"Hey human, you know I was playing around right?" she lied strait from her teeth. I ripped the bat from her magical grip, forcing her to fall on her rump as I took hold of both ends of the bat. Like instinct I quickly hit it against my thigh snapping it in two and throwing it aside. I then sat back down watching her carefully for any sign of possible malicious intent.

"Mint he didn't do this to me it was one of the escapees, he's just a lost pet from Canterlot that somehow must of gotten separated from his owner" Snare explained to Minty, who was staring back at me with fear. "Look Minty I don't think it will attack us if we leave it alone" he continued breaking the daze that she was in.

She walked over to her friend and pulled out a bandage and began to wrap the injury. "Snare what are we going to tell the boss?" asked Mint as she finished wrapping the wing.

"Don't worry Mint, everything is going to be fine. Besides if we could bring this human back with us it would probably make him go easier on us, that is if he follows us" he said trying to brush off whatever tension that was in the air. Yeah I should get going if I want to make it to Ponyvile still alive, and plus I don't wont to find out what they were planning. I got up and brushed off the sand and began my walk back home leaving the two ponies behind.

Light was surrounded by darkness with only his slivery eyes glazing into a glass orb showing Thomas going through the desert. "I've got to find a way...to make this all okay. I've got to find a way...I've got to find a way" he said repetitively to himself as small amounts of orange light began to seek into the room. The light moved like fireflies on a spring night, slowly hovering around encircling around Light and the orb.

"It's up to me to restore you somehow, I'll bring you back your memories Thomas. Piece by piece restoring your humanity" he promised as his silver hands came out of the darkness and held the orb. Suddenly another orb appeared showing Thomas on the battlefield putting on a gas mask as poisonous gas engulfed him. Followed by a forty or so more orbs containing images and information of people that was in his company.

Then light that came from above shined down a section of the dark void revealing a bookshelf. The orbs hovered to the bookshelf slowly becoming space less at they filled the bookshelves. "I promise to succeed Thomas, but there's not much I can do at this moment" he said as the orb began to shine.

"Of course there is n-nothing that you can do, just look at the s-situation we are in Light" a dark voice growled as crimson eyes appeared from within the shadows. Light stood silent focusing heavily on what Thomas was doing. "What's w-wrong? You're not trying to I-ignore now me are you?" the creature inquired as it entered the light that shined onto the bookshelf. It had grown more distinct features that made it look like a melted man, other than a runny blob of black goo.

I had been walking what felt like forever in this hospitable wasteland of the world, with the damn sun bombarding me with it intense heat. Mint and Snare was following me or we just happen to be heading the same way for the moment. They are at least a few feet away keeping their distance probably because Mint was still a little afraid of me. Then again most ponies are afraid of humans so I shouldn't expect her to get any closer, especially because what had happened earlier with the bat.

I had to stop moving do due to the heat causing the ponies behind me to stop as well. I looked for a place in the shade to rest in before I continue on returning back to Ponyvile. Nothing but the barren wasteland, however not far into he distance was the edge of the wasteland which connected to the grasslands. Suddenly I felt myself fall over face first into the ground exhausted. I couldn't move I was too tired and hot. My eyes slowly started to close as the hooves of who I could only guess was Snare and Mint, started up again from stopping. I felt my eyes beckon me to sleep as my eyes closed for the last time.

Opening my eyes I found myself in a dim lit room, laying on top of a straw pile. Where am I how did I get here and how long was I out, was the questions that came through my mind as I looked around. It took a moment for my eyes to adjust to the dark room but when they did they widen from the sight that was around me. I was in a cage surrounded by other caged humans in what seemed to be like a warehouse.

Suddenly the voice of Mint echoed from the walls of the room. They must of taken me to this... this... what is this place? Suddenly I heard the voice of another pony who wasn't Snare. Mint came into sight followed by another unicorn. That unicorn had a stern face with a bushy black mustache.

"Peppermint is this the human that you and Snare found out in the badlands?" he questioned with a non impressed glare at me. Peppermint must be her full name, now who is this guy their boss? Peppermint nodded in response to her 'friend's' question. He looked me over from head to toe multiple times. "I suppose it will do, I wish we had the three that had escaped back. However at least the two of you were not killed by these beasts" he exclaimed looking at me with disgust.

"Auction how is Snare do you know?" Peppermint asked with a mixture of curiosity and worry on her face. Light if you would like to speak to me right now it would be grateful!

"Don't worry Peppermint, Snare is okay. The nurse said he was lucky that it was his wing and not his neck that the human grabbed a hold of. You can visit him later today, he is currently resting from the long day" Auction replied with a slightly warm smile. "Now come on we need to check on the other warehouse" he said as he turned to leave. Peppermint looked to me for a second before following him out of the warehouse.

"So do tell how will you bring Thomas's memories back, huh?" the beast questioned as Light began pushing the orange light closer together slowly. "Oh and I also want to know what's your plan to free the pathetic excuse for humans on this world?" it spoke again in a venomous tone.

"I'll find a way, may it come to teleporting to another world or freeing them through a mass revolution for independence. I'll find a way what ever it is" Light said as the orange light formed an orb.

The creature grew a sinister smirk and quickly came up with an idea. "Well y-you could do the hard way or... y-you could end Thomas, take his body and f-free them with your powers. Cause you and me b-both know how powerful you are. You could no doubt kill anything t-that gets in your way, huh?" the creature informed stalking Light carefully as he tenses up.

"What's w-wrong, would you feel to guilty from killing T-thomas? No I doubt that, if you did k-kill him... it wouldn't be your first kill now would it?" it said right before it was hit with a blast of white energy to the heart.

"SILENCE CRIMSON NOW!" Light yelled with anger. Gaining a chuckle from Crimson.

"Oh, poor Light you and me both know that you can't harm me while I'm here Light. Also might I say, I missed the angry side of you, I really do" he said with a chuckle. He walked over to the orange org and barely tapped it with his melted finger. "I think I'll help you out for once" he said as the orb began to show images of a past memory. With that Crimson disappeared into the darkness.

Warehouse

I was trying to find a way out of the cage when I was hit with another memory. The memory was so horrid, I was strapped down to a metal table upwards in a seventy five degree angle. There was only one light coming from the swaying light bulb above me. I was in pain, so much pain.

Then they came in, the Germans with their canisters. One man out of all of them stuck out he was wearing a white, and had a devils smile. I remember exactly what he said to me. "Subject one hundredth n one, subjects name Wanedon Thomas" he said as one of his lackeys noted the information. "We will be knowing the effects of blue viral on you very soon " he said as he equipped a gasmask.

The other Germans then began opening the canisters spewing out a toxic blue gas. I tried to hold my breath for as long as I could but the gas wasn't dispersing and my eyes were burning from contact. Then I breathed in the gas which burned me from inside, causing my body to converge with intense motion. I felt blood run down my nose as my mind went numb and fell into darkness.

I remember him... Doctor Fredrick Schwartz.
I remember I was caught in the war and I remember every little type of war weapon he tested on me. For eight years I was there till the war ended with us as the winners.

As the memories faded away I found myself in what I conclude was where me and Light met when I sleep. However the mist wasn't suppose to be here and Light wasn't in view nor had he spoke out to me yet. Which then reminded me of what Light warned me about 'another being that entered my mine last time.

"Hello is anypony here?" a feminine voice inquired from within the mist, which raised my suspicion. "Hello anypony?" the voice inquired once more. I knew I shouldn't but I have to see.

"H-hello?" I replied which caused the mist to light up a dark blue flowed by the sound of the mystery pony taking a step.

"Thank goodness" she exclaimed followed by a sigh.

"Who are you?" I asked, peering deep into the mist that seemed to slowly become clearer.

"I'm Princess Luna and you?" she replied back followed by a few steps. I was about to respond when Light appeared from behind me. "You need to wake up Thomas" he whispered to me. I wanted to protest but however he was the only one I could trust in this world.

I closed my eyes and open them to the sight of the cage I was still in. "Now what did you get yourself into?" Light inquired. Long story but if you can magically get me out of here I'll tell you about it. "No need I already know of how you got into this mess. I guess I could free you from your cell. Please hold" Wait what? how are you going to get me out your just a voice in my head, from what I understand.

My body began to glow slowly till it went white to find myself up in the sky falling down to the surface.
