A Boy's Tears 3: New Beginnings

Sleeping and not aware of what just happened to them a little while ago, Colin and Spike were dozing off like babies in some kind of large square cell. It didn't take long for Colin to wake up and look at his surroundings. The human boy suddenly remembered what he and his dragon friend had endeavored. Beginning to panic, Colin sat that he was in some kind of cell with... a fuzzy blanket and nice bed? But still a prison cell. "Spike." he began rocking the baby dragon's small body back and forth, trying to get him back to reality. "Spike wake up!"

At last, the baby dragon woke up with a fright. "What?! What? What happened?" he looked around in a worried expression and he let what was happening sinking in his small body.

"The Mane-iac kidnapped us, remember?" Colin refreshed his friends' memory. "We were hiding from her in mom's cottage and she found us and took us to... wherever this place is." then both boys heard the sound of a crazy cackle that echoed in the room. Both of them grew scared and hugged each other for comfort as the evil and crazy cackling continued to echo. It was almost like a ghost was haunting the place.

Suddenly, the doors barged open and there she was, the Mane-iac with two of her henchponies accompanying her like bodyguards. "Excellent memory, my dear," Mane-iac said. "Yes, i pulled out some sleeping gas and brought you both here to my humble abode in Maretropolis!"

"Maretropolis?" said Colin

"The comic book world me and my friends got sucked into to fight the Mane-iac." Spike pointed. "And this is her lair."

"You really do your homework, do you, my dear?" Mane-iac used a tendril to tickle under the baby dragon's cheek a few times teasingly"

"What do you want, Mane-iac?" asked Spike, trying to be as brave as possible.

"Just you." Mane-iac flatly said with a cute smile on her crazy face. "And revenge on your little friends too. After humiliating me before, I intend to return the favor on you. All of you." she sounded rather menacing on the last part she said.

"But i had nothing to do with this." said Colin

"Oh I know. I'm an evil villainess after all, and causing destruction is what i love to best." then she let out a crazy chuckle. "They do not call me The Mane-iac for nothing!"

“What are you going to do with me?” Asked Colin

“hmm, you know, I honestly do not know what to do with…. Wait!” She snapped a tendril the shape of a a pair of fingers. “I think I know what to do with you.” She walked up to him. “Since you are… possibly the only kind of creature in my world, you can be of service to me.”

Colin gulped and he asked: “what do you mean?”

“I suppose I should be as specific with you as possible, sweetie.”

“wait! You can do whatever you like to me, but leave Colin alone!”

“now that wasn’t very nice.” Said Mane-iac amusingly. “Granted you may not be humdrum, but you have such spunk for an adorable creature your size. I deeply commend you for it, Spike. So I suppose I can have some fun with both of you.” She pulled out her hairspray ray of doom and sprayed it at the two boys? Rendering them paralyzed and unable to move. She picked them up with her tendrils and walked out to the main part of her lair and bound them to some kind of torture boards, and their wrists and ankles were bound by metal cuffs attached to the board.

Colin’s heart was racing rapidly, getting more and more scared about what was going to happen to him.

“There! That should do it.” Said Mane-iac with an evil grin on her face. Of course, let me get rid of that shirt to make it more interesting.” She used one of her tendrils to slice the human boy’s shirt, leaving his upper body naked.

“Why are you doing this?” Said Cody. “Why are you evil?”

“why?” Said Mane-iac. “Why?!” Her voice rose to a scream for moment there and suddenly, and rarely, she calmed herself down. “I wasn’t always like this.” Then she let a drone show on her face. “You see, I was trying to keep up with my work as the owner, founder, and proprietor of my shampoo. It was selling like a plague, and i had to do everything i can to make my product sell as fast as possible."

"You were power mad." Spike pointed out.

"Oh no, what you heard about me is nothing but a lie, Spike. I am... or was a business-pony. I had to do what is absolutely necessary to keep my company alive and well, like a mother with her child. So then the... event happened. I accidentally fell of a catwalk in my factory, fell into a mix of my shampoo with a down power-line in it, and then... there is the birth of me! THE MANE-IAC!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" her evil cackling echoed in her factory again. "So in conclusion, she sounded calm again, and cleared her throat. "I swore revenge on the city for what happened to me!"

"Why the whole city?" asked Spike. "They didn't do anything wrong. They didn't make you fall into that pit that made you crazy."

"He does have a point, milady." said one of her minions, only for him to be conked on a the head with a tendril shaped like a wrecking ball.

"Quiet, Hair Stylish! I'm the one who is talking here." turning back to the captive children. "Anywho, i honestly like being evil. It suits me rather well, like a perfect-size coat in a cold winter day. Anywho, prepare to meet your worst nightmare, boys!" two mechanical robot arms appeared from the ceiling and had a large, very ticklish feather in them. The two boys knew exactly what was going to happen next. "Prepare for a long, merciless tickling!"

the robot hands did their work and began tickling them on their belies and chest mercilessly, making them laugh uncontrollably. The unhinged mare watched on as the kids were being helpless in this kind of tickling.

"Ah, it warms my heart to see children being tortured like this. This is bound to lure those ponies here so i can exact my revenge."
