The Sins of the Wiseby TopHat DemonChaptersChapter 1Chapter 2Chapter 3Chapter 4Chapter 5Chapter 6Chapter 7Chapter 8Chapter 1Lost connection. A guard dressed in royal Cantrolot armour ran Down the hallway in a rush. It was only minutes they had lost connection to the squad. And the Cantrolot officials are going crazy. Weaving through the panicked Scientists, he made his way to a huge metal vault. With a quick couple spins on the wheel, it opened with ease but soon flung open. Hard pressurized air exploded out of the safe and hit him hard in the chest. Almost like a fan it blew him halfway across the room filling the room with flying pieces of paper. But it only lasted a few seconds before he moved from his position on the floor to the entry way to the vault. He entered the room, it was filled with white lights all aiming at the Spinning red vortex, giving off an ominous wind blowing sound. It was true... they found a portal to another world! He stared a it for a bit and then looked around at the scene before him. Ponies in lab coats moved away from the vortex and out of the room. But he didn’t leave with them. He wanted a closer look. He moved slowly towards the portal and began to hear things. Screaming, Gunshots, The cracking of the ground. And then the room started to shake, with a mighty force the metal frame of the Portal began to sway. The gaurd backed up away from the portal as it looked like it was spinning. With a crash it exploded sending the Gaurd against the wall. Screaming in pain, the explosion seemed to have burned his hooves. But they were still burning, fire licked his hooves inching its way further and further up his flesh. Soon he was enslaved with flames and burned alive. “Hello Equestria, I am Back!” A grim voice said, it started to laugh madly and soon inched its way out of the portal. “I was Killed once! I was Killed Twice! Now it’s time to Return the favor!” The grim Voice grew deeper and started to take form. It was the same form of a normal Stallion but with a metal jaw and glowing fires as eyes. His skin was cracked and blackend like it’s been burned thousands of times. Every step he took laid little bits of burning embers. Laughing hysterically he exited out of the room, but before he did so. He looked at the burned guards corpse. “Let me Just start off with a snack first...” “Oh-Come on! This is the third time you kicked my butt!” A Pegasus mare yelled in a frustrated manner. “That’s because I’ve been playing games since I was born!” A stallion, siitting next to the mare, explained. A moment of silence before another cry of vitcory from the stallion. “And...that’s why you don’t go down into the main area of the map.” The Pegasus frustratedly threw the controller away and pouted. “I don’t like it when I lose. Can you please just let me win, Pixel?” She muttered. “Hey! Nopony likes a Sore loser!” Pixel said in a manner that made him sound intelligent. “You better learn this, like I have, I used to be a sore loser too you know. There is nothing to be upset about Sunset Cloud.” She still sulked and muttered under her breath. A few seconds of silence before the doorbell rung. With a surprised face Pixel trotted over to the door. He fiddled with the lock and then opened the door. It was Petal Cord, Petal Cord was one of Sunset Cloud’s friends. The last year, when Pixel and Petal Cord first met, the events during the time led them into becoming good friends. She appeared to be holding a bag of stuff. “Uhh... are you goin’ to help me?” Petal Cord asked lightly trying not to drop the bag. Pixel grabbed the bag with his magic and set it on the table. Sunset Cloud moved from the couch, and basically jumped into the bag to see whats inside. “Phew! Thanks....” “Don’t mention it.” Pixel replied in a nice manner. “That’s one of the reasons why it’s good to have friends.” Sunset Cloud’s head popped out of the bag and pulled out a cookie in her mouth. Pixel chuckled and so did Petal Cord. Pixel let Petal Cord in and closed the door. “What- mph- brings ou hear?” Sunset Cloud mumbled, her mouth stuffed with cookie. Petal cord moved away from the table where the bag was place and looked around the room. “What a nice Place you got here. Any family home?” “Nah. Just me, well...for another hour.” Pixel replied walking towards the video game that Sunset Cloud and Pixel were just playing. Shutting it off with his hoof he made his way back to the two mares. Pixel’s brother and sister, Talon and Silverstone, both had teacher conferences which both of the Parents had to go to. “Good, ‘cause I was hoping we could discuss about last... year....” Petal Cord trailed off nervously moving her hoof around in circles on the wood floor. Pixel nodded and pulled up a chair to begin. Sunset Cloud moved silently up to the table. “What’s been on your mind recently?” Pixel asked ready to start up a conversation. A ping of Saddness stabbed his heart with each name Petal Cord Spoke. “Officer Sunside, Winter, Day Break, Buzzkill, Ash, and Caster.... They Helped us escape. They could have lived. A year later and we just thought of them!” Petal Cord said with tears in her eyes. Pixel stared hard at the thought, he had the perfect way to end this burden. “We all miss them too you know. And I don’t think it’ll be fitting if we don’t give them the service that they deserved!” Faces lit up as Pixel said this. “We will give them the proper way of saying goodbye!” Standing up, Petal Cord nodded firmly and so did Sunset Cloud. Pixel smiled slightly and trotted towards the door next to the kitchen. Opening it with his magic it reveled six gravestones. All with the squads names printed on it. “Let’s remeber them and their sacrifices. Okay?” Sunset Cloud said confidently. The gang nodded in return. Chapter 2“Are we Almost there?” Sunset Cloud pipped up hopping up and down in her seat. Pixel shook his head and rolled his eyes. They still haven’t left the train station. Petal Cord put a hoof on Sunset Cloud’s shoulder making her stop bouncing. “I know your excited, about going to Cantrolot and everything, but we have some important work to do.” Sunset Cloud nodded and skunked in her seat. Pixel chuckled to himself, “You sure do know how to Mother ponies around don’t you Petal Cord?” Petal Cord rose a brow. “I do have 3 younger Siblings, they are so hard to get them under control. Especially when I’m Foalsitting them....” Pixel nodded along as Petal Cord gave very detailed descriptions of her family. “You know I have younger siblings too. I’m the oldest of the family. I know exactly how you feel.” Pixel replied after Petal cord had finished talking. Just then the train jurked forward without warning. Sunset Cloud hopped with excitement as the train picked up speed. Now that the train has started to move, the gang grew quiet. Pixel picked up his headphones and put them on his head. Let’s just hope this is a peaceful ride. The sight of the castle of Cantrolot looked pretty awesome in the refelctance of the sun. Almost looks godly. Pixel stared at it with awe. Sunset Cloud has fallen asleep a few minutes ago, and Petal Cord was reading a book. The closer they got to the city the more details Pixel saw. The train station was just in sight and he nudged Sunset Cloud awake. “We’re here sleepy head. Get up!” Sunset Cloud shifted her head slightly and yawned. Blinking awake she got out of her seat and stretched, Petal Cord put her book away in her bag. The train officially came to a screeching stop. “Anypony getting off at Cantrolot, you may please exit the train.” The conductor said through the loud speakers. Like a wave, the ponies started to leave the train. Pixel moved through the train silently, walking slowly so he won’t bump into another pony. Soon the train left and disappeared in the distance. Pixel looked at the train station. It was fancy almost, not exactly filled with golden outlines but it must have cost a lot just to bulid. A few gaurds stood at the gates entering into the city. All of the, checking the passengers bags. “Come on Pixel!” Sunset Cloud tugged at his hoof with her’s trying to get him to follow her. “We’re almost here!” Snapping out of his daze Pixel turned to Sunset Cloud and nodded, being half dragged by Sunset Cloud’s excitement. A guard stopped them before entering the city. Pixel sighed and asked politely. “Are you going to check our bags?” Rising a brow the graud nodded and grabbed the bag rummaging through. Silently Pixel stood and watched as he rummaged through the other mares bags before finally, bringing the nod of approval, opening the gate. Sunset Cloud’s wings fluttered with excitement as she zoomed into the city. Pixel and Petal Cord ran after her. Pixel, was able to catch up to the speeding Pegasus clamping on her tail with his magic. Sunset Cloud huffed before being brought down to the ground. “While we’re here you better stop doing that.” Pixel said panting. He never liked running. “Should we get going?” Petal Cord said suddenly walking up behind Pixel. Pixel nodded and pulled out six little stones with his magic. The group instantly became silent. Those were the gravestones they were going to imbed in the ground at the Cantrolot Cemetry, they were shrunk to get past the guard in the front of the city. Pixel, using his magic once more, made the stones bigger with each second, when the time is right he will teleport them to the Cemetery. With a bright flash of light the gravestones disappeared. “Glad we got to say our respects. Let’s just hope no pony noticed.” Petal Cord whispered. Something tapped her side, it was Sunset Cloud. She was looking at the castle in the distance. Her eyes told them nothing more than to go see it. Smiling Pixel and Petal Cord walked towards the castle as Sunset Cloud ran beside them. The entrance of the castle was huge. Not a lot of ponies were near because they were being excused from the guards. Pixel looks to his left and to his right. He has heard about the guard placements from his father when he used to work in Cantrolot, usually there should be three guards positioned in the left corner and the right corner both near the entrance. Instead their all spaced out, two at the door and about a few feet away another guard stood. This was a specific guard position, one for protecting. With a sigh he walked up to the entrance of the castle, Petal accord and Sunset Cloud tried to pull him away but he refused, when near the entrance he got stopped by both of the guards. “Halt! State your business!” They said almost in unison. Pixel merely stood there looking for an answer. Something was off about this place and he was going to find out. Clearing his throat he spoke in a almost royal tone. “I’m Messenger Winter of The Crystal Empire and I want to give a clear letter from Princess Cadence to the Princess of the Sun, Must I say it is very important!” One of the guards looked suspiciously at Pixel, And the other one looked at another guard who was nearby. “Don’t do anything Suspious, we’ll walk you in.” The guard to the right said in a nuterual tone. “If this message is about the Incident then Princess Celestia will read it throughly.” Pixel rose a brow and spoke once more, “My dear sir, I am merely dismissive of the fact that this incident Is true. Can you please shed some light?” Out of the corner of his vision he could see Sunset Cloud and Petal Cord in the distance watching. He was going in without them he will have to tell them somehow. “If as long as you don’t tell anypony, and I mean AnyPony about this, for I trust you being the messenger of the Crystal queen. Can you follow me.” The guard replied. Pixel turned his head and given a hidden wink at the two mares before entering the building. Now all he needs is a letter. Author's Note After a long time I finally came out with the second chapter of this book. Hope you all enjoy. Chapter 3The Royal Controlot castle was buetiful in the inside, the fact that the lobby was bigger than his home in Ponyville truely surprised him. The guard spoke as they walked towards the entrance to the throne room. “A couple days ago it one of the most secure Facilities in Cantrolot, had a accident, the facility blew up turning it and a five mile radius into a Burning Hell. You can say it wasn’t an accident but they haven’t proved that yet. But for one thing, the facility was just outside of Cantrolot and for some reason the Crystal Empire wants to talk about it. I don’t know how fast the word travels and this tells me that it’s fast.” Pixel nodded along, the guard was so caught up in telling what happened, that Pixel snuck in a letter based on his information. He could tell the guard hadn’t noticed. Just hopefully the Princess Would believe it. They were getting closer to the door when a older mare came forward. She was dress in a black suit sunglasses positioned in a official stance, she looks professional. “Exscuse me, but I thought we told you not to bring any unwanted civilians into this time of crisis!” “But, this is-“ the gaurd was interrupted by Pixel. Who stood in front of the Guard and cleared his throat once more. “Madam, My name is Winter, And I’m a messenger from the royal Crystal Empire. I’m here to give Princess Celestia this letter from Princess Cadence. This guard showed me in. There is really nothing to worry about. Only this letter in hoof.” Without warning The Mare grabbed it with her hoof and opened it up. A ping of anxiety hit Pixel hard, hopefully she dose t find out its a fake. He gave a sigh of relief when the Mare returned the Letter back to Pixel, that was only a warm up. “You may go in! Don’t do anything suspicious or we will burn you like your in Hell.” Pixel chuckled to himself, “I already did that.” He shut himself up immediately realizing what he just said. The Mare gave a Pixel a look and returned to the side where other ponies stood. The guard sighed and pushed open the doors with his magic. The throne room looked to cool, fit for a king, or Princess Suited this statement. Further down the corridor was a tall skinny alicorn, The wings hugged her side like all Pegasi do when they are not flying. Her mane was a rainbow, literally, and was waving. Pixel felt like he was going to die, He’d never seen Princess Celestia in pony before. But she seemed to be talking with another official. “We’ve given you the correct amount a security, during the event. Don’t tell me you needed extra.” She exclaimed with correct authority. A stallion, dressed also in a official manner, spoke in a angry tone. “Not only have we lost some of our guards in the explosion, but we have also lost connection to to the squad that you authorized to take part in this experiment. We don’t even know if they are still alive!” “I might have the authorization as Princess of Equeastria, of the sun, but I knew that the ponies I’ve sent you were the best of their class and their names won’t be spoken in vain.” Silence for a few moments before the meeting came to a close and the Stallion left the room. Princess Celestial turned slightly at Pixel and the guard. Before fully facing them in a present manner. Pixel’s heart pounded, he thought he was going to explode. “Ah, you must be the messenger from Princess Cadence. Winter? Is it?” Pixel sputtered slightly trying to answer. He was amazed in seeing her in pony, but he was also afraid of her. Like big time. “Yes Ma’am...” Pixel levitated the letter towards Princess Celestia who toke it in her magic. As she read she watched her face change from a slight smile to a frown. What was she thinking. “This letter, from Princess Cadence? That can’t be I already spoke to her just last night. This-This isn’t even her hoof-writing....” she trailed off looking towards Pixel and back at the letter. She found out. “Guard! seize this this liar at once!” Pixel’s eyes widened and looked to his side, the guard to him gave a glance and pulled his spear in a ready position. Ready to strike. Pixel backed away as more guards entered the perimeter. The princess spoke again in another angry tone. “I bet your name isn’t Winter, weather or not.” “You got me! Just put the spears down!” Pixel said backing even further backing up against the glass windows. “The name’s Pixel! Please just don’t hurt Me!” He saw a face change from one of the guards and so did Princess Celestia. “Did you just say your name was, Pixel? As in the incident at Ponyville Highschool Heights?” one of the guards spoke up pulling the spear away momentarily. Pixel smiled and confidently moved foward, with each step it drove the guards to back up, Pixel looked out the window and sighed. He was going to do something stupid, he always does. “As you see the incident here is sort of like the incident in Ponyville. A massive massacre, A loss of money. Everything almost. The squad that you spoke of during your meeting. They’re dead,” even more face changes happened as soon as he said that. “You don’t even know the-!” The princess was cut off from Pixel. “-Officer Sunside, Winter, Daybreak, Caster, Ash, and finally Buzzkill! Squad number 22-445 sent to destroy the known factor of every mistake and punishment to every pony here! They died trying to save us all from death and destruction....” Princess Celestia opened her mouth to speak but she was cut off again. “Yeah I know everything! You know why!? Because the one thing that this portal Did was transfer them into a world of Hell. Take it from me! I’ve been to Hell! I saw them die trying to protect us and doing their mission!” Princess Celestia was speechless. Did Pixel really made the Princess of Equestria speechless. The silence made Pixel uncomfortable. A few seconds later the Princess ordered the Guards to stand down. One by one the guards put away their weapons slowly not sure if they want to leave Pixel defenseless. Pixel gave a sigh of relief. “We... have caught something on the camera’s. During the event. Something none of us here can understand, But you seen Hell, And I’ll like you to prove that. Princess Celestia said ushering Pixel to another room down to the left next to the throne. Pixel hesitated and quietly trotted over to her. The door was small just enough to fit Pixel’s and Princess Celestia’s head as they entered the room. It was a Control Center, monitors shown black and white Pictures of hallways and large Rooms. Pixel walked up to one of them who had an image of a pony, looking at the camera. The thing was, was that it resembled a pony. Chapter 4“That’s no ordinary pony....” Pixel stared leaning in closer toward the black and white screen. He pouched a numbers and keys on the keyboard opening up the code. “Ah, this will give us a better look.” He said re-typing in a piece of code. Princess Celestia watched him carefully. Letting a stranger into her castle made her feel uneasy, Ever since the incident. She thought back for a moment, actually, that’s why the guards are like this too. They got fooled by a few simple tricks and lies by a young stallion. To that She smiled to herself. After a few seconds the black and white screen filled with color, and the picture was even clearer. “This...This isn’t a pony a all!” Celestia said in a aghast tone. Pixel looked scrutinized the image before playing they tape. If this monitor has different screens showing different places then there must be a tape that has to record it. He sighed and replayed the footage. If there as sound it would have felt like a nightmare, papers flying everywhere, Ponies running in all directions but mainly towards the exit. Some guards who were in front of the room, looked at each other as they ran and held open the door. But one guard took Pixel by surprise. He was running towards something that the camera can’t see. It was out of range. Pixel looked at another screen. The same guard rushed towards a door that looked like a vault door. “I would at least look through the window first beforehand I go through there.” Pixel commented while he watched, the princess gave him a weird look. “Why would you say that?” “Let’s just say that everything you do has a consequence, not that I believe that.” The guard was finally able to open the door, as he done so, a few more guards rushed out the vault, and so did a few more ponies wearing lab coats. But the guard still walked through the door into the room. Pixel shook his head as, what they call, “The Portal” looked like a big disc of a swirling colors. But something look odd about right off the bat. The rim of the Portal Sustaning it seemed to look like its... Melting. The guard froze looking at the Portal. A few seconds past. Pixel back up away from the monitor and winced as the room exploded like a giant fireball. The guard nowhere to be seen. Maybe burning next to the door. Pixel looked toward the door. Yep there he is. Taking his eyes off of the burning pony, he looked towards the Portal Once more. “You hear that noise?” Princess Celestia said looking around. Pixel had heard it earlier but just ignored it. But now something must have amplified within minutes because it was audible even outside of the room. It was a high pitched ringing sound. Pixel focused on the monitor, at the Portal. Something was coming through. Without warning the camera captured a huge white flash, Blinding Pixel with huge intensity. “Ah! Holy... Why!” He screamed in pain covering his eyes. After a minute of closing his eyes, he opened them to see if they still worked. Gladly after a few seconds his vision came back to normal. “Oh, Ow. That... gave me a heart Attack.” He breathed steadying his heart. He looked back at the monitor once more and noticed something moving. He looked closely at it once more. The mysterious stallion. Looked as though it was wear metal armor, the skin of this pony looked burnt, and the mane looked like a wave of rushing magma. Like the kind Princess Celestia has but with a fiery substance, But the one thing that Pixel caught about this pony set his heart ablaze in anger. His lower jaw was metallic. Pixel fainted to the floor. “Oh gooddness! Please... we need... med...iCal....assi....” Pixel didn’t hear the rest before he fully blacked out. Outside, Petal Cord and Sunset Cloud sat in front of a restraunt right next to the Castle. Petal Cord paced around the table, while Sunset Cloud was eating a Pizza. They haven’t heard a word from Pixel since he entered the Castle. Petal Cord thought of the consequences that could happen if Pixel was caught. He could be executed, sent for life in prison, the possibility’s were endless, and all she had to do was wait. She quickened her pace around the table. Was she really worrying too much about Pixel? Her head started to spin. But then she was topped by Sunset Cloud who was poking her with her hoof. “What?!” Petal Cord Groaned loudly, clearly showing the frustration of the situation. Sunset Cloud pointed towards another pony who was waiting by the door to the inside of the restraunt they were sitting at. The pony wore a apron and a chef’s hat. Petal cord walked up to him with slight intimidation. “I got a call for Petal Cord, if that is you?” He said, “somepony named, Pixel, Wants to speak to you.” Petal Cord instantly ran inside towards the phone at the other end of the restraunt. She picked up the phone and held it to her ear. “Hello?” She asked hoping Pixel was still there. A few seconds before another voice spoke on the other end to the line. “Hi, Petal Cord. Wait! before you say anything. I need you to do something for me. I’m clearly fine I’m just past out on the floor an-“ the voice was cut off short. “-Pixel... Oh My Celestia! Your ok. But you say your past out of the floor then how are you calling me?” “Let’s just say I’m out of my Physical body for only a short time. But listen, I found something that only you and Sunset Cloud could understand.” “What? Is it another shooting?” “Can you let me say it! Remember a year ago. In Hell. The demon?” “Yeah.” “I think we should get out of here, because he is in this world!” The phone went static as soon as Pixel finished his sentence. Petal Cord froze in shock. He’s here, The demon, the one who killed everypony. Her head was spinning even faster. They got to run, no hide! She can’t decide because either way somepony is going to die. She hung up the phone and quickly ran out the restraunt, she meet Sunset Cloud who was still eating her pizza. “Quickly we have to get out of here!” She called to Sunset Cloud pulling her away from the restraunt. Without hesitation they ran past a crowd. BOOM!! The deafening sound of an explosion rocked the ground as the Crowd ran away screaming in a terror. The Devil’s first Killing spree. Chapter 5Pixel opened his eyes to see himself in the monitoring room. Celestia had looked down at him on the floor. A shocked face could be seen. He had just gotten off with Petal Cord about the thing. He sat up with wide eyes. Jumping up his hooves he turned to Celestia who was aiming her horn at him. “You will tell me where you gone! Tell me now!” She said before charging her horn ready to fire. Pixel gasped as the ground rocked the earth. Something is making it shake. EarthQuake? Can’t be an earthquake due to the time it stopped. An explosion? Yeah that’s a possibility. Pixel ran towards the window and looked out to the city smoke was flying high into the sky. Fire burned around a few building and there was a giant crater near the castle. Yep, there was an explosion. Petal Cord’s head throbbed as she termed to get up. Pain shot through her head with each moment of movement. Sunset Cloud was nowhere to be seen. She must be somewhere. She looked up, And then looked behind her. Nowhere. A mare whom she didn’t recognize ran to her and pulled her up to her hoofs. She could not hear what she was saying, because it was all muffled up. Pushing her pain aside she looked around once more for Sunset Cloud. Everything was happening so fast that is seemed like it was in slow motion. She felt dizzy. The mare looked as if she worked at a farm. But maybe that was because her vision was blurry. “Sunset Cloud?” She called, ignoring the farmer earth pony who was tugging at her skin to get away from the fires. “Sunset Cloud!” Sunset Cloud’s body slumped against the walls. She cried out in agony. Her head was aching and her ears were bleeding from the explosion. She coughed up blood. She had to get out of here. She tried to open her wings but she couldn’t. She cried out even more, looking at her back, her wings were broken. She’s can’t fly. She was only able to crawl about a foot when she got picked up by magic. The only reason she could tell was because she was hovering over the ground going faster than she can crawl. She looked the way she was heading. The unicorn using this spell, was a white mare with purple mane. Another unicorn was In sight but it looked like she had wings. She was losing a lot of blood, she thought. “Quick! get her to the hospital while I go talk with Rainbow Dash about the fires!” Rainbow Dash? “Just be safe Twilight, I’ll take this poor innocent soul over to the hospital with no trouble at all, just go.” She wasn’t lifted up by the magical spell as she was hovering her way towards the hospital. She had to ask the unicorn something. “Excuse me miss. But where are you taking me?” Sunset Clouds voice was weak, but still can be heard. “And can I also get a name and what your doing?” “Sorry for my manners. The Name’s Rarity. And I’m taking you to the hospital after a deadly accident.” She started into a run. “Your bleeding, and magic can’t hold onto blood for more than a few minutes.” Great. A unicorn with a knowlege of how to save a ponies life. Can’t see any sarcasm in that. Never mind there was a lot of sarcasm. But the name Rainbow Dash sounds Fimiliar. Pixel stared down into the burning flames, his friends were down there. He looked around the accident, looking for his friends. He gave a sigh of relief when he spotted Sunset Cloud getting carried by a unicorn’s spell. Judging by the direction they were traveling they were heading towards the hospital. “If Sunset Cloud’s alive then Petal Cord’s alive.” He mummered to himself as he scanned the wreckage. A click sounded behind him. He turned around slowly to find himself at gunpoint. Guards were around him each holding a spear except for the one in the middle who was holding a shotgun. Princess Celestia glared at him. He’s in trouble now. “Pixel? Are you responsible with the Explosion? If you dare tell a lie we will execute with hesitation.” As soon as she said that the guard with the shotgun grabbed the pump of the shotgun. “No I’m not. I noticed that you were on edge when I saw the guard line up in front of the castle. My dad... has taught me about guard stances and positions when he worked at the royal guard.” “What’s you fathers name?” Celestial asked, a quizzed look from her face. “His name is... uh. Dammit I forgot!” Pixel tapped his hoof in frustration. How could he forget his own Fath-, “Oh its, Firestater!” Princess Celestia’s glare brightened from newer rage. Does she know Pixel’s Father? Princess Celestia Flinched when the door of the throne room opened. A mare with a purple coat and dark Purple mane, walked in, in a student like manner. She instantly flushed of color upon seeing Pixel at gunpoint. “Princess Celestia, What are you doing?!” She yelled, but not in an angry tone. She was smaller than Celestia, still an alicorn though. She looked familiar. Like he’s seen her before. “This fiend has breached our defenses. Guiding our gaze away from this act of Destruction!” Celestia answered royally. The Mare again said. “You don’t know if that’s true!” She looked at Pixel, who was backing backing up against the wall. “He might have snuck in here when you guys weren’t looking. That does not mean that he is responsible for destruction.” “Oh, Your Princess Twilight Sparkle! Princess of Friendship!” Pixel gasped out loud, every eye was on him. “Please you understand that I don’t mean it! I just saw your defens- Ack!” He stopped getting hit in the face with the butt of the Shotgun. He fell onto his knees and held his jaw. He pulled his hoof away from his face showing blood. “Princess Celestia! Please, he is innocent! If we could just make a compromise, Please! Just don’t hurt him!” Twilight said again almost begging. Pixel had read about Twilight Sparkle in the newspaper and most biographies. She’s was a fearless, student of Princess Celestia. And she begs for one pony’s life. Twilight, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow dash, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie are all of her friends, and the hero’s of Equestria. Pixel already put the thoughts together in his mind. They need Pixel’s help. Author's Note Hi. Just Want to know if the book is good, if not... then I don’t care, I’ll write more and better. Hopfully. Thanks for reading. Chapter 6Pixel stubbled out of the throne room by the magic of Twilight Sparkle. The Two Princesses did make a compromise. Pixel Got up Stifly and turned to see Princess Twilight. She walked past him slowly and offered him to follow her. Pixel followed. “So what Exactly are you going to do with me?” Pixel asked, as he walked next to Twilight. Twilight gave a slight smile and then replied. “You survived The Highschool Incident, Right?” “Uh, yeah. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t be here would I?” Twilight gave a slight chuckle, she then calmly opened the door exiting the Castle. No guards were in sight. Pixel had the urge to ask her another question, by the time he opened his mouth to say something he got pinned to the wall with magic. Twilight’s Faced closed in on his, anger setting into her eyes. “How did you do it?!” She yelled, Pixel opened his mouth once more but got cut off again. “You snook into the most fortified Fortress other than the Crystal Empire. How did you do it!” Pixel, shook out of Twilight’s Magical Grip with, ease? That was easy. Pixel moved quickly and close down the gap pushing Twilight against the wall with his magic. “Look, I didn’t do anything out of the ordinary. Yeah I might have snook past these paranoid guards, that’s because they were expecting somepony who knew how to handle the situation. They trusted me. And I think it’s called helping!” He stared at her eyes angrily. “I was just testing your power.” Twilight said suddenly Teleproting out of Pixel’s magical Spell. Pixel gasped. She teleported right next to him and continued to walk towards the crater. Pixel looked at the corner of his eyes, he turned to the left and saw a familiar face. It was Petal Cord. He ran towards her. “Petal Cord!” He yelled, getting her attention. She spun around and gasped, she started to run after him as well. Together They hugged each other in a loving Embrace. “Oh, Sweet Celestia You’re okay!” She said with tears streaming down her face. “Glad to see that your not hurt... Where’s Sunset Cloud!” Pixel replied looking around. “Wait! how could I forget, she’s at the hospital.” He turned to leave but was stopped by a orange Farm Mare, wearing a Cowboy hat. He tried to push by her but she bucked him away. He looked around, Realizing that they were surrounded by 5 other ponies. Inculding Twilight. “Okay, What Do we do with em Twi!” A Rainbow maned Pegasus said, flapping nearby them. Pixel recognized her, but couldn’t put his tounge on it. “We are not here to Punish them, Rainbow!” Twilight said sternly, “We need their Help!” Pixel Held a hoof and said in an clear tone. “Uh, can we go see our friend now!” Twilight Stared at him and nodded, Pixel And Petal Cord Ran towards the hospital The 6 mares surrounding them followed. They reached to hospital and flung open the door, many doctors were rushing around. He ran to the mare at the front desk. “We’re here to See Sunset Cloud!” Pixel said, the mare nodded and ponited at the door to the left. Pixel ran towards the door, but hesitated when he tried to push open the door. Before he did so, he knocked the door twice with his hoof. A set of hooves trotted up to the door, with a click the door opened slightly. It was a doctor with a facial mask on. Petal Cord asked the doctor in a pleading voice. “Is Sunset Cloud in there!” The doctor looked back into the room and returned to Petal Cord. “So that’s her name, she was brought here by a unicorn. Never asked about this Pegasus’ name because she was already in critical condition.” Pixel gave a sigh of relief. He asked in a solemn voice. “Will she be alright?” “To hard to say. Her wings are broken, and she had lost a truemendous amount of blood, but we got her stabilized.” The doctor replied. His eyes shifted uneasily, he wasn’t entirely sure! “Please, if you must to see your beloved friend in fresh condition, I would suggest that you leave.” Even with the sound of so many doctors rushing around and nurses asking for some assistance. Pixel could hear the Door to the hospital fling wide open, Twilight and her friends are here. Pixel nodded respectfully and let the doctor close the door. “Petal Cord. Be quiet and follow me... we have company.” Pixel whispered to her and walked to the hallway to the right. Petal Cord, hesitated, before following him through the crowd. Pixel could hear Twilight’s hoofsteps get faster, they are right behind them. Pixel tore around the corner, but not in a running manner. Too many ponies, he didn’t want to make a havoc. Pixel found a exit by the back of the hospital. Together Petal Cord and Pixel exited out of the building. Only to get stopped by the same 5 ponies from before. “Pixel! I thought you knew what you were doing!” Petal Cord hissed quietly looking around at the 5 ponies. “Well I wasn’t expecting them to be out here!” Pixel replied in a quiet salty tone. The Rainbow maned Pegasus glared at him, she’s ready for a fight, Pixel knew that. While the orange farm pony looked menacing, ready to ride a rodeo. The one to her right was a pink Earthpony, mane like a party had set off. He turned his head to his left, a Pegasus with a creamish color of fur stood in an almost shy stance, but looks can’t be diseving. The unicorn caught his eye. There was a little blood on her fur and she was trying to wipe it off franticly with a white towel, that must be the unicorn that brought Sunset Cloud here. Silence crept in, Twilight has entered the peremasis. Pixel slowly turned around. “No need for a attack stance girls... he’s here to help us.” Twilight’s voice sounded off to the rest of the mares. They stood their ground for a few seconds before relaxing. Pixel felt uneasy. “What Exactly do you want? You didn’t just save me from death for nothing you know.” Twilight paused at the door and stated in a royal tone, “I’m the Princess of Friendship, am I not? I would have gladly saved you, if I would’ve known about it in the first place. I was just there to confront Princess Celestia about the accident.” She smiled. Pixel winced, that was a nice burn. Pixel looked around at the ponies. “Am I getting paid?” Pixel asked. The pink earth pony giggled. Twilight gave a sigh and shook her head. “I think that is the one thing I can’t provide, we could just use your friend here instead of you. After all you both survived the accident in Ponyville.” “I would gladly do it. Even if I didn’t get paid.” Pixel retorted, and smiled at the mares. “So... Can We work or not?” Chapter 7“Before we go we must really say what our intentions are at the moment.” Twilight said using her magic to teleport a file into her magic. “Now that we know what we’re after, we can step into phase 2 an-!” She got cut off from Pixel. “Wait now hold on a second! What Exactly are we after?” Pixel was leaning against the hospital wall, Twilight sighed angerliy and replied in an annoyed tone. “Just read this file!” She threw the File into Pixel’s levitation spell. Pixel read it, there were a few Pictures and charts, but the thing that caught his eye was the fact that He was in it, and So was Sunset Cloud and Petal Cord. This file was dated back to the accident a year ago. He flipped the photos around inspecting it. There was a little note at the bottom of the file. It read, 2017: December 5th Three survivors Left the premises Unicorn, Male Pegasus, Female Earthpony, Female “What Exactly is this about?” Pixel asked again, he was getting impatient, Petal Cord and the other Friends of Twilight has already left for Ponyville. “This right here is what we’re after.” Twilight Replied pointing at another section of the page Pixel had not read yet. 2018: January 15 School being repaired back to origin design. The Construction Ponies has confessed a sudden urge to stop working, this lead to a defect in volunteers to rebulid the school. Some seeing a fiery substance staring at them from afar. Some who have seen this being are now getting treatment at the Red Rose Hospital in Ponyville. Sent in a expert in demon psychology. He’s been missing for more than 2 Months. Pixel Shuddered. Fiery Substance? Hopefully they don’t mean the demon from the portal. They even had a Picture of it. It was staring straight at the pony who took the picture. “No need to look at that Picture it’s just a bunch of static.” Twilight interrupted his thoughts. “There is a Picture here! not static!” Pixel said once more showing the Picture of the demon to Twilight. She looked at it and shook her head. “Just a bunch of Static, Are you okay? You need some Help?” Pixel shook his head and shoved the Picture back into the file and handed it back to Twilight. “I think we’re ready to go, I just need a few things before we find this... Demon.” Pixel grimaced. If this was the devil, he was going to beat The Devil’s Sorry Ass Goodbye for the Second time in a row! Petal Cord hopped off the train to ponyville. The air was sticky with humidity, the other mares got off the train. Tough the explosion had just happened the trains still worked and they were able to get home. Petal Cord felt tired. She needed rest. “So... what exactly will we be doing?” She asked, The one Known as AppleJack was the one to Speak First. “Ah do believe dat Twi, Asked us to bring ya to the castle. Knowing what we’re doing she’ll probably want to keep ya safe.” “And Sunset Cloud?” Petal Cord rose a brow to the other mares. Rarity simply sighed and spoke in a soft voice. “Well Darling, Pixel and Twilight are there next to her and they won’t be hear for another day or two. I’m sure she will be fine.” That lifted Petal Cord thoughts. She was just worried about Sunset Cloud. Being all hospitalized and stuff. Upon the thought of Sunset Cloud laying on the hospital Bed made her feel tired. She needed some sleep. She just survived an explosion, she needed rest. “Well I hope you don’t mind me sleeping at my house. Castles aren’t Exactly my thing. Though the thought is recommended I would still pefer my house.” Rainbow dash Nodded to herself before saying in her raspy voice. “Well, if you say so, But I will be there if anything does happen.” Petal Cord chuckled, “I Survived through Hell Thank you very Much! I’m sure I’ll be fine.” She stated to walk way towards her house. She stopped when Applejack Called her name. “We Know dat you survived Hell. Like today, Ah could agree with ya, but a year ago? That is your story to the world. Don’t get to caught up on it!” Applejack was right. The story of the Ending of New Begnnings, was just a story that only happened to Pixel, Sunset Cloud and Petal Cord. No pony else. She shook her head. Please let this be a dream. Sunset Cloud sat on the hospital Bed slowly breathing. The monitor to the left beeped with the notation that her heart was still beating. One of the nurses stood next to Pixel as he sat by her. She looked peaceful in her sleep, almost like a soul that never faced corruption before. The nurse stood by the door, and so did Twilight. They watched as a Pixel watched Sunset Cloud. “Who do you think he is?” The nurse said next to Twilight, She shook her head. “I think of him as a survivor.” The nurse nodded to Twilight’s comment. “Aren’t we all, to think of it as if the bomber should have bombed the hospital. Not that I don’t want that to happen just, that I’ve been watching a lot of movies the past few days. And each time I think of a bomber blowing something up. I think of a hospital Blowing up.” “That’s a weird thing to say,” Twilight looked back to Pixel. “But that is a theory that we can take.” “What do you mean?” “Whoever blew up the café meant to hurt somepony. But I couldn’t be Pixel because he was with the princess’s when it happened.” “Unfortunately this poor soul took the blast. She was one of the eight survivors you know. Most of the ponies were D.O.A, Dead on Arrival. And some were just K.I.A. Killed in action, Hence the explosion.” “What’s your name?” Twilight asked suddenly changing the subject. “The name’s Nurse Red Locke ma’am, but you can called me Locke.” She replied, Twilight had an idea in mind. But she had to confirm. “You training to be a doctor?” Twilight asked once more. Locke gave a look to Twilight and said in a hushed tone. “Not yet ma’am, I’m only a month away from getting my Doctors Degree.” Twilight smiled and said to her royally. “Nurse Red Locke, in honor of Princess of Friendship herself, I now make you a Doctor.” Red Locke looked at her surprisingly. “Really?!” She gasped. Twilight nodded and exited out of the room. She came back a few Moments later with a clip board in hoof and gave it to Red Locke. “Sign this and you’re now a doctor. Under my authority of course.” Author's Note Hey. Hope any one can see this. Maybe comment, but I’m not forcing a hand here. Just want to see how it’s going so far. Chapter 8Pixel paced around the door to Sunset Cloud’s Room. He’s never been on edge like this in his life, that was a lie. Pixel knew that. It’s been a day since the explosion. Pixel stopped pacing. What about his Parents, His Siblings. He should have told them something first before he left. But what to tell them when he does. He couldn’t go like, ‘Hey mom! My Friends and I went to canterolot for the weekend! Hope you don’t mind!’ That would be bad, get grounded from leaving the house for more than for ever. He made up his mind. Using his magic he held up his hoof pulling up a holographic image. It was a Picture of his Mom and his Dad. He spoke into it gingerly. “Mom? Dad? Please Pick up.” Pixel said like he was holding a phone. This spell was a comuntication spell, unicorns learned this spell before the invention of the Phone. This spell was tied into the house phone in Ponyville. He was told to by his parents. On the other end There was a few crashes but then the spell lit up with sound. “Hello?” It Was Talon, Pixel’s younger Brother. “This is Talon, who’s calling?” Maybe he should learn some manners, Pixel thought. “H-hey Talon... Uh... How’s it going?” Pixel said. “Pixel? Where are you, Mom and Dad have been looking for you for like, ever.” “I’m in Cantrolot. Sorry but I Couldn’t bring you along. Nevermind that just... Where’s mom and dad?” “They are at Town Hall, There’s an important meeting or some sort.” “Tell them I say Hello okay?” Pixel said. Before Talon could reply Pixel turned off the spell. Pixel didn’t want to hear his excessive blabbing. Hopefully Everything would be alright. Pixel sat in a nearby chair. Twilight had left for Ponyville while Pixel stayed behind to watch Sunet cloud. It had just been a few minutes before taking with Pixel’s younger sibling, Talon. A nurse walked up to him saying in a nervous voice. “I assume your waiting for Miss Cloud?” Pixel nodded and examined the nurse. He recognized her from yesterday, she stood by the door when Pixel was meeting Sunset Cloud. She wore a white doctor’s Coat. Her mane glowed, in the lights of the hospital, a Bright Maroon with stripes of Green and a little bit of Blue. Her fur color, Hiddened slightly by the white Doctor’s coat, was light grey. Her eyes were crimson. She looked pretty, Pixel could Admit that. Pixel shook his head Slightly and Replied. “We’re you the nurse from yesterday?” “Well, Yes, Except now I’m a doctor. Princess Twilight assigned me as a doctor just yesterday.” She scratched the back of her head as she’s spoke. She didn’t like to brag. “Well congratulations! Miss?-” “-Red Locke, But you can call me Locke.” “That’s a nice name.” Pixel complimented. He sat up from his chair, and asked once more. “Why did Twilight Make you as a Doctor? Just wondering.” She paused before answering. “All she said was that I’m a doctor and that I should be in Ponyville as fast as I could. She never told me why though.” Pixel thought about this in his head then spoke clearly. “I think if you known, you wouldn’t do it.” “Why? What is it?” She asked. Pixel shrugged, he himself didn’t really know what’s going on. “I think we should should find out and see. After Sunset Cloud gets healed properly. We can head over to Twilight’s castle and talk to her. You know I’m in this too.” “I’ve noticed that.” Awkward silence filled the void. Finally Locke spoke. “So... Nice meeting you, Pixel.” Pixel hesitated, then he stammered, “N-nice meeting you too!” Locke gave a quick glance back to Pixel as she turned the corner. Fully out of Pixel’s sight she blushed, she smiled to herself momentaily before she shook her head violently. This story doesn’t have a Romance Tag! She thought. But she smiled at the thought that Pixel, was also Blushing. Twilight paced around the library to her castle, her mind turning gears in her head. If she could only put the pieces together. The incident last year at the school, result in massive casualties, many ponies died of being shot. Some ponies there got murdered and ripped apart limb from limb. A year later, a incident occurs at the Lab, one guard has been found dead by burns and a open rib cage like something was eating him. She shook her head. This doesn’t make sense. Where could this thing go, if it were surrounded by guards. Twilight banged her head with her hoof. She needs to think harder. She thought of many theories in life but couldn’t prove them. Spike walked into the library, a pile of books in claw. “Twilight? I think I have something.” Twilight moved her head facing Spike. She looked at the books. Most of them were just little files, if she remembered correctly those files were for the case of the Creatures. Spike walked over to her and set the books and files down on the table. “Wow these books are really old... Where did you find them?” Twilight asked blowing the front cover which puffed a cloud of dust. She coughed, and so did Spike. Spike explained to her that these were found in the attic. Twilight nodded and opened up each book. A Picture showed on the first page of each book. They looked like a bunch of lines. “What do you think it is?” Spike Asked leaning over the table. He turned his head to the right and then twisted upside down looking at the Pictures. Twilight looked at all of them and turned one of them around. The general idea of all these books were about Creatures from there worlds. She saw a pattern. Without thinking, Twilight used her magic to rip out each of the pages from the books. She also made the Table glow as she put each piece of Paper on it. Spike looked in the files and found more pictures with lines on them. Twisting and rotating these Pictures together made an image. Twilight slowly put the papers on the table and backed up. The image was quiet frightening. It was a ink drawing of a staillion with its lower jaw jutting out further than the upper jaw. The mane looked fiery and the hooves looked scourched. This only resembled a Demon. And she knew who this was.
Chapter 1Lost connection. A guard dressed in royal Cantrolot armour ran Down the hallway in a rush. It was only minutes they had lost connection to the squad. And the Cantrolot officials are going crazy. Weaving through the panicked Scientists, he made his way to a huge metal vault. With a quick couple spins on the wheel, it opened with ease but soon flung open. Hard pressurized air exploded out of the safe and hit him hard in the chest. Almost like a fan it blew him halfway across the room filling the room with flying pieces of paper. But it only lasted a few seconds before he moved from his position on the floor to the entry way to the vault. He entered the room, it was filled with white lights all aiming at the Spinning red vortex, giving off an ominous wind blowing sound. It was true... they found a portal to another world! He stared a it for a bit and then looked around at the scene before him. Ponies in lab coats moved away from the vortex and out of the room. But he didn’t leave with them. He wanted a closer look. He moved slowly towards the portal and began to hear things. Screaming, Gunshots, The cracking of the ground. And then the room started to shake, with a mighty force the metal frame of the Portal began to sway. The gaurd backed up away from the portal as it looked like it was spinning. With a crash it exploded sending the Gaurd against the wall. Screaming in pain, the explosion seemed to have burned his hooves. But they were still burning, fire licked his hooves inching its way further and further up his flesh. Soon he was enslaved with flames and burned alive. “Hello Equestria, I am Back!” A grim voice said, it started to laugh madly and soon inched its way out of the portal. “I was Killed once! I was Killed Twice! Now it’s time to Return the favor!” The grim Voice grew deeper and started to take form. It was the same form of a normal Stallion but with a metal jaw and glowing fires as eyes. His skin was cracked and blackend like it’s been burned thousands of times. Every step he took laid little bits of burning embers. Laughing hysterically he exited out of the room, but before he did so. He looked at the burned guards corpse. “Let me Just start off with a snack first...” “Oh-Come on! This is the third time you kicked my butt!” A Pegasus mare yelled in a frustrated manner. “That’s because I’ve been playing games since I was born!” A stallion, siitting next to the mare, explained. A moment of silence before another cry of vitcory from the stallion. “And...that’s why you don’t go down into the main area of the map.” The Pegasus frustratedly threw the controller away and pouted. “I don’t like it when I lose. Can you please just let me win, Pixel?” She muttered. “Hey! Nopony likes a Sore loser!” Pixel said in a manner that made him sound intelligent. “You better learn this, like I have, I used to be a sore loser too you know. There is nothing to be upset about Sunset Cloud.” She still sulked and muttered under her breath. A few seconds of silence before the doorbell rung. With a surprised face Pixel trotted over to the door. He fiddled with the lock and then opened the door. It was Petal Cord, Petal Cord was one of Sunset Cloud’s friends. The last year, when Pixel and Petal Cord first met, the events during the time led them into becoming good friends. She appeared to be holding a bag of stuff. “Uhh... are you goin’ to help me?” Petal Cord asked lightly trying not to drop the bag. Pixel grabbed the bag with his magic and set it on the table. Sunset Cloud moved from the couch, and basically jumped into the bag to see whats inside. “Phew! Thanks....” “Don’t mention it.” Pixel replied in a nice manner. “That’s one of the reasons why it’s good to have friends.” Sunset Cloud’s head popped out of the bag and pulled out a cookie in her mouth. Pixel chuckled and so did Petal Cord. Pixel let Petal Cord in and closed the door. “What- mph- brings ou hear?” Sunset Cloud mumbled, her mouth stuffed with cookie. Petal cord moved away from the table where the bag was place and looked around the room. “What a nice Place you got here. Any family home?” “Nah. Just me, well...for another hour.” Pixel replied walking towards the video game that Sunset Cloud and Pixel were just playing. Shutting it off with his hoof he made his way back to the two mares. Pixel’s brother and sister, Talon and Silverstone, both had teacher conferences which both of the Parents had to go to. “Good, ‘cause I was hoping we could discuss about last... year....” Petal Cord trailed off nervously moving her hoof around in circles on the wood floor. Pixel nodded and pulled up a chair to begin. Sunset Cloud moved silently up to the table. “What’s been on your mind recently?” Pixel asked ready to start up a conversation. A ping of Saddness stabbed his heart with each name Petal Cord Spoke. “Officer Sunside, Winter, Day Break, Buzzkill, Ash, and Caster.... They Helped us escape. They could have lived. A year later and we just thought of them!” Petal Cord said with tears in her eyes. Pixel stared hard at the thought, he had the perfect way to end this burden. “We all miss them too you know. And I don’t think it’ll be fitting if we don’t give them the service that they deserved!” Faces lit up as Pixel said this. “We will give them the proper way of saying goodbye!” Standing up, Petal Cord nodded firmly and so did Sunset Cloud. Pixel smiled slightly and trotted towards the door next to the kitchen. Opening it with his magic it reveled six gravestones. All with the squads names printed on it. “Let’s remeber them and their sacrifices. Okay?” Sunset Cloud said confidently. The gang nodded in return.
Chapter 2“Are we Almost there?” Sunset Cloud pipped up hopping up and down in her seat. Pixel shook his head and rolled his eyes. They still haven’t left the train station. Petal Cord put a hoof on Sunset Cloud’s shoulder making her stop bouncing. “I know your excited, about going to Cantrolot and everything, but we have some important work to do.” Sunset Cloud nodded and skunked in her seat. Pixel chuckled to himself, “You sure do know how to Mother ponies around don’t you Petal Cord?” Petal Cord rose a brow. “I do have 3 younger Siblings, they are so hard to get them under control. Especially when I’m Foalsitting them....” Pixel nodded along as Petal Cord gave very detailed descriptions of her family. “You know I have younger siblings too. I’m the oldest of the family. I know exactly how you feel.” Pixel replied after Petal cord had finished talking. Just then the train jurked forward without warning. Sunset Cloud hopped with excitement as the train picked up speed. Now that the train has started to move, the gang grew quiet. Pixel picked up his headphones and put them on his head. Let’s just hope this is a peaceful ride. The sight of the castle of Cantrolot looked pretty awesome in the refelctance of the sun. Almost looks godly. Pixel stared at it with awe. Sunset Cloud has fallen asleep a few minutes ago, and Petal Cord was reading a book. The closer they got to the city the more details Pixel saw. The train station was just in sight and he nudged Sunset Cloud awake. “We’re here sleepy head. Get up!” Sunset Cloud shifted her head slightly and yawned. Blinking awake she got out of her seat and stretched, Petal Cord put her book away in her bag. The train officially came to a screeching stop. “Anypony getting off at Cantrolot, you may please exit the train.” The conductor said through the loud speakers. Like a wave, the ponies started to leave the train. Pixel moved through the train silently, walking slowly so he won’t bump into another pony. Soon the train left and disappeared in the distance. Pixel looked at the train station. It was fancy almost, not exactly filled with golden outlines but it must have cost a lot just to bulid. A few gaurds stood at the gates entering into the city. All of the, checking the passengers bags. “Come on Pixel!” Sunset Cloud tugged at his hoof with her’s trying to get him to follow her. “We’re almost here!” Snapping out of his daze Pixel turned to Sunset Cloud and nodded, being half dragged by Sunset Cloud’s excitement. A guard stopped them before entering the city. Pixel sighed and asked politely. “Are you going to check our bags?” Rising a brow the graud nodded and grabbed the bag rummaging through. Silently Pixel stood and watched as he rummaged through the other mares bags before finally, bringing the nod of approval, opening the gate. Sunset Cloud’s wings fluttered with excitement as she zoomed into the city. Pixel and Petal Cord ran after her. Pixel, was able to catch up to the speeding Pegasus clamping on her tail with his magic. Sunset Cloud huffed before being brought down to the ground. “While we’re here you better stop doing that.” Pixel said panting. He never liked running. “Should we get going?” Petal Cord said suddenly walking up behind Pixel. Pixel nodded and pulled out six little stones with his magic. The group instantly became silent. Those were the gravestones they were going to imbed in the ground at the Cantrolot Cemetry, they were shrunk to get past the guard in the front of the city. Pixel, using his magic once more, made the stones bigger with each second, when the time is right he will teleport them to the Cemetery. With a bright flash of light the gravestones disappeared. “Glad we got to say our respects. Let’s just hope no pony noticed.” Petal Cord whispered. Something tapped her side, it was Sunset Cloud. She was looking at the castle in the distance. Her eyes told them nothing more than to go see it. Smiling Pixel and Petal Cord walked towards the castle as Sunset Cloud ran beside them. The entrance of the castle was huge. Not a lot of ponies were near because they were being excused from the guards. Pixel looks to his left and to his right. He has heard about the guard placements from his father when he used to work in Cantrolot, usually there should be three guards positioned in the left corner and the right corner both near the entrance. Instead their all spaced out, two at the door and about a few feet away another guard stood. This was a specific guard position, one for protecting. With a sigh he walked up to the entrance of the castle, Petal accord and Sunset Cloud tried to pull him away but he refused, when near the entrance he got stopped by both of the guards. “Halt! State your business!” They said almost in unison. Pixel merely stood there looking for an answer. Something was off about this place and he was going to find out. Clearing his throat he spoke in a almost royal tone. “I’m Messenger Winter of The Crystal Empire and I want to give a clear letter from Princess Cadence to the Princess of the Sun, Must I say it is very important!” One of the guards looked suspiciously at Pixel, And the other one looked at another guard who was nearby. “Don’t do anything Suspious, we’ll walk you in.” The guard to the right said in a nuterual tone. “If this message is about the Incident then Princess Celestia will read it throughly.” Pixel rose a brow and spoke once more, “My dear sir, I am merely dismissive of the fact that this incident Is true. Can you please shed some light?” Out of the corner of his vision he could see Sunset Cloud and Petal Cord in the distance watching. He was going in without them he will have to tell them somehow. “If as long as you don’t tell anypony, and I mean AnyPony about this, for I trust you being the messenger of the Crystal queen. Can you follow me.” The guard replied. Pixel turned his head and given a hidden wink at the two mares before entering the building. Now all he needs is a letter. Author's Note After a long time I finally came out with the second chapter of this book. Hope you all enjoy.
Chapter 3The Royal Controlot castle was buetiful in the inside, the fact that the lobby was bigger than his home in Ponyville truely surprised him. The guard spoke as they walked towards the entrance to the throne room. “A couple days ago it one of the most secure Facilities in Cantrolot, had a accident, the facility blew up turning it and a five mile radius into a Burning Hell. You can say it wasn’t an accident but they haven’t proved that yet. But for one thing, the facility was just outside of Cantrolot and for some reason the Crystal Empire wants to talk about it. I don’t know how fast the word travels and this tells me that it’s fast.” Pixel nodded along, the guard was so caught up in telling what happened, that Pixel snuck in a letter based on his information. He could tell the guard hadn’t noticed. Just hopefully the Princess Would believe it. They were getting closer to the door when a older mare came forward. She was dress in a black suit sunglasses positioned in a official stance, she looks professional. “Exscuse me, but I thought we told you not to bring any unwanted civilians into this time of crisis!” “But, this is-“ the gaurd was interrupted by Pixel. Who stood in front of the Guard and cleared his throat once more. “Madam, My name is Winter, And I’m a messenger from the royal Crystal Empire. I’m here to give Princess Celestia this letter from Princess Cadence. This guard showed me in. There is really nothing to worry about. Only this letter in hoof.” Without warning The Mare grabbed it with her hoof and opened it up. A ping of anxiety hit Pixel hard, hopefully she dose t find out its a fake. He gave a sigh of relief when the Mare returned the Letter back to Pixel, that was only a warm up. “You may go in! Don’t do anything suspicious or we will burn you like your in Hell.” Pixel chuckled to himself, “I already did that.” He shut himself up immediately realizing what he just said. The Mare gave a Pixel a look and returned to the side where other ponies stood. The guard sighed and pushed open the doors with his magic. The throne room looked to cool, fit for a king, or Princess Suited this statement. Further down the corridor was a tall skinny alicorn, The wings hugged her side like all Pegasi do when they are not flying. Her mane was a rainbow, literally, and was waving. Pixel felt like he was going to die, He’d never seen Princess Celestia in pony before. But she seemed to be talking with another official. “We’ve given you the correct amount a security, during the event. Don’t tell me you needed extra.” She exclaimed with correct authority. A stallion, dressed also in a official manner, spoke in a angry tone. “Not only have we lost some of our guards in the explosion, but we have also lost connection to to the squad that you authorized to take part in this experiment. We don’t even know if they are still alive!” “I might have the authorization as Princess of Equeastria, of the sun, but I knew that the ponies I’ve sent you were the best of their class and their names won’t be spoken in vain.” Silence for a few moments before the meeting came to a close and the Stallion left the room. Princess Celestial turned slightly at Pixel and the guard. Before fully facing them in a present manner. Pixel’s heart pounded, he thought he was going to explode. “Ah, you must be the messenger from Princess Cadence. Winter? Is it?” Pixel sputtered slightly trying to answer. He was amazed in seeing her in pony, but he was also afraid of her. Like big time. “Yes Ma’am...” Pixel levitated the letter towards Princess Celestia who toke it in her magic. As she read she watched her face change from a slight smile to a frown. What was she thinking. “This letter, from Princess Cadence? That can’t be I already spoke to her just last night. This-This isn’t even her hoof-writing....” she trailed off looking towards Pixel and back at the letter. She found out. “Guard! seize this this liar at once!” Pixel’s eyes widened and looked to his side, the guard to him gave a glance and pulled his spear in a ready position. Ready to strike. Pixel backed away as more guards entered the perimeter. The princess spoke again in another angry tone. “I bet your name isn’t Winter, weather or not.” “You got me! Just put the spears down!” Pixel said backing even further backing up against the glass windows. “The name’s Pixel! Please just don’t hurt Me!” He saw a face change from one of the guards and so did Princess Celestia. “Did you just say your name was, Pixel? As in the incident at Ponyville Highschool Heights?” one of the guards spoke up pulling the spear away momentarily. Pixel smiled and confidently moved foward, with each step it drove the guards to back up, Pixel looked out the window and sighed. He was going to do something stupid, he always does. “As you see the incident here is sort of like the incident in Ponyville. A massive massacre, A loss of money. Everything almost. The squad that you spoke of during your meeting. They’re dead,” even more face changes happened as soon as he said that. “You don’t even know the-!” The princess was cut off from Pixel. “-Officer Sunside, Winter, Daybreak, Caster, Ash, and finally Buzzkill! Squad number 22-445 sent to destroy the known factor of every mistake and punishment to every pony here! They died trying to save us all from death and destruction....” Princess Celestia opened her mouth to speak but she was cut off again. “Yeah I know everything! You know why!? Because the one thing that this portal Did was transfer them into a world of Hell. Take it from me! I’ve been to Hell! I saw them die trying to protect us and doing their mission!” Princess Celestia was speechless. Did Pixel really made the Princess of Equestria speechless. The silence made Pixel uncomfortable. A few seconds later the Princess ordered the Guards to stand down. One by one the guards put away their weapons slowly not sure if they want to leave Pixel defenseless. Pixel gave a sigh of relief. “We... have caught something on the camera’s. During the event. Something none of us here can understand, But you seen Hell, And I’ll like you to prove that. Princess Celestia said ushering Pixel to another room down to the left next to the throne. Pixel hesitated and quietly trotted over to her. The door was small just enough to fit Pixel’s and Princess Celestia’s head as they entered the room. It was a Control Center, monitors shown black and white Pictures of hallways and large Rooms. Pixel walked up to one of them who had an image of a pony, looking at the camera. The thing was, was that it resembled a pony.
Chapter 4“That’s no ordinary pony....” Pixel stared leaning in closer toward the black and white screen. He pouched a numbers and keys on the keyboard opening up the code. “Ah, this will give us a better look.” He said re-typing in a piece of code. Princess Celestia watched him carefully. Letting a stranger into her castle made her feel uneasy, Ever since the incident. She thought back for a moment, actually, that’s why the guards are like this too. They got fooled by a few simple tricks and lies by a young stallion. To that She smiled to herself. After a few seconds the black and white screen filled with color, and the picture was even clearer. “This...This isn’t a pony a all!” Celestia said in a aghast tone. Pixel looked scrutinized the image before playing they tape. If this monitor has different screens showing different places then there must be a tape that has to record it. He sighed and replayed the footage. If there as sound it would have felt like a nightmare, papers flying everywhere, Ponies running in all directions but mainly towards the exit. Some guards who were in front of the room, looked at each other as they ran and held open the door. But one guard took Pixel by surprise. He was running towards something that the camera can’t see. It was out of range. Pixel looked at another screen. The same guard rushed towards a door that looked like a vault door. “I would at least look through the window first beforehand I go through there.” Pixel commented while he watched, the princess gave him a weird look. “Why would you say that?” “Let’s just say that everything you do has a consequence, not that I believe that.” The guard was finally able to open the door, as he done so, a few more guards rushed out the vault, and so did a few more ponies wearing lab coats. But the guard still walked through the door into the room. Pixel shook his head as, what they call, “The Portal” looked like a big disc of a swirling colors. But something look odd about right off the bat. The rim of the Portal Sustaning it seemed to look like its... Melting. The guard froze looking at the Portal. A few seconds past. Pixel back up away from the monitor and winced as the room exploded like a giant fireball. The guard nowhere to be seen. Maybe burning next to the door. Pixel looked toward the door. Yep there he is. Taking his eyes off of the burning pony, he looked towards the Portal Once more. “You hear that noise?” Princess Celestia said looking around. Pixel had heard it earlier but just ignored it. But now something must have amplified within minutes because it was audible even outside of the room. It was a high pitched ringing sound. Pixel focused on the monitor, at the Portal. Something was coming through. Without warning the camera captured a huge white flash, Blinding Pixel with huge intensity. “Ah! Holy... Why!” He screamed in pain covering his eyes. After a minute of closing his eyes, he opened them to see if they still worked. Gladly after a few seconds his vision came back to normal. “Oh, Ow. That... gave me a heart Attack.” He breathed steadying his heart. He looked back at the monitor once more and noticed something moving. He looked closely at it once more. The mysterious stallion. Looked as though it was wear metal armor, the skin of this pony looked burnt, and the mane looked like a wave of rushing magma. Like the kind Princess Celestia has but with a fiery substance, But the one thing that Pixel caught about this pony set his heart ablaze in anger. His lower jaw was metallic. Pixel fainted to the floor. “Oh gooddness! Please... we need... med...iCal....assi....” Pixel didn’t hear the rest before he fully blacked out. Outside, Petal Cord and Sunset Cloud sat in front of a restraunt right next to the Castle. Petal Cord paced around the table, while Sunset Cloud was eating a Pizza. They haven’t heard a word from Pixel since he entered the Castle. Petal Cord thought of the consequences that could happen if Pixel was caught. He could be executed, sent for life in prison, the possibility’s were endless, and all she had to do was wait. She quickened her pace around the table. Was she really worrying too much about Pixel? Her head started to spin. But then she was topped by Sunset Cloud who was poking her with her hoof. “What?!” Petal Cord Groaned loudly, clearly showing the frustration of the situation. Sunset Cloud pointed towards another pony who was waiting by the door to the inside of the restraunt they were sitting at. The pony wore a apron and a chef’s hat. Petal cord walked up to him with slight intimidation. “I got a call for Petal Cord, if that is you?” He said, “somepony named, Pixel, Wants to speak to you.” Petal Cord instantly ran inside towards the phone at the other end of the restraunt. She picked up the phone and held it to her ear. “Hello?” She asked hoping Pixel was still there. A few seconds before another voice spoke on the other end to the line. “Hi, Petal Cord. Wait! before you say anything. I need you to do something for me. I’m clearly fine I’m just past out on the floor an-“ the voice was cut off short. “-Pixel... Oh My Celestia! Your ok. But you say your past out of the floor then how are you calling me?” “Let’s just say I’m out of my Physical body for only a short time. But listen, I found something that only you and Sunset Cloud could understand.” “What? Is it another shooting?” “Can you let me say it! Remember a year ago. In Hell. The demon?” “Yeah.” “I think we should get out of here, because he is in this world!” The phone went static as soon as Pixel finished his sentence. Petal Cord froze in shock. He’s here, The demon, the one who killed everypony. Her head was spinning even faster. They got to run, no hide! She can’t decide because either way somepony is going to die. She hung up the phone and quickly ran out the restraunt, she meet Sunset Cloud who was still eating her pizza. “Quickly we have to get out of here!” She called to Sunset Cloud pulling her away from the restraunt. Without hesitation they ran past a crowd. BOOM!! The deafening sound of an explosion rocked the ground as the Crowd ran away screaming in a terror. The Devil’s first Killing spree.
Chapter 5Pixel opened his eyes to see himself in the monitoring room. Celestia had looked down at him on the floor. A shocked face could be seen. He had just gotten off with Petal Cord about the thing. He sat up with wide eyes. Jumping up his hooves he turned to Celestia who was aiming her horn at him. “You will tell me where you gone! Tell me now!” She said before charging her horn ready to fire. Pixel gasped as the ground rocked the earth. Something is making it shake. EarthQuake? Can’t be an earthquake due to the time it stopped. An explosion? Yeah that’s a possibility. Pixel ran towards the window and looked out to the city smoke was flying high into the sky. Fire burned around a few building and there was a giant crater near the castle. Yep, there was an explosion. Petal Cord’s head throbbed as she termed to get up. Pain shot through her head with each moment of movement. Sunset Cloud was nowhere to be seen. She must be somewhere. She looked up, And then looked behind her. Nowhere. A mare whom she didn’t recognize ran to her and pulled her up to her hoofs. She could not hear what she was saying, because it was all muffled up. Pushing her pain aside she looked around once more for Sunset Cloud. Everything was happening so fast that is seemed like it was in slow motion. She felt dizzy. The mare looked as if she worked at a farm. But maybe that was because her vision was blurry. “Sunset Cloud?” She called, ignoring the farmer earth pony who was tugging at her skin to get away from the fires. “Sunset Cloud!” Sunset Cloud’s body slumped against the walls. She cried out in agony. Her head was aching and her ears were bleeding from the explosion. She coughed up blood. She had to get out of here. She tried to open her wings but she couldn’t. She cried out even more, looking at her back, her wings were broken. She’s can’t fly. She was only able to crawl about a foot when she got picked up by magic. The only reason she could tell was because she was hovering over the ground going faster than she can crawl. She looked the way she was heading. The unicorn using this spell, was a white mare with purple mane. Another unicorn was In sight but it looked like she had wings. She was losing a lot of blood, she thought. “Quick! get her to the hospital while I go talk with Rainbow Dash about the fires!” Rainbow Dash? “Just be safe Twilight, I’ll take this poor innocent soul over to the hospital with no trouble at all, just go.” She wasn’t lifted up by the magical spell as she was hovering her way towards the hospital. She had to ask the unicorn something. “Excuse me miss. But where are you taking me?” Sunset Clouds voice was weak, but still can be heard. “And can I also get a name and what your doing?” “Sorry for my manners. The Name’s Rarity. And I’m taking you to the hospital after a deadly accident.” She started into a run. “Your bleeding, and magic can’t hold onto blood for more than a few minutes.” Great. A unicorn with a knowlege of how to save a ponies life. Can’t see any sarcasm in that. Never mind there was a lot of sarcasm. But the name Rainbow Dash sounds Fimiliar. Pixel stared down into the burning flames, his friends were down there. He looked around the accident, looking for his friends. He gave a sigh of relief when he spotted Sunset Cloud getting carried by a unicorn’s spell. Judging by the direction they were traveling they were heading towards the hospital. “If Sunset Cloud’s alive then Petal Cord’s alive.” He mummered to himself as he scanned the wreckage. A click sounded behind him. He turned around slowly to find himself at gunpoint. Guards were around him each holding a spear except for the one in the middle who was holding a shotgun. Princess Celestia glared at him. He’s in trouble now. “Pixel? Are you responsible with the Explosion? If you dare tell a lie we will execute with hesitation.” As soon as she said that the guard with the shotgun grabbed the pump of the shotgun. “No I’m not. I noticed that you were on edge when I saw the guard line up in front of the castle. My dad... has taught me about guard stances and positions when he worked at the royal guard.” “What’s you fathers name?” Celestial asked, a quizzed look from her face. “His name is... uh. Dammit I forgot!” Pixel tapped his hoof in frustration. How could he forget his own Fath-, “Oh its, Firestater!” Princess Celestia’s glare brightened from newer rage. Does she know Pixel’s Father? Princess Celestia Flinched when the door of the throne room opened. A mare with a purple coat and dark Purple mane, walked in, in a student like manner. She instantly flushed of color upon seeing Pixel at gunpoint. “Princess Celestia, What are you doing?!” She yelled, but not in an angry tone. She was smaller than Celestia, still an alicorn though. She looked familiar. Like he’s seen her before. “This fiend has breached our defenses. Guiding our gaze away from this act of Destruction!” Celestia answered royally. The Mare again said. “You don’t know if that’s true!” She looked at Pixel, who was backing backing up against the wall. “He might have snuck in here when you guys weren’t looking. That does not mean that he is responsible for destruction.” “Oh, Your Princess Twilight Sparkle! Princess of Friendship!” Pixel gasped out loud, every eye was on him. “Please you understand that I don’t mean it! I just saw your defens- Ack!” He stopped getting hit in the face with the butt of the Shotgun. He fell onto his knees and held his jaw. He pulled his hoof away from his face showing blood. “Princess Celestia! Please, he is innocent! If we could just make a compromise, Please! Just don’t hurt him!” Twilight said again almost begging. Pixel had read about Twilight Sparkle in the newspaper and most biographies. She’s was a fearless, student of Princess Celestia. And she begs for one pony’s life. Twilight, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow dash, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie are all of her friends, and the hero’s of Equestria. Pixel already put the thoughts together in his mind. They need Pixel’s help. Author's Note Hi. Just Want to know if the book is good, if not... then I don’t care, I’ll write more and better. Hopfully. Thanks for reading.
Chapter 6Pixel stubbled out of the throne room by the magic of Twilight Sparkle. The Two Princesses did make a compromise. Pixel Got up Stifly and turned to see Princess Twilight. She walked past him slowly and offered him to follow her. Pixel followed. “So what Exactly are you going to do with me?” Pixel asked, as he walked next to Twilight. Twilight gave a slight smile and then replied. “You survived The Highschool Incident, Right?” “Uh, yeah. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t be here would I?” Twilight gave a slight chuckle, she then calmly opened the door exiting the Castle. No guards were in sight. Pixel had the urge to ask her another question, by the time he opened his mouth to say something he got pinned to the wall with magic. Twilight’s Faced closed in on his, anger setting into her eyes. “How did you do it?!” She yelled, Pixel opened his mouth once more but got cut off again. “You snook into the most fortified Fortress other than the Crystal Empire. How did you do it!” Pixel, shook out of Twilight’s Magical Grip with, ease? That was easy. Pixel moved quickly and close down the gap pushing Twilight against the wall with his magic. “Look, I didn’t do anything out of the ordinary. Yeah I might have snook past these paranoid guards, that’s because they were expecting somepony who knew how to handle the situation. They trusted me. And I think it’s called helping!” He stared at her eyes angrily. “I was just testing your power.” Twilight said suddenly Teleproting out of Pixel’s magical Spell. Pixel gasped. She teleported right next to him and continued to walk towards the crater. Pixel looked at the corner of his eyes, he turned to the left and saw a familiar face. It was Petal Cord. He ran towards her. “Petal Cord!” He yelled, getting her attention. She spun around and gasped, she started to run after him as well. Together They hugged each other in a loving Embrace. “Oh, Sweet Celestia You’re okay!” She said with tears streaming down her face. “Glad to see that your not hurt... Where’s Sunset Cloud!” Pixel replied looking around. “Wait! how could I forget, she’s at the hospital.” He turned to leave but was stopped by a orange Farm Mare, wearing a Cowboy hat. He tried to push by her but she bucked him away. He looked around, Realizing that they were surrounded by 5 other ponies. Inculding Twilight. “Okay, What Do we do with em Twi!” A Rainbow maned Pegasus said, flapping nearby them. Pixel recognized her, but couldn’t put his tounge on it. “We are not here to Punish them, Rainbow!” Twilight said sternly, “We need their Help!” Pixel Held a hoof and said in an clear tone. “Uh, can we go see our friend now!” Twilight Stared at him and nodded, Pixel And Petal Cord Ran towards the hospital The 6 mares surrounding them followed. They reached to hospital and flung open the door, many doctors were rushing around. He ran to the mare at the front desk. “We’re here to See Sunset Cloud!” Pixel said, the mare nodded and ponited at the door to the left. Pixel ran towards the door, but hesitated when he tried to push open the door. Before he did so, he knocked the door twice with his hoof. A set of hooves trotted up to the door, with a click the door opened slightly. It was a doctor with a facial mask on. Petal Cord asked the doctor in a pleading voice. “Is Sunset Cloud in there!” The doctor looked back into the room and returned to Petal Cord. “So that’s her name, she was brought here by a unicorn. Never asked about this Pegasus’ name because she was already in critical condition.” Pixel gave a sigh of relief. He asked in a solemn voice. “Will she be alright?” “To hard to say. Her wings are broken, and she had lost a truemendous amount of blood, but we got her stabilized.” The doctor replied. His eyes shifted uneasily, he wasn’t entirely sure! “Please, if you must to see your beloved friend in fresh condition, I would suggest that you leave.” Even with the sound of so many doctors rushing around and nurses asking for some assistance. Pixel could hear the Door to the hospital fling wide open, Twilight and her friends are here. Pixel nodded respectfully and let the doctor close the door. “Petal Cord. Be quiet and follow me... we have company.” Pixel whispered to her and walked to the hallway to the right. Petal Cord, hesitated, before following him through the crowd. Pixel could hear Twilight’s hoofsteps get faster, they are right behind them. Pixel tore around the corner, but not in a running manner. Too many ponies, he didn’t want to make a havoc. Pixel found a exit by the back of the hospital. Together Petal Cord and Pixel exited out of the building. Only to get stopped by the same 5 ponies from before. “Pixel! I thought you knew what you were doing!” Petal Cord hissed quietly looking around at the 5 ponies. “Well I wasn’t expecting them to be out here!” Pixel replied in a quiet salty tone. The Rainbow maned Pegasus glared at him, she’s ready for a fight, Pixel knew that. While the orange farm pony looked menacing, ready to ride a rodeo. The one to her right was a pink Earthpony, mane like a party had set off. He turned his head to his left, a Pegasus with a creamish color of fur stood in an almost shy stance, but looks can’t be diseving. The unicorn caught his eye. There was a little blood on her fur and she was trying to wipe it off franticly with a white towel, that must be the unicorn that brought Sunset Cloud here. Silence crept in, Twilight has entered the peremasis. Pixel slowly turned around. “No need for a attack stance girls... he’s here to help us.” Twilight’s voice sounded off to the rest of the mares. They stood their ground for a few seconds before relaxing. Pixel felt uneasy. “What Exactly do you want? You didn’t just save me from death for nothing you know.” Twilight paused at the door and stated in a royal tone, “I’m the Princess of Friendship, am I not? I would have gladly saved you, if I would’ve known about it in the first place. I was just there to confront Princess Celestia about the accident.” She smiled. Pixel winced, that was a nice burn. Pixel looked around at the ponies. “Am I getting paid?” Pixel asked. The pink earth pony giggled. Twilight gave a sigh and shook her head. “I think that is the one thing I can’t provide, we could just use your friend here instead of you. After all you both survived the accident in Ponyville.” “I would gladly do it. Even if I didn’t get paid.” Pixel retorted, and smiled at the mares. “So... Can We work or not?”
Chapter 7“Before we go we must really say what our intentions are at the moment.” Twilight said using her magic to teleport a file into her magic. “Now that we know what we’re after, we can step into phase 2 an-!” She got cut off from Pixel. “Wait now hold on a second! What Exactly are we after?” Pixel was leaning against the hospital wall, Twilight sighed angerliy and replied in an annoyed tone. “Just read this file!” She threw the File into Pixel’s levitation spell. Pixel read it, there were a few Pictures and charts, but the thing that caught his eye was the fact that He was in it, and So was Sunset Cloud and Petal Cord. This file was dated back to the accident a year ago. He flipped the photos around inspecting it. There was a little note at the bottom of the file. It read, 2017: December 5th Three survivors Left the premises Unicorn, Male Pegasus, Female Earthpony, Female “What Exactly is this about?” Pixel asked again, he was getting impatient, Petal Cord and the other Friends of Twilight has already left for Ponyville. “This right here is what we’re after.” Twilight Replied pointing at another section of the page Pixel had not read yet. 2018: January 15 School being repaired back to origin design. The Construction Ponies has confessed a sudden urge to stop working, this lead to a defect in volunteers to rebulid the school. Some seeing a fiery substance staring at them from afar. Some who have seen this being are now getting treatment at the Red Rose Hospital in Ponyville. Sent in a expert in demon psychology. He’s been missing for more than 2 Months. Pixel Shuddered. Fiery Substance? Hopefully they don’t mean the demon from the portal. They even had a Picture of it. It was staring straight at the pony who took the picture. “No need to look at that Picture it’s just a bunch of static.” Twilight interrupted his thoughts. “There is a Picture here! not static!” Pixel said once more showing the Picture of the demon to Twilight. She looked at it and shook her head. “Just a bunch of Static, Are you okay? You need some Help?” Pixel shook his head and shoved the Picture back into the file and handed it back to Twilight. “I think we’re ready to go, I just need a few things before we find this... Demon.” Pixel grimaced. If this was the devil, he was going to beat The Devil’s Sorry Ass Goodbye for the Second time in a row! Petal Cord hopped off the train to ponyville. The air was sticky with humidity, the other mares got off the train. Tough the explosion had just happened the trains still worked and they were able to get home. Petal Cord felt tired. She needed rest. “So... what exactly will we be doing?” She asked, The one Known as AppleJack was the one to Speak First. “Ah do believe dat Twi, Asked us to bring ya to the castle. Knowing what we’re doing she’ll probably want to keep ya safe.” “And Sunset Cloud?” Petal Cord rose a brow to the other mares. Rarity simply sighed and spoke in a soft voice. “Well Darling, Pixel and Twilight are there next to her and they won’t be hear for another day or two. I’m sure she will be fine.” That lifted Petal Cord thoughts. She was just worried about Sunset Cloud. Being all hospitalized and stuff. Upon the thought of Sunset Cloud laying on the hospital Bed made her feel tired. She needed some sleep. She just survived an explosion, she needed rest. “Well I hope you don’t mind me sleeping at my house. Castles aren’t Exactly my thing. Though the thought is recommended I would still pefer my house.” Rainbow dash Nodded to herself before saying in her raspy voice. “Well, if you say so, But I will be there if anything does happen.” Petal Cord chuckled, “I Survived through Hell Thank you very Much! I’m sure I’ll be fine.” She stated to walk way towards her house. She stopped when Applejack Called her name. “We Know dat you survived Hell. Like today, Ah could agree with ya, but a year ago? That is your story to the world. Don’t get to caught up on it!” Applejack was right. The story of the Ending of New Begnnings, was just a story that only happened to Pixel, Sunset Cloud and Petal Cord. No pony else. She shook her head. Please let this be a dream. Sunset Cloud sat on the hospital Bed slowly breathing. The monitor to the left beeped with the notation that her heart was still beating. One of the nurses stood next to Pixel as he sat by her. She looked peaceful in her sleep, almost like a soul that never faced corruption before. The nurse stood by the door, and so did Twilight. They watched as a Pixel watched Sunset Cloud. “Who do you think he is?” The nurse said next to Twilight, She shook her head. “I think of him as a survivor.” The nurse nodded to Twilight’s comment. “Aren’t we all, to think of it as if the bomber should have bombed the hospital. Not that I don’t want that to happen just, that I’ve been watching a lot of movies the past few days. And each time I think of a bomber blowing something up. I think of a hospital Blowing up.” “That’s a weird thing to say,” Twilight looked back to Pixel. “But that is a theory that we can take.” “What do you mean?” “Whoever blew up the café meant to hurt somepony. But I couldn’t be Pixel because he was with the princess’s when it happened.” “Unfortunately this poor soul took the blast. She was one of the eight survivors you know. Most of the ponies were D.O.A, Dead on Arrival. And some were just K.I.A. Killed in action, Hence the explosion.” “What’s your name?” Twilight asked suddenly changing the subject. “The name’s Nurse Red Locke ma’am, but you can called me Locke.” She replied, Twilight had an idea in mind. But she had to confirm. “You training to be a doctor?” Twilight asked once more. Locke gave a look to Twilight and said in a hushed tone. “Not yet ma’am, I’m only a month away from getting my Doctors Degree.” Twilight smiled and said to her royally. “Nurse Red Locke, in honor of Princess of Friendship herself, I now make you a Doctor.” Red Locke looked at her surprisingly. “Really?!” She gasped. Twilight nodded and exited out of the room. She came back a few Moments later with a clip board in hoof and gave it to Red Locke. “Sign this and you’re now a doctor. Under my authority of course.” Author's Note Hey. Hope any one can see this. Maybe comment, but I’m not forcing a hand here. Just want to see how it’s going so far.
Chapter 8Pixel paced around the door to Sunset Cloud’s Room. He’s never been on edge like this in his life, that was a lie. Pixel knew that. It’s been a day since the explosion. Pixel stopped pacing. What about his Parents, His Siblings. He should have told them something first before he left. But what to tell them when he does. He couldn’t go like, ‘Hey mom! My Friends and I went to canterolot for the weekend! Hope you don’t mind!’ That would be bad, get grounded from leaving the house for more than for ever. He made up his mind. Using his magic he held up his hoof pulling up a holographic image. It was a Picture of his Mom and his Dad. He spoke into it gingerly. “Mom? Dad? Please Pick up.” Pixel said like he was holding a phone. This spell was a comuntication spell, unicorns learned this spell before the invention of the Phone. This spell was tied into the house phone in Ponyville. He was told to by his parents. On the other end There was a few crashes but then the spell lit up with sound. “Hello?” It Was Talon, Pixel’s younger Brother. “This is Talon, who’s calling?” Maybe he should learn some manners, Pixel thought. “H-hey Talon... Uh... How’s it going?” Pixel said. “Pixel? Where are you, Mom and Dad have been looking for you for like, ever.” “I’m in Cantrolot. Sorry but I Couldn’t bring you along. Nevermind that just... Where’s mom and dad?” “They are at Town Hall, There’s an important meeting or some sort.” “Tell them I say Hello okay?” Pixel said. Before Talon could reply Pixel turned off the spell. Pixel didn’t want to hear his excessive blabbing. Hopefully Everything would be alright. Pixel sat in a nearby chair. Twilight had left for Ponyville while Pixel stayed behind to watch Sunet cloud. It had just been a few minutes before taking with Pixel’s younger sibling, Talon. A nurse walked up to him saying in a nervous voice. “I assume your waiting for Miss Cloud?” Pixel nodded and examined the nurse. He recognized her from yesterday, she stood by the door when Pixel was meeting Sunset Cloud. She wore a white doctor’s Coat. Her mane glowed, in the lights of the hospital, a Bright Maroon with stripes of Green and a little bit of Blue. Her fur color, Hiddened slightly by the white Doctor’s coat, was light grey. Her eyes were crimson. She looked pretty, Pixel could Admit that. Pixel shook his head Slightly and Replied. “We’re you the nurse from yesterday?” “Well, Yes, Except now I’m a doctor. Princess Twilight assigned me as a doctor just yesterday.” She scratched the back of her head as she’s spoke. She didn’t like to brag. “Well congratulations! Miss?-” “-Red Locke, But you can call me Locke.” “That’s a nice name.” Pixel complimented. He sat up from his chair, and asked once more. “Why did Twilight Make you as a Doctor? Just wondering.” She paused before answering. “All she said was that I’m a doctor and that I should be in Ponyville as fast as I could. She never told me why though.” Pixel thought about this in his head then spoke clearly. “I think if you known, you wouldn’t do it.” “Why? What is it?” She asked. Pixel shrugged, he himself didn’t really know what’s going on. “I think we should should find out and see. After Sunset Cloud gets healed properly. We can head over to Twilight’s castle and talk to her. You know I’m in this too.” “I’ve noticed that.” Awkward silence filled the void. Finally Locke spoke. “So... Nice meeting you, Pixel.” Pixel hesitated, then he stammered, “N-nice meeting you too!” Locke gave a quick glance back to Pixel as she turned the corner. Fully out of Pixel’s sight she blushed, she smiled to herself momentaily before she shook her head violently. This story doesn’t have a Romance Tag! She thought. But she smiled at the thought that Pixel, was also Blushing. Twilight paced around the library to her castle, her mind turning gears in her head. If she could only put the pieces together. The incident last year at the school, result in massive casualties, many ponies died of being shot. Some ponies there got murdered and ripped apart limb from limb. A year later, a incident occurs at the Lab, one guard has been found dead by burns and a open rib cage like something was eating him. She shook her head. This doesn’t make sense. Where could this thing go, if it were surrounded by guards. Twilight banged her head with her hoof. She needs to think harder. She thought of many theories in life but couldn’t prove them. Spike walked into the library, a pile of books in claw. “Twilight? I think I have something.” Twilight moved her head facing Spike. She looked at the books. Most of them were just little files, if she remembered correctly those files were for the case of the Creatures. Spike walked over to her and set the books and files down on the table. “Wow these books are really old... Where did you find them?” Twilight asked blowing the front cover which puffed a cloud of dust. She coughed, and so did Spike. Spike explained to her that these were found in the attic. Twilight nodded and opened up each book. A Picture showed on the first page of each book. They looked like a bunch of lines. “What do you think it is?” Spike Asked leaning over the table. He turned his head to the right and then twisted upside down looking at the Pictures. Twilight looked at all of them and turned one of them around. The general idea of all these books were about Creatures from there worlds. She saw a pattern. Without thinking, Twilight used her magic to rip out each of the pages from the books. She also made the Table glow as she put each piece of Paper on it. Spike looked in the files and found more pictures with lines on them. Twisting and rotating these Pictures together made an image. Twilight slowly put the papers on the table and backed up. The image was quiet frightening. It was a ink drawing of a staillion with its lower jaw jutting out further than the upper jaw. The mane looked fiery and the hooves looked scourched. This only resembled a Demon. And she knew who this was.
