It was a new day in PonyVille. It’s just a few days since the messed up Summer Sun Celebration but the atmosphere in the town could be one of the happiest towns you’ve ever seen. From the distance, one castle can be seen. The castle is known for Castle of Friendship, which is one of a few castles that wasn’t built but emerge from the depths. In the castle there are a few creatures that live in it. But for now, we’re focusing into one specific room that located across Starlight’s room. In the room, a pony can be heard snoring even though it’s already late. The pony suddenly wakes up, revealing his white furred face. The pony is Raze, or should be called an alicorn. He wakes up and yawning while enjoying the sunlight hitting his face. He smiled in enjoyment while looking around. He suddenly makes a surprised face as he was confused.

‘Wait a minute. Whose house is this?’ Raze said in his thought. Then he make a poker face, ‘Oh yeah, now I remember. This is Twilight’s castle. I haven’t slept that long since I was a foal.’ He gets out of the bed and doing some stretching while thinking out loud, “Alright Raze. It’s now your chance to be a changed colt. Actually…I didn’t expect that I would live in this castle.”

He tries to remember the conversation between him and Twilight.

They were walking back to PonyVille after the celebration was over. Raze was walking by Twilight’s side. It’s just both of them since Spike already gotten home. It was an awkward silence for Raze. About Starlight, she already patched up and brought home by Trixie. Suddenly, Twilight looked at Raze, “Raze, why don’t you show me your house? Maybe I can swing by when I want to teach you the magic of friendship!”

Raze chuckled nervously, “Uh, um, actually…I doesn’t have a house. Don’t you saw than in my memories?”

“Oh yeah, I forgot,” said Twilight. Another silence occurred. Twilight then got an idea and continued, “Why don’t you live in the castle with us?”

That makes Raze eyes widened, “A-are you sure? I don’t want to…”

“Don’t worry, it won’t weigh me! Even though it’s gonna take a while to convince Starlight that you’re going to live across her bedroom.” Twilight chuckled.

Raze didn’t laugh. He knows why Starlight won’t like that. Raze almost killed her during the battle and she definitely won’t like that. But he smiled anyway as soon he imagined how funny it would be. He suddenly laughs out loud. Twilight that walking besides him joined in the laugh. As they finished, Raze looked at Twilight and gave her a warm smile that would calm anyone down. Raze touches Twilight’s shoulder and said calmly, “Thanks, Twilight. If you’re not the one who trusted me, I think I will be turned into a stone.”

That smile makes Twilight to smile and blush a little. The sudden wind breezes make the atmosphere livelier. They finally kept walking towards PonyVille even though it’s gonna take a while.

Raze smiled remembering the time he talked with Twilight. He stretched for the last time and opened the door of his bedroom. As soon as he opened, he was stunned.

Starlight, in front of him also opened her bedroom door. Around Starlight’s back and barrel, a bandage was patched. Both ponies were staring for a long time. Raze were nervous started to break a sweat while Starlight just menacingly staring at him with hatred. When they walked, both of them were going into the same direction. For a long time, both of them were walking side by side. Raze were getting more nervous while Starlight getting more irritated. They both arrived into the kitchen when they see Twilight and already occupied seat on the table.

“Oh hi, Raze! Hi, Starlight! Come one have a sit! Spike is cooking a special pancake today.” Said Twilight when excitedly watching both of the ponies were side by side. Then, both of them going their own chair and sit on it and now, they’re facing each other. Raze just smiled nervously while Starlight stared him with full hatred. If she can choke Raze on the spot till the alicorn was dead, she would do it. But to respect Twilight’s decision, she’s going to let Raze slide. Finally, the awkward silence was interrupted by Spike.

“Here’s the best of the best for both of you,” he prepared the delicious looking pancake in front of Starlight and Twilight while talking elegantly, “for me,” he put a pancake that covered in gems, still talking elegantly, “and lastly..” he putted a little bit burnt pancake in front of Raze. Suddenly, he felt that he was being stared by two creatures. When he looked at Spike, Spike was giving a deadly stare at Raze. Raze immediately chickened out as soon he remembered that Spike is Twilight’s step brother meaning that Princess Cadance actually count as his sister.

“For you.” said Spike, sounds like he was threatening Raze’s life. He sits on his occupied chair, start reading and eating his pancake while covering his face with the Power Ponies comic. It was an awkward silence. Raze just ate the pancake even though it was poorly made. As soon he eats that, he actually satisfied. He finished it in just a few seconds and commented, “Wow…that was a very good pancake!”

Spike turned down his Power Ponies comic and stared Raze; he thought that was sarcasm. Starlight also starts to stare Raze. Raze who realize that immediately sit still and looked down like a punished filly. Both Starlight and Spike rolled their eyes and continue on doing what they’re doing. Raze backed off his seats and told them, “W-well, I better g-go somewhere.” He walked out but Twilight shouted, “Wait, you’re staying! We will have a first lesson of friendship.”

Raze eyes widened his eyes and turned around. He chuckled nervously, “Uh…okay…”

Twilight clapped her hooves, “Excellent, I have a good first lesson for you and this is going to be great! Come on follow me!”

Twilight was excited. She runs and pulled Raze on her side, leaving Spike and Starlight eating their pancake. Spike lowered his comic and looked at Starlight, “Are you thinking what I’m thinking?”

Starlight looked back, “Let’s go.”

Both of them stopped eating and immediately run in hurry towards somewhere in the castle.

Twilight was pulling Raze across the street attracting the attention of everypony around them.

“Twilight, where are you taking me?!” ask Raze, shouting in confusion.

“We’re going to meet every single of my friends and the first one is Sunset!” Twilight says excitedly.

Sunset?! Raze thought screaming in fear.

Raze replied nervously, “Why, Sunset?! Can’t we start with someone else?!”

Twilight excitedly reply, “Because it happened that, Sunset is perfect for this lesson!”

“WHAT LESSON IS THIS?!” Raze shout, asking Twilight.

“This is your first lesson: Learn to apologies!” Twilight replied in excitement. Raze eyes widened but realize it was too late to refuse. He just accepted the fate that was fallen upon him.

In the castle, Spike and Starlight was investigating Raze’s room. They investigate every corner of the room but nothing seems odd in the room. Their eyes finally lay onto his saddlebag. They both get closer to it.

“Do you think he might have something up in his sleeves?” Spike asked.

“I don’t know, but we might found out after this.” Starlight immediately opened his saddlebag and start investigating.

“You know, I think this is not such a good idea…” Spike tries to negotiate with Starlight.

Starlight turned around, “Seriously? You’re the one who said this was a good idea!”

A few flashback occur,

After Twilight and Raze fall asleep, Starlight and Spike meet up in the kitchen.

“I think Raze has something up his sleeves,” said Starlight giving her opinion that night.

“If he does, how can we prove that?” Spike asked towards Starlight.

“I don’t know…maybe investigate his room?” Spike gave an idea.

“That’s sound good but are you sure you want to barge in and just search his room in every corner?” Starlight asks with caution.

“I think it’s good enough. When Raze was distracted with Twilight, we took that chance,” said Spike confidently.

End of a flashback.

“What’s this?” said Starlight whilst lifting an old diary. She flipped through the book whilst reading the pages. Her eyes widened, “GUSTY THE GREAT?!”

Spike eyes widened, shocked too, “Gusty the Great?! What do you mean?!”

Starlight shows Spike the pages and it widened his eyes, “What’s this? I can’t understand what it says.”

Starlight replied, “Oh, it’s an old language but I manage to use a magic to translate it anyway. Here, let me read it for you. She read it out loud,“I, Gusty the Great, have found the six ways to conjure magic elements. It categorized as, Power, Concentration and Imagination which is the basic elements.”

“Wait, so theirs is no three way to conjure a magic?” Spike ask in confusion.

Starlight replied, “Yes, it says there’s three ways to conjure a magic in StarSwirl’s book but in here, it says there’s six!”

Then she keep reading,

“The basics can be learning from the very young age. However, there are three more ways to conjure but it needs a next level of concentration, persistency and focus. It was Agility, Precision and Endurance. This kind of conjure can be handled at the same time, making the spell caster to have a higher ground in the battle and that’s what I’m doing. Myth says, if you able to master all three of this, it will be easy for you to learn the basics ways making you the strongest mage in Equestria.”

Starlight and Spike looked onto each other. Starlight shakes her head then shout, “Where did he get this diary?!”

“That doesn’t matter, what matter now is that this diary is not what we’re looking for. Come on, check if there’s another diary.”

Both Starlight and Spike tossed the diary aside and keep on searching for something that has to do with Raze.

Raze and Twilight is now walking towards Sweet Apple Acres. Twilight sighed in disappointment, “Sunset didn’t seem to be home. Oh well, nevermind, we’re going to do the second friendship lesson; helping the others!”

Raze tilted his head while walking besides Twilight, “Helping…others?”

Twilight smiled, “Yes, it means that you offer to help them! Do you understand?”

Raze nervously smiled and replied, “Yeah, I sure I can!”

As they arrived, they saw Applejack carrying a wagon of apples. Applejack saw them coming by and decided to take a closer look.

Twilight whispers to Raze, “Hey, try to ask her if she needs help!”

Raze gulped as Applejack closer. Applejack closer and looked towards Twilight while staring at Raze, “What are you doing here Twilight? And…why Raze is here?” she look at Raze with a confused face.

Twilight smiled and pushed him to face Applejack, “Oh yeah, he want to join me to have a walk so I have a good idea!”

She gives Raze a sign by giving Raze a weak elbow hit.

“Oh! Uh…yeah.” said Raze nervously with a nervous smile. He cleared his throat and speak in a cold and threatening voice, “Do you need any help, mortal?”

That makes Applejack to frighten making her face to sweat as Raze sounds like he’s threatening her. Twilight suddenly pulled him to her side and whisper, “Don’t speak in that tone! Speak in a calm and friendly voice!” said her before put Raze into his position back. Raze chuckled nervously and cleared his throat once again, “Oh…uh…I mean…” Raze sighed and gave her the most charming and calmest smile that make her to be stunned and a little blushed.

Raze asked, “Do you need any help, Miss Applejack?”

That makes Applejack to have a slight blush. She rubbed the back of her head, can’t react to the awkwardness in the atmosphere. Twilight whipers in Raze’s ear, “What is that smile?! That’s not a calming smile, that’s a charming smile! Are you trying to flirt with her?!”

Raze gulped, “W-Well, Applejack! I *gulped* may I ask if you…”

“We don’t want a help from a pony that dare to hurt our dear princess!” an old mare voice can be heard from the distance. It was Granny Smith; besides her were SugarBelle, who gave a little empathy, Big Mac, who gave Raze a deadly stare and Apple Bloom, making a disgusted face while looking at Raze. She slowly walks towards Raze, “I rather have my back bone split into two rather than having a help from a pony that causing a ruckus on our princess!”

Raze didn’t move at inch, totally scared. Twilight saw that situation and interrupted, “Come on, Granny Smith! You can give him at least one chance!” She grinned awkwardly to the old green mare. The old mare doing a side eyes stare whilst inspecting Raze from the top to the bottom. The old mare sighed, “Alright, youngin’, I’ll let you to prove it this time. But that doesn’t mean I trusted you! Big Mac will keep an eye if you’re going to have one heebies-geebies.”

Raze looked towards Big Mac, Big Mac just stared him with hatred. He gulped down, hoping this plan won’t go south.

In the castle, Spike and Starlight are now leaning back to back on each other. They were tired after searching the room for entire hours.

“We have been searching for an hours! How come there’s nothing in this room?!”

Starlight stand up after the lean, “*sigh* I think Twilight is right. There is no way Raze is going to do anything bad.”

“Yeah, I think you’re right. Maybe it’s just us who think about it.” Spike nodded agree. Both of them abut to step out, but another book caught the attention of Starlight. She goes on Raze’s desk and lifted the book with her magic.

“Huh, I thought I didn’t see this book before.” Starlight inspected the book from the front to the back of the cover. She opened and read the book, her eyes were widened.

“Spike, come back! Look at this!” Starlight called Spike making the baby dragon to comeback.

Spike come back and look at Starlight with confusion, “What?”

She shows Spike the book. Spike read it,

Raze log #156, the spy on the Mares

Today is a pretty decent day, not so much to say. The 7 Mares that I spied on, they just defeated Chrysalis once again. It’s seems that the necklaces they wear is giving them the source of the magic. But once I gave a second look, the necklaces didn’t give any magic. I realize, there is one source of magic coming from their leader, Twilight Sparkle. It’s seems that their leader harness a pretty strong power. If I just could find a way to absorb it…

That log make Spike’s eyes widened, “Do you think what I’m thinking?”

Starlight and Spike just stared each other.

Twilight and Raze just finished on Sweet Apple Acres, very early. It’s look like that Raze have a bruise on his body and his nose were bleeding a bit. Twilight looked at Raze’s face in annoyance, “Ugh, how come you could kick that strong?! Even neither Applejack nor Big Mac could kick the tree that strong!”

Raze looked into the sky, trying to remember what exactly happened.

A few minutes ago, Raze and Twilight were in the middle of the apple trees with Applejack and Big Mac teaching Raze how to buck properly.

“Alright, before you help us, I’ll show ya a thing or two,” said Applejack. She walks towards the nearest tree with Big Mac next to them. She faced Raze and Twilight with her forelegs facing an apple tree.

“To buck a tree, you have to make sure get a right angle and…” Applejack deliver a strong buck, causing a bunch of apples fall off the trees, “the apples will fall without leaving any single one hanging.” Applejack smirked while looking at Raze, “Now you give it a try wont’ cha?”

Raze gulped and walk to the trees next to Applejack. He does the position just like what Applejack shows him. He’s about to deliver a buck but Applejack interrupted, “Gave it a strong buck, partner!” Raze nodded. He raises his forelegs while taking a deep breath then he delivers a strong buck. But what happen next caused Applejack, Big Mac and Twilight to flabbergast. Raze’s buck caused the tree to split into half and sent it flying in the air across the farm. Raze’s eyes widened and he said, “Oops, my bad.”

When Raze turned around, he was shocked when he sees both Big Mac and Applejack stared at him with full anger.

“HOW DARE YA KILL APPLE JUNIOR!” Applejack shouted in anger. “I’M GONNA MAKE SURE YOU’LL PAY FOR THIS!” she immediately chases Raze with Big Mac following her from behind. Raze shrieked to the top of his lungs. Before he could run away, Applejack and Big Mac already reached him and start to give Raze a single blow to his face. It’s now a ruckus as Raze screaming for help while Applejack and Big Mac screaming in hatred while giving Raze a few blows.

“ARGH!!!!!!! TWILIGHT!!!!!!!! YOUR FRIENDS!!!!!!! *GASP* NONONONONO-”

One punch landed straight to the face. After a few minutes, Twilight was able to bring Raze out of the fight. They decided to leave early as Raze accidentally bucked their trees into another part of the farm.

“She told me to give a strong buck! It’s not my fault!” Raze trying to defend his statement.

“Yeah, but not bucking it to the sky!” Twilight replied him to her annoyance. “This is going to take a while…nevermind! Next one is being generous, let’s get to Rarity’s boutique and we continue our lesson!”

Twilight get ahead of Raze, leaving him to follow Twilight from behind. In Raze’s mind, a negative thought start coming in,

“Do I really a good guy here? Or am I just being a faker? No…I can change. I believe I can.”

He shakes his head and leave out the negative thought and carrying on with his next task. Slowly, something dark, is consuming Raze from the inside.

Raze’s New Log #1 o be a changed Colt

Twilight had shown me the way. She believes I can change. It’s time for a new way of life. It’s time for me to make up all the mess I made before. I don’t know if I can. They…they’ll hate me. I’m not worthy for anyone but for now, I’ll see what I can do. I can be a changed colt. I…I don’t know if I can.

That is the most recent log that Raze’s wrote. This makes Spike and Starlight to look at each other.

“All of the logs just contain information he gathered about us,” Spike said in disappointment.

“But look, it’s says ‘I don’t know if I can’! That means that Raze may have something upon his sleeve!” said Starlight trying to defend her theory.

“You can’t just say it like that. How come he is a bad pony if we can’t even find his true purposes? I think we got to do something bigger. We got to do something…hidden.” said Spike while making squinted eyes.

“You mean…we spy on Raze?” Starlight asks in confirmation.

Spike replied, “Yes.”

Both of them start running to find the exact location of Raze and Twilight.

Twilight and Raze are now heading towards the last place of the lesson - Fluttershy cottage. Twilight is so frustrated for what happening before. Raze has messed up so many lesson, from helping Applejack which end up into a fight to Pinkie’s Baking Session which nearly let the house covered in fire, thanks to Twilight ability to create a water in the thin air, she’s able to create enough water before the fire spread out.

Twilight muttered, “I didn’t believe that you messed up so much. From destroying an apple tree,” she shouted angrily, “YOU NEARLY BURN THE ENTIRE SUGARCUBE CORNER?!”

Raze didn’t look at Twilight and stared the floor. He recall back what happened,

Raze was creating a dress with a gems while being watched by Twilight and Rarity.

Twilight was happily talking, “It didn’t turn out so well at Sweet Apple Acres but at least it’s getting better at here. Right, Rarity?” the mare looks onto her fashionista friends. But Rarity’s face didn’t show any face of happiness.

Rarity muttered slowly, “Don’t worry, Rarity. It’s just a hood.” The whole time, her eyes didn’t seem to take off from Raze’s hood. She can’t handle the resist to clean up Raze’s hood that dirty and smelly. She muttered again, “Don’t worry…it’s just a hood. It’s just a dirty, smelly and poorly designed hood.” She can’t handle it anymore, she try to approach Raze that still focusing on sewing the hood which making Twilight confused.

“Hello, Raze. May I ask you a question?” said Rarity politely.

“Yeah?” Raze reply without looking at her.

“Why don’t you take off your hood? Don’t you feel hot in here?” Rarity asks again.

“Uhh…no? I don’t think I want to, sorry, Rarity. Besides, I love wearing this hood. It reminds me of something.” said Raze whilst leaving a little smile.

‘Urgh, it’s seems it’s going to be hard to convince him to take off the hood. Let’s try my charm.’ Rarity makes a charming face and attractive voice, “Come on, Raze. I don’t it’s necessary to wear a hood in the house. You can take it off. Don’t worry, darling. You can trust me to take care of it.”

Raze looked at Rarity that look at him charmingly. He makes a disgusted face, “Uhh, no thank you? I don’t think it needs anything.”

Twilight realizes it’s about to escalate immediately interrupted, “H-hey guys, I think we should-”

“Raze, darling, plllllllleaseeeeeee, That hood would come handy for you to sew the dress. It distracts you.” Rarity ignored Twilight and kept trying to take the hood.

Raze reply to his annoyance, “No, I don’t need it. How many time I had to tell you? This hood makes me more focus on sewing in anyway.”

“Raze, you. Can. Trust. me.” said Rarity whilst pulling Raze hood with her magic.

“Well, I…said…NO.” said Raze making an angry face.

“Yes.”

“No.”

“YES.”

“NO.”

“YES!”

“NOOOOO!”

Rarity immediately takes a leap on Raze causing both of them to have a fight. Twilight try to cast a magic, but the magic back fired because she missed, making the magic to bounce created a mess around the boutique. Raze and Rarity were fighting each other for Raze’s hood.

“JUST, GIVE ME, THE HOOD!” Rarity shouts in anger.

“NO, I WON’T!” Raze still resist to give Rarity his hood.

“GUYS, STOP!” said Twilight using her Canterlot voice, making both mare and colt to stop arguing. When she looks around, Rarity jaw was dropped as she screamed in horror to see the mess, “WHAT KIND OF MESS IS THIS? NONONO THIS…IS…THE…WORST…THING…THAT EVER…HAPPENED!”

Rarity pulled out a couch and rested on it while pulling out a tub of mint ice cream and eats them straight out of it. She crying all the way - completely forgotten about Raze and Twilight.

Twilight give Raze an eyes motion, telling Raze to slowly come out which Raze did.

The next destination even worse, Raze was asked to race with Rainbow Dash. It’s just a simple job, but once Raze started race, both of them started to get over competitive. Raze being too fast, he also committed a strong Sonic Rainbooms, causing Rainbow Dash next to him to miss fly and landed on a pond. While at the SugarCube Corner, The Cakes didn’t like to let Raze enter the shop but they let him as Twilight convinced that Raze could change. Pinkie who saw Raze immediately greeted him with open hooves. They have a pretty good time together. But it’s all went south when it’s come to baking. During the baking, Raze think it’s good when he turned up the oven a little bit higher, causing the cake dough in the oven to burn up. They panicked but Twilight able to put out the fire before the fire spread out. The Cakes immediately kick Twilight and Raze out afterwards.

End of the flashback. Raze trying to break a tear but he doesn’t want to show it. He replied to Twilight nervously, “I-I…I’m sorry. I think I still don’t understand all of this. I need more time to understand this…friendship.”

Twilight replied in frustration without looking at him, “Alright, we’re going to the last place which is Fluttershy’s cottage. I bet she’s already forgave you.”

“Yeah…I guess so.” Raze replied. Unsure with that statement Twilight made. As they arrived, multiple animals that saw Raze immediately hide away from him. Those make Raze even more hurt. They walked towards Fluttershy’s and Twilight gave a little knock. Before Fluttershy replies, Twilight talk to Raze, “For this last one, you will spend time with the animals.”

Raze just smiled and nodded slowly. Twilight doesn’t know how sad Raze was as he failed every lesson he did. Fluttershy opened the door and excited to see Twilight and Raze.

“Hi, Twilight! Hi, Raze! I heard you guys are coming so I decided to prepare a cup of tea for us to drink!”

“Thanks, Fluttershy, you don’t know how much of a mess happened on the last few lesson.” Twilight felt grateful for the offer but Raze were shocked to hear what Twilight says.

Raze replied, “I-I…I’ll be out here with the animals. I’ll come in later.”

Twilight looked at Raze with guilt. Before she could say anything, Raze immediately walk away. Twilight looked at Fluttershy’s face. The Pegasus faces also showing a worried expression. Fluttershy’s pet, Angel saw what happened from inside, immediately sneak out to see the

“I think we should talk about it inside.” Fluttershy give her a piece of her mind.

“Y-yeah…I think we should.” Said Twilight, filled with guilt.

Raze was sitting next to a pond not far from Fluttershy’s cottage. He was staring the pond with no emotions but sadness. It’s felt like he was being stab in the back. Suddenly, Angel, Fluttershy’s bunny came around looking at him. He immediately pulled his tail off which making Raze to startled.

“Ouch, what’s your problem?” Raze looked at the bunny in confusion. The bunny just does a motion gesture trying to tell Raze something.

Raze replied, “What’s going on with me?”

The bunny nodded.

Raze take the bunny and start to give him a little pat to the head. Raze replied, “I just…you know, being sad. I can’t tell you how much of a sad I am right now. The start of the days till the end of it.”

Celestia lowering the sun, making it look like a sunset. Raze continued, “I-I just can’t do it properly. It’s my first time with this friendship thing you know? I thought I could make this up. But…I didn’t.”

Suddenly, all the animals that hide from Raze start to come closer, felt sympathy for the colt. Raze didn’t can’t even stand it anymore, He cried. He slowly drops his tear. He crying all the way he wants.

“*sniff* I’m a bad guy, always been. You see how much struggles I’ve been trying? So many times, buddy.*sniff* every chance I got, I ruined it. Every good time I had I ruin it. This is all is stupid. I don’t think I deserve it anymore.” His cries grow louder, making the animals around him to feel sad. They didn’t just feel sad, they felt like their dream and hope was crushed like something dark just passed them causing them to felt sad. Raze continued, “You know what? *sniff* I think I’m done. I think…I should use another way. I’m just unforgiveable. I hurt a princess. Not just one but three! THREE! Who would forgive me? Even Celestia herself didn’t want to forgive me, how about the others? I hurt their princess! I hurt everyone!” this statement drew more attention of the animals. All the animals that come by could felt their hope and ambition loses. It felt like there’s no more faith.

Raze finalize, “You know what? I think I should go back to the castle. I…I have no more hope inside me. I felt like I want to be…”

The animals froze. They can felt the chill coming from Raze.

“…dead. Yes, I should be dead.”

Raze stand up, he doesn’t show no more emotion, “I will get back to the castle. Sorry, I guess I didn’t deserve to be here anymore.”

Raze walked away, suddenly, a few animals start to grab Raze by the forelegs. Raze try to kick them off, “Leave me. That is what I should been doing this whole time.”

Angel immediately makes hand motions trying to tell Raze something. Raze coldly replied, “Twilight also didn’t want me. You look how disappointed she is. This is just the way. Now…” he released a strong wave causing the animals that holding him to back off. “Leave. Me. Alone.”

Raze start to fly, he fly towards the castle. Angel panicked, started to run towards Fluttershy’s cottage. The bunny hope he would do anything what the bunny is think about but he decided to tell Fluttershy about that situation.

“Okay, where’s Raze and Twilight? We’ve been looking for them for hours!” Spike complained.

Starlight replied, “After talking with Pinkie, I bet they’re going to Fluttershy’s. Let’s keep going and-”

“What’s that?” Spike pointed to the sky.

Raze was flying in a medium speed. As soon as he passed both the dragon and unicorn, both of them can feel a total chill coming from the Alicorn.

“Burr, what was that?!” Spike asks in shocked.

“I-I don’t know. It felt like m-my hope and determination were…gone.” said Starlight in reply.

“Should we follow him?” Spike asked.

“Yeah. That’s definitely right. Something is up.” Said Starlight before took off running back to the castle.

In the Fluttershy’s cottage, Twilight and Fluttershy can be seen talking about the issues Twilight’s having.

“Oh my, what a tragedy. This must be hard for Raze,” said Fluttershy in worries.

“Yeah, I didn’t believe that will happen. Mostly, the worst thing happened is like when Starlight trying to do friendship’s lesson at once.” Twilight explained. Both of them giggled.

“Yeah, when Starlight uses her magic to do friendship lesson, it’s all a mess.” said Twilight in replies. Suddenly, Angel jump on the top of the table, knocking off the teapot.

“Angel, why did you knock off the teapot?” Fluttershy says in anger. The bunny didn’t care; instead, he does a motion, showing a scene where someone stabs themselves with a knife.

Fluttershy eyes were widened, “RAZE IS WHAT?!?!”

Twilight ask in confusion and worries, “What happened?”

Fluttershy immediately put the tea cup away and pulled Twilight straight out of the house.

“WHERE ARE WE GOING?!” ask Twilight in confusion.

“RAZE IS GOING TO KILL HIMSELF!” said Fluttershy in worries.

“HE’S GOING TO WHAT?!”

Raze was walking towards his room with no emotion on his face. Suddenly, Starlight and Spike came from behind with Starlight shouting, “Raze, what you are doing here?!”

Raze didn’t reply. He lifted both ponies and lifted a table out of his room. He magically bend the table, causing for both of them to stuck.

“RAZE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING AND WHAT’S GOING ON?!” Spike shouted in anger.

Raze didn’t reply, he just walked straight into his room leaving both the dragon and mare stuck together in a bended table. He closed his room, locked it and blocked it. He sits on his bed and sighed.

“Enough despair. Let’s just have a time before we leave. For a full, long time affair,” He stopped talking. Then he continued, “Up there.”

Twilight and Fluttershy arrived in front of the door when they see the other standing In front of it including Sunset Shimmer who can be seen having her back being bandaged.

“Oh hey Twilight, just here to-”

Twilight didn’t reply; instead she running leaving Fluttershy to answer their question.

“Uhh, Fluttershy, what is going on with Twilight?” Applejack asked Fluttershy with concern.

“WE DON”T HAVE TIME TO TALK! RAZE IS ABOUT TO KILL HIMSELF!”

“WHAT?!” said the mares in unison. Without wasting time, they run towards Raze bedroom.

When the mares arrived, Twilight can be seen trying to breach in the doors. Sunset who saw Starlight and Spike bened inside a table immediately freed them. Starlight asked, “What’s going on?! Why Twilight is trying to break the door into Raze’s room?!”

Applejack replied, “RAZE IS GOING TO KILL HIMSELF YOU IDIOT!”

“KILL HIMSELF?!” said both unicorn and dragon at the same time. Now they reached the room. The mares try everything to break the door down. Applejack stands in the way, “Back up ya’ll! I’m gonna handle this!”

Applejack delivers a strong buck causing the door to open by force. As soon as they entered it, they were shocked; Raze was standing in the middle of the room, staring at them with no emotion but tears. Raze already pointed a sharp shard of glass to his chest. He cried all the way he can.

“Sugarcube, you don’t have to do this. Put down the knife and we-”

“Discuss about this?! I’ve already disappointed of myself! I’m not a good person! I am an alicorn but I nearly killed my own kind! I DON’T DESERVE ANYTHING INSTEAD OF DEATH!” Raze shouted in sadness.

The others felt something they never felt before; being hopeless. They felt like their hope were torn down and destroyed.

“WHAT KIND OF PONY AM I?! THE ONE THAT DOESN’T DESERVE ANY PLACE IN THIS WORLD! I BETTER DIE THAN LIVE! I NEARLY EXECUTED A PRINCESS OF MY OWN KIND! A PRINCESS, TWILIGHT, A PRINCESS!!!!!!!!!!” Raze shout in anger and despair.

The feeling makes the mares even heavier. Felt with guilt and sadness, they slowly dropped tears.

“R-Raze, I know you’re sad, but you-” Twilight interrupted by Raze,

“I failed you, Twilight. I failed to be a good friend. I failed to prove that I can change. And now,” he lifted the knife in the air,

“I’ll pay for the price.”

They shrieked and screamed in horror; Raze has stabbed into his chest. But instead of a blood come out, a dark fog came out of his chest. Making the mares even more scared. Raze body cracked and his eyes widened, turned into a white eyes. The dark fog now dropped even faster covering the room quickly.

Twilight shouted in tears, “Raze, don’t do this!”

“Too late, princess. Raze is gone. And now…” Raze replied in an otherworldly voice, “Despair will dropped upon Equestria.”

The fog covered the whole room, quickly separating the mares from each other. Twilight now surrounded by darkness, consuming everything in its path.

Twilight opened her eyes, and looked around. Nothing is there except for Twilight. She looked around and shouted, “Hello? Raze? Pinkie? Celestia?”

Nothing replied her. She asks herself in thought, where is this? What is this thing? Where does Raze have this power? But for now, this is going to be a long trip for the Main 7. A long trip…

In the darkness.
