Eraser
Chapter 9
Previous ChapterNext ChapterHearts raising, minds ablaze as Kesu backs away from the encroaching pink filly.
" Pebbles?" She worriedly asked as if she was trying to communicate with her calmly; showing that she was not a threat. But the filly did not answer, she just stared and slowly went near her without moving.
Fear began to creep as the filly nears. Goosebumps starts to intensify her mane began to stand.
By instinct she involuntarely began to point her horn at her, which she in turn was shocked at what she was doing.
Her voice began to raise as her fear for her rise. " Pebbles! Listen to me... I do not want to hurt you."
The filly stopped.
"...lies!"
As the filly screamed Kesu felt a strong static that pulsed through her. Stunning her for a second. She was forced to shield herself but still felt the pulse; her spell had no effect.
"!?"
She knew she was up to someone she should seriously consider a threat.
She quickly took a long leap back to give distance. But the filly was behind her as she felt her very soul react from a strong static.
She quickly looked behind and pointed her horn at where she felt the static. But there was no one there.
Tap.
She felt a hoof on her legs and as she looked down, there the filly stared back.
Her eyes pierced through her very soul as her senses began to fade her whole body begins to numb.
This... I'm.... Fading away?
She began to struggle to break away from the touch of the filly, which felt like her whole body is being grasped and torn apart.
Successfully she did, is what she thought but she was no longer in the top floor of the hall.
She was in a void.
" You... You have the same powers as me?" She asked in disbelief.
"...no"
As soon as those words echoed from the void, eyes began to open from the darkness. It was in the thousands.
"Wha—!? Where am I!?" She panicked.
" You are in my play room... And you will be my next toy."
Kesu felt a strong grab from the ground which shocked the very core of the pony. As she looked at her hooves, it was been grabbed by something she didn't noticed that she was stepping at. It was a corpse of a pony.
She looked in horror as the whole floor and room was actually made from corpses.
She began to sink and panic.
" Guhaaaa!!!?" She screamed in fear.
Her eyes would shift left and right trying to find a way to escape. She tried to fight back, but even erasing the corpses that's grabbing her another one would grab her and drag her down.
" Leave me alone!" She vanished.
Poof she fell to her void, she had erased herself.
She pants heavily as she tried to make sense of it all.
What am I up against with!?
The panicked mare had no time to rest as she felt the same static permiating inside the void.
Again... It happens! This is impossible!? This is where everything is erased!... Why am I feeling anything here!?
The place where she once felt insecure and alone, is now a safe haven for her, but now another entity barges in.
CRACK!
" Oh no you don't!" She began to fight back. She began to erase the cracks.
" We can also play here if you want."
The horrors in her mind shot through the roof as she looked behind her.
There the mare stood at the void.
"I-I did not invite you in..." She stuttered.
" Neither did I..." Hooves began to appear from the void, slowly replacing the void of Kesu into Pebbles's play room.
If she can freely come in the void... She could easily come out of it. I cannot simply erase her. Her thoughts of fear.
As the play room creeped so did the static she felt.
Her sweat began to pour her eyes dilated her hooves shaking, mind gone mad. Her heart deafening.
" Y-you... You made me do this..." She then tapped her horn in her head and the soul in her eyes vanished.
" !?"
Pebbles was taken by surprise as she noticed nothing from the body... No static.
" Did you kill yourself?"
"..."
" I can always bring you back to life silly... I say when you die mare."
As she pointed her hooves at the corpses the static bounced off and did nothing.
"!?"
"What did you do?" The filly asked curiosly
The soul in her eyes returned.
" Static... You have a very strong grasp of manipulating static." She then laughed.
" Static?" The filly asked.
" I suggest you behave yourself." She pointed her horn once more.
" So you can stop me?" The filly asked intuitively.
This took her by surprise.
Why? She thought.
" It would be nice to be normal again."
" Ah... I see... I'm afraid I can't make you normal... Only you can." The mare felt sorry.
" I can't though... It hurts when I stop..."
She then raised her hooves and began to attack Kesu with her static, but this time she can erase the static she released.
"Can't you not erase my powers? I do not want this..."
"Removing your static is death itself Pebbles! I'll help you control it! That's the only thing I think I could do to help!"
" ... Then you can't... That's what she also said." The filly frowned and her hair drooped straight.
The aura which was once static became dark and gloomy. The field around her became stronger.
" You adults always lie..." She then sank like a rock from the floor made of zombies.
She clenched her horn and hesitated for a bit.
" I know... They're all a bunch of liars..." She cried with anger, not only from those she hate but herself as well.
She mustered all her courage and dashed outside her safe spot from the void to the play room.
She blasted her horn at the ground and opened a path towards hell, where the filly awaits within the depts of the playroom.
She leaped in leaving her fears behind, in pursuit of the mirror bellow the labyrinth.
A beam of light penetrates this room of darkness. And at the center Kesu stood.
"Pebbles I want to help you."
Silence.
" I too have been lied too same as you, promised of greatness of ones ability, just to be locked up and used by others... I know the pain and I hate it."
She threw her horn.
" I will do all that I can to help you."
"...then please take it away. I don't want this power."
" Your ability is who you are, presumably your cutie mark. If I remove that, I'd be removing you. And if I just remove the static, you'll just make a new one."
"Then death it is."
" NO! no it isn't I've gone the same path as you. I didn't need to die... I learned. I grew. I over came it. You too can over come it Pebbles!"
" The same? Another one of those lies."
" I hate those liars too. And I'm not gonna end up like one of them."
She then sprinted into the darkness.
" My proof is that I can find you inside this darkness!"
She grabbed the filly from the darkness and yanked her out of it.
Pebbles was shocked and amazed, this mare was able to find her and pulled out from the darkness.
" How?"
" I too hid in the dark..." She hugged the filly and once more told her, " you can do it. I'll help you okay?"
" But... What about them? Everyone in the farm is dead..."
" Let them rest. Can you do that?" She ask.
" I'll miss them..."
" Is it really them?"
" ...no... Not really..."
The filly hugged tightly to Kesu and whipped softly at her chest.
The play room began to shake and about to collapse.
" Oh cr- poop! We're still inside."
" Hihi the filly giggled slightly."
" Silly filly this isn't the situation we should be laughing at, we'll be buried alive you know?"
" Then let's go to the void! I kinda liked it there!"
"Easy for you to say..." She smiled worriedly.
The room continued to shake as she rushed towards her horn. As soon as she grabbed it she began to whisk it to the air.
" You ready?"
The filly nodded and both vanished to the void.
The farm shook and began to crumble, sinking below and turned into a lava pit.
" A shoot... How am I gonna report this to the princess?" Rockhoof scratched his head as he worried.
But before the dust would settle from the farms collapse, giant shadow like trees would grow out from the lava pit and spring out leaves made of fire.
This astonished and scared Rockhoof.
" Guess I better head back to Canterlot." The lone stallion trotted along the path northwards.
The void, where Kesu kept her emptiness, now a place she could call home.
The two would enter and Kesu would drop from fatigue.
" Ahg! Uufff.... You don't mind if I catch a bit of rest right?" She asked pebbles.
" You're tired already?" She pocked her while she lied down.
" Hey stop pocking me. You know, I'm like your big sister now! So you should respect and listen to me."
" Boo you suck as a big sister."
" Hey!"
The filly smiled as she mocked her.
" Hmmm..." She pouted.
" That said... Don't forget to really on me as well okay?" She said as she ruffled the filly's head.
" Hey! Hihi!" She giggled.
" Okay, I will..." The filly smiled and laid beside her. " I guess not everyone lied..." She said as she snuggled beside Kesu.
Kesu was genuinely happy as she has seen herself from the filly. In a way, she saved herself.
" I can't believe I let myself lose to you hihi" the filly snickered.
" Wa— you should know I was handicapped." She then booped her nose.
"You know I can do it too right?" She then whizzed back and forth from Kesu's void, appearing beside her then at her back.
" Not a bad idea... That way you can learn how to use your powers while depleting the static you've been producing."
" I don't think it's reducing it though... It's more like charging me up even more..."
The both stared at each other for a bit.
" Okay; good to know." She then tapped her horn at Pebbles.
" Hey that tickles!" She giggled.
" You can keep on practicing that, just tell me when it starts to hurt okay?"
" What about you? Doesn't it hurt when you use your powers?"
" It does... But you get used to it... Part of growing up I guess?" She shrugged.
" What? That's just silly!" She giggled.
" Didn't I promise to help you? I can handle a little pain."
" Thanks... Um... What's your name?"
" It's... Hmm... I go by the name Eraser, the pirate earth pony as my alternate identity! But my secret identity is Kesu! The dazzling and beautiful princess of the east! Banished by her pony kind and know a wonderer out to seek the truth!" She epically announced as she aimed to entertain the filly, which did not work as the filly cringed and tried to be entertained.
".... Um wow."
" Hey! I was being serious!" She began to tickle the filly in retaliation.
" Hey! Hihi!"
The two played inside the void as they learned a little bit about themselves; growing ever so slowly.
" What the fuck is this!?" Comfy yelled as she stared at the giant shadow tree where the Rock Farm once stood.
Author's Note
My head hurts from studying bio electricity and static fields... Yes through my studies, I'm basing pebbles and necromancy through these fields.... Static fields and bioelectricity... Why she can move through dimensions electrostatic... This also links up why pinkie pie can fourth wall and why she has a balloon as a cutie mark and her connection to rocks and her family.... Basically pinkie pie is the ultimate rock.
