//-------------------------------------------------------// The Fall of Cloud -by Cloud_Piercer- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// The Lab //-------------------------------------------------------// The Lab     My story is not like other ponies, I didn't grow up on a farm or a magic school or a flying school. I didn't have parents, I didn't have a lot of things, when I was born it wasn't in a hospital no doctor no nurses. All I had was a tube it was a big glass tube that held some kind of thick blue goop. When I first awoke I wasn't ever sure I'd be let out of the tube, every day for weeks I would watch ponies walk in and out of the big white room surrounding my tube. But one morning I awoke to seven ponies surrounding my tube speaking "do you think this ones a dud?" Asked one of the ponies "they'd never fund this program if it doesn't work" he continued. I felt something burst though my body my brain not fully understanding what it was supposed to be doing. My hooves slammed on the glass creating a crack in the tube causing a rupture making the goo pour out, my body kept pounding on the glass till I felt my body slamming down on shards of glass. "Looks like it's not a dud huh" one pony said snickering "well he still has to be put through the tests, most make it that far." I could feel my legs grow tired as I was required to sprint on some sort of treadmill for six hours every day since I broke out of the tube. I was technically born eighteen days ago and I still hadn't seen what I looked like, I didn't know if I could speak, hell the one thing I did know is that I was an experiment created in this laboratory and I was being forced to run. I wasn't sure how I was a full grown stallion born but a few days ago but I tried to ignore it. Somehow I had full thoughts, I was able to comprehend things I knew some things that not even the scientists knew. One day I was being monitored by a mare, her name was NightShade she was a beautiful purple pegasus with a black and blue mane, she was a little bit of a klutz but not bad looking either. She was the  one who had to make sure I knew specific magical elements even though I was clearly a Pegasus, I couldn't speak so I had to write everything down using my teeth and a pencil. I hated it, for the life I was living they spoke as if I was the god they needed to stop some kind of war but I didn't care. Most of it is background noise that I hear, the only ponies I listen to are NightShade, and my health trainer BlueMint he was a grey unicorn with a blue and white mane. I finally tried to speak when I was reading and going over my spells in the room with the tube aka my bedroom. "C-ce" damn it I could barely even say the goddess's name. I suddenly thought of how I didn't have a name I was just subject eleven for five weeks of my life. I decided to give myself a name, I wasn't as dull as some of these scientists expected me to be. I always looked up through my skylight in the center of my room wishing I could touch the clouds with my wings. So I named myself "Cloud Piercer" it ran so smoothly across my tongue I didn't even realize I said anything. I knew I could speak now I stayed up all night practicing saying as many words as I could remember even the vulgar words. It shouldn't have been so easy for me to say "fuck" but I did it the first try, I couldn't wait to wake up the next morning and go speak to NightShade for once, I didn't want anyone else to know I could speak so I had to hold in my ability to speak from BlueMint don't get me wrong he's a nice stallion just not somepony I'd want to converse with on a personal level. I showed up to my session with NightShade as she sat down in the chair across from me and noticed that I didn't have my pad and pencil for once. "Where are your things?" She asked in the most polite way I've ever heard anypony speak to another the whole time I've been here. "I- I don't think I'll be needing it anymore" I said, it wasn't the best English but it was still pretty good for never speaking. "You, uh I I'm not supposed to teach you how to speak  till we finish writing" she said nervously pacing through her notes "well I've been practicing speaking since last night." I say adding to her disbelief "umm, I" she starts "hang on a second" I cut her off hopefully not being to harsh "I think you're a very beautiful mare." She blushed trying to hide her muzzle in her forehooves "you're just saying that you don't even know what it means yet" she tried to be sincere considering we hadn't finished going over adjectives yet. But I did know "I'm being honest I knew so much when I came out of that tube I feel like all of this is a little unnecessary." I state proudly "you- you really mean that? You think I'm beautiful" she asks shaking in her knees. "Why would I lie, I have no reason too, you haven't betrayed me in any way, right?" I ask "no I haven't" she says as I walk around to the other side of the table wrapping my forehooves around her in a embrace. I probably shouldn't have done it but so what, she's the first pony I actually care about in this prison. //-------------------------------------------------------// NightShade //-------------------------------------------------------// NightShade   "Incredible, he figured out a solution" I heard as I woke in and out of my slumber "I told you he could do it BlueMint" it was NightShade's voice she was talking as if I was a saint sent from the goddess above. I blacked out again, only to wake up with NightShade  coming into the room, the tube opened up and I collapsed coughing on the floor. "Oh my, are you alright" she asked nervously "no, for starters why the hell did y'all do that?" I asked demandingly "I-I'm sorry I didn't want you to be hurt, but you passed the second test." She said " oh well I guess that makes it all better now doesn't it?" I started yelling at her, her eyes were looking about the room trying to find something else to talk about. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that" I said "it's fine just I don't like it when you yell at me" she says "could I make it up to you anyway I really didn't want to yell at you." I say as I stare at the floor "well you could" she paused "I shouldn't say" I looked at her in awe as she blushed I could only imagine what she was thinking, a smile came across my face as I thought of my idea. "Okay I guess we're both full grown ponies here" she paused again "do you think you could k-" I stopped her before she could finish putting my muzzle to hers. Her face was turning bright red as she pulled away "thank Celestia" she muttered under her breath. "What?" I ask "I-I wanted you to do that since the day I met you" she responded "I'm sorry NightShade, I wanted to do that for a long time as well." I said happily "I should get going, unless I can stay at the lab tonight I have a lot of work I need to get done." She said "I don't mind if you stay, wait it's night?" I ask "yes, I've been checking in on you every three hours" she said "I guess I'll see you in the morning, do you think it'd be ok if I could fly around the compound?" I ask "well I won't tell anypony if you fly if you don't tell anypony about how... you know."  She says "I cross my heart and hope to die" putting my forehoof over my breast. "Good" she says as she walks out of my room, butterflies filled my stomach as I imagined how far I could take this thing, whatever it was that I had with NightShade. I walked into the lab room seeing a bunch of books and papers stacked up on the ground next to another tube. "Hello, NightShade?" I didn't see her anywhere  I heard something whistling from behind me, I dove over the stacks of books getting cover. Was this another test? Was She playing with my head? What was this thing getting shot at me? " oh my Celestia, is that you eleven?" I heard her say a tad muffled "yes who do you think it is we're the only ones here." I shouted back stepping out of my hiding place as she dropped a dart gun to the floor falling out of her muzzle "I'm so sorry" she said "it's fine, but why did you call me eleven?" I asked "well that's your name, isn't it?" She asked looking confused "uhh, no it's not I mean, that's what I'm called but I made a name for myself" I said "well?" She replied "what is it?" She asked "oh I call myself Cloud Piercer" I realized I never told anypony about my new name. "Well nice to finally make your acquaintance Cloud" the way she said my name was almost pleasurable "I know this might be kinda a stretch but do you have any way to see yourself because I still haven't yet" I tell her "really?" She asks "come with me" she says walking out of the lab as I follow her catching a glimpse of her cutie mark books and paper of course, I smiled at the sight of her ass. We walked into a staff mares room I swallowed hard as I walked in, not feeling like I should've been there I walked up to a silver section in a wall, peering back at me was a white stallion with wings and a red and black mane who didn't have a cutie mark. I stood there for what felt like hours staring into my blue eyes "are you ok?" I heard NightShade say as I snap out of my trance. "Hmm, oh yeah I'm fine just never seen my own muzzle before" I said as I stared into her big green eyes her charcoal mane drifting down her back. I had so many thoughts about her that night in the span of these three hours "goddess you're beautiful, I know I say that a lot but it's true." She leaned against me my heart pounding in my throat, I blushed as she stared up at me with her delicate eyes. She knew what she was doing to me I wrapped one wing around her, we did things that Night, unspeakable things but none the less we did them, when I got back to my room I stood in my bathroom staring at the wall were I saw myself, only there was no silver window. //-------------------------------------------------------// Troubles //-------------------------------------------------------// Troubles   I woke up this morning to a loud crash and a scream coming from outside my room. I ran as fast as I could to the screaming of NightShade, I made it into the room, were she was laying on the floor with a bookcase on top of her. "Oh good morning Cloud, uhh could you help me" she asked sorrowfully "yeah, what happened" I said as I lifted the bookcase up enough for her to slide out from under it. "I'm kinda a klutz, fault to my own stupidity" she exclaimed "you're not stupid in the least" I said "you're just saying that because you think things have to be different between us now." She replied "I honestly don't think anything is different between us other than the fact that we're kind of a thing" I stated proudly "yeah, well it's against all protocol for the harvest... at least I think it is" she said "what's the harvest" I asked "the harvest is this company that does experiments like the experiment that you are is the PFL program composed of the AST and POD program, the AST Program, is where we take a ponies mind and blend it all together so they are like you, they know things when they first get out. But they don't have any memories, we just put that brain in a body we genetically created with the POD Program that's how you got here." She explained "so wait, why am I here, was I just created for the ability to be created, if so then why the tests and why the learning?" I asked "well you were originally created to be one of the first biological soldiers to be able to withstand specific problems that no other ponies could survive in." She explained "so I'm a soldier, am I going into a war?" I asked nervously "no you're the only successful bio soldier we've gotten so far so you will be a undercover assassin... a black ops program created by the harvest, that's why we did so many tests and everything." I didn't like thinking about all the tests "one question, are you" I paused for a moment "a test?" I didn't want to ask it but I had too "what makes you think that?" She asked "well for one thing I've known you almost all my life and we sorta, hmmm oh I don't know" I paused "oh yeah that's what it was we had sex" I yelled the last part I'll admit I felt like a asshole but I didn't want to chase something that was just a ploy. "No cloud I-I'm not a test, but I can stop working here any time you want if you really feel that way" she yelled but was crying at the same time I held her in my forehooves "I-I'm so sorry, I love you" I whispered in her ear she looked up at me, again with those big green eyes "ask yourself something, do you really love me, or is this just a test?" She snickered at me "I do though" I say pulling my muzzle closer to hers. I heard a door open and I quickly pulled away from her loosing all my comfort "hey what the hell are you doing in here number eleven?" A grey stallion with a blue and white mane walked in it was BlueMint "I was just" he cut me off "I don't wanna hear it ya gotta take a flying test now, so get your ass down to the track room, I'll see you there" he said as he walked away. "Looks like I have to go" I said sadly "hey I'll see you again tonight, right?" She asked "definitely" I say as she pecked me on the check "now you've got a test to go do, I know you'll do great" she said "thanks, I love you I'll see you tonight" I said " love you too" she replies as I leave the room and meet BlueMint by the track room "alright what new task am I supposed to be doing today, sir" I ask sounding like a jackass in my own mind "you have to go around the whole track without getting cut anywhere on your body" he says as I start laughing "that's like the easiest thing to ever do, especially while flying" I say "good because you haven't seen what we're gonna make ya go through yet" he says as he presses a button with his forehoof. As a wall of barbed wire shot up from the ground surrounding the track, spikes popped up in the floorboards so if I fall I get impaled by big ass spikes and then I most likely die. "Oh shit" I say "yeah, that's the reaction most of the other ones had when they got this far" replies BlueMint "I have a question BlueMint, what do you know about NightShade?" I ask "well what do ya mean?" He didn't understand "I-I like her" I say "of course ya do, I mean just the way y'all act around each other I wouldn't be surprised if ya said ya fucked her." I swallowed hard at the thought of anyone finding out about it "so is she like, a slut" I really shouldn't have been asking these questions about another pony that I loved and held close to me. "Well I wouldn't say that, she's fucked about as many ponies as any other mare, maybe even less I only know one stallion other than you whose had sex with her." He said "wait how'd you know?" I asked him "well we have cameras everywhere and they're always on, and a mare and a stallion don't just go into a bathroom for five hours and do nothin'." He made a good point but that raises a question "does anypony else know?" I asked nervously "calm the fuck down kid, it's ok there's no rule about it, the head of harvest feels that whatever anypony does with another pony isn't any of his business, so you're gonna be fine." I let out a breath I'd been holding "oh thank Celestia." I exclaimed "yeah, so are you gonna do the test or not?" //-------------------------------------------------------// Flying Test //-------------------------------------------------------// Flying Test   I reared my head toward the barbed wire wall in front of me "alright five" came BlueMint's voice from a speaker "four, three, two, one" a loud buzzer went off and the razor wire started to drift side to side. I new I had to move but I was dead in my tracks "the buzzer is your indication to move ya know?" Came BlueMints voice out of a speaker I was jolted with fear and I'm supposed to be this big hot shot super soldier, no some sort of assassin, but I didn't do anything how could I be a total badass when I look fear in the face and don't do anything? "I ask too many questions that my own mind can't answer " I didn't realize that I had spoke, I slowly rose up into the air. I started to fly through dodging the first two walls of barbed wire the next wall was....painful I slammed into it at nearly full speed my feathers flew off as I went clean through the wall. I hated everything, at that very moment I was cut up, I failed my test, I was in pain, and I was gonna get shot by turrets if I didn't pay attention to were I was going. Which is just what happened I was soaring through the air and I felt a sharp stinging in my left back leg. "Fuck" I yelled as I started falling out of the air, I passed out and woke up with pains going throughout all of my body. My back had hurt the worst I slowly looked at my body a metal spike next to my chest and one clean through my back leg I was bleeding out. I tried to stand but my leg wouldn't let me "BLUEMINT!!" I yelled at the top of my lungs "I'm right behind ya" he said as I turned around "well can you help me out of this?" I asked "not till ya tell me how you pulled off that witchcraft." I looked at him confused "what?" I asked as NighShade burst through the door "are you okay I came as quick as I could" she was panting I assume she ran "uhh yeah I'm fine, what happened to me?" I asked staring at NighShade as she started to weep "well" BlueMint started "ya burst through that wall covered in barbed wire then the turret got ya a couple times in the leg, course there's no bullets in your leg... I assume they got pushed out by this spike here" he said tapping my leg. I winced "and well somehow ya got a spike through your head and you're still with us, so I wanna know how you did that first, before I answer anymore questions." I looked at him in astonishment "wait my" I swallowed hard "m-my head... was impaled" I started to raise my hooves to my muzzle making sure I was all together, sure enough I was drenched in my own blood, I threw up next to BlueMints hooves and fell into it seeing only black. I awoke in my tube again this was becoming a bad habit, I stumbled out onto the floor there was a mirror in the middle of the room this time. I stared at the blood soaked pony that'd once been me, my leg was bandaged and I had another bandage on my ass. I wanted to vomit again but I had nothing to give, I fell back on my haunches hurting my ass even more. "Hello there number eleven" I turned my head and saw the grey stallion I had only seen when I fist awoke "uhh, hello" I wasn't sure  how to respond with my head spinning "you are remarkable, much better than we'd ever hoped you'd be." I wasn't sure what he was talking about "what happened to me" I asked the old stallion "you have been remarkable" again with that word "what the hell does that even mean?" I yelled "you are the first pony we've ever created to be able to regenerate cell tissue" I didn't want to think, my head was throbbing. "Wait a second, sir am- am I invincible?" I asked trying not to sound stupid "oh heavens no, my dear boy" he patted me on the back "then how am I here?" I asked "well that's quite simple you fell your head was impaled on a spike and you regenerated." Oh goddess now this was making me sound like some sorta super hero "how?" I couldn't think of anything else to ask him "ah yes, well you remember that blue goop you were incased in?" He asked "how could I forget it" I was nearly drowning in it when I first woke up. "That is what made you the way you are, the treadmills you were running weren't even on half the time, that bookcase that you lifted off my daughter was almost two tons." I interrupted him "wait your daughter!!" I said shocked and scared at the same time, I wanted to vomit again "yes I know, I know you're shocked that she's my daughter and I haven't already socked you for sleeping with her." I snickered at him "there wasn't much sleeping" I burst out laughing hitting my forehoof on the ground. "Are you finished" he demanded interrupting my amusement "yes I-I'm sorry, please continue" I was truly sorry for what I did even if it was funny "she has been monitoring you and keeping you in check as well as BlueMint." I thought came to mind "so, was she a test too?" I didn't want to upset him anymore than I had "no just a monitor for you and your antics" I heard him mutter something under his breath "still you've made a impression on everyone working in the compound." He said "damn it how am I still here?" I yelled at him again "the cells were restored by the blue jelly in your tube I answered this already." I thought for a moment "oh yes I-I'm sorry I forgot" I apologized "she's in the lab waiting for you" he said as he walked out the door "uhh, sir I never got your name" he turned back and looked at me "all you need to know is that I'm the CEO of the Harvest." //-------------------------------------------------------// Answers //-------------------------------------------------------// Answers I burst into the lab looking for someone to answer my newest questions. "Cloud, baby" I heard NightShade yell as I turned to see her, she jumped on me tackling me and pinning my to the ground. "What're you doing?" I asked the mare holding my hooves to the floor "well you said you'd see me after you passed your test and, well that was yesterday and I've been aching to see you." She said leaning in close kissing me, I stopped her "wait a second, I'm still covered in blood... why didn't anypony wash me?" I needed a shower badly "well I offered but they didn't want me" she paused and swallowed hard "touching you while you were asleep." Oh Celestia I needed a shower, but it felt a little better  being with NightShade, once again she leaned in and continued to kiss me. We did things on the floor of the lab room I was very surprised that the blood didn't bother her, especially when she was licking her... juices off of me. She wasn't that nervous klutz I thought she was at all, sweet Celestia I love that mare. "I love what's happening right now but,  I need a shower, badly" I said staring at the mare laying on my chest "mmhm" she muttered. I tried to move out from under her without disturbing her and her attempts to get sleep, I stood up and went into the bathroom across the hall. Being clean felt so much better than being covered in, well blood and pony juices even though getting the latter was fun, being clean felt so nice. I walked back into the lab were NightShade was resting, I pulled her over me back and carried her to the tube in the corner. I started sifting through the paperwork strewn throughout the desks looking for something to help me understand the AST and POD programs. I didn't find anything on those but I did find the previous experiments one through nine on file as well as my own. What surprised me is how most of the other experiments died in the flight test, actually what really surprised me was that there was no test subject ten. The only ones still alive on record were six, three, and nine most of these ponies files described they're specific traits and it appears that I have a little bit of everything from the past ones. Super strength from subject three, intelligence from subject eight, quick wit from subject six. "Guess I am the best one" I muttered, I walked out of the lab and ran into BlueMint both of us falling to the ground in a rather... awkward position. My muzzle was touching his... taint and vise versa, I jumped off him as fast as I could "I-I'm sorry." I said feeling awkward "it's uhh it's ok" he said blushing "umm, I have a question?" I stared at the red faced stallion. "Ok, shoot" he said a little shaken "what where the POD and AST programs?" I asked, my heart still pounding in my head. "Well the AST program was designed to make a pony stronger mentally and make them forget specific things like bad memories, basically it was used to cure mentally insane ponies." He paused "and the POD program was made to help out ponies with missing appendages horns, legs, hooves, wings all that shit." He said "so I was a combination of some of the previous experiments brains and bodies?" I asked "well the brains yes but your body was created in a fake womb, then it was taken and put into the tube full of the goop so it wouldn't rot then we put the brain into it and voila you were created." He said as he walked away "hey babe" I turned and saw NightShade "uhh you didn't see what happened, did you?" I asked nervously "what you and BlueMint suckin' each other dry" my mouth gaped open as she started laughing "I'm kidding I know it was a accident" I just stared at her for a while, then I found my voice "I like mares and stallions." I hadn't realized what I had said at first "uhh I mean" NightShade interrupted me "I knew it" she yelled "what?" I asked nervously "your brain has been made up of stallion and mare brain cells so a lot of your opinions are mixed because of your mare and stallion brain." I couldn't understand "but I haven't found a stallion that I like" I said "so how could I like stallions, I love you." I tried to be sincere, but my head said that I liked those few seconds before when me and BlueMint were in that position I kept thinking about those seconds and I began to be.... aroused. "Who are you thinking about?" I heard NightShade ask staring at my... length "oh shit" I yelled and backed up into the lab door covering myself with my wings. She started laughing at me "that was cute, not like I haven't seen your cock before" she said sarcastically "r-right" I said. "You never answered my question" she said wanting a answer "oh yeah uhh I-I was" I sighed "thinking about that moment when me and BlueMint were in that position." I said with sadness in my voice "but I don't have feelings for him" I lied "really, cuz I think you do if you're that big" she said, ok now I was feeling embarrassed "I don't know if I do or not, but I know I love you" she leaned in and whispered in my ear "well if you ever want, we can ask him to join" my heart fluttered and I turned bright red. "Awe baby, you do want that huh?" I wasn't ashamed about it "I'll be honest if you're up for it then" she interrupted me again "I'm down for anything if it's with you" I grabbed her with my wings and kissed her. I used my tongue and her eyes widened, we continued to kiss as we backed into the lab as she fell on top of me. She started kissing me and we did things for the second time that day, I was so happy that I had a mare who thought the same as me. Over the sound system came "subject eleven please come to the track room, repeating subject eleven to the track room." I gave the sleeping mare a peck and left to the track room. //-------------------------------------------------------// Experiments //-------------------------------------------------------// Experiments I walked into the track room feeling nervous as to what would come at me. "Hey Cloud" I turned and saw BlueMint staring into my eyes, I started shaking like a school mare. "How did you know my name?" I realized I only ever told NightShade "well, NightShade told me and the other scientists." It occurred to me that I only ever saw NightShade, BlueMint, and NightShade's father. "Hey BlueMint?" I asked "what?" He replied "why did you call me here?" I was getting confused "well ya remember earlier, I was wondering if ya li-" I cut him off "yes" I yelled, I felt one half of me wanting to facehoof and the other half to embrace him. "I didn't finish" he said "I-I'm sorry please continue" I said blushing "we'll do ya like me the way ya like NightShade." He did it he actually did it "uuuhhhh" I paused and breathed out "yes, at least a half of me does, if you don't feel the same I under-" he pulled me in and kissed me, in those few seconds I knew I wanted what NightShade had spoken of before "I need to go now" I said running out of the track room. I ran into some scientist I never seen and he dropped all his papers "watch were you're going number eleven." He snapped at me "I-I'm sorry but I must be going" I said trotting away "NightShade" I yelled opening the door to the lab. She ran up to me "so, how was it?" She asked "wait you knew?" I asked "well of course I did, after what happened earlier with you and BlueMint in the hallway, so what'd he do did he kiss ya or did he try somethin' ohh I wanna know." She was looking at me as if I had the answer to life "uhh... he kissed me, but I still love you more I just developed something." "Awe my little Cloudy's got himself a big strong  stallion" she started laughing I wanted to choke her, and not in the fun way "stop it, I don't know how I'm supposed to feel right now, I'd love to take you up on that offer you made earlier, but I also don't want you two touching each other sexually, I love you and I don't want to cheat on you or anything even if you do give me permission to fuck a stallion, I also like having BlueMint as a friend and I love having you to myself." I didn't have anymore to say "well, that's very sweet and I'll be honest I wasn't all for the three way thing myself I just wanted to make you hap-" I kissed her I didn't need to hear anymore. I felt unclean having BlueMint kiss me like that, he's good looking and he's gay why is it always the gay stallions who are hot. Sweet Celestia what was I thinking I had too many thoughts going through my head a part of me wanted NightShade, the part that I felt I belonged in changed after being face to, well cock with BlueMint a part developed I was suffering. I trudged into my room locking the door and thinking in my tube for a while till I fell asleep. I woke up in the morning the voices in my head finally stopped fighting and settled on NightShade, sorry BlueMint I walked to my door trying to open it breaking the lock "damn" I huffed. Oh well doors are overrated there was a piece of paper outside on the door to the lab "Cloudy if you need me I'll be discussing the research on the PFL subject with the head of harvest." I found myself reading aloud "I need a drink" I said pressing my hoof on the intercom. A mare came from down the hallway "follow me this way" she said "do I get my whiskey?" I asked, she said nothing, so I followed the blue and grey mare "in here please" she pointed to a big empty white room. I entered wondering if this was another test the door sealed closed behind me with a hiss. "Ok number eleven" I heard a mare through the white speakers on the walks "I prefer Cloud actually" I yelled. "Ok then... Could, we have some tests for you today" she said over the speaker "damn it" I yelled "haven't I already proven how invincible and all out badass I am." I yelled "you're first test is to get freed before the time is up" big red numbers  appeared on the back wall. "Ready?" The voice asked "as I'll ever be" I murmured as a cage fell around me "begin" the voice boomed "this is easy" I said lifting up the cage and sliding under it "now test two, begin" the cage came down again and I rolled passed it's shadow nearly loosing my tail. "You've made it too easy" I yelled that was a mistake "test three" the floor opened up into a vast array of nothingness except for the section I was standing on "ah shit" I looked up and saw the cage about to fall over my head. I tried to lift this one but it was bolted to the floor I wasn't sure how to get out of this my body told me to break the bars but my mind said lift off the ceiling and climb out. "Fuck it" I said breaking the bars and flying through "anything else?" I said sarcastically "test four, begin"  I was floating, not flying but floating the floor panels had turned into fans and were blowing me into a giant cage that took up most of the rooms ceiling. "Damn" I heard myself say the bars came in around me and a floor came from the sides of the bottom bars, the fans shut off and I was dangling in a bird cage. "Well shit" I said, the timer was on two minutes to get out of the cage when it was at two hours originally, I tried squeezing through the bars but I just wouldn't fit. The only way I would get out of here was if I could rock the cage to the ground I started running back and forth between the bars swinging the cage, sixty nine seconds left. I heard the chain on the cage break as I started falling out of the sky hitting the top of the cage as it spun down. It crashed and I woke with a bar across my leg and my back on the bottom section of the cage. I didn't want to get up so I laid there, I should've gotten up, I could've moved the bar easily but I just did nothing even when the scientist came in with BlueMint and NightShade "hey guys" I just stared at them "uhh Cloud are y'all right?" Asked BlueMint "oh yeah I feel fine, why?" I asked "well you just haven't moved the bar off you" said NightShade "uh huh" I replied "so what's the problem, if you knew I could get out easily why'd you guys come in here?" I felt like I was asking too many questions again "well it's cuz we care about ya" BlueMint said "well I guess I'll go be alone with my thoughts elsewhere." I said moving the bar and getting up, I kissed NightShade and BlueMint they both looked shocked as I walked out the door. //-------------------------------------------------------// Leaving //-------------------------------------------------------// Leaving I didn't feel right, everything felt empty in my head all my thoughts just left, the fall must've set me straight, or gay I did just kiss BlueMint. "Oh my fucking Celestia" I ran back into the testing chamber where BlueMint and NightShade were talking "oh my Celestia, guys I'm sorry I don't have any thoughts in my head right now and I just feel confused." I rambled "Cloudy it's ok" NightShade assured me "yeah I'm not sayin I didn't enjoy what ya just did to me there, but I know ya must'a hit your head pretty hard so it's ok." Said BlueMint, my friends both had feelings for me and vise versa and I didn't want to hurt both of them, but BlueMint understood. These tests might be making me go crazy but at least I'll have had some friends. I woke up this morning feeling like shit, maybe it was the cage falling on me or something else. Ponies in hazmat suits were in my room observing me, everything I did they wrote it down, got up to use the bathroom they took a urine sample, if I coughed they'd swab my muzzle, if I got aroused they'd take a semen sample, I finally started to feel like a actual test subject. My friends weren't aloud in my room, I wanted to see them, I wanted to hold them. I coughed up blood right onto a hazmat pony "quarantine" one of them yelled holding down the mare with blood on her suit. They cleaned the blood off the suit and rushed her out of the room I passed out. I awoke, what happened to me, there was nopony in my room and I felt amazing, I had no idea what happened to me other than the fact that I was sick. I ran out of my room "hello anypony around?" I yelled "Cloud get back into your tube before you contaminate more ponies" I heard come out of a speaker. What the fuck had I even done? Where was everypony? what happened after I blacked out? "Cloud this is your last warning, get back into your tube we can't kill you but we can kill my daughter and I am not afraid to pull the trigger." They had NightShade, probably BlueMint too "ok I'll play your game" I yelled as I walked back into my tube. "He's in gas the tubes." I heard muffled through the speakers as a grey fog started filling my tube. "Fuck" was the last thing I said before dying, I woke up again and threw up in a bucket placed by my tube. "Cloudy!" I heard coming from my doorway "good morning" I said turning to NightShade. "My dreams were so fuckin' weird" my head was spinning "uhh was one about my dad keeping me and willing to kill me if you didn't get back in your tube" she spoke with angst "uh yeah how'd ya-" she cut me off "you talk in your sleep" that wasn't the answer I was expecting, I thought it'd be oh that wasn't a dream but I guess not. "We've been celebrating for the past few days while you were out" the hell does that mean "uhh why?" I asked curiously "well" she paused "one of the mares in the harvest should be dead on account of your blood, but she's just fine." She exclaimed "I have a small question, was that bug I got a controlled sickness, like specifically for studies?" My head was filling full of questions "yes, so sorry about that by the way I didn't want you to get treated like that, but it was all because of my dumbass of a father." She said "but I do believe you'll like the next test we have" she stated "all these damn tests when will it stop NightShade." I yelled "why would the mare have died because of my blood?" I shouted "well" she sighed "we found trace amounts of acid in your blood, not enough to kill you or anypony else, but it might just remove some hair off your coat." She muttered something but I couldn't make it out, that was reassuring I'm running around getting cut to shit and I'm full of acid, what else could go wrong. "What's this test?" I asked "you get to learn your weapons" NightShade replied cheerfully. "There's more than dart guns, turrets, and knives oh joy" I rolled my eyes I had only ever been shot by those. "Attention all staff would you please report to the mess hall for a meeting, all testing for today has been cleared" came over the speaker in the corner of my ceiling. "Does that include me?" I asked NightShade "I don't think so, but ya never know." Damn, the one test I actually wanted to learn a bit about was the one that was canceled. Me and NightShade walked down the hallway toward the mess hall to see what all the ruckus was about. There was a pony standing at the front of the room "you" he said pointing his forehoof at me "you get your test for today, don't you feel special, follow me." NightShade gave me a peck on the muzzle as she walked into the mess hall  "are you going to be teaching me this?" I asked the blue pony with the black mane, he was buff I wanted him "fuck" I hadn't realized I yelled, two ponies stared at me as we walked by them "I didn't think me teaching you would be such a big issue." He stated "I-I'm sorry I just had some... thoughts" I stammered looking at the table of weapons in the center of the shooting gallery "you are gonna learn all the weapons we have in the compound, and you'll be testing them" his voice was deep booming as he spoke. I felt like I was being yelled at by a drill Sargent, a green glow enveloped the knife that laid before me on the table I watched as it opened and pointed toward me. I jumped back "let's see what you can do mister I can't die" he snickered "what am I supposed to do?" I was lost "grab the knife" he said questioningly, I reached out my wing felling the cold steel against my feathers. "That's how ya hold a knife?" He asked "hey I haven't ever held a knife before." A alarm sounded before I could figure out what way I was supposed to hold this badass lookin knife. "Ah damn it" he said "what is it" I asked "it's your first mission, grab those two pistols from the table and meet me down by the entrance. I grabbed one of them in my muzzle shoving it into the saddlebag and shoving the other on the second side of the bag on the table, I also put the knife in and threw the bag over my back. I met the unicorn at the door "here take these it might help you better" he said hovering three vials of who knows what into my bag. I didn't know what was going to come next as I ran out into the hallway. "Alright you're going to be stationed here, and this is your target" the stallion said levitating a map and photo into my bag. "Where am I going exactly?" I asked "well you're going to Las Pegasus, not that far from here only four hundred miles... get goin." The white door to the outside of the compound opened slowly "Cloud wait" I heard somepony yell from behind me "wha-" NightShade grabbed me and kissed me "had to do that before you left." She said "what was the meeting about?" I asked "it was about your first target, word is he's taken over a casino in the center of Las Pegasus, they want you to take him and everypony associated with him down in three days." This might have been the last time I'd ever see those gorgeous green eyes. "Did Gunslinger debrief you good enough?" She asked staring at the stallion in the doorway "yeah I think so" I said not fully sure if I was ready to leave or not. I pulled her into my muzzle once more and held her, I shed a few tears walking out of the white doorway into the blinding sun. The door had closed with a clang, I was outside the compound. //-------------------------------------------------------// Las Pegasus //-------------------------------------------------------// Las Pegasus The building I exited from had in big red letters said "Harvest Technologies" it had a symbol in the middle that looked like two crescents over top of each other as well as a single crescent  facing the dual crescent there was a sphere and a rectangle on top of it and another below it. The grass was green and the ground was soft, I had never seen anything so beautiful as the meadow I was standing in. I fell into the ground and rolled in the grass till it was dark. I should've been flying to Las Pegasus but I didn't care, I loved the night, I got up covered in green smears and started flying. It was morning by the time I got to Las Pegasus, I wasn't sure where to go or what to do, the city was full of vibrance, nothing like the compound at all, I walked into a small hotel "do you have any rooms?" I asked the mare at the counter "yes we do, how long do you plan on staying with us?" The mare asked "only" I paused, I wasn't sure how long I had to kill my target. "Four days" I said "alright that will be forty seven bits." She said cheerfully I forced my wing into my bag trying to reach my bits without pulling out my weapons, I managed to pull them out spilling them onto the floor. "Damn" I muttered as the unicorn levitated the coins off the ground and into a box on the counter. "Here's your key" she said hovering a key into my bag "thank you, I never used saddlebags before." I said staring down "that's ok you're room 201 on the second floor, the stairs are right around that corner." She said pointing a hoof toward the hallway, I walked down the hall digging the key from my bag I opened the door and gasped. I never seen any room other than the white cells with tubes I was living in. There was a dresser with a mirror on it, my face had green stripes going across it. I laughed at myself and my foolishness there was a bed in the center of my room. I immediately thought of what I would do to NightShade on it, I set my bags at the foot of the bed and closed the door. I opened up the bag dumping the contents onto the bed, I tried to grab the guns with my hooves which actually worked better than using my wings. I stared over the vials Gunslinger shoved into my bag "take this first" was written on the vial full of purple liquid. "LSD" was written on the blue one and "after mission" was written on the green one. So like the vials said I took the first one in my hoof and swallowed down the purple liquid. My head filled with pressure and my sides began to burn I started to cry, I was weeping on the floor. My wings started to ache and my feathers started falling off, my forehead ached, slowly something started protruding out of it. I passed out on the bed and woke up two hours later, except I didn't feel like myself I starred down at were my wings used to be. There was feathers strewn about the room I got up and ran to the mirror seeing a white stallion with blue eyes, red and black mane, and... a horn.  I screamed "is everything alright in there sir?" I heard come through the other side of the door "uhh yes everything is just fine." I replied as I walked back toward my bed trying to get one of my guns to levitate it was enveloped in a red glow. The silver pistol with the black tube on the end of it had gone off. It was quiet, thank Celestia. I grabbed my journal and started flipping through it to find the spells I had written in it. I tried again and this time I was able to lift the gun, it vanished. I wasn't sure what I did but then I realized I teleported it somewhere. "What in the name of Celestia is this" I heard somepony yell in the room next door to me. I ran through the door and started pounding my hooves on the door next to my room "hello" I yelled trying to get the mares attention. The door opened up, the handle surrounded in a pink glow "yes, I do believe this is yours." I heard the mare say as my pistol levitated into the hallway "wait, don't put it in the hallway" I screamed smacking the gun back into the room. "Ugh, fine come here" the pink glow surrounded me as I was pulled into the room. A mare with a light blue mane and blue coat was staring me dead in the face. "Are you a spy, sent to destroy the great and powerful Trixie" she said "the great and powerful what?" She groaned "me the great and powerful Trixie!" Her voice boomed as she pointed the gun toward me "I'm not here to kill you, but I am here to kill somepony." I stated "well who is that?" She asked "ugh, damn it I don't have time for this" I said wrapping Trixie in a red glow and pinning her to the ground. "I like where this is going" she smirked "no I-it's not like that, I already have somepony." I stammered "so you're saying you don't want the great and powerful pu-" I stopped her "I just met you!" I yelled "okay so why the gun?" She asked "you're not aloud to know, I'd actually have to kill you." I said as my red glow enveloped my gun, I put it into my saddle bag. "I'm very sorry but I have to go" I walked out of the room kicking the door closed behind me. I walked past my room and down the stairs leaving the hotel. A blue puff of smoke appeared in front of me when I was three yards from the door. "Wait!" Trixie yelled, she was wearing a hat and cape as well as saddlebags "what do you want?" I asked "I would like to know what's going on, but since I cannot I gue-"I interrupted her "do you want me to have to kill you, because I won't think twice about it." I said "well if you're here to kill a celebrity you've certainly found your mare." She said happily "what the hell is wrong with you?" I asked "I the great and powerful Trixie fear nothing" she paused for a moment "so, could I come with you?" She asked clearing her throat "NO!" I yelled at her "please I need to be better than Twilight Sparkle at something." She said sadly "fine but if you get killed it's not my fault, unless I pull the trigger." //-------------------------------------------------------// Failure //-------------------------------------------------------// Failure Trixie pulled the map away from me "hey" I yelled "I know where this is" she said "really?" I asked "of course I do, I'm not dull, plus I have a performance there tonight." All I had to go on was a blurry photo of some stallion with a black mane and a brown coat. "Do you know who this is?" I asked levitating the photo out of my bag and showing to her. "Oh my Celestia!" She shouted "that's Filthy Rich only the most known stallion in all of Equestria, how do you not know him?" She asked "well looks like Mr. Rich is gonna have to get a bullet to his head, as well as anypony close to him." I said putting the photo back in my bag "NO!, you will do no such thing as long as I have anything to say about it." Trixie yelled "this again" I said wrapping her in a red glow and holding her body still. "Listen to me, he's a bad pony, I've read his files... do I need to show you what him and his workers have been doing, or do I have to kill a show pony?" I said angrily "I-I don't want to kill anypony I don't have too, I'm just doing my job, understand?" I let go of her "I believe I understand, but why Filthy Rich?" She asked "he's been putting drugs with his shipments of apple jam from sweet apple acres." I said "well that's no reason to go kill somepony" she said "apparently my company thinks it is, I'm just the one who kills." She stared at me "what?" I asked "you don't look like the kind of pony who would kill somepony else." She said "well I have to kill this Filthy Rich so if you want to leave, I won't stop yo-" she kissed me. I shoved her back "why did you-" "I'm so sorry I did that, I just never met somepony who also tried or has killed another pony like myself." She said quickly "you've killed somepony?" I asked "I tried to destroy twilight Sparkle and her friends once." She said "who?" I asked "do you really not know the princess of friendship or whatever the hell she's calling herself nowadays." She said "no, I was created eleven months ago" I said "I mean-" "You were created, what does that mean?" she asked "you like interrupting me don't you" I said "what do you mean created" she said her voice raising. " I was created in a lab and awoke eleven months ago, created to kill other ponies, created to be almost indestructible "I never got your name." Trixie said "oh, yeah it's Cloud, sorry I forgot to tell you" I said "well Cloud, like I said I don't want you to kill Filthy Rich, so" I couldn't move "you're going to follow me and my command from now on until Filthy Rich leaves Las Pegasus." She said as she made me walk beside her back into the hotel "you'll stay here in my room, you aren't allowed to leave, anyway I'm going to the show." She said walking out the door, I fell asleep while standing but awoke laying down. She was on top of me, her tongue was in my muzzle I flipped her on her back and held her down. I couldn't control anything I was doing, I thought of NightShade the whole time except Trixie was blue and... tighter, the worst part I think another part of my brain developed feelings for her. She finally passed out, I slipped out of her and went back to my room. "What the fuck is wrong with you Cloud, you can't just go around fucking everypony in sight." I yelled as I kicked my side table, I must've missed my opportunity to kill my target. I was tired and drained mentally and physically, I laid down into my bed not even taking a shower to get the juices off myself. "Good morning Cloud" I heard as it woke me up I jumped out of my bed "holy shit, Trixie" I yelled my heart beating in my chest. "I had fun last night" she said "well I didn't, at least I don't think I did." I said glaring at her "yeah that's partly the reason I'm here" she said backing me into the wall. My body wanted her again, it yearned for her body "damn it, I have somepony but I need this." I said pulling her in, our tongues combined as we fell to the floor I wasn't thinking about NightShade this time, we both were in control this time. I needed to go back to the compound I needed to get another assignment, but I didn't want to part from Trixie "I'm sorry, I have to go back home now" I said picking up my bag. "Cloudy, I love you" she said turning to me "no" I murmured "what?" She asked looking confused "NO!" I yelled "don't fucking call me that" I cried out "you just make me think of her, my somepony NightShade... why did I fuck you" I yelled slamming my head on the wall "hey it's ok, she's dead already." She said "wait, what the fuck does that mean, did you kill her!" I yelled "no, but I did my job." She said full of pride, my horn glowed as she started choking "what- are you doing" she managed to say before falling unconscious. I opened my bag and grabbed the potion that I was suppose to take after I took down the target and chugged it down. My sides burned worse than before as my wings reformed. "You'll never save them all in time" muttered Trixie "I loved you, and I still do but if you hate me after you see what me and Filthy Rich have done, you can kill me." She said trying to stand, tears flowed from my eyes as my feathers came back and my horn disintegrated into a powder on the floor. I grabbed my bag and flew out the skylight, raining down glass on the near unconscious mare that I had feelings for. "I'm sorry" I said looking back at the hotel, I cut my time in half from when I first arrived at Las Pegasus. The compound looked fine from the outside but once I got in, it was horror. //-------------------------------------------------------// Clone //-------------------------------------------------------// Clone I burst into the compound "NightShade, BlueMint, anypony?" I yelled. I heard coughing "C-Cloudy" oh shit, oh shit, "NightShade where are you" I yelled "they've filled the compound with nerve gas." She yelled I ran into every room, there was a blue tail sticking out from under a tube in the third room, fuck BlueMint must've ran into the tube and got crushed. I started crying, all my friends are going to die and it's all my fault. I started coughing as I ran into the laboratory "C-Cloudy I'm cold" NightShade was laying on the floor with rebar in her side "what happened" I asked "we thought it was a earthquake but then the nerve gas came in down the halls, save her please." She said "save who?" I asked "your clone, she's in the tube, take her with you." She said slowly "why not you." I asked weeping softly "I'm already dead, Cloud just take her damn it." She boomed, I kissed her one last time before hearing an eruption and seeing a fireball coming down the hall. The eyes of the pony in the tube opened and she started pounding on the glass "she has part of your brain and part of mine." NightShade said "so, like our child?" I asked "not even close, she loves you the way I love you, you'll be fine just take number twelve with you." The tube broke open and the black red and white pony fell on the floor, she was just a pony no wings no horn. I lifted the mare over my back as the building started coming down around us. I set the mare next to NightShade and stood over them ready to take the building. I was crushed NightShade seemed unharmed, but I couldn't see number twelve. I couldn't move everything hurt I felt rubble being pulled off of me "ow what the fuck!" I heard somepony yell, the rubble rolled off my back and I winced. "Hey, is NightShade ok" I asked trying to stand, I heard the mare crying "s-she's dead." The mare went up to NightShade and kissed her "what the fuck are you doing!" I yelled "hey asshole she's mine too alright." The mare turned and yelled at me, her mane was curly "Cloud?" She said looking at me "y-yeah?" I said as she ran up to me. She kissed me and tackled me to the ground "wait, wait" I yelled "awe come on, I'm horny right now... please." She said "you're my clone, NightShade just died and you are horny" I said slowly "well so are you"she said "I am not horny... wait." I said "see I knew you were, we have the same thoughts and memories and emotions, just I love you the way NightShade did." She said, tears flowed down my face "but that doesn't matter, you're not NightShade" I said "well don't think about it as sex, think about it like... well ya know, the thing you do with your wing." I wanted to hit myself, but she was right "you're damn right I'm right" she said "wait, you knew what I was thinking?" I said "haven't you been paying attention, you get aroused I get aroused, you feel pain I feel pain, and vice versa" she said "I'm gonna hate this for sure, every time I get aroused... shit." Said upsettingly "yeah so, wanna fuck?" She asked "I JUST TOLD YOU NO" I yelled "yeah, but you and I both know that no doesn't mean no, especially when it comes to sex." She said "true but NightShade did just die, could we bury her first, please." I asked "damn I hate it when I'm right, let's just hurry" She said. Three hours later NightShade was buried in front of the fallen remains of Harvest Technologies. "Now that that's over with, let's fuck" my clone said jumping on top of me ramming her tongue down my muzzle. "Wait, Snow Piercer could we get a place to sleep for tonight at least before we do anything." I asked "you called me Snow Piercer" she said "I thought it was fitting." I said "you know what's really fitting" I interrupted her "no, don't you make that joke" I said as she burst out with laughter. "It's almost like you don't even want to pound me, but I know you do just look at you, you're throbbing." She said "wait what" I said looking down as she started laughing again "I'm just fuckin with ya, well not really but ya know what I mean" she said "come on you crazy mare." I said putting her over my back as we took off into the air "why am I on top of you?" She asked "stop with the sex jokes, please." She's too much like me I need to hit her on the head or something so she doesn't know what I'm constantly thinking. "You will do no such thing, I'll try to stop listening if I can but it's hard to do" she said. We made it back to Las Pegasus, we went back to the hotel room that I'd been staying in. "Cloud? Are you still here" oh shit it was Trixie, the door of my room opened up "I waited for you to come back I just knew you would." Trixie said as I scowled at her "hmph well if you're going to be that way I-" Snow Piercer pushed her back into the room and fell on top of her kissing her. I shouldn't have been watching what was happening, but in all honesty I liked it. I shut the door behind me and fell on the bed as the two mares in the middle of the room went to town. I tried to sleep but I felt everything Snow Piercer felt "Cloud" I heard Snow Piercer say "I know you want in on this" she was right, I got off the bed and started at them both. I did join them, I knew it was wrong considering Trixie had betrayed me and my clone was almost the same as me. I didn't want those feelings to stop but toward three in the morning I asked Trixie to leave, she didn't listen, she slept of the floor. I woke up with my head on the bed and my wing somewhere inside Snow Piercer. This was my life now, my ability to be an assassin gone, my special somepony was gone, I didn't have bits and I was hungry. "That was fun" I heard Snow Piercer say as she pulled herself off my wing "Cloud we need food" she said. "Ya think so" I muttered standing up and heading to the bathroom, I turned on the shower and stood in it for what felt like forever. The curtain opened up "hiya Cloud" Trixie said as I hit my head on the soap rack. "I'm trying to shower here" I said "yeah well me and Snow Piercer need showers too, so you'll just have to share" she said "no I'm not ready for anymore sex right now." I said as Trixie stepped into the shower "neither am I, you go too fast sometimes" I couldn't believe what I just heard "yeah well I can" Snow Piercer said entering the bathroom. "It hurts and you don't get that, do ya" she said staring me in the face "well I have your feelings, but no I don't feel that, maybe because I don't have a fucking vagina." My voice raised "I'm sorry I just don't know how to feel anything right now, who should I love? NightShade is gone, thanks Trixie by the way and you're pretty much the same as me except you're a mare." I stepped out of the shower and laid on the bed trying to get sleep. //-------------------------------------------------------// Return //-------------------------------------------------------// Return I finally woke up it was three in the afternoon, I felt full Snow Piercer must've eaten something, or died. She was a crazy mare "don't call me crazy plus I just took a nap, I still haven't eaten yet" she said shifting the bed. "Where's Trixie?" I asked "she went next door, she's supposed to be getting me some potion so I can have wings, you don't know what it's like, I feel naked." I raised a eyebrow at her "ok more naked, I guess" she said "you know something?" She said "what?" I asked "you get almost every mare you meet dont ya" she said, I smirked "I'm sorry if that's a problem for you, I can stop trying to fuck everything in sight if you want." I said "well I'm not gonna judge you, I get glares from stallions all the time now, I think most ponies think we're related." She said "really?" I asked "I mean from the way they looked at me, we fuck and they think we're brother and sister." Well that's fuckin weird "ha, fuckin, weird" she said "stop that, please" I said "hey I can't control myself, it's your thoughts" she said. "I also know you want to kiss me right now and do naughty things to me" she said "damn I hate it when you're right." I said "so, can we try-" she interrupted me "hell yes" she yelled. I pounded on the wall "Trixie, can you come in here for a moment" I yelled, Trixie burst into the room with her saddlebag "yes, what do you need?" I walked up to her and whispered in her ear "I need some rope, some gags, and some whips of you got em." "The great and powerful Trixie has everything" she said dumping out the contents of her bag. "Is that hair dye?" Snow Piercer asked "yes, why?" Replied Trixie "well I'm tired of Cloud and me looking like siblings." She said "I can understand that, you to being... whatever it is you two are" said Trixie. "My boner is aching right now" I said as I burst out laughing "well I think I'm going to go, you kids have fun." Trixie said leaving the room shutting the door behind her, I kissed Snow Piercer and put the gag on her, thank Celestia Trixie was into kinky shit. Probably the best part about this clone was the feeling, I felt everything she did, so the pleasure was doubled, biting her ear, filling her, kissing her, I felt it all, she was tighter than Trixie... but better than her in bed. I even learned a few things about myself because of her, for one thing I didn't know I liked spankings. Trixie had come back in the room while Snow Piercer was showering, she had the potion with her it was blue orange and green. "This should give her wings" Trixie said "I'm still upset with you" I said "I know" Trixie said kissing me, I pulled away "awe come on, please" why do all the mares wanna fuck me? I'm not sure Cloud I'm trying to take a shower right now. Shit forgot about my thoughts, that's fine just stop thinking "this is fucking weird" I said "what" Trixie asked "speaking to Snow Piercer with my thoughts." I said "do you really have a boner right now" I heard Snow Piercer yell from the bathroom. "Just fuck her if it's that bad, can feel it growing" she yelled "stop talking please" I yelled back "well get it in check" she yelled back. Trixie pushed me back on the bed and sucked me dry "holy Celestia" I heard Snow Piercer yell. "I didn't know I came when you did Cloud." She yelled, the air felt awkward, I got up and walked out of the room. "Excuse me, are you Cloud Piercer?" A mare asked me as I entered the hallway "yes I am, why?" I asked "you have a uh... visitor, follow me" she said. I walked with her down the stairs, there was a purple mare with a black and blue mane covered in mud standing at the counter. "Cloudy" she yelled and ran up to me "N-NightShade" I fell over on to floor and everything went black. "I think he's fucked to many mares" Trixie said as I awoke "I have not" I murmured "shit he's awake" Trixie said as I sat up. "So NightShade you're back, how?" I asked "I never told anypony but... I was subject ten" she said, I gasped "but you have a cutie mark" I said "it's fake." She said "of course it is that ass is too nice to have anything on it" said Snow Piercer "the only ponies I've ever kissed in one room, except for BlueMint." I said "yeah, yeah we know and we've all kissed each other while you were sleeping" said Snow Piercer "yeah it was super hot, you missed out" said NightShade. They all started laughing as I tried to cover up myself with my blanket. "Ohh he's erect" said Snow Piercer "I fucking hate that you feel everything I do." I said as NightShade climbed onto the bed "I bet ya missed me" she said kissing me. "I don't know how to feel right now, I love all three of you but I can't have all three of you." I said "awe you love me" said Snow Piercer "who says you can't have all three of us?" Said Trixie "well you're never in one place for too long, so you're kinda out of the picture" I said "and NightShade just came back into the picture and I've known her the longest, even though I've had Snow Piercer here for a while she loves everything I love, plus when we do things to each other we both feel it." Trixie stomped out of the room and Snow Piercer followed her "well now that we're alone can we finally have some fun" she said as I pulled her in and kissed her, I finally got the ability to fuck her on a bed. I felt what was happening with Trixie and Snow Piercer in the other room. I finally had my special somepony back and me her and Snow Piercer would never die. She was my number one even if she was the harvests number ten. //-------------------------------------------------------// Harvest //-------------------------------------------------------// Harvest This was my life now, sex, sex and more sex. I was getting sick of it, I needed to do something, it was my last day I could stay at this hotel. I needed bits "hey Cloudy, you have your job still." NightShade said "wait what?" I asked "I didn't want to tell you this but... you're in a simulation, the Harvest is still around, you never fucked Trixie, you failed your assignment and we've kept you in stasis for some time now." She said "no that's not true, it's too real, the feeling it's all too real, the sex, Snow Piercer, your death. It's all fake?" I said "well no  Snow Piercer is real we put her in this to see what you would do with her, and I'm not a fan." She said softly "well I'm sorry, you died and Trixie betrayed me and-" she kissed me, everything felt fake to me now "how do I get out of this?" I asked "you must die" she said "alright then, where's my bag?" I asked "well one of us will have to stay in the simulation, it won't work and if you kill yourself." She said "wait, you're saying I'll loose you in the real world?" I asked "yes, if I kill you I can't leave." She said "hahaha, you clearly don't know what I can do." I said walking over to my bag on the floor "here take this" I said sliding the gun to her "now shoot me on the count of three, alright." I said getting out my second gun and putting it into my wing "I love you" I said "three, two, one" I yelled pulling the trigger, she did the same. She fell to the floor with a thud, her body started fading away, she had missed my head. My neck was burning from the bullet, I started coughing and fell to the floor. Trixie burst into the room "oh shit, Cloud" she yelled "stay with me please" she said hitting my muzzle with her hooves. I felt cold, dying hurt, my blood was burning off parts of my coat "T-Trixie" I muttered, I coughed "finish it, for me... please." I asked "never you will stay with me forever" she said as her eyes turned red and her horn glowed, my neck started shifting. I hit her with my hoof, she fell to the floor and started crying "I loved you" she said, ramming her horn into my neck creating another hole in my throat. She kissed me and all I heard before seeing black was "you betrayed me." I woke up in the sick bay of the compound covered in blood, what had I done. "NightShade, BlueMint, Snow Piercer, anypony!" I yelled getting up off the bed, a mirror hung on the wall above a counter with medical equipment on it, there was a eyeball on the counter it was blue and... mine. I stared at the pony in the mirror with a bandage over my eye, I pulled off the bloody bandage blood was pouring out of my eye socket. My lip quivered in horror as white filled the hole, I ran out if the sick bay "holy fuck, holy fuck, holy fu-" I tripped on something. "Ow Cloud what the hell is your pro... CLOUD" Snow Piercer jumped on me "oh I'm so happy your alive." She said squeezing me "hang on a second, where is everypony?" I asked "well NightShade, I love that mare is in the lab working with a few other mares to see what went wrong with the simulation." She said "and it's nice to finally meet you muzzle to muzzle" she added "what do you-" I suddenly remembered the simulation. "Oh yeah, the simulation was fun wasn't it" she said "wait so you're saying you actually can feel and think what I do?" I asked "yep" she said, she shoved her tongue down my throat "that's much better than the simulated one." She said "wonder what else is better" she added "ah shit" I shoved her off me and started walking down the hallway. "So where are we goin, and why are you covered in blood?" She asked "I am going to find NightShade to figure out why the fuck my eye is on the table in the sick bay." I said "oh that's a easy one I can tell you that" she said "when we all got back to the real world none of us could see, good thing we all regenerate right." She chuckled "cause if not we'd all be dead right now... so when can we fuck?" She asked "is that all you think about?" I asked "well you think about it a lot I'm just the one who acknowledges it." She said "plus I'm not the one with the hulking boner right now" she said moving my tail with her hoof. She pushed me back into my room "where's my tube?" I asked "they took them out for beds, better for sex" she said "are you drunk?" I asked. "Yeah, a little why?" She said "I think it's nap time for the lightweight" I said chuckling "what the hell does that even mean?" she asked "it means" I grabbed my gun from my bag, and shot her four times. Causing my own head, hoof, and back leg to burn "good night" I said dropping the gun to the floor, I stepped around the insane pony laying on my floor and went into the laboratory. "Cloud you're back!" NightShade yelled jumping on me "why did both of you-" she kissed me ramming her tongue down my throat. This felt repetitive "what happened with the simulation?" I asked getting up off the floor. "Trixie was not programmed into the software, sorry to kill your boner but she was never supposed to be in this simulation." She said "why am I covered in blood?" I asked "you had an accident... you killed five ponies while you were coming out of stasis, you were screaming about how you couldn't see and you killed everypony in the room." //-------------------------------------------------------// Dreams //-------------------------------------------------------// Dreams "What happened?" I asked NightShade "well like I said you killed five ponies, including me... I never thought I'd see you the way you were, but of course nopony has ever killed five other ponies with his bare hooves." She said with tears forming in her eyes "dying hurt much more by you than by anypony else." She added "who died?" I asked "a few scientists, nopony we can't replace." She said "when was this?" I asked "six days ago" she said "who stopped me?" I asked "BlueMint shot you four times, you lost an eye, we had to remove the other one so you could see properly." She said "I'm tired, but I don't want to go back into my room, there's a crazy mare in there." I said "that's no way to talk about your new sex toy" she said staring across the hall into my room "and you killed her, good job" she added "I will be one hundred sixty eight percent honest here, she's kinda like a weird form of daughter and fuck buddy and clone thing, so I'm not sure how to feel about her." I said "she's not even close to being your daughter, other than your brain cells and that mental connection you two have, which we still aren't sure how works, plus most mares and their fathers don't have that kind of a connection." She said "speaking of fathers, how are you related to your father?" I asked "well he had to raise me because we didn't have the AST program figured out yet." She said "ya know something kinda weird that the scientists figured out?" She asked "uhh, sure" I said "your sperm is dead, but somehow you keep developing more." She said, I cleared my throat "so you're saying I can fuck as many mares as I want and won't have to deal with all the  fillies and colts?" I asked "you better not be fucking any mares other than me, but virtually yes" she replied "but some might be alive, so just don't be risky... I guess." She added "do you even know me, I'm like the king of risky, I don't think about my actions too much" I said "well just try not to die, because the only way that we can die is if our heads aren't on our bodies, so that's something to watch out for mister reckless" she said staring at me with her big green eyes. "I think I'm gonna get some sleep, ok?" I said "yeah sure, I'll be reading and trying to figure out what we can do with you and Snow Piercer now that you're both in existence." She said as I walked over to the bed. My dream made me feel drained, I was walking down the halls of the compound, everything in front of me was normal but everything behind me was decaying, the more I kept going the more the world was being destroyed I walked by BlueMint, NightShade, Snow Piercer, they all turned to dust right before my eyes. The concrete ground outside the compound turned to tar, the flowers and trees in the meadows turned into torches and burned away. It started raining, the rain turned into ash, my body started to burn. I heard screams but not from me, a mirror appeared in the middle of the meadow instead of having only one eye I had no eyes at all. My chest started aching, my wings started falling off again. I watched myself, no I felt myself shrivel away to nothing. "Cloud, hey Cloud, are you awake?" NightShades voice broke me out of my slumber "hmm, what?" I muttered "okay this is kinda a big deal, remember how I said there was a very  very slim chance that you could get somepony pregnant?" She said "fuck, are you" I paused "no, no I'm not, but the doctors were going over a routine check with Snow Piercer to make sure she's working okay, and well... they think that she might be." She said sounding disappointed "filly or colt?" I asked "well they haven't been able to figure out if she is pregnant or not." She said "wasn't the sex I had with her a simulation?" I asked "yes it was, that's why everypony is so confused right now." She said "hiya guys" BlueMint said walking in "so here's the father" he said eyeing me on the bed "hey that's not confirmed" I snapped at him "yeah well still, you two might wanna turn down the sex drive for a while, till we figure this out." He said "well there's no way I'm the father to anything right now, if I was I wouldn't be so pale I looked like a ghost, unlike BlueMint over there." I said pointing a hoof at him "y-ya think I'm the father, well everypony is a suspect, after all who knows what she could've been doing while ya were sleepin or while any of us stallions were sleepin, but... I-I did sleep with her, but only the one time, she's got that kind of charm Cloud does, and I figured I'd try it out with a mare, it's pretty good but I don't know if I'd do it again." He said quickly "AHA, I fuckin knew it, how could I be the father if I only had sex with her in a simulation." I said happily "well, ya did shoot her so maybe you don't have the kinda connection we thought y'all did" BlueMint said. "Ow fuck, what the hell is happening to me" I yelled throwing the covers off of me, my stomach started feeling like I got stabbed a assload of times. Blood was coming out of  the pores in my mid region, BlueMint ran off to find somepony who could help. My coat was drenched in crimson, some doctor pony came into the room, he hovered a scalpel across my stomach. The blade was cold and sterile, something got pulled out of me, but I passed out before I was able to see what it was. //-------------------------------------------------------// Colt //-------------------------------------------------------// Colt I woke up in a cold sweat "what the fuck" I yelled trying to catch my breath. "Finally, you're awake" said Snow Piercer "Congratulations you just gave birth" she said, I felt like crying. "We're trying to figure out what happened to get you pregnant" NightShade said walking into the room. "And we think we did, we found traces of alcohol in Snow Piercers blood, so we assume that since the two of you are connected there were two baby's the one inside Snow Piercer that died of alcohol poisoning but the one inside you that survived." She explained "where is it?" I asked "what do you mean, he's right there" NightShade said pointing a hoof toward the ground next to the bed. "I don't see anything" I said getting up off the bed "wait stop!" she yelled, I heard crying. I saw a small white foal with blue and black mane appeared before my forehoof "oh no" I said picking up the little colt. "I'm so sorry" I cried, tears started flowing from my eyes and Snow Piercers. The baby started laughing at me, I nuzzled him with my muzzle "he-he's a... what is he exactly?" I asked NightShade. "Well he has  part of a horn, at least that's what we think it is and he has wings for sure" she said "he's got your eyes and mane, NightShade." I said "yeah the color but he's got that cute curl at the top of his mane just like you." She said "Cloud you might wanna put Streak down now." NightShade said "why, he's my colt isn't he" I said "yes but he grows the way your body did, it took him three days to be born." She said "the hell does that mean?" I said, the baby started squirming "h-hell" fuck now NightShades gonna be pissed at me. "Look what you did Cloud, his first word isn't ma or pa it's fucking hell!" She yelled, Streak looked up at me almost as if to say you're fucked. "Well I'm sorry, Streak don't say that word till you're a big pony ok" I said looking down at the pony in my forehooves, he nodded "how long will it take for him to be our age?" I asked "well your body took thirteen days to be fully developed." She said as I put down the colt on the floor "what's this I hear about a baby!" NightShades father boomed entering the room. "It's subject thirteen, now lets leave these two to figure out their lives ok" Snow Piercer said trying to make NightShades father leave. "You" he pointed a hoof at me "it's your fault!" He yelled "actually it's Snow Piercers fault not mine, so don't just go accusing somepony of doing something before you even know what happened, asshole!" I yelled "what?" He asked seeming confused "this is why I said we should leave the two parents to their child, I was going to explain it all to you, ya faggot" Snow Piercer yelled at him. "I'll tell him you two watch over the baby" NightShade said walking out of the room with her father. "See look what you did Cloud" Snow Piercer yelled at me "what did I even do, you're the one going around fucking everypony." I said "actually that was you last time I checked, I only fucked BlueMint, who have you not stuck your dick into" she yelled "hey I've only stuck my dick in NightShade, you and Trixie were simulated." I screamed back "could y'all just shut the fuck up, you're giving me a headache" a voice said "Streak?" I asked looking for the foal "look up" the voice said, Streak was flying in the air. "I just want to be completely sure here, Cloud is my father and Snow Piercer and NightShade are my mother, right?" He asked "get the fuck on the ground right now mister" I yelled, he landed on the ground in front of me he was almost as fully grown. The protrusion in his head was gone "Snow Piercer is not your mother, got it" I said pushing a hoof into his chest. "So is it okay if I do this?" He said grabbing her and pulling her into his muzzle, I could feel it his tongue found a way inside her mouth. "No that is not okay" I yelled, my blood was boiling as I pulled her back from him. "Hey what the hell is your problem, she's not my mom so what's wrong?" He snapped at me "my problem is you, you don't just go kissing any mare you see" I said "I think you're jealous" he said, I grabbed his throat with my hooves and watched the life slowly leave his eyes. "Cloudy stop!" NightShade yelled she and Snow Piercer tried prying me off the near dead stallion. "Fuck it" I said letting go of him, why did I hate him? Was it really because I was jealous, no I couldn't have been jealous. "What the hell is your problem Cloud?" NightShade said, I walked back into my room not saying a word I screamed and threw my desk chair through the wall. I grabbed my saddlebag and walked to the armory, I grabbed whatever was on the table shoving gun parts and knives into my bags as well as those potions I used before, even the LSD. I walked back to the briefing chamber and grabbed as many files as I could and shoved them into my bag. BlueMint stared at me as I walked down the corridor to the exit door "hey cloud, were are ya goin?" He asked "I'm going out to get a drink ya wanna come?" I asked "aren't ya supposed to stay in the compound?" He said as I pushed the door open and a alarm started to sound "if it's all the same with ya I think I'll stay here" he said as I walked out the door. //-------------------------------------------------------// Casino //-------------------------------------------------------// Casino Was it that dream I had that was making me angry, no it couldn't have been. Outside the compound was the exact same as the simulation I flew up and took the symbol off the sign kicking it down to the ground, I also tore it off my saddlebag leaving a white tear on my leather bag, I started my way to Las Pegasus. Cloud get your ass back to the compound, I heard Snow Piercer say in the back of my mind, no I won't go back there till I actually kill somepony that I'm supposed to. I made it to Las Pegasus and got the same room I had during the simulation. I wasn't fucking around this time, I tore off part of the pillowcase into the shape of a rugged black bandana and tied it around my muzzle. I guzzled down the purple liquid gaining my horn but not passing out this time. I put the bandana in my bag as well as my two pistols and started out of the door with my map floating in front of me. "We told you to get back to the compound" NightShade said landing in front of me in the middle of the street. "Hey asshole did ya hear me" she said following behind me "I heard you, I just don't like our son for some reason, so I'm not gonna come back to the compound." I said trying not to stare at her "that's idiotic, he loves you" she said "hah that's a great fuckin lie" I said. "Do you wanna get a few drinks? She said, I moved my head toward her "yeah, I would love that, but you can't" I said "why the hell not?" She asked, my horn glowed and a syringe injected her in the back of the neck. "You'll be paralyzed for about two hours, I'll see ya later" I said walking away, I turned back but she was gone. Maybe she was never there, maybe I didn't inject enough into her neck. I continued walking, I was going to kill Filthy Rich this time because there was no Trixie this time to stop me. The casino had a guard out front of it, I had to distract him somehow. There was a stand selling sweets across the way from the casino I floated one into the mouth of the sales pony and he started choking. "Oh my Celestia does anypony know cpr?" I screamed, and as I thought the guard came rushing over and started pounding his hooves on the stallion. The inside of the casino was too smokey for my taste, I could barely see my own hoof in front of my face. Cigars and ash trays littered the casino slot machines made noise, I walked up to the bar "I'm looking for Filthy Rich, have ya seen him?" I asked the bartender cleaning out some glasses. "He's in the back, private poker" he said setting down the glass "great, could I get a glass of whiskey?" I asked "hell no, we don't serve your kind, no blank flanks" he snapped. "Ugh fine" I levitated a knife out of my bag and slit his throat, maybe all the smoke was a good thing. I made myself a drink and chugged it down, I put a sign on the counter that said "on break" on it. I tied the bandana I made around my muzzle, one so I wouldn't be recognized by anypony, and two so I could breathe. I headed to the back of the casino, I saw Filthy rich walk past me into the bathroom. I could do this and not have anypony know, I followed him. He went into a stall, I stood out in front of the stall he entered with my pistol ready, the stall door opened and filled his muzzle with lead. It wasn't him, "fuck, I fucked this up damn it" I yelled slamming the stall door closed, I thought of another idea, I threw the stallions vest it on as well as the chip dispenser making sure I got off all the blood. I locked the bathroom door and headed down the hall "hello boys I'm your croupier for tonight" I said sitting down at the round table. "Hey what happened to the other guy?" Somepony said sounding Italian "he's on break" I said dealing out cards and chips. Beer bottles were littering the floor they all were blind drunk "hah straight" yelled the Italian pony "listen here mister I got a full house" said Filthy Rich as he pulled in all the chips "damn it" yelled the Italian. "I could kill you for that" the Italian yelled "now calm down your actin like a foal" Filthy Rich said as the Italian pulled out his pistol and tried to shoot Filthy Rich "huh ya gotta have better aim than that to kill me" "well I wasn't trying to kill you, I'm trying to kill him." He said levitating the gun in front of my face, he fired an missed my head by a mile "ah shit" he yelled as I pulled out my gun and shot him thrice in the neck. "Kill the bastard" Rich yelled as I hovered all the guns in the room toward him and his men. "That's gonna be pretty hard to do when I have the upper hoof" I said "alright what do ya want" he asked me "well, what do I want... I guess I want to not hate my son but ya know it's just one of those things all dads gotta do" I said filling the two poker ponies that hasn't said a word with lead. "Now what to do with you, maybe make it so you don't have children, or maybe have a few drinks with ya and become a crime lord like yourself... or maybe" I filled the fucker full of lead and heard a mare scream, the table lifted and Spoiled Milk ran out from under it. I grabbed her in a red glow "see I can't have you around because, heh well ya know" I started choking her and levitated my pistol into her muzzle. "Tell Filthy Rich I said good riddance" I said pulling the trigger, I removed the getup I was wearing and threw it down. I grabbed all the chips and shoved them in my saddlebags, I walked out of the casino and made it to my hotel, I drank the wing potion, NightShade wasn't with me nor was Snow Piercer so I had to "entertain" myself the old fashioned way, my wings felt so much more different than NightShade or Snow Piercer, night one alone without some other pony in my bed was actually very roomy. //-------------------------------------------------------// Questions //-------------------------------------------------------// Questions All I've been having since I left the compound is doubt and questions. Doubt that I'll ever kill all my targets. Doubt that I'll ever see NightShade or Snow Piercer or BlueMint ever again. Doubt that I can ever face my own son because I left him. Why did I leave in the first place? Maybe my life was troubling me. Maybe I wasn't ready for my role as a father. Maybe it was what I saw him do to Snow Piercer. He didn't care for her, he didn't know her, I said she wasn't his mother but I never told him if she was with somepony. Which she kind of was, BlueMint said he'd probably never fuck her again so that's not really a problem. But she did love me, but I just don't know anymore. It feels like she's messing with me, in all truth I haven't even known her more than a few weeks. I was in Canterlot now, I don't have I direct photo of my target but I have a  cutie mark, a single green emerald. "How the hell can you be selling playcolt in public, this store is sick!" I heard a blue and grey mare yell, I thought it was Trixie at first but it wasn't, she was right though, there are foals here. Parents don't want their foals to see pornography. I walked over to the stand the mare was at. "Well you think that this kind of thing would be illegal to sell in public, but I guess how else would they get it to those horny colts." I said staring at her "that's even worse, they need a stallion or a mare to buy it for them and they just go clopping away in their rooms never coming out." She said "true" I said "not to be a bit rude but how old are you?" She asked turning to me "twenty three, why?" I just said the first number that came to mind. "Well you don't have a cutie mark, and aren't you kind of old to not have one?" She said "yes, I don't have one but I won't ever be able to get one." I said as me and her started walking "oh really, and why is that?" She said "my body can't make one" I said trying not to sound suspicious. "You're funny, of course your body can make one, you just gotta figure out what you're good at." She said, her eyes were red but not with anger "why are you looking at me like that?" She said "hmm, oh just looking uhh... at your eyes." I said "they're really red" I said "ha you must be color blind, my eyes are violet" she said happily. "Oh, I'm Cloud Piercer" I said holding out my forehoof "Shoeshine" she said as we shook hooves. "I have to go right now but if you want we can talk later tonight, or if you have plans with anypony-" I interrupted her "I'd like that" I said "ok so how bout we meet up here at around sundown?" She asked "sounds good to me" I said as I heard a Pegasus scream from across the road "I gotta get goin to, that's my call" I said "wait, what call?" She asked "I-I'll tell you later" I yelled as I ran over to the screaming pony "what happened?" I asked. "That stallion just stole my bits" she said pointing a hoof toward a stallion in a cloak running into a ally. "I'll get it back, I promise" I said running after the stallion. I couldn't catch him, I didn't have my wings and he was flying in the air. I ran back to the mare feeling disappointed in myself. "did you get them?" She asked "no, but... here" I said levitating the chips I had stolen from the casino in Las Pegasus. "Oh you're so kind, thank you" she said taking them "I just wish I had my wings right now" I muttered "what was that?" She asked. "Oh nothing" I started to walk away and I saw Trixie, not simulation Trixie and not Shoeshine but actual Trixie. "Trixie!" I yelled waving my hoof in the air, she darted behind a few other ponies. I walked over to her "Trixie?" I said, she must not have remembered me, of course she didn't remember me it was a simulation. "Fuck!" I said trying not be to loud "what is it Cloud?" She said finally turning to me. "Wait, how the hell do you remember me?" I asked staring at her "I didn't honestly think you were real, being in a simulation and all." She said "wait, how did you know it was a simulation?" I asked "it's not like I the great and powerful Trixie dont have access to technology or anything." She said sarcastically "so... was it true, the simulation?" She asked staring at me "well no in reality I killed Filthy Rich and Spoiled Milk and you weren't there to stop me." I said "so you didn't get those orgies" she said bursting out with laughter. I sighed "as much as it pains me to say me and NightShade are in the middle of a thing, I don't like my son for some reason so I thought killing ponies would be a good way to ease my mind for a while so I could think." I said "so you're single right now?" She asked "uhh... I guess, but I am meeting up with somepony later at sundown" I said "damn, I wanted to see how close that simulation was to reality." She said eyeing me up and down "why does everypony in that simulation actually want to feel my real dick?" I asked "well it's probably because it was a simulated dick and I guess me and Snow Piercer don't actually know what it's like with you so, yeah." She said "trying to maintain something with somepony is really hard to do all things considering" I said "well if it doesn't work out with the mare you're meeting up with later, maybe we could, ya know." She said "and what if it does?" I asked "then we can fuck in secret" she said "I'll see you later I have a date with a sexy mare." I said "really?" She said raising a eyebrow at me "I guess I think everypony is sexy" I said "you'll fuck everything" she said as she started laughing "that's the plan" I said chuckling as I walked away. Damn it, I had a promise to NightShade that I wouldn't fuck everypony I saw but I've been out of the compound for almost a week now. I needed a mares touch, and I always have Trixie to fall back on if it doesn't work with Shoeshine. Blue mares are cute, all mares are cute actually. I just hope I can get something from anypony sometime soon. //-------------------------------------------------------// Cutie Mark //-------------------------------------------------------// Cutie Mark It's foggy outside, I'm standing before the restaurant Shoeshine said we'd meet out front of. I'm wearing a white collar with a red tie. "Here we go" I said walking up to the door, it was locked. "Hello" I yelled pounding on the door "hey, are you uhh Cloud Piercer?" Somepony said from behind me "uh yeah why?" I asked turning to see the stallion. "Follow me please" he said walking away "I kinda have a date in a minute" I said, he pinned me down in the middle of the road as more stallions surrounded me. "We hear you're one of them lab ponies, and you killed our employer Filthy Rich." The yellow stallion said still holding me down "so we figured we should make it so everypony knows that you're a science experiment." He said as a branding iron floated toward my flank, my body burned and I screamed. I threw the yellow unicorn off me and levitated the knife out of my saddlebag. My flank was bleeding, I stabbed the yellow unicorn in his side. The green Pegasus came charging at me, the knife went into his eye socket. He collapsed to the ground with a hearty thud, he had the emerald cutie mark. A blue and grey unicorn came at me, stabbing his horn into my leg. "You fucks I said I have a date" I said as the blue stallion towered over me, he was levitating a gun to my face. "I'm not sure how you can kill so many ponies but be so stupid enough as to talk when ya do it" he said, I heard the click of the trigger and rolled under him, hitting him with my hoof in his... lower region. He fell to the ground with a whimper, I pulled out my pistols and put two bullets in his head. The green and yellow ones got up, it was easy work since they were wounded. I pulled the knife out of the green ones eye and stabbed it into the yellow ones head. The green one started crying, I levitated the knife before his second eye and kicked it into it at full force with my forehoof. I lost that knife, I couldn't dig it back out of that poor stallions skull. He just kept screaming, I shot him right between his eyes. I dragged their lifeless bodies into an ally way and left them there. I needed to get washed of all this blood fast. I snuck around to the back of the restaurant were I washed myself in the kitchen sink. I peered through the door window and saw Shoeshine sitting at a table. I walked through the door "Hi Shoeshine" I said setting my bag by the table. "Well how do ya like that, I thought I was going to be stood up for a moment there" she said "so are ya hungry?" She asked "yeah I could eat a horse" I started laughing "well maybe later you can" she said eying me. I blushed "what's on your collar?" She asked, I looked down, there were three splotches of blood on my collar. "I-I got into some trouble" I said removing the collar "are you alright?" She asked sounding worried "oh yeah I'm fine" I said. "Oh my Celestia!" She yelled "you've got a cutie mark" she said pointing at my ass. Ponies stared at her as if she was a freak who never seen a cutie mark. I looked down, my flank was black "what is it?" I asked her, I couldn't make it out at first "it looks like an x and a crescent moon" she said. So that's what they meant by showing everypony I'm a experiment. It was the Harvest logo, I'm the only pony with a cutie mark on just one side of their ass. "I like it... but it's not on the other side" she said walking around me "yeah it's a brand not really a cutie mark" I said "was this involved in that fight you were talking about?" She asked "yes it is actually" I said as she sat down next to me "so... where'd you run off to earlier" she said "well my job is sorta to protect the good ponies from worse ponies." I said staring into her violet eyes "like a guard?" She asked "no nothing like that, I actually take care of the problems head on." I said "hello I'll be serving you tonight, what would you like for drinks" a unicorn came up to the table with a pad and pen floating in the air. "I'd like an Apple whiskey" I said hoping she wouldn't ask my age "and for you?" She said staring at Shoeshine "just cider please" she said. "All right I will be back with your drinks" the mare said walking away "what do you mean head on?" Shoeshine started back up "I mean... I take care of ponies, like the actual crooks, I have targets and locations and all that." I said "so you expect me to believe that you are a assassin?" She said "well it's the truth" I said "sure it is" she said rolling her eyes. I scowled at her "what?" She asked as I plopped my bag onto the table "take a look" I said "whys your bag torn?" She asked "I left a life behind" I said "I'm not sure if I want to look inside of this thing" she said "alright then, so how are you doing?" I asked "I'm doing alright aside from just learning I'm in the midst of an assassin" she emphasized assassin. The waiter came and brought us our drinks, I don't remember much after that aside from walking somewhere with Shoeshine. I woke up in a bed, my head was throbbing. This must've been Shoeshines house, or we broke into somepony's house, but she was next to me in the bed so I just had to assume we were at her house. I fell back asleep I awoke to Shoeshine speaking with simepony in the other room "I'm just not sure what to do I mean look at this stuff, he said he was a assassin but I didn't believe him." I heard her say "yeah well maybe it's a ploy to get with mares or something" I heard a voice say "well that's the thing Berry Punch I'm not sure it is, he didn't have a cutie mark, he had his burned into him before our date last night and he had blood on him." Shit now she knew and so did this Berry Punch. I walked out into the room rubbing my eyes with my forehoof "morning" I said sounding raspy. "Oh good morning Cloud" Shoeshine said "so you're this Cloud Piercer I've been hearing so much about" Berry Punch said walking around me. "Why's there blood on the inside of your leg?" She asked "what?" I asked "your foreleg has blood on it, or spaghetti" she stared up at me. "Like I said, assassin" Shoeshine said "I still find it hard to believe" Berry Punch said turning to Shoeshine. "Stab me" I said "what?" Berry Punch looked confused "I said stab me, there's a knife  in my bag on the counter over there" I said pointing a forehoof at my bag. "What will this prove?" She asked "I can't die, well I can but I'm a total badass when I do die" I said proudly "I'm not gonna fucking stab you are you insane?" She said "maybe I am" I said levitating the knife out of my bag "just watch" I said stabbing myself in the foreleg, Shoeshine threw up. "Oh my Celestia you're insane!" Berry Punch yelled "I said watch" I said pointing at my leg. It slowly healed before her eyes, she fell over and passed out. "Well now that that's cleared up" I said taking a seat at the table Shoeshine was at "I'm a bit lost as to what happened last night" I said as Shoeshine wiped her muzzle. "What do you think happened?" She said sarcastically "well aside from getting hammered, what happened." I chuckled "we came back to my place and we... well ya know" I feel like I've heard "well ya know" too many times. //-------------------------------------------------------// Celestia //-------------------------------------------------------// Celestia "I'm sorry Shoeshine but after what I've told you I have to kill you" I said staring at her as she laid on my chest. "No you don't" she said fluttering her eyes at me. "I wish that was the case but, I'm sorry" I said as the gun floated toward her head. "I haven't been honest with you... I know NightShade, and Snow Piercer, and BlueMint." She said "wait you've gotta be kidding" I started laughing, my gun fell to the floor with a thud "so is everypony I've kissed or fucked been working for The Harvest?" I asked getting out of the bed "well I wasn't entirely sure that you were subject eleven, at least not at first, but last week when I first found your weapons and all your files, it clicked in my brain." She said "then why are you here?" I asked "I've been stationed in Canterlot for almost three years now, monitoring and reporting as a normal everyday mare" she said. "Reporting what?" I asked "ya know simple things, changes in the royal guards, news on potions developed here that sorta thing." The front door burst open "Cloud, don't kill her!" It was Snow Piercer "I wasn't going too" I said "actually that was your first course of action." Shoeshine said gawking at me "how the hell did you find me?" I yelled. "Word has been spreading around Equestria about a crazed serial killer pony killing six ponies in Las Pegasus, and three in Canterlot so I just thought it sounded like your motif." Snow Piercer said "I've been looking for you for a long ass time" she continued "your son is getting huge as fuck. and he's tried to rape me a few times, so NightShade is actually giving you permission to kill your own son, ain't that great?" She said "how many times did he try too?" I asked "about twice, why?" She asked "was he successful?" I asked "oh my Celestia, why the fuck do you need this information!" She yelled "I'm sorry, I just haven't seen anypony from the compound in so long and I need to talk to you... but maybe rape isn't the best thing to talk about" I said as I started laughing. "Ya know I was saving myself for you but now I'm not sure" she said "what do you mean saving yourself?" I asked staring at her confused "I mean exactly what I said" she said. "Although you wouldn't know anything about it cause you lost your virginity about a week after you were created." She added "you're a virgin?" I asked "that's what I just said, unless you count the simulation" she said "but BlueMint slept with you, right?" I asked feeling stupid. "No, who told you this?" She asked "BlueMint did, why would he lie?" I said "hey, don't ask me about that you're the one who gave birth." She said "you're son bit me, it didn't feel like he was trying to rape me it felt more like he was gonna try and eat me, and not the fun way." She said "can't we tell somepony, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna are in Canterlot castle" Shoeshine chimed in. "I have a simple question for you, if you know NightShade why did we still fuck?" I asked turning to Shoeshine "wait are you and her a thing?" She asked shaking. "Sorta, why?" I asked "I-I'm scared of her, and I fucked her stallion" she fell to the floor and put her hooves over her head and started weeping. "Hey, it's alright we're kinda going through a patch" I said slowly "actually she still wants to come back to you, and I wanna fuck you too." Snow Piercer said "why do you all want this fine piece of stallion" I said hitting my flank. "I just wanna see if it's better than the simulation" she said "it's pretty good, but he could be better at it" Shoeshine said. I walked back into the bedroom and left them to talk, I didn't want to snoop but I couldn't help myself, they were talking about me. "How good is it?" Snow Piercer said "a bit above average, but he hasn't fucked too many mares yet, so he's reliable probably better than most of the other stallions" Shoeshine said, I felt proud yet disgusted at the same time. "Cloud, are you eavesdropping?" Snow Piercer turned to the door, I ran into the bed as the door opened fully "what?" I said. "We're going to Canterlot castle, do you want to come, I know your mission is to fuck every mare in all of Equestria." She said laughing "maybe you'll get to fuck the princess or princess's" she continued laughing. "Please stop" I said "okay, just come on" she said waving a hoof toward herself. The castle was huge, the floor had a long red carpet going up the staircase, the walls were pearl colored laced with gold and banners. A guard came down the stairs "Presenting your royal goddess, Princess Celestia" she was beautiful, her mane and tail were in constant motion. "Uhh Cloud, ya gotta bow" Shoeshine was bowing looking up at me. "Oh, right" I knelt down. "M-my goddess" I said "are you Cloud Piercer?" She said "y-yes, I am" I said "I've never seen you before, or your sister" she said looking at Snow Piercer "why does everypony get this wrong" I went up to Snow Piercer and kissed her "were not siblings" I said motioning my  forehooves. "Cloud!" Shoeshine yelled "what? It was just a kiss" I said staring at her "I understand you have given birth, to a stallion with wings and a horn is that correct?" Celestia said "yes I gave birth, a stallion giving birth have you ever heard of anything so absurd?" I asked her "if you want to understand the absurd you should go and see Zecora in Ponyville, I will send a message to my student to let her tell Zecora that you're coming." She said "thank you my goddess" I bowed and walked out the castle door. //-------------------------------------------------------// Ponyville //-------------------------------------------------------// Ponyville The train ride felt boring to me, Shoeshine had stayed in Canterlot out of fear of NightShade, which I still don't understand why she's scared of her. The train came to a stop "now arriving at Ponyville" came through the speaker "I hope this isn't a wild goose chase" I said to Snow Piercer as we walked off. "Hiya!" A pink earth pony yelled bouncing up to me "uhh h-hello?"  I said "are you Cloud" she asked, I hope this isn't the student Celestia spoke of. "Yeah, are you-" she stopped me "Pinkamena Diane Pie, but most ponies just call me Pinkie Pie" she said shaking my hoof vigorously. "What's that smell?" She asked as I sniffed the air "I don't smell anything." I said "it's you" she screamed "you smell like cupcakes" she said sniffing me "okay crazy" I said pushing her away "do you know where we can find Zecora?" Snow Piercer said "oh hi how are you I'm Pin-" she was interrupted "yeah yeah I got the introduction I was standing right here" Snow Piercer said. "And I can assure you that he does not smell like cupcakes he smells like sex... constantly" she said pushing a hoof into Pinkies breast. "Maybe cupcakes smell like sex then" Pinkie said snickering "can you please help us find Zecora?" I spoke up. "Oh she lives in the EverFree forest, follow me" the pink mare said bouncing through the streets. "All the ponies are very nice here" pinkie said "what is that?" I asked pointing a hoof toward a crystal building that towered over all the rest. "That's Twilights house" she said as a small purple dragon with green spikes came running out of it "Pinkie Pie, you're needed for a friendship mission" he said panting. "Awe, but I have to take these ponies to Zecoras" pinkie said "well you'll have to do it some other time." He said "I guess we should be going" I said turning toward the forest "no you can't" the dragon yelled, I turned around "why the hell not" I snapped at him. "Because there's timberwolves and all sorts of dangerous creatures in there" he replied "kid you're looking at one of the most dangerous creatures" I said floating my gun out and pointing it toward the little dragon. I started  walking toward the woods "Cloud, maybe we should've listened to that dragon" Snow Piercer whispered. "I don't need to listen to anypony about anything" I huffed. "You're gonna die one of these days, or get one of us killed" she said walking back to the dragon. I stopped at the edge of the forest "it's only some trees Cloud, get a grip" I whispered to myself as I walked into the brush. I felt like I was being constantly watched, my gun floated out in front of me. I swore I saw a tree move but when I looked back it was the same way as before. Night time fell quickly, I saw glowing emerald eyes all around me, something or someone was watching me. I saw light not far from where I was, the air felt thick as I floated my pistol out of my bag. Something jumped on me, it was big it growled at me, my gun flew from my grasp, I couldn't find it. The jaws of the creature were trying to bite off my muzzle, I was holding it back with my forehooves. It's eyes were glowing green, I forced the bottom jaw off the creature, it wasn't that hard. My horn glowed, I was trying to see the big black creature that tried to kill me. It was a giant wolf made of wood, probably a timberwolf. It clawed at me, my chest burned and felt wet. More of them came out of the darkness, I didn't know what to do, I turned and started running. "Shit, shit, shit" I yelled as one of them cut the back of my back leg, how could they be as fast as me? I'm supposed to be the best of anything in all of equestria. I felt something I never thought anypony could ever feel, my ass felt like it was bleeding, my tail was gone. I felt the blood rushing out of the wound, I turned almost falling over I turned my horn toward the wolves and impaled one of them. It burst into wood chips that went everywhere, the one who's jaw was missing jumped on me again my stomach ached as the wolf pressed its claws into it. It got drool on my muzzle, I hit it with my forehoof as hard as I could, knocking it's head clean off. It's claws were still in my gut, I managed to get it off me without hurting too much. The others must've ran off, the light was closer than before now. I limped to the giant tree, there were bottles dangling from the branches, there were giant masks out front of it, above the door hung a mask. The door opened "hello, you must be Cloud" it was a zebra she had gold covering her neck and left foreleg as well as gold hanging from her ears. "Welcome to my home" she said waving a hoof at me to enter "you know I'm very close to death" I said coughing some blood on her tree. "I can see that" she said as I fell to the floor of her hut, I blacked out. "Just as I thought, you are plagued" she said as I slowly awoke, I must've looked like a ghost. I was in a pool of my own blood, my tail was a stub at the end of my body "what'd you say?" I asked staring up at the zebra "you're cursed, but in your case it's no curse" I felt dizzy "drink this" she said setting a bottle near my muzzle. I grabbed it with my hoof and threw it back down my throat. I couldn't taste anything, my body was dehydrated. I started to feel better, what ever was in that potion was working. I was finally able to stand, my leg still burned as well as my chest. My stomach felt numb, my whole body was covered in thick sticky crimson. "So I'm cursed?" I managed to weasel out of my mouth "you are, for you see you have many curses upon yourself" she said pouring some potions into a cauldron in the middle of the room. "W-what exactly are they?" I asked "you call them gifts, at least I assume you do, one of the big ones is your ability to regenerate." She said "you have too many for me to fix any of them, I can try but I can't guarantee anything." She said pouring more potions into the caldron in the middle of the room. "So what exactly are my curses!" I yelled trying to gain my balance "you have quite a few, at least from what I can see" she said "see? Damned voodoo bullshit." I whispered "your scent, your regeneration, your speed, your strength, your.... no that cannot be right." She said holding my face in her hooves "what are you doing?" I asked "what did you mean by scent?" I added "be quit for a moment" she said walking around my body, examining me. "What kind of pony are you?" She asked "I'm a uhhh... experiment" I said clearing my throat "I mean aside from being a bad assassin, are you a good pony?" She asked "I don't know how to answer that" I replied "you can bring down all of Equestria by yourself but you don't know if you are good or bad?" she said angrily "I believe I'm good?" I said "what did you mean by scent?" I asked as she lifted a bottle and set it before me "drink" she said "damn" she added as I drank the potion. "It only made it stronger" she was looking at me lustfully "g-go out of my hut for a moment, please" she said turning her head from me. "Are you ok?" I asked "yes just leave for a moment" she said as I darted out the door, I figured I could look for my gun, my saddlebag was torn open. "Shit" I noticed I didn't have anything in my bag, no files, no knives, no potions, nothing. I tried to rummage around in the dark, I found one file but the contents of it were gone. My pistol reflected my horns glow, the trigger was bent I needed to to find the other one, one vial of LSD was next to it. I never took any of them, I figured I needed some heightened senses so I drank it. My sides started burning, my eyes felt glowing in the darkness all of the world was so much clearer, the burning didn't hurt my body anymore. I was hyperventilating, my heart felt like it was in overdrive "what the fuck is this shit?" I found myself yelling, suddenly everything was calm it was almost as if I could see through the trees and see all the broken vials and torn papers strewn about the pathway. My horn levitated all of the objects into my bag, wait my horn... but I had my wings. I lifted a hoof to my horn, it was longer... "what am I?" I found myself saying. I set my bag by Zecoras hut, I felt like flying now that my tail was back and I stopped feeling sore. I soared into the sky, I was already fast when running, flying, and thinking but now it was all faster. I flew toward the edge of the forest but ran into something, it was a cloud "heh Cloud on cloud action" I burst out laughing standing on top of the cloud. "Cloud!" I heard Zecora yell, I flew back to her hut almost flying right over it. "Oh no" she said at the sight of me "what?" I asked "just come inside now" she said turning. "This should work" she put a chain around my neck, I started coughing, my head started aching from the inside. "Your connection with the mare you're connected to should be broken" she said with a smile "also as long as you wear that chain you won't have your scent" she said "you never explained that." I said "yes, well your body emits a kind of pheromone that makes you attract mares and stallions" she paused "I hope you aren't taking those vials every day." She added "no I'm not, why?" I asked "those change your bone structure constantly, you could become paralyzed even with your regenerative abilities." She said "I believe I should be leaving" I said trying to back out of the hut "I suppose you should" I held the hole in my bag shut with my magic as I started to fly back to ponyville. //-------------------------------------------------------// Alicorns //-------------------------------------------------------// Alicorns "Cloud, what have you done?" I didn't see anypony say anything but I heard it, it sounded like NightShade, I started loosing my concentration and dove out of the sky. I landed in a tree, my horn was stuck in the bark, it felt broken. My bag hung from a branch below me, I pushed myself out of the wood. My eyes were watering, my horn was broke in two. I fell from the branch I was on and the chain around my neck snatched onto a loose branch. The whiplash must've killed me, the thing I remembered was hearing a loud snap "Cloud, what have you done?" That woke me, my eyes were stinging and my head was throbbing. My neck hurt and my muzzle was coated in crimson. I screamed in agony, the room I was in was bleak and white very much like my room at the compound, but this one had  medical equipment and paperwork all about. A yellow unicorn came into the room with a lab coat and glasses. "See I told you it was another alicorn" he said pointing a hoof at me. A purple alicorn entered the room behind him "thank you Dr. Horse" she said as he left the room. "Wow" she said looking at me "what?" I asked cocking my head "I've never heard of or seen a male alicorn before, it's completely unheard of... I'm Twilight Sparkle, the princess of friendship" she said holding her hoof out toward me. I shook it of course, I was in royal presence after all. "Cloud Piercer, prince of... uh" I scratched my head with my hoof. "I guess I'm not a prince of anything" I chuckled "why are you in a hospital?" She asked. "I honestly don't know how I got here" I said as she sat on the bed next to mine. "Well how about you tell me what happened to you first?" She said "I was thinking and flying at the same time and I crashed into a tree, my horn is broken... I think, and I pulled myself out of the tree and fell catching my chain on a branch, I believe I died." I said "wait where is my stuff?" I asked "your bag was ruined so we made you a new one with your cutie mark on the sides-" I interrupted her "you've gone through my things?" I asked "yes but we only a few vials and pieces of paper, why?" She said, fuck now I don't have any weapons "I would like to leave now." I said getting up from the bed "you can't go anywhere until Princess Celestia gets here" she yelled enveloping me in a purple glow. "Cloud, You're the newest alicorn?" Celestia said walking through the door, Princess Luna and Cadence where at her side. "Ah shit" I said, the glow faded away "wait you already know the alicorn?" Twilight said facing the goddess "yes, but the last time I saw him he was only a unicorn" she replied. "And that was three days ago" she added "okay, yes I was a unicorn a few days ago, but-" I told them my whole story everything from my creation to where I was now. "Why hath he not been banished to thy moon my sister?" Luna said staring up at her Celestia "he did not become evil, but I fear his son is not his son at all." Celestia said "yeah, Zecora didn't tell me much about anything other than the fact that I was cursed, she broke a few curses too, or tried to at least." I said "I still don't know if her techniques worked" I added. "So... what I'm hearing is that there's no new alicorn?" Twilight said "well a alicorn with two horns has never happened before" I said as I let out a chuckle. "Your humor is not amusing" Luna stated boldly "you are to be beheaded for your crimes against Equestria." Celestia stated "I understand why you would say that Chrysalis." A second Celestia walked into the room with two guards at her side. "What the fuck is going on here?" I yelled throwing my forelegs around the room. Luna, Cadence, and Twilight turned into pony sized black bugs. They had holes in their legs as well as horns and wings. The Celestia standing in the middle of the room shifted into a bigger more grotesque version of the bugs. The guards charged at the small ones with spears. One of the bugs got thrown through the window, one bit into my neck. I screamed and kicked it as hard as I could with my foreleg, it turned into green paste that fell to the floor with a plop. The third one turned into something that resembled me and slammed me out of the bed. The guards went and made a half circle around Chrysalis. Celestia blasted a bolt of white light into the center of Chrysalis's face. "She's weak" Celestia said as Chrysalis's body was enveloped in white and teleported away. I pinned the copy to the floor and started pounding my hoofs onto its muzzle, green goop started coming from the cuts in its face. I shut my eyes "Cloudy... stop, you're hurting me" the fucker had turned into NightShade. "Gah, fuck yourself" I yelled pounding its head into the tile on the floor, it kept turning into ponies I knew Shoeshine, Snow Piercer, BlueMint, myself, Celestia, even one of the guards. Crimson came out of its nostrils, its eyes turned white and its body fell limp. "Cloud, what have you done?" Celestia asked staring at me "I killed this fucker" I said snarling, I looked back at the creature. I was covered in thick green goop and crimson, the goop started changing from bright green to a dark red. "What the hell?" I said staring at my hooves, the body was... "Trixie?" I asked addressing the corpse, all my vision went black and I heard cackling "Cloud what have you done?" //-------------------------------------------------------// Awake //-------------------------------------------------------// Awake I woke up with Zecora dabbing my head with a wet sponge. "Ahhh what the fuck" I said spastically. "You were incapacitated due to the potion you drank, I assume you had a nightmare." She said throwing the sponge on the floor "who's Chrysalis?" I asked "how do you know that name?" She asked "my dream" I said "oh no, I fear your dream was no dream, but a vision." She said "no no no no, I'm not staying here for another second" I said gaining my balance. I felt my head to make sure I wasn't covered in blood or anything, my horn was gone as well as the chain on my neck but my wings were still there "I advise not taking those potions anymore, they're really fuckin up your body" Zecora said picking up my bag. "Goodbye" I said throwing my bag over my flank with my hoof. "Goodbye Cloud Piercer" she said waving as I walked out her door. It was daytime, I flew over the trees and landed by the train station entering the town, the train came to a stop. NightShade came out of the train with Shoeshine and Snow Piercer "fuckity fuck... fuck" I whispered  trying not be noticed by them "Cloud you're not invisible." Snow Piercer said "NightShade... hey" I said feeling awkward. She came up to me and hit me with her forehoof "I should cut off your cock right now" she said staring into my eyes angrily. "What did I do?" I asked "you fucked Shoeshine over there" she said pointing a hoof back at Shoeshine "uh huh... and?" I asked "I don't have a problem with you Cloud, just letting that be known right now." Snow Piercer said "I think you need to be put in check" NightShade continued "what does that mean?" I asked "well I think you should stop being a whore!" She yelled at me "how the fuck am I a whore, I've fucked two mares!" I yelled back at her "could y'all just fuck and stop arguing or kiss and makeup, or whatever you do." Snow Piercer said "I-I'm sorry Cloudy... I love you so much but since you left my life has been hell" she said, ponies were staring at us. "What's that?" She asked pulling at the saddlebags on my flank "that's my uhh, cutie mark I guess you could call it." I said "I never even noticed it" Snow Piercer said "Cloud, we've found your mother" NightShade said, I burst out laughing "I don't have a mother" I said "Cloud we really have found your mother" NightShade said "sure ya did." I said "I'm gonna go get a drink but y'all can converse or whatever it is you do when I'm not around" I said as I started walking away. The bar was crowded "apple whiskey please" I said to the bar pony. "Ah shit" I remembered the hole in my bag "I don't have bits." I said "don't worry first one for new faces is free" the bar pony said. "Thank you" I said as he slid my glass onto the table with his hoof. "Hey, gimme the usual" a light grey mare with a black and white mane said coming up to the counter. "Your feathers are blue" I said not realizing it "are they, I thought they were black" she said looking up at me. "Oh I'm sorry I'll shut up" I said turning back to my drink. She started laughing at me "no no I'm color blind, I actually did think they were black." She said "how could nopony tell you?" I asked "well I don't have a lot of friends... but the ones I do have want me for, a uh... things" she said "I know what you mean, mares are" I let out a sigh. "Mares are okay but I just don't want them breathing down my neck, the sex is nice but it's not needed constantly." I said "even though I haven't fucked anypony in a while." I said "why's that?" The bar pony asked "a lot of shit I don't wanna talk about happened to me" I said. "So stranger... what's your name?" The mare asked turning to me "I'm Cloud Piercer" I said. "Lunar Lights" she said holding out her forehoof, I shook it naturally. I finished off my drink "nice to meet you but I gotta run" I said. She put a pink and violet sock hat on her head "why are you staring at me?" She asked cocking her head "oh I'm sorry I didn't realize I was staring" I said looking down. I started my way out the door "ugh" she said walking behind me. "What?" I said turning to her "can't you get a hint" she sighed "I'm gonna follow you home." She said "uhh I don't live in Ponyville" I replied "then follow me to my house?" She said. "Ohhhh... I understand, but I can't... at least not now." I said "well you can meet me at my house later, okay?" She said scribbling something into her notebook "here" she said putting the paper in my saddlebag. She walked out of the bar, her cutie mark was a sketch outline. I followed her out and ran into Snow Piercer "hey Cloud, we got a motel but you and me have to share a room." She said "uhh why?" I asked "well NightShade and Shoeshine left back for Canterlot and I only had enough money for a room sooo, we gotta share." She said "come on" she said turning and edging me to follow her. The motel was small but had a comfortable feel to it, the bed was white. She locked the door behind her "sooo... ya wanna fuck your sister?" She asked cocking her head "I did till you mentioned we were related" I said "hmph, okay then." She said, I put my hooves over my face and let out a sigh "if you really want to" I started "I guess we can" I muttered. "Finally" she said jumping on me, my saddlebags fell to the floor. "Hey guys I'm ba... damn it Cloud" NightShade came into the room, "why do you always do this?" She asked staring at me and the earth pony lying on the bed next to me. "Look, it wasn't my idea she wanted a fuckin so..." I said "so nothing!" she yelled "you're a jealous mare aren't you" I said. "Jealous?" She started "I'm fucking jealous, hmph that's a real good one" she said "you're not being yourself." I said "wait... Chrysalis?" I asked, her eyes widened and darted around the room. She murmured something and twisted her hoof into the ground "what?" I said "fuck me" she whispered "what, no you've been a total bitch since the last time I saw you" I said starting to make my way out the door. I grabbed the piece paper out of my bag "what's that?" She asked, I walked out the door of the motel. "Okay Lunar, what the fuck is wrong with me" I said as the door opened to her house "that's a casual way to start a conversation" she said. "You smell" she said "yeah I know I've been in a crummy motel for a few hours, can I use your bathroom?" I asked "yeah but I didn't say it was a bad smell, you smell like whiskey, sex, and pears." She said "get in here" she said pulling at my body. She shut her door behind us, the next morning I felt drained. There was a knock at her door, it swung open "hello, Lunar are you here?" I knew the voice it was NightShade. Why would she be here? "Oh yeah I'm here, just a second" she yelled "stay here" she whispered. She walked out of the room, I put my ear to the door "so I really wanted you to meet your son today but we couldn't find him this morning... but I came with your daughter today" she said "sooo... you're my mom?" I heard a voice sounding like Snow Piercer "holy fuck!" I screamed and kicked a hole in the wall. I rammed the door to the room down "are you telling me that I fucked my mother and my sister or clone in the same night." I said "Cloud!" NightShade yelled, I passed out and fell to the floor. //-------------------------------------------------------// Insane //-------------------------------------------------------// Insane I'm fucking crazy, I woke up on the floor of Lunar's house. "Are you okay?" She asked "I need a minute... or a hour or a year" I walked into the bathroom. "What the hell is wrong with him?" I heard NightShade say "everything" I yelled slamming the door. I tried to cry but nothing came out. I started pounding on my face with my hooves, my eyes started bleeding. I let it run down my muzzle and drip onto the floor. I walked into the shower and turned it on, I could feel my flesh burning. I started scrubbing everywhere on my body, I still felt unclean. I scrubbed till my coat started peeling away, I didn't stop. I started pulling out my hair, "fucking idiot!" I yelled hitting the glass door. Glass rained down onto the floor, my hoof had shards in it. I pulled the biggest one out and started skinning myself. I assume my screaming was heard, there was a knock on the bathroom door. "Cloud... are you alright?" It was Snow Piercer "yeah just fine" I said through my teeth. The muscle on my flank was exposed, the shower was more blood than water now. This was my breaking point, I had fucked my clone or twin or whatever the hell she is and my mother. NightShade was right I had a problem, I didn't know it was my mother. I don't even know how she is my mother I was created in a fucking tube. "I want to die" I whispered, the pounding of water and dripping of blood was so loud I couldn't even hear myself. My mane was a pile of black and red on the floor, my foreleg was nearly bone. I tore at my wings, feathers fell to the shower floor and became coated in crimson. I turned off the water and stepped out, I opened the bathroom door. "I'm doing great" I said walking into the middle of the room. Snow Piercer looked like she was about to vomit "C-Cloudy?" NightShade said biting into her forehoof "yes" I asked leaning in close to her face so she could see my bleeding eyes. "No wait don't tell me... it's something like oh I don't know maybe it's what have you done or maybe it's I can't even look at you or maybe it's you're fucking insane... any of those?" I said as she burst out in tears "I don't know how to speak to you anymore." She whined "ahh misery, or life depending on how you look at it" I said sadistically. She kissed me, why would she kiss me. "Why?" I whispered looking down "just because you're changing doesn't mean I can't still love you" she replied. "It kinda does, do you not see what I've done to myself?" I asked chuckling "yes, I do see your self destruction, but as far as I'm concerned you're not feeling right on account of... well this whole thing that happened to you." She said slowly, I started laughing "what?" She asked "Clouds not here anymore" I didn't say that, but my mouth did. I bit her throat, covering my muzzle in crimson. Her flesh tore from her neck swiftly, she fell to the floor with a meaty thud. "Tasty" I said wiping my muzzle with my foreleg. I walked up to Lunar and hugged her, she was trembling "don't worry mom she'll be back soon" I backed away from her and walked out the front door. Snow Piercer ran after me and tackled me to the ground "what the fuck is wrong with you?" She asked pounding her hooves on my face. Ponies were staring at the earth pony beating the face of a pegasus that looked like it came back from hell. "Shhhhh, quiet now" I said, my tooth fell to the back of my tongue and I spat it at her. She got off of me "gah" she yelled "fuck off" she said running back into Lunars house. I wasn't myself, I was seeing through my eyes but I had no control of anything I was doing. I felt like I was being controlled again, but I couldn't speak. I tried to find my voice "fuck!" I screamed, I had control over myself again. What was happening to me, I just killed NightShade, I'm bleeding, and I'm pretty sure I just made Snow Piercer and Lunar hate me. I started pounding on the front door "oh my gosh I didn't know what I was doing please somepony let me in!" I yelled, the door swung open and I was pulled in by a green glow. Snow Piercer had a horn "I'm gonna kick your fucking shit in" she said angrily "no no no please listen to me" I said before she threw me into a wall with her magic. I think I died, when I awoke I had all my hair and flesh back. There was a giant crack in the wall and I was tied down on a chair. "Listen Cloud, we all love you but you're being a pain in the ass lately" NightShade said. "Thank Celestia you're back" I said as she smacked me across the muzzle. "I love you and you killed me" she said "and it's not the fist time either" she added. "I know... but it's not me who kills you, I'm killing myself, I don't know why I do these things to the ponies I love... I just become a crazy sadistic bastard, I think it's because I'm supposed to be a killing machine that kills everypony. But I don't want to do that, my subconscious knows that but my body says kill kill kill, I have a breaking point and it's bad it's when I think about the bullshit in my life that releases my crazy subconscious while the sane version of me is forced to watch all that happens not being in control of any of it... I'm sorry" I said starting to tear up. "You can all kill me as many times as you want in anyway you want... I don't care anymore" I said. "Cloudy, I love you" NightShade said, she kissed me. I felt her teeth sink into my jugular, she pulled it out of my throat and spat it onto the floor. I felt sticky and warm, she kissed me again, holding me there till I died. I woke back up to NightShade sucking on my... bits "what are you doing?" I asked her trying to not feel as hot as I did. She bit it, I winced as she yanked of my cock "you fucking bitch, ah damn it" I cried. "Come on baby it's fine, it'll grow back" she said, I sat there crying for about seven minutes, then she shot me. This time when I woke up it was Snow Piercer standing before me "looks like your cocks not fully back yet, what a shame" she said. She rammed into my stomach with her horn "thanks for talking to that zebra, I love not feeling what you do anymore" she said as the blood dropped down from her horn onto her muzzle. She licked it off and slammed her forehoof into my jaw, the bottom of my muzzle was gone. I sat there watching her lick the blood off herself, I slowly died. I woke up to her licking my face "what are you-" she bit into my eyeball and spat it into my face. I could barely see "y'all might be more sadistic than me" I said trying not to cry. "I think we just might be Cloud" she said before hitting my pelvis full force with her hoof. There was a hole in my pelvis that went clean through the chair as well. "Fuck you!" I screamed "I would but it appears your cock is on the floor... both of them" she started laughing. "Night sweetness" she said before smashing her hoof through my chest. Of course this time it was Lunar  "I really don't want to beat the fuck outta you but it looks like so much fun I have to give it a try" she said "but your my mom." I said "uh huh, so your point?" She had a kitchen knife in her hoof, she went behind the chair and stabbed me in the foreleg "nice one" I said through my teeth, she started slashing at my back. She stabbed the back of my head. This time I woke up she was holding a bat, she struck me across the face with it. "Harder" I said "what?" She asked "I said harder maybe you can knock my head off so I don't have to come back to this" I said. She hit my face again, I felt my neck crack. I woke up again, they were all around me. NightShade approached me "just remember we all love you" she said before she cut the rope holding me in the chair. "Sure you do" I said, she kissed me, Snow Piercer kissed me, even my fucking mother kissed me. It felt wrong "I want to go home... I need rest" I said. "Goodbye uh... mom" I said before hugging her. "You don have to call me that you know" she said "oh thank Celestia" I said "just keep what we've done behind closed doors" she whispered to me "okay" I replied. I grabbed my saddlebag and threw it over my back. Snow Piercer came up to me "maybe we can fuck again sometime?" She whispered "really?" I said sarcastically "hey I wanted to after you got out of stasis and we've only done it once... please" she whispered. "Listen I think I jut got back on good terms with NightShade so... maybe once but it's only a maybe." I whispered back to her "what are you guys talking about?" NightShade asked "how he's still covered in blood" Snow Piercer said "yeah what are we gonna do about that?" I asked "here, Snow Piercer try this spell" NightShade said pulling a notebook out of her saddlebag, she panned through it "ah here it is" she said pointing a hoof at the page. Snow Piercer started laughing "okay ready Cloud?" She asked "I guess" I replied, a wave of water came out of her horn and pushed me back into the front door. "Are ya clean" she yelled laughing "fuck yourself" I yelled back, I chuckled. "Can't I don't have a cock, sorry" Snow Piercer said to me as she walked out the front door. "By Lunar" NightShade waved at her "by you crazy fucks" she yelled back, I closed the door behind me. "Y'all had to go for my dick didn't you" I said "what?" NightShade asked "when I said you can kill me anyway you wanted you really liked beating my dick off of me" I said "well hey look on the bright side mom has something to play with now" Snow Piercer said as she burst out laughing. "Gross" I said "hey you're the one who fucked her" Snow Piercer said "yeah but not everyone needs to know" I replied. "I'm gonna tell everyone when we get to the compound" she said "no you're not" I said. "Well you'll have to fuck me so I won't tell anypony" she snickered "your blackmailing him into sex?" NightShade asked "apparently she is" I said "I'll allow it" NightShade said "wait... weren't you freaking out about how I'm fucking too many mares?" I asked "yeah but I got out all my aggression after I bit off your cock" she said "well that's nice" I said "sooo what I'm hearing is that I can fuck him?" Snow Piercer said "if you want" NightShade replied. "Yeah sure just throw around my cock to anypony" I said sarcastically. "Well she's sorta your sister so she's not anypony" NightShade said. "Didn't you wanna fuck me first though?" I asked her. "Yeah I do" she replied "so calm yourself Snow Piercer" she added. Snow Piercer grunted, we made it onto the train. //-------------------------------------------------------// Train //-------------------------------------------------------// Train "You don't get to grunt okay?" NightShade said to Snow Piercer "why at least I'm not like you" she paused and chuckled "oh Cloud pound me harder unnnhhh" she said laughing. Ponies turned and stared at her "I do not make those sounds" NightShade said "are you sure about that, I'm surprised anyone in the compound can get any sleep with you two fuckin nearly every night." Snow Piercer replied "you do make sounds  sometimes" I piped up. "Sometimes, hah it's like every time you thrust her" Snow Piercer said turning to me "umm I guess?" I said "I'm in the room next to yours I've heard her come in there and pound around" she kept laughing. NightShade was red "shut up" she said "looks like someone's not gettin fucked by me again" I said. "Looks like someone's gonna be embarrassed for fucking his mother" Snow Piercer said "good tell everypony" I replied "well it's not any fun if your not gonna be embarrassed by it." She said "oh I know  what'll be fun" she stood on her seat "hey everypony can I have your attention please-" I pulled her down of the seat. "What the fuck is wrong with you?" I asked her "well you're the one on top of me right now." She said smirking at me, she was right though "I'm not a fan of that" she said as she rolled me to the floor. "This is a public place" I whispered "yeah so?" She replied "we can get kicked off the train" I said. "True, plus NightShade looks a little mad" she said, I looked up at NightShade "uhh hi" I said. "Hi Cloud" she said sounding disappointed "get off him" she added. "Awe I just wanted some fun" Snow Piercer said sitting back in the seat. The train went dark as we went through a tunnel "Cloud is that you?" I heard NightShade ask. "Why isn't there any lights?" I asked "there are they're just finicky" I heard somepony say. We came out of the tunnel, I saw something that made my blood boil. Snow Piercer and NightShade were kissing, I could see the tongue swapping happening almost a foot in front of me. "NightShade, Snow Piercer?" I said "what?" They said in sync "wait... I thought you were Cloud!" NightShade yelled as she pushed Snow Piercer off her. "I thought you were Cloud" Snow Piercer replied "wow so you're saying I kiss like a mare" I said. "No it was dark... and I couldn't see" NightShade said "yeah it was dark" Snow Piercer said. "You're pretty good at that" Snow Piercer said turning to NightShade. "What?" NightShade replied "makin out and shit" Snow Piercer said. "Oh, I'm not really that good at it" NightShade said holding her foreleg. "Could you stop please, I don't want you two to do things." I said "oh but if we both do things with you it's okay?" Snow Piercer said "n-no but I-I uh... you can do whatever or whoever you want." I said "yeah well we both wanna do you... so maybe we could-" I interrupted Snow Piercer "I don't need to read your mind to know where you're going with this." I said "I guess we could do that" NightShade said "but you never liked the idea of three ways." I said "well that was with you and a gay stallion" she replied. "This is with two of... well you, just ones a female" she added "I like having you two around" I said. "When I left I was all alone and was in desperate need of companionship, then I found Shoeshine" I said "and you fucked her, we know" Snow Piercer chipped in "then you fucked me... then our mom" she added. "Thank you for reminding me of all the incest I've committed" I said. "No problem" she replied NightShade leaned in close to me "Cloud, cover yourself" she whispered. "What?" I said as we went through another tunnel "your cock is big right now" she whispered. "Get rid of it" she added "I can't, I'm thinking about three ways right now, I'm sorry" I replied. "Well cover it with your wings, but make it look casual" she said "I can't it's dark." I said "go to the bathroom" she said "I can't see" I said slowly. "Am I gonna have to get rid of it?" She asked "if it doesn't go away" I said, the train came out of the tunnel. "It's not that bad right now" I said "no but it's there" NightShade said. "Oh jeez Cloud" Snow Piercer whispered "I'm sorry but you got me thinking about three ways and all the mares I've fucked, it's your fault Snow Piercer." I whispered angrily "well... have somepony sit on it" she whispered "what?" I replied. "It won't be seen if somepony is on it, right?" She said "yeah but... what about when we get off?" I asked "you'll be the only one getting off" Snow Piercer said as she burst out laughing. I glared at her, it started going down "thank the goddesses" I said. "Damn, I wanted to sit on it" Snow Piercer said "no fuckin duh" I replied. "What's wrong with the both of you?" I asked "were horny fucks?" Snow Piercer said raising her hooves. "Well then stop being horny fucks" I said "I'm gonna get some sleep, wake me when we get to Las Pegasus." I said "I'm sorry for being a horny fuck Cloud" NightShade said "is that what we're gonna call it now?" I asked "well it's what you called it." Snow Piercer said "when the hell did you start listening to me?" I asked "I didn't... except for that part" she said. "Next stop Las Pegasus" came over the speaker in the corner "thank Celestia" I said, this train ride was a nightmare. "Hey we weren't that bad of train companions" Snow Piercer said "wait... how did you know-" she interrupted me "holy fuck, how come I can hear your thoughts again?" She asked, a chill went up my spine "someone hit me" I said "okay" NightShade said as she hit my muzzle with her forehoof. "Ow... why were you so quick to want to hit me?" I asked "I don't feel it" Snow Piercer said. "How bout I do it again?" NightShade said pulling her foreleg back. The train halted to a stop, I slid out of the seat onto the ground. NightShade landed on me and we started laughing "awe you two are cute" Snow Piercer said "but you still wanna fuck me?" I said "and her, but that's beside the point... I like the way you two are together" she said. "So what I'm hearing is that you... a clone of me, does not want to have a three way, how is that possible?" I said as NightShade got off of me, ponies started to get off the train and I followed. "I do like the thought of a three way but I don't really want to get in the way of you two." Snow Piercer said as she stepped off the train "plus you two did just get back together... right?" She said looking confused "I think so?" I said not entirely sure on the subject "yes Cloud we are" NightShade said "why did we separate in the first place?" I asked "you weren't ready to be a father, hell you still aren't and I'm not even close to being a good mother... also I want to kill our son" she said as we started walking towards the compound. "Why was Shoeshine so afraid of you?" I asked as we walked through the trees "I used to have your job, at least for a little while... rumor spread about how I tried to kill Celestia, but I didn't." She said "so you were framed for attempted assassination?" Snow Piercer asked "yes, by someone in the company... still haven't figured out who though" NightShade let out a sigh. We made it to the compound at nightfall, the building was black and coated with holes. "What the hell happened?" I said turning to NightShade "you're a problem" Snow Piercer and NightShade said in unison. I watched both of them turn into the black bugs I had seen before. "What are you things?" I screamed  "what'd you do with my friends?" I yelled, my head started stinging and I passed out. //-------------------------------------------------------// Compound //-------------------------------------------------------// Compound "Someone wake him up" I felt pain on my muzzle, I awoke coughing. "sorry about that Cloud" my vision was foggy I couldn't see who I was talking to. "Who's there?" I asked "it's me BlueMint... are you blind or somethin?" He said "a little" I said, my vision slowly returned. We were in the testing chamber with the cages. "BlueMint is he awake?" I heard "yeah he is" he yelled, we were in a cage suspended by a chain. "Cloud, look down" it was NightShade, Snow Piercer, and Lunar Lights in a cage below us "what the hell happened?" I yelled "from what point?" She yelled back "when did I loose you guys?" I yelled "the last time I saw you was after I uhh bit off your cock" she yelled. "That's super kinky and super disgusting" BlueMint said, I glared at him "How do we get outta here?" I yelled "Cloud Piercer, if you try to escape all of your friends will die!" Boomed out of the speakers "they're monitoring us" I said to BlueMint "no shit" he said. "Hey can I speak to Chrysalis?" I yelled "not until she arrives" boomed the voice. "Damn" I said "your son would like to speak with you" the speaker boomed. The cages slowly went down and landed on the ground. Two of the creatures came out from the doorway they blasted BlueMint, Snow Piercer, and Lunar with a green glow from their horns, me and NightShade were the only ones standing. The cages opened and I ran to her, I hugged her "everything's gonna be okay" I whispered "hey, you two follow us." One of the creatures said, the hallway was a charcoal color filled with holes. We made it to the mess hall "hello father, mother" there he was the fuckup, the child that shouldn't have even been a thing. "The funny thing about family is that you're supposed to know your family members, but I feel like you don't know me at all." He said "like for one thing you don't even know my actual name... depressing isn't it" I wanted to strangle him. "You give off a aura that makes me want to kick your ass" I said, he stood up. "How can you defeat me, you're weak, I'll kill you so many times that there will be nothing to come back as" he said. He was giant compared to me, bigger than Celestia. "I challenge you, but you gotta be as equal as me" I said "hmph, challenge accepted... someone get him a LSD" he said waving at a creature "these changelings will do anything if persuaded correctly" he said. "Why do you want to destroy me son?" I asked "haha!" He yelled "you really believe that I am your son, I am the current prince of the changelings." He said "I snuck into your compound to see If you were a real threat to the changeling empire... but as I thought you're just a pony revolved around too many rumors." He added, as a changeling came in with a vial of the blue liquid. "Take this" he said hovering it over to me "you're going to die" I said drinking the concoction "we shall see" he said. I started to grow in stature, I was staring down at NightShade. My horn appeared on my head, he blasted me through the wall. He flew at me through the hole in the wall "like I said you're weak" he said pinning me to the wall by my throat. "I'm not weak you're just stupid" I said blasting the ceiling causing it I collapse on us. He was under rubble and I was a champion. I started looking through the rubble to find a way out of the cave I buried myself in. He came out of the pile on the ground causing debris to go everywhere. He was a giant changeling surrounded in green fire "I'm not that easy to kill." He said charging at me, I jumped out of the way and he impaled his horn on the wall of rubble. I heard a snap, he was standing before me with a broken horn "you're just pissing me off now" he said. I shot a bolt of red energy at him, the fire surrounding him turned a bright crimson. He ran and bit at me, I held up my foreleg "you cannot beat me, give up" he demanded "not till one of us dies" I said ramming my horn into his chest. My horn was engulfed in red flames, my mane shortly after. I pushed my head into the ground trying to put it out. He bit my backleg, I kicked him full force only causing a split in his face. "You're all sorts of fucked up aren't you, fucking your mother and your sister and trying to kill your own son, Equestria would be a much better place without you." He started laughing maniacally, I felt the burning rage inside I had only one time before. I hit him with my forehoof "you are not my son, I didn't know she was my mother and I believe she's my clone not my sister." I said angrily, the insane me was out once again "you've just made the biggest mistake of your short existence." I said menacingly "sure I did" he kicked me back. I felt my insane side snap, my teeth felt sharper in my mouth. "You're going to die now" I said charging at him, I jumped onto him and sunk my teeth into his neck. I was burning and I could smell it, he threw me off of him and stomped on my face. "HAHAHAHA!" I yelled "what the hell is wrong with you?" He said burning and cutting my face every time he stomped. My horn snapped off "thank Celestia" I said shooting a blast at him. A lot of the energy backfired and went into my body. He was launched off of me, he was on the ground. I bit into his eye and pulled it out. He screamed and kicked my legs, the left back one felt broken. My body was trembling "it appears you're not as weak as I thought" he was standing over me "it's a shame, we could've been allies" he said before kicking my chest with all his might. I started coughing blood "how are you not dead?" I asked "how are you not dead?" He replied "that's a simple one, I have the will to live." I said "but what does it matter when you're a psychopath" I said before grabbing the end of my horn with my hoof and jabbing it into the bottom jaw of the creature. He started coughing more than I was "h-how" he said before the red and green flame died. I died shortly after, I awoke in the cave still, the creature was dead. I found a way out of the rubble filled room. My horn and mane were restored, I blasted the two changelings outside the hole with my energy. "NightShade?" I said "Cloudy!" She yelled running to me "I didn't know who I was going to see come out of there" she said holding me. "Did you really doubt me?" I said "a little" she said, a changeling came into the room "the accursed prince has been slain" he screamed, more changelings followed him into the room. "Hail, Prince Piercer" he yelled, they bowed in unison. I started laughing "what is it my prince?" He said approaching me "you all need to take down all this black stuff then leave" I said "but a prince needs his castle" he said "no, I'm no prince" I said blasting the creatures head off. "Now listen to me, if you believe that I am your prince you will do as I say and leave this place now!" I boomed, the room was cleared out in a matter of minutes. Snow Piercer came into the room "we've found the other scientists" she said. "Then release them" I said "right away sir" she said running off. "That was weird, she never listens to me" I said staring at NightShade. "Maybe it's because you're a quote on quote prince" she said, I started laughing, she leaned in to kiss me "wait" I said "what?" She asked staring at me with her bright emerald eyes. I took my horn and made a small cut on her foreleg. It was red "ow you ass" she said "the hell did you do that for?" She asked "I wanted to see something" I said staring at the cut as it healed over itself. "It is you" I said "yeah no shit" she replied. I jumped on her and kissed her everywhere, she was laughing. "That's not what I was expecting to see when I got out of that damn cage" it was NightShade's father "good work Cloud" he added "oh shi... uh, thank you sir" I said standing straight. NightShade got off the floor "hi daddy..." she said "I'm just gonna lock this door and pretend I saw nothing" he said as he left the room. "This might sound sorta crazy but... maybe we should get married" I said to the mare laying on me. "Wait what did you just say?" She said "I mean yeah I kinda wanna fuck more mares but every time I do it becomes a problem" I said "I've noticed, and I'm a bit clingy" she said "yeah but you're cute and fuckable" I said as I kissed her again. There was a pounding at the door "hey, guys stop fuckin we got a problem" it was Snow Piercer "were not, not anymore at least" I yelled. "Before we see what this is what is your answer?" I asked NightShade "to the marriage thing?" She said "yes" I replied "of course I will" she said. We exited the room and followed Snow Piercer outside, Chrysalis was standing in the middle of the meadow surrounded by copies of me. "Cloud Piercer!" She boomed. //-------------------------------------------------------// Tragedy //-------------------------------------------------------// Tragedy I approached Chrysalis "so you're the little shit that's been a pain in my ass" she said "yes I am, thanks for noticing" I said "queen Chrysalis, he's the prince of the changelings" a changeling said "quiet!" She barked "this fool is no prince, he's the lowest of the low a murderous thief." She said "and a dead one at that" she blasted my with a ray so powerful I was turned into dust. "Cloudy!" NightShade yelled running over to the pile of ash "you monster, you cruel heartless bitch!" NightShade screamed at Chrysalis "awe what's the matter can he not come back" Chrysalis was taunting her. She started laughing maniacally "let this be a remainder to all who try and stop me, no matter who it is... you will die" Chrysalis said. "Fly my changelings" she yelled taking off into the air. Everypony surrounded the pile of ash NightShade was weeping upon. I was able to see everything "what the hell is wrong with you?" I said "what'd ya say Snow Piercer?" BlueMint directed his way toward me "I didn't say anything." It came out of my mouth but in Snow Piercer's voice "yes I did" I said "what's going on right now?" I was speaking through Snow Piercer's muzzle "wait... Cloud?" Whispered out of my lips "holy fuck, am I in your body" I screamed and started flailing all around. "Calm the fuck down Snow Piercer" yelled BlueMint at "I can't calm down when Cloud is inside me" I started laughing. "You said I was inside you" I said "wait so my Cloudy isn't dead?" NightShade said approaching me "no, I'm very much alive" I said "okay so my fiancé is inside his clone... because that makes sense." She said looking pale "it does right?" She addressed BlueMint "don't look at me" he said "look at her or uhh him... whatever it is" he added "I'm a female" came out of my mouth "I'm not" I said "well this body is, so you're a female as long as you're inside me." Came from my muzzle "I don't like this, someone get me into my body" I demanded. "Well you don't have a body right now" NightShade said, I fell to the ground and everything went dark. "Snow Piercer, Cloud anypony in there" there was a light being shined on me "what is it" I murmured "who is this?" It was a lab pony "who the fuck do you think?" I said "ah mister Piercer, welcome to the world of the living" the stallion said, there was a machine hooked up to my chest. "What is this?" I asked him pointing to the metal entering my chest "it's a heart pump" he said "why?" I asks  "well you need it because the body you are in has to control two separate brain waves, yours and Snow Piercers." He said "were not sure if you will survive in her body yet so NightShade and your mother went to get DNA samples from her house. Apparently there was a struggle with you and some changelings?" He said "no actually... there was a mental struggle" I started "I had sexual intercourse with Snow Piercer, as well as my mother" I paused. "It feels so long ago now, even though it was barely four days ago." I said "actually you were in Ponyville seven days ago" he said. "Are you saying I've been dead for three days?" I asked "yes well, you have taken longer than that to heal from head wounds, you tend to heal faster with adrenaline." He said "Doctor we got his DNA!" NightShade burst into the room, she flopped something long and grey onto the table. "What is this?" The doctor said looking up at NightShade "uhh... well ya see I sorta bit off his penis." She said "that was very painful by the way" I spoke up "Cloudy, thank Celestia you're awake" she yelled "I can't hug you or kiss you seeing as I'm being restrained to this torture device." I said "plus I think I'll die if my heart rate goes up" I added. BlueMint came in with a bag of my mane in his teeth "why the fuck would you need my DNA, isn't there a perfectly good clone right here." I said pointing a hoof at myself "yes we thought about that but your chromosomes are very different from hers." The doctor said "you should get rest, your body should be created before next week" NightShade said. I was strapped to a table for three days, NightShade came into the room. "Cloudy, Snow Piercer we finished your body" she said, I turned my head to her "really?" I asked "the body is the exact same as your old one" she said "but I asked them to do a few minor adjustments" she said winking. "Have you noticed how quiet Snow Piercer has been lately?" She asked "she hasn't made anything come out of my mouth in days" I said. "We still aren't even sure how you are alive inside of her body" she said. There was a loud boom "what was that?" I asked "hello Mr Piercer Chrysalis walked into the room "or should I say Mrs Piercer" she added "fuck yourself" I said "how flattering... I see your fiancé has been with you while on your death bed, how cute" she said. "I won't let you hurt him... her, whatever they are" NightShade said staring into the eyes of the black bug. "Very well" Chrysalis said turning NightShade into dust "nooo!" I screamed, my blood was boiling and I watched my heart beat faster. "Awe poor Cloud, you're in your own hell aren't you" she said, she started laughing maniacally and pressed a hoof onto my heart. "I understand how you must feel... oh wait I feed on love, I don't care about the ponies who get hurt after I take it." She said crushing my heart into paste. I awoke being kissed by NightShade "what's going on here?" I asked "we're supposed to be having sex right now but you keep stopping to say random shit" she said, I was in my own body again."NightShade, I'm in my own body again!" I yelled "the hell are you talking about?" She asked "it hasn't happened yet" I whispered "ya know what, I don't feel like having sex right now anymore." She said "wait NightShade, I want you to marry me" I said "why, I've known you three months?" She asked, I was covered in blood "holy shit" I said, it was in the time directly after my flight test. NightShade grew a horn and blasted me to dust. //-------------------------------------------------------// Discord //-------------------------------------------------------// Discord "Please Cloud stop" a creature appeared in front of me that I can't even describe. I was in a space of complete white. "Who are you?" I asked "my name is Discord, and I understand you're life is falling into chaos... is that correct?" He asked "uhh yeah it's sorta fucked up" I said "I may be the god of chaos but you my friend are the king of chaos." He said chuckling "you want to go back to... what was her name again" he said snapping his fingers, a paper appeared in his claw. "You want to go back to NightShade, correct?" He said "obviously I do, but I don't even know where the hell I am in relation to where she is." I said "well... you're in your own personal hell, or whatever you want to call a infinite loop of you dying over and over and over for eternity." He said "I want to get back to NightShade and kill Chrysalis" I said "but I'm not strong enough" I added. "Please save me the heartwarming speeches" he said "what I'm saying is that I can do that... but I expect something in return" he said. "Hey I'm not gay pal" I barked, he appeared sitting next to me "you misunderstand me my friend, I just want you to promise me the ability to see Fluttershy any time I want." He said "can't you already do that?" I asked "of course I can... but popping in unannounced has lost its touch, I want to borrow your body." He said "hahaha, your a funny mother fucker aren't you" I said "last I heard you were the mother fucker" he said examining his nails. I could feel my eyes twitching, he smirked at me "I'm just kidding Cloud, but really if we don't solve your problems all of Equestria is doomed." He said "why, how?" I asked "I've seen the future of Equestria, well small glimpses... but I don't like what I see." He said "what about the princesses?" I asked "I've seen a glimpse of princess Twilights future... her and all her friends will be defeated by queen Chrysalis and... oh it's too horrid to think about" he said putting his bird leg across his head. "But there is a way to save Equestria, you if I can make it so you can't be destroyed by anything we should win the war between the changelings and ponies." He said "goodbye Cloud" he said, I felt myself get lighter and started floating into the air. What the hell did I just sit through, I was in the dark and couldn't see. I was underground, I frantically started digging at the dirt I was surrounded by. I made it to the top of the ground, everything was black I still couldn't see. There was a big boom and I felt the earth shift, there was a beam of light coming in from the sky. "What the hell?" I said, I rammed into the side of the world. It was a wall, I hit it again and started to fall. "Oh no" I heard somepony yell, the world I was in shattered into pieces. In the light I found that the ground was grey. "Of course that one would try to escape" a voice bellowed. "What the fuck?" I said turning, I was standing before a giant dragon "you want to escape, correct?" It's voice was deep and menacing, I stood for what felt like an eternity "what do you mean escape?" I asked "well you've clearly broken from your urn for a reason, if I believe your reason is fitting for you to go back to the normal realm then I will send you back" the dragon said. I gotta think right about this, what is my reason I believe I should leave. "Love, and hatred" I stated "toward whom?" He asked leaning his head closer toward me "my love for NightShade... and my hatred for queen Chrysalis." I said "you believe that I shall let you return because of love you hold for a mare you don't even know?" He boomed, what did I know about her... "she cared for you and you left her in a place where she could've been destroyed, your home is not a safe place... I have seen your past, I don't like it. You've made my job harder as the gatekeeper between hell and your world." He boomed "I can't just have creatures running amuck, but that damned god of chaos sees something inside of you that I clearly don't." He said "he said I was needed to save Equestria" I said "I bet he told you he could see the future as well" he said "y-yes he did" I stuttered. "He cannot see the future, he only knows what he has seen. Parts of your life... your life may be the most chaotic he has ever bared witness to." He said "Discord, come to me" the dragon shouted. A puff of smoke appeared in front of me and Discord was here "hello Cloud" he said before the dragon squeezed his body and pulled him toward his face. They were speaking but I couldn't make it out, where was I even. It was a giant room filled with gems and gold, as well as urns giant urns that could hold at least twenty ponies. This room was bleak and dull, void of any color. I wanted to go home but this dragon wouldn't let me. "Cloud, I believe we've made an arrangement" Discord said popping up next to me. "If you can destroy queen Chrysalis before the summer sun celebration then you can stay in Equestria as long as you want." He said "and if I don't?" I asked "he shall take all the ones you care about and keep them here forever." He said "that's reassuring, either kill somepony that I don't even know where is or stay here with my loved ones forever, looks like I'm going to have to kill a queen." I said approaching the dragon "I believe that I am ready to return" I said "one more thing before you go, the side of you that has a passion for killing might be the only side any of your friends shall see till you kill Chrysalis." The dragon said "really?" I asked "it's a maybe, not a one hundred percent chance." He said "fuck! I guess they'll have to deal with it then." I said "your return may be painful" the dragon said sending a ball of fire toward me. //-------------------------------------------------------// Pain //-------------------------------------------------------// Pain As I entered back into the normal world I felt pain, not a normal pain. It was a pain that made drowning seem like heaven. It felt like I was being burned, suffocated, and thrown through a building all at once. I was pulled through the ashes that I once was. I was fueled with anger, my coat was red and I... "why am I dying!" I screamed, I ran into the compound and broke down the front door. "Who the hell is that!" Somepony yelled "I'm dying!" I screamed, I lost consciousness "is that Cloud?" I heard as I drifted in and out of consciousness. "It certainly looks like him, but I don't believe it is" I was hearing everything. I got up from the section of the floor I was lying on. My eyes opened "you're fucking dead!" I yelled strangling one of the doctors, "stop!" The other yelled shoving me off the near dead doctor. I ran out of the room I was in, I gasped at the sight of her. "Hiya doll face" I said approaching NightShade. "I'm sorry but I believe you have the wrong mare" she said. "Don't you recognize me?" I said "I feel like I'd remember somepony who looked like you" she said "NightShade it's me, ya know Cloud" I said. "Nice joke" she said walking around me "NightShade, if I'm not Cloud then how do I know... what I did to you" I said "what did you do to me?" She said turning "I left you alone with our crazy ass changeling son for about a month before you came to ponyville... and I" I paused exhaling "had sex with my mother and Snow Piercer." I said "you also bit off my cock" I added. She started tearing up "Cloudy" she yelled jumping on me. "I didn't think that you'd ever come back, you've been gone so long." She said kissing all over me. "You don't look the same" she said "really?" I heard the doctors speaking of my appearance but I never thought about it. "Your mane is black and white, while your body is red" she said. "I'm glad you know your special stallion is back but me and him are only hear for a certain amount of time." I said "now get the fuck off me" I said "Cloudy?" NightShade asked "yeah he's here just not... dominant right now." I  snickered "hey, I remember you... you're the mare I bit the throat out of" I hissed. "What are you?" She asked "well your Cloudy isn't... how do I say this without totally fucking you up?" I paused "ah, I know" I leaned in and kissed her, I bit her tongue and yanked on it. It tore from her mouth cleanly "Cloud should've done that to you long ago, but he doesn't have the balls to do anything to harm you... I'm the complete opposite" I said wiping blood from my muzzle. "I'm not afraid to kill you and every last pony in this damn compound" I said leaning on close to her. Blood was trickling out her mouth onto the floor, she tried speaking but I couldn't make it out. "Ya see that Cloud?" I said "you're the one in my body this time." I added, I walked down the hall of the compound as NightShade collapsed to the ground. "Hey, you can't be in here" Snow Piercer said as I turned the corner. "Hello... uh, Snow Piercer" I said "I said you can't be in here, I don't care if you know my name or not." She said approaching me "don't you have spunk" I sneered. "What the hell does that mean? Look buddy if you're not gonna leave I'm gonna have to use force." She said "by all means" I said, she smashed me into a wall with her head. "Didn't you just want me to leave? Now you crave blood, I think I'm in love." I said watching the blood spurt out of my side "too bad you cut me." I said giving her an eye, her horn was caked in crimson, I was stronger than before. "You look like you need to get fucked up" I said charging her into the glass by my room. She was turning from white to red, lying on a pool of crimson mixed with glass. "You're not as strong as I remember" I whispered into her ear. I tried to look away from the horror I was witnessing. I lifted her and... raped her. I dropped her near dead body to the ground and walked into the bathroom. In the mirror I was red and my mane was black and white. "Cloud, let it be known that I shall let nothing stand in my way. Not your piece of shit mare, not your mother, not anyone... understand" I said staring into my own eyes. "F-fuck yourself" I was able to speak out. "Awe, poor Cloud can barely say a thing" I said smirking. I walked out of the bathroom and into the hallway. "I hope that you'll meet Ashen, he's a nice stallion that ya got trapped in your mind." I said, BlueMint approached me "damn it" he said running toward the fire alarm on the wall. I smashed him into the brick "ya don't wanna do that do ya cowboy. It's me Cloud ya dumb fuck" I said, NightShade ran into my back causing me to fall to the ground. "You're not Cloud, if you were-" I cut her off "if I was Cloud I'd love you but I'm not" I said. "As far as I'm concerned you're all just in my way" I said "so you're not just a insane psychopathic murderer?" BlueMint asked, I walked away from him. My eyes gazed upon a black unicorn with a pink green and blue mane. "Aurora?" I said to her "P-Pierce?" She said tearing up, I didn't know what was happening at first. I was holding her in the middle of the corridor. "How are you alive?" She asked staring up at me "this isn't me, not my body at least. But you must've put my brain in subject eleven, I don't know how I'm here but I have something to do before I can be with you again" I said. "Aurora, I need my Cloudy" NightShade said approaching behind me. "A-and I need NightShade" I murmured, I could feel my body shifting. My coats color shifted darker into a black. "NightShade!" I yelled "oh my Celestia" she whispered "I didn't know they used your brain" she said "my poor Ashen" she was sobbing. "Please no!" I screamed as I shifted back into white. "What the hell is happening to me?" I screamed, my body fell limp and collapsed to the ground. "Cloud, you must let me be in control please... I have to see Aurora." I was in a dark room standing with Pierce and Ashen beside me, his coat was pure black and his mane had touches of green. "I'm so lost, who are you?" I asked "I am Pierce, that part of you that's insane."  Pierce said "I'm Ashen... NightShades sort of" he swallowed and let out a sigh "NightShades former lover" he said. I was steaming with anger "Pierce, if you remove Ashen from my body I will personally see to it that you and Aurora will be together again, just not in my body." I said, Pierce jumped onto Ashen and started slamming his head into the ground. My head started hurting, we were inside my mind. I became dizzy, I couldn't see straight. When I finally regained my sight Pierce was caked in blood making his red coat darker. I awoke in my room "a-are you okay Cloud?" NightShade asked, I jumped up and started strangling her "w-what are you doing" she sputtered. "I don't know!" I screamed throwing her to the ground, I started sulking and curled up into a ball on the floor "Ashen's gone, I'm so fucking stupid" I said softly. "What do you mean Ashen's gone?" She asked "I was filled with rage when I saw him and I made Pierce kill him, he's not in my mind anymore and now my head keeps pounding." I said staring up at her "Cloudy, I didn't know they put him inside your head... I'm sorry if you've had a false love for me." She said shedding a tear "NightShade I love you... I need you to get the scientists to make a blank body and cut Pierce out of me, I made him a promise." I said standing "oh shit!" I yelled "when's the summer sun celebration?" I asked shaking her "three days, why?" She said "fuuuuccckkk" I said "I have to find and kill Chrysalis in three days" I said. //-------------------------------------------------------// Destruction //-------------------------------------------------------// Destruction NightShade seemed different to me almost as if I lost my affection for her. Of course that was not true, it couldn't have been. "Cloud?" She said "you seem puzzled" she added. "I was thinking... about Ashen, about you, about me" I said. "It's almost as if when he left my mind I forgot who you were" I said. "Who exactly was he?" I asked "subject eight, he was... he was something" she said "he was a friend, not really anything more than that" she added. "NightShade, I know when you're lying" I said, she grunted "I cared for him... he was one of the last ponies we made before we started using PFL program. Most of the ponies we created before we used the PFL program died of a disorder that takes the blood and pushes it slowly out your body" she said. "So you were made when they created the PFL program?" I asked "if I wasn't I sure as hell wouldn't be here now." She said, I didn't feel right "NightShade, do you think you could leave my room for tonight?" I asked. "Oh, I guess I could" she replied "could you also ask Snow Piercer to come in here I want to apologize to her" I said. "Sure" she said leaving my room, I passed out on my bed. I awoke to Snow Piercer sleeping beside me "oh fuck, did we..." I felt dizzy and sounded drunk. I fell back asleep, this time I awoke standing in the middle corridor, the fire alarm was sounding and the sprinkler system was running. I had NightShade and Aurora backed into a wall. "Cloudy please..." NightShade whimpered, she had blood dripping off her into a pool of crimson beneath her and Aurora. My eyes grew heavy and I blacked out yet again, I awoke in the meadow outside of the compound. I turned and pounded on the doors "hello?" I yelled "anyone in there?" I added "poor poor Cloudy" I said "doesn't know what he did or whom he did" I added "Pierce you fucker what'd you do?" I said "oh me... I didn't do anything, it was all you." I said "you also figured out where Chrysalis is going next" I said "where is that exactly?" I asked "Canterlot castle, she's going to kill the princesses, they're all going to be there before sundown so I suggest we get moving." I said "I will not" I said "I don't think you have a choice" I said. My eyes rolled back and I saw the familiar blackness that had consumed me. All around me I heard ponies clapping, my eyes opened and I was standing before princess Celestia and Luna standing on a stage. Look around you Cloud, what do you see? I heard in the back of my mind, it was Pierce. All these ponies clapping for their princesses, princess Cadence and Twilight walked out from the curtain and stood beside the two sisters. Maniacal laughing was heard from above, I turned to the sky and saw Queen Chrysalis. She landed on the stage in front of Celestia, she blasted her with  bolt of green energy. My body lunged onto the stage "Cloud, what are you doing?" Celstia said addressing me "Cloud?" Chrysalis said turning to me "how are you still alive?" She asked, my eyes started to close but I wouldn't let it happen again. "Hello there... Chrysalis is it?" I asked "my name is Pierce" I added. She blasted me with the same fiery green bolt that turned me into nothing but ash before. "You said I couldn't be the changeling ruler, but you don't know how much more of a changeling than any of your servants" I said, my coat slowly turned to red and my stature grew. Something came out of my head "you cannot destroy me so easily anymore" I said shooting a white bolt at her. "Cloud, you're not supposed to see this" I said, my eyes felt weak and I fell back into the black nothingness. I awoke to ponies screaming, I had red on my hooves and I was standing over the badly beaten and near dead princess of Equestria. My hoof crushed her skull "no" I said softly. I didn't see any of the other princesses around me. "Behold your new King of Equestria" I heard somepony yell. I turned to see Chrysalis applauding me, what had I done. "Pierce what did you do!" I yelled "Pierce!" I screamed, no one answered. //-------------------------------------------------------// Sorrow //-------------------------------------------------------// Sorrow "What did you make me do!" I screamed at Chrysalis "I don't believe I understand what you mean" she said. I lunged at her, my horn sliced across her face and blood dropped to the ground. "Now what is that smell?" She asked pinning my to the ground with her hoof. "You smell like a coward as well as death" she snickered, she was taunting me. How could she taunt me did she not see what I did to Celestia? "I hate you" I said "awe that's cute" she said laughing, I bit at the hole in her leg and yanked away her flesh. She toppled over in agony "you... you think you're so smart don't you?" She said "a little bit" I said with a chuckle "well you're not" she said turning into a smaller changeling. "I was waiting to see the real Cloud Piercer" she landed in front of my putting a indentation in the wood of the stage. "Good" I said as I blasted a bolt of red light at her body. It bounced off of her "I thought I'd make things fair, since I can't kill you" she said. "Look at it like this... the only reason you're still alive is because you cannot die" she added. "I can but you don't know how to kill me" I said "so as long as you have that shield around you you'll be safe." I said before soaring off into the air, I went past the end of the cloud layer and turned back around soaring down to the ground at full speed. I couldn't hear anything as I broke the sound barrier. I saw the ponies running from the stage back to their homes. The changelings started forming walls around their queen, this was going to be fun. I slammed into the first wall making changelings fall to the ground. I felt my horn pierce through the second wall of them, the crimson flying through the air was warm on my face and I embraced all of it. The final wall before me and Chrysalis was about to be no more. I slammed into the center Changeling pushing him into his queen. She lost consciousness from me landing on her, as did I. When I awoke me and her were in a crater "of course it would come to this" she said regaining her balance. I started charging at her, I was stopped and couldn't move. "Cloudy, stop you're hurting me" I heard, my eyes were shut and I didn't want to open them. "Please..." I heard "stop it" I said softly "but-" she started "fucking stop!" I screamed opening my eyes, she was turned to NightShade. "You fuckers feed on love... what'd you do to her" I asked "I didn't do anything to her or any of your friends" she said approaching me. I suddenly thought of something "could you become anything?" I asked "oh so you want to know about me now hmm?" She said "could you be a black unicorn with a mane like the Aurora Borealis?" I asked "why?" She said "just do it" I demanded. She shifted into a pony that looked similar to Aurora "ohhh, I think I understand... you never loved NightShade did you?" She said "you really loved this mare, is that it?" She said "what was her name?" She asked "Aurora" I murmured "oh don't worry Cloud, my love will protect you" she started cackling "what a fucking joke" she said. I felt my body start shaking with anger, my eyes went back into my mind. I had a front row seat for a total storm of hell fire "don't you fucking do that" my body turned red, and I was happy to see it change. My body started moving slowly closer toward Chrysalis "how the hell?" I heard her mutter "you need to be stronger than that if you want to get to me" she snickered. My blood started boiling and I started moving much faster, I got to her and started strangling the imposter version of Aurora with my hooves. "Don't be a bitch" I said beating my hoof into her head cracking her horn. She turned back into a bruised and broken Chrysalis. I threw her body to the ground, I was suddenly blasted with a beam of blue light. "My sister may be gone but that doesn't give you the right to fight her battles Cloud" it was Princess Luna. I was in control of my body again "gahhh!" I heard somepony scream, I turned and saw... Pierce. He wasn't in my body anymore, he was charging at the queen. "Pierce, I shall ask you only once to stop" the princess boomed. He rammed into the queens unconscious body, I watched as the princess shot a bolt of blue at him. His body was coated in fire, he walked through the smoke like a demon out of hell. He charged at the princess, he wasn't fazed by anything she shot at him. She reared back her head and blasted a giant bolt of blue at him putting a crater in the earth. He jumped out of it and rammed his horn into her throat. "I should've killed you when I had the chance" he said as her body slipped off his horn. "Cloud, fuck yourself" he said before turning and heading back toward Chrysalis's body. " I ran to the princess "Luna?" I asked approaching the body, her mane stopped flowing and her colors faded. "Damn it" I said before charging at Pierce, he stopped me by blasting me with a bolt of white. "Hey fucker I just made it so you can stay with all those bitches at the compound forever, you should be grateful" he said releasing me. "We had a deal, but since you killed Aurora I guess I can't be with her" he said "what?" I asked, I suddenly remembered the scene I awoke to of NightShade and Aurora backed into the wall. It must've been Aurora's blood "I'm sorry" I said sincerely "well I repaid you" he said "What?" I asked "check the compound" he said, I snarled at him "you're fucking nuts, I-I didn't even do anything to Aurora." I was doubting myself "damn, you are smarter than you look" he said "ah well I didn't need that bitch slowing me down anyway... it was also a lot of fun chasing down your friends and killing them one by one" he added. "I'm  gonna kill you in the most violent way I know how to kill anyone" I said. "I mean... I can't believe I ever thought you could have one measly shred of fucking emotion" I screamed. //-------------------------------------------------------// Hatred //-------------------------------------------------------// Hatred I felt pain as my body was thrown through the steal doors of the harvest compound. "The only reason I kept you alive so far was because I was stuck in your body." Pierce said "and you thought I was weak" I said groaning. "Everypony behold the supposed god you've created!" He boomed through the halls, they were filled with ponies within seconds. I noticed NightShade "what the hell?" I murmured "he has been defeated by his lesser counterpart, irony is a cruel bitch isn't it?" He said, I could barely move a muscle, he kicked me toward the crowed of ponies. NightShade and Snow Piercer both approached me. NightShade pounded my skull into the ground with her hoof and everything went black. "Cloudy, you're such a simpleton" I saw NightShade standing before me beside Pierce. "I never loved you, I never even loved Ashen, the one I really had feelings for was Pierce... we've been tricking you this whole time" she said. I snarled and lashed out at Pierce, there was something around my neck. I was chained to the wall like a stray dog "you're pitiful, I can't even look at you" she said. She turned and grabbed Pierce and kissed him, she made sure I was going to regret being alive. "Stop it" I screamed "fucking stop, I swear to Celestia!" I screamed "you mean our goddess that you killed?" I turned to see Chrysalis chained up to the wall next to me I noticed her horn was cracked off and her wings were clipped. "What the hell?" I said "Cloud  I need you I do one thing if we make it out of this" she said "kill that fucker" she added. "Awe it's cute how you think he can kill the two of us" NightShade said turning to Chrysalis. "But you're really just a dumb bitch" she said hitting Chrysalis. "Cloud please help me" I turned again and saw my mother, she was beaten and coated in red. "Cloud" I turned back and saw Snow Piercer dwelling in the shadows. "Are you okay?" I asked, I heard weeping "what do you care" she said, I moved closer into the corner I saw the silhouette in. She leached out at me and held me "I'm scared" she said, I held her closer "it'll be fine." I said, she looked at me, she didn't have any eyes "I don't think it will be." I could feel my blood boiling, I turned and ran at Pierce. My chain broke and I tackled him, I took the chain that hung around my neck and started to strangle him with it. He coughed and spat, I watched the life drain from his eyes. "NightShade, you're broken... and I'm here to fix you" I said. "The fuck does that mean... stay away from me!" She yelled, I cracked my neck "come here" I said approaching her. I chased her into the corner that Snow Piercer was in, Snow Piercer grabbed her and NightShade started screaming. "Feel our pain" Snow Piercer said shoving her hoofs into Nightshades eyes. I heard chains breaking, my mother, Chrysalis, Shoeshine, and BlueMint all appeared and started eating NightShade alive. Her flesh was tearing off her in strips, her screams made me want to die. I was suddenly tied into a chair "why did you make them do that?" NightShades torn remains were standing before me "I didn't make them do anything" I said "but you watched as they tore me apart, and you did nothing" she said. "How you're feeling right now is how I felt when I first realized you... my Cloudy had been taken over by something far worse than anything Pierce could've done to you" she said. "You are not my Cloud anymore" she added "I'm done with you and all of the things you've been doing, goodbye." She said as she burst into chunks of flesh and blood and bone. I started crying "fuck..." I said "NightShade!" I screamed "I'm sorry!" I yelled "what's wrong with me" I was crying. The chair fell over into the heap of purple, red, blue, and black. I was face to face with one emerald eye "such a shame to waste" Pierce appeared in front of me. He stepped on the eye and it bursted onto my muzzle "I thought I killed you" I said "you'll kill yourself before you kill me" he said. He slammed his hoof down on my skull "goodbye Cloud" he said. //-------------------------------------------------------// Ending //-------------------------------------------------------// Ending I awoke in a black room, I wasn't chained to anything. This time there was a door with bars on it, I was in a cell. I could see into the big circular room I hit the bars, I could feel my hoof crack. "Ah fuck" I yelled holding my hoof. "Good evening fillies and gentlecolts!" Boomed inside the room "are you prepared to see what you've all been waiting for?" The voice added, it was some announcer "I can't hear you" it boomed again. There was a roar of ponies and hoofs clapping that came from the room. "That's the spirit" the voice boomed as the door opened. I stepped out into the big room, it was a coliseum. Ponies were watching me, they appeared to be chained to their seats. "There's the one, the only Cloud Piercer, he's a experiment created by the beautiful folks at Harvest Technologies" the voice boomed. There was a camera floating around me, it was projecting me on a wall of the coliseum. "And there's his sweetheart, NightShade, that purple mare with the death stare, she was also a experiment made by the good folks at Harvest." The voice said "N-NightShade?" I said staring at her "next up we have Snow Piercer, a clone of Cloud Piercer." This stallions voice was getting annoying "here we have the egg donor for Cloud, Lunar Lights." The voice said "next up is the all great and the all powerful Trixie Lulamoon, oh and let's not forget about Shoeshine" the voice said. "Guess what my audience... Cloud has has sex with all of them, yeah I know his mother and his clone. How fucked up is that?"  The camera spun around all of the mares that surrounded me "you mean you really fucked Trixie?" NightShade screamed at me "I-I... yes" I said as NightShade approached me. "We have more competitors, we have Pierce the experiment that survived only due to being inside part of Clouds brain. As well as the stallion Cloud had feelings for once in his life, BlueMint" The announcer said, all of the mares ran to me "Mr. Piercer, I believe you're in a major pickle" the voice said "the game that you all will be playing today... is a game of choice." He added "six go in one comes out" the voice boomed. "None of you have your powers we've neutralized them" the voice started to sound shaky. "I'm sorry honey" the voice said, I heard a loud bang come from a booth by the audience. "NightShade, you've been spared" Pierce said approaching her. "Go in your cell... please" he said, she did as she was told. He slammed the gate shut behind her "I always knew your father would do anything for you" he smirked at her. "What?" She screamed at Pierce as he approached me. "You all have the ability to be pardoned except for you Cloud" he said "mostly because all the ones you love are here in the arena, let the games begin" he said. "What?" I asked "I'll put it simple, if you kill everyone else you live and so does NightShade, if you don't you'll be killed as well as NightShade and all of your whores" he said walking into his cell. "Go!" He yelled "oh jeez" I said "I don't want to do this" I screamed. I ran to the cell that Pierce had entered and started pounding on it. "Oh Cloud you can't follow directions can you?" He said "if I had my abilities I'd be in there right now bashing your fucking skull in" I said. I turned back around "please Cloud... spare me" they were all whining at me. "I can't take this anymore" I heard somepony yell "I'll let the eldest one be spared" the voice added before another gunshot was heard. "One of you four who's the oldest?" I asked addressing Trixie, Lunar, BlueMint, and Shoeshine. "Mom?" I asked addressing Lunar.  Cloud I'm only two years older than you" Lunar said "really you're only twenty five?" Shoeshine asked "oh and how old are you hmm?" Lunar snickered "twenty two, so I got years on you" Shoeshine said. "Damn it, if Trixie is thirty four then she's the oldest" BlueMint said "hah!" Trixie screamed "twenty three" she added "wait... BlueMint you're thirty three?" I asked "yeah so I guess I'm the oldest one..." he said "great, now get in your cell!" Pierce screamed, BlueMint resisted and charged at the cell Pierce was in. "Big mistake" Pierce said as BlueMint punched the bars, he was getting electrocuted. His body fell over with a thud "holy fuck!" I screamed, BlueMints cell door slammed closed. "This is why you listen!" Pierce screamed "the mother shall be pardoned" he said. Lunar ran back to her cell "what is this" I heard from the sky. "Celestia?" I looked up and saw the white alicorn "ohh another contestant" Pierce yelled. The camera shot syringes at Celestia and she fell to the ground "what just happened to me" she asked. "My dear princess, you've just entered the game" Pierce said "you're powers are gone" I said to her "you" she said. She approached me and sliced me with her horn "you've been nothing but trouble since I first saw you, now you make an attempt on my life and end my sisters, I don't even know what you did to Cadence or Twilight." She boomed causing me to back up into the wall "hey, hey let's just calm down for a second okay?" I said "I pardon the..." somepony started "n-never mind" they yelled. Celestia jabbed her horn at me and I dove out of the way. She was stuck in the wall, my adrenaline was pumping. The cut on my neck started to tingle... my blood was still acidic. Celestia pulled herself from the wall, "maybe I was too quick to judge you" she said. "Oh... well I'm glad you and me can actually talk" I said as she slashed her horn at me. My head was slashed and blood was dripping into my eye. "Ah fuck!" I screamed "it burns!" I yelled "hey Celestia, fuck you!" Snow Piercer screamed, Celestia walked toward her "and who are you supposed to be?" She asked "his sister, his lover?" She asked "actually all of us are his lovers... I guess, but that's not the point" Snow Piercer said. She hit Celestias horn and cracked it "what the hell did you think you're doing?" Celestia said kicking Snow Piercer, "taking one for the team" she said ramming her horn into Celestias neck. She was coated in crimson, Celestias body fell onto Snow Piercer. "Help me get her off" Shoeshine said to Trixie, they lifted Celestias body off Snow Piercer. "Get her horn" I said approaching them. "Why?" Trixie asked "just get it" I screamed, they hit it off her head and gave it to me. I put it in my mouth and started dragging Celestias body over to Pierces cell. I stabbed her horn into her stomach and tried to pull out her innards. "Cloud, what are you trying to do?" Pierce asked, I pulled out her stomach and put a small hole in it with the horn. I squeezed the stomach acid on the gate and it ate through it. I entered his cell "y-you can't do that... that's cheating, that's not fair" he said cowering in the corner. "Life's not fair" I said as he jumped on me "you're damn right" he said strangling me. My eyes went back and I stopped breathing, he jumped off my body and he went through the destroyed bars. I got back up and ran after him "Snow Piercer you're next" he said approaching all of them. They all charged at him and started beating him into the ground, Snow Piercer and Trixie kept stabbing him with their horns while Shoeshine was bouncing on his chest. I went up to his body "Cloud, you should be dead..." he said "yeah I should, but life's a bitch... maybe death will be better to you" I said smashing his head with my hoof. "Cloud... you have your abilities?" Shoeshine asked "yeah... guess his serum shit didn't work." I said walking over to Nightshades cell and hitting it. It didn't break but my hoof did "fuck" I screamed. "Damn it... use your fucking brain Cloud" I whispered to myself. I walked over to the charred remains of BlueMint and dragged his body over to NightShades cell. I cut out his stomach and pierced it with the horn and burned the bars. I went over to Pierces body, I spat on his lifeless corpse and dragged it over to my mothers cell and did the same thing I did to free NightShade. "What if he regenerates?" Lunar asked "he won't" I took out one of the syringes from Celestias body and injected him with it. I collapsed to the ground "I'm done..." I said, I died and I was proud to go. "Cloud" a voice boomed "oh fuck... I'm back here again?" I said, the red dragon was before me "not only have you destroyed Chrysalis but you've also destroyed the evil that plagued you" the dragon said. "You're going to be back in your body and you will have your powers as well as everyone who had powers that you know" the dragon said "I-I don't understand" I said. "I want to view your life as it happens, it's been quite an enjoyment so far" he said "goodbye for now" he said. I awoke in my body in the compound "what the hell just happened?" I yelled "Cloud... be quiet" NightShade was sleeping beside me. I got up and went around the halls, Snow Piercer was in her room tinkering with something on her table. "What are you doing?" I asked "oh, hey Cloud... I'm trying to figure out what this serum that Pierce used on us is." She said "I'm glad to see you..."  I said "Cloud... are you high?" She asked "what?" I yelled "you just said good night to me eight minutes ago." She said, I was staring at her... I never seen her with glasses. Did I need glasses? "Cloud, what the fuck do you want?" She asked "oh uhh, some conversation?" I said "go the fuck to sleep" she said turning back to her work. I left her room and went back into my bed, my life is finally in the right spot. //-------------------------------------------------------// Testing //-------------------------------------------------------// Testing Every day in the compound since I started talking I've had to undergo very many tenuous tasks. The first one was fairly simple, get the red ball without leaving any hoofmarks anywhere. Every day it was the same thing, get the red ball, accept it'd be different every time, the next time they added guards. I had to make sure they didn't notice me on top of getting the ball, the only problem was that damn alarm. If anything got close to the red lines surrounding the ball, it would go off, I had messed up the first six times but once I messed up I couldn't do the test again the same day. Every day it was different, I assume they were testing my memory, but I could've been wrong I finally figured it out on day nine. I made the guard walk into the red beams by throwing my voice all around the white and green stallion, I was able to recover the ball from the floor before he noticed it was gone, I was learning how to act in certain situations. They decided to move onto the next test, it was very surprising to me that I only had one try for this one, I guess it makes sense all things considering. It was getting late and I haven't  been given my second assignment yet. I was in my room eating  and having a celebratory glass of what I assumed was whiskey but it didn't smell right to me. "Ah shit" I said loudly, this was the test they were trying to see if I could notice the poison in my meal, I didn't realize it in the bread but why the whiskey. They ruined my perfectly good whiskey I heard a loud noise *shunk* I looked around and saw the air vents opening. There must have cameras around here monitoring me they know I didn't drink the poison, this however wasn't poison they were sucking away all the oxygen in the room causing my lungs To burn, I started to feel like I did back in the tube when I first awoke. Dying hurts I try to catch my breath but I can't as I lay on my cold cement floor dying, I try to comprehend why they raised me up to do such amazing things but now they were gonna kill me. I haven't even done anything wrong this must've been my test it was my only chance at this test and I was failing. Goddess fucking shit, I wish I stayed in that damn tube. Wait the tube, I started to pry my body off the floor, slowly I got to my hooves trudging into my tube and sealing myself inside. Finally I had some room to breathe as the vent system kicked on filling the tube with breathable air, I tried to stay awake but after not breathing for so long my eyes went dark and I fainted.
