Children Of Madness

Dawn approaches the Empire as the rising sun shines on the horizon as Fear watches in his throne room and the door opens and five children enter, one of them being Reggie. They stand before Fear and bow before him and he smiles and says, " Ah my Favorite children, I am sorry to take you from your duties and fun. It would seem we have an Issue. ". They stand and each of them unique, smart, and deadly with there powers. From the dragons stood a man in a suit. gems and fabric that would belong to a fashion king, soaked in blood, his fangs stained crimson, his claws sharp like swords. His name is Draco.

Next from the Yak kingdom stood Crystal, she has two horns one of a madness child the second big Yak horns. She was the tallest of them. Wore barbarian clothing and strong enough to rip a massive oak tree from the dirt. Behind her from the Changling kingdom, his name is Robin. His eyes emerald and shine as he is excited to cause mayhem with his fanged grin. He wore a black skinsuit. Next to Reggie from the Hippogriff kingdom was Carrie. Her wings where both scaley fur and feathers and she wears ruby armor. Before Fear stood the children he doesn't need to control they stood as the Devious six.

Draco asks with a feminine tone, " Father Why must you call us back? I was in the middle of some tasty young fillies with a side of ruby red apple cider. ". Draco licks his lips as it shows he has four rows of sharp teeth. Crystal then says, " Crystal don't care why. Crystal only cares for destruction, fire, and death! ". Crystal stomps the ground. Draco then says, " Oh please its the screams you should adore, making them scream, twitch in pain and in fear tenderizes there meat. Now I'm homesick. ". Reggie sighs and says, " Please miss prissy your break a stitch and you break down crying. ". Draco growls and his eyes glow yellow with fiery anger and Reggie growls back. Fear annoyed says, " ENOUGH! ".

The Six bow before him. Fear goes to them and says, " I did not call you all here to bicker like foolish children. I brought you all here to help in my plans and rid ourselves of some pests. ". Fear motions them to stand as they do so and Carrie stands soldier-like and asks, " What is our task father I will make sure it will be done. ". Reggie then says with a chuckle, " Soldier of the year everypony general kiss a. ". Before he can finish Carrier says, " Oh hush it you annoyance unlike you I get the job done without fail. ". Reggie grumbles as the others chuckle.

Fear then says annoyed a bit, " The princesses lie beyond this infernal barrier, along with Celestia's elements of harmony. ". Draco with a smile asks, " Oh I adore those ponies, oh father may I please take them when your done I have so many ideas to set them up for a meal. ". Fear chuckles and says, " I must have the princesses the rest you can do with what you wish. ". Robin motions he wants Pinky Pie. Reggie watching him asks, " Seriously, can't we give him a voice box or tongue? Anything? ". Fear shakes his head and says, " I have tried many times to give Robin a voice but nothing works. ".

Crystal says annoyed, " Crystal will go in. Crystal smash and destroy the puny barrier. ". Reggie then says, " Yeah you have fun with that half brain, that barrier withstood father's punch and we all know how strong father is when he is serious. ". They all stood silent and nod. Carrier standing straight asking, " How can we get in then father? From what you tell us all we can do is wait till they either starve or till they attack. ". Fear chuckles and says, " My dear Carrie there are other ways to get what we want. All we have to do is have the right, leverage. ". They gather around as they listen to his plan.

========== In the empire =========

Worst in the blacksmith workshop working on a weapon. Twilight watching as he works and writes him his black book and she asks, " What are you writing down? Ingredients? Trail and error attempts? ". Worst closes it and says, "This journal is of my life and marks I make in it. Right now it's of annoying purple pest breathing down my neck as I work on a delicate process. ". Twilight rolls her eyes and notices something outside happening. She trots slowly to the barrier and she sees Emma hurt and going to the barrier and she sees Twilight. Emma pleads to her saying, " Help. Help me please. ".

Twilight looks at her as the other princesses come and see Emma hurting and breathing hard. Emma looks at Celestia with tears and says, " Please help me. I'm sorry. Father that monster he has been deceiving me. ". Twilight with anger and says, " No. We can never trust somepony like you, you've murdered innocent and spilled so so much blood. ". Emma shook her head and says pleading, " He tricked us. When I was born he taught me that the creatures of this world would hurt us first. He told me that I had to be strong and cold in order to live in this world. ". As they argue Celestia looks at her thinking in her mind.

Celestia thinking in her mind, " What should I do? This could be a trick, but she looks to hurt to be a trick. ". Celestia hears a voice in her head, one she remembers from long long ago. The voice deep and bellows, but it's strong and confident yet caring and loving. The voice then says, " Don't be alarmed, Celestia. It is good to talk with you once more. ". Celestia looks around and smiles lightly and in her mind, she says, " Lord Light, It has been so long. Where have you been I have been calling for you in my dreams and mind for these years? ".

with sadness Lord light replies, " I'm sorry I had other matters to deal with but I am here now. She tells the truth, Emma. ". Celestia looks at Emma as she has tears as she looks back, scared for her life. In her mind she asks, " Lord Light she has done so much evil, slaughtered thousands many of them have. Why should we trust her? ". Lord Light with what feels like remorse and grief as he says, " Cause I know all to well of what a loved one can do if scared and afraid. Her and her siblings, the Madness Children with red eyes are under the control of that demon. Forced to do his deeds against there will. ".

Celestia looking back at this war and with the new knowledge now understanding many things. Celestia asks Lord Light, " What would you do if you were in my situation? ". Lord Light then says, " Many things deserve a second chance if they have seen the actions they took and wish for redemption, would you give them it? ". Luna taps Celestia as she shakes her head and looks around. Luna asks, " Sister are you okay? ".

Celestia looks at every pony and looks at Emma and goes to her and with a caring smile she says, " We will protect you. ". The others shocked Luna says, " Sister are you mad? After everything she has done after what she did to us and all of Equestria. Why are you helping her? ". Celestia with a smile says, " Cause Fluttershy showed us with Discord, even a villain deserves a second chance. If they deserve it. ". Emma smiles with tears, thanking her.

The rest sighs but nods. Twilight looks at her and asks, " Wait how can we let her in? This barrier will hurt her if she touches it. ". Celestia than has an idea and tells the others to use their full power to make a hole in the barrier for her to pass through. They nod and each of them gets in position, their horns glow as they gather energy and strength as they all aim for a single spot and blast at it. They struggle and groan as Celestia's plan is working and a hole is opening up for her.

Emma then gets ready to jump Worst steps out to see what all the noises where and he sees Emma jump in. Worst then shouts, " Don't! Get her out quick! ". The moment she jumps through the hole she looks around then feels immense pain and screams the Princesses watch and try to figure out what to do as the hole closes. Worst moving fast he levitates Emma as she is screaming bloody murder as her eyes leak blood. The moment she leaves the barrier she stops and breaths hard.

Cadance then says shocked, " What in Tartarus just happened! ". Worst breathing hard as the hole seals shut and say's, " I don't know what you four were thinking but even if you do that the blood blossoms will still hurt them. Putting them in here is a death sentence. ". They watch as her eyes stop bleeding and she breaths hard getting up. Cadance thinks and then asks, " What about the underground Crystal Caves? Flurry always went down them a lot and they go deep underground do you think the barrier would go that far? ". Worst thinks and calculates and then shakes his head no.

Cadance takes Emma to the Crystal Caves. The rest then see a glow in the Blacksmith workshop as Worst grins and goes to it. Slowly the others go to it cautious of what is inside, the door opens slowly and they see Worst step out but he is human holding a sword with a black handle and a purple blade with ridges on one end that have a crimson red color. They are surprised and watch as he says, " So, who is ready for a new look? ".

========= On the other side of the Empire ==========

A young filly follows a butterfly as it flies around near the barrier edge and then he hears something. He looks outside and another young pony like himself and goes to him but stays behind the barrier. The pony motions to come out and play as he floats a shiny ball. The young pony looks wanting to play with the ball but remembers what his mom told him. The pony sees the other pony pointing at what he caught. The mysterious younger pony holds in a magic orb the butterfly and motions him to come closer to look at it.

The mysterious filly motions as the other filly looked at the flowers and then goes out the barrier to look at the butterfly. The moment he steps out Carrier swoops in and takes the filly and takes him to the Fortress, Robin transforms to have dragon wings and follows. Inside the fortress Carrier brings the child to Fear's throne room. The throne room doors slam shut and lock, the young filly scared-looking around shaking as Fear chuckles. Fear goes to the young child and says, " Don't worry little pony, all I want is your help with something. ". Fear goes to the young filly and grabs his mane and drags him off to talk.
