Previous ChapterNext ChapterSandro first person narrative:
"this was going good all according to plan but then they had to show up. Five stupid,hypocritical,useless meres came in. That i think the only use for them is they all got together the charisma of a ghoul and no my acolytes not ghouls only one ghoul. So when they saw me i knew that i will need to do the nice necromancer shtick all over again so i had to act fast and i had the most stupid but genius idea if i don't get scorn by miss twilight or luna i will have the best of both worlds or it will bite me in my bony ass well in this case of my idea my acolytes bony flank. VOID TAKE ME".
twilight castle:
"twilight watch out". Rainbow dash said ready to attack the monster in the castle.
"twilight get the elements we will hold him off". Applejack said all so ready to help rainbow.
"oh i think not". Sandro said lifting his hand to them and second after he does that all five meres fall to the ground all most lifeless.
"what did you do!". Everybody in the castle said at the necromancer. And all so checking if their friends alive.
"twilight all of them are ok but i cant wake them up". Starlight said panic in her voice.
"its not only the girls its all of ponyville!". Spike shouted.
"Alejandro you better explain yourself or you will suffer the wrath of the moon!". Luna said using her royal canterlot voice.
"that was the last straw you broke your promise for the last time i won't stand for this to think i wanted to trust you". Twilight said tears and rage in her voice.
"SIT DOWN ALL OF YOU NOW!!". Sandro command them is voice powerful and full of rage but what was most surprising about is voice it wasn't in the open it was in their head.
At this point all the wake ponies and dragon where on the floor and they could not move and their bravery became fear in seconds.
"Now allow me to explain actions to the fullest i promise you after you will hear them you will see the logic behind it. And i promise to release you from your binds and all so the town and your friends". He said to them so he can be done with this drama.
"Ok then tell us why you incapacitated everypony except from us and it better be good". Twilight said using a demanding tone.
"Because miss twilight the four of you are the only ones that know what i am so far and in order to move in this world with out someone or somepony will scream monster". Sandro said laughing at the end of is words.
"So with the lovely idea of your student my plan is simple and elegant". Sandro said looking at starlight.
"What idea?". Starlight said confusion in her voice.
"Why miss starlight your second part of your second question to me".... Sandro answer her in hope she will get it.
"You mean you will...that can work!". Starlight said after hearing is plan.
"I don't follow". Spike said not understanding what happened.
"Be quiet now the grown ups are talking". Sandro said to spike.
"So your plan is to transform to a pony so everypony will not be afraid of you". Luna said to him to see if she understand the plan.
"Well it can work but what all about the ponies that saw you coming to town?". Twilight ask him to see how he will fix that.
"Well first twilight i will preform a memory altering spell on the town and your friends so the monster they saw will be some beast from your world and that you mange to drive it away but your friends got hit and fell unconscious". Sandro said to the room.
"And second no i will not transform my self to a pony but to something close". He reply to luna.
"So lets get started now if you don't mind i will not use magic for this. And one two and". The moment he said that no more a tall bipedal necromancer stood in his place but a very tall pony in the color of white and spots of brown on top of his body a gold and bronze armor and a bull like helmet on his head,a red cape and a short sword next to him and last his face pure and young.
"Now how do i look?". He ask them his voice changed he had a voice like sombra but less menacing.
"wow you are gorgeous". The three meres said to him.
"Why are you this tall ponies are not that tall". Spike said to up set by his new form.
"Well first thank you ladies. And to answer you young dragon i am not a pony i am a costa del toro horse". He said to the dragon.
"Whats a horse?". Spike ask him.
"Well that is a stupid question you live next to horses and you don't know what is a horse?". Sandro said to him and he was all so confused how he did not knew what a horse is.
"Because i lived next to ponies". Spike said to him in a condescending voice.
"Did you roll on your head in your egg a pony is a subclass of a horse the definition of a pony is a small horse". Sandro said to him in anger how this child don't know basic knowledge.
"Well that is the first we hear about this and we are thousand years old". Luna said to the room.
"Well after our plan will begin i need to teach you some basic academics". Sandro said to them in a depressing voice.
"Well never mind that so do we all know the plan". Sandro said to them.
"Yes we know now lift your spell. I hope this work for your sake". Twilight said to him angry.
"Don't worry i am lifting the spell in three two one and". Sandro hit the floor using his hoof and everypony started to wake up.
"Well show time". Sandro said to him self.
"what happened?". Applejack said waking up from her sleep.
"my head hurts so much". Rarity said in pain.
"i feel like i drink to much cider and not the good brand of cider". Rainbow dash said holding her head.
"girls finally you woke up you had us worried of a second". Starlight said to the rest of the girls bringing them some water.
"why where we asleep?". Fluttershy ask starlight as she was drinking her water.
"you don't remember?". Starlight ask them.
All five mares nodded left to right to signal a no gesture.
"well follow me to the dining room and i will explain on the way". Starlight said to them as they began to walk to the dining room and get some answers.
On the way to the dining room starlight was telling them what happened about the monster,lunas help in the battle,the five of them getting hit and falling unconscious up to the point they woke up.
"well you girls go ahead i need to check the school. Say bye for Twilight for me". Starlight said to them as she left the castle.
"hi Twilight". All the rest of the elements said to her.
"girls you woke up". Twilight said to them and hugging in joy. "spike is in the kitchen making something to eat and luna is talking to our guest". She said to them and walking with them.
"what guest?". The five mares said as they enter the room.
In the dining room they saw luna talking to a very tall earth pony dress as a knight. Rainbow and applejack where suspicious of this new pony, fluttershy was starting to get scared, pinkie was well pinkie and rarity was the only one that saw some charm in the strange pony.
"ah i see you girls are ok then?". Luna ask the mares as they enter the room.
