Waters: Part 2 - Dark May

January 23rd.

Gail Garry is on a Manehattan street. His powers are now gone and he must be in Canterlot now because of Plegovich's orders, but he will arrive late because he doesn't have money, a car... and, from out of nowhere, he lost one of the two pills he had when he visited W. Then, Garry calls Plegovich.

"Yes?"

"Sir," says Garry. "I was about to go to Canterlot..."

"Garry, I've already told you. It's OK. You can take the second pill today but don't do it again for this week."

"Yes, I know, but... I don't know where is the second pill. I think I lost it."

"Are you kidding me?"

"No."

"You stupid... do you remember where were you the last time you had it?"

"Yeah," answers Garry, after a long breath.

"Go there and look for it... I won't give you another one if you lost it."

"Sure," says Garry, and decides to go straight to W's apartment.

W's Apartment

W tried to call Plegovich two more times, but he didn't answer both calls again. He sits on the floor and lies his head against the blue couch. He grabs the pill that fell from Garry's wallet and looks at it. Is it worth it? Shall he try it? What would happen after taking it? Will it change its life? For a day? For a week? Month? Year? Forever?

He is about to take it, puts it in his mouth but then... he hears a voice. "No."

W turns around and realizes that voice is familiar. He knows it. Suddenly, Discord appears in the brown couch and looks at him. The Bedmaker stands up and looks at the Chaos Maker. "You?" says W. "What are you doing here?"

"I came here to warn you."

"Of what?"

"That thing," he says while pointing out at the pill.

"What?" says W. "Now you are my babysitter?"

Discord stands up and W realizes he is taking this very seriously. He has a really bad face. "No, you idiot. If you take that pill now, you will drown into your own blood."

"What?" says W, again. "Why?"

"I must explain this to you, W. That pill is dangerous for you, for me, for all."

"For you?" says W. "What are you talking about?"

"A friend of mine told me those pills are very dangerous. "

Both W and Discord sit down on the couches. "Which friend?"

"An old friend... I'll explain it to you later, because that's not important right now. The main thing here is that pill must not be inside you

"Why? Because of what Garry told me?."

"The Overdose thing? Yes!"

"Um... But he told me he only took a pill per day. I think if I do the same I wouldn't have an OD."

"No, you would have, because you never ate magic before like Kobolov, you don't have Garry's physical state, and you are not a one-arm douchebag like Doom Kid. The three of us do survive because of that."

"What? Cutting my arm in half will make me survive?"

"It's hard to explain... Verminium's magic is hard to digest. You can either survive or die with the same pill on the same day. It is unstable, irregular magic on a pill. "

"But... um, well... You may be right. These pills must be unstable, thank you. ."

"No, you should thank my old friend because he was the one who told me this."

"Who's your old friend?."

However, W looks at the blue couch and realizes Discord is not there anymore. He sighs and leaves the pill aside. He looks at the apartment's window and the small crack it has because of his fight with Garry an hour ago while thinking about Discord's words. An old friend? An OD? An unstable pill? What kind of crazy paradox is this? Then, W turns around and hears someone is knocking his door.

"Who is it?" says W while handling the door handle.

"Open," says a low voice that starts coughing.

W opens the door and looks at two men. One of them is a blue-skinned, dark-haired man with a moustache, a pair of shorts and a Doctor Whooves shirt. The other one has a light-blue skin, orange hair and moustache and he hasn't shaved for weeks. He is wearing jeans and a Wondercolts shirt. Both men have caps and sunglasses. "What the..."

"Finally we found you," says one of the men. "Long time no see, Walter."

"Jack... Abe..." says W, and he closes the door. Both men stop the door and want to enter the room, but W is trying to close the door. "I WON'T LET YOU ENTER!"

"Why?" says Abe. "We only want to talk!"

"I don't want to fall on your lies again! I know Delight killed my parents!"

"What the fuck are you talking about?" says Jack. "He didn't kill them! The Bitch did!"

W opens the door and both men enter. "Um, ok... and do you know who in the hell is the Bitch?"

Both Jack and Abe look at each other. "No," answers Jack.

"See?" says W. "This Bitch thing is all a lie! He is the Bitch!"

"He is not the Bitch!" says Jack. "He betrayed your father a time ago, yes... however, he never killed him!"

"Please!" says W. "Go away! GO AWAY! I don't want to have an argument! I have enough with Plegovich and his fucking project!"

Silence. Now nobody talks until Jack asks: "What project are you talking about?"

"Nothing," answers W while gasping. "Um... just nothing."

"Nothing?" says Abe. "What are you doing, W? In what kind of project are you?"

W closes the door and starts gasping. "Look," says W. "I won't come back to Los Mantos... I won't talk to the man who betrayed my family but... I have to be honest... Plegovich's plan... is... is..."

"Is what?" says Jack.

"Horrifying."

"What?" says Abe. "Horrifying?"

Suddenly, at the same time, Garry appears on the apartment's hall. He is about to knock W's door, but he hears something.

"He..." says W. "He is trying to turn Equestria into... Hellquestria."

"Hellquestria?" says Jack.

"He wants to kill Strict Proclamation, replace him as president and wants to turn the country into... into..."

"Into what?"

"He wants to be King Sombra," says W. "An authoritarian guy who gets rid of his few enemies."

Both Jack and Abe look now at W and then, at each other. "Wow," says Jack. "So... Plegovich wants to be a god."

"I don't agree with his plan but... you do know Plegovich is my only way now. If I deny his orders, he will kill me. Besides, I don't want to go to Los Mantos again."

"You know you are doing the wrong thing, don't you?" says Jack. "You are making a big mistake. Ron may have betrayed your father, but he never killed him. You are falling in Plegovich's game."

"Plegovich told me everything I need to know. He gave me the card, he told me about Ushin..."

"Ushin was killed by Plegovich, not Ron!" shouts Abe.

"No!" shouts W. "No, no! Go away, please! I don't want to see you again!"

W opens the door. Garry's not there anymore. Jack and Abe look at W now.

"W..." says Abe. "Think about what are you doing..."

"I'm doing my things, Abraham!" shouts W. "Now, GO!"

Both Jack and Abe leave the room and W sits on the brown couch and sobs.

"Garry? Did you find your freakin' pill?"

"No, but I found another thing that is more important."

"What?"

"I need to talk to all of you. I want you in Manehattan now, please."

"Why? Is it so important?"

"More than anything, boss. We must get rid of someone. We need to talk."

"Oh... I'll tell everyone we will have a meeting."

"Don't tell Waters."

"Um... why?"

"I will explain it to you tonight. Be fast, boss."
