Madness Overlord

Suzaku took a moment to swallow what happened in the course of that day. He knew that day was going to end very badly, but he wasn't expecting it to take this weird level of bad. Everything that he could classify as ridiculous was in front of him: He was turned into a pony and is now talking with a giant spectral eye that was looking at him from above. That creature was the one behind his transformation and kidnapping, and has his own reason to do so.

"I have to do what?" said a baffled Suzaku.

"You heard it, noob." said Balamos. "If you want get out of this world, you had to take down the Elements of Insanity."

"The Elements of Insanity?... Scary." Suzaku retorted with sarcasm. "Oh come on. Why you can't just let the Elements of Harmony to deal with them? Why i must be the one who had to do that?"

"Because the Elements of Harmony and the Elements of Insanity are currently the same ponies."

Suzaku remained silent to ingest what Balamos said. His brain was processing the connection that the eye made one second before he shouted.

"They are!?"

"I know your tastes about screw up various MLP stories, but unfortunately there's no conspiracy delight for you. They were corrupted, but not in the funny way of Discord."

"Ok, cut the bullshit. What is the gimmick?"

"One day the mane six were trapped into another dimension and were scattered in a zone nearby a hollow graveyard. As each one of them wandered in search of her friends, they were eventually possessed by a different ghost and turned into powerful, chaotic pony freaks by them. You should recognize these specters with the name of two groups: GMod Monsters and Internet Memes."

Suzaku's face contorted into a very annoyed one very quickly. He know what these two terms means. Which is why he suddenly felt the legit impulse to gave a intense death glare to the giant eye. It didn't matter if he was doing that on a powerful entity.

"That is getting more ridiculous and ridiculous. That must absolutely be a dream. It's just dumb!"

"Oh, for hell sake." Balamos said, groaning a little. "You know what? Screw it, i will give you a mental ride that you won't forget so easily."

Under Balamos' command, a red lightning suddenly struck on Suzaku. He yelled, but then realized that he wasn't feeling any pain at all except from that coming from his head. His sight was blinded by the red lighting's luminosity. Everything in front of him became red as various images of a gloomy past flowed in his mind like a river, so much that he could see them being in front of his eyes. Suzaku could barely understand what is going on. The stormy sound was replaced by a very uncomfortable chilling sound.

"That is surelly a good rush."

"Speak for yourself. These thoughts flowing in me are giving me a migraine... What is this!?"

"These images are mirrors of the past. A Echo of the horrors being born from a artificial grave. I would continue in this way, but i doubt that a waste like you could understand this kind of purple prose."

"Well, at least i'm not the creator of the bat madman known as Crazy Steve."

"Yeah, whatever. Besides, they were actually seven, not six."

"Wait, what?"

"Just watch the whole origin of their madness."

The images began to rearrange themselves in a constructed sequence. Suzaku could guess that they were showing him what happened to the Mane Six. There place of that mental scenario was a place filled with the night gravestones, situated in a place nearby a grim manor.

"Gravestones? I think this is the graveyard Balamos was talking about. So... is that Mann Manor?"

In some point of the graveyard, Rarity was there, standing in front of a gravestone with a red military hat on it. Suzaku could do nothing but watch how that scene goes.

"That must be Rarity. I know her characteristic. The classic aristocrat stereotype who is also a obsessed fashionista. I don- Suzaku was about finish his snobby explanation when he saw a ghost of a very large man floating out of his grave and started to possess the white unicorn, a scene in which he shouted bewildered "Wait, what?!"

"Is that ghost Rubber Fruit!?"

Rarity remained stuck in a very upsetting trance, accompanied by her eye briefly twitching. There was no change in her appearance, but then Rarity's face assumed a very psychotic look as she wears the red hat from before. Her transformation became more evident during her fight with some Red Team's rejects as her mane became multicolored, her hoof suddenly wearing a gauntlet and her psychosis became more shocking as she killed both of them with her new powers.

"This is the part were Rarity became a pony freak?"

The memories continued to flow in his mind, showing also the fate of the other ponies. The same possession and mind corruption happened to Fluttershy, then to Derpy, then to Applejack and the list goes on. Suzaku was confused to see Derpy, of all ponies, being one of the possessed ones despite her having nothing to do with the Mane Six. But that is something that he would have reserved for later.

"So this is how they they became monsters. I'm sorry, but the idea of the GMod freaks and the memes being actually characters is just inconceivable. How is that possible?"

"As you can see, one by one the Main Six were possessed and turned into dreadful abominations. The possession took a heavy toll on them as they had their minds fragmented and perverted to suit the needs of the monsters inside of them. Twilight Sparkle was their last victim, and the first one to have actually two souls being implanted inside of her."

"Two soul?!"

"Scary, huh?"

Twilight's corruption would be disturbing for Suzaku if there wasn't something that doesn't add up: She has no wings.

"Wait a minute. The Twilight that i'm seeing right now is a unicorn. She should be a alicorn at this point."

"There's a force who altered their fate, and is the same one who lured them in that horrendous dimension. He managed also to remove Twilight's alicornhood before sending her and her friends in that grim dimension. He was able to pull this off by going back in time, right one week after Starlight Glimmer's defeat, and start his plan from there."

"Oh boy. Now we have time traveling too? Are you telling me-"

"Yes, their fate leaded the entire Equestria into a alternate reality were Starlight Glimmer is not reformed, Chrysalis is still the queen of the changelings and the return of the Pillars never happened."

"Back to the Future much?"

The images were showing the final act of the six heroines and their own corruption. Twilight Sparkle has her soul fused with that of two other ghost freaks and became a alicorn, but not the sane one. Twilight was horrified for that one second before she finally give in and became Brutalight Sparcake, their murderous leader.

"Now that is really screw up... With sugar psychosis and trash names."

"You wouldn't laugh if they were in front of you."

"Don't make me think about it."

"At this point, they became victims of their inner monsters and thus the Elements of Harmony became the Demented Six, know also as the Elements of Insanity. Their own reason to live is to spread chaos and death wherever they go.

"This is a very fucked up story and i can't believe that i'm actually seeing it."

"Good to see that you had finally understood. And let me tell you on thing: They are planning to take over Equestria and corrupting Celestia and Luna as you can imagine. Just image what kind of world will they take as their next target."

"Are you implying that my world would be their next target!?"

"Not exactly, but they must be stopped as soon as possible."

After that, his sight became completely dark and the chilling sound finally ceased to rang. After a short time, Suzaku was where he was before. Standing on the grass with Balamos's giant eye form hoovering above the black sky. Suzaku was having a real migraine, so he took a moment to take a break while massaging his head.

"So let me get this straight. We have a murderous psychotic alicorn, a dreadful painkiller addict, a cannibalistic sugar-hoped speedster, a rainbow sonic cybernetic pegasus that looked like a mecha combination of every 90's Rob Liefeld comic books stereotypes ever, a greedy ruthless snob almost resembling M.Bison from Street Fighter armed with a enchanted deadly gauntlet, a yellow winged ear destroying menace, and a freaking Terminator Derpy! What the hell has Derpy to do with the Mane Six!?"

"Do you think i give a crap about it?" Balamos said annoyed.

"At least you should care about my actual position. You are asking me too much!"

"What are you complaining about?"

"What am i complaining about!?" Suzaku shouted. "You are sending me against seven overpowered psychos! I'm actually nothing in comparison!"

"That is not a problem. I will fix that right now... But you will not like my method."

"C'mon, douche. Where is the catch?"

"I will give you one hint through this question. Who is the entity who is currently possessing Applejack?"

"What kind of dumbass question is that? Ok, i know that Applejack is possessed by the Pills here meme but i don't know what are you trying to say."

Instantly a azure light flashed in front of him, briefly blinding him. In that fraction of blinding seconds a image of a sadistic young green haired man crossed his mind. He knew who he is. He saw him in a videogame.

"Yuki Terumi!?"

Suzaku realized the implication of that question. His sense of horror that chilled his blood was the obvious sane reaction.

"No, you can't seriously mean it!"

"Yes, i am."

True to Balamos' intention, a barrage of black lightnings was quickly falling on Suzaku as he quickly tried to escape. He was completely overwhelmed by that electric onslaught, powerless and screaming in pain. Oddly enough, the pain he was experiencing by the electric charge was almost nothing compared to the other one that burned inside his body.

"I bestow you with the power of the most terrific internet meme ever existed! But do not fear, as your sanity and soul would not suffer any change. As for your body.... well, that is another story."

In the middle of this storm, he couldn't even see his own transformation. His coat became a light green one, his red mane was colored in green and five clawed fingers came through each on of his hooves from inside. Though he wasn't feeling any change inside his mind, he could feel a tremendous power surging inside his body.

Once the storm ceased, Suzaku could be seen as he was left. Laying on the burnt grass with trails of steam rising from his fur. He could barely move due to being shocked multiple times. The only thing that he can do was crawling toward the puddle. Suzaku glanced at his own reflection, but this time he saw another pony. His form as a pony was the same, except for the change of colors and the claws on his bloody hooves, which wounds and blood were cleaned and fixed in one second. Suzaku's fear about becoming a Freak Pony was completely founded, but wasn't expecting this result.

He should be pissed off by this change, as being a pony wasn't enough. But he wasn't even mad at that point. Suzaku's mind was still normal, so no mental alteration is going on. However what he was feeling is not insanity, but pure frenzy. Feeling his energy being regenerated, Suzaku stood up on his two legs, like he was in his human form. Suzaku put his clawed hoof on his forehead, covering his right eye. He forgot all of his worries for a moment to embrace this arcane, intoxicating sensation. He couldn't help but laughing. After all a tremendous power was flowing inside of him.

Without any warning, a huge black sword heavily fell in front of Suzaku, who grabbed it with his claws and wielded it with ease.

"I wasn't expecting this happening." Suzaku gleefully said. "Now i'm just considering one thing. I just wanted to get out of here at first, but having the opportunity to beat the literal crap of some monstrous version of the Mane Six and others with a power like this? There's now way i would pass that."

"Don't get cocky. That is a gift that you shouldn't waste so easily. Ah, i have almost forgot. Yuki Terumi's power is not the only one thing that you have. You have also the power of his true form. I think his name was Susanoo."

"I was suspecting this coming. So what? Now i'm Suzanoo Terumi or something?"

"Forget it. That would be unbelievably stupid. Suzaku is enough."

Suzaku took a moment to examine his body, starting by his clawed hooves. These claws could be used as his pseudo fingers that he could use to grab something rather than do it by twisting his hooves around. They were very pointed, so he should be careful with them. He doesn't know why, but he has the feeling that his claw can do something else. He instinctively forced his claws to withdraw inside of his hooves as the holes that they left were suddenly closed. He then draw them out again, only to feel a sudden sense of pain.

"Ugh! Talking about Wolverine style."

"You should look like a normal pony, so not draw them out very often."

Suddenly multiple dark monstrous figures were surfacing from black pools formed in the grass. They looked like twisted hellhounds engulfed in black flames with green eyes and fangs made of steel. The top of their heads were literally opened as red flame resembling blood was burning from inside of it.

"What the hell are these RPG monster rejects?"

"They are part of the consequences of the rise of the Elements of Insanity. Their corruption spread a aura of madness across the dimensions outside their own. A aura capable to generate ungodly creatures name Mindeaters. There are only nine of them in front of you. That would be a opportunity."

These monsters were advancing menacingly toward Suzaku, who is actually eager to give them a proper retribution.

"You better asphalt these assholes."

Suzaku grinned in response to Balamos' affirmation. "You couldn't say anything better, mister president."

Suzaku charged his hoof with a surge of green energy and slammed it against the ground as the monsters were attacking him. The impact created a series of pillars of green energy erupting from beneath some of the creatures, instantly disintegrating them.

The remaining ones dashed toward him aggressively. He immediately slashed them in pieces in two swings of his sword. Only three remained, trying to assault him in circle. Suzaku quickly charged his sword with the same dark energy from before as he raised it high in the air and slammed it to the ground, bursting into a black-green pyroclasm that erupted around him, incinerating the leaping hellhounds.

That was obviously a test, so it was just a exhibition. But just as Suzaku was going to admire the results of his fight, a electric charge struck him, causing him to drop his sword and roughly collapse to the ground. He moaned a little from the pain as his body convulsed briefly.

"Ugh! What the-"

"I told you to not get cocky. If you needlessly abuse this power, if is not controlled very properly, the excess of energy will backfire depending of the abuse. From a tremendous power comes, you guess it, great responsabilty."

"WHY DIDN'T YOU MENTION IT BEFORE!?"

"I just wanted to see if you were too drunk with power to commit this mistake. I was right. "

"You are a real b-."

"Be grateful that your sword is the only thing that doesn't punish you for your mistakes. Look at the positive side. Since your power depends on your trolling abilities, your powers will get easier to use without difficult with the passing of the time."

"Grr... Whatever." Suzaku muttered while trying to stood up barely. "I will have some difficulty to deal with them if i have this kind of limitation."

"I know you wanted to beat the crap of the Demented seven, but there's one rule that you had to follow:
You will take them down without killing them. After their defeat, you had to purify them."

"Are you serious!?"

"You have also the power to do so. I know that you are not rotten enough to kill anyone."

"But they won't collaborate this easily!"

"In fact there's one way to make this whole ordeal very easy."

"You better tell me, Balamos."

Balamos' iris shrunken as to look at Suzaku with a ferocious intensity, putting him in a state of awe. Suzaku, in response, glared at him, trying to not show any fear.

"Give me an army. "

"An army you said?" Suzaku said surprised.

"I don't need a very colossal number of pony freaks. I just need nine or more of them, but to do that, you need to find normal ponies and corrupt them at the same way as the Elements of Insanity are."

"So are you telling me that i have to turn them into chaotic psychopaths as well?"

"Well dude, that is part of your job."

"Isn't that a very bastardous act?"

"Hey, your previous episodes of internet trolling are bastardous as well, so you have no right to complain about this. And even if you are right, i will not give a shit about it."

"Touche... ish." Suzaku said in annoyance. "But that equals to create more of these freaks. You don't make pretty much sense."

"Tell me? Have you seen Pacific Rim? In order to stop these monster we have to send other monsters against them, only more powerfull."

"Honestly this is a very stupid idea."

"Only if is not executed correctly. Remeber, is not important the form of a idea. Only in the way in which was developed is the real judge of all the outcomes."

"And i have to be the one who leads these crazies."

"I made you my herald for nothing."

"One question: How can i turn these unfortunate ponies into freaks?"

A green lightning fell from above and struck the grass in front of Suzaku. In it's wake, a black leather sack appeared in front of him.

"That how."

"What's in the sack?

"Your instruments of persuasion."

Suzaku lifted the black sack and felt it a little heavier. He was at least grateful that the spirit that is possessing him gave him a inhuman strength, but he could guess that the content was something very strange. There's must be some stuff made of metal, or so he thought. He opened the sack and looked inside of it to check the content.

He was perplexed to find eleven small iron coffins and a sheet with a constantly deforming bloodstain in the middle, which disturbed him a little. He putted that aside and tried to open one of the metallic containers, but even with his claws and his strength, that thing didn't seemed willing to open, much to his slight frustration.

"The coffins are sealed by some occult energy. They will open only the right moment."

"Well... Thanks for the vague explanation." Suzaku said while putting the coffin back to the sack and closing it "But i don't even know their content. Can you at least tell me what they contain?"

"You will know that when one of them is opened."

"Is really your intention to make my mission more difficult for fun, isn't it?"

"You had also seen a sheet, right?"

"A very creepy one, i will say."

"Make sure to give a look at it in the future. Believe me or not, that is the list of the ponies you have to recruit. It change his shape according to my will."

"You don't have any normal way to do so, isn't it?"

"I hope that you are mentally prepared for what awaits you.

"I get it. Is about the Mindeaters who are infesting Equestria as we talk."

"The only thing that the Elements of Insanity are indirectly responsible for. But that is not the only problem.
The time alteration caused by the unknown culprit drastically changed the present of Equestria."

"Yeah, about that guy. Do you know who he is?" Suzaku inquired.

"Unfortunately he was able to put his plans into practice outside my watch. His identity is still unknown to me."

"Seriously? You are a deity and yet that culprit managed to make this mess and lure the Mane Six toward their fate under your nose?" Suzaku said surprised by that apparent flaw. "That is very contradictory. How the hell did you know about it then?"

"After the birth of the Elements of Insanity, i looked at the stream of Equestria's timeline and found the alteration. The culprit's form was veiled by a force that made him completely invisible to me in every single frame of the time in which he was involved."

"Let's just say that i believe you." Suzaku said, scratching his head. "Really. Is always confusing when timelines explanation and their connections are involved."

"Keep in mind. Most of the things are not identical like in the TV show. You will also face some unexpected menaces and various traps. You have also to keep a cover and never mention my existence to anybody."

Suzaku began to understand the logic behind the giant eye. Surely, he doesn't know what Balamos has in store for him, but one thing is sure. Even a deity like him cannot be trusted. Suzaku hated to do that, but he had to follow his guide while keeping a eye on his intentions.

"Whatever.... Where should i start?" Suzaku demanded.

"You will take your time to digest what you had experienced. After you have recovered, i will open a portal that will lead you to the point where you start looking for your first recruit."

"Oh, really?"

"You better not get cocky. Your mission has just began. Try to not die, ok?"

After that, the giant eye disappeared into nothingness, leaving Suzaku in the middle of the surreal, darkened meadow. He remained motionless, taking his time to think about the crazy situation in which he's in. As being turned into a Freak Pony wasn't enough, he had to face go through a deadly journey if he wanted to return to normal and go home. Suzaku should be scared since he know what he's going into, but instead he was thrilled about that.

"Don't even think to troll me, Balamos. I will not be your pawn. However, i will follow your indication. Sure, being a pony is very insulting for a Brony manipulating troll like me but i don't think i have this urgency to return in the real world. After all i have only few friends and my parents were to busy with their job to even talk with me. But that is not a problem. Maybe this experience wouldn't be this bad."

From that moment on, Suzaku had no choice but to deal with this mess. However, since he liked the idea to crush the now corrupted Elements of Harmony with his new powers, maybe he could also enjoy this madness. Under the orders of Balamos, he was tasked to take them down and purify them. But what Balamos doesn't know is that Suzaku has his own way to deal with this story. Suzaku grinned, confident that he will emerge victorious from the ordeal.

That was the beginning of his own seriously absurd villainous journey.
