Adam's return, Chrysalis's fetishes.
Chapter 3: Fear of the dark
Previous ChapterHuman Adam and Twilight were teleported into Twilight's tree house library after he had given her a tour around his observation station/laboratory. Adam smiled at the surrounding ponies, glad to see them all again, he casually worked his way past Rainbow dash, nodding slightly, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie pie and finally the lady Rarity wearing an extremely skimpy maids suit. He paused for a second, his lab coat shook slightly, he said "Hello Rarity, stylish as usual I see." she retorted "This is embarrassing enough without you looking at me like this! Lady Rarity wishes that she were not so easily persuaded to look like this!" Adam chimed sweetly "Be careful, you're starting to sound like that ungrateful brat Trixie, plus, I don't want a repeat of that. All she ended up with was my steel toed boot kicking her firmly toned ass out of my laboratory, especially rewarding, as she demanded that I made her more powerful." Rarity huffed, snorting slightly at him though flared nostrils, he paid no attention to this and waved it off.
Adam smirked slightly, he always loved teasing the ponies around town, especially when he wasn't physically exerting himself with either one of the princesses, or mentally exerting himself with designing a new machine to do something new and awesome. Between those two things, they majoritively took up his time, so he appreciated any free time he could get, sometimes visiting Twilight for Tea and biscuits, sometimes reading the books of his people to her as he acted out each character with a new voice and some funny little actions. He always loved making people laugh, it was a trait that both he and Pinkie seemed to share.
Adam said "So, to the Everfree forest then, let's go." his voice was monotone, he seemed to shiver a little as he said this, Twilight said "You showed me your P.O.I. (Points Of Interest) map, so I think that it's safe to say those dark caves are our best bet." His reply was "Yeah, I was really hoping you weren't going to say that." Adrenaline started flowing around his body as he dreaded what was going to brought forth from the darkness. Unfortunately, they had to walk, Twilight was worn out from using her spells a few too many times, Adam began fearing for his life. He then gagged slightly, his next words quavered "I might be magical, but this forest just isn't natural, no matter how much magic I use, I could never change it." Twilight looked apprehensively at him, she had almost always seen a smile on his face, but to see something make him upset, it was unnerving.
He shivered slightly, it was night by the time they had arrived outside the caves, he spoke to the six occupying him with a fearful tone "Do you know what, I think we should wait till morning, morning sounds good, do you all agree, yes?" Twilight stared at him with her purple eyes and said "You might fear the dark, but be brave, I and the other ponies are by your side no matter what. so what if you fear the dark? We will be there to light your spirit up the entire way!" he seemed to grow a little melancholy from this remark, he then smiled slightly and nodded, saying "Into the dark abyss, ourselves we do throw, where the abyss leads, none shall know!"
Adam ran into the caves, Twilight and the other ponies in hot pursuit, all except for Fluttershy, who was being dragged along by Applejack. Twilight lit the caverns with her horn, Rarity helped to light the cave further with her horn, the sequins on her provocative dress slightly catching the light, as well as the occasional sideways glance from Adam. He looked back at the paths ahead of him, three paths all equally dark, dank and dangerous, allowing himself a moment to think, he turned to Twilight with a confident look on his face.
He smiled, then said "I've got nothing, I'm stumped." Twilight sighed, hoping that he might have had the answers. However, it was clear that he wasn't as reliable as he so wished to be, instead seeming more and more insane and unstable with each passing moment. Pinkie pie stepped forward, twitching violently, she pointed down the middle route and exclaimed "Down there, I'm sure of it!" Adam raised an eyebrow, but dared not question her, he walked down the path apprehensively, the other ponies seeming slightly reluctant.
