Crazy's New Experience
Chapter Three- Unlucky
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI started to run. Run from my problems. Run from my past life. No matter how fast I ran, my past, no. My curse will catch up.
It was morning when these empty thoughts ran through my mind. I was sitting on the side of the cabin. Just thinking about anything I can. I found my hand tracing up to my left arm. The area my hand arrived at was a bandaged up area.
The area on my left arm was not wounded, but something was covered. A piece of the mark stuck out. I quickly covered it with the bandage.
I stopped midway through to look at it. I peeled off the bandage. The mark right there, was the mark of my curse. It was a diagonal purple cube with a blood red outline of a circle in the center. Blood leaked out of the circle.
"I guess my luck is not so great today than." I squeezed my marking. I bandaged it up again, the only difference being fresh blood from the mark.

I had made substantially more change in my NEN today. I reached the log from kicking off the tree five times today instead of zero. I got a job today and made 100 of those coins which I recently found out were made out of gold! All I had to do was move some sofas and some pens.
Maybe the mark bleeding was a good luck sign. But never is. I'm terrified of what horrors are to come. All of these good things are making me even more paranoid. All this being said, I was grinning profusely at the moment.
I was excited. Thrilled for what will happen next. I inspected one of the coins. On one side was a picture of the sun. The other of the moon. I flipped it in the air, which while it was spinning it gave the illusion that the moon was covering the sun. I stopped grinning and grabbed the coin out of the air.
"Heads."
I called as my side. This would confirm if my luck was good or bad. I opened my hand.
The coin was not there. It's gone! I walked backwards and tripped over something. I fell backwards. I looked behind me to stop my fall. There was a nail sticking upward and if I did not stop my fall I would die. I put my hand down in between the nail.
I stopped my fall. I rolled to my side to get out of the nails way. I laid down and looked at my left hand. It had been shallowly cut by the nail in between my fingers.
I look over to what tripped me, and saw the coin wedged in between a building and the ground. I went and picked it up. I dropped the coin to grimace, as I had picked it up with my left hand. As it fell I noticed that the coin had become sharp from being wedged between the building. It cut my baggy pants as it fell and it lands on the side of the moon. Otherwise known as tails.
Oh no. I'm going to die tonight. I better go hide my stuff! I sprinted back home as fast as I could. I made it there without breaking a sweat. Within two minutes as well! I charged back into town, this time I was sweating a little. I really need to pace myself sometimes.
I was still charging into town with ZETSU active, when a root appeared right under my feet. It all happened so fast. I was now tumbling on the ground like a tumbleweed. I felt a sudden impact, and then a sudden cracking noise. I felt the pain immediately.
"OW! Why did it have to be my arm!"
As I shouted in pain I looked down at my left arm. It was fine, my right arm was not. It was completely distorted in ways I did not think was possible.
I poked my mangled arm. I suppressed the noise I was going to make. Being noisy makes people angry, which will get me more hurt.
I looked down at the wreckage that I had caused. It was my shop and my tree foundation toppled. Then I looked at my arm again. Last time I run with ZETSU active.
I reached up to my curse brand where my bandage was wrapped around. The bandage was missing. Where is It! I looked around and could not see it anywhere. I released my ZETSU and started my TEN. I was furious at the pain and my luck. Also my brand was not covered and bleeding.
Ponies started to gather around the wreckage I caused. I could hear their mumbling voices.
"He destroyed that tree!"
"I heard that tree was there when ponyville was founded"
"That monster is destroying the town."
"People like him should not be allowed here."
"We should get him out!"
"Get rid of him!"
"Turn him to stone!"
I clenched my fists.
"Annoying."
I spoke. Then, I started grinning.
"Hate me, love me, it doesn't matter! I will still exist. Farewell."
I jumped into an alleyway between two buildings. I felt a somebody watching me as I got away.
That confirms it. Somebody is watching me. I clumsily made my way to the outskirts of town where nobody would see me.
"Come out."
I looked around me for my mysterious follower.
"I thought I should have been unseen in the location where I hid. What gave it away."
"..."
"You don't talk much do you."
"I don't usually converse with creepy people. That's all."
The follower wore a mask so I could not distinguish it's identity. Not that I would know. What I did know was that they were a pony and not a human. The only other thing I knew was that they were not a Pegasus. It was wearing a small hat, so I was unable to tell if they are a unicorn or earth pony.
"I am here to kill you."
"What!"
I was stunned.
"Why would you want to kill me, Chan Linnaic? Are you sure you got the right guy?"
They pulled out a piece of paper. They looked down at the paper, and back up at me a couple times.
"Are you by any chance named Crazy?"
"Nope." I lied.
"Well okay, sorry for the trouble."
I giggled a little bit to insult how easy it was to lie to them.
"HEY! Stop that."
I started to slap the ground from my giggling.
A metal object embedded itself into my right arm.
"OW!"
"I'm done with you. I don't care if your my target or not! I guess it's your lucky day."
I pulled the knife out of my right arm and put it in my pocket. The assassin just looked at me with a strange expression.
"Did you just steal my knife?"
I looked at him.
"No..."
I stared with a blank look in my eyes.
"Most of my targets would be screaming in pain right now. What's going on?"
"We going to fight or something..."
I took this time to activate REN. This alerted the assassin and it charged at me. I sidestepped at the last moment and tripped the assassin. I also tripped in the process. The pony landed against the wall with the perfect angle for an attack, to my bad luck, and jumped back at me. I jumped back to a house wall and tried his trick. I tried to kick off the wall and catch the assassin off guard, but instead, I kicked through the wall. My feet were both stuck inside the wall.
I had to dodge very narrowly from the assassin with very little time to breath. I punched an area around my feet to escape the wall, just avoiding another attack.
I threw one of the throwing knives from my sock straight up into the air. I started on the offensive. I started with a direct punch. It missed due to the odd angle of my dangling right arm. Also I was not left handed.
I tried to kick dirt into my assailants eyes by kicking the ground. I got my foot stuck in the ground leaving me wide open. The assassin took this chance to attack me with a blade. I clawed my way out of the ground with my left arm, I barely got out.
I started grinning in excitement, but then I noticed something. I did not escape unscathed, the knife cut my curse mark. I looked at the curse mark in horror as it started to glow purple.
"Oh, no. What is going on!"
The assassin took his turn to grin.
"You are finally scared? Took you long enough."
"No! You need to run, like right now."
"Why should I! I have a kingdom to protect!"
"Do you have a life to protect?"
The blood from the wound turned a dark purple. The assassin ran up to attack me.
"It's too late for me." I said to him.
I pulled the knife I had put in my pocket earlier out and covered it in the purple substance. Then I threw the knife at the enemy.
When the blade hit the assassin, I felt the pain of the blade making impact immediately. I looked at the source of the pain, but there was nothing at the location.
I came to a conclusion. This blood must make me feel this person's pain!
I charged over to the assassin. I need to end this quick. I pulled one of my spare knives out of my sock. I was about to reach my target when we made eye contact. The look in the assassin's eyes was a look of confusion.
I slit the assassin's neck, and jumped away. When I landed around twenty feet away, I heard a tree fall, I also felt a new pain. I fell onto the ground.
I looked and saw a tree that had fallen on the body of the assassin. I shallowly spoke.
"...Still alive? Just die...already." I coughed.
I looked to my side and saw a boulder come out of nowhere, and land on the area where the assassin was. It felt like my spine snapped in half this time.
I felt something insert itself into my right arm. I looked at my arm, a knife was now embedded in my flesh. Oh yeah, I threw that in the air. I screamed in agony.
I looked over to the assassin and I saw a flash of light. I blinked a couple times and saw a new burn on the assassin's body. I started to feel the burning along with my other pain.
Did he just get struck by lightning! Ow! He did! Die already! I watched the assassin as they spontaneously combusted. I was feeling so much pain I could not breath. Then the pain stopped.
I jumped up and started hyperventilating, and shivering. I felt in my body all the burns, the broken bones, and that unbearable weight holding me down. It was gone now, but I would never forget it.
I got up off the ground, and started to walk into town. Hopefully there were hospitals here. My knife wounds still hurt, on the upside my curse mark was no longer bleeding a dark purple.
I was about to turn a corner. I stopped before I did, so I could take the knife out of my wound. I turned the corner and ran into something. A liquid poured over me as I had ran into some sort of container.
My wounds started to burn. I jumped away, and gripped my wounds in pain. I looked and saw a small pony child staring at me.
"Sorry mister, I spilled my family's lemon juice harvest on you!"
I spoke, while undergoing intense pain.
"Don't be, it was my fault. Where's the hospital?"
I asked on the verge of strangling the small little pony girl.
"I'm still sorry."
"That's great, where's the hospital."
"Are you a hoomin?"
"Yes. Where's the hospital."
"What's your name?"
I could not hold my anger in for too much longer.
"I swear, this kid is driving me crazy..."
"Hi Crazy! I'm Applebloom!"
"HOSPITAL!"
She pointed to the way she was coming from.
"It should be that way-"
I tried to run over there but I ended up just tripping and face planting into the ground.
I got right back up and ran off with a cloud of dirt behind me.
The hospital was across the street. I stopped running when I reached the door. When I stopped, I did not have a good grip on my cheap sneakers and just ended up sliding past the building and slid right into a tree. Which impacted my arm.
I walked to the door and opened it, no rushed movements. When I did, a medicine cart ran over me and didn't stop.
"HEY! WATCH IT!" I shouted at the cart.
I went inside the place and saw a sign on the wall the wall. I ignored it of course.
I talked to the pony at the front desk.
"Hey, I need help!"
The nurse looked at me with a blank expression.
"This is a pony hospital. We help ponies. Not humans."
I looked at the mare and gritted my teeth in anger. I charged out of the hospital and into the woods. Hitting several trees along my way.

I was close to my house now, and I should be able to cover up my injuries when I get to my cabin. I saw my cabin in the distance. The area around my home was now a clearing due to all of the training I had done there.
There was something different about my cabin. It was on fire. I stared without reacting for a moment.
"Well, that kind of sucks. Too late to save it now..."
I tuned around, about to walk away when I felt a sudden heat source around my right leg. I looked down and saw my pants on the right leg were on fire!
"WHY AM I ON FIRE!"
