Bad endings, awesome beginnings (Un-edited chapters)

chapter 7: all is explained...

I awoke to the barley audible hum of the princess's magic going off. I stretched and yawned as I studied the area I took my much needed nap. We were in a clearing in the forest. The area was calm, almost tranquil. I attempted to sit up to notice that twilight had fallen asleep on me as well. 'well that is adorable.' I thought as I gently picked her up and placed her on the soft grass.

I walked over to the princesses to see they(well Celestia) were still conducting the search. Luna on the other hand looked like she hadn't even blinked the entire time.

"You okay princess?" I asked the lunar goddess. She flinched and turn to me. She started to nod then she slowly shook her head no, jumped up and grabbed me. I started to freak out until I noticed she was crying on to my shoulder. Me being the caring emotional, caring one of my little group of survivors gently hugged back as she let the rivers of tears pour from her eyes.

"Shhh...it's alright." she slowly calmed down. She was still crying, but not as much. "better?" she simply nodded and raised her head.

" We shall be fine. thank thou for the support thee has given unto us." She then realized she was still holding me and blushed. Quickly jumping away from me she regain her composer. " Now. Is there something thee needed?"

I nodded and said " yes princess. I was wondering how long these thing usually take."

"well." she began " They usually only take a hour or two, but this is highly unusual. From what we can see our sister is scanning absolutely everything in this man mind."  I nodded as the princess continued to watch her sister.

"Princess?"

"Yes deckard?"

"Can you tell me why this man claimed he was your father?" She slightly stiffened and drew a quick breath. As she relaxed she nodded and gestured over to the same tree I was recently resting on. we calmly and quietly walked over and sat.

"Okay deckard. What I am about to tell thee must not leave this forest nor your lips if questioned." She gave me the most piercing gaze I have ever had in my life. I quickly nodded to make that gaze stop. She then let out a pent up sigh and began her tale.

"Long ago when Celestia and I were no more than foals there were more alicorns. Only two to be pricice. They were our parents. We were very happy. The subjects adored them and praise them. Then when Celestia became of age to take the throne something terrible happened. Our parents had seen a great evil emerge on the land and were forced to take up arms against it. To this day we know not what the evil was exactly. All we did know was how the creature had...had..." She began to tear up again. I gently scooted over and rubbed her neck. She flinched slightly at the contact, but didn't mind it. I nodded for her to continue and she took a shallow breath. " How the beast had managed to take our parents... I was still but a foal so I hardly even knew their faces. Still it was tragic, but before they left they placed a note on our bed saying if they did not return to do the spell inscribed in the note. Celestia almost immediately did the spell. The spell it's self was easy, but strangely it took a surprising amount of magic. After Celestia completed the spell there was a strange creature standing in the middle of the floor looking dazed and confused as we were. It was him." she stopped and pointed to the man being scanned. I nodded. "At first he was scared as was Celestia. She thought she messed the spell up and summoned a monster. Celestia had started to back up while I simply walked over to the strange creature."

I quickly raised a hand. "wait your telling me that you simply WALKED to a strange creature WITHOUT your sister?!" I was truly flabbergasted by the statement.

"well we were but a foal. We didn't know better." She defended. I thought for a second and nodded in agreement.

"I guess make that makes sense. Please go on." I replied.

"Anyway....As I walked over to it and said 'hi!'. He seemed very confused and scared at the same time. He had began to walk backwards. Sadly he stepped on a book or other inanimate object and tripped. He managed to hit his head pretty bad, so when he stopped moving I began to worry and attempted to help him. Celestia was very scared and was going to forbid me from helping it until she saw blood starting to pool around his head. With much convincing and threat against his well being she fixed him up. When he awoke he was extremely grateful, but still confused by why he was here. When Celestia explained instead of freaking out he rejoiced. He had apparently made some bad investments and was going to lose his home, job, everything. From then on he has always been with us. Until discord came. He caused chaos all over Equestria and he took our father from us."

"Wait...when did he REALLY become your guys father?" I asked.

"Well I considered him our father after about 3 months after his arrival. Celestia eventually warmed up to him and he became our official father after about a year. That was when Celestia got the paperwork done."

"Ah alright. If I may ask do you remember his name?"

" If we remember correctly his name is Grey."

'that's a awesome name.' I thought. Before I could ask anymore questions the light hum of magic stopped and both luna and me turned our heads. Celestia was staring at Grey and he was doing the same right back. I honestly thought that she was going to vaporize him right there until she practically hug-tackled him to the floor crying the entire time. Luna soon joined them in the hug and tears. I simply sat there watching the sight. It was bringing all my old memories back. My dad and me going shooting for the first time. My mom making her world famous biscuits and gravy with bacon. My brothers and me playing video games all day long. All my old friends and family....that were gone.

I couldn't hold it anymore the tears fell from my eyes like water falls. Though my sobs were silent somehow the small group of happy people and ponies heard them.

"hey pal what's wrong?" Asked Grey. I looked up and saw him sitting up with his daughters sitting on both of his sides. I let a pain smile show and replied.

"I'm fine thanks for asking. I just need to be alone for a little bit." I got up and began to walk away from them. I thought I heard one of the princesses get up, but sat down after a few seconds. I entered the forest and walked for about five minutes until I heard a very distinct growl behind me. Now one thing you should know about me. When i have any type of negative emotion, meaning anger, sadness, etc., you don't fuck with me. I turned to see a very large lion with wings and a scorpion tail.

"You wanna go? THEN LET'S GO MOTHER FUCKER!!" I had about 3 years of pent up anger and depression to let loose and since there were no zombies around this....thing will have to do. I let out a battle cry and charged the thing.
