Children Of Madness

Weeks pass and Fear's armies march the grounds around Equestria and entering other territories. Blood spilled on the ground staining the rock and painting the homes of the victims, sadly the defending side couldn't hurt them for how can you hurt a child that is of your blood. Canterlot still standing barely as Luna is almost healed and the main six and Celestia helps those who have survived in this one-sided war. Celestia at a map of Equestria marking where the armies have been spotted and where they may head next. Celestia to herself says, " That monster, using our own children against us.".

Celestia looks at the Crystal Empire and says in her mind, " They seem to not have hit the Crystal Empire yet, I hope My message to Cadence to help with refugees got through. ". Celestia groans and she rubs her for head her eyes closed tight she opens her eyes and she sees a red mist around her and she growls and says, " Get. Out. Of. My. HEAD! ". She hears a chuckle echo as she turns to face Fear before her as he has a grin. Filled with hate in her eyes Fear smells her and exhales with a smile and says, " Oh your hate towards me mother, Oh how I missed it so dearly when away. So potent, so aged like a fine wine. ". He kisses his claws like a satisfied customer in a demented restaurant. Celestia watches him and asks, " Why are you here in my mind? ". Fear looks at her and says, " Why wouldn't I? I haven't seen my dear mother in a thousand years and I gave you grandkids. ". He chuckles and says, " Isn't that what a mother wants? Her son grown up and having a family of his own? Why you should be thanking me. Pretty soon I'll be taking over your job soon.". Celestia looks at him as her horn glows and he chuckles as he vanishes and in his place is a unicorn breathing hard saying, " I have a message from the Crystal Empire. ".

Celestia reads the message from Cadence and it tells that she can bring all to the empire, we can all help each other and try and stop this madness. Twilight enters and looks at Celestia and asks, " What should we do princess? ". Celestia looks at her and says, " Gather everything we are going to the Crystal empire hopefully we can figure out a way to stop this war. ". They hear a loud laugh that echos. They do not recognize this laugh, they run outside and see all the ponies and wounded species looking up and they see a humanoid creature high on the wall. The human is skinny with claws and has brown hair and those horns, he grins and shows his two rows of sharp teeth.

The Human jumps down and cracks the stone around him. The guards look at him as the other back away but what's different is that his eyes aren't glowing all red like the others. Celestia stands to him and asks, " Who are you? ". The human chuckles and it goes silent for a moment and his eyes widen and the guards surrounding him standstill and there spears and horns break in half along with there heads. Their blood sprays everywhere, Celestia surprised among others as no one saw the ghost arms and he smiles and laughs maniacal with an ungodly smile and bows to her with the blood raining on him. The human looks up with that smile and says, " The names Reggie. And I'm here to end the lives of every poor poor soul here with a smile on my face. ". Reggie smiles looking at every pony as they are in terror.

Reggie steps forward to every pony and out of know where Rainbow Dash with a spear flies fast into him stabbing him with a spear and slams it into the stone wall. Reggie coughs up blue blood and Rainbow with a grin feeling victorious turns to surprise and shock as Reggie laughs and looks at her. Rainbow backs up saying, "why didn't it work? why isn't he dead?! ". Reggie looks at her and says, " Wow you really are brain dead arent you. You don't know about my kind don't you? ". Reggie groans and chuckles as he pops the spear out of the wall with him still on it and walks to every pony and slowly pulls it out saying, " Let me teach you a bit about madness children. We are more tolerant of pain so a spear isn't going to do anything. Second, we like father have high regenerative healing. ". As he is saying all this he pulls the spear out fully and drops it and his wound closes as it wasn't there before. Reggie goes to her and cracks his knuckles and looks at her with a grin and says, "Let's see how fast you heal after I take your wings. ". Reggie extends his arm to grab her wing and Celestia blasts him into the wall keeping him there. Celestia then shouts, " Everypony! Get to the train station now! ".

As the main six helps those wounded and making sure the train is well for travel. Twilight stays with Celestia as Pinky and Applejack help Luna out to the train. Reggie burning in Celestia's sunbeam and he laughs as he struggles but gets down and slowly walks against her blast. His skin burns but with the healing the beam aren't doing much but slowing him down. Twilight puts her power with Celestia's Beam and it helps but even with two alicorns it is not enough and Reggie laughs and says, " You all don't seem to be getting the point it seems, let me fix that. ". Reggie gets closer and closer and as he is right before them as his chest is showing bone and muscles he grabs there horns and picks them up and slams both princesses together hard and throwing them into the gate walls.

Ringing in her ears Celestia dazed and eyes blurry as she sees Reggie walking towards them and she sees a flower pot on a window edge so in the last hit effort to get away she uses her magic and makes the flower and pot fly hard into Reggie's head. Twilight trying to get up as she tries to recollecting what's happening. Celestia gets up and goes to Twilight and they run but twilight sees Reggie hurting a lot more then the pot should have been. At the station every refugee gets on the train and is ready to go, Celestia and Twilight arrive as they set the train in motion and behind them they see the madness storm. Only one person can make that storm and he is coming closer. Celestia turns the train to full ahead as it steams and roars to life and heads to the destination and hopefully sanctuary. As they head to there destination Twilight looks behind and sees Reggie standing at the station with that demented smile as he is bleeding and Canterlot ablaze, her childhood home turned to ash and fire. With a tear she cries softly and Celestia puts a wing around her and comforts her along with her friends and spike.
