are so gonna kill you when we get out of this cave.”

Locke says to me Locke was an excellent marksman never missing a shot with his guns so long as he had bullets to fire and he did but, he never let anything happen to his 3 guns which he had named after his 3 fallens friends Skye, Otto, and Pierce, a perfect survivalist next to myself one could not ask for a better brother despite how cruel he could be at times.....

“I can deal with that.” I say taunting him even further causing him to roll his eyes.

Locke sighs and says “Baron LostHeart, fastest thing alive with innate fighting skills and a gigantic weapon, ruler of the shadows, and refuses to fight.....what a brother.” he laughs at this then resumes fighting

….......Back to the other world.

“Now I know something is different with the aura i’m sensing something about this being seems to be much more tamed unlike him....so how can they be similar......” the second voice says

“Looks can be deceiving sister I mean we misjudged many things as harmful or helpful when they were clearly the opposite.” the booming first voice says

“I guess you’re right.......we need to hurry you’re almost late to raise the moon Luna and we can’t let that happen now can we!” the second voice now says now filled with delight and joy.

Luna stays behind as she sees her sister trot off then sighs “Princess Celestia, Princess of the sun, ruler of equestria, and ignorant to emotions....what a sister” Luna laughs as she says this then rushes off to catch up to her sister.

….......Back again to “my” world

“BOOM HEADSHOT” Locke goes as a bullet pierces the head of the bone exposed bear and then says “Now can someone please tell me why there was a bear in this part of the cave and how the heck was it still alive?”

I inspect the fallen body of the bear examine the parts that weren’t damaged by the two meatheads then stand up and say “Hm weird...it seems that it was fed a bit earlier by someone, but was given something that didn’t satisfy it and tormented it to search around for more....we are not alone here...”

“So it was done intentionally to get rid of us?!” Wish says with her voice filled entirely with fear

“We can get out the way we came lets go.....are you kidding me.....” Reese finishes his sentence as he sees a pile of rocks that have fallen from the fight with the bear blocking the way back.

“Oh god for the love of everything please don’t let it be him...” I whispered to myself in anger

After we decided that there is nowhere to go but forward we keep walking hoping to find another exit through the cave.

Nighty Knytt

Let's see.....where did I leave off.....oh yes.

As we walk deeper within the dangerous area of the cave my arm glows again which prompts me to finally call out to my second mind after I told my “friends” to continue on without me for now.

“Alright Ruby you’ve been restless ever since we went inside this cave mind telling me what’s up?”

“Remember the deal you made with me that you would help me get back at the other half of you?” he says as he takes shape in front of me and I respond almost immediately “Vaguely i’m weak in the memory area, but yes although you never completely explained who this other half was.”

“I didn’t bother explaining it at the time because it wouldn’t make much sense seeing as your other half isn’t from “this” world and neither are you lad.” Ruby states which makes my eyes go wide and I quickly disagree “What do you mean i’m not from here I spent my whole life here so I’m pretty sure that Earth is my “home”?!”

“Well we did hear him say you might have forgotten everything after getting banished here all those years ago.....” Ruby says something that peaked my curiosity to untamable levels “FORGET?! FORGET WHAT AND HOW DO YOU KNOW MY OTHER HALF SAID THIS?”

“Now calm down there Baron I know what he said as me and some others worked for him as generals as we held the power that opposed that of something that was used against him by someone who was against his ways, but his name......it escapes me greatly after he cursed me...” Ruby said sounding depressed as he finished his sentence leaving me to speak and say “Unbelieveable so i’m not from here then....so then where am I really from?”

Ruby looks up then shakes his head and lifts his arms in an “I don’t know” manner which forces me to say “So you can’t even remember the name of the land,your old master, or your comrades?”

“Again he cursed me with a spell that made my spirit split apart from my body and it took my memories so long as I was away from my body and then he banished me away and the only way I could return is if I was with him in this world.....or at least a part of him....which is where you come in at least that is all I can remember about that moment” He says with his enthusiasm returning.

“And you think i’ll agree to come with you to this world?!” I say still processing what he just left me with.

“Well I figured yes since we’re in the cave I arrived in when I first came to this world you would take me back through here as it has the strongest energy source linking me to our other world.” he says which puts a grim look on my face “So you came from this area then........i’m not so sure with “him” hiding around here and my friends also with me at the moment....what will I actually do...with them if I were to just leave them to go with you....I just don’t know Ruby.”

“You have some time but i’ll take you with me after we deal with you other problem here then.” Ruby says as he disappears back into my body.

“Hard to believe it was four years since that day....of course my bludgeon was about a third the size my arm now its about the same size as me and has finally stopped growing since then.” I say slightly remembering how long it’s been since I first made the deal with Ruby and wondering why he has tolerated me long enough to keep me alive up until now.

Ruby seemed intent on getting me to the other world so he had agreed not to leave until I tie the loose edges so I just went with it knowing there was no changing my deal with him otherwise he would’ve possibly ended me there and now.

“Alright then lets carry on with the time I have left here then.” I say as i run to catch up with Locke and the others.

As we make our way back to the others I see them frozen as statues and ask “Guys are you alright?” but they just point towards a group of five men three of which had guns and the other two were fighting with their bare fists but soon after a sixth man appeared who wielded a sword with two guns at his sides along with a dagger and he was clearly leading the other five.

“Damn I knew we would eventually end up in his way but not this soon!” I said angered by the presence of these men.

“My my you are quite the sneaky one now aren’t you.....when I heard that you would be inspecting this little unstable area I just had to get a headstart so we wouldn’t miss such a great encounter.” the leader says as a smile creeps its way on his face “And I see you have more toys for me to play with.....I was getting bored of hunting you while you were alone as it just ….killed the fun of finding you everywhere you went....”

“Baron?.....who is this man and how does he know you?!” Wish says as she turns to me only to have the man speak up again “Ah I see you got yourself a name how wonderful, but you didn’t tell them mine......now that hurts.....after all we were such great friends.....anyway i’ll answer that question for you my sweet....my name is knytt…yes say it with me now everybody KNIGHT....and to how I know “Baron” is that he and I used to be something similar to partner in arms.....” Knytt says finishing his sentence.

“YOU’RE LYING BARON WITH NEVER WORK WITH A CREEP LIKE YOU EVEN IF HE NEEDED A FRIEND AT THE TIME!” Wish shouted at Knytt only for him to laugh “Ha that’s a good one my little sweet its true Baron didn’t want friends at the time but he still followed me and diligently at that not because he wanted friends....it’s because he would never say no to family.....”

“Family......Baron what does he mean by that?!” Locke says disbelieving what Knytt had just said which made me sigh as I knew there were no more secrets here “Locke....meet your older brother.....and my twin brother Knytt Hart.....”

“There now was that so hard my dear twin....” Knytt says tormenting me and Locke

“W-what....I have another brother....why didn’t you ever tell me sooner?!” Locke says screaming at me “Would you want to know that you were related to this monster.” I say at Locke

“Regardless you knew that there was still some family left that wasn’t killed and you never told me?! Locke says even more furious now then ever “Because he is the cause of our broken family...” I say hoping his anger towards me would cease.

“Thats a lie my dear twin and you know it!” Knytt says as he responds angrily towards my last sentence only to have Locke cut in “My brother never lies about a cold blooded killer!”

“Veh....fine believe whatever you want, but i’m not leaving until I make your heads a part of my mantel so.....ATTACK THEM NOW!” Knytt finishes his sentence only to have the three men with guns fire at us.

I quickly pull out my bludgeon and guard against all the incoming bullets and Locke dodges most of the bullets then with Pierce in his left hand and Skye in his right he starts blocking the rest with his guns just as I am with my weapon, and as we stay here attempting to survive the spray of bullets Knytt quickly goes over to Reese and Wish and asks “So mind telling me who you two are?” and Reese responds quickly by saying “I am Reese Nitro and this is my younger sister Wish Nitro now what do you want from us!” Reese says wondering what Knytt wants “Nitro’s children eh.....tell me do you two want to work with me?

“DO YOU HONESTLY BELIEVE WE WOULD JOIN YOU ….AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN NITRO’S CHILDREN?!” Wish says screaming at Knytt causing him just to roll his eye “Well I was certainly sure the children of Professor Felix Nitro would happily want to join their last remaining parent in the occupation he is currently taking.

“W-what do you mean by that....?” Reese and Wish both say in unison processing the last sentence that was said by Knytt “Oh professor mind coming in here for a moment....i’m having a bit of trouble recruiting new members...”

As Knytt finished his sentence another man showed up and he was clearly older than Knytt and his group of soldiers “Alright Mr. Hart just show me to them and i’ll.......kids?” he finished his sentence abruptly after seeing his children standing in front of him only to have his son speak up “Father....you work for this monster...why?”

“Mr. Hart is no monster....if anything the man over there is the actual monster!” he says pointing to me as soon as he finishes speaking “Now please....stop helping him and join us and we will get rid of that plague.....”

“What do you say you two.....join me and help me dispose of that freak you’ve been helping, or say no and i’ll add you to my list of who I want to kill!” Knytt says to Reese and Wish in hopes to make them join him.

“Father....Baron is no monster....what has he done to confuse you.....Baron is my best friend....”This is all Reese manages to say at the moment and Wish follows with “Dad you know Baron isn’t a monster.....you even helped him there were his own family couldn’t....”

“My eyes were opened to the truth by his brother who told me things that made me regret having that vile thing living with us now please what is your answer to Mr. Hart’s request?” The Professor says awaiting an answer from his children only to be followed by a unison “NO WE WON’T JOIN HIM”

“Excellent now.....wait what?” The Professor stutters as he takes in their answer “B-but Mr. Hart will....”

“Hmph how foolish of you two......seize these them as I now want their heads on my mantle as well!” Knytt shouts as the other two of the men now walk towards Reese and Wish

“LEAVE THEM OUT OF THIS” I shout at Knytt while still avoiding fire “Ruby i’ll need your assistance here!”

“FINALLY I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER GET TO HEAR THE SOUND OF SOMEONE CRYING IN PAIN EVER AGAIN.....HAHAHA!” Ruby states as my arm glows deep red then ignites on fire and soon my mind and Ruby’s become linked into one.

….....Back to this mysterious “other” world

A scream was heard in the interior of the castle only to be answered by a dozen knights and a worried sister.

“Sister are you alright!” Luna asks her sister in fear hoping nothing had happened to her

“Yes i’m fine Luna....I just sensed that odd presence of power grow wild.....it is from a different world, but it feels so close.....this being will be arriving soon to our world soon....very soon....” Celestia says to her sister only bringing a worried expression to her face “And what shall we do when this being enters Equestria sister?”

“I don’t know what this one is capable of.....or what it will be when it shows up....but for the safety of my people I can only hope that it will be non-hostile..” As she says this Luna responds almost immediately “If not im sure we can handle it and imprison it just like its other half here....at least I hope we can...”

….....Back to Earth

I jump into the air then forcefully slam down with my bludgeon crushing one of the guards with it then I lift it up and swing back and hit another one with it then I rush off to aide Reese and Wish

“STOP PICKING ON THE DEFENSELESS YOU PILES OF SCUM” Me and Ruby shout in unison as we lunge towards the two guards harassing Reese and Wish.

Locke handles the gunman who was shooting at him with ease then sees that the two I didn’t finish of are about to shoot me from behind but effectively stops them both with a bullet to the head “HEY BARON MIND MAKING SURE THESE GUYS ARE DEAD BEFORE YOU ACTUALLY LUNGE COMPLETELY UNAWARE TOWARDS SOMETHING ELSE!” he shouts annoyed for me not knowing this.

Locke engages the guard tormenting Reese in combat while I get the one that was tormenting Wish, but that one I was fighting jumps back and grabs the gun of one of his fallen comrades now he was armed but he was still retreating backwards shooting all the way.

“COME AND FIGHT LIKE AN ACTUAL GUARD YOU PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A MAN!” Me and Ruby say again in unison.

I soon do three swings with my weapon each propelling me forward while deflecting the spray of bullets launched at me and soon I make contact with the coward, but remembering what Locke said I forcefully swing my bludgeon down causing him to explode like a balloon of blood, but as I stand up I see Knytt with a weird looking gun pointed towards me “This little device was made by The Professor specifically for ridding the world of you it is call the non cardiac crusher it was made for deteriorating the blood inside a body or anything that uses it but only if it’s blood that doesn’t normally cycle through the heart.....something you don’t have now do you~!

As he prepares to fire I just stare at my inevitable doom only to be saved by Wish who throws a rock Knytts head disorienting him causing the shot to hit the cave ceiling forcing the cave to shake violently and cause rocks to fall one of which crushes the guard Locke was still fighting.

“Well that was lucky....now let’s see if I still have some of that luck...” Locke states as he aims for Knytts hand.

Locke fires and hits Knytt right in the hand causing him to drop it and as he goes to retrieve it a rock falls and crushes it angering Knytt greatly forcing him to look towards Wish and Reese.

“I tried to be nice and offer you a job but now you’ve gone and made me angry....a mistake you will take towards your grave. Knytt says as he pulls out a gun aim towards Wish and fires.

Reese quickly stands in front of Wish hoping to intercept the shots only to be blocked by his father who dives in front of both of them taking the incoming shots as he falls he knows he will die soon and he looks toward his children who see their dying father with horrified expressions with only Reese able to speak “Father don’t die ….please don’t die......”

Professor Felix Nitro was a great man who was thought of as a crazy scientist for the things he created or chose to create yet he didn’t care for the publicity he gained as an infamous inventor....no the only things on his mind were his children...even after his wife died.....he was even kind enough to let me live on with him for a good 3 years until he mysteriously disappeared one day....his children feared the worst, but all the while he was very much alive and was told..”things” by the corrupt mind of Knytt Hart and after their encounter he started working for him inventing things for him till his hearts content until he could find me to test his new toy which could destroy me in one hit, but after seeing that I was still with his children he couldn’t and even less after he saw me save them after the guards of the man he worked for attempted to kill them...and after he saw his boss attempt to kill them himself all that went in his mind was to keep them alive and so he would do that until his final breath which came sooner than he expected.

“I’m sorry for…....everything.....please....run away....” After saying this The Professor falls as a lifeless body and as soon as his body fell Wish screamed “FATHER NO NOT YOU TO NO STAND UP PLEASE DON’T DIE ON US NOW?!”

“Tsk.....there goes a great inventor who created the impossible and the improbable....veh he can be replaced in a heartbeat so it doesn’t really matter~.” Knytt says causing my anger to reach untamable levels “KNYTT I WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD AND MOUNT IT ON A POLE?!” this time is was just me talking Ruby seems to have been ejected after I saw what Knytt had done and as I run towards Knytt he draws his sword and waits to clash weapons with me.

“COME NOW MY PATHETIC TWIN I’M SURE THIS WILL BE AN EXCITING BATTLE AND I CAN ALMOST GUARANTEE YOU ONE OF US WILL NOT BE LEAVING THIS CAVE!” He says smug as ever and as we near our encounter I shout “I’LL REASSURE YOU THAT THIS IS THE LAST TIME YOU WILL SEE ANYTHING GO YOUR WAY AND YOU CAN COUNT ON THAT!”

As I now see Knytt standing right in front of me I grab ahold of my bludgeon and swing it towards Knytt who does the same with his sword and the sound of the metal clashing echoes throughout the whole cave.

Enter Equestria

I had nearly forgotten that we were enemies at the beginning of this......sorry I am getting off topic.

As we jump away from our clashing anger Knytt soon takes view of the surrounding area then gains a grim look on his face then runs.

“Where do you think you’re going!” I say towards Knytt who jumps off a into a small gap in the ground only to be caught by a small hoverboard “ Even a fool knows how to not die by a humiliating environmental related death” as he says this he flies off leaving us to deal with the collapsing cave.

“Come on we have to get the heck out of here” Reese says only to have a pile of rocks fall over him.

“REESE?!” Wish shouts out as she rushes towards the pile of rocks that just fell “Please tell me you’re alright......

Reese soon starts talking which fills us all with a sense of relief “I’m fine guys and that shockwave opened an exit for me so i’ll meet the three of you on the outside!” and with that said we all sprint to look for an exit and as we continue running Wish and me get separated from Locke as the floor opens up leaving Locke on the side of the exit “I guess i’ll meet you two outside now hurry up and go find another exit!” is all Locke says before he leaves the cave.

Now Wish had become incredibly terrified from this whole experience so I had to yank her by the arm so she would keep up “We are not going to make it if you don’t pick up the pace!”’ I say hoping to make her move faster “I’m sorry with all that has happened today...i’m sorry for bringing you here Baron...”

Now I nearly slow down as she says this but I keep going for her safety “I don’t regret coming here and true I didn’t enjoy Knytts intrusion but still this was “interesting”.....” with this she picks up speed and we near another exit.

“I see another exit!” and as she says it the ceiling starts to give and as she prepares for the worst I shove her towards the exit “Why.......” is all she manages to say.

“Because I care.....” and after that a pile of rocks falls around me....

“YES THIS IS THE EXACT SPOT I ARRIVED IN THANK YOU BOY WE’RE GOING HOME” Ruby excitedly yell’s forcing me to say “What are you talking about.....clearly there is no way we can move from this spot! and as I finish saying this the ground breaks “Of course......”

As the ground gives I fall in what seems to be a bottomless pit

….....Back to the beginning

“Well im sure when i’ll die I won’t leave too much of a mess on the ground” I say starting to lose it

“Relax captain hopeless we’re still not dead yet....”Ruby says rolling his eye “How can you say that we’ve been falling for an hour....i’m pretty sure its the end of me!”

“Look would you shut up and look around” Ruby says starting to be irritated by my whining “What do you want me to...see....what in the world....” this is all I managed to say after seeing that I was no longer in the cave instead I was dive bombing towards a colorful land mass as I was now in the ….sky?

“How do I go from a cave to high up in the air?” I asked Ruby extremely confused now “Simple I told you that the spot we were on was the way I got to your world from this world here and the area of arrival was just randomly picked.” Ruby says “Wow that’s fascinating but um.......HOW DO I LAND?!” I scream.

“Oh I didn’t think that through.....well see you on the ground Baron.” Is all Ruby says before disappearing into my mind again

As I brace for impact I attempt to steer myself into something that could break my fall and soon I aim for a bush and land hard.

*Thud*

As I land i could’ve sworn the ground shook but I ignore it as I pull myself up “I’m alive?” I say seeing if I wasn’t dreaming “I’M *Bonk* AL.....AUGH” I get beaned in the head by my bludgeon effectively shutting me up “Ow......” is all I say before pulling my body of the land.

“Ow....alright so this is where you came from eh Ruby?” I state as he replies “Yes and it seems you have landed right in......ah yes Canterlot and in the castle grounds no less.”

“What the heck is a Canterlot?” I say completely confused “Canterlot is the most well known area in this world and is home to the royal sisters.” Ruby says glad that he still remembers some things of this world “Well then let’s go pay the royals a visit as we might as well let them know we’re here.” I say as we advance forward only to have Ruby interrupt with “You sure thats a good idea?”

“Trust me....what’s the worst that could happen.”

As we walk around and enter the castle we are greeted by armored......ponies? “Um.....Ruby why are there ponies walking around here?” I ask Ruby who replies with “Oh yes these must be who guard the princesses” he says which just confuses me more “That still doesn’t explain why they are ponies....” as I finish the sentence Ruby says “Oh thats because ponies make up the main population of this part of the land...there are other things too such as griffons, zebras, and dragons to name a few.”

“Stop talking to yourself you trespasser! The guard pony....said?

“I’m no trespasser i’m just here to ask the princesses for a bit of help” I say attempting to get the guard off my back which doesn’t seem to work as he gets mad at me even more “I don’t trust an abomination like you!”

“Abomination.....what gives you the right to call me that!” I shout towards the annoying guard

“Your kind in general seemed weird to me but you seem even less trustworthy with that weird arm of yours as its off color from the rest of your body!”

“What is going in on here?” A Feminine voice speaks up from behind the guards which causes all of them to look over “PRINCESS CELESTIA!” they all shout in unison as they watch a large authority figure behind.

“Princess eh....let me see what she looks like.....GIANT TALKING ALICORN!”

“Yep that would be Princess Celestia.....” Ruby says surprised by my reaction towards the white alicorn with the multi colored mane despite seeing the guard ponies.

“Princess this human was trespassing in your castle!” the guard that I was arguing with just a second ago said “Well atleast they know what I am...”

“Another one?” Celestia says “Are you sure he isn’t one of the ones that were already in our land?”

“This one is different because of his arm.”

“Different....private move over so that I may see this strange one.” Celestia says ordering the guard to move over

As she Started looking towards me she started scanning my body and soon noticed my arm but ignored it as she thought I may have just burned my arm in an accident then continues to identify me but soon comes to a halt as she sees my eyes which makes her go wide eye

“Guards you are all dismissed i must have a private audience with our guest and on your way please alert my sister to join in immediately!” Celestia says having the annoying guard speak up again “But my princess are you sure that is such a good idea?

“Are you questioning my authority private?” She says which has him speak up again “No of course not i’m terribly sorry....carry on.” and with that he sulks away with the other guards following him.

As the guards left Celestia made me follow her into the main room and soon after another alicorn came in, but this one was dark blue with a black as night mane.

“I take it thats Luna right Ruby?” I ask the spirit still inside my head “I may barely remember many things, but yes that would be the princess of the night.”

“Sister why is there another human here and why is he talking to himself.....”

“I was just about to ask him things that I also want to find out Luna” Celestia said averting her gaze from Luna to me “For starters who are you?”

“Who am I.....My name is.......it’s Baron your majesty” I tell the white alicorn in front of me who then follows up with “I don’t want to involve formalities in this conversation but what are you Baron of?”

“The....The Lost Hearts...”

“E-excuse me?” She says making sure she didn’t hear anything wrong

“He said the Lost Hearts....your majesty....” Ruby says appearing in front of the Princesses causing them to go quiet until Luna speaks up “You may have a different form but there is no mistaking it....you are Discords top general Ruby Flames...the flaming soldier of Equestria....”

“Yes thats my name and who did you say I was top general for.....”

“Discord....how would you forget the name of the beast you slaved towards everyday to torment us.” Luna says towards the confused spirit “Because that beast cursed me to be separated from my body and to lose my memories as long as my spirit and body are apart” Ruby says now angered toward the creature he finally remembers.

“Enough of that now Celestia may you tell me why you chose to interrogate me...what did you spot on me that was so suspicious” I ask the Princess of the sun “Well since I now see that your arm is linked to Ruby somehow that answers half of my question but your eyes still confuse me...

If there’s one thing about me that immediately freaks out someone......it’s my eyes...my eye color is red and the part that’s supposed to be white is yellow...

“I don’t know why my eyes are like this as I had them like this since birth...” I say with Ruby following with “He is the other half of Discord so he obviously has to have some qualities of him!”

“So this is who I was sensing after all.......” Celestia says understanding how I look like I am now but causes me to say “After all?”

“I’ll explain....to my and Lunas best we shall attempt to tell you all that we can tell you”

As we walked towards the main entrance of the castle Luna and Celestia start telling me about Discord, about how I could do the things I do, and the first time Celestia started sensing my presence.....

Equestrian Navigation Unit

Looking back I really am glad I agreed to follow him....

As we continue walking I see Celestia’s horn glow and then a light the same color around her horn comes around me but then stops

“It seems banishment is out of the question here....” Celestia says

“You couldn’t banish Discord so what makes you believe you can banish Baron.” Ruby says angered at Celestias attempt to get rid of me.

“She was trying to banish me...?.”

“I’m sorry I just wanted to see if you really are a part of discord, and seeing as you can’t be sent off to the sun or moon proves that you are.”

“Celestia, mind telling me the kinds of ponies there are.... I mean I saw a mixture of winged and horned ponies as your guards.”

“Alright then; first there are earth ponies they are your basic pony who are strong and hard working, then there are unicorns who can cast magic with the help of their horn and vast knowledge, and last but not least there are pegasi winged ponies blessed with flight who are agile and strong....is there anything else you want to know about ponies?”

“No that is all for now about that, but can you tell me what you used to fend off Discord when he was tormenting you and your people?”

“I used the Elements of Harmony....although I can no longer use them as they have new owners.....your companion Ruby is the complete opposite of one of the elements as his hatred towards everything has corrupted him....and he was the most feared of pegasi and was much like a phoenix as he could live forever and not be killed so long as the burning fire of anger and hate existed within the hearts of others....”

“My only purpose I have in this pitiful plane of existence is to destroy that gem or to kill the current holder of it....Even if I don’t work for that damned mish mash of creatures.” Ruby says which causes Celestia to gain a grim look on her face.

“Do not worry Celestia, as long as I lack my body I can’t do much as I can only torment, destroy, and consume the souls of frightened souls that are weak of heart and vulnerable.” As Ruby says this Celestia expression grows all the more grim.

“Carry on I’ll catch up with you in a bit.” Celestia says.

As we left Celestia says to herself “Fluttershy......for your safety I hope you never meet this altered being....”

“Baron was it.....may you tell me how you came to be in a pact with this hot-headed pegasus?” Luna says

“Well he originally attempted to kill me after he found out that I was related to Discord in a way.....but soon agreed to a deal I made with him”

“And what was this deal.....”Luna says only to be cut in by Ruby as he took over my body “I CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS RELATING TO ME ON MY OWN!” We both shout in unison only to have Ruby eject himself as soon as we finished.

“Very well.....tell me then Flames....”

“The deal was he would get me back in Equestria so that I may exact my revenge on Discord for betraying and cursing me....then I would either be able to incinerate him from the inside effectively killing him or consuming his soul and body to fuel my own needs so long as I left him alive on the spot there.”

“Why would you make a deal like that if you will still perish?” Luna says “Because I don’t embrace death and I try to escape it with each chance I get.....I’ve been placed on the spot many times to finally grow a phobia towards it......as long as i’m alive now i’m happy and will continue to be....”

“After I reclaim my body, destroy discord, anything relating to him, and the holder of the elements it will be my decision what I will do with my powers from there on out.......I may choose to overthrow you......but that is an idea for another day mind you.” Ruby says which startles Luna into shouting in a voice that nearly makes my head explode “I WILL MAKE SURE YOU WILL DO NONE OF THE SORT TO US!”

“I knew I could make you use that voice if I said that” Ruby says as he starts laughing like a maniac which causes Luna to facehoof.

“At least I can try to talk to you for a truthful answer Baron...”

“Well I will try to find Ruby’s body first.....if Discord truly is as you two described him as then I will need more firepower if I am going to face Discord.

“What?! we’re not going straight towards him?” Ruby said disappointed at my suggestion “Well there is a much more greater chance of taking him on with the two of us against him.”

“Fair enough....and gaining my body again does sound like a good idea” Ruby says finally tempted

“Any idea where your body may be Ruby?” I ask only for him to grow depressed again “I can’t remember…..”

Soon after Ruby finishes, Celestia joins in again

“Do you have all the information you need to know Baron?”

“For now Celestia, but I am sure I will need to know something else later.”

“And we will do our best to settle your curiosity.”

As we stand outside of the castle Celestia turns towards us “So what will you do now?” and I reply with “Well we need to find Ruby’s body so that is the first thing we have decided to do here.”

“Very well the last place that we heard any events caused by you was in ponyville.....of course that was many many years ago......so my guards will send you there on an escort as I believe my prized student may be able to help you find the body of Ruby.”

“The boy doesn’t need an escort.......I can take him to ponyville easily....why I can be his E.N.U.” Ruby says hoping to take me to ponyville as he is confident that he is not completely useless with his lack of memory.

“A what?” Me and the princesses say in unison

“An Equestrian Navigation Unit....WITH ME THE BOY SHALL NEVER GET LOST!” Ruby says with booming ambition.

“Are you sure......fine then I see your mind is made up.....I must send a letter to my student alerting her of your arrival...is that fine Baron?”

“If it stops more ponies from freaking out at the sight of me then yes thats a great idea”

“Ruby I have forgotten to ask.......do you by chance happen to know what happened to the five other generals that worked for Discord or his right hand Pony?” Celestia says towards Ruby “No.....I was the first one he did away with so I don’t know what happen to them or his left hand one...”

“Left?.....ah yes there were eight of you not six.....well i’m sorry Ruby....anyway carry on with your walk and please do be careful........

“We will try” I say hoping to ease her worry as we walk off but she stops me

“Wait Baron I need you to have this” she says as she gives me a small sun shaped token “What is this?”

“Its something that is linked to my magic so that I can track where you are.” She says which angers me “So you don’t trust me enough do you....”

“N-No its not that..its just that.....” she says hesitantly trying to explain “Forget it......I understand....” as I finish my sentence me and Ruby continue to walk off.

“Sister are you sure helping Ruby is a good idea?” Luna says towards Celestia “If he plans to get rid of Discord then yes, and we will try to see what we can do about the rest of his plans after he does away with him.....now I must be off to inform twilight of their arrival....I hope they make it their all right....”

As we walk trying to find an exit we soon notice Canterlot is on a mountainside and both facepalm “I guess we will need to take a train down....”

“NO.....lets just scale down the mountain.” Ruby says attempting to keep me following his path “Fine then lets find a spot to scale down...”

As we walk towards a non steep area of the mountain we bump into the annoying guard one more “Huh.....oh it’s you......” he says completely unhappy by my appearance.

“Oh hey its you again....what’s up?”

“I’m following my daily patrols around the town and castle.....now what do you want....”

“How bout for starters you tell me your name.”

“My name.....why?” he says confused by my request “Because I always want to know the names of people I dislike or who dislike me.” I say tormenting him.

“Very well if it will make you leave me alone....my name is Blankwave now off with you.”

“I hope that we can be “friends” one day Blank....ta-ta.” I say giving him a smile which he returns with one of his own.

We find an area able to be scaled down and proceed to the bottom......unfortunately it doesn’t stay that way as the mountainside grows steep again and I end up sliding down the mountain landing hard on the ground...

*Thud*

“Ow.....ok then E.N.U. were now?”

“Straight forward my boy and we will make it there easily.” Ruby says floating in a straight line.

After about two hours I see that we end up in a wasteland like area and then I speak up towards the hopelessly lost Ruby “Ruby...admit it we’re lost...”

“NEVER WE ARE NOT LOST!” after we continue forward the sun intensity picks up and Ruby speaks up again “Alright i’m wrong.....we’re lost....and now you’re going to die......”

“Yes we are go......WHAT DO YOU MEAN ONLY ME?!” I say annoyed towards Ruby “Because I am a spirit at the moment and you are not.”

“If I pass out from the heat......you won’t....be mobile....until I wake up....again...” I say as I fall down.

*Thud*

“I did not think about that.....” is all Ruby says before getting sucked back in my mind again.

I stare at the sun as I soon pass out from the heat.....

Enter Outcast Baron

He was strict on the outside....but loyal and brave on the inside.....if I only reacted sooner....

So much time has passed since I have passed out....

“I am unconscious, yet at the same time.....i’m not.....it’s so dark and quiet here....I don’t like it....someone......help me...”

As I stayed there unconscious someone or something approaches my immobile body.

“This is where we intercepted the large flow of magic sir, and no doubt it was from the “princess”...but I wonder why this thing has it.”

After whoever said that finished another person grabs the token Celestia gave to me

“That thing is a human....and the field of magic came from this....” said the being who I presumed to be the leader of this expedition “Get up and tell me where or how you got this!” is all he says as he picks up my body only to toss it back on the ground as he finishes “He’s out.....pick him up and take him back to the city.”

“On it sir!” three men said in unison

From that last sentence I was able to tell that there were at least four of them...three being guards.

…....Eight hours later

“Hey.....can you hear me...please wake up......I want to talk to you about your species....you seem like a fun creature to chat with...” says a kind and gentle voice, and it was obviously a female speaking “A-Are you even alive anymore.....”

After hearing her finish that sentence I couldn’t take it anymore and tried in all my power to wake up...but to no avail.

“Oh well....at least I tried to see if you would wake up...”

With that I tried again and my body finally started to stir filling her with joy “You are alive....i’m so glad.....oh my i’m actually tearing up.” she said with her voice breaking.

With that said I furiously tried to sit up and say hello for something inside did not enjoy hearing anyone sad....and with that I finally woke up to a happy earth pony crying tears of joy.

“Hi there miss.....” this is all I managed to force out of my mouth “Hello there......I’m glad you finally woke up” she says with tears still falling on her face.

As I sit up she wipes away her tears then introduces herself “My name is Pure.”

“Hello there Pure my name is Baron, and do you mind me asking where am I?”

“Oh right I should have said that first....you are in Honorbound.”

“Honorbound....I thought I was in Equestria....” I say which makes her laugh “No silly Honorbound is the name of the city....it’s located in the wasteland plains of Kar-Kes...the whole wasteland area is not a part of the country of Equestria however.

“Why is that?”

“Because they used the area to toss out exiled people...or to those who just chose to run away from their lives.....it is used because they thought the people out here would die and no longer be a problem towards others.”

“Wow.....that’s horrible....It doesn’t seem to fit the....appearance of this world......”

“Well things aren’t always happy in the world....sometimes things you never expect to happen still happen regardless.”

“Um....is Honorbound the only city here?”

“Oh no there are a total of five cities here....they are Honorbound, Will Myre, Mt. Pride, Bravery Lake, and Morale Kingdom...and they all are in a ring formation with a post in the center guarding an item that gives the people of the five settlements hope to carry on.”

“Who started this all?”

“The same being that found you while scout the wasteland Lord Clawfang.”

“So if these cities are filled with the exiled and outsiders...do they consist of more than just ponies?”

“Yes.....oh my I seem to have kept you here longer then needed....Clawfang wanted to see you the second you woke up.....to see what he would do with you.” as she says this she grows worried at the mention of me meeting Clawfang.

“What’s the matter....you grew extremely pale the second you mention my encounter with Clawfang.”

“Well he isn’t one who easily embraces newcomers here.”

“Veh....he doesn’t scare me...let’s go meet him!”

After following the still unsure earth pony we reach a big facility with a dragon the same size as me covered in armor pops up.

“Ah pure seeing you here must mean that this is the one we found holding this...” as he says this he pulls out the token Celestia gave me “You can have this back....”

“Thank you....Clawfang I presume?”

“You are correct I am the founder of this two thousand and five hundred year old outsider settlement, yet I myself am have lived longer then it.”

“What.....but you don’t even look the slightest bit old..” after I say this he grows angry “I was cursed to live for an eternity.....the only thing that could rid the world of me is dying in battle....which is impossible since I live for battle and refuse to die from one ....what a horrible position to be placed in...”

“I’m so sorry, but one more thing how are you my size....I pictured dragons to be a whole lot bigger.”

“Well true dragons are huge when fully grown, but after being alive as long as I have you learn many things to do including dark magic ability that was thought impossible for a dragon to learn or master.”

“Amazing.....so is there anything in particular you wanted to do with me that you requested me?.”

“Yes follow me inside this building”

With that me Pure and Clawfang go inside the large building and as we go in deeper we start to hear the roar of a crowd which then shocks Pure “Sir you can’t seriously suggest sending him into the warrior hall already!”

“Nonsense...we found him holding an unusually large bludgeon....no doubt he is a fighter....I want to see how he fairs in battle.”

Hearing Clawface mention my bludgeon soon prompts me into noticing it is no longer on my back “Hey where is my bludgeon anyway?!”

“Stored it away with my guards...you will not be using it for now.” Clawfang says forcing Pure to speak up again “But then how will he fight?!”

“Pure you worry too much for new people....especially this one.....” when he finishes he laughs at the sight of the flustered earth pony.

“You wait here while I change the arena first....you will first go through an....obstacle course to see how well you are with your body.”

“Seems fine to me.”

As he walks off I soon remember not hearing anything from Ruby in a bit “Ruby are you there....if you are speak up.”

Pure looks up to the sight of me talking to no one “B-Baron are you alright because if you need to lay down and rest i’m pretty sure you can use me as a pillow.”

“No i’m fine I don’t.....wait what now?”

“N-Nothing...I said nothing!”

As I see the struggling earth pony attempt to think of something to say Clawfang calls me “Baron its time for you to come over here.”

“Guess thats my cue.” I say towards Pure “Please be careful out there...”

I walk my way towards the door Clawfang went through and arrive to an open colosseum type area with him sitting on a throne-like chair “Baron to start this little challenge take that lift down to the ground level.”

I take the lift down and soon get off to see a huge array of obstacles in front of me.

“MY HUMBLE SUBJECTS.....HERE WE HAVE A NEWCOMER AND IT IS WITH THIS TRAINING METHOD THAT WE HAVE USED SINCE THE BEGINNING THAT WE SHALL SEE IF HE HAS THE BRAWNS, THE BRAINS, AND THE BRASS TO SURVIVE AND SEE IF HE IS ONE OF US!” Clawfang shouts to the crowd which causes a wave of cheers to emit from them.

“S-Survive.....oh dear.....” I say shocked towards Clawfang’s speech.

I take one long look at the crowd then immediately dive in the obstacle course with only one thing on my mind to do.....survive.

Useless Tricks and Highwire Kicks

The trials.....and they said playing to many games would never help you in anyway.....hehehehe....

As I stand on the platform which seems to be the starting point the way back collapses meaning that the only way out is at the end of this obstacle course.

“Alrighty then I guess finishing this is my only way out........”

A make a straight dart forward.....big mistake as the walls to the left and right of me start shooting darts at high speed towards me.

“Oh god this is bad.....Ruby if you’re there....feel free to pop in and help me here....”

I spastically start bobbing and weaving in hopes that I dodge all the darts which only works in half the way I wanted to for as I near the end of this part of the run I ended up with at least 6 darts in my back.

“Argh i’m too young to be a human pin cushion....”

I clear the dart trap part of the course and start to pull out the darts wedge in my back and soon head towards the next bit this time more cautiously and soon see that floor tiles are booby trapped with different things due to discoloration but makes me wonder to which is the right path to take......

“Alright um.....this one...no that one....no.....”

I give up and step on the green block which immediately clicks causing me to jump back and as I do the green block explodes.

“So green isn’t the way to go......I guess im going to have to try all of em....

I step on a red block which ignites on fire, a blue one which immediately summon spikes around it, and a black one which caused more darts to be shot at me.

“What the hell they're all deadly......”

“Everyone always gets stumped on that bit boy......don’t die too soon on me.” Clawfang says from his throne area as he starts to laugh then drinks from a jug next to him.

“If I can’t walk on the floor.....then maybe I can use the walls!” as I say this I immediately do a wall run which forces Clawfang to do a spit take “W-What......how did he?”

“Man am I glad I went to those Parkour lessons with Reese.....and Locke said it was a worthless thing to learn!” I laugh wholeheartedly after saying this.

I run over the tile traps and soon land on a weird looking rubber type floor pattern which starts moving like a conveyor belt.

“This is it....just trying to slow me down...unless...” I look back only to see a huge rock fall and start rolling forward “Figures....”

I soon kick into overdrive which causes smoke to come from the ground and slow the backwards motion of the floor and cause the rock to slow down as well..

“And they said running would never help me in any way!”

As I near the end I jump the rest of it then show off to the crowd.

“There is nothing that this obstacle course can do that I can’t handle!” with that said the crowd started roaring with cheers and remarks both of joy and anger from my boast...all of which forces Clawfang to say “Then you’re going to love this next bit....

I walk up towards the next trap and see a twisted walkway that seems to be similar to a rollercoaster.

“So I have to run this without falling off....seems fair...”

“Well that’s only part of what you need to do......but you’ll see that soon enough.” Clawfang said with a smile forming on his face.

I start running trying to clear the messed up path the fastest I can and soon start to hear faint cracking but I ignore it as I continue running.

“This is easy....I wonder why Pure was so worried.” soon as I stop talking the cracking sound is now louder.

I turn to see that the runaway is now collapsing and still going up towards me

“Oh thats what he meant....now I see why she was worried......”

With the destruction finally catching up to me I start to panic, but soon see that even though the stone path is falling the metal parts of it are still there left as a railing.

“This gives me a great idea.”

I grab one of the falling stones then quickly place it in front of me and turn it on its side and slide on the railing with it as a makeshift skateboard and as I do the adrenaline in me causes me to enjoy it much to Clawfangs displeasure.

“WOOHOO THIS IS AWESOME!”

As I approach a broken piece of railing I see that it continues farther away so I use the broken railing as a ramp and jump in the air and do a forward spin in the air, but something in me prompts me to say something else.....

“BACKFLIP!”

Clawfang soon speaks up as he sees me name my aerial move the wrong thing “But that was a frontflip boy,,,,” as he finishes I soon yell to him “I DON’T CARE........WHY DID I SAY THAT?”

As I stay on the railing I soon see the upcoming bit is made of glass and as I near it the railing gets less stable for me to stay on it and flicks me in the air.

“This could be bad....” As I say this I quickly try to think of something that can save me from falling off or through the glass.

Nearing the glass ever so closely I have decided to wing it and turn the board with the nose pointing towards the glass and ride the glass in an attempt to survive the run.

“AHHHHHHHHHH” is all I managed to say while riding on the glass and violently shaking with each piece that broke and I make it to the end barely in one piece

As I completely finish the run I still look back amazed on how I half assed that run.

“H-Ha that was e-easy....what’s left....” I look up as I finish and see Pure with a paper bag breathing in and out of it after seeing me just barely make it past the last trap.

“All thats left is for you to get out.....good luck.” immediately as Clawfang finishes the ground starts to break entirely.

“Oh come on!”

I look everywhere for a possible exit and soon I find the lift that will get me out, but the only problem left is getting to it.

“It never gets easier does it...”

Running around the breaking floor and avoiding lava that was bursting out I almost make it to the lift only to have the floor separating me from the lift to collapse.

“I’m getting a...you need to use the broken debris as a path across feel...from this...”

As i say that I start scouting for broken pieces of the ground to use as a bridge towards the other side.

“Come on...come on......i’m a little pressed for time here.....

I finally find a slab of land I can use and soon another until I nearly made it towards the other side and there were no more stones to use.

“No.....not now.....not when i’m close...guess i’ll have to jump it....but I don’t have enough room for a running start.”

With caution thrown to the wind I jump and land on the near edge of the platform with the lift and stupidly start to gloat “Ha this was nothing” as I finished the ground started to break nearly tossing me in the pool of lava “Okay i’m out!”

I make a sprint for the lift and get on with it taking off soon after.

“Amazing....what a strange way of clearing this course.....BUT NONE THE LESS HE COMPLETED THE OBSTACLE COURSE....HE HAS COMPLETED CHALLENGE ONE OF THREE AND HE SHALL RETURN IN A BIT AFTER HE RECOLLECTS HIS BREATH TO COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING TWO CHALLENGES!” Clawfang shouts again to the crowd which shocks me “T-Two more challenges....well this won’t end well.”

I walk out the exit and go down the hallway to meet up with Clawfang in his area again and when I open the door I am pounced by a crying Pure who clings to me and refuses to let go “I-I thought you.....w-were going to.....d-die out there....” and I immediately try to heed her “Don’t worry Pure....it’s going to take a lot more than that to get rid of me.”

“Then that means you can easily handle challenge number two!” Clawfang says to me with the crying earth pony still in my hands “Please Clawfang just stop it now....Baron made it past the obstacle course...isnt that enough?" Pure says still trying to get Clawfang to stop the challenges.

“Don’t worry Pure I can handle it....I hope...”

“Alright hold on.” Clawfang pulls a lever causing the destroyed area to changed from an obstacle course to big multi platform battlefield type area with four big cargo boxes“Get on the lift to start the challenge.”

I get back on the lift and get taken down to the arena and soon hear Clawfang again.

“AND WE ARE BACK WHERE BARON WILL NOW FACE OFF FOR SURVIVAL IN A DEATHMATCH FIGHT AGAINST THE CORRUPTED, SPITEFUL, AND TRAITOROUS OUTSIDER SOULS WHICH WE CALL MASQUERADE MARAUDERS!”

“Well he’s just full of surprises for me isn’t he....”

Soon after the four huge cargo boxes open up and a bunch of griffons cladded in dark armor pop out some with just their bare claws and others with weird looking guns.

“Baron my boy here you may need this....it’s not what we use, but hey atleast you can use it temporarily for this fight until you earn your right for a better one!” Clawfang says as he tosses a gun that seems similar to that of a shotgun.

“So it’s me versus about fifty corrupted griffons......Ruby seriously i’m waiting for you to pop up at any time here as I could use the help." I say towards the still soundless spirit in my head

Now seeing that Ruby still hadn’t gotten free from my mind I just rush in the mass mob of griffons with my gun hoping to survive the fight and soon me and the masquerade marauders all shout one line in unison.

“LIVE AND LET DIE FOR MY FUTURE I TRY.......”

Burning Ambition

Oh god explaining this to her.......my ass is still killing me.....and Kei just stood there laughing as she beat me......hehe......at least Pure held back....

I land a perfect bullseye on one of the griffons killing him instantly and soon start dodging bullets fired from nearby marauders around the dead one and soon start returning fire.

“And I thought things that had perfect swiftness, guile, and the ability to fly had the accuracy to shoot direct hits all the time!” as I say this they all get mad and start shooting all they had at me which was stupid as they run out of ammunition within two minutes until they send in ones with speared guns that had the ability to launch an electric shock “WHERE THE HELL DO YOU GET THESE KINDS OF THINGS IN THIS WORLD I MEAN SERIOUSLY?!”

Thankfully despite the deadly weaponry the griffons using it had terrible use of it as their anger blindly made them fire wildly, inaccurately, and horribly timed as I made most of them zap, stab, and shoot their own comrades.

“Ha I guess corruption destroys your mind enough to spastically shoot your own comrades on the field of battle.

I use every marauder to my advantage as most of them become useful meatshield.

“Hey ugly over here!” I duck behind a unsuspecting marauder as I say this and another ends up blowing his brains out while I stay behind the headless body and I repeat this process four more times with much more tormenting insults.

With that they grow more angry lowering their guards long enough for me to shoot more of them down and soon twenty-five are dead.

“You griffons need more focus amongst yourselves.....how the hell are you even a threat to the outsiders anyway....” As I say this a dark voice speaks up, but I can make it out that its a female speaking “MARAUDERS LINE UP AND STAND BY FOR BATTLE!”

I look over to see a green colored dragon cladded in dark armor, and she was the same size as Clawfang, but not the same age....clearly this one was a teenager dragon.

“So I take it you’re the one leading these pathetic meatheads?” I say to the dragon girl ”Yep they may have a temper that causes them to lose all coordination, but thats why I’m here, and hey you would need a leader to if your brain was completely deteriorated causing destructive movements when unsupervised.”

“Fair enough, but enough on discussions with your troops and onward with the fight.”

As I say this she jumps back and orders the remaining griffons to battle on “LINE HALT AND OVERWHELM HIM NOW!”

“That doesn’t sound like a friendly order to hug me......”

With that given command the marauders started closing in on me and as I try to shoot them I soon notice I am out of ammo “Not good...” I say as they get even closer to me.

“Ruby come on please I need your help here now!” as I say this a couple of marauders grab my legs and stop my movement cold “Please man this is no time to screw around!” they latch on my torso and arms leaving only my head free “Seriously if you are here I need you to help me stop them!” they start closing in for my head “IF YOU ARE TRYING TO SCREW AROUND WITH ME CHOOSE A DIFFERENT TIME CAUSE NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR A JOKE!” one marauder dives on me “Ruby...” another dives on stops my air flow “Ruby!” one more stopping the sounds I can hear from the outside “RUBY?!” a final one stopping my screams from being heard.

“BARON?” Pure shouts from Clawfangs area which has Clawfang following with “It seems that Baron has taken his final breath” and as he says this a rumbling fills the room causing him to speak up again “What the....” is all he says as most of the floor opens up revealing lava around the area where the marauders were on top of me.

“GET OFF ME YOU USELESS SACKS OF LIFE!” me and Ruby shout in unison as the marauders get blasted off of us in a cartoon type manner into lava “HAHA IT SEEMS WE NOW HAVE TEN SERVINGS OF EXTREMELY FRIED GRIFFON FOR DINNER!”

With thirty-five dead it just leaves fourteen griffons and the dragon “NOW TO FINISH WHAT’S LEFT!” the remaining griffons stupidly rush at me “Think you can handle them Ruby.” I say towards the spirit that had finally awaken inside my mind “Are you kidding this is nothing but child’s play!”

I clutch one of the griffon’s heads in my hands the my arm ignites on fire with the griffon and I soon toss the burning griffon on a group of his comrades igniting them as well and I jump in front of a griffon who froze from the sight of the burning marauders and I thrust my arm through him with his heart now in my hand which was now coming out of his back.

“Oh i’m sorry....did you need this?” I say towards the dying marauder “Well i’m afraid that this is no longer usable.......i’m dreadfully sorry....LET ME GET RID OF IT FOR YOU!” as I say this I crush the heart and pull my arm out of the dead griffon that falls on the floor.

Now that just leaves ten of them with the griffons trembling in their armor, but the dragon standing there still processing the sudden rage and power I had just acquired “Well since you are not going to make a move.....I’LL TAKE MY TURN THEN!” I lunge in and forcefully shove a griffon into the lava pool then I grab a nearby griffon and do the same while another marauder jumps head on at me only to hook him with my red arm into the lava “Man if this were Left 4 Dead I so would have earned the achievement Hunter Punter.”

“Come on you are making this too easy.....and you are supposed to be the brains of this group aren’t you?” I say towards the dragon angering her greatly “You think I need these brainless idiots...as if!” with that said she claws and incinerates the remaining griffons “Now try killing me blondie!” she says towards me after disposing of her group “DON’T INSULT MY HAIR COLOR!” I grab her and lift her over my head “BATHE IN LAVA YOU SCUM!” with that said I throw her in the lava which was a stupid mistake as she rises from the pool of lava “Of course with you being a dragon that would be a daily thing for you......I am an idiot....”

“Yes you are....NOW PERISH!” with that she breathes fire and stirs lava waves in an attempt to melt me of the platform “Sorry but bathing in lava isn’t a thing I do normally and don’t plan on doing sometime soon so good luck trying to burn me missie!”

She dives back into the pool of lava swimming around to another edge of the arena and tries to do the same thing again and she repeats this process over and over “God I need to get out of her sight, but how....”

With all hope starting to fade I soon take another look at the bodies that were still left on the platform....they weren’t sanitary, but they could provide cover, and I really didn’t have much of a choice at the time “Well I hope this works!” as I say this I shove a few bodies together and hide within them as soon as another pool of lava and fire rushes across the floor and the dragon resurfaces only to see nothing but her fallen comrades “Well looks like I finally got him!” she jumps onto the platform and shakes off the lava then stands in the center of the platform “Guess I win this challenge hahaha!” I jump from the bodies making a loud sound in which she quickly turns around “WHERE ARE YOU?!” is all she manages to say before I reappear “RIGHT BEHIND YOU!” I insert my arm through her back, but it doesn’t go all the way through her due to her scales, but that was not my plan anyway “So you dragons don’t get burn from the outside....BUT HOW DO YOU FARE FROM INCINERATION COMING FROM WITHIN!” with that said my arm burst into flames igniting her insides which cause her to scream in agony as she slowly starts to disintegrate from within.

“Well Ruby this is something I find undermining your true abilities.” I say towards Ruby who's in control of my arm that was killing off the dragon girl “Really...i’m going all out here with your body not mine so it means that you’re dragging me back..” Ruby says in defense “Well then forget I said anything and lets just finish off this dragon!”

I pull my arm out only to see a fountain of blood take its place within the hole in her back and soon I pick up the dazed slowly dying dragon and toss her in the lava having it seep in the hole in her back burning her even more from within finishing her off permanently.

“Glad to have you back Ruby, but why did you come at such a late time...” I say towards him “I’ll tell you later, but for now...” with that said he connects our minds once again “WHO ELSE WILL YOU SEND FOR ME TO SLAUGHTER CLAWFANG.....I CAN BRING I CAN TAKE ON ANYONE HERE FOR THE THIRD PART OF MY CHALLENGE!”

“That is your third challenge already, but with what I just saw.......who will I send to face you.....” is all Clawfang manages to say until someone speaks up “You got a big mouth blondie, but if you managed to shut up Clawfang then I guess I should intervene to see why you were enough to do so....yeah....I’LL BE YOUR CHALLENGER FOR YOUR FINAL CHALLENGE!”

As I look up I see a griffon who was at least four or five inches bigger then me and the crowd goes ballistic and shout his name for choosing to fight me “GO GALE GO!” is all they shout in unison repeatedly and with that I take the lift up and once again go into Clawfangs room.

“Well to get Gale into a fight with a newcomer.....I must say you proved your metal boy.....but I doubt you’ll stay long with that training gun.”Clawfang says to me after witnessing the current events that took place just now “yep you’ll need one of our guns.”

“I thought I needed to clear all the challenges first?” I say towards him “True, but given the conditions of you fighting a strong and well known fighter i’ll make an exception for you.....come follow me to the mech room where we can get you better equipped.”

“What happened to Pure?”

“Oh she passed out after she saw you tormenting the marauders when they were all on top of you.”

I follow Clawfang into a deeper part of the building and the scenery changed from ancient ruins to a mechanical future type area “What the hell........” as I finish the sentence Clawfang speaks up “Surprised....don’t be there are many types of metal and ore alongside other material that allow all this to be possible....alongside our engineers and the marauders we can build things like these even more amazing things that you would only see to dream.......this is why it’s only located here...”

“Wow that’s.....incredible.....anyway I just saw you pass many doors that have symbols signifying it’s a mechanic room...why didn’t you go in one of them?” I say towards the dragon “Because i’m taking you to see our best mechanic...she is a bit flighty however.....and never leaves her station as she prefers to stay working on different machines improving them....and one particular machine that is broken beyond repair, yet she still attempts to get it up and running again.”

“Then how does she know whats going on in the city and buildings?”

“She installed cameras everywhere.....anything that is happening around the area she will see it.....creepy if you ask me......”

“What’s her name?” I ask with a response added almost immediately “Her name is Kei and here we are.....i’ll leave you to get your weapon...”

“Wait you not staying?”

“No she will already know what you will be there for.....at least I hope she knows given she wasn’t on the machine again during the fight....oh and one more thing....if she is on that machine....don’t look at her....trust me....” he says in a voice that that tempts me to do the opposite “Why not...” i say which he responds just to shut me up “Look i’m trying to save you from an embarrassing moment.....but if you don’t want to listen then do whatever you want....good luck.”

Clawfang walks off leaving me alone, and with that I enter the room

“Ruby since we’re alone now mind telling me... WHY THE HELL YOU TOOK SO LONG IN HELPING ME BACK THERE?”

“Simple....I enjoy being “fashionably” late to things...including fights!” after he finishes I respond angrily with “NEXT TIME DO THAT WHEN THE STAKES AREN’T SO HIGH IDIOT!”

“Fine then didn’t think you would get so angry....but at least you should know that all that fighting and rage came from you....I can’t do much using your body given my current form so all I can do is awaken one percent of your full capabilities....seeing as I once worked for discord I saw the things he is capable of and managed to give some of that to you....but not enough for either of us to work with.”

“I didn’t think such a thing was possible...”

“Believe it boy.”

We carry on walking and soon start to hear whistling and as I approach the source I see its a female unicorn who was working on a strange machine...her head was inside it with several tools attempting to fix the machine....all the while she was shaking her backside in a swaying hypnotic motion in tune to the song she was whistling to.

“Baron you alright?”

“Can’t.........stop.........staring.........to.......hypnotic........help......me....”

My eyes were glued at the sight and now more then ever I wished they weren’t as for a split second her tail flew an inch higher from the swaying exposing a much more private area from her “Oh god I wish I could unsee that!”

She immediately turned around after hearing me say that “W-What.....”

“Hi........

With all restraint gone she throws a wrench hoping for it to hit and all the while time feels like it is slowing down.

“How do I get myself into these situations....”

Man vs Wall of Pain

No matter how annoying he may be....Gale will always be my main back up.....next to my brothers in loyalty you could say.

“Careful you could’ve hit me with that thing!” I say towards the still startled unicorn “That’s what I intended on doing!” Kei said tossing even more tools towards me.

I dodge the incoming array of tools until she finally runs out “Will you please stop now i’m not here to hurt you!”

“Why did you sneak up on me then while I was working.........unless.......YOU PERVERT!”

“I’m no pervert.....I just thought when Clawfang told me not to look at you when you were working on that thing I thought he was setting me up for a joke....now I see I became the plot of the joke...”as I say this I come to the conclusion that it was not the smartest thing to say given the current event that took place as her face became completely red and soon she started hurling large pieces of metal once more at me until she finally calmed down “Now....for what reason did you come here.”

“Clawfang said I needed to gain a “real fighting gun” for my next challenge.”

“Wait you’re still doing the challenges.....why would Clawfang suggest that?”

“He said he made an exception for me after seeing that Gale wanted to be my final challenge.”

“YOU'RE FACING GALE?!” she says amazed at what I got myself into.

“Why is everyone overreacting at me getting challenged by that hulking wall of griffon?”

“Gale is a well known fighter and has amazing strength and uses weaponry to match his style of fighting.......something you will see soon enough....anyway follow me.”

I follow the unicorn towards an assortment of weaponry “Please hand over that training gun.” the second she finishes her sentence I hand over the “training gun” and she immediately hands over a weird look gun that looks more like a backpack “And this is supposed to be what exactly?”

She sighs at my confusion “It’s your new gun genius....and you’re lucky cause i’m giving you the first of this new gun....the others use different type of hunting guns......just let me give you your personality efficient mod to complete it...now lets see your body schematics....”

She brings down a weird machine with a wide lens and it immediately scans me “Weird i’m not picking up any heartbeat or sense of emotion from you.....”

“Well I don’t have a heart and no emotions.....cept empathy, hate, and anger.”

“A-Are all y-your species l-like that?” she stutters after hearing what I said “No......it just seems I was an exception.....unfortunately.”

“W-What about your a-arm?” the second she finishes Ruby pops out from my arm “You rang?” with his appearance Kei fell over shocked at the ghost in me “Who are you?”

“Ruby Flames my little pony and an ex general of Discord.”

“Heh never thought I would see one of them up close......not after he got imprisoned and all......so I take it he’s the reason you feel anger and hate?”

“You guessed correctly” I say in a monochrome tone.

“I see.....so your insides burn for battle alongside Ruby’s natural hatred of everything and anything...I GOT THE PERFECT MOD ADJUSTMENT FOR YOU!” she says overjoyed in a tone similar to Wish when she found a name for me “Yes the red mod will work perfectly for your gun....it uses the power of fire generated from hatred and anger towards the enemy or the anger stored within the user.....matches you perfectly so long as you have that guy with you.....so place this piece in your gun and voila!”

She hands me a red box that feels as if it were alive with the heat it was expelling “So I place this in here and.....WHOA!” as I place the box within the backpack type gun it turns in a small gun that latches to my arm that seems like a mini hand cannon “Yes this mod will be fun for its “explosive measures”.....you better get to your battle with Gale now....must not keep them waiting....and be careful with the knockback and recoil of that gun!”

As she forces me out I soon notice that her area has become a mess “I’m pretty sure I can stay a bit longer to fix up your place.....i’m mean it’s my fault that it ended up like this....it’s the least I can do.”

“Nononononononono I can handle on my own you don’t need to waste your own time helping me....” as she says this her face turns a deep shade of crimson.

“Yes I going to help you and that’s final”

As I say this she immediately tries to force me out and as I move backwards I trip on a fallen pipe and fall backwards with her in my arms with both land on the floor and unfortunately our lips meet as well, and to make matters even worse another pony dropped in to make sure I wasn’t trying to run away from my third challenge.

“B-Baron.....?” is all Pure says at the sight of me and kei stuck in an unwanted kiss lock.

Kei immediately breaks the kiss and tries to explain “Oh hey Pure......what you just saw there was a complete and total accident....you know a guy would never want to be with me...”

“Kei.....you stole my first kiss with him!” as she says this I immediately try to clear my name “She didn’t kiss me and she really didn’t steal your first kiss with......wait what now?”

Before I could continue my proving my innocence Pure attempted to buck Kei, but she avoided it leaving me to get hit and I got sent flying through eight walls before coming to a complete halt “Ow.....”

My body is strange as my weight is lighter than that of air no matter how much I eat.....and I don’t eat much to begin with anyway, but I can alter my weight at will to anything heavier than my current weight and right back to it.......gives a new meaning to lightweight, heavyweight, or deadweight doesn’t it, but even so there was no possible way for that small earth pony to actually send me flying that far.

“Baron are you alright.....you got sent farther than you should have.”

“Thats cause I was in lightweight mode.....” I say still holding my body in pain

“Lightweight mode?” both girls say in unison confused about what I said

As I explain my weight abilities to the two ponies I also state that I should not have gotten tossed that far from the kick that Pure deliver until Kei answers that.

“That is easily explainable....Pure is the strongest earth pony alive......correction the strongest being alive in this world.....however she never uses it as she is completely terrified of everything and nothing ever prompts her to use it.....until you came into her life apparently.” with the final part said she sticks her tongue out in a teasing manner “H-Hey....don’t say that with him here.....”

“Anyway.....lets go.....I have to finish my third challenge....I can see you don’t want me to help you tidy things up here...so I better be off.”

I leave the area leaving the two mares behind “And I don’t want to see you there looking at him!” Pure said towards Kei “As if I wanted to be there!” and with that said Pure left the room leaving Kei alone “But I really do want to be there.......”

I meet up with Clawfang in his area of the arena again “You got your weapon from Kei.....amazing you got the new untested weapon....hehehe this should be fun....you know the drill by now Baron.”

I take the lift down to a new area fitted for a one on one battle and soon Gale drops down on another lift.

“Well little man are you ready to fight in you last battle?” as Gale finishes his taunt I respond with my own “I wasn’t told you like talking about yourself in third person!” as I say this everyone in the room laughs at the now angered griffon “Oh we have a comedian here.....i’m going to enjoy this even more now!”

As we take are stance and glare at each other Clawfang speaks up again “IN NATURE ONLY THE STRONGEST SURVIVE.......LIFE IS A COMPLETE CHALLENGE FOR EVERYONE....SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST.....AND HERE WE HAVE A GREAT DEMONSTRATION BETWEEN GALE THE FLYING WRECKING BALL AND BARON THE DEMON KNIGHT!”

“Demon Knight.....well you sure are earning yourself a great load of publicity Baron....better title than mine!” Ruby says mocking me on my newly given title.

“You ready for this blondie!” Gale says to me “Ready when you are meathead!”

We both shout a line in unison “WITH YOUR BLOOD FALLING IN THE NIGHT, PREPARE TO LOSE THIS FIGHT”.

Gale pulls out a minigun that was on his back and starts to fire “Eat this little man!”

I run off avoiding the stream of incoming bullets and soon notice that they came to a halt “Preserving ammo already.....smart man.....maybe you aren’t a meathead like I thought you were!”

“That was just a test fire....to see what you’ll have to deal with later!”

I rush at Gale who soon puts up his claws and waits for me to close in “Take this you overgrown feather duster!” I jump over Gale who follows with his claws trying to slash me, but I quickly fire from my gun which not only blasts me even higher in the air from the recoil but forces Gales arm and head to forcefully slam into the floor.

“Ow.....what the hell......don’t tell me Kei gave YOU the new gun she was working on....dammit this will be interesting now won’t it?”

Gale turns to me and charges completely unaware that he fracture the ground when his punch made contact with it and tries to slash and punch me repeatedly were i just jump away repeatedly dodging each attack angering him even further “Quit jumping twinkle toes and take it like a warrior!”

“Not when i’m fighting someone who is just rushingly attacking waiting for one to connect.....you are really easy to anger aren’t you?”

He soon gets annoyed and pulls out his minigun again and this time fires in a spray of bullets that not only nearly hit me, but also go haywire and shoot the ground making it further unstable and having small bit of lava jump out and land in random spots, and in just minutes Gale corners me “That gun has an amazingly large amount of ammunition.” I say amazed at how he kept the pressure going and that he still had enough to fire at me “You haven’t seen anything yet!”

As he came closer he started up his gun readying himself to fire faith looks kindly to me as small bits of lava land on his gun over heating it to the point where he drops it from pain “OW DAMMIT......alrighty guess i’ll do this a different way!”

Gale jumps back to a wall and shatters it were he picks up the fallen rocks and hurls them at me

“Well you are certainly a creative one aren’t you Gale?” I say towards the griffon still throwing rocks at me “I learned that in battle anything is a weapon against the enemy, and this is no exception for you!”

As he keeps tossing rocks someone calls me from the stands.....it was Kei “Baron your gun can force you target back.....lightweight targets will fall far and hard on their backs while large targets like Gale will just get sent back a few inches, but not only that you can also reflect certain projectiles just like the rocks Gale is throwing at you!” as she said this everyone turned their heads towards her in amazement that she finally left her work area “Amazing.......it seems that our newcomer has not only made Gale fight him for his third challenge, but has also made Kei leave her work area....something that has not happened in a long while!”

As everyone finishes staring in amazement Gale speaks up towards Kei “And just why are you helping this guy at his attempt to kill!”

“Because you have lost your true purpose of fighting Gale......and it’s time for Baron to show you how to really fight again!”

“Oh sure I’ll believe it when I see it!”

“I’m amazed that she came here to tell me that.....heh guess I now have a better chance of surviving.” as I say this Gale angrily continues his assault of rocks which I now reflect back at him with my gun. “Guess you need a new tactic now don’t you?”

Gale soon takes flight and starts throwing bigger rocks that are harder to reflect seeing as they are pelting me from the sky “Guess you need the new tactic now little man.” after he finishes he onslaught continues until one of them knocks the gun out of my hand in which he soon lands and starts to slash at me once more “NOW WE FIGHT LIKE REAL WARRIORS!”

“Ruby help now!”

“No one can help you here!”

Ruby soon unites with me once again and brushes off his assault “YOU WERE SAYING YOU WALKING FEATHER DUSTER!” me and Ruby say with a strong punch hitting his gut soon after we said this.

“Where do you get this hidden power from?” Gale says as he clutches his stomach

“Thats none of your business now prepare yourself.”

We continue or melee onslaught repeatedly harming each other greatly with each connecting hit with the floor slowly becomes more unstable the more our movements get more violent, and soon Ruby's power slowly starts failing “Baron I can’t keep this up......your body has taken too much damage......I can’t help you anymore...”

I see my gun near me and quickly deliver a left hook towards Gales head which makes him do a one-eighty spin into a wall, and while his back is turn I grab my gun and plant it in his torso while he turns around with his arms in the air, but as I looked towards his face I saw him smiling “Laughing at your own demise Gale?” as I say this he looks up and I soon do the same only to gain a look of horror......he held a huge cracked boulder above my head.

“Time to test fate little man......are you feeling lucky?”

Late Night Free Falling

I don't know what's worse......forcefully learning to be a perfect warrior or having a princess annoy the hell out of me.....of course I gave her good reason to.....

“It’s choice time Baron.....blast the rock and it will shatter showering you with rocks in which I will soon slash at you finishing you off, and if you blast me you’ll only push me back a bit not really hurting me as I can take a hit while the rock will fall upon you entirely then break on you possibly crushing you......you only have about 40 seconds before I just dump the rock on you.”

I scan for any other options and soon notice the fractured floor, and without hesitation I shoot the ground expanding the crack “Now it’s choice time for you Gale.....you either throw the rock and shatter the ground you’re standing on....or you just stand there and let the weight of the boulder crush you and drop your body in the lava below.....tick tock Gale....” I walk off after I finish this last sentence leaving Gale to his certain demise.

“Nice one Baron you’re really getting the hang of leaving people to their certain demise or causing it yourself aren’t you?” Ruby says to me happy at my murderous streak “I’d rather not have that involved in my daily quota.....” I say towards the happy spirit “Seems too late for that now boy.”

“I-IMPOSSIBLE......B-BARON HAS.....OUTSMARTED....AND DEFEATED....THE MIGHTY GALE....” Clawfang says amazed on how I left Gale between a rock and a hard place just to die.

As I walk towards the lift something in my mind repeatedly bugs me and soon forces me to a halt “Baron why’d you stop?”

“Because this challenge isn’t over.....not until we both walk out of here!” with this said i toss a rock in the air and when it aligns with my gun I blast it towards the boulder above Gale’s head “GALE HEADS UP AND PREPARE YOURSELF FOR FLIGHT!”

“What?” is all Gale says as he see the rock above him explode and as it does he quickly flies off and the ground he was standing on as well as half the arena collapse into the lava.

“Baron.......WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT?!” Ruby says scolding my last action “Because the fight is over and he doesn’t deserve that fate....” I get on the lift as I finish answering Ruby’s question and soon Gale does the same with the other lift and I walk in with him into Clawfang’s area again “Amazing.....you had the stage set to your advantage and leave off Gale for dead, but instead you saved him.....why if you already won....why would you save your opponent?”

“Gale had no reason to die so early....I just let him live for a purpose even I cannot answer...”

“Another question Baron...where did that increase in your strength come from?”

“Right I never showed you guys....Ruby show yourself to them” and with that Ruby appeared before Pure, Gale, and Clawfang.

“WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!” the three of them say in unison.

“Ruby Flames...one of the ex generals of Discord.” Kei says as she walks into Clawfangs room only to be glared at by Pure.

“So this is what became of the generals that followed the every whim of the god of chaos?” Clawfang said towards Ruby “Well only me....what happened to the other idiots is none of my concern.”

“Wow....you make it sound as if you were each others tabuu....”

“Do you get along with the people you fight with?” as Ruby says this Pure, Kei, Gale, and Clawfang look away from each other “Good point.....well you have proven your right to leave.....what will you do now?”

“Other then finding Ruby’s body....I want to join you outsiders.”

“Well you certainly proved your metal.....but are you sure?”

“Positive....you seem to have a good amount of information on this land more the princesses do...and info is what I need more than anything at the moment.”

“Alright then...here take this badge....it shows you are now a part of the outsiders among us...it also acts as a teleportation device....use it and get sent back here to Honorbound at anytime you want or when we request you to return.”

“Great this will be good.....but can I have my bludgeon back?”

“If it’s a weapon that came from you it should return to you when you call its name.” After Clawfang finishes I become confused “Its name......I didn’t know it needed one...” I say which seems to anger him “Then how can you hold the weapon of a warrior without even naming it.......unacceptable boy fix that problem at once.”

“Ruby did you know anything about this?” I ask the spirit next to me “Yes.....I was wondering when you would name it as well.....now I see that you didn’t even know about......what a disgrace!”

“How was I supposed to.....alright then I guess my weapons name can be....Angel Wings!” As I say this Ruby laughs at it “Ha....how ironic....that weapon was formed from the powers of Discord in you reacting to my abilities.....and Discord is no angel.”

“Whatever.......alright....ANGEL WINGS TO ME.”

And like Clawfang said the weapon flew to me however not knowing the full use of this it ended up hitting me in the head “Ow......I take it that wasn’t supposed was it...”

“No.....but you will learn boy.....hopefully.....Baron you get your natural abilities enhanced with the help of the that ex general.....come to me when something....strange with your abilities occurs..” as he says this I accept confused by what he means.

The five of us leave the building and head outside into the center of the city and it seems to have gotten late “What.....how long was I taking to finish those challenges?”

“About eight hours plus the four you spent passed out......yep its an hour after midnight.”

“WHAT? and you say it as if it were nothing...”

“Well we barely sleep with all the things we do here so this is natural for us.....by the way Baron why did you have that token of the Princess?”

“Celestia gave it to me to check my location in case I got lost on my way to ponyville....or anyplace for that matter....anyway I have to return on my path to ponyville.

“Well her ability to find you here isn’t possible unless she has an outsider medal like yours until you leave this area and head back into the wasteland area.....plus we want you to act as a spy for us when near the princess....she is the reason so many people have gotten thrown in the wasteland.”

“What the....fine then i’m your new spy....I guess i’m off then.....i’ll return when either I need more things to know or when you request of me until then I bid you farewell.”

I walk out of Honorbound and head back into the heart of the wasteland which was much cooler thanks to the moon being out instead of the sun.

“Hey Ruby tell me something....how come you’re not in your true form seeing as we are back in your home?” I ask my companion “Because it’s weaker than the form I have now...”

“Nothing is truly weak.....come on turn back into it.” I ask hoping he would change back "No you don't understand...."

“Fine if will get you off my back...” Ruby turns from a human spirit into that of a pegasus that was ignited on fire “There....happy now?”

“Wow......you look way better in this form then the other.....a living fire ball.....how is that weak to you?” I say to the pegasus spirit “Yea...whatever...”

As we made our way out of the city we soon lost all view of honorbound and my the token that Celestia gave me started glowing “I take it she’ll be here soon.....great...”

“Hey Baron I need something for you to do.” Ruby says to me “Alright a sidequest.....what is it?”

“Discord possible knows i’m back, but he may think I forgot my hatred towards him...so to get on his good side...I want you to help me get rid of the elements of harmony.....no just one will be efficient to make him fully believe i’m still with him.”

I sigh at his request, but cannot argue so I agree “Fine if will help us get to Discord faster i’ll accept this “little” sidequest, but do you even know who represents them?”

“No, but it can’t be too difficult to find one of them....”

We keep walking and soon we hear something call to out to us....it was Celestia “Ah so you are still alive!”

“Oh its you......I didn’t think you would care so much to see a piece of someone you despise alive.”

“Will you quit it.....you haven’t shown any hostility.....yet so i’m glad that an ally is still alive.”

“Oh so i’m an ally to you then...”

“Listen it’s very late for me to get you in a train to ponyville.....so I guess you’re going to have to hop on for a ride to ponyville.”as she says this I just had to talk back “Whoa....not until we get to know each other better.....or at least after the third date.”

“Alright now I know you’re still mad at me....just get on....the sooner we get to ponyville the sooner you will not have to deal with me.”

“Now you’re talking....” I get on the giant alicorn and without warning she takes off dropping me into the ground “YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE!” me and Ruby say aggravated at the alicorn “Opps...did I...my bad...it won’t happen again.”

I get back on and this time I tug on her mane the second she tries to drop me again “Ugh ok i’m sorry.....just please let go.”

We both endure each other's presence until she speaks up “I’m amazed you haven’t fallen asleep yet......given by the fact that it’s three hours after midnight.”

“I can’t sleep......my body won’t let me....and when by some small chance I do sleep nightmares get to me almost immediately....they usually represent something that torments me, and someone who hates me or vice versa.”

“Wow...i’m sorry about that....”

“Don’t be.....you aren’t the reason I have nightmares.....at least not yet...so lets continue the flight to where I need to go.”

We soon fly over a forest and soon see a small town in the horizon which was a pleasant sight until I fell off Celestia “AH DAMMIT WHY ME......” I land in the forest in a painful crash just as when I first arrived in Equestria and soon Celestia flies down “Are you alright?”

“Yea......just leave me off here.....I can get to Ponyville on foot from here.” I tell the sun princess who is still unsure about letting me walk alone “Are you sure you can.....I mean seeing last time you tried walking on your own....”

“Trust me i’ve seen the path from here to town and I will be giving the directions not Ruby.” and as I say this Ruby speaks up “Aw you need to trust me more!”

“Fine then.....oh here you may need this.....seeing as I doubt you will have our lands form of currency...goodbye for now.”

She flies off leaving a bag of four thousand coins “Well I guess this is the luxury of knowing the princess of the sun.....”

I walk through the forest in the direction of Ponyville “Well lets see what the residents will do after they see me.....something about this forest seems off though.......” I say weirded out by the forest “The name escapes me, but something is weird about this forest...” Ruby says also weirded out by the forest.

“I doubt this place hides something we can’t handle......whatever is out here......we will be ready for it!”

I tread deeper into the forest with my guard up prepared for anything it had to send at me.

Ascending Chaos

"Dealing with how chaos works....and how harmony works.....what a workout."

"You thought you had it hard.....I had to deal with havoc I caused when I was evil...."

When brothers fight it's a way of showing that we love each other and mean well.

As we continue our walk something beyond the trees start to move “We are not alone here Ruby....”

“Its about time you noticed......keep your guard up and we’ll be fine....”

I keep moving closer and closer until something leaps out at me from the trees at pounces at me “Brace yourself boy!”

As the creature lands on me I soon notice it’s a manticore and it’s extremely annoyed at my presence “Ruby your world is full of many unbelievable creatures!”

“Yes, but this is just a young manticore so it shouldn’t be too hard for you now so keep your guard up and it should be brought down easily!”

The manticore tries to impale me with its tail only to miss, but as I dodge it I get hit by its claws as it slashes at me “That’s not keeping your guard up.....” Ruby says annoyed by my ignorance “Well sorry for not knowing exactly where I have to go to avoid something with multiple things that may harm me!”

The manticore tosses me around like a ragdoll and soon tosses me in between two trees and ignorantly I grab both of them with each hand and soon the manticore starts charging at me again, but as it made contact my arms stayed latched on the trees “What the heck......” is all I managed to say as my arms just stretched like a rubber band instead of just letting go of the trees and soon the manticore stops and my arms retract almost immediately launching it into multiple trees “How did I......” is all I managed to say after seeing what I did.

The manticore comes back even more annoyed and stops in front of me and soon roars in an attempt to scare me into running, but my body reacts on its own after this and roars even louder which frightens off the manticore into running away like a kitten “Nice one Baron how did you turn yourself into a human slingshot, and how did you manage to roar like that?” Ruby says which fills me confusion “What you mean you didn’t do that?!”

“Nope....that was all your doing Baron.....you are getting in tune with your inner chaos......”

“Oh god are you serious......whatever this is nothing that will affect me greatly in any way....I hope...”

We continue walking and soon see the town “There’s ponyville Ruby soon we’ll get your body and continue our main mission to get Discord.”

“Lets not forget to get rid of at least one of the elements of harmony as well boy.”

“Fine fine if it will satisfy your needs for a vague sneak attack.”

It is still night even though it felt like we took hours getting through that forest, but none the less I stay at the edge of town by the entrance of the forest and lay back on a tree and close my eyes “Let me give sleep another chance.....” and before I knew it I was out.

Meanwhile on Earth in a secret laboratory........

(Time has advanced to the point where other characters will take over for their part.....sometimes a certain character will have a chapter all towards himself or herself.)

Knytt's view

“Hurry you sacks of waste I want this teleportation device up and running in ten minutes....I finally found a trace of life from my cursed twin and its on another world...I want to get over there and do to him what the cave in did not!” is what I said to my workers “I may have lost the professor, but that does not mean I am stripped of my technology or power......so get moving!”

The men rush around everywhere connecting pieces of the machine as like ants working around an anthill and soon the complex machine started to power up “Perfect......alert me when at full power as I want to waste no time in finding my idiot twin.....if he thinks he can escape me like this....hahahahaha.”

“Knytt sir the teleportation device is fully operational just enter the coordinates from the device and stand inside the machine and you will go to the area where he is....of course it won’t place you directly near him...and you won’t be able to bring your device to find him.” one of the workers say to me “No don’t worry for me on that....our hatred for each other act like a magnet that never lets us stay apart from each other for too long.”

As I place the homing device in a socket the machine whirs and soon I move to get inside it, but I am cut short as two unwanted nuisances burst in and interrupt me “Knytt hold it right there!” said the older of the two children that belonged to the professor.

“Well if it isn’t the offspring of the late professor....to what do I owe this lovely intrusion...”

“We’re here to get you for killing our father back in that cave!”

“OH HOW ADORABLE YOU THINK THE TWO OF YOU HAVE THE SLIGHTEST CHANCE OF HARMING ME!” as I say this I laugh wholeheartedly which just angers them but that just makes me laugh even harder “Listen you two go away before I decide to mount you on my wall....i’m going to meet up with my twin and I don’t want to deal with you two....how did you even find me here....” I asked to the duo who were standing with me in what I thought was a private laboratory made by the professor “Our father made many secret labs like this in case people started hunting him down to stop him from creating things, but he made so many he had to make a map to find any he needed to go to that weren’t already discovered....and this one was the one he went to the most!”

“Fantastic......it doesn’t matter I won’t be here for long the device is done and I am off to visit Baron in wherever he may have landed.”

“What do you mean....Baron died in the cave in!” the girl says which makes me laugh “No he didn’t my sweet he was taken someplace else......done possibly by the ghost in his arm....but he won’t escape me as i’m off to meet him now.”

“Like hell we’ll let you do that!” the older rushes towards me as I stand in the machine only for him to get knocked down by some of my workers “You are adorable.....now I must be off.....gentlemen don’t hesitate in eliminating any way of them following me.”

The machine starts off and soon I am no longer in the lab but the flash covers my eyes and prevents me from seeing anything else.

Back in the lab.....

“Knytt made it through now eliminate the lab along” a guard said as he pressed a button which soon started a countdown

“Wish we have to get out of here Knytt ordered his idiotic guards press the self destruct button so we have to get out of here fast.”

The lab starts to flash red lights and soon the countdown nears zero.....me and wish just barely make it out only to get forcibly tossed by the explosion into the ground “Damn he got away....and now he’s alone in an area we can’t reach to help Baron....” I kick the ground as I say this, but my sister soon speaks up “I don’t think we have no way of getting to him.....I managed to get the blueprints to the device Knytt used to transport himself to where Baron is....I can’t believe he survived.....”

“SIS YOU ARE THE GREATEST......aw man the items he used to make the damn thing are near impossible to get......it will take some time....”

“Don’t worry if we get Locke to help we may get to finish earlier.....he may be able to “liberate” some of the items from wherever they may be to finish faster....and i’m sure he’ll do it if he now knows his brother is still alive!”

“Sis.....stealing isn’t good.....but I have no better options so I guess it’ll have to do....come on lets go get that gun maniac.”

Knytt's view

Back to the skies of Equestria over the wastelands.....

The white light blocking my vision disappears and I soon see I am plummeting to the ground from way up in the air “So this is where Baron is eh......good thing I brought this with me.” I pull my flying surfboard from my backpack and start to descend much more easier to the ground and the location I land in has strange looking creatures in armor that is black as night “Might as well add some recruits to help me in my cause....”

Baron's view

Back to the edge of the forest in ponyville.....

As i’m asleep I experience another nightmare “No....stay away....please......” is all I managed to say before I wake up abruptly with a scream that in reality was a roar “Oh god that was horrible.....it was almost going to be a complete perfect sleep...until that happened...”

“Another nightmare my boy?”

“Yes........but enough of that into the town we go.” as I get up and try to walk my feet don’t budge only to have Ruby yell at me “Baron look at your legs!”

I do what he says to see a pool of black sludge dragging me down “What the hell is this thing!” is all I say as the sludge swallows me whole.

“Darkness everywhere.....dammit why only me....”

“Now now....you should be used to it....this is what fuels the Chaos that runs through our veins....” a mysterious voice says to me “WHO’S THERE.....WHO ARE YOU?”

“How do you not know about your other half.....you spent quite a while learning about me the least you could do is know about me the second you hear or see me.”

“Discord............” I say to the voice speaking to me “The one and only my clueless shadow...”

“What do you want from me!”

“I want you to join up with me....like we were meant to Baron....”

“Like hell I will......” as I say this Discords voice grows angry “FINE THEN HAVE IT YOUR WAY!”

As he finished a figure appeared in front of me and to my displeasure it looked exactly like me except the skin tone was purple with white hair and the lack of the demented arm.

“If I kill you here I will be liberated of one of my old problems..” as he says this he launches a ray of dark energy at me “Sadly you can’t use your chaos abilities to the full extent like me.”

I barely dodge the ray of energy just to get hit by another “Dodge all you want you can’t escape my fury you pathetic shadow!” as he says this he closes in on me and tries to land the finishing blow only to be cut off by a wall of fire “Ha even when separated Ruby still guards me greatly from you!”

“The damned hot headed pegasus is still a thorn in my side up to this day....”

“I will never fall to you.......” as I say this my arm ignites and soon my hands glow “And i’ll be damned if I let my mission end like this!” my hands grow brighter and soon I knew what to do “SO FOR NOW I SUGGEST YOU LEAVE ME ALONE!” I launch a concentrated beam of light at Discord.

“Agh the harmonic powers of light.....and the pain is even worse with me still being trapped in stone....i’ll let you off......for now.”

Discord teleports away and soon the darkness disappears and I return back to the exact spot I was before I got absorbed by the black sludge.

“Where the hell did you go Baron?” Ruby says as he sees my damaged body on the ground “Nowhere important.......now let’s go before we lose more time.” now as I walk I get interrupted again by the manticore that attacked me earlier “OK NOW YOU GOT ON MY NERVES!” angered I blast the manticore with the new move I learned to fend off Discord sending it flying away deep into the forest.

“WHAT THE HELL BARON WHEN DID YOU LEARN THAT?”

“Just now when I got sucked into that sludge.....”

“A new move eh.....that may come in handy especially seeing as it’s an attack of light energy.....what will you call the new move?”

“You force me to name my weapon and now you force me to name this new attack I learned.......what the hell man.....ok fine......Shining Buster.......happy now Ruby?”

“I’ll be happy once I get my body back and Discord’s head is mounted on a pole.”

“Fine then let’s move on out.....unless something else wants to annoy me!”

I move towards the small town hoping that nothing else attempts to interrupt my mission.

I Never Asked For This....

Quite a curiosity those girls had.......hehehehe

I walk into the small town and attempt to find the pony the princess directed me to find, yet the only problem is finding who she is....”God this is just like trying to find a needle in a haystack...”

“Well she did send a letter to her so all we need to is walk around town and eventually the pony that got the letter will know why we are here.”

“Well I have no better options so let’s start walking around......the residents seem to be waking up...........finally.”

I stroll around and soon the residents of the town take notice to me...some of which don’t seem to enjoy the fact that I’m here “Well I knew this would happen soon.....”

“IT’S A MUTATED DEMON BUTCHER WITH A GIANT MEAT TENDERIZER!” A mare shouts as she sees me with my large bludgeon strapped to my back.

I quickly try to explain to the panicking bunch of ponies “No stop my bludgeon isn’t made for meat tenderizing....it’s made for obliterating it along with the bones of my target leaving nothing but a pool of blood!” As I hear myself finish this sentence I facepalm hard.

The scrambling ponies soon disappeared leaving an empty town in my sights “Hey were did they all go?”

“Possibly fled town from the sight of you mister mutated demon butcher.”

“Ruby shut up cause you are not helping the situation.....”

As I say this I am bucked in the head by a cyan blur “What the hell was that?!” I say as I grab my head only to be hit again and this time while it was speeding around me it spoke “TAKE THIS YOU MONSTER!”

I pieced the info together and found that it was a female pegasus and after I found that out I attempt to swat her down to stop her endless assault on me, but she avoids each hit and soon stops in the air to gloat and I notice her main and tail are both colored rainbow “Hah can’t hit me slowpoke I’m the fastest flyer in Equestria now hold still to make this quick and painless!”

“Oh you think you are fast eh......well if you want to continue hitting me you will have to catch me first!” as I say this I dart away from her with extreme speed leaving her in my dust only leaving her enraged before she flies after me “NO ONE IS FASTER THAN ME!”

The rainbow maned pony tries so hard to catch up to me,but fails to keep up and soon she starts to grow tired “Losing your vigor already.....come on this isn’t even a warm up!” I taunt her causing her to grow even more furious at me but still failing to catch up and soon she slows and falls to a halt “No fair.....you cheated.....somehow...” is all the tired pegasus says

I walk up to the mare and pick her up “Who's the slowpoke now slowpoke?” is all I say as she struggles to break free from my grip.

“Hey Baron what do you plan on doing with her?”

“Well I still have to go back to town and find who Celestia’s student is.” as I say this the pony in my arms speaks up “You better not be planning to kill Twilight you monster!”

“Twilight.....I take it she’s the pony the Princess directed me to find eh?”

“Hah I doubt you were actually sent by the Princess now...BACK OFF!” she headbutts me after she says this and lose my grip on her and she tries to attack me again “Are we really going to go through this again...” I dodge her repeatedly and run towards the town with her still behind me, but she comes to a halt when someone calls out her name “RAINBOW DASH STOP NOW!”

I turn my head to the voice and see a lavender unicorn “He is someone I am expecting....I received a letter from the princess stating his arrival.” rainbow dash just stands there with her mouth wide open as she hears her say that.

“I am terribly sorry for my friend here......you are mister Baron right?”

“It was no matter...she did no real harm to me, and yes I am Baron.”

As I say this she drowns me in questions until I finally quiet her down “Twilight now i’m sure you have many questions to ask me, but I came here seeing if you could help me....at least your princess said you could.”

“Oh...right...sorry, and what is it you need my assistance with....wait lets go back to the library....I can help better their!”

“Ok then let’s go.”

As we walk Ruby starts a conversation with me “Baron I need to explain something to you.”

“Shoot man you can tell me anything.”

“Have you ever questioned the fact as to why my name is Ruby?”

“Come to think of it yea why is it like that?”

“Discord said it would be bad to be found out by our normal lives or affairs so he gave us names relating to gems to throw off many people....hence Ruby.”

“I guess it makes sense.....so what is your actual name?”

“Searing Flames.....originally Flames wasn’t supposed to be apart of the name he gave me, but as I told you when we met I am not known for my listening ability.”

“So i’m guessing you’re telling me all this because when you were sealed they only know you as either Ruby or Searing?”

“Bingo....so you have to convince them that the body is Searing Flames got it?”

“Easy task is easy man.”

“Nice moxie......DON’T SCREW IT UP!”

We soon arrive to an giant tree with house-like accesories “I take it this is the library?”

“Yep now again I am terribly sorry for Rainbow’s actions.”

“I’m not he had it coming!”

“Rainbow a letter was sent to me by Celestia of his arrival so if he is here it has to involve something important!”

The two ponies soon start to arguing so I just sit on the floor seeing as none of the furniture was big enough to fit me and just watch both of them yelling about my appearance here and soon after they finish twilight asks me what I need assistance with “Well you see......hold on R...Searing show yourself.” my companion pops up in his ghostly pegasus form “Hello ladies.”

They both quickly freaked out at the sight and soon Twilight spoke up “H-How did that happen to you?”

“Discord.......need I say anything else....he split my mind from my body.” Ruby says as he looks down

“So that’s what the princess meant.....well there is a statue of a pegasus in everfree forest.......I always wonder what its significance was....I wonder if I can even free you from petrification.” as she says this she brings down multiple books with her magic.

“Well we won’t find out until we try now will we?”

Twilight quickly skims through the books and then looks up “Alright we will depart for everfree forest!” as she finishes she turns to me “Meet us at the edge of the forest.” she soon rushes out the door with the Rainbow Dash following.

I quickly try to shout out to her “Wait where is Everfree forest at!”

“Baron I think she means the forest you nearly died in.”

“Alright then......let’s go...”

I walk all the way back to the edge of the forest that hated me dearly and said “So what am I waiting for exactly?” as I finish Twilight teleports right infront of me from nowhere “OH GOD NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!” I say as I fall on my ass scared from the unexpected intrusion.

Rainbow Dash appears and starts laughing at what just happened to me “Hahaha nice one Twilight!”

“Rainbow grow up......i’m sorry Baron”

“It’s fine just don’t do it again.....by the way what did you need to get that you made me go on without you?”

“Just getting my friends to see if they may be able to provide some help on releasing your friends body.”

Following Rainbow and Twilight came an orange earth pony with a cowboy hat, a white unicorn with her mane and tail gracefully combed, and a butter colored pegasus who I barely saw as she was hidden behind the other four ponies “So in total there are five of you?”

As soon as I said five they all dove for cover “What......was it something I sa....” before I finish multiple party themed decor hit me from seemingly nowhere “Ow....”

“Surprise!” says a pink pony with outrageously poofy pink hair and as I get up I start to check what hit me “Is this.....cake......oh god....ugh....”

“You don’t like it?” she says “No.......a bad memory....I HATE cake,parties, and anything relating towards one!”

As I say this her body and mane grow duller in color and her mane deflates like a ballon when the air escapes it “Don’t confuse my words pink one....I said I hate parties, but don’t let it think I hate you and I won’t unless you give me reason to.” as I say this she regains color but her hair stays the same abit “Ok then what do I need to do to stay on your good side?”

“For starters don’t hit me with a barrage of party related items ok.”

“Aw but......ok fine....at least we get to be friends still.” as she says this her hair re inflates.

As she hops away the other five ponies just watch with their mouths hanging open at the fact that I got the energetic pony not to do anything party related around me and soon I try to wipe off the cake “Ugh its stuck on my shirt......” I take off my shirt and start shaking it to clean off any bits of cake while also letting it flow a bit.

“Ok girls let’s get a move on.” as we walk the rest of the mare introduce themselves starting with the orange earth pony “Howdy mah names Applejack, and I am sorry fer what Pinkie did...she can get a lil over excited about meeting someone new.” as she finished the white unicorn spoke up. “Oh my that nice uniform so perfect in structure.....only to be ruined by cakes stains....I am terribly sorry for what PInkie Pie did to you.” soon Pinkie speaks up “IamalsosorryIdidn’tmeantomakeyouupsetIwasjusttryingtogiveyouawarmwelcomeseeingasyouarenewtothisworldandohmygoshwestilldon’tknowyournameyet!” amazingly she says all that without stopping for air at all “Oh right sorry my name is Baron the friend you’re helping me free is Searing Flames.” as I say this Ruby appears in front of the ponies which all stand their ground except for the yellow pony who just curls up behind the five hoping Ruby doesn’t notice her.

“And who are you little one?” I say towards the timid pegasus who only just curls up into a ball attempting to avoid eye contact (sigh) “I don’t like doormats....after living my life as one I am sick of them entirely....?” I turn around and start to continue walking, and as I do she looks up and tries to speak “Wait i-i’m sorry....” she soon looks at my back and then flies up to my face “I-I’m sorry for n-not speaking you just l-looked a bit scary....I like y-your cutie mark though.......m-my name is Fluttershy” she was stuttering, but I barely notice as I could barely hear her speaking.

“Cutie mark....what is that?”

She points to her flank and says “This is a cutie mark....its what shows us what our special talent in life is to one another....like mine showing that I am good with animals as I care for them deeply.” as she says that it made me wonder (“I guess that’s what the mark on Pure’s and Blankwave’s flank were....but what did they signify?”)

“Ok now do I have that somewhere on me?”

“Isn’t it on your back?” as Fluttershy finishes I figure out she meant the birthmark on my back “Oh no Fluttershy that’s a birthmark...me and my two brothers have one....mine is on my back while theirs were on different part of their bodies.”

“Oh....what does it stand for?”

“I don’t know nor do I want to know......the sign just creeps people out....”

The picture was weird as it was a head and torso one side was black with a red eye, long fang and sharp jaws, a horn, scars, and a claw with a chain wrapped up the arm, and it also had a demonic wing, and the other side was more angelic with a blue eye, half a halo and an arm with weird glowing letters and glowing golden rings around it and it also had and golden wing on that side, but strangely enough the the arms were not on their sides oh no instead the angelic hand was wrapping over the demon side holding up the chains the trapped that side while the demonic claw was doing the same, but holding up the glowing rings preventing movement from that side....to what it meant confused me up to know “Listen I don’t want to get to dragged into the topic can we please just keep going to get Searing’s body.” as I say this they all nod.

“Alright then lets get a move on!” we soon head into the deeper parts of the forest I had not gone through yet and continue looking for Ruby’s petrified body.

Stone Cold Travels

How is it anytime I try to do something good it ends up bad anyway....

As we continue walking the forest we soon see a rather larger mountain “A mountain....how is that possible...I didn’t see a mountain over the forest.....”

“We never understood it either, but that’s where Searing’s body is so up we go.” she soon starts walking up the mountain path with me and the other five girls behind her.

While we were walking I noticed Twilight had a saddle bag with her “Hey Twilight what’s in the bag?”

“Oh it’s just something I plan on using if we can’t find an easier way to free your friend.”

“Oh alright then.....”

We keep walking on the seemingly never ending mountain and soon Rainbow Dash stops in mid-air “Alright this is taking too long....i’m going to scout ahead to see what there is.” she darts away as she finishes.

“Not like there is going to be a change in scenery anytime soon.....” I say as I see the cyan wonder fly off only to return immediately “I found a gap in the road up ahead.”

“I stand corrected.....” we stop to hear what Rainbow Dash has to say “There is a gap in the road up ahead similar to the one you guys jumped over when Fluttershy kicked out the sleeping dragon from its cave.” as she says this I look towards Fluttershy and ask “You kicked out a dragon from its home....that’s amazing!” Fluttershy starts to blush at the praise I gave her for something that was entirely out of context

“Oh I-I really didn’t “kick” him out I just k-kindly told him to leave us a-all alone...” she hides her face behind her mane as she says this.

“Ok then.....so how big was the jump?”

“Well I flew over it so I don’t know ask Twilight about.”

“It was about a five inch jump Baron.”

“Oh that’s alright then.”

As we make it to the gap me I soon speak up “THIS IS A FIVE INCH GAP?” is all I shout as I see the mile and a half jump.

“Again I didn’t pay attention to the jump then and I didn’t pay attention to this because once again....WINGS!”

Rainbow Dash flies over the gap leaving the six of us back here “No worries I can just teleport us across.”

Twilights horn flares up and the light covers all of us and when the light fades away I am left alone while the six mares are on the other side “Twilight I think your magic hates me....”

“B-B-But thats impossible.....my teleport spell should’ve taken us all to this side of the gap....”

“Hahaha Baron it seems like this world hates you more then it does me hehe, but you knew that already based on your thoughts.....eh what are you doing?” is all he says as he sees may walk away with my bludgeon in my hand.”

“So you became a mindreader then eh Searing?” as I say this I turn around “WELL I BET YOU CAN’T TELL WHAT I’M THINKING NOW!” I start running towards the gap the second I finish.

“Right now you are thinking, why am I pole vaulting when i’ve never done this before.”

“Hubba wha....?”

I launch myself over the gap and start flying over and soon nearly make it “HAH TAKE THAT GRAVITY!” unfortunately I stop about 5 feet from the other side “Are you kidding me.....” I fall the second I finish.

“And now you are thinking that, it’s a long way to the bottom, hahahahaha....wait....I use him as a body does that mean.....uh oh.” Ruby gets drag down after me almost immediately.

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH” is all that is heard from me as I fall closer and closer to the spiked ground below me “Well we had a good run.....aw who am I kidding this is a pathetic way to die...”

My eyes remain closed as I fall screaming all the way until my shirt gets caught in a branch and in a cartoon like manner I get launched back up to the side of the gap where the six ponies were still screaming with my eyes closed.”

“Baron open your eyes!” Twilight says as she shakes me repeatedly trying to shut me up “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhh....uh......I knew I was fine....hehe...” she facehooves at my stupidity and we just carry on the path until we reach a cave “Wait why does the path end here.....it should continue straight to the side where the statue is... why is there a cave here?”

“You say strange things happen here so why is this surprising you?”

“Strange things happen, but still....for a cave to appear out of nowhere....there may be another path so lets not take the cave to be sure.” as she finishes I dart right in the cave.

“I am on a tight schedule so no way am I waiting for the long way!”

“You took the words right out of my mouth!” Rainbow Dash darts in after me

“Woohoo adventure!” is all Pinkie says as she runs in the cave as well.

“What is wrong with them?!” Twilight says amazed at what the three of us just did.

“Well I can guarantee yah that this won’t end well....come on we better go after them Twilight.” Applejack says as she walks in the cave.

“I have a bad feeling about this....”

“Oh do we really have to go in there it looks so.....bleak....and disgusting....” Rarity says annoyed that she has to follow the other two ponies in the cave.

“I vote we just stay out here....anyone else....no....than motion carried....yay....goodbye now!” as Fluttershy tries to run away Twilight stops her and pulls her in the cave with her magic.

“Ugh are they ever going to catch up....” Rainbow says annoyed that the other four mares have yet to catch up to the three of us.

“Come on now Dashie might as well make great time while we’re ahead!”

“We’re in a cave with nothing, but moss on the sides, water dripping from the ceilings, stalagmites and stalactites everywhere, and.......ornamental statues?”

As the cyan pegasus finishes we see multiple stone figures everywhere “Well I think we found a good spot to look for Searing’s body.”

“Yea but where do we start.” Pinkie says as she leans on a statue of a steel golem only for it to start glowing.

“Pinkie what did you do?!” Rainbow shouts at the pink earth pony

“I don’t know I just leaned on it and it started to glow!”

That statue soon started to move and it headed right for the two ponies causing both of them to scream and as the golem gets close enough it stops moving as my bludgeon poke through its torso and as I pull it out if falls and I obliterate the rest by slamming down my weapon on the long gone creature “Heh pathetic.....at least he wasn’t made out of mithril or diamond or then that would’ve taken longer then needed.” I place angel wings on my back again and continue moving “Now try not to touch anything while we are in here.” as I finish I bump into a cerberus statue “What other kinds of creatures exist here.....” and soon it starts to glow as well “Well this won’t end well.” as the statue glows the two mares freak out and try to run away, but crash into multiple statues activating them “I can’t kill all of them.....they seem to only come alive in this room....quick if we make it through the tunnel there we may be able to escape!”

The three of us dart through the room filled with the cursed possessed creatures and escape through the tunnel and as we run me and the girls get seperated and I come to a halt by smashing face first into another statue “Oh no please not another beast....” as the statue stops glowing I see a small shadow quickly dart away “Oh god that was close....I wonder what that was anyway.”

“That doesn’t matter now so lets get out of here and back to the others....I want my body back now....”

As I exit I see the freed creatures are still roaming around but the girls are no longer there “I hope they made it out alright.....” I find an exit and soon the six mare all together “Took you long enough to get out!” Rainbow Dash says which greatly started to annoy me “Like you were any help in there all you did was scream like a little filly and run away!”

She gets mad at me “LIAR!” but Pinkie follows with “But Dashie you did scream even louder than me when those statue thingies came to life!” Rainbow’s face turns red after what just happened being told to everyone.

“I told you not to go in the cave.....anyway at least we’re out.”

“Twilight how did you get through that cave without having to get rid of the living statues?” as I finish her horn flares up and she teleports repeatedly all around me leaving me dizzy “That answer your question?”

We continue our hike and soon near a clearing where the mountain path smooths out and soon Twilight speaks up “Alright now we just go off straight ahead....just putting that out in case you have the sudden urge to run without warning.”

“Geez i’m sorry, but like I said I was in a hurry.....in the end I regret nothing!”

We carry on until a big stone structure appears “Well here it is everyone.”

“Hm....how long was it that I have not seen my body.....hehe my memories are nearly gone....”

“Now for another problem.......freeing him.....any of you know how to free a statue from imprisonment.”

“Oh oh I know I know!” Pinkie Immediately speaks up after I ask “Maybe if you touch him he will be free like the other statue thingies!”

As much as I knew that wouldn’t be the same with Ruby I did it anyway “Nope nothing’s happening....”

“Maybe you can use what ever it is you have on your back.” after Twilight mentioned this I remember the gun Kei gave me.....guess I never gave it back....”I can’t use this..........it is a highly destructive weapon that may shatter his body entirely...”

“Well atleast you can try to see what happens....I mean it can’t be too bad.”

As I fire at the statue a huge cloud of dust comes from the shots and after it fades away the statue stays the same with no signs of bullet holes or anything “It just blew dust of it....”

“Highly destructive weapon.....more like efficient feather duster!” Rainbow says and soon starts laughing like a crazed hyena.

“Well we are out of options”

“Never thought I had to use these...” Twilight says as she puts down her saddle bag and pulls out a tiara and five necklaces “Twilight I thought you left these with the Princess why do you still have them?”

“Well I came to the conclusion we get into many problems when we need these the most so I decided I’d keep them on me in case a big trouble came up....and see it wound up a good idea after all!”

“Hey exactly what are those things?” I ask twilight confused by the items she pulled out

“They are the Elements of Harmony!” as she says this me and Ruby freeze and look directly at her “Come again....”

The six ponies now with the gems that match their cutie marks soon started floating “If this doesn’t free him nothing will!” their eyes glow white and soon a huge rainbow laser flew towards the statue and encased it causing some cracks to appear on the statue.

“OW!” Ruby shouted after the light attack made contact

“Once more!” Twilight said before she fired another rainbow colored laser this time almost nearly shattering it causing Ruby to shout as he was experiencing a world of extreme pain “Ruby you alright man?!”

“Third time's the charm girls!” is all Twilight says before they start to fire again.

“Baron if they do that again it will overload the curse on my body and mind and it will kill me so you have to intercept it!”

“With what?!” is all I say as Ruby prepares for the worst.

“I’m going to regret this...” I launch the attack I had learn when fending off Discord and it blocks their laser although not entirely as they push back my attack like nothing, but before they completely overwhelm me the power between the two lasers causes a small power explosion to that encases me in smoke.

Mountain peak in Everfree Forest

“Ugh.......what happened.....Baron why did you do that......Baron...” as the smoke cleared I no longer see the statue, and unfortunately Baron as well “Uh oh.....”

Everfree Forest?

(Ruby will now have different colored lines due to his alignment to fire and the same will happen to later characters)

“Ow.......Ruby you alright?” as I look around I see a black and red pegasus next to me “You got your body back!”

Ruby doesn’t move “Ruby are you alright?!” as I say this he start to stir and groan “Oh good you had me worried there for a sec.

“Who.......who a-are you.....?” is all he says as he rubs his eyes.....completely drained from the pain he suffered from whatever it was the six ponies did to his body “What.....come on man its me Baron!”

As he gets up he becomes fully aware of me then his eyes grow wide “Y-You are....”

“Yea i’m Baron.”

“B-Ba.....what.....n-no you are t-the s-son of......” is all he says still looking at me

“W-What....whose son....what are you talking about?!” I shout at the burning phoenix-like pegasus who just responds with “Yes....you a-are his son.....just like he said....no mistake.......your name is....A.....a...a-a....” he passes out leaving me clueless “I HAVE A NAME.....TELL ME...DON’T PASS OUT NOW.......!” I punch the ground in anger seeing as my only chance at finding out something important is now gone.

I pick up the passed out pegasus and start to look around “Where are the girls.....did they go back to town.....I should check....”

Sweet Dreams are not made of this

I guess to look into ones mind is one way to learn more about ones self....even it if isn't what they wanted to learn in the first place

I keep walking with the unconscious pegasus on my back and soon notice that I am back at my starting point “Oh boy......this is gonna take a while....” as I finish I soon notice a black shadow which was similar to the one that came out of the last statue I had activated.

“Who goes there!” I say to the tormenting creature “I have a gigantic weapon that I have no clear idea of using!” I randomly shout out as I pluck Angel Wings from my back.

The creature soon stops in front of me causing me to freak out and fall on my back only to notice that it is a small cat like creature with a bushy tail, horns, and petite wings.

“Heh and I was afraid it would be something much worse.......come here you.” I reach out to grab the small creature only for it to immediately jump away in fear “Oh boy I shocked you badly.....come to think of it how did you end up here with me.......you must have followed me after I freed you and got lost in the blast caused by me and elements......” I stand up and look around “Ok something weird is wrong here and it’s starting to bug me how does a mountain disappear in one minute....especially when people.....er creatures are still on it....I know this forest is strange and all, but still thats a little bit too much....I hope nothing happened to the elements.....” as I say that I look towards Ruby “Who am I kidding...I need them dead.....as long as Ruby and I are still partners.”

I try to walk through the forest again and soon remember the little creature and walk up to it only for it to freak out again “Please don’t seal me away again daddy..........” is all it said which freaked me the hell out.

“You talk!........wait daddy?.........i’m sorry little one but I am no ones father.....” is all I say to it “You’re not?....but you sound the same and have the same presence to be around.....or did you forget everything about me after you sealed me away.....am I still worthless....” they way it spoke made me wonder if Discord was who it was expecting me to be “I’m sorry little one i’m not your father....but I may know him....I have with me someone who used to work with your father....tell me if you have seen him before.” I put the unconscious Ruby on the ground and the small thing rushes towards it quickly “Uncle Ruby!” it was now definite....Discord was who it meant.

“What happened to him?....is he gonna be alright?” as it says this I notice sadness in its voice and completely confirm that the little thing is a girl......and a young one at that “Yes little one he’s just extremely tired and passed out....he should wake up in a bit.” at this she lightens up abit “Can you tell me exactly what kind of creature you are?....as well as your name?”

“I am....uh...what did Daddy call again.....um.....oh he called me a chemaru.....chamerari.....or something.”

“A chimera?”

“Yea yea that chomare thingy!...oh and my name is Tyra.” I pick up Ruby as she says this “Ok Tyra we should get a move on as I doubt this forest is safe to be in.”

“That’s one of the reasons daddy sealed me away here.....” as she said that something in me exploded “If I had a heart right now it would be broken.......” we continue walking and soon the pegasus on my back starts to wake up “Ugh where am I......oh hey Baron where the hell are we?"

“You wake up after passing out from memory overflow and that is what strikes your view.....haven’t you noticed anything about yourself yet......”

“Myself......nope same old........oh....” as he finishes I smack him on the head “Baka”

“Don’t insult me in different languages...” is all he says while rubbing his head “Also Ruby do you know this little creature here?” I nudge the little chimera towards Ruby “Tyra!” he immediately dives down and hugs the little creature.....Ruby with a kind side...this is new... “Oh man I thought you were gone permanently after that bastard used his demented magic on you.”

“He just sealed me into stone.....”

“I’ve been there.....well partly......”

“But he’s right here and he doesn’t seem to remember doing it!”

“Tyra Baron is not Discord......well not entirely......Baron is more like a weaker half of him that didn’t end up in the same body.”

“So they had different families.....how did that happen.” as she says this Ruby stops as if he heard something he didn’t want to answer “Um...I don’t know how or why it happened....I also don’t know much about Baron or Discords parents....” I knew Ruby was lying under his breath but I didn’t have the proper motive to confront him now that Tyra was accompanying us “Right well.....why does she call you uncle?”

“She called all of his generals uncle or aunt due to us constantly following his commands as if it were family favors......also we were around her more often than him and so while we were we treated her with the right necessities that he always neglected...” Ruby says as he flies to me making sure Tyra didn’t hear.

“How did Tyra come from him?”

“She’s not his necessarily....while she was extremely young he took her....so she has no absolute memory of her actual past due to her not even experiencing an actual past.”

“Why would he do that?”

“The chimera race was unruly since time brought their existence into reality....they could cause mass hysteria...or could be used for keeping things in check....i’m pretty sure you understand now?”

“One hundred Percent.....man that’s horrible.....one more thing Ruby...something bugged me when you said bad things about your own form why is that?”

“Because a pegasus isn’t my actual form....i’m an ifrit.”

“Then why is your body a pegasus.......nevermind....”

“Heh....yea he turned his magnificent creatures into 6 ponies....and his left and right hand stayed the same.....now how did it go....ah yes 2 of each pegasus, unicorn, and earth.....now stop with the question about my life and let me ask you one......”

“Ask away my burning compadre.”

“Where are we?”

“The everfree forest.....i’m sure of it...”

“I know that, but something feels off......it doesn’t feel like OUR everfree.....”

“Ugh no inception ideas please.....let’s just try to find our way back to ponyville.....”

“By the way where are the elements?”

“Possibly back there thinking I was gone.”

“Then let’s hurry......hehe this will be fun.”

Me, Ruby, and Tyra continue walking and soon notice that its become night “Wow time sure does fly when you’re lost in a creepy strange forest doesn't it.” and we continue walking and finally come up to a huge tree.

“We've been here before....wait...I sense a weird presence here...Baron are you picking up any....thing." is all he says annoyed as he looks at me.

(Zzzzzz)

“He’s asleep......oh well a nightmare will wake him up soon enough.”

As I stay asleep I soon open my eyes to see nothing but a darkness everywhere.

“Where the hell am I?” as I finish talking something immediately responds your mind...a nightmare wants to make itself known but it needs you aware while you’re in the contents of your mind....this nightmare isn’t one like the others you’ve experience....it will still frighten you, but in a different manner.”

“What does that mean!” as I finish I soon learn that the voice is gone and soon a bright light envelops me.

I open my eyes and soon see and hear multiple images involving my presence “What the hell is all this?”

“Alright you wanna test my skills you merciless disaster then come at me with all you got!” that is all I hear but soon the image becomes clearer and I see another human charging at me....I could not see his figure though as it was just a charging shadow....weird...but the image fades away and the next one appears.

“Wild Slasher I need you and Gale to fly over the forest and get the stranded insectoid inhabitants that are trapped and or can no longer fly as for you Scissor Horns you need to make sure any evacuating forest inhabitants get out safely.” is what I hear me say to a griffon, and two other creatures...a dragon and a minotaur?

“What about you Bud?.....what are you planning on doing while we're out saving everyone else?”

“I need to look around the sides of whole broken airship and make sure the Princess and her royal “knight” are fine and not under the rubble of this broken air device.” as I saw myself walk around the ship i noticed that my body seemed a bit more demented than just my arm but soon something else happened “Lily!......Star root!....are any of you out here?” just as he finished speaking a huge tree that was on fire started to fall over and was directly over me but before I could see what happened next the image ended and the third and final one appeared.

“Baron that girl isn’t worth it!...why do you bother with her anyway if she hated you from the beginning...i’m sorry that we caused this we were trying to protect you...”

“I don’t care who you did it for I need to find Covet.....I need to apologize....for everything....I need to tell her that I didn’t do the things you guys caused....oh she must never want to see me again......”

I see me running away from Locke?!...anyway as I run I soon see me looking at a female figure “Covet is that you?”

“What do you see in that girl anyway?...I am all what she could never so just go with me!”

“Movement what the hell are you doing here on outsider ground! shouldn’t you be with your low life marauder groups....now leave me at once.....your lucky i’m not attempting to kill you!”

“Oh but I’m sure I have what you are looking for.” I soon see the female figure snap and a minotaur brings another girl “Covet!.....this is a new low for you Movement.....”

“Just come with me and she goes free..”

“Um how bout you let her go, I kick your asses, and we call it a day?”

“I was afraid you wouldn’t see the right way........” she snapped again and soon the other girl forced her mouth free and shout “Baron look behind you!”

I see a huge figure behind me and before I see it attack me the image fades away.

“What the hell is all this supposed to mean?” after I say this a black shadow morphs into a somewhat humanoid creature wearing a dark suit and on his face a blank mask...yet the back of his head can still be seen and it was clear that he had green hair, and at the same time the mask itself seemed strange.

“It’s supposed to show you what will happen to you.”

“I don’t believe you...”

“It’s going to happen..”

“It won’t..”

“You can’t stop time from happening...”

“But that’s not my future!”

“Are you afraid....of what will happen?”

“Just let me get out of here..”

“I don’t want to....now that I have you here i’ve decided I will keep you trapped here forever living a nightmare you despise the most just like i’m forced to be left here trapped to curse all.......”

“What the hell...why?”

“I am the embodiment of nightmares and I exist in everyone, but for some reason....when I appear to torment you....I gain more power from your mind to do more thing than what I should be limited to do!” his blank mask suddenly gains a small picture.....a demonic smile.

“Now I have another reason why you can’t stay!” understanding now how he is able to have this form I try to leave again.

“Heh good luck...I’m the reason you’re trapped in here.....so to get out you’ll need to get rid of me...and I don’t see that happening anytime soon without any means of defense!”

“Think Baron...this is your mind....that’s it....” I immediately start straining myself with thought.

“Whatever the hell you're doing is just wasting your time so no prepare to be extinguished.”

As he lunges Angel Wings appears right in front of me “It actually worked.....” I grabbed onto Angel Wings and swing with full force but the mysterious shadow creature just flips forward placing his feet on the edge of A.W. and shoves me away easily.

“Ha even with a weapon you’re a sad excuse for a warrior.” As he finishes he jumps into the visionless sky as I still stay on my back flat on the ground “Ow.....where is he going?......” he then immediately falls down feet first on my torso “AUGH.......”

“Now you see how sad you are....”

“All I see is a bug that needs squishing......”

“Pathetic...” As he says this he kicks me away “I’m going to die....inside my own....mind...how sad....” he starts to laugh as the picture on his mask turns into a mouth laughing.

As I lay on the ground in pain while watching the shadow walk away I hear a voice....and it comes from.....Angel Wings?

“Come one master get up!......don’t tell me you’re down and out already....”

I look at my bludgeon which is floating in front of me... “Great....i’m losing it...”

“No your not....I guess looking at me in this form is confusing you so i’ll take my other form!” and like that my huge bludgeon became a little red-headed girl with stumpy white wings and her clothes matched mine cept hers were smaller and weren’t as tattered as mine “Angel Wings?”

“Yep its me....in my true form I guess you can say....and what he says is true we spiritual beings can only take material form in your mind.....something allows us to become this.”

I just stay looking at the little fairy girl and wondered.....how is a weapon that brutally beats things a girl....

“Master stop daydreaming and start fighting!”

I snap out of my questioning trance “How that thing can flick me off like a booger!.....and I can’t fight with you as a little girl now can I!”

“A good warrior doesn’t just rely on a heavy weapon he is diverse and knows how to deal with a situation!”

“Well then I guess i’m a terrible warrior...”

“Can you atleast try to get motivated.....”

“What’s the point.....i’m going to be stuck in my own mind forever....”

“And you’re going to let the reason you ended up a mutant go away unharmed then?”

At that moment I stopped moping “Your right!....i’m not going to give up even if he does turn me into pudding!” I started winding my arm like a windmill.

“How are you going to hit me from over there you imbecile” that moment he laughed even harder.

“I launched my fist and it stretched all the way to where the shadow was “HAHAHAHAHA...what’s that......” The picture on his mask becomes a question mark “Uh oh this is going to...” the question mark becomes an exclamation point as my fist smashes his mask and blasts him off.

(thud)

“Ow....when I get my hands on him for punching me on the mask i’m going to...” as he places his hand on his mask he notices the bottom half missing as he touches his mouth instead of what he thought would be mask “Oh no my mask!.....no one must ever see my face eve.....” he is silence after my left arm blasts through his gut.

“Then let me take you to a place with no paparazzi.” I pull my demonic red arm out from his body which forces black sludge to come out of his body....no doubt its his “blood”.

“Huh?...” is all he manages to force out.

I put my palm on the open hole in his body and soon it starts to glow.

“What are you....” he is shut up immediately as i used shining buster which started incinerating him as he was blown off into the darkness that was my mind.

“THIS ISN’T OVER I’LL BE BACK AND I’LL GET YOU FOR THISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.” is what he says as he flies off into the shadows.

“Good luck with that.”

“You did it!” Angel Wings shouted with delight.

“I guess I did.” at that moment I started to feel light headed “I think....i’m waking...up.”

“See you later master.”

(thud)

I fall to the ground and as I open my eyes I notice The overgrowth of trees and see Ruby and Tyra hovering over me.

“Geez finally!....I thought you said you never get a full night of sleep....” Ruby said annoyed

“I slept all night?”

“What are you deaf?....yes you slept the whole night and now its morning.”

“It is morning!” I said as I looked around “I finally got to sleep!”

“Um Baron...your creeping us out...” is all Ruby says as he covers a scared Tyra.

“Oh sorry i’m just happy that seeing after I beat that jerk in my mind I was able to get a good night’s sleep.”

“What jerk?”

“Some dude who calls himself the creation of nightmares or something.”

“Sounds like a creature Luna spawned....regardless what was the nightmare about this time.”

“It was weird visions of the future.....I hope that they don’t happen....but I can’t change the future if I may cause what will happen to happen anyway...”

“Wait what?...i’m confused....”

“So am I.....it’s just that the first vision seem like it happened soon....”

“What was it.”

“Another human....he and I were fighting somewhere around this forest!”

“Maybe the dreams of what you saw will happen if we end up meeting this mysterious other human.”

“I sure hope not....one more thing though.....after the first vision....myself in the other visions...my body looked more deformed than it is now...”

“That we will have to wait and see for.”

As I finish talking I pick up Tyra and we continue on our way to find a way out.....

Knytt's Night Out

It's my turn to talk here.....let's see how much infamy I can build before they see the real me...

As I walk through the barren wasteland I noticed that the creatures in the dark armor were finally closing in on me.

“Finally worked up to nerve to come to me eh? well then big mistake for you!”

They all storm in on me and with closer glance i see that these creatures are not humanoid at all “Yeesh and here I thought Baron was ugly.”

(Everfree Forest)

“Ah...ah....ACHOO.....ugh...”

“Catching a cold Baron?”

“No..no just felt like....someone was insulting me behind my back...”

I evade there uncoordinated strikes and soon start kicking the more pathetic ones away “You guys are making this too easy.” I soon pull out my rapier and start slashing about at the unarmed bits of flesh....or whatever it is these things are covered with and soon switch to delivering a fatal stab to some of them “You know for big so big and scary you seem as though you wouldn't even hurt a kitten!”

They all stormed after me once they heard that insult allowing even more of them to end up exposed which I follow with my quick slashes of death “I was wrong.....YOU POSSIBLY COULDN'T HURT A KITTEN....HAHAHAHAHAHA!”

After making my way through the horde of them the rest that were also charging at me suddenly stopped “What?...you giving up so early?....that’s no fun....”

“Why do you kill my warriors strange one....” I quickly turn to the direction of the voice “Who the hell are you?”

“My name is Guillotine and I repeat why did you slaughter my men?”

“It was only self defense.....I was just walking along minding my own business as I look for someone and they feel the need to jump me.....so I fought back.”

“Hehe is that so....mindless idiots these warriors are wouldn’t you say?”

“Indeed....wait....why would you think so little of your men after you asked me why I killed them...I thought you were worried for them?”

“Worried? for these brainless imbeciles?...why they're a dime a dozen as you can slaughter thousands...and with a simple process (unless the ones we choose to “recruit” don’t come quietly) we have a restock of men.”

“That is so cruel and evil......I LIKE IT!....I should of thought of a strategy like that back on earth.....”

“Haha boy you are something....come follow me.”

“Why should I?”

“You want to waste your time killing the rest of these idiots?”

“Good point.....”

I follow the creature who what I can now confirm is a dragon and soon we reach a futuristic building “Talk about your change in scenery...”

“Haha this is just the beginning.”

We carry on and I soon see a group of thousands of masked and armored creatures “What the hell is all this?”

“This is my army.....well the weaker part of it at least.” is all he says as he keeps moving “Come now I’ll show you the better part of it.”

We soon arrive to places with more combat efficient fighters with different masks and armor and soon the next with even more advanced fighters and finally a room with fighters that make my worlds Strongest men look like butterflies once again with different masks and armor “What with the alternating get up?”

“It symbolises rank among our.....group.”

“There's a fifth room there...are there even stronger fighters in there?”

“Curious aren't you?”

We walk into the room and I see five chairs...four of them filled with other creatures......these did not have masks and their armor seemed pretty flimsy compared to what i’ve seen so far.

“Welcome back General Guillotine Sir!......what the heck is that with you sir?” said a minotaur.

“I happen to be a human you disgraceful bag of flesh!” I shout to the uncouth minotaur.

“Why You!” he starts to charge at me only to be stopped by Guillotine “ENOUGH.....you will not harm this one Quake Storm....he is quite a handy fighter and he will be joining us as well.”

“WHAT?!” me and Quake Storm say in unison.

“Now listen up buddy I never agreed to join whatever the hell your group does.”

“You will once I tell you this.”

“What are you talking about?”

“The person you’re looking for is another human is it not?”

“That wasn’t really much of a guess to make, but yes it is.”

“What if I told you we know where he ended up.”

“I’d say you need an explanation fast.”

“He appeared a couple of days ago and “buddied” up with our opposing group and so our undercover agents have managed to get an even closer view of him....he has blonde hair, red eyes, and has a huge bludgeon with him doesn’t he?”

“....Everybody get’s lucky with their guesses here and there..”

“Still not convinced?....How bout this.....his name is Baron and he is your brother.”

“Alright fine you know him but why do want me.”

“Because we run missions against them and if they send their new recruit on missions then you may bump into him while doing one of our requests.”

“Can’t beat logic like that....”

“Great to have you onboard...”

“But Sir what will the other generals and leader say about this?!”

“I don’t know....let’s ask them shall we!” he turns towards a wall and It turns out to be a huge monitor.

In seconds eight pictures appear on the monitor soon joined by a ninth “This better be good Guillotine....” said a masculine voice from the first frame “It is Toxic.”

“It better be I was in the middle of something important.” a feminine voice said from the second frame “Movement my dear just wait and see.”

“GUILLOTINE WHY HAVE YOU DISTURBED US!” said the one in the ninth frame “Please be patient my lord.” as he says this he turns to me “Go now!”

“Um....HI :D” I say in an annoying manner to see what they would do.

“What the hell is that?” said another masculine voice that had a body style similar to the female coming from the third frame.

“Weird thing isn't it?” said a towering figure coming from the fourth frame.

“My my if i’m not mistaken its another human.” said......a horse?....from the fifth frame.”

“Another human?.....my word this is going faster than I thought it would....hehe perfect...” said the dragon shaped figure from the sixth frame.

“Yes and he agreed to join us.”

“WONDERFUL...and it didn't have to be by force.....now if we can get the other one we’re golden.....hehe this one may even become a general himself in a bit if he’s anything like what we saw in the other one.”

“My name is Knytt and I am hunting down Baron for needs of my own I must accomplish!”

“How lovely a family dispute!...but before we send you out to do anything come now ever introduce yourselves!” said the ninth voice again.

In a second all the frames lit up and I saw a variety of creatures.

“Names Toxic you freakazoid.” said the weird mutated dragon in the first frame.

“Movement is my name and don’t forget it....or it will be the last thing you do forget...” said the creature in the second frame....in the stories of what I have hear about weird creatures never has there been one involving this one....she seem near humanoidish....”

“SCREAMERS MY NAME BUD HAHA!” said the third figure...also like the second creature the same species...the same undefined...”

“Names Basher......and before you ponder I am a giant.” is all that the earthy nature like creature from the fourth frame said.

“I am called Sapien my dear boy.” said the fifth frame figure and I was right...it was a horse....and this one had horns and wings...my guess an alicorn.

“Wild Slasher is my name you hewmon.” said the dragon from the sixth frame.

Soon the ones in the seventh and eighth frame spoke up “My name is....Multiscale.” said a female green dragon.

There was more than one figure in the eighth frame “My name….shall only be told to you once.....and don’t go spreading it around.....my name is Endless Fate.” this creature was an alicorn just like Sapien only female

“My name is Jaw Snap and I am the leader of these 9 generals you see.” An amazingly large dragon appeared in the frame so large I actually felt a new emotion....was it fear?

“This world is amazing in its diversity in its creature supply.” I say towards all the creatures.

“So then you do accept fully.” Guillotine says to me.

“Yes and with your help I will finally destroy the waste fo matter that is known as my brother!”

(Everfree Forest?)

“AH-CHOO!” ugh....

“Boy someone must not like you.”

(Guillotines Base)

“And any imbecile of lower intelligence who plans on helping him!”

(Everfree once again)

“ACHOO.....huh?”

“Guess you’re also lacking fans Ruby.”

(Honorbound main meeting point)

“ACHOOOOO”

“Ugh.....I think I caught a cold.....” I said.

“Gale you’re a walking virus aren't you...” Kei said disgusted

“Hey don’t blame me Kei and what the heck Clawfang sneezed too and so did you so why are blaming only me!” I said infuriated at Kei.

“Would both of you kindly....SHUT UP!” Clawfang said angered.

“Yes Clawfang....” we both said ashamed.

(Baron’s mind)

“ACHOO!.......eh....that's strange......eh probably nothing.....”

(Earth)

“ACHOOOOO!”

“Urk....wow how did we all sneeze at the same time?” I said

“I...don’t...know.” Reese said confused.

“Freaky...” Wish said in a spooky voice.

(Guillotines Base)

“ACHOO!”

“Wild Slasher....Knytt...are you sick?” Guillotine said.

“Eh no....and I have a strong immune system...” I said

“So do I.....” Wild Slasher said.

“ OK this is creepy....but anyway what do you guys want me to do for starters.

“Well Starter Pack we have a current project building and it requires two different types of stones...the first one is located under Canterlot....the second....well that's what you will have to find out...”

“That's a lot of menial task....I’ll get right on it.”

“You can take the tank I have out in front of my base....and a couple of my men.”

“Alright lets go.”

As I go out I see the tank Guillotine mentioned “Wow now that's an advancement in technology....”

“Well off to Canterlot.....where is Canterlot?”

“Just go to where we say Sir Knytt..”

“Right....onward.”

After a while we make it to Canterlot which I soon find out is at the side of a mountain “alright lets go..” after a while of climbing we make it to a side entrance and head inside “So the first set of stone are located in a mine under the castle right?”

“Sir Yes Sir!”

“Ha I love these guys.” as I finished saying this we carry on until a....unicorn?.....amazingly yes it was a white unicorn with a blue mane and a picture of a shield with stars at the side of his flank who stood in front of us.

“Why are all you black armor wearing creatures here?” as he said this the group of marauders with me started to pull out their weapons “Not here you idiots!” i say to them to cause them to halt and after seeing that the unicorn got angry “So you’re here to attack us then!”

“Easy there pointy......come walk with me...” this is all I say to the unicorn as I force him to walk along with me into an area where the group of people could not hear “Come now....what is your name you easy to anger brute....”

“Shining Armor?...why is that of any importance.....”

“Listen to me Shining Armor you’re the lead guard around here am I right?......you carry out the orders of who does what and how the hell they do it here?”

“Where are you getting at?”

I close in and speak to him while my eye stare directly into his “Oh no you are not just chief guard of this area you are with me and you work for me!......you will be....the exact opposite of who you are!” as I say this the same happens to him as anyone I use my mesmerizing voice abilities on.

“What are you orders Sir Knytt.......”

“There is a mine under the castle....do you know a way in without alerted the Princesses?”

“Yes....follow me.....” as he finishes we all follow him and soon end up in the mine “Alright guys load up the cases with stones and then go back to the tank to load them up!” as I say this the creatures immediately go to where the tank was left off.

“Say Shining i’m looking for another type of stone, but my sources don’t know where it is located.”

“What does it look like Sir.....” as he says this I show him a picture that Guillotine gave me and he soon spoke up again “That is an old type of stone that Celestia once spoke about....it is located under the dirt in Ponyville......”

“Excellent....I knew you would be of assistance...can you escort us?”

“As you wish...” with this said we all head back to the tank and with Shining’s help we were off to ponyville “ Hehe this wasn't that hard after all.....

Under zero and lower

Here is where my problems with this creature from hell began....and up to now I still don't know if its truly gone....

“Ugh i feel like we've been here forever don’t you Ruby?”

“Were walking in circles Baron haven’t you noticed that yet....”

“I was hoping it was my imagination.....”

“Uncle Ruby.....i’m scared.....”

“Don’t worry Tyra we’ll find a way out just you wait!” is all Ruby said trying to comfort the scared little chimera.

(True Everfree Forest)

“Nononononono this is very bad.......” I say pacing back and forth repeatedly

“Don’t worry Twilight so you blew up that dude its not that big a deal.” Rainbow Dash says which annoys me.

“Not that big a deal?! He was someone Princess Celestia specifically instructed me to not let anything happen to!......oh I am so going to the sun for this.......” I curl up into a ball after saying this.

“Nah the worst you’ll get is a trip to the moon.” Rainbow says once again annoying me.

“NOT HELPING RAINBOW!” I yell towards Rainbow to shut her up.

“Now now fighting ain’t gettin us anywhere naw is it?” Applejack said trying to stop the yelling.

“You’re right Applejack......i’ll just say....it was an accident.......oh i’m doomed.....”

(Everfree Forest?)

“ARGH THIS TREE IS FINALLY STARTING TO ANNOY ME!” Ruby said about to explode from the looks of his temper.

“We have passed that big tree a couple of times now....something doesn’t seem right about it....”

“I’m glad you finally noticed....I thought you guys would never catch on!” said a voice that seemed to come from everywhere.

“Who’s there?!” as I yell out the tree starts to do a ripple effect “What the hell......”

“I must say that explosion you caused really did perfect work to wake me up....being trapped in this area for an eternity got so dull I literally fell asleep.....that is until your woke me up.”

“Where....who....what are you?” it speaks almost instantly “Well I am a creature that controlled these areas since the dawn of time, yet everything that I let live seem to not appreciate everything I did to cause destruction in the area so they all rose up and for many years the creatures of the Underearth, Overworld, and Interspace finally managed to split my body open where they could reach at my soul and destroy it once in for all.....but when that plan backfired they ended up sealing me away in what I call the negative zone which you three are now current residents.”

“I am not going to stay stuck inside a mad things world!”

“Thing?....now thats how you can tell they can’t do much.....HAHAHAHAHA.” as the voice just keeps laughing the creature emerges from the tree to show a horrid shadow monstrosity “I never properly told you my name, but in this state I guess it doesn’t matter so you may call me Arc de stalker.....as for you getting out of here..its going to be near impossible with these timberwolves.”

“Timberwolves?...heh with a name like that these things gotta be pathe-” I am cut off by twelve wolves made of wood lunging at me at full speed with me just barely able to dodge them “WHAT IN THE BLOODY HELL ARE THESE THINGS?!”

“Timberwolves! damned creatures that are obviously annoying and a nuisance to escape or fend off!”

“I’ll just turn them into a pile of sticks!” I prompt Angel Wings for an attack but before I launch a voice calls out “Boss I wouldn’t if I were you...” no doubt it was A.W. “human” form talking to me, but to do nothing was stupid so I swung anyway demolishing three wolves in the process “Hah these things fall apart like nothing at all.” but before I savor my victory the pile of sticks left behind reassemble into a bigger more menacing timberwolf “Oh you have got to be kid-” I am flicked like a booger by the wolf through the forest.

“I warned you boss....timberwolves can do that when something/one tries to do an “easy” kill on them.”

“Couldn’t you have warned me about this....um I dunno...maybe...EARLIER!”

“I tried but you ignored me.” hearing that line I remembered that I indeed did “I hate my self from time to time.”

“Fight with all the will you have as you can’t defeat these wolves like that....”

“Ok I have had with you stalker so now take this you bloody freaks of nature!” I pound the remaining wolves and the big one all in a pile of twigs “HAHAHAHAH...wait....(facepalm)” as I did that the wolves reassembled into a huge wolf a size that could possibly eat me in one bite.....which it tried to do immediately.

“Next time I try to bludgeon the living sunshine into this thing Ruby....please punch me in the face....”

“WIth what?....these marshmallow hooves aren’t really that effective for beating sense into someone.....which you would think at the force ponies use them to buck things....”

“God Ruby you're back in your body but your fuse is dead.....wait....thats it!”

“What's it?” ruby asks questionly “Just light this damned thing on fire!”

“Are you sure thats a wise idea?” he asks me just to be answered with “Is anything i’m doing working at the moment? and he responds with “Good point....” and with that Ruby places Tyra on the ground and ignites once more and darts for the huge wolf that had me pinned to the floor encasing it in a overwhelming flame.

The wolf was now a giant fireball heading straight for me “Of course...” I swing Angel once again and this time the fireball explodes everywhere and when it tries to become the huge wolf again its sticks could not assemble so it became the separate twelve wolves again “It worked!....sorta...ok Ruby you get one half of em and I get the remaining half.

“On it Baron!” as that is said we both take our groups of timberwolves and start incinerating all in our path “Haha this just became one-sided really quickly eh Ruby?”

“Yea we got rid of all eleven of them with ease!”

“Haha yea all el......ELEVEN?!.....THERE WERE TWELVE RUBY WHERE THE HELL IS THE LAST ONE?!” we immediately heard a scream emanating from Tyra and Stalker started laughing his transparent ass off after noticing our stupidity.

As we started dashing for Tyra my burning Pegasus companion immediately stopped “Wait Baron I just remember something that Tyra is able to do!”

“Hah yea right like i’m going to believe most of the things you “remembered” as they have helped me so greatly so fa....” I stop as a see a ball of fire appearing from where the timberwolf was about to attack Tyra and in it I see a manticore pop out beating the living hell outta of the poor pile of wood, but this manticore was different from the other i’ve seen or noticed and this is no doubt that it was Tyra as with this manticore its wings were like that of dragons, its tail was a menacing cobra, its horns were curved in a spiral and the fur around her neck was a flaming inferno “Why has my life gotten to the point where seeing something as horrid as this no longer makes me want to shit bricks...”

“I tried Baron....” as Ruby speaks Tyra destroys and disintegrates the poor wolf and after the creature is dealt with Tyra walks out of the blazing fire and reverts back to the cute little chimera she was as she passes out.

As Ruby darts toward the unconscious fur ball Stalker now noticeably enraged starts towards me “Well I clearly did not plan for you to both be this annoying...but do not worry as I will eliminate you myself!” Stalker darts at me only to swing with A.W. but as it makes contact he turns into some sort of ooze and wraps around my weapon and then smashes into me launching me into the huge tree he emerged from.

(Everfree Forest)

As I start dragging my body I pass this huge tree which soon ripples and then I hear a familiar voice in pain “Baron?...”

(Negative Zone)

“Oh god I think that hit hurt me in the head more than it did my back cuz I think i’m hearing things...”

“No I heard it as well......haha I knew it wasn’t you alone that caused that explosion...and it seems they want you back, but you have to deal with me”

(Everfree Forest)

“Oh that is not good...”

“What isn’t Twilight?..” After Pinkie speaks Rainbow Dash walks up “I heard it too....”

“How can it be him when there was nothing left after the smoke cleared?”

“I’m telling you he is still around.....just where?”

(Negative zone)

“Oh I don’t know how bout....THE GIANT TREE YOU GUYS ARE STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO?!”

“Not bright if they can’t even understand that...then again they put you in here in the first place so I guess I should thank them...”

“How would you thank them?”

“Like this!” As Stalker says this the tree vibrates immensely and soon I hear sounds of a struggle.

(Everfree Forest)

“Uh....are you guys seeing this.....” I say as i see the tree vibrate horribly.

“Everypony run!” as Applejack tells us this we are too late as the tree absorbs the six of us.

(Negative Zone)

“Oh thats how....”

“Baron?!.....where are we?....and what the heck is that!” Twilight wastes no time in questioning what in the world just happened.

“Allow me to answer that myself my little lavender guest.....I am stalker, you are in the Negative Zone, and yes you placed Baron in here unknowingly it seems.”

“Stalker?......I thought that creature was nothing more than a myth......”

“Oh no I am very much real...and every possible thing you’ve heard of me is true.”

I see the six ponies quiver in fear as Stalker slowly approaches them and I quickly try to draw his attention “Yo slimey!” he turns around and see me with my shotgun like weapon in his face “Well I walked right into this now didn’t I...” with that I pulled the trigger and Stalker explodes into multiple puddles of ooze that splattered everywhere, but before it can hit the ponies Twilight pulls a shield up to cover herself and the other five and then drops it after the slime stops flying “Thanks Baron.....” we both turn to the five remaining ponies who were stiff as statues as none of them moved an inch “Hehe if you girls get this easily scared then it makes you wonder how you became the holders of the elements at all.”

“Ruby don’t mock them....at least we got Stalker.”

“Oh did you now....?” The ooze reconstructs back into Stalker and then launches himself at me again in which I shoot him again in which he explodes and the ooze flies past me only to reconstruct again “Wow if this is really the best you have then I guess consuming all of you will be a piece of cake....”

“You’ll have to catch me first!” I pick up Ruby and dart away from the ponies only to have Stalker follow, but he could not keep up with my speed giving me time to talk to Ruby “Ruby you can still absorb spirits right?”

“Whether if i’m in my body or not absorbing souls is something I can do regardless....I just ate souls as a spirit as it was all i could do-” I cut him off “Yea I don’t want your life story I just wanted to know if you could still do so..”

“Yea why?”

“I want you to absorb Stalker.” As I said this he stayed astonished but went with it anyway and so I dropped off Ruby with Tyra still in my arms and left him back a few feet to see how well the plan would work.

“I sure hope this works Baron....for my sake...and for yours....”

Walker Stalker

Here is where I learned that being tangible was not the only threatening thing Stalker could do...

All I can see is an angry spirit of damnation darting straight towards me as I see Baron run back to the ponies we left behind “Alright you piece of shit time to kick your non existent ass!”

“Oh just one of you?....bah it doesn't matter you will be one with the land soon.”

“Try it then Stalker!” I dart off ditching stalker and soon dart right back “Oh so the nerve to fight me came ba...eh?” Stalker stops mid-sentence as I ignite into flames to charge at him like an inescapable fireball....which I clearly was....until “Whoopsie....” Stalker opens up a hole in his torso area which I inevitably go through and miss my target altogether and crash through multiple objects and smash painfully into the ground “You cheap ass bastard.....I’ll get you for that!”

“Oh you can try all you like....but I must admit the ability to control flames like that at will did catch me off guard......not like that's going to help you anymore Mon Amie.....hahahaha.”

“You better mean the french version of that!” I dart at him full speed yet again “Don’t you learn?” He opens up a hole again, but I knew he would repeat the same thing and with that I arc to the left and smash through a tree causing it to fall on Stalker “Apparently you do....(SQUISH)” after seeing the tree crush the gooey mess I soon knew he would ooze out from under the tree and stood right there waiting for his reappearance “OK now that hurt....hey...where did you run off to now?”

“SURPRISE!” I open my mouth and start inhaling causing everything's natural life force to become absorbed within me which unfortunately for Stalker who was all life force did not appreciate “Oh so you can do this too....” did I say this was unfortunate for him.....well I may have milked my semi triumph....”Sorry but you make this too easy!” he arcs up into and smashes into my face head on like a cannonball “Did you really think it would be this easy...”

“Well judging by my case scenario and the fact that you were trapped in here and are nothing but a stubborn spirit who doesn't want to move on I kinda figured things wouldn't end up going so annoying fast.”

“Do I look like some pathetic mini boss in a game which can be taken care off with the least bit of thought?”

“You do not want me to answer truthfully.....”

(Escaping with the Mane 6)

As I stop to regain my breath one by one the petrified ponies regain consciousness

“Oh dear Celestia I've read about him in books but they never showed a picture of him.....and that's just his spirit form no less!” Twilight says pacing herself knowing eventually Stalker would catch up with us.

“Now now i’m sure Searing can handle himself purty darn fine against that.....thing.” Applejack states trying to calm down the panicking mares

“Applejack that thing easily made of fool of this guy and i’m pretty sure hes going to make easy work of Searing Flames...” Rainbow Dash clearly states annoying me “Oh I’m sorry but as I recall....YOU SIX PUT ME IN HERE TO START WITH!”

“We did no such thing!” Rainbow speaks in retaliation “Yes you did!.....with that multi colored laser thing the six of you shot at Searing’s petrified body you put me, Searing and Tyra in here!”

“I’m guessing after that attack you pulled off clashed with our attack it sort of created a multi field warp......sending the weaker half of the space anomaly creator in said anomaly...” Twilight says only to have rainbow back up with “Haha she called you weak.”

“Also Baron before I became petrified with fear I noticed you called Searing Ruby back before he went off to fight Stalker...”

As I hear her say this I tense up and quickly try to avoid it “I did no such thing Twilight so I have no idea what you’re talking about you must have heard things as you became filled with fear....”

“Hm.......well whatever I suggest we find a way to get out of this place and then we can discuss your partners real name....and what you really are trying to do.”

After this all I thought was “Crap this isn't going to end well” I immediately try to divert everything “Uh first we need to make sure Searing doesn't die....otherwise we will follow soon...”

(Fields of Negativity)

“I must say the only real harm you seem to be doing is to my self-esteem...and that's not even much to start with you pathetic little fireball...but then again you’re just sealed away in this pathetic pony form...how ironic that Me...the greatest creature of darkness to be sealed away by one am now killing a creature who is sealed in the form of one!” as Stalker finishes he tosses Ruby like a wayward projectile into a nearby tree causing it to collapse on him “You should have just stayed with the boy seeing as you’re useless to me as is!”

“Kiss my ass you Enigmatic freak...” I dart towards him then barrel roll to the right confusing him just as he was going to open his chest again to avoid me.

“What are you doi-” cutting him off I ignite and burn all the trees surrounding him which inevitably fall on him “Oh that’s what you were going f-(SPLAT)” the second Stalker is squashed I immediately start trying to absorb him by starting with the parts that flew into the air after getting crushed then carry on with the parts underneath the burning trees “Ah so this was it eh?...well if you want to play dirty you should have just asked!” I completely absorb Stalker shutting him up only to find out I can’t control my body “Oh my my not very complex insides...then again you’re nothing but a small fire elemental to me.”

“Get out of me you freak....” is all I say struggling to keep my still newly returned body in my control.

“With pleasure...I got what I can from you anyway.” with that Stalker ejected from my body...but when he rebuilt himself he appeared as if he had “evolved” to say the least “By the way...GET A LOAD OF THIS!” with that he ignited into a ball of fire and charged right at me smashing me greatly into a random direction of the forest and with that...I black out.

(Negative zone entrance)

“God what is taking him!”

“Maybe Stalker got him.”

“No way in hell is Searing losing to that metamorpho creep!” I say against Rainbow Dash’s last statement until we hear the sound of something crashing through the forest “Anyone else hear that?”

As if on cue Ruby crashes through multiple objects before coming to a halt right at our feet...or in the mare’s scenario their hooves.

“Oh my Celestia is he alright!?” Rarity shouts at the unconscious pony in front of her.

“Wait if he’s here then that means...” And with that Stalker bursts in as if called upon.

“It means you’re all doomed now!” he ignites on fire as soon as he finished “My my this is going to be fun.”

Quickly thinking while watching the explosive Stalker aiming towards us I yell “TYRA TIMBERWOLVES ARE ATTACKING!” and with that the little chimera’s eyes open wide and immediately she jumps off my and crashes into the fireball as a fireball herself and when the fire around her was out she was back into manticore form only for her to forcibly splatter the new and improve stalker on multiple trees before she passes out again reverting back into a tiny chimera..

“What the buck just happened!” Rainbow asks after seeing Tyra’s little transformation “We got time that's what just happened!” I pick up Ruby and Tyra and immediately run towards the tree that got us stuck here “Uh...uh...GUYS I WANT YOU TO TRY YOUR LITTLE LASER ATTACK AGAIN!”

“It’s not a laser attack its the power of our-” I cut Twilight off before she finishes speaking “JUST DO IT!” Stalker rebuilds himself then darts directly towards us “I WILL BE DAMNED IF I LET SUCH SIMPLE PRAY ESCAPE MY GRASPS!” with Stalker inches away from our faces the mares at my side immediately levitate with a rainbow aurora surrounding them and almost immediately the laser clashes with the infuriated fireball only for the laser to start failing to keep Stalker at bay “We can’t...hold him back...much longer.”

“Oh god this is not going well…” the fireball pushes the rainbow colored laser farther back as we now are forced to lean on the tree that brought us here in the first place “GUYS WHEN I SAY NOW STOP YOUR ATTACK!” the mares just lightly nod while still holding back the demon. and as we lean completely on the tree i pull out my hand cannon and immediately shout “NOW!” and with that the girls stop the laser leaving the burning fireball cloaked in the rainbow aura heading towards us and with leaving me to quickly grab onto the seven ponies around me plus Tyra while I pull out my gun and blast Stalker the second his face connects with the gun and suddenly everything blanks out.

(Real Everfree Forest)

We come tumbling down onto the ground and immediately we get up “What just happened!?” Twilight being the first of the mares to speak up “Hold on now..this doesn't seem ta be that creepy dark version of this forest...hey everypony I think we’re back in our world!” Applejack says only to quiet down after seeing something horrifying “Applejack what is it? Oh god is he behind me!” I say freaking out to see where Stalker is “No I’m in front of you…” as Stalker says this I scream like a little girl “EVERYPONY RUN!” and with that said I pick up Ruby and Tyra and we all run towards the forest exit only for Stalker to chase after us “Well girls it looks like we've met our maker...it’s been nice knowing you all for the brief amount of time we had.

“Same here.” Rainbow Dash said

“Ditto.” Pinkie Pie said

“I’d reckon I feel the same here.” Applejack says

“It has been a charming time well spent.” Rarity says

“It was a nice time…” Fluttershy says

“Yea it ha...WAIT A MINUTE GUYS WE’RE NOT DONE IN YET SO STOP ACTING LIKE IT!” Twilight says trying to put some sense within the others around her “See guys I see Fluttershy’s house right over there!” as she says this we all trip the second we leave the forest “Oh no…” is all Twilight says as she gives up hope to only to see Stalker unable to leave the forest “NO NOT THIS ACCURSED SEAL...BUT HOW I THOUGHT YOU FUMBLING MORONS BROKE IT ENTIRELY...NO THIS IS NOT THE SAME SEAL...SO I REALLY AM CURSED TO ONLY WANDER THE FORESTS FOR ETERNITY…” as Stalker says this we all laugh only for him to shut us up with a loud roar before disappearing into the forest “Well then I guess that makes this a problem for another day...on the bright side we’re still alive right?” I say just getting a long drawn out sigh by the six of them.

“First day meeting you and that happens...Celestia will have my head when she hears of this…” Twilight says picking herself off the ground “Who said anything about telling her about this?” I say trying to calm her down.”

“B-But but how would I get away with-” I immediately interrupt her “I won’t tell her if you won’t.” Twilight just nods as I say this “Say Baron...I feel I owe you a tour of this town.” I just nod realizing Twilight forgot to interrogate me on Ruby’s name.

“Let’s get a move on!”

Author's Note

Sorry for the extremely long wait it's just with real world affairs...I lost alot of time to work with.
But starting now I'll try to see how well I can keep up...although it still may not be much...

A normal day the pony way

Children where always fun little creatures and it made me happy to take care of them. To be there guardian, but what struck me was why?

“Alright me and the girls will plan out what to show you at the library while you take Searing and Tyra inside for Fluttershy to patch them up!” Twilight says as she, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack and Rarity all head towards the Treehouse library.

“Ok so this is your house right?” I get no response from the pony as I say this “Oh don’t start with this again…whatever.” I open the door and head inside “So where do I leave them?” Fluttershy just points at the couch “Alright then…” Baron places the unconscious pyrotechnic pony on the couch followed by the small chimera “Ok then so…” I look at Fluttershy he lifts her head up and then stares at me and finally speaks up “...You’re planning to kill Discord aren't you?”

“...W-What? As if I could kill a god...you’re a funny filly you know that?”

“No offense...but y-you can’t lie very g-good… I know Discord...I helped him be good...and he told me things about his past while he was still bad...about his generals…” She looks towards Ruby “I’m guessing since he’s here you’re planning on killing him…”

“You trained him to be good? Ha. Before I came to Ponyville I was assaulted by the demon and nearly killed!”

“About that… Discord was good… he even helped around, but suddenly one night...he just got angry and aggressive and started doing things that were to much...even for him...we were forced to turn him back to stone…”

“...I’m guessing I know why he’s mad…”

Fluttershy looks at Ruby “It’s because of him isn't it…”

“No...it’s because of me…” She looks to me confused and concerned “(sigh) Listen...I’m going to tell you something you CANNOT tell your friends...Yes that is Ruby Flames ex-general of Discord...and I am his vessel… a human who made a pact to kill him...later finding out I am (sigh) a part of him…” Her eyes widen and she gives a small, faint but still noticeable gasp “S-So you are...Discord to?”

“Ha...hardly, but at the same time...I guess I am. Listen...you can’t stop my mission…”

“I-I know...Celestia forbid I can do anything to stop you...after all I couldn't stop him...but might I ask w-why?”

“Well...all my life in my world...I was an outcast...and here I learn because I wasn't a legit human actually I was never a human to begin with...I was a demon and so I deathly deserved to be treated as one it would seem...and I guess out of anger I wanted revenge when I first found out as I entered this world...but now...it seems to be a matter above my own hands...which is now also influenced by major minds in this world…”

“Y-You mean the princesses?” she shuffled uneasily as she states this “Well that's one of the influences...Listen...Fluttershy I’m glad you opened up to show that you’re not a doormat...but I can’t really talk about this any longer...I’m sorry…”

“It’s alright...I mean...I can’t do much after all in some way...I guess discord deserves this...I’ll see what I can do with Ruby and Tyra.”

“Thank you...and once again...I’m sorry...wait...do the others know about this?”

“No...j-just me...the others never fully t-trusted Discord even when he was temporarily good...and about my friends...I d-don’t think it would be nice to leave them waiting any longer…”

“Alright then...I’ll see you later then Fluttershy.” I leave the timid ponies house and walk towards the tree house while uneasy eyes as despite being non lethal for being acquainted with Twilight I was still not the best thing to look upon at the moment “Somehow these stares...they remind me so much of the hate I receive on Earth...but this world...it’s more lethal to me then Earth ever was…” I finally make it to the Library and before I could knock on the door it swung open and a purple glow surrounded me and sucked me in the house “Ow...ok seriously your magic ignores me on one occasion and fully embraces me the next...can it make up its mind Twilight?”

“I’m just as confused as you are, but hey atleast we know my magic DOES affect you...to an extent…”

“Yes well I take it you girls have our little “tour” planned out completely?”

“Yeah! well first we’ll-” before Twilight can explain the whole tour a light blue magic aura clamps her mouth shut “Twilight deary...as much as one enjoys the sounds of your lectures I find that it would be more efficient to show our guests the places and have him learn about them himself instead of explaining in dreadfully long detail.” Twilight gets annoyed with Rarity, but nods.

“Splendid!” Rarity releases Twilight's mouth as she trots out of the treehouse “She has a way of doing things that really just...ugh…let’s just go Baron…” Twilight leaves the treehouse as well “Well now I reckon you just dodged a bullet there partner. Normally no one gets to avoid a vivid lecture from Twilight quite so easily iffin I say so myself...after hearing so many myself…” Applejack walks out the door as well followed by Rainbow Dash “Well it’s true Twilight isn't one to bring the life into the party but she’s great when there’s a time a problem needs to be solved!” Pinkie Pie says bouncing around me “Right then...let’s go then shall we?” she nods rapidly and bounces out of the door.

“Boy today is gonna be quite the day…”

“Welcome to Sweet Apple Acres!” Applejack shouts as we stop in front of a barn surrounded by a huge apple orchard “And it’s your lucky day partner cuz today’s the day the whole family is here for a reunion!” as Applejack said this she banged on a kettled and soon immediately shout “SOUP’S ON EVERYPONY!” a huge stampede of Earth ponies with apple themed cutie marks charged towards me “Oh dear…” Applejack rapidly started introducing every apple family members as I slowly started getting buried in apple treats of the same name of each pony introduced until Applejack finally stopped “Nice family don’t you agree? Uh Baron?” the whole pile of apple assorted treats starts shaking until I poke my head out with my mouth stuffed with an apple only for me to spit it out “Bleh…”

“Don’t like apples partner?”

“No quite the opposite, but it would be more enjoyable if I wasn't buried under every apple concoction know to pony…” as I say this she rubs the back of her head with her cheeks light pink “Hehe...yea we kinda overdo it from time to time with our...southern hospitality and such mighty sorry there!”

I struggle to get out of the apple pile “No worries...now uh...mind helping me get out of here?”

“Shucks that’ll be easy! Oh everybody!~”

“Oh no…”

After a while of cleaning dust and crumbs off my body I try ease the bruises I have from being trampled by a whole family of ponies “Hehe...I guess I overdid it again naw didn't I?”

“Once again no worries...that was a delightful family of yours! Minus the part of me getting trampled on by all of them...anyway where to next!”

“OH OH PICK ME PICK ME!” Pinkie Pie shouts adorable like a little girl trying to get an adults attention.

“(sigh) Yes Pinkie Pie?” she doesn't even answer she just somehow manages to pick me up and dart away “Uh...what just happened here…” Twilight asks

“I think our pink blur just kidnapped are fancy new friend…” Applejack responds with a facehoof.

“Well let’s go after her! She may overdo her welcoming again!”

“HOW CAN YOU MOVE AT SUCH BLINDING SPEED EVEN I CAN’T GO THIS FAST!”

“WHAT? I CAN’T HEAR YOU WE’RE GOING TO FAST! YOUR VOICE SOUNDS TO FUNNY TO UNDERSTAND!” she soon stops abruptly flicking me into a nearby tree “By this point...crashing into things should be a daily thing for me...ow.”

“Whoopsie! Sorry there, but look look look! Here we are at Sugarcube Corner!” Pinkie Pie points towards a large candy themed building “Huh...how cute looking...I take it this is a place that sells sweets?” Pinkie Pie once again nods at light speed “Well come on Baron! Let’s go meet the cakes!” Pinkie darts in immediately into the building “The cakes? Boy she really has a thing for sweets… Just endure it Baron...the party themed desserts will be gone in a flash…” I walk in the store to see Pinkie Pie talking with some other ponies in another room and suddenly darts back into the main room I’m in and soon speaks up again “And here he is!” two earth ponies walk in the main room and soon freak out at the sight of me “P-P-PINKIE PIE...I-IS THAT H-HIM?” they both say in unison “That’s Baron! Our new friend!” I smile sheepishly and wave my non mutated hand “H-Hello...um…”

“Meet Mr.Cake and Mrs.Cake! The owners of this place!”

“Oh so they’re the cakes you meant...I guess in this situation the cake would be considered a lie now wouldn't it!” I laugh as in the background a “badum tss” noise is made when suddenly a pie flies out and hits me straight in the face “WHO THREW THAT?” I say as I wipe the cake away.

“Well then...seeing as you're clearly not dangerous. I’m Carrot Cake and this is my wife Cup Cake!” I attempt to bow only to hit me head on a counter “OW”

“You seem a little...accident prone young man.” Cup Cake says to me “You have no idea…” suddenly another pie flies into my face “OK SERIOUSLY WHERE ARE THESE THINGS COMING FROM?”

“Well this is a pastry store Baron! So that was silly to ask!” Pinkie Pie said with an ignorant smile while the cakes facehooved “I take it she’s like this often?”

“You have no idea…” they say in unison “But aside from that we think we know where the airborne pies are coming from…so follow us!” Me and Pinkie Pie follow the cakes into the next room and see two little foals chucking pies everywhere “PUMPKIN AND POUND STOP TOSSING PIES AROUND THIS INSTANT!” the two parents say to their kids which they instantaneously do as the halt in a soldier line up formation “Sorry Baron...these are our kids Pumpkin Cake and Pound Cake!” I walk over to the kids and the three ponies behind me freak out thinking that my appearance may freak out the kids, but they don’t scream or cry at all instead they playfully latch on to me “Hehe hey now! That tickles! I don’t know how but it does!” I say holding them with my normal arm “Wow...he must have a way with kids...they aren't afraid of him at all!”

“I always took care of those younger around me despite the protest and malice I received from the adults so I know alot about kids! And I guess doing so made me nearly impossible for them to hate. And I guess the same rule applies to kids in this world to…” The subject of kids made me laugh and I held the small giggling foals and I just stayed there laughing with them… Temporarily relieved of all my troubles through the laughter of young ones.

Me, Myself, and Lies (The Cost Of A Broken Fourth Wall I)

Alright I’ll start my story here and then tell them how I got to be in that situation and...

Baron that sounds boring.......

Locke shut up as I can really make do without your criticism!

Hahahahaha...no you cant bro.

Just shut up and let me tell my story the way I want to....

(No Regrets Here)

Anyway back to the cave exploration and.....

“Why are we here again?”

“Because it seemed like it would be fun!”

“How does exploring this cave seem fun...”

Wow Baron even back then you were a dull buzzkill.

“Who said that?”

Wait he can hear me?

IDIOT SHUT UP YOU’RE MESSING UP THE NARRATION!

“Hey who's up there!”

This won’t end well.......

Hello past main characters Baron and Wish!

“Is that....Locke?”

“It is....the hell are you doing up there!....and who’s with you...and what do you mean past main characters?”

Well i’m up here with you!....or at least you from the future who has just completed his adventure and is narrating his story in the weird magical book he found during it in which his whole adventure replays in it!

Shut up!

“Wow I sound annoyed...”

“So we already went through this?”

Technically yes.....

“What happens to us?”

I can’t tell you it ruins the story......

“Buzzkill” they say in unison

HAHAHAHAHA now they think so too!

I’ll have fix this later......before moving on.....

(Knytt says hi)

Ok that took longer then needed....

Hey bro....

Please leave I cannot have any more interruptions....

Oh what can I possibly do.

Fine...

As we went through the cave we soon figured out we were not alone

“Oh god I have a bad feeling about this......”

Hey this is where I first show up!

KNYTT!

“Huh?....”

“Baron what the hell is going on?”

“Just spectate Reese...”

“Haha I found you and....eh...what are you four doing?”

“Just sit down look up and listen.”

“Wha....”

Oh great now they are messing up the story themselves.....

Not my fault.

IT SO IS!

(Equestria hates me)

“So you two are the monarchs of the land then ey?”

“That would be us”

“And what was with the light you sent out?....magic trick?”

“I was trying to banish you....”

“What!....Hey future narrator me did you know about this?”

Please don’t talk to me.......

“But she was trying to get rid of me!”

Calm down she did the same to me......

“That’s still no good excuse.....”

(Never trust Ruby)

“Ruby are you sure....”

“I know this land like the back of my hand!”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA oh that always cracks me up...

“HEY BUTT OUT FUTURE BARON!”

I’m sorry....it’s just so funny how I can’t trust you to know your own home.....BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

(Baron-Outsiders, Outsiders-Baron)

“That’s the last time I listen to you Ruby..........Ruby?”

Enjoy the silence past me.....enjoy the silence....

“Who is that....”

“Future me...”

“Wh-What?”

“I dunno just take me to Clawfang..."

Man I get aggravated easily.....

(Just plain useless)

“Why the hell would someone need these many traps...”

It was obviously necessary at the time

“Shut up future me!”

“What your future voice said.”

“Butt out Clawfang!”

“My my you seem angry..”

Oh just ignore me....

“I plan to...”

(Burning....no wait thats the lava)

“Kiss my ass you masked brainless freaks!”

“Well we would, but unfortunately we are against that.”

“Say what now....”

HAHAHAHAHAHA

“This is world is messed up in more ways than one......”

Oh don’t worry you will grow to love it!

“AHHHHHHHHH”

(Man vs wall of shame)

“Eat rocks blondie!”

Sheesh so much hatred towards my blonde hair.....

“We get this often?”

You have no idea....

“Baron use your gun to blast back the projectiles he’s throwing at you!”

“Why are you helping him!”

Because people enjoy watching you get your ass handed to you repeatedly.

“SHUT UP!”

(Falling for Equestria)

“So will you be our spy?”

“Well I will need info later on so yes.”

“Great news good luck on your current quest now.”

“Alright Baron now that we are outside shouldn’t”

“Are you alright?!”

“Ah nevermind....”

Right on cue

“Uh what?”

“It’s my future self again...”

“Oh right...Baron hop on I’ll get you to Ponyville.”

“Do I have to....”

Don’t worry there will come a day where you will make a much more harder decision.

“Lucky me.....”

“Now let’s go!”

“Wait i’m not properly on!”

Roll before you hit the ground!

(Raising a chaotic flame)

“Why the hell did you drag me here!”

“To kill you why else....”

“That seems kinda pointless.”

“Not as pointless as your life!”

For the god of chaos you suck at coming up with appropriately timed lines....

“Oh god he got you!”

“I’m going to enjoy this....”

(Beggars can’t be choosers)

“My god why is it that this land hates me....”

Eh it didn’t really bug me at that time past me but then again i’m not the one who’s going through this again.

“Very well so long as nothing pops up again to torment me.

Sounds fair game.

“Besides i’m in a town where everyone is afraid of me what could possibly go wrong for me!”

Yeah........

(a few moments later.....)

“Eat hooves you freak!”

“SON OF A …..”

(Blockheads)

“Oh man I should have brought my camera look at all these statues.....”

“Ooh Ooh I have one!”

“Where did you get that from?”

“It’s best not to ask when some weird thing happens that was caused by her.”

“Uh.....”

Trust her past me...

“Ok now take a pic of me leaning on this weird golem statue.”

OH WAIT PAST ME DON’T TOUCH THE.....

“OH GOD......”

Statues........
