15 minutes through heaven, hell and everything between

-Ponyville-

    Beautiful town of ponyville, Inhabited by all kinds of ponies and one dragon. Usually the town doesn’t get visitors of any other specie, but today some kind of hairless diamond dog walked straight into the town.

Minute was walking through the town and looking in the compass device so he could find Twilight and others. Every once in awhile he would wave or say hello to ponies around him, but all they did was either run or stand watching him with their mouths agape. “Well, at least they  haven’t taken torches and pitchforks out.” Minute thinks and smiles at the mental image of ponies with torches and pitchforks. Suddenly Minute feels something tucking the right leg of his pants. This makes him stop and turn to look whatever it was that disturbed his walk. What he sees is small filly. she has yellow coat and red mane that is tied with pink bow. Curiously she doesn’t have picture in her flank like Twilight and her friends.

“Excuse me mister, but what are ya?” The yellow filly asks from minute. This sudden question makes minutes eyebrows shoot up. “Little pony, aren’t you afraid of me.” He asks and looks at the pony's eyes. “No, not really. Ya see, when ah saw that ya came to town ah was little scared.” She starts. “But then ah saw that ya were just walkin’ and lookin’ that metal thing in yer claws, ya also said hello to every pony that ya saw.” she continues and smiles. Minute just chuckles to what she just said. “I see, and you just decided to come and talk to creature that you know nothing.” Minute says while arching his left eyebrow. “Yes, but mister why are ya here?” She asks. Minute just chuckles again. “I’m here to see Twilight Sparkle and her friends.” He says and looks around. “Yer searchin’ Twilight? Mah sister is her firend, follow me and ah take ya to them.” The yellow filly says and starts to trot away. Minute just shrugs and starts to follow her.

“What's yer name?” The filly asks from minute after they have walked a while. “My name is Lord 15 minutes, but you can call me Minute.” Minute says without turning his gaze from road. The filly looks at him and blinks before starting to giggle. “Yer name is funny, mister Minute.” She says. Minute looks at her and chuckles little himself. “Yes it really is weird, but it’s still my name.” He says and smiles. “But what is your name little filly.” He asks and looks her. the filly stops giggling and looks him. “Ah’m Apple bloom, nice ta meet ya mister Minute.” She says with wide smile. “Yes and nice to meet you too.” Minute says and turns to look ahead.

“There mah sister is.” Apple bloom yells and starts to run towards a group of ponies. Minute looks at where she is going and there really is Applejack and other ponies he met in that castle. “Applejack, Applejack!” Apple Bloom yells and runs to her sister. Applejack turns to look who is yelling. “Apple Bloom, What are ya yelling?” She asks and looks her sister. “Well, ya see. Ah was goin’ back to home, but then ah saw this weird creature walking in ponyville .” Apple Bloom starts to tell. “Ah was little scared, but then ah saw that it just waved and said hellos to everypony so ah decided to go and say hello to it mahself.” She tells and looks her sister. “When ah said hello to him and asked what he was doing he told me that he was lookin’ ya and yer friends so ah brought him here.” She finishes and smiles widely. Applejacks looks her sister with her eyes wide and turns to look the smiling human behind Apple Bloom.

Minute looks around and sees that someone has put up a party in there. “So why the party?” He asks and looks Applejack. “Uh, ah, hmm... Pinkie decided to make party because we saved Equestria and it’s summer sun celebration.” She says little startled by Minutes sudden question. “A-ah gotta go, Apple Bloom come!” She says hastily. “Bye mister Minute.” Apple Bloom yells and waves to him. Minute waves back in confusion. “Well that was weird, what was with her?” Minute thinks, but just shrugs it off.

Minute continues his stroll through the party. All around him ponies look startled and shuffle away from him. Minute just thinks it is because he looks bit scary to them. Suddenly cyan blurr hits ground before him. As the dust settles down Minute sees Rainbow Dash before him. Rainbow goes in coughing fit from all of the dust in air. Finally she clears her throat and looks Minute with narrowed eyes. “What are you doing here?” She asks with little bit anger in her tone. Minute look Rainbow with surprised look. “Um, i followed the beacon and it brought me here.” He says. Rainbow looks confused. “The metal ball that i gave to Twilight.” Minute says in deadpan tone. “But we-” Before she can say anything, a lasso shots out of nowhere and pulls her away from Minute.

Again Minute is left standing in confusion. “Hmm... maybe she was just needed somewhere.” He thinks and shrugs. “You know if someone is needed somewhere, that isn’t the way to call them.” Solitude says with deadpan tone. “Hey, how can i know. If you remember, there has been weirder customs then that. Like those ram heads said hello with headbut or how those weird fluffy things tried to execute me with throwing feathers.” Minute answers in annoyance.

Minute walks and watches how the ponies party around him. Suddenly he sees Pinkie going to alley. “Maybe Pinkie could tell me what is going on.” Minute thinks and smiles. “This isn’t going to end well.” Solitude says with sigh. Minute decides to not answer and starts to run towards the alley where he saw pinkie vanish.

He enters the alley, but there is no one. “Well that is weird.” He says to no one. Suddenly he feels something hit the back of his head. He tumbles little and holds his head. “Ow, What the fuck.” He curses and turns, but there is nothing behind him. “Who the fuck just hit me?” He says in pain. “I did!” Comes happy voice behind him and something hits him again. This time Minutes field of vision starts to darken and he can feel his consciousness slipping. Before darkness completely takes him over he can feel that something makes him float. “I told you so.” Says Solitudes voice and darkness takes him completely.

-?????-

Minutes eyes start to open and he can feel headache coming. When he tries to hold his head Something stops him. Minute tries to free his hands, but in vain. “Where the hell am i and what happened to me?” Minute thinks in confusion. “You got hit in the back of your head by pink pony with big hammer.” Solitude says and yawns. “Pink pony? Like Pinkie Pie?” Minute asks. “Yeah that is what those others called her.” Solitude says in bored tone.

“Wait where is my coat and sword?” MInute suddenly says. “Those ponies took them. Why?” Solitude asks. “Nightmare was inside my coats shadow and you know that ponies really don’t like her, because of that eternal night thing.” Minute says and thinks what those ponies would do to her if she was caught. “Thats all? Don’t worry she hid in shadows when you were being dragged away.” Solitude says and yawns again. Minute just sighs with relief.

Minute looks around and notices that he is under ground, but not deep. “Ok, Why the hell am i in prison.” Minute says aloud. Suddenly he hears door opening and turns to look where the noise came. Where he heard the noise he sees stairs and open door at the end of them. “Silence human!” a familiar voice says from the door frame. When Minute hears the voice his face turns to grin. “Hey, Princess C. Why am i here?” He yells.

Celestia steps from door frame and descends the stairs down. “You are here because i do not want any of you humans in my kingdom.” She says with anger filled tone. minute looks her with inquiring look. “What do you mean?” He asks. Celestia looks him with narrowed eyes. “What i mean is that you shouldn’t have come here, human.” She says. Minute just looks her with deadpan stare. “You know that is kinda rude. I do have a name” He says and grins widely. Celestia's eyes narrow more. “By the way, why are you so bitter about humans?” Minute asks and scratches the side of his nose. Celestia's eyes widen and she goes to defensive stance with her horn glowing. “How did you get your bindings off?” She asks with anger. Minute just looks her and then his left hand “It wasn’t really hard. i just cut it so i could scratch my nose.” He says and yawns little.

“but how?.” Celestia asks in confusion. Minute looks her with his left eyebrow arched. “i have my ways.” He says and looks Celestia “How did you even know about humans?” Minute asks in confusion. “I mean, when we were in that castle you didn’t say anything.”

Celestia watches as Minute continues his rant. “I didn’t say anything because i wished that you wouldn’t come out of everfree at all.” She says with malice. “And how i know is because one of my old enemies brought your kind in Equestria and they did horrible things here.” She ends and looks Minute.

Minute looks Celesti awhile before bursting at laugh. “So because you have seen some of my kind you decided that i was as ‘evil’.” He says and smiles widely. Suddenly his face darkens and red tint comes to his eyes. “If you must know, I can be your worst enemy or your best ally. But it all depends how you treat me.” After saying this his face lightens up and smile comes back.

Celestia looks Minute with perplexed eyes before snorting. “You can stay here and rot the rest of your life.” She says and turns to leave. Minute just smiles to her words. “I hope you change your mind Princess C. Because if i want to get out of here, i will.” Hearing humans words Celestia shudders and leaves.

                - 8 hours later-

Two guards stand in front of cell. Inside Minute is lying on the bed and hums a nice tune. Suddenly he starts to sing.

I used to rule the world

Seas would rise when I gave the word

Now in the morning I sleep alone

Sweep the streets I used to own

Suddenly another deeper voice starts to sing. The guards look around in confusion, but without finding anyone

I used to roll the dice

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

Listen as the crowd would sing

"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

Again Minute sings and all the guards are in complete bewilderment of this sudden musical number.

One minute I held the key

Next the walls were closed on me

And I discovered that my castles stand

Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

Suddenly the second voice joins in. Now The guards turn to look in cell and see that Minute is encased in black aura. his left eye is blood red and right is ice blue. As he sings it sounds like two voices are singing same time. All they can do is watch in horror as the Human stands up and sings.

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

Be my mirror, my sword and shield

My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain

Once you go there was never

Never an honest word

And that was when I ruled the world

The deeper voice sings in sad tone and minute looks the ceiling before he turns to look guards outside the cell. They flinch at the sight of Minutes eyes.

It was the wicked and wild wind

Blew down the doors to let me in

Shattered windows and the sound of drums

People couldn't believe what I'd become

Suddenly red aura starts to swirl around Minutes left hand and the black markings turn Yellow. He makes a slashing motion with his hand. First nothing happens, but after while the bars drop slashed in half. All the guards go in panic and start to flee

Revolutionaries wait

For my head on a silver plate

Just a puppet on a lonely string

Oh who would ever want to be king?

“Sound an alarm, The prisoner is escaping!” One of the fleeing guards yell.

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

Be my mirror, my sword and shield

My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain

I know Saint Peter won't call my name

Never an honest word

But that was when I ruled the world

Minute steps out of his cell and looks in the way where the guards fled.

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

Be my mirror, my sword and shield

My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain

I know Saint Peter won't call my name

Never an honest word

But that was when I ruled the world

He finally stops singing and looks forward with wicked smile. “I warned you ‘C’. I will get out of here, with one way or another.”
