"Unexpected Fear"

"I'm partially pony in case if anyone didn't notice..." Sam and Dashie are together on a bench in Ponyville.

"Really? But you're a Dragon."

"Remember back when I was an Earth Pony?"

"Uh... No?" Samneo face palms and tries to hold back an earthquake of laughter.

"R-Really Dashie? You Serious!? W-Wait no..." Sam muttered the last part, Rainbow Dash smiled, she always does when he muttered. "Y-you don't remember don't you...?"

"Well... Uh... I do, but..." Rainbow stopped after, looking at Samneo, Neo looks away, eyes closed and a blush appears? She looked perplexed. Samneo rarely blushes,

"Don't tell me I have to tell an entire story?" He asked, just before he asked, he suddenly remembered something...

"It was one of those days where Slaughter would need more blood than he should" He thought.

'I... guess we're not gonna tell stories anytime soon.' Neo said roughly, sounding almost Australian.

Samneo and Rainbow walked in on Twilight, who was trying to ask Slaughter to release Starlight from a cocoon. It seems she wasn't doing so well convincing him.

"Hey Twilight! What's going on?" Rainbow asked. Twilight has an annoyed look.

"What does it look like?" Slaughter giggled devilishly at Twilight's annoyed tone, Samneo looks up at the Struggling Starlight above. Sam knows Slaughter, so he stepped up.

"Slaughter won't let go of anypony unless you switch them out." Sam said, Twilight raised an eyebrow.

"Really? Then who must we switch out in order to get Starlight out?" Twilight asked, Sam looks at Slaughter.

"What do you think?"

"Simple, simply put it: what's between light and dark?" Slaughter grunts, voice sounding like any grave robber.

Neo looks at Twilight, who's eyes are widening.

"You can't be serious! I got work to do today!" Twilight protests, Slaughter crossed his arms.

"What's better? My starvation? Or your work? Mare."

Twilight cringes, "Ugh... Fine, I'll volunteer..."

Later that day, Neo and Dash get some ice cream, the two sitting on a bench, though Samneo didn't look like he was enjoying himself. Rainbow takes notice and asked: "What's wrong big guy? Don't like the ice cream?"

"Uhm... Well, it's not the ice cream, I'm just not used to eating right next to somepony, I feel very insecure about myself." He followed it up with looking at nowhere, "Then again, The Sam part of me was ridiculous."

"Oh, uh heh, well- wait! What do you mean by the Sam part of you?" She asked questioningly. At first Neo got kinda shaky, but soon he sighed, "Well?"

He took a moment to relax, "It's just... I'm a little on the edge part of things when talking about the multiple personalities I have, I have Voss. Sam. And myself right now, Neo."

"Oh, that's pretty cool!"

"Yeah... It was, so..." There's an awkward silence, "Should we go and check on what Dragon they meant?"

"Yeah sure, ha ha... Why did we skip out again?"

"Uhm..." He stops and thinks, to tell the truth, he had no idea why they didn't react earlier regarding the "Dragon". He makes up an excuse. "Because I know that this was one of those days where Slaughter would drink your water, or rather-- your blood."

Neo and Rainbow went to where the commotion regarding of the 'dragon chasing me' nonsensical runaround was.

"What's going on?" Neo asked.

"There's the orange dragon that looks like you running around attacking ponies!" The pony said.

"No Kidding!?" Both Samneo and Rainbow Dash protest. The pony nods before running away past in between both of them.

The two look at each other, before walking into the area the dragon was reported. The two look around, the area seems to be empty, with the exception of Pipsqueak?

Neo and Dashie walked up to the little guy.

"Hey Scootaloo? What're you doing here? There's a evil dragon on the loose!" Rainbow looks at the filly before her.

"Yeah! There's one around here, but you're here...?" Sam said.

"Oh? I'm just here... Because I don't know..." She said, sounding... sheepish? The couple look at each other once more,

"Uh Sam? That was was getting weird, like, really, REALLY weird!" She said to Sam, Sam responded with: "Yeah I can see that, but how was this happening? Let alone necessary?"

"EXACTLY!" A new voice came from in front of the three, there was an Orange Dragon, he was the same body type as Samneo, only being shorter, and having blue spikes on his head, but no back dorsal spines, his eyes was green and blondish brown mane, his tail wasn't as long as Neo's, but was still at least the length of a small filly.

"Who're you?" Sam asked,

"I, am Judarak!" Sam's ears perked up at that.

"What!?" Sam protested, Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo's eyes widening.

"Yikes!" Scootaloo yelled, Samneo ran up to the Orange Dragon, looking at him closely,

"Judah? What-why are you doing here!? And why did you change your name?"

"How did you know my name!? I'm here to save my brother!"

Sam's eyes widened at that kid's accent.

"Wow, but I'm Sam..."

"Samuel!? Where were you!?"

"I know I was gone, but I came here to Equestria..." Sam pauses.

"It's to get away from me wasn't it!?" Judarak protests, Sam backs away, hands protecting himself,

"Please calm down bro!"

"You know that guy Neo?"

"Of course I know him, he's my little brother." Sam sighs. Judarak suddenly begins to freak out at Rainbow Dash,

"OH MY GAAAAAHHH!!! IT'S RAINBOW DASH!!! THE ONE PONY NO ONE SHUTS UP ABOUT!!!"

Sam and Rainbow Dash looked at each other, Sam having a bored look, Rainbow Dash has one too. Suddenly, someone else came around, the dragon was dark red and has silver hair, her eyes are brown and she was shorter than Sam, but taller than Judarak.

"Who're you?" asked the new dragon,

"Mom?" Sam guessed randomly.

"Samuel? was that you? And was that Rainbow Dash?" She asked, seemingly oblivious. Sam's eyes droop down,

"What does it look like?" Sam groaned, Rainbow was about to say something when she was interrupted by Mother, who was now glaring at Sam.

"HEY! Sam, don't act like that towards your mother!"

Sam and Rainbow look at each other, this was going to really bomb wasn't it?

The two make it home with the two new guests, Sam and Dashie reluctant on having them here, but of course Sam has to because to spend time with the good ol' family!

...Right?

Rainbow and Samneo look at their guests, as Rainbow makes tea and other stuff, Sam then shares talk with his two family members, Samneo holds his hands together, Rainbow gives his tea first, then to the guests, and herself of course.

"So... Uh... How did you get all the way here to Equestria?"

"Well, we were worried about you, so we received a map to reach all the way here. So ha-ha, how's your life here?" the mother asked. Sam rubbed the back of his neck, sipping his tea, he looks at Judarak questioningly,

"You were worried sick about me? Both of you? I thought you were okay with the idea of me being far away from here!" Sam points out. The two guests look at each other, gulping, it's almost as if they're either on to something, wanting attention, or they're trying to hide something...

"Um... Mam? Your name?" Rainbow asked.

"I'm Rikah. And that was Judarak, he's nine, Yeah," Rikah looks at the couple closely. "You two seem alike."

Samneo and Rainbow look at each other, seemingly confused.

"W-what do you mean by alike? He's depressed and I'm totally awesome!"

"I don't mean that, I mean by your language! That's a compliment!" Rikah said. Sam's eyes almost rolled into the back of his head for a split second.

Rainbow Dash looked at Sam for a second.

"Neo? You okay? You twitched like, a zombie!" She joked. Rikah looked over at Neo.

"Neo was what you call him? Nice pet name~" Rikah teased.

Sam grasped his head, wheezing slightly, Rainbow flew over to him.

"Sam!? You okay? What's wrong!?"

"J-just...! Her words...!" Samneo gasps. "I-I... just need a moment in my room..."

He got up and ran to their bedroom, Rainbow looked at Sam's mom, shrugging, she followed Sam.

Night was closing in. Sam panted as he lay on the bed, as Rainbow rubbed his back, Samneo closes his eyes, letting her hooves touch his scaly skin.

"Thank you..."

"Why did you run anyway?"

"B-because... Those words of hers, it's like, well... When I once heard them, I've always thought of them as being cursed... But now that I'm in Equestria, that's FILLED WITH MAGIC, Her words actually have effects..." He whispered.

"Woah... What's so bad about saying 'that's a compliment?' " Rainbow asked. Sam sighs in bitter defeat.

"I don't know. It's rouge already..."

Unknown to the couple, Rikah was hearing them behind the door, giggling to herself. She then ran over to the couch and next to Judarak.

"It's-" Before she could finish, Rainbow walked in.

"Well, Sam wants you two to leave..."

"Awww...." Judarak groaned childishly.

"What? What's his problem?" Rikah asked furiously. Rainbow sighs.

"He's been feeling bad lately, he doesn't want to talk to you in anyway or form."

"That's mean! How dare he!? Making his own mother leave!" Rikah got up, clearly annoyed with Dash's words, Sam walked in, glaring at his "mother".

"Look, mom, the reason-"

"No you tell me young man!" Rikah snapped. Causing Sam and Dashie to snap and cringe, "I know you're annoyed of me! But WHY are YOU making me leave!?"

"This was the most childish thing you've EVER said to me." Sam said, ready to burst.

"Well-" Judarak interrupted.

"Well Sam-" Rikah interrupted. "No be quiet Judah! You are telling ME to leave!?"

"GET OUT." Sam growled loudly, even catching Rainbow off guard.

Sam's mom then starts to glare.

"Sam! WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU!?"

"Drama queen." Sam snapped. "I said I want you to leave, I'M. SICK."

The two guests stayed silent, before they get up and walk out the door, Samneo takes a giant breath, larger than anything Rainbow has heard before in males.

"Sam... Let's get to bed. It's getting late..." She whispered. Samneo nodded, before the two made it to bed.

Morning comes...

"Good morning..." She whispered, Rainbow Dash was holding onto Sam. Sam, on the other hand, didn't look like he had gotten any sleep. Her hooves are wrapped around her boyfriend's chest, her face nuzzling into the back of his neck.
After a while, the two got out of bed, and decided to hang at Sugar Cube Corner.

Sam and Rainbow Dash are hanging out with Pinkie Pie, when Scootaloo arrived,

"Hey Scootaloo!" Sam asked.

"Hey Rainbow, and Samneo!" She responds,

"Well, ever sense that time Sam and I found that Orange Dragon named Judarak, we also found Sam's mom, haha... She's crazy" Rainbow Dash chuckles nervously. The next line from Scootaloo shocked everypony.

"What Orange Dragon? Sam's mom is here? I thought she was back at Sam's region, at least, that's what you and Sam told me.." Samneo and Rainbow Dash gasp.

"You don't remember!?" Rainbow looked at Sam worriedly, Sam's eyes softened, and his hopes rose mysteriously.
Sam and Rainbow leave the corner and go to find the two, they searched and searched, but oddly enough, they disappeared. The two were no where to be seen. The couple seem stumped, Sam shrugs.

"Guess they were just part of a bad dream..."

"You bet they must have!"

"HELP!" Somepony called.

"Ugh... Now what?" Sam mutters, Rainbow and Neo run to the scene, It's the mother of one of the colts in the school!

"What's wrong!?" Rainbow asks.

"My baby has been taken away by a orange dragon! They went behind that hill and into the Apple woods! I tried to keep up but I sprained my hoof!"

"Don't worry! We'll get your kid back!"

"Promise?"

"Sure" Both Sam and Dashie said, saluting, they go to , which happened to be the same one that Applejack owns.
Sam and Rainbow look around. That's when Sam, just about to give up on the search, picked up a familiar scent, the same one...

He follows the scent, as well as Rainbow following Neo. Neo then pushed the brush away, and saw Judarak, his belly almost giant! Neo's eyes widened in surprise, Rainbow spotted the scene as well, Sam put his hand in front of her.

"Stay here... Never mind, come come!" He whispered.

Sam then walked over to Judarak, who was burping a little. The orange creature looks over at Sam, almost in a entranced slur.

"Ohh Heyyy Sam..."

"Juda-a-r?" Sam trailed off, that's when he looked at the corner of his eye.

*Ba-bump*

There was a cowgirl hat on the ground, next to a cap with a propeller on top... At this moment, Sam's face was horrified, but his face was frozen at his normal expression, but with a hint of 'I'm ready to burst'. Sam growled in his throat slightly, Judarak looked at him, confused, Until Sam grabbed a tree branch, ripping it off the tree! Sam looked at Judah, fire present in his eyes, Judarak laughed a little, before resting his head back.

"What's up Sa-" Sam smacked Judarak on the head with the tree branch and with an audible WHAM!

"RRRAAA! SPIT HER OUT! YOU MONSTER! IT'S ON NOW!" Sam roared, Rainbow Dash noticed the hat, and joined the fight. Judarak threw some scratches on Sam's face and shoulders, but Sam grabbed Judarak's tail and lifted him above his head, Judarak's stomach gave way and his prey fell out. Applejack and the missing colt landed onto the grassy ground, Sam then swung Judarak like a baseball bat against the tree, back first, making Judarak's back curve at the shape of the tree. Judarak screamed loudly.

"Applejack!"

"Rainbow Dash! Aw sugar cube thanks..."

Sam then picked Judah up, Suddenly, the Mrs. screamer head that was Sam's mother shows up.

"SAMUEL! WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU!? HURTING JUDAH LIKE THAT!" Sam's mom yelled, Rainbow Dash, glared angrily at this pie-face of a mother, standing up for Sam.

"HEY! YOU SHOULD BE THANKING SAM! He saved my friend right here! And this other pony here!"

"Yeah! It's this orange dragon that ya should be yelling at!" Applejack yelled as well.

Sam's mother glares at the mares,

"I'm his mother! This has nothing to do with you! We're dragons and you're ponies! YOU'RE OUR PREY!"

Suddenly, Samneo whips around, eyes glaring deep into his mother's soul, everypony gasped at his next move, Sam slapped his mom, eyes glaring like the pits of anger. Sam's mom stepped back a little, struck with surprise.

"YOU'RE THE ONE WHO SHOULD BE YELLED AT!" Sam screamed at her, his lungs felt strained, "NOW LET'S GET THIS KID TO A HOSTPITAL!"

He yelled as he walked towards the exit, dragging his brother's tail. Everypony followed him out of the forest.

The colt was returned to his mother, and Applejack and Rainbow lead Sam to the hospital. He was at his brother's side, with the parent sitting in front of Judarak.

The door opened and Rainbow Dash with her friends met the two in Judarak's room.

"We came as soon as we heard! What's up Sam?" Twilight asked, after doing her work with Flurry Heart. Twilight was home free to do what she needed to do so. Sam placed his hand on Judarak's.

"Everything's gonna be okay bro. It's just... I-" Sam's interrupted by his brother, who begun glaring.

"I'M YOUR BROTHER! WHY DID YOU ATTACK ME!?" Judarak yelled.

"H-hey look... Judarak, you, put yourself into this."

"Samuel." Sam's mom spoke, "Are you telling me that you hurting him was his fault?"

Rainbow could punch this female in the face, as Rainbow grits her teeth, Sam closes his eyes in 'shame'.

"Why do you have to be so difficult?"

'ME? Being difficult?' his mom growled. "You're-"

"THAT'S ENOUGH!" Rainbow protests.

"NO IT'S NOT! SAM WAS GUILTY OVER EVERYTHING! AND I THOUGHT YOU'RE JUST SOMETHING MADE JUST TO BE EATEN BY HIM!"

Sam notices something that made his bones freeze. There was blood red powder on his hand, it's the same hand he used to touch Judarak, Sam looked at Judarak, eyes glaring as he grabbed Judah. Sam grabbed the top of Judarak's head, and pulled back as hard as he could, Everypony stepped back in horror, Judarak's head exploded and morphed into Vorita's!

She cackled in glee at Sam's findings. Vorita got out of bed, and ran back to Sam's mom, who was now ripping herself off like taking off a skintight suit, to reveal Molgovon in all of his glory. Molgovon grinned widely, knowing what he had done.

"Hahaha... Sammy? You weren't suppost to see this! You're only seeing the truth..." Molgovon whispers, Samneo stepped back, glaring.

"Molgovon!? W-why were you dressed as my mother!?" Sam asked, shaken by the situation. Molgovon chuckled darkly.

"I did so just so I can get into your mind. Don't you see? You're meant to be Mother's successer... And so you'll act like her... Being offensive, Being childish, and being oblivious of the world around her..."

"NO! She's not like that! I swear it! She's just doing what all Mothers do!"

Molgovon shakes his head.

"Oh that's not true Sam, Neo and Voss can't save you from me... You're mother was always pathetic, PATHETIC in her words, can't even tell the difference between a stain... And Sorsirina's markings..." Molgovon said the last sentence in a horribly slimy accent.

"YOU'RE not going to twist this mindset!"

"Twwist it? I'm doing what's right for you, and the right thing to do, is DESTROY her." Molgovon added a growling accent to the word 'destroy'. Samneo shook his head, not wanting anything to do with what Molgovon was doing.

"What makes you think I'll destroy her!? She's my mother!"

"Simple, she's just the one THING between you and Dashie... But then again, Vorita will have Dashie, and you can't do so. You're mother, how I portrayed her, was accurate to how and what you've envisioned her a while back... After all, I did so, to not only break any pacifism in you, but to show that you've been brain washed by the magic of EQUESTRIA, To add once more, what I've said earlier... You can't stop thinking about Vorita and Dashie now can you?"

Sam's eyes watered, his heart pounded, his heart rate going crazy, his body trembled, he's not used to these emotions.

"I hate you..." He thought.

"Y-y.... you're evil..." Samneo wheezed.

"No, I'm not. I've only showed your friends what the true Riaka was, and seriously? That's not even her real name..."

"And plus, I wouldn't want my maw around that ugly woman." Vorita giggled. Both Vorita and Molgovon laugh at Vorita's joke, but Molgovon laughed first.

"I-I..." Sam can't find the words to respond, "I'm not against her! I just--"

"Just what? Just run away from the one who cared for you? You're as broken as the system that your race has! How laughable it was... Seeing them get brainwashed by their brethren... It's too bad they'll be vanquished after you've reached your true potential..."

Samneo was now on all fours, shaking, tears on the ground, tail swishing side to side, it hissed at the mane six that try to help him.

"Y-you... But Molgovon you've got it all wrong....!"

"Neo!" Rainbow called.

"GUUAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Molgovon laughed. "DON'T. MAKE ME LAUGH!"

"REHEHE!" Vorita chuckled.

THAT DOES IT.

The tuft of hair at the tip of his tail, acting like a pony's tail, suddenly straightened up, and turned into a metal blade, in an arrow shape. Sam got up, fists for hands, fire for eyes, blade for tail, This caught everypony off guard, even Molgovon and his sister flinched as the small tuft of hair morphing into the silvery, razor sharp, knife-like blade.

"YOU'LL BE SILENCED!" Sam, in true speed, grabbed the nearby chair, swings in a 360 motion and slammed it onto Molgovon. Vorita's eyes widen at the sudden move. Samneo then grabbed her throat and smashed her head to Molgovon's, making the two headbutt each other, the two siblings turn to Sam, only to be greeted with Sam's tail spear, it was a direct hit on Molgovon's body, causing him to fling back, hitting the window, cracking it a little. Sam turned to his friends, eyes still flaring in anger.

"LEAVE QUICK!"

They instantly leave the room.

Sam then grabbed Vorita's hoodie and threw it over her face. Grabbing the two of them, Sam slammed them onto the bed, onto the wall, before throwing them towards the window, the sound of crashing of broken glass comes rushing fourth into the ears of everypony in the building, The mane six re-entered into the room, Sam was standing in the mist of broken glass, outside the window, shows Molgovon and Vorita running away, Molgovon in a think, dirty cloud, with Vorita in a red, dusty cloud, the two running away. Sam turns around, before spraying water at the ground, and smashing nearby items, letting his anger flow out. But after that, he falls to the ground, laying on his right hip, he bows his head tiredly, Rainbow comes to Neo, Neo stared at the ground,

"Neo?" Rainbow asked.

Neo in question placed his hand over his eyes, and begins to lightly sob.

"...I... Did a-all th-was..." Sam gasps in sadness. "I-I showed hate... for nothing... I-I... I am a disgrace...! N-now you have the wrong idea about my mother..."

Sam begins to sob a little harder now, everypony suddenly walked over to the two, group hugging them, giving Sam warmth and love...

In the Next Chapter:
Samneo hadn’t been feeling well after what happened, so Rainbow encourages him to relax...

Author's Note

I do have to say, this is my least favorite chapter so far.
