The Lycan Curse
Chapter 8: The Witch hunt begins.
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSpike cleaned up Twilight's study room, as downstair he heard her leave for Fluttershy's. Just before she told him to sort the books she had read back into the proper places, and explained she was going to explain to Fluttershy all that she had found.
Spike finished some quick sweeping, and readily went for the pile of books. With a look at the mess, he began pushing it into orderly piles. As he picked two books up, he noticed a small, old looking scrap of paper in the corner of the desk.
"What's this?" he asked out load, to the paper... kind of creepy...
He picked it up, and turned it to see the line "Trezona Omnipotent Claus - REDACTED - Omnitreza, 451"
Spike quickly noticed it was folded up, so with some unfolding, he was presented with a whole page of odd information, in a diary format.
Entry number 451, Trezona Omnipotent Claus... Now Omnitreza.
I have recently resigned the name my natural parents have given me. I see fit that due to the fact that my natural name no longer has meaning, as I am no longer natural and have NOT been for 324 years now. The only part I shall keep is the Omnipotent, as I will one day be all powerful...
But still, I can see very well that I have changed so much since I was given the gift from him, I used to seek for more information, and justice for Equestria. But, I am being crushed under the weight of boredom, watching events unravel without me being capable of effecting any of them. From now on, it will be my duty to be the most influential in this land.
I also find, that due to my journal now consisting of 7 books, the number I seam to like, all entries multiple pages long, and I have reached the number of entries of which Fahrenheit burns paper, I shall end it here, and burn the rest of the paper.
But, do to nostalgic reasons, this journal series will remain in tact, even though I know very well it will be my downfall when the day comes. Yet, I plan on having my fun, and eventually ending it. I would be crushed under the weight of boredom if I persisted perfectly for eternity, so I am purposely going to hope that I do NOT persist forever.
And as a start to ending my eternity, I shall now end this. But know first, before I end my own eternity, I will have Equestria know me for decades to come, in due time.
Spike lowered the paper with a blank expression, turned around, dropped the books, and ran yelling "TWIIIIIIIILIIIIIIIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Then, after 8 minutes or so of running in the WRONG direction, Spike stopped, and turned himself around, and ran toward Fluttershy's house.
It was not till 5 more minutes that he bumped right into Twilight, and fell back onto the ground.
"Twilight! Thank goodness! I found something very important on the author of that book!"
Twilight raised an eyebrow, and replied "Really? good job Spat, I mean Sp....SPIKE! yes, Spike."
In his excited state, Spike ignored that, and continued "Look here, I think it is a old dairy entry of sorts. Maybe we can trace this guy down and see if the information on marewolves he has is legit."
Twilight gasped, and replied "Your rese-I mean, *cough*, Of course, we have been researching marewolves... why were we doing that again?"
Spike looked at Twilight with a countenance suggestion she was being an idiot, "Because your pegasus friend is a Lycan, remember!"
Twilight gasped again, and hopped on her hooves, muttering something in excitement. Spike stood there staring at her in confusion, and asked "Uh, Twilight..."
Then, and idea hit him, "Wait... your not a... AAAAAAAAHHHH!!!"
With that scream, Spike ran the opposite direction, and 'Twilight' stopped jumping, and chased after.
"Were are you going!? We haven't even explained the details to me yet!" She yelled as Spike turned a corner, and hid in a alley... Leave it to you Spike to pull of a cliché like that.
He looked slightly to see 'Twilight' run past, and sighed as he looked at the paper in his claws. Then, out of nowhere, he saw a royal guard member.
"A royal guard! Thank goodness! I need your help, my friend who turned out to be not my friend is out to get... me... Wait, there isn't a royal guard in Ponyville... oh no -_-..."
And with that, Spike was snatched up in a bag, how classy.
'Twilight' came back into the alley, and said "Good job, let's take him back to Omni, we will so get a reward for this information!"
'Twilight' started jumping, as changeling wings appeared on her back.
"Hey!" said the 'guard', "Don't you realise we will now have to wipe this ones recent memory, and try to get him back into the population unharmed!"
"Clam your tits, it won't be much in return for proof that a Lycan is here in town."
The royal guard gave a grin, as his body burned away, and formed into that of a changeling. The two Changelings then disappeared into the alley with the bag of Spike.
-------------------Fluttershy's house, afternoon-----------------
Twilight set her back on the rack, and pulled out the book she planned on telling Fluttershy about.
"I think this book has some valid information on your condition." Said Twilight as she raised the book with magic.
Fluttershy looked at the book curiously, and responded "That's good... I guess."
Twilight opened the book, and explained, "Well, it did point out what caused you to go lunatic, turns out it was cannabis."
Fluttershy cocked her head, "What is that?"
Twilight laughed, "Oh, it's just a plant. But some ponies like to, uh, 'consume' it, for certain qualities."
"Okay then." responded Fluttershy.
Twilight continued, "Now, one thing I am not sure about is the author, I never heard of him, or possibly her, I don't know really. But anyway, the name written is Omnitreza, I think it may be a pen name."
Fluttershy immediately gasped, "Omnitreza?! I just met with him!"
"Really?" asked Twilight in surprise.
"Yes, Pinkie and I saw him giving a, seminar, of sorts, and he came here with me."
Twilight got a worried look on your face, "Fluttershy, you didn't tell him..."
Fluttershy cut her off, "Oh no! But, he said some, odd things."
Twilight cocked her head, "like what?"
Fluttershy sat down, and began to explain everything she could remember Omnitreza said.
Spike awoke in the bag he was in, and went to feel his head. This first thought that came to his mind was "I wonder what ants taste like.", then the next thought was "CRAP! I have to get out of here!"
He immediately began clawing at the sides of the bag in no orderly fashion, when suddenly he heard hoof steps coming.
"So there is a Lycan in Ponyville for sure." Said a male voice.
"Yep, that Dragon spilled some beans, before he realized I wasn't his boss." Replied a raspy voice.
"Were is it now then?"
"In that bag, right there."
Spike balled up, as he heard hoof steps get closer to him. Then he heard breathing over him, as something went to untie the top. As the bag opened, Spike was met with a wooden room, that looked like a log cabin, light only by a few oil lamps. Next he noticed the dark green earth pony standing above him with a look as if he was staring into his soul.
"Uuuuuhhh... Hi?" he said while giving a cheesy smile.
"I don't suppose you plan on telling me more than I already know." Replied the pony, as he set a hat on a table.
Spike looked around, seeing a changeling standing at the other side of the room, "Umm, What would I have to say? I never have anything to say! It isn't like I know things!!!"
"Calm your tits!" said the Changeling, with a angry glare at him.
"Shut up Nestor! I will deal with this one." said the green pony with an angry tone.
The changeling pouted, and walked out of the room, slamming the door behind itself.
The green pony chuckled slightly, "Kids these days... Anyway! I am Omnitreza, and I actually work in Canterlot."
Spike raised an eyebrow, he recognized that name from the paper he had been carrying. With that, he felt around and noticed it was still in the bag with him.
Spike replied, "Is that supposed to mean anything? I mean, you had CHANGELINGS kidnap me, and now your talking to me while I am tied into a bag..."
Omnitreza looked at spike with a small smile, "So, your the Princesses personal student's assistant eh?"
Spike glared, "Who's asking?"
"Me."
"Me who?"
"Omnitreza me."
"Nope, wrong!"
Omnitreza raised an eyebrow, "Your kind of silly, I for one know those tactics you are using, and I shall reply with a question... Riddle me this, Riddle me that, what is the answer, true or false, to 'This sentence is false'."
Spike continued galring, "Nothing, it's a paradox."
Omnitreza laughed, "And to see you only have lived a small portion of your life, and your retaining information like that, shows how great you could be in the future!"
Spike was not sure how to think of this, "What do you know about Dragons? No pony has ever did any major studies on them."
"I know more than you know, so much, much, more...."
Spike thought for a second, and replied, "Well I know stuff about you, Trezona Omnipotent Claus!"
Omnitreza stared blankly, then a smile grew, as he replied, "Why aren't you a little detective! I have been waiting years for someone to dramatically announce my real name at me!"
Spike was beginning to get annoyed at the fact he could not shake this guy, "Are you really, THAT old?"
Omnitreza grinned, "Why yes I am, and since I am enjoying this banter, and you won't be remember any of this anyway, Let me say that you have the cutest little canines!"
Spike went wide eyed, and replied "Da' heck?"
Omnitrea looked around, "Sorry, I am going mad, you see, my 451 birthday is coming up, and I am all excited about it. But first, I will give you a chance here to tell me who is the Lycan. You know, to make things less complicated."
Spike was having trouble following this, Omnitreza went from his birthday to lycans in 3 seconds flat.
"Your... mom?"
Omnitreza stared blankly... again... "Bro... no... just, no..."
"Sorry..."
Omnitreza looked to the door, as Spike could hear more movement coming. Omnitreza suddenly reach a hoof for Spikes head, and Spike in return bit it.
"OW! I am trying to knock you out and erase your memory!" said Omnitreza as he began to glare angrily.
Suddenly, Spike felt his body turn numb for no real reason, as he watched Omnitreza's eyes change to cat-like eyes. He then saw him raise his hoof, and with one touch to his head, he blacked out.
----------------------3 hours later-------------------
Twilight and Fluttershy walked back into Twilight's house. Over the course of the last story section, they had fought an army of Manitores, defeated Cthulhu, and saved Equestria seven times...
JUST KIDDING!
Anyway, they had actually talked over things ranging from Fluttershy's dreams with Luna, and this Omnitreza fella that seamed to think he was a top notch researcher.
"So are you all right if I write to Celestia about this?" asked Twilight.
"Oh yes, it is fine, I'm sure if Luna knows she knows." replied Fluttershy.
Twilight trotted further toward the stairs, and yelled up them "SPIKE! Get ready to take a letter!"
Ten seconds passed, and soon so did 20.
"Spike? Are you here?!" yelled Twilight.
Fluttershy looked around worried, "I hope he's alright."
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door, and Twilight rushed to open it. Upon opening it, she was met with two royal guard members.
"Hello ma'am, is this yours?" said one, as he pushed forward Spike, whom wobbled around oddly, "Huh, what? Twilight, oh, heeeeeeey man, were have you been?"
Twilight stared at Spike as he nearly fell over, and asked the guards, "Were did you find him, and why is he so... odd...?"
One of the guards replied "We found him out by the hedge maze, and if I am correct it seams he got into something he shouldn't have."
Twilight replied, "Oh that isn't much like him."
Spike walked in, with redness visible in his eyes, "Hey! Fluttershy MAH BOY! How are you?"
The other Royal Guard looked in at Fluttershy, and said "We are also informing all the pegasi they need to show up at the town hall in one hour."
Twilight raised an eyebrow, and replied, "What for?"
The guard replied, "Somepony here has been identified as a ly-I mean, Changeling.
Twilight stared at the guard, and thought "Did he just... stutter? The Royal Guard never does that!"
The other royal guard picked up the line, "Any pegasi who do not show up will be brought by force. Good day now."
The royal guards shut the door and left, leaving Twilight there confused, with her high assistant and her werewolf friend.
