Six elements roamed the lands of Equestria and were known as greed, Depression, Cruelty, lying, Betrayal and Magic. Cruelty out of the six had a week spot for a Pegasus known as Lucretia. Eyes that were an unforgettable teal With a long flowing pink hair, with a curl at the end, that went all the way down to her hoofs and fur as yellow as the flowers that were at one of the last spots of the world that wasn't corrupt. They would go there every night and just look at the stars. Time passed and Lucretia became pregnant but before the baby could be born two sisters arose from the darkness. The two sisters were known as Luna and Celestia. Lucretia was near them at the time and was obliterated from the blast of harmony along with the rest of the chaos. The six friends took shelter and waited for a sign from their lord Socrath. Over one thousand years passed and finally Socrath gave them a command "Go to Pony Ville for the elements of Harmony are there. Bring them back hear and I will corrupt them and bring the world crumbling to its knees." "Yes my lord," said Magic with a bow. This is where the story begins. "Princess Celestia should have been here by now." said twilight pacing back and forth. "Maybe I should talk to her about arriving on time." "Twilight?" "I can see it now. Dear princess Celestia I would like to discuss being on time." "Twilight?" "I am always on time so I think..." "I will except the letter later ok." Said Celestia as Twilight slowly turned around. "But we have bigger issues at the moment." Celestia then had her two guards set down the box they were carrying. "These books are what you need to read. They are about what happened before the world was at peace, and are also about the Elements of Disharmony." "Elements of Disharmony?" Twilight spoke confused, "That's a thing?" "I thought that there were only the elements of harmony." Rarity declared. "Oh yes," Celestia said, "There is always an opposing power equal to anything. The names are,” Celestia looked at Flutter Shy, “Cruelty The opposite of Kindness", Flutter Shy took a step back. Celestia looked at Apple Jack, “Lying the opposite of Honesty”, Apple Jack holding her head high said, “He’s no trouble with me around." Celestia looked at Rainbow Dash, “Betrayal the opposite of Loyalty”, “He needs to be about twenty percent cooler." Celestia looked a Pinkie, “Depression the opposite of Happiness”, Pinkie jumping around, “A new best friends." Celestia looked at Rarity, “Greed the opposite of Generosity”, Rarity looked away in disgust, “And their leader and even I don't know his element", Celestia said with concern for Twilight in her voice. "Now hold up", Rainbow dash said walking up to Celestia, "What do you want us to do about it?" After a few moments passed Celestia said, "Keep the elements of harmony safe. You are all going to stay at Twilights house until further notice." "You want what?" said Chrysalis the queen of the Changelings. "Blood, we are being nice at the moment but we will use force if we have to." said magic in a threatening tone his dark red glowing eyes staring deeply into Chrysalis's soul. "We need it from you though." "How much" Barked Chrysalis "An ounce for each of us." "Fine you can have it." Chrysalis without hesitation grabbed a knife and slit her wrist. The blood draining into the container. After she was done she gave the blood to Betrayal. "Good Girl" "Now get out of here" Chrysalis spoke licking the blood from the knife. "Where are my manners? Thank you Queen." Cruelty said with a bow. "Now to Pony Ville we need to go get some flowers." said magic with a grin. "Gay" "Oh shut up Depression." "Wow this is so boring having a sleep over. What are we twelve?" Rainbow Dash said with a moan in her voice. "It's only five can I go get my things Twilight?" Rarity said looking out of the window. "I don't know the Princess said to stay at my house until further notice." "I need to go feed my birds Twilight. They have gone five hours without eating." Flutter Shy said worried "Fine just everyone be back by seven." "Yes mam." All the other ponies said synchronized as they all rushed out the door. "Twilight do you think there is such a thing. I mean the Elements of Disharmony?" "I don't know spike but we'll see." "Alright Cruelty," Said Depression in a low voice, "go find us some flowers. We will be here waiting for your return." "Ok but where can I find crimson red flowers?" He waits for a response. "Hello?" He turns around to see the door shut to the coffee shop or in other words the hidden base. Well I should start in the woods. But where are the woods? Oh well it's going to take them a while to get the preparations for the spell. Cruelty sighed I guess I’ll go this way. The unicorn turns right and heads straight through the center of Pony Ville. As he's walking he sees all of the beautiful houses. The red hews against the dark blue sky. The yellow road he could look at forever. He looked up wanting to see Lucretia. It seemed like a lifetime since he had seen her and yet he could still hear the whispers of her voice saying I love you. A single tear dropped from his eye. "I miss her so. But life still goes on." He stops in his path, and takes a seat. Looking blankly into the small crowd in the town square. Then he sees someone with long pink mane and a yellow hued style hair. Just walking among the crowd. "Lucretia?" The pony looked unsettled, but continued through the crowd. “Ok let’s go.” Cruelty followed her for a while. Until there was a tree that she went in. He kept thinking, "No it can’t be her," He walked up to the door. As nervous as ever he lifted his hoof to the door and was about to knock. He stopped inches away from the door but was interrupted when the door opened. His heart dropped. This Pegasus had to be Lucretia. "Oh. Can I uh...help you?" She said in a soft tone. Speechless Cruelty just stood there with his jaw dropped. "Uh...hello?" "Oh sorry it's just been so long." He said looking straight into her eyes. "I don't believe we have ever met,” she said. "Are you not Lucretia?" He said in a sad tone to this ghost from his past. "No I’m Flutter Shy..." With those words she fainted from being too nervous. "Oh shit," He said with this unconscious pony in front of his white hoofs. He leaned down to see if she was still alive. "Hello?" She said nothing. Well I can't just leave you hear now can I. I can't take you to my place. Um, He looked around and saw no pony in sight. "Ok lets get you inside." He put her on his back and brought her into her house. "Ok where to set you." He looked around the room and found the couch. "That looks good enough." He walks over and sets her down. “Ok now I think I need a wet rag and a blanket...I think.” He sees a bunny at his feet wondering what happened. "Hey it wasn't me. Now can you help me find a blanket? " He said nicely. What the hell since when do I ask nicely for something? The rabbit pointed to a door. "Ok." Cruelty goes into the room and finds a Bed with a pink Blanket on it. "Jackpot." He picks it up and covers her with it poorly. "Close enough. Now for the rag." He feels a shrug on his back leg. "Huh?" He turns to find the bunny with the wet rag. "Thanks little guy." He takes the rag and applies it directly to the forehead. "Just like the Commercials." He stood there looking at her. Admiring her beauty. "You know I think I did an okay job" He turns to look at the bunny. "Do you have a name?" he says as he takes a seat on the couch next to Flutter Shy. The Confrontation 2"What is taking Flutter Shy so long? It's almost seven." "Twilight it's six thirty," Said Applejack sitting on the couch. "Ah'm only here because I have nothing else to do." "No something's up she said she was only feeding her birds." "Okay so lets say that she's in trouble, what do you want to do?" Said Apple Jack. "Go to her house is what I would do but I guess that would mean that I'm not in the house, and the would mean I wouldn't be following the rules because I wouldn't get back in time, and I don't break the rules." "Okay then lets stay here." Twilight sat down on her chair. "Alright. Lets see these book princess Celestia gave me." She opens the box and pulls out a journal. "Huh this is Cruelty's journal." She vigorously reads the book within five minutes. "Cruelty had a lover?" She said confused. "Why don't they have names Twilight?" Apple Jack said curiously. "I don't know. Maybe they do they just don't go by them." She says uncertain. "Huh..." Flutter Shy Says as she opens her eyes slowly. "Whoa, Slow down there tiger." Cruelty said with a calm soothing voice. "What happened?" She said, as Cruelty face was right above her. "You passed out. I brought you in and put a blanket on you so you didn't catch a cold." He said as he slowly gave her a cup of tea. "Here I put some stuff in it that helps with situations like this." "Thank you but I have to get going." She tried standing up but started to fall. Cruelty grabbed her before she could land face first. "I got you." He said with a soft tone that he hasn't used in over a thousand years. "If you are so eager to go I will carry you there." "Oh no it's okay." She said as she gently pushed him away. "Are you sure?" He said with a caring tone in his voice. She started to walk "Yeah I'm..." She hit the ground and got a bruise on the left of her face. "Alright I'm carrying you." as he picked her up and put her on his back. "Okay lets head out." He started walking to the door "Wait I need to feed my birds." He stopped and looked at Angel. "You got this?" Angel nodded and Cruelty started his journey. "Okay so where is this place you wants to go to?" He said looking around. "Its ahead just start walking." He started on the yellow stones, thinking about this great discovery he has found. "Has anyone told you what beautiful eyes you have?" He said to Flutter Shy with a charming tone. She blushed and didn't say a word. He smiled and looked over to his left to see a single crimson rose. He went over and plucked it. "Can you hold this for me?" He said handing it to Flutter Shy. "Yeah." She said taking it. "You know I still don’t know your name." She said to him. "Well, I don't have one but you can give me one." "Okay. I will think about a name for you" "Okay. Sounds good. So where is it." He said as he stopped and looked around "Oh take a right" "Okay." He took a left. "Uh Your other right" She said with a giggle. "I knew that." He said as he turned around. "Okay now Ah'm worried too." Said Apple Jack pacing back and forth with Twilight. "It's still six fifty five every pony. Calm down." Said Rainbow Dash looking out side. She turned around to look at Pinkie Pie. "Do you ever sleep?" "Of course I do silly filly." She said jumping up and down. "Okay. Just wondering. You just seem so energetic all of the time. To the point that you look like you can't sleep because of the excitement." A knock appears at the door. Twilight opens it. "Flutter Shy...who are you?" she said with a confused look on her face. "Well you aren't just going to leave a colt outside to freeze to death are you?" Cruelty said with a joking sound in his voice. "No come in." He walks in with Flutter Shy still on his back but asleep. "So what's your name?" Pinkie Pie said with excitement in her voice. "Because I've never seen you before. So you must be new." "Well I don't have a name but I go by Cruelty. Nice to meet you." Every ones jaw was open. "What, is that an unusual name? Well I guess it is." Twilight starts up her horn. "So you are one of the elements of Disharmony?" "I'm guessing you are a Element of Harmony then huh. I would usually try to kill you but I mean you no harm today." He said staring into her eyes. "Let her go." "She's not my prisoner. She…" Rainbow Dash interjected what he was going to say next with "She has a bruise on her face" looking like she could charge at him. "She fell." "Yeah right maybe after you hit her." Apple Jack said. Cruelty started to power his horn. "I'm going to tell you one time before I skin you and eat the flesh off of your bones. Back off. I will tell you what happened, and for starters, why would I bring her here if I meant to harm her?" Twilight backed down. "Good point. Fine you have ten minutes to explain what happened." The ritual 3"That's what happened." Said Cruelty. Every pony just sat there staring at him. He looked away only to see his journal on the ground. "I thought I lost this thing." He said picking it up. "You know I’m going to be honest with you. I don't want to be an Element of Disharmony. It wasn't voluntary. I was Chosen. After the two sisters, now known as Luna and Celestia, brought the end of chaos. I would think about the nights that I would go with her to the spot that we would get lost in each others eyes just admiring one another and gazing up at the stars. Your friend Flutter Shy reminds me of her. Really if you put her against Lucretia you would have twins." He started to weep. "I just wish I could do that again. Go back. Just see her one last time. I wish I could have seen my kid being born." Everyone else was touched by this story. He wiped his tears away. "But that won't happen. And I will never know what my little colt or filly will look like." "Oh Darling." Said Rarity wiping her eyes. "You shouldn't live like that" she walked over to him and puts his head up. "Look at me, you look like a lost soul. But you can regain that. You can live here, in Pony Ville." She said holding her head up, "You don't have to live like that I can give you somewhere to stay." "You can live here. Me and spike can give you a room." Twilight said with some compassion in her voice. "No I can't I have to continue the mission." He walks over to Flutter Shy and takes the crimson rose from her pack. "Thanks for the offer but no thanks." He said as he started up his horn. "See you again" and like that he was gone. "Where were you? It's been a couple hours." Betrayal said with an angry tone in his voice. "I ran into them. The Elements of Harmony.” "Where are they.” Magic without hesitation “This is our chance." "Calm down Magic. We're not strong enough yet but did you get the rose?" "Yes greed I got the rose. Did you really doubt me?" He said reaching into his saddlebag. "A little." He said taking the rose from him and putting it into a mortar and pestle. Magic started to grind it up until it was a thin dust. "Ready everyone? Lets begin." As he poured the dust into the blood he said these words. "With the blood of a queen and a rose a dark as blood. Let our power grow as sharp as a sword." As he said the final words an aura surrounded all six. A large roar came from everyone when it hit them with incredible force. Enough force to kill mortals. They all fell to the ground simultaneously. Magic was the first to get up. "Good can you feel the power?" "Aren't spells supposed to rhyme?" Betrayal said in pain still lying on the ground. "Not all the time. At least not for this spell" "Well most spells don't even need words." "Shut up Depression." Said magic with anger in his voice "Did you... did you make those words up?" "Shut the hell up." Magic said again with even more anger in his voice. "You did Didn't you. Oh this is going on Pony book." "They were a command from Socrath himself." They stood there in silence for a second. Then they busted out laughing. "What the hell is so funny?" Magic said confused. "That's your reason.” Said Betrayal wiping away the tears from laughing to hard. “Did you ever think that he has a cruel sense of humor?" "He wouldn’t do... oh god damn it." They all started to laugh again. "I can't breathe. I can't breathe. Oh god." Said Depression with no more air in his lungs. "Alright that's enough." Magic said a little irritated. They still continued to laugh for a good five minutes. In which everyone was still giggling here and there. "Out of all the people he could have picked from. I got stuck with you guys,” Magic said face hoofing, “God I hate you guys. Anyways, we are now powerful enough to go up against them. We will start planning.” Magic pointed at cruelty, “Except you, Cruelty you will gain there trust." Cruelty stood up. "Okay I will go at once." Gaining their trust 4"God I hope this works." Cruelty said walking on that same road that he carried Flutter Shy on. "Hopefully they let me stay." He thought about that night. "Beautiful aren't they." Cruelty said to Flutter Shy "What are?" "The stars" "You know I never thought about it. But yes they are quite nice huh." "Yeah they remind me of old times, good times." He stopped daydreaming. "Ok left or right. Well I'm on the opposite side so right?" He started to go. Then he stopped and walked the other way. "No this way." He started but then thought. "No, this doesn't feel right." He sat down to think about it. "Jeez, of course they send the directionally challenge one." "Good morning Cruelty." "Morning, now back to thinking." He stared at the ground thinking extraordinarily hard. "Wait a second. Who just said good morning to me?" He looked up and to his right to see Rarity. "Might as well ask. Hey wait up." He said running to Rarity. "Yes." She said waiting for a response. Out of breath he said "Hold on, give me a sec." "Are you really that tired?" "I haven't run in one hundred years. I forgot how much I hate it. Anyways, where is the purple unicorns' house?" she stopped and stared at him for a second. "You forgot that quick?" "I'm directionally challenged ok." "It's the other way. On this exact road." She said holding in a laugh. "Okay. I can do this. Thanks." He turned around and held his head high. Walking straight forward. Not stopping. Except for the flowers he picked up for Flutter Shy. "Ok I made it. It took me a while, but I did it. God I'm awesome." He knocked on the door, but nothing happened. Then from inside he heard. "Spike who's at the door." "How should I know? I'm busy." "You can't even take a look?" "Busy." "I swear you are the most laziest dragon I know." "I'm the only dragon you know." "I've met other dragons before. Remember the dragon that was going to cover Equestria in smoke?" "He was sleeping though." "I know he was. Now go answer the door." "Fine." The young dragon opened the door. "Yes?" "Is this a bad time?" He said looking inside for Flutter Shy. "A little bit." "Spike who is it." "It's the colt from last night. What's your name?" He said looking at the white furred colt. "Cruelty." Spike turned around. "Cruelty." “Tell him to come up stairs." "Okay." Spike turned around "Got that?" The colt just stood there speechless. Reflecting on what just happened. "You know I thought I was Weird but I think you just topped me." "I what?" Spike said thrusting out his chest. "Calm down stud it was just a joke." Cruelty said walking inside of the library. "You live in a library?" Cruelty said looking around? "Yeah and? Where do you live?" Spike said giving him the look. "A coffee shop, ok valid point." He said as he started walking up stairs. At the top he found the purple unicorn lying on her bed. He stood there just to look at his surroundings. "Yes?" She said without even looking at him. "It's funny I don't even know your name. What is that again?" He said about to sit on the chair. "Twilight Sparkle." "Well then Twilight Sparkle I need you to help me." She looked at him and put the book down. "With?" "Girls." She started laughing. "No I'm serious." She stopped and looked at him and started walking closer. "You want help with girls?" She walked up to him. So close there lips were almost touching. "What kind of help." She said looking at him with eyes of lust. "With Flutter Shy." He said while she still gazed at him. Then she said, "Like?" Raising one eyebrow in curiosity. "What is she into, what does she like, what are her hobbies?" She looked at him with passion in her eyes then turned around. "Sorry can’t help you." He Stuttered "What? Why can't you help me?" He said confused. "Because maybe I want you?" "Sorry that's not going to happen. I find one pony and don't stray." "Loyalty eh?" She said looking back at him. "I like that in a colt." "What is wrong with you? You seem different than before." He started to look at the book she was reading. The label said, "Spells of love." Oh that's why. "Ok give me a second." He powered up his horn and did an anti-love spell that he learned from Magic a little while ago. Twilight fell face first to the ground. "God damn it. Again. Well I better do the same thing as before. ‘Spike can you get me a wet rag?’“ "Busy." He sighs "Well it was worth a shot." He grabbed a blanket and put her on the bed she was on before. "You know I should carry around spare blankets. This seems to happen more than usual." He thought as he put a blanket on her. "Alright, nailed it. Time to go." He walked downstairs to see spike making something. "She's unconscious for the moment. She'll be up in a while." Spike without turning around says. "Okay, whatever." Cruelty walked out the door. Spike sat there for a moment. "Wait what did he say?" "You know I feel like that could have gone better. Anyways, Flutter Shy. But how do I get there?" He thought as he saw Pinkie Pie. "There's a time in every colts life where he has to ask a overly happy pink pony where a tree is. Now's my time to shine." He walks over to Pinkie Pie and says, "Hey can you show me which way to go to get to Flutter Shy's house?" Nailed it Cruelty. You're a genius. "I can take you there. Come on." Nice now I even have someone with me so I don't get lost. That went better than expected. He followed the bouncing pony all the way around the town. Finally they got to the cottage. "You know I have a feeling that a third of that trip was pointless, but thanks anyways." "Don't mention it." She looked at him dead in the eyes and stopped bouncing. "Really don't mention this to anybody. Especially the reader." He stood there dumb struck. "What?" She started to bounce back to the town. "Bye." She said looking back. "What?" He stood there for a few minutes wondering what just happened. "...What?" He heard singing. "Okay whatever that was I will never speak of this again." He slowly turned around and started to follow where the singing was. "Where are you?" He finally stumbled across Flutter Shy. He found out it wasn't just her singing birds were also singing with her. He stood there for a moment. Admiring her singing voice. Then he Thought, "Great now I'm a stalker." He walked out from his little hiding spot and waited until she was done. "That was beautiful." She turned around startled. "Oh it's just you." "Yep just me and might I say that you look pretty today." "Thanks." She looked at the ground blushing. "I brought you flowers." He reached into his saddlebag and pulled out dried up lilies and dandelions. "Oh. I guess that tour was longer that expected. How is that even possible”? "They look great." She said walking up to him. She grabbed the dried up flowers from him. "But they are all dried up." He said confused. "It's not what they look like but what the purpose of them are." She said handing them to some birds that took them in the direction of her house. Then he thought, "Lucretia once told me that." He smiled for a second. "I never thanked you for last night." She said in a sweet tone. "Well I didn't have much of a choice now did I?" Then they just stood there staring into each other’s eyes. Until Cruelty said "Did...did you want to go out." She looked at the ground and blushed "Oh well I haven’t... well I haven't thought about it." He walked over to her and lifted her face to his. She started to breathe heavily. “Over the thousand years of living I have never met someone like you. There is nothing I would change about you. Until time ends I promise you this. No one will hurt you. Not with me around. No one…” Then he leaned in and kissed her. After what felt like hours she pulled back and said, "Where would you want to go?" Cruelty thought about it for a moment. "This upcoming Friday, there is a party in Canterlot for Princess Luna. It's her one-year anniversary of coming back from the moon. What do you say?" She blushes. After a moment looking into his eyes she leans in and says, "Yes." She then kisses him and Cruelty felt different. He felt something he never felt before. Not since Lucretia. He felt alive. That kiss lasted for eternity. At least he thought so. The rest of the night they went to a place with yellow flowers that matched Flutter Shy's skin, and they watched the stars... The party 5All of the ponies stood there in silence with their jaws on the ground. “You two are what?” Twilight said after picking up her jaw. “Cruelty and I are going out. I just wanted to let you girls know.” They all picked up their jaws, and looked at her confused. Not even knowing what to say next. Then Cruelty walked up spike. “Looks like were going to be best friends.” He said grinning at spike. The girls huddled around Flutter Shy. “Flutter Shy are you Sure?” Said Rarity. “You barley meet him and now you want a relationship?” “I don’t know what it is about him. But he’s a nice guy.” Rainbow Dash pointed at her “He’s an element of Disharmony. He’s evil.” “I can change him. First off has he ever hurt you?” “He threatened all of us.” “When?” “When he brought you here.” “But did he hurt you?” Rainbow Dash took a step back. “Well no.” “And isn’t he suppose to be evil?” “Yeah.” “Then why didn’t he hurt you?” Flutter Shy took a step towards her. “Ok. Fine. Maybe he’s not evil, but he certainly not nice.” “What were saying is,” Twilight said stepping between them, “You should think about it more. Maybe he is using you.” “For?” Twilight stopped for a second. “I don’t know.” A big bang happened out nowhere. Then confetti started to fall down. “This calls for a party!” Screamed Pinkie. “I’m going to get it started.” “Pinkie what’s a party?” Cruelty said looking at her. She stopped bouncing and looked at him dead in the eyes. “You don’t know what a party is?” Cruelty felt like he should have kept his mouth shut. “No what is it?” “A party is a thing pony’s do when they want to celebrate something. Often said by solders, this is my party. There are many like it but this one is mine. Without my party I am useless. My party without me my party is useless. Now take that and process It.” everyone stood there for a moment to process it. “Now, Cruelty I’m taking you with me since you asked you are going to take orders from me to help everyone else prep for the party.” “Ok.” Him and pinkie were walking out the door. Cruelty turned around mouthing “Help me.” Then the door shut. “Okay pinkie where are we going?” He said accepting his fate. “To get some cupcakes.” She said not even noticing Cruelty already slipped away and was heading back to Twilights house. “Okay lets not speak when not spoken to.” As he was walking up to the house Rarity walked by. “Hi Rarity.” “Hello Cruelty. Hey can you help me with unloading some stuff?” “What kind of Stuff?” he said as he turned around and started walking with her. “Just some fabric I had imported.” “Why not?” He said as rarity giggled The car pulled up right by them. “Ok” Rarity said pulling out a note pad and a pen. “Lets see what we have here.” The trunk popped open and Cruelty got out the first and biggest roll of cloth. Rarity checked something on the paper “Yes ok.” Cruelty went and put it inside on one of the pedestals. Then he came back out and did the same to the next one. About fifteen rolls later the car drove of and him and rarity went inside. “Those rolls were heavier than expected,” Cruelty said taking the cold drink from Rarity. “Thanks.” “No thank you, Cruelty. I don’t know how I would have managed that.” “Aren’t you a unicorn? Why wouldn’t you just levitate it in?” “I’m not use to carrying something that heavy.” Rarity sat down across from him. “Anyways, Cruelty how much did you want?” “Of what? Money? None, just helping a friend.” “Alright well if you need anything come tell me, okay?” Rarity looked at Cruelty waiting for a response. “Thank you Rarity. I like you. Me and you are going to be good friends.” Rarity smiled. “Yes we are. Now I think Rainbow Dash needed some help.” ”Okay. I’ll go talk to her about that.” He started walking out of the door. “Thanks Rarity.” “No problem” Cruelty outside felt like it was really dark. “It’s not night time? It’s like twelve.” “Yes it is. Now can you help me somehow these clouds have been at it all day.” Said Rainbow Dash soaring out of the sky and landing next to him. Oh wait you’re a unicorn. “Well so much for that.” “Oh yeah.” Cruelty said as she started to fly. “Watch this.” His horn started to brighten. His long silver like hair was flowing upward as the ground started to show a dark purple pentagram on the ground. Glowing bright as it pours out a black smoke. From his back two bones then bursts out from his back vertically. Then it sprung out four bones on the side, still with some flesh on them joined together to make wings. “What was that about all for nothing?” Rainbow Dash stopped in midair and then fainted from awesomeness. “You know what. I brought a spare blanket this time.” He walked over and set it down on her. “Now’s my time to shine.” Cruelty flew up into the air and shot in a straightforward bolt. When he reached the end he turned around into a different path of clouds this time expanding his wings fully out. Taking out five in a row. He felt like if he did this it would take all day. He flew up for a minute. Then he flung himself like a dart to the bulls’ eye. Not stopping, and as soon as he hit the clouds he let out a sonic boom. Instead of it being rainbow it was a dark red that hung in the air for a couple of minutes. It pulsed every now and again and then it faded away. Cruelty landed near Rainbow Dash and put his wings back into his skin. “There now I have helped you. No need to thank me.” “Wow, Cruelty. How did you do that?” “I have lived for over one thousand years. I’ve done my research.” He then grabbed the blanket from Rainbow Dash and put it back in his saddlebag. “I knew that would come in handy.” Apple Jack walked up to him. Amazed at what she just witnessed “Wow. I’ve never seen that before.” “Well I do practice. I’m the best out of the six of us.” “Well ah sure would like some help.” “Sure I’ll help. What else do I have to do today?” Him and Apple Jack started walking. Cruelty and Apple Jack got back to her barn. “Okay I’ve been haven’ some problems with birds. No matter what I do they come back. Can you help me with that?” Cruelty thought about how to solve the problem. He could a kill them, or b Scare them so they never come back. He couldn’t decide so he asked Apple Jack. “I don’t know. I’d rather scare them…” “Scare them it is. ” Cruelty started up his horn. “Stand back Apple Jack.” The sky slowly turned black with thunder here and there. The wind started picking up and Crueltys’ face began to turn into a purple mist, as did the area around him. In the clouds his face pierced the souls of all of the animals, Apple Jack included. Thunder started to hit the ground. Around two to three per second. Which had no need for when the first one hit, all of the birds flew away. Cruelty felt like that was enough. He began to recede his face into the clouds. The smoke stopped appearing and the clouds slowly started to fade away. “Well, Apple Jack. I did a mighty fine job don’t you think?” He looked around for her. “Hello? Man I hope I didn’t scare her off. Well I have now made friends with everyone. Time to head back.” The rescue 7Cruelty put the sphere on the table in the middle of the room. He thought about what he did. How could he turn his new friends in? Then he realized it’s not to late. Magic put the sphere on the table in the middle of the room. “Now to have some fun.” His white ethereal started to fade away and he turned into a black smoke and went into the orb himself. Twilight opened her eyes and looked around to see nothing but blackness. “Hello? Is anyone there?” Twilight powered up her horn for a light. “That won’t help you here.” A voice called out. “Who’s there?” Twilight said looking around. “Me. The opposite of you.” A big demon looking face appeared out of the shadows. “So what element are you?” “Magic.” “That’s not possible. There can’t be two elements of magic” “You know there are different kinds of magic.” Cruelty put his hoof on the orb. “Flutter Shy.” As his hoof retreated from the sphere Flutter Shy started to follow right behind it. “Flutter Shy!” She fell on the floor unconscious. He got the blanket off of the table and put it on her. “I’ll be back.” Cruelty stood up and walked out the door. Cruelty looked around wondering which door was Rarity in. He heard a scream from the right and ran into the room. It was rarity on a torture desk with a knife from Greed about to cut into her stomach. Cruelty lifted a knife off of the table and threw it at greed with one swift movement. Greed moved back and then flew onto the ceiling and darted right at Cruelty. He moved to the side before greed got to him. He then grabbed Greeds wing and threw him into the ground. Cruelty grabbed the orb from his saddlebag, but was to late and was hit in the knee making him fall to the ground and dropping the orb. He kicked greed across the room and grabbed the orb off of the ground. Greed was right there to swing at cruelty. In a sudden motion Cruelty ducked and forced the orb right inside of Greeds heart. Greed unable to fight crashed through the door and hit the table in the middle of the center room. A trail of blood following him. Greed then grabbed the orb Rarity was in. He then walked over and let her free. Rarity leapt up and hugged him. “Oh darling I love you.” “I have to go get everyone else. Stay right here. Okay?” “Okay. Be safe.” Cruelty went out of the room to see that Depression and Lying there. “Hey there boys.” Cruelty brought out his wings and the battle began. Depression kicked a bucket on the ground at cruelty in which he hit to the ground, but Lying was right behind it. He used his wings to block the upcoming attack. And throw him into the air. In which on the ceiling threw himself at Depression. Depression then unsheathed sword and cut Cruelty on the side. Cruelty pierced Depression with his wing. Right after he used him as a pony shield as Lying charged at him. Lying hit depression and split his body in half with the force alone. Cruelty reached forward and grabbed him by the throat. Then he ripped it out. His lifeless body fell to the ground. He looked to the door where Rarity was “Get your friends out of here.” He then walked over to the door Rainbow Dash was in. “Betrayal.” “Cruelty. I knew this would happen.” He said as he took the knife and shoved it into Rainbow Dashes hoof. “Ah. You ass hole!” “Silence Bitch.” “Betrayal let her go.” Cruelty spread out his wings. “Or what good friend.” Betrayal said twisting the knife. “Or this.” Cruelty used the sword behind Betrayal and stabbed it through his heart. “Cruelty?” Betrayal hit the ground with one thud. “Goodbye big Brother.” Cruelty said looking away in disgust. “Okay Rainbow Dash, I got you.” He said letting her down on the ground. “Are you hurt other than your hoof?” She started crying from the pain. “Here,” he said powering up his horn, “This is a sedative and will also knock you out for a while.” He touched her on the head with his hoof and she passed out. He grabbed the cloth on the table and wrapped her hoof in it. ‘Now to go get Twilight.’ Cruelty barged in to see twilight with a knife up to her throat. “Don’t take a step forward, Cruelty. I have waited one thousand year for this moment and you will not stop me.” Cruelty stopped for a second. Then he heard the door open. “Cruelty?” He turned around to see Flutter Shy standing there with her wings spread out. Then they both turned and cracked backwards. “AAAHHhh…” She fell to the ground. Cruelty turned around looking at Magic. Cruelty began to become ethereal and black smoke went around him flowing upward. A purple glowing Pentagram appeared on the ground and started to rise. It stopped at his chest then rotated until it was straight upward. It went forward until it hit the top of his nose. Cruelties red glowing eyes locked eyes with Magics. Then the pentagram caved in until it became a knife. Then it lunged at magic hitting him dead on in his left eye. He fell to the ground. Twilight ran to Flutter Shy. Cruelty then turned around and leaned down and kissed Flutter Shy on the head. A pulse from that spot went through her body and healed everything. She looked up at him in his full form. White skin, Pure wings coated in black smoke, Dark red eyes. She smiled at him and he smiled back. Then he fainted. Epilogue?“Knock, Knock?” Said Rarity as she walked into the changing room. “Hey, Rarity.” Cruelty said as he turned around smiling. “Wow” She said looking at him in his tuxedo that Rarity made herself. “You look great.” “Thanks for making this for me.” She walked over and fixed the bowtie that he had on. “It’s the least I could do since you saved me.” She looked at him. “You know, If Flutter Shy and you don’t work out. I’d be willing.” He stood there for a second. “Willing to what?” She leaned up to him. “That’s a Secret only you can find out.” She turned around and started walking out of her house. “Well come on, Let’s not keep her waiting.” “Coming.” He said running after her. Flutter Shy walked out of her house. Wearing a green dress that was also made by Rarity. It was made out of silk and she had a golden colored tiara, With Emeralds on it. “Wow Flutter Shy.” Twilight said in her dress that was a black silk and even had a spiral pattern, with amethysts along it. “I think you top me.” “You really think so?” she said blushing. “Yes I do.” She smiled at Flutter Shy “Well lets go meet the princess.” Flutter Shy followed her to where the royal wedding was held. The party was big. Pinkie was in charge. Octavia and DJ P0N-3 were pinned up in a Dubstep-Classical music showdown. The entire apple family was there selling everything apple like. The two girls just kept walking through the crowd. They finally got to the front of the place to see princess Luna and Celestia sitting on their throne. “Greetings Twilight Sparkle. We are most pleased to see thou.” “Hello, Luna. Are you enjoying yourself?” “We are.” Luna took a drink, “Now dear Flutter Shy where is your date? You said you had one didn’t you?” Flutter Shy took a step back. “Well he should be here.” The doors opened and the music battle stopped. Flutter Shy turned to see Cruelty. “Rarity” Cruelty whispered toward her “they’re staring at me.” “I know just start walking. I’ll be right behind you.” Cruelty and Rarity both took a step forward, and then another, everyone being dead silent the entire time. Cruelties heart was beating rapidly. “They’re still just looking.” He said leaning towards her. “It’s ok just keep walking.” They finally made it to the front. Where Flutter Shy was. “Hey beautiful.” Flutter Shy blushed and looked away. “So,” Celestia began “You are cruelty.” “Yes I am, and you are Celestia.” “Yes I am.” She looked at him for a while before saying. “You killed the other elements I heard. Is that true?” “Yes but,” He looked over at Flutter Shy “people still got hurt.” Celestia looked down at him. “Kneel.” “What?” He said confused “I want you to kneel.” Cruelty thought about it for a second. Then he dropped down. Celestia then lowered her head and put her horn on his right shoulder. “I here by declare you,” She touched his other shoulder with her horn. “The knight of Equestria.” He looked up at her. “You may rise.” With that said the place cheered. But the cheering slowly turned to panic when there was a large thud. “What’s going on?” Twilight said. Celestia and Luna rose out of their seats. “He’s back.” Going out with a bangThe castle shakes. “Celestia,” Twilight said in a scared tone “Who is?” “Socrath.” The castle shakes again. “Who’s that?” Cruelty looked at Twilight “It’s my old master. He’s what we were trying to bring back.” “How do we stop him?” “The elements of harmony. Celestia do you have them?” Celestia commanded the guards to get them. “Okay,” Cruelty said, “This is what you need to do.” The castle started to rumble as half of the wall opened up. There outside of the castle was a giant red demon with, two horns, two blades, and around five hundred feet tall. Everyone started to slide towards the edge of the room where the hole was. Cruelty, Flutter Shy, and Twilight held onto the pillars. Almost everyone was thrown out. Luckily the wonder bolts were there and they brought them back into the castle. Then Flutter Shy started to slip. “Cruelty?” “You’ll be fine.” “I’m slipping.” Then she started to slide down to her death. “I got you.” Cruelty darted towards her with full force. He expelled his wings from his body. As soon as he grabbed her he dug his wing into the ground snapping it. “Cruelty.” She shrieked in fright. “You’re fine. I got you.” He said reassuring her. “They’re beautiful aren’t they?” “What are?” “The stars.” He said looking up. “Yeah they are.” She said looking up with him. Then she slipped “Cruelty I’m slipping.” “Do you trust me?” “Yes.” He looked at her and smiled then extended his wing and then he pulled his other wing out. Sending them into a free fall. Cruelty brings Flutter Shy close to him and wraps his wings around them. He hugged her. Holding her as tight as her could. “Cruelty.” They both hit the ground. Twilight looked over at Celestia who now has the elements of harmony. Twilight grabbed all of them and gave it to the other girls. Then she lets Flutter Shy’s slide off of the castle. “Cruelty are you ok?” Flutter Shy said as she got out of his wings. “Yeah. I’m fine. Are you?” He looked at her, and in that moment, she never looked so beautiful. “Yeah I’m alright.” “Okay time to go see Socrath.” “Wait. What about your wing.” He looked at it and noticed it was only hanging on by a vain. He then made his wings retreat into his body. “It will regenerate in my body. I’ll be back.” Then he took off as Flutter Shy’s necklace hit the ground behind her. Walking on the yellow stones. The red hews of the fire against the blue sky. Then in his path was an old friend but a new foe, Magic. “You can’t beat me Cruelty. There is no way.” “You will not leave this place alive today, Magic.” Cruelty started to unleash his wings. “Then so be it.” Magic did the same thing. Magic rushed at Cruelty in a dash leaving behind a black smoke trail. He grabbed Cruelty by the throat and squeezed it as hard as he could. Cruelty took his wing and stabbed Magic in the kidney, in which Cruelty put his legs on Magic and kicked upward, throwing Magic into the sky. Magic quickly regained his sense of direction and darted back down at him. Cruelty Flung himself at Magic with great force. The two collide in the air and start stabbing each other with their wings. They both landed on the ground and cruelty shot a ray of magic at his former friend, making Magic fly backwards into a building. Magic got up but was knocked from his spot by Cruelty. Cruelty stopped after they went through a few houses, leaving Magic with no air in his lungs. “We don’t have to do this.” Cruelty said yelling at Magic. “Yes we do. I have waited one thousand years for this moment and you are not going to ruin it for me.” Magic Charged at Cruelty, but cruelty stepped to the side and put out his wing in a spear formation. Magic rammed right into it. In which he now looked like a pig being grilled. Cruelty looked at Magic. “This is what you wanted? This is what you actually like?” Cruelty slid Magic off of his wing. “Your are pitiful thing to look at.” Cruelty walked over to where Flutter Shy’s house is and set his Saddlebag a note, and some of his hair on it. He then flew back to the Canterlot. There he found everyone there, even Flutter Shy. “Ready girls?” Twilight said as she powered up the elements. The girls were lifted into the air and a big blast of light went off. Everything was restored. Then they sent a powerful ray of light directly toward the demon that was right next to them. A portal to the other realm was open and the demon was sucked in. then Cruelty started to slide into it. “Cruelty?” Rarity said still in the air. “What’s going on?” “The portal sucks everything that was originally in the old times in. That counts as me.” “Cruelty?” Flutter Shy Said starting to cry. “Don’t cry Flutter Shy. I’ll always be there in your heart.” Cruelty slowly progressed toward the portal. “Twilight?” Rarity said “Can’t we stop this?” “No. I tried already. It’s waiting for Cruelty.” “Flutter Shy look at me.” Cruelty said as it was getting harder to hold on. “You are the most beautiful pony I’ve ever met. Even though we only spent a little bit of time together. It was the best I’ve had in my entire life.” “NO!” Flutter Shy screamed. “There has to be some way.” “I wish there was sweetie, but I have to go. I love you.” “I love you too.” Then Cruelty stopped holding on and went into the portal. The real party starts 6"Tomorrow huh?" Twilight said looking at Flutter Shy wondering the best approach was going on a date with him. "Oh yes. Twilight he's so romantic. Him and me watched the stars together and then he walked me home. He's even good with Angel." She paused for a moment. Let out a deep sigh then looked at Twilight. Then Twilight said "Is he really that sweet?" since she knew what he has done just from his journal. "Yes. It's hard to believe that he's an Element of Disharmony. Do we really need to fight him?” She said looking at Twilight like a lost puppy. "Yes, if we have to. We'll try not to." Flutter Shy put down the hot tea and walked down stairs. "Good night Twilight." Twilight smiled. "Good night." Twilight was still uncertain about the other elements. "There's no way he's nice.” She thought about it for a second, “Well he did help me." She cuddled up to the pillow. "It’s just not possible." "Cruelty it's been days." Said Betrayal with blood shot eyes. "Correction, it's been one day and why are your eyes red?" Cruelty shut the door and put his saddlebag on the ground. "Well, over the days I realized. Coffee is really good." "Congratulations " “I haven’t been able to sleep at night though.” “I bet you haven’t.” “Any ideas why?” He looked up at the red-eyed Pegasus “No.” Cruelty then walked over to Magic. Who looked like had some orbs. “So you finally got some balls?” “Oh shut the hell up and look at these.” Magic took out the spheres and put them on the table. The spheres were pouring out black smoke, even though it had a solid form. “What are these?” he said looking at magic in curiosity. “Have you played any of the Elder Colts games?” “Yeah why.” “Think of these as soul gems.” He said gazing at them. “But unlike the soul gems the pony or colt trapped doesn’t need to die.” Cruelty stood there staring at the orbs. Depression walked up to the table. “I like them a lot. Easy concept. Nicely flowing smoke. What’s there not to like?” “No one is talking to you Depression.” Cruelty said looking at him. “Yeah I am.” “No your not. Now go sit down.” “No I can stay here if I want to ass hat.” “At least I have more friends than you.” Depression looked down at the ground and slowly walked back to the corner. “Now back to business.” Said Magic looking back at the orbs. “Another neat trick about these is that you can release people after.” Cruelty looked at them for a moment “So where did you get them?” “The home evil.” “Well how do they work?” Magic looked over at him with grin from cheek to cheek. “We just need a sample of their DNA. Like a piece of hair or saliva.” Magic looked back at the orbs. “Then you just put it on top and bob’s your uncle.” “So how are you going to get the samples?” Cruelty said. “I sent Greed and Lying to get them. Unlike you they should be back in a few minutes.” “Okay then where do we go from there?” They heard a knock at the door. “What’s the password?” Betrayal asked in a deep tone. “Password.” Said a voice from beyond the door. Magic smiled and looked over to Cruelty. “I thought of that one myself.” Betrayal opened the door to see Greed the Blood red colt and Lying the Dark blue Colt with manes resembling the others skin. “I got the samples.” Said greed holding up hair from each of the girls. “And I got the elements of harmony.” Lying said as he held up a box. “Great.” Magic rubbing his hoofs together, “Next time you aren’t going Cruelty.” Magic turned around and picked up the Spheres. “Now let’s get the real party started.” Magic turned around and everyone stood up. “We have waited for one thousand years for this moment. We will take earth back for the dark one, Socrath, but before we do that we need to kill the main enemies. The elements of harmony.” Greed walked over to magic and gave him the samples. “Everyone will take there opposite element.” Magic tossed everyone his own sphere. Then he handed everyone there opposite element samples. “How you get them out is you put your hoof on it and just say their name.” Everyone nodded then put the samples on the sphere. One after another the elements of harmony showed up. First Rainbow Dash was first. Then Apple Jack, Pinkie Pie, and Twilight. Cruelty thought about what he had just done. The only friends he had were now trapped. Rarity then showed up. Cruelty shed one single tear. Then Flutter Shy showed up in the orb in front of him. “Now,” Magic said smiling. “Everyone pick a room and start the torture.” Cruelty saw all of his friends go into the rooms. He turned around and went into his room. Thinking about how he was going to save them. The actual Epilogue"Ok Flutter Shy are you ready?" Twilight asked not certain this was going to work. She put the orb on the ground with the hair above it. "Yes, Twilight" She said nodding. "Okay lets give it a shot." she set the hair on it. A familiar face showed up. Twilight put her hoof on it and said "Cruelty."
Ponyville 1Long ago when Chaos was in control. Six elements roamed the lands of Equestria and were known as greed, Depression, Cruelty, lying, Betrayal and Magic. Cruelty out of the six had a week spot for a Pegasus known as Lucretia. Eyes that were an unforgettable teal With a long flowing pink hair, with a curl at the end, that went all the way down to her hoofs and fur as yellow as the flowers that were at one of the last spots of the world that wasn't corrupt. They would go there every night and just look at the stars. Time passed and Lucretia became pregnant but before the baby could be born two sisters arose from the darkness. The two sisters were known as Luna and Celestia. Lucretia was near them at the time and was obliterated from the blast of harmony along with the rest of the chaos. The six friends took shelter and waited for a sign from their lord Socrath. Over one thousand years passed and finally Socrath gave them a command "Go to Pony Ville for the elements of Harmony are there. Bring them back hear and I will corrupt them and bring the world crumbling to its knees." "Yes my lord," said Magic with a bow. This is where the story begins. "Princess Celestia should have been here by now." said twilight pacing back and forth. "Maybe I should talk to her about arriving on time." "Twilight?" "I can see it now. Dear princess Celestia I would like to discuss being on time." "Twilight?" "I am always on time so I think..." "I will except the letter later ok." Said Celestia as Twilight slowly turned around. "But we have bigger issues at the moment." Celestia then had her two guards set down the box they were carrying. "These books are what you need to read. They are about what happened before the world was at peace, and are also about the Elements of Disharmony." "Elements of Disharmony?" Twilight spoke confused, "That's a thing?" "I thought that there were only the elements of harmony." Rarity declared. "Oh yes," Celestia said, "There is always an opposing power equal to anything. The names are,” Celestia looked at Flutter Shy, “Cruelty The opposite of Kindness", Flutter Shy took a step back. Celestia looked at Apple Jack, “Lying the opposite of Honesty”, Apple Jack holding her head high said, “He’s no trouble with me around." Celestia looked at Rainbow Dash, “Betrayal the opposite of Loyalty”, “He needs to be about twenty percent cooler." Celestia looked a Pinkie, “Depression the opposite of Happiness”, Pinkie jumping around, “A new best friends." Celestia looked at Rarity, “Greed the opposite of Generosity”, Rarity looked away in disgust, “And their leader and even I don't know his element", Celestia said with concern for Twilight in her voice. "Now hold up", Rainbow dash said walking up to Celestia, "What do you want us to do about it?" After a few moments passed Celestia said, "Keep the elements of harmony safe. You are all going to stay at Twilights house until further notice." "You want what?" said Chrysalis the queen of the Changelings. "Blood, we are being nice at the moment but we will use force if we have to." said magic in a threatening tone his dark red glowing eyes staring deeply into Chrysalis's soul. "We need it from you though." "How much" Barked Chrysalis "An ounce for each of us." "Fine you can have it." Chrysalis without hesitation grabbed a knife and slit her wrist. The blood draining into the container. After she was done she gave the blood to Betrayal. "Good Girl" "Now get out of here" Chrysalis spoke licking the blood from the knife. "Where are my manners? Thank you Queen." Cruelty said with a bow. "Now to Pony Ville we need to go get some flowers." said magic with a grin. "Gay" "Oh shut up Depression." "Wow this is so boring having a sleep over. What are we twelve?" Rainbow Dash said with a moan in her voice. "It's only five can I go get my things Twilight?" Rarity said looking out of the window. "I don't know the Princess said to stay at my house until further notice." "I need to go feed my birds Twilight. They have gone five hours without eating." Flutter Shy said worried "Fine just everyone be back by seven." "Yes mam." All the other ponies said synchronized as they all rushed out the door. "Twilight do you think there is such a thing. I mean the Elements of Disharmony?" "I don't know spike but we'll see." "Alright Cruelty," Said Depression in a low voice, "go find us some flowers. We will be here waiting for your return." "Ok but where can I find crimson red flowers?" He waits for a response. "Hello?" He turns around to see the door shut to the coffee shop or in other words the hidden base. Well I should start in the woods. But where are the woods? Oh well it's going to take them a while to get the preparations for the spell. Cruelty sighed I guess I’ll go this way. The unicorn turns right and heads straight through the center of Pony Ville. As he's walking he sees all of the beautiful houses. The red hews against the dark blue sky. The yellow road he could look at forever. He looked up wanting to see Lucretia. It seemed like a lifetime since he had seen her and yet he could still hear the whispers of her voice saying I love you. A single tear dropped from his eye. "I miss her so. But life still goes on." He stops in his path, and takes a seat. Looking blankly into the small crowd in the town square. Then he sees someone with long pink mane and a yellow hued style hair. Just walking among the crowd. "Lucretia?" The pony looked unsettled, but continued through the crowd. “Ok let’s go.” Cruelty followed her for a while. Until there was a tree that she went in. He kept thinking, "No it can’t be her," He walked up to the door. As nervous as ever he lifted his hoof to the door and was about to knock. He stopped inches away from the door but was interrupted when the door opened. His heart dropped. This Pegasus had to be Lucretia. "Oh. Can I uh...help you?" She said in a soft tone. Speechless Cruelty just stood there with his jaw dropped. "Uh...hello?" "Oh sorry it's just been so long." He said looking straight into her eyes. "I don't believe we have ever met,” she said. "Are you not Lucretia?" He said in a sad tone to this ghost from his past. "No I’m Flutter Shy..." With those words she fainted from being too nervous. "Oh shit," He said with this unconscious pony in front of his white hoofs. He leaned down to see if she was still alive. "Hello?" She said nothing. Well I can't just leave you hear now can I. I can't take you to my place. Um, He looked around and saw no pony in sight. "Ok lets get you inside." He put her on his back and brought her into her house. "Ok where to set you." He looked around the room and found the couch. "That looks good enough." He walks over and sets her down. “Ok now I think I need a wet rag and a blanket...I think.” He sees a bunny at his feet wondering what happened. "Hey it wasn't me. Now can you help me find a blanket? " He said nicely. What the hell since when do I ask nicely for something? The rabbit pointed to a door. "Ok." Cruelty goes into the room and finds a Bed with a pink Blanket on it. "Jackpot." He picks it up and covers her with it poorly. "Close enough. Now for the rag." He feels a shrug on his back leg. "Huh?" He turns to find the bunny with the wet rag. "Thanks little guy." He takes the rag and applies it directly to the forehead. "Just like the Commercials." He stood there looking at her. Admiring her beauty. "You know I think I did an okay job" He turns to look at the bunny. "Do you have a name?" he says as he takes a seat on the couch next to Flutter Shy.
The Confrontation 2"What is taking Flutter Shy so long? It's almost seven." "Twilight it's six thirty," Said Applejack sitting on the couch. "Ah'm only here because I have nothing else to do." "No something's up she said she was only feeding her birds." "Okay so lets say that she's in trouble, what do you want to do?" Said Apple Jack. "Go to her house is what I would do but I guess that would mean that I'm not in the house, and the would mean I wouldn't be following the rules because I wouldn't get back in time, and I don't break the rules." "Okay then lets stay here." Twilight sat down on her chair. "Alright. Lets see these book princess Celestia gave me." She opens the box and pulls out a journal. "Huh this is Cruelty's journal." She vigorously reads the book within five minutes. "Cruelty had a lover?" She said confused. "Why don't they have names Twilight?" Apple Jack said curiously. "I don't know. Maybe they do they just don't go by them." She says uncertain. "Huh..." Flutter Shy Says as she opens her eyes slowly. "Whoa, Slow down there tiger." Cruelty said with a calm soothing voice. "What happened?" She said, as Cruelty face was right above her. "You passed out. I brought you in and put a blanket on you so you didn't catch a cold." He said as he slowly gave her a cup of tea. "Here I put some stuff in it that helps with situations like this." "Thank you but I have to get going." She tried standing up but started to fall. Cruelty grabbed her before she could land face first. "I got you." He said with a soft tone that he hasn't used in over a thousand years. "If you are so eager to go I will carry you there." "Oh no it's okay." She said as she gently pushed him away. "Are you sure?" He said with a caring tone in his voice. She started to walk "Yeah I'm..." She hit the ground and got a bruise on the left of her face. "Alright I'm carrying you." as he picked her up and put her on his back. "Okay lets head out." He started walking to the door "Wait I need to feed my birds." He stopped and looked at Angel. "You got this?" Angel nodded and Cruelty started his journey. "Okay so where is this place you wants to go to?" He said looking around. "Its ahead just start walking." He started on the yellow stones, thinking about this great discovery he has found. "Has anyone told you what beautiful eyes you have?" He said to Flutter Shy with a charming tone. She blushed and didn't say a word. He smiled and looked over to his left to see a single crimson rose. He went over and plucked it. "Can you hold this for me?" He said handing it to Flutter Shy. "Yeah." She said taking it. "You know I still don’t know your name." She said to him. "Well, I don't have one but you can give me one." "Okay. I will think about a name for you" "Okay. Sounds good. So where is it." He said as he stopped and looked around "Oh take a right" "Okay." He took a left. "Uh Your other right" She said with a giggle. "I knew that." He said as he turned around. "Okay now Ah'm worried too." Said Apple Jack pacing back and forth with Twilight. "It's still six fifty five every pony. Calm down." Said Rainbow Dash looking out side. She turned around to look at Pinkie Pie. "Do you ever sleep?" "Of course I do silly filly." She said jumping up and down. "Okay. Just wondering. You just seem so energetic all of the time. To the point that you look like you can't sleep because of the excitement." A knock appears at the door. Twilight opens it. "Flutter Shy...who are you?" she said with a confused look on her face. "Well you aren't just going to leave a colt outside to freeze to death are you?" Cruelty said with a joking sound in his voice. "No come in." He walks in with Flutter Shy still on his back but asleep. "So what's your name?" Pinkie Pie said with excitement in her voice. "Because I've never seen you before. So you must be new." "Well I don't have a name but I go by Cruelty. Nice to meet you." Every ones jaw was open. "What, is that an unusual name? Well I guess it is." Twilight starts up her horn. "So you are one of the elements of Disharmony?" "I'm guessing you are a Element of Harmony then huh. I would usually try to kill you but I mean you no harm today." He said staring into her eyes. "Let her go." "She's not my prisoner. She…" Rainbow Dash interjected what he was going to say next with "She has a bruise on her face" looking like she could charge at him. "She fell." "Yeah right maybe after you hit her." Apple Jack said. Cruelty started to power his horn. "I'm going to tell you one time before I skin you and eat the flesh off of your bones. Back off. I will tell you what happened, and for starters, why would I bring her here if I meant to harm her?" Twilight backed down. "Good point. Fine you have ten minutes to explain what happened."
The ritual 3"That's what happened." Said Cruelty. Every pony just sat there staring at him. He looked away only to see his journal on the ground. "I thought I lost this thing." He said picking it up. "You know I’m going to be honest with you. I don't want to be an Element of Disharmony. It wasn't voluntary. I was Chosen. After the two sisters, now known as Luna and Celestia, brought the end of chaos. I would think about the nights that I would go with her to the spot that we would get lost in each others eyes just admiring one another and gazing up at the stars. Your friend Flutter Shy reminds me of her. Really if you put her against Lucretia you would have twins." He started to weep. "I just wish I could do that again. Go back. Just see her one last time. I wish I could have seen my kid being born." Everyone else was touched by this story. He wiped his tears away. "But that won't happen. And I will never know what my little colt or filly will look like." "Oh Darling." Said Rarity wiping her eyes. "You shouldn't live like that" she walked over to him and puts his head up. "Look at me, you look like a lost soul. But you can regain that. You can live here, in Pony Ville." She said holding her head up, "You don't have to live like that I can give you somewhere to stay." "You can live here. Me and spike can give you a room." Twilight said with some compassion in her voice. "No I can't I have to continue the mission." He walks over to Flutter Shy and takes the crimson rose from her pack. "Thanks for the offer but no thanks." He said as he started up his horn. "See you again" and like that he was gone. "Where were you? It's been a couple hours." Betrayal said with an angry tone in his voice. "I ran into them. The Elements of Harmony.” "Where are they.” Magic without hesitation “This is our chance." "Calm down Magic. We're not strong enough yet but did you get the rose?" "Yes greed I got the rose. Did you really doubt me?" He said reaching into his saddlebag. "A little." He said taking the rose from him and putting it into a mortar and pestle. Magic started to grind it up until it was a thin dust. "Ready everyone? Lets begin." As he poured the dust into the blood he said these words. "With the blood of a queen and a rose a dark as blood. Let our power grow as sharp as a sword." As he said the final words an aura surrounded all six. A large roar came from everyone when it hit them with incredible force. Enough force to kill mortals. They all fell to the ground simultaneously. Magic was the first to get up. "Good can you feel the power?" "Aren't spells supposed to rhyme?" Betrayal said in pain still lying on the ground. "Not all the time. At least not for this spell" "Well most spells don't even need words." "Shut up Depression." Said magic with anger in his voice "Did you... did you make those words up?" "Shut the hell up." Magic said again with even more anger in his voice. "You did Didn't you. Oh this is going on Pony book." "They were a command from Socrath himself." They stood there in silence for a second. Then they busted out laughing. "What the hell is so funny?" Magic said confused. "That's your reason.” Said Betrayal wiping away the tears from laughing to hard. “Did you ever think that he has a cruel sense of humor?" "He wouldn’t do... oh god damn it." They all started to laugh again. "I can't breathe. I can't breathe. Oh god." Said Depression with no more air in his lungs. "Alright that's enough." Magic said a little irritated. They still continued to laugh for a good five minutes. In which everyone was still giggling here and there. "Out of all the people he could have picked from. I got stuck with you guys,” Magic said face hoofing, “God I hate you guys. Anyways, we are now powerful enough to go up against them. We will start planning.” Magic pointed at cruelty, “Except you, Cruelty you will gain there trust." Cruelty stood up. "Okay I will go at once."
Gaining their trust 4"God I hope this works." Cruelty said walking on that same road that he carried Flutter Shy on. "Hopefully they let me stay." He thought about that night. "Beautiful aren't they." Cruelty said to Flutter Shy "What are?" "The stars" "You know I never thought about it. But yes they are quite nice huh." "Yeah they remind me of old times, good times." He stopped daydreaming. "Ok left or right. Well I'm on the opposite side so right?" He started to go. Then he stopped and walked the other way. "No this way." He started but then thought. "No, this doesn't feel right." He sat down to think about it. "Jeez, of course they send the directionally challenge one." "Good morning Cruelty." "Morning, now back to thinking." He stared at the ground thinking extraordinarily hard. "Wait a second. Who just said good morning to me?" He looked up and to his right to see Rarity. "Might as well ask. Hey wait up." He said running to Rarity. "Yes." She said waiting for a response. Out of breath he said "Hold on, give me a sec." "Are you really that tired?" "I haven't run in one hundred years. I forgot how much I hate it. Anyways, where is the purple unicorns' house?" she stopped and stared at him for a second. "You forgot that quick?" "I'm directionally challenged ok." "It's the other way. On this exact road." She said holding in a laugh. "Okay. I can do this. Thanks." He turned around and held his head high. Walking straight forward. Not stopping. Except for the flowers he picked up for Flutter Shy. "Ok I made it. It took me a while, but I did it. God I'm awesome." He knocked on the door, but nothing happened. Then from inside he heard. "Spike who's at the door." "How should I know? I'm busy." "You can't even take a look?" "Busy." "I swear you are the most laziest dragon I know." "I'm the only dragon you know." "I've met other dragons before. Remember the dragon that was going to cover Equestria in smoke?" "He was sleeping though." "I know he was. Now go answer the door." "Fine." The young dragon opened the door. "Yes?" "Is this a bad time?" He said looking inside for Flutter Shy. "A little bit." "Spike who is it." "It's the colt from last night. What's your name?" He said looking at the white furred colt. "Cruelty." Spike turned around. "Cruelty." “Tell him to come up stairs." "Okay." Spike turned around "Got that?" The colt just stood there speechless. Reflecting on what just happened. "You know I thought I was Weird but I think you just topped me." "I what?" Spike said thrusting out his chest. "Calm down stud it was just a joke." Cruelty said walking inside of the library. "You live in a library?" Cruelty said looking around? "Yeah and? Where do you live?" Spike said giving him the look. "A coffee shop, ok valid point." He said as he started walking up stairs. At the top he found the purple unicorn lying on her bed. He stood there just to look at his surroundings. "Yes?" She said without even looking at him. "It's funny I don't even know your name. What is that again?" He said about to sit on the chair. "Twilight Sparkle." "Well then Twilight Sparkle I need you to help me." She looked at him and put the book down. "With?" "Girls." She started laughing. "No I'm serious." She stopped and looked at him and started walking closer. "You want help with girls?" She walked up to him. So close there lips were almost touching. "What kind of help." She said looking at him with eyes of lust. "With Flutter Shy." He said while she still gazed at him. Then she said, "Like?" Raising one eyebrow in curiosity. "What is she into, what does she like, what are her hobbies?" She looked at him with passion in her eyes then turned around. "Sorry can’t help you." He Stuttered "What? Why can't you help me?" He said confused. "Because maybe I want you?" "Sorry that's not going to happen. I find one pony and don't stray." "Loyalty eh?" She said looking back at him. "I like that in a colt." "What is wrong with you? You seem different than before." He started to look at the book she was reading. The label said, "Spells of love." Oh that's why. "Ok give me a second." He powered up his horn and did an anti-love spell that he learned from Magic a little while ago. Twilight fell face first to the ground. "God damn it. Again. Well I better do the same thing as before. ‘Spike can you get me a wet rag?’“ "Busy." He sighs "Well it was worth a shot." He grabbed a blanket and put her on the bed she was on before. "You know I should carry around spare blankets. This seems to happen more than usual." He thought as he put a blanket on her. "Alright, nailed it. Time to go." He walked downstairs to see spike making something. "She's unconscious for the moment. She'll be up in a while." Spike without turning around says. "Okay, whatever." Cruelty walked out the door. Spike sat there for a moment. "Wait what did he say?" "You know I feel like that could have gone better. Anyways, Flutter Shy. But how do I get there?" He thought as he saw Pinkie Pie. "There's a time in every colts life where he has to ask a overly happy pink pony where a tree is. Now's my time to shine." He walks over to Pinkie Pie and says, "Hey can you show me which way to go to get to Flutter Shy's house?" Nailed it Cruelty. You're a genius. "I can take you there. Come on." Nice now I even have someone with me so I don't get lost. That went better than expected. He followed the bouncing pony all the way around the town. Finally they got to the cottage. "You know I have a feeling that a third of that trip was pointless, but thanks anyways." "Don't mention it." She looked at him dead in the eyes and stopped bouncing. "Really don't mention this to anybody. Especially the reader." He stood there dumb struck. "What?" She started to bounce back to the town. "Bye." She said looking back. "What?" He stood there for a few minutes wondering what just happened. "...What?" He heard singing. "Okay whatever that was I will never speak of this again." He slowly turned around and started to follow where the singing was. "Where are you?" He finally stumbled across Flutter Shy. He found out it wasn't just her singing birds were also singing with her. He stood there for a moment. Admiring her singing voice. Then he Thought, "Great now I'm a stalker." He walked out from his little hiding spot and waited until she was done. "That was beautiful." She turned around startled. "Oh it's just you." "Yep just me and might I say that you look pretty today." "Thanks." She looked at the ground blushing. "I brought you flowers." He reached into his saddlebag and pulled out dried up lilies and dandelions. "Oh. I guess that tour was longer that expected. How is that even possible”? "They look great." She said walking up to him. She grabbed the dried up flowers from him. "But they are all dried up." He said confused. "It's not what they look like but what the purpose of them are." She said handing them to some birds that took them in the direction of her house. Then he thought, "Lucretia once told me that." He smiled for a second. "I never thanked you for last night." She said in a sweet tone. "Well I didn't have much of a choice now did I?" Then they just stood there staring into each other’s eyes. Until Cruelty said "Did...did you want to go out." She looked at the ground and blushed "Oh well I haven’t... well I haven't thought about it." He walked over to her and lifted her face to his. She started to breathe heavily. “Over the thousand years of living I have never met someone like you. There is nothing I would change about you. Until time ends I promise you this. No one will hurt you. Not with me around. No one…” Then he leaned in and kissed her. After what felt like hours she pulled back and said, "Where would you want to go?" Cruelty thought about it for a moment. "This upcoming Friday, there is a party in Canterlot for Princess Luna. It's her one-year anniversary of coming back from the moon. What do you say?" She blushes. After a moment looking into his eyes she leans in and says, "Yes." She then kisses him and Cruelty felt different. He felt something he never felt before. Not since Lucretia. He felt alive. That kiss lasted for eternity. At least he thought so. The rest of the night they went to a place with yellow flowers that matched Flutter Shy's skin, and they watched the stars...
The party 5All of the ponies stood there in silence with their jaws on the ground. “You two are what?” Twilight said after picking up her jaw. “Cruelty and I are going out. I just wanted to let you girls know.” They all picked up their jaws, and looked at her confused. Not even knowing what to say next. Then Cruelty walked up spike. “Looks like were going to be best friends.” He said grinning at spike. The girls huddled around Flutter Shy. “Flutter Shy are you Sure?” Said Rarity. “You barley meet him and now you want a relationship?” “I don’t know what it is about him. But he’s a nice guy.” Rainbow Dash pointed at her “He’s an element of Disharmony. He’s evil.” “I can change him. First off has he ever hurt you?” “He threatened all of us.” “When?” “When he brought you here.” “But did he hurt you?” Rainbow Dash took a step back. “Well no.” “And isn’t he suppose to be evil?” “Yeah.” “Then why didn’t he hurt you?” Flutter Shy took a step towards her. “Ok. Fine. Maybe he’s not evil, but he certainly not nice.” “What were saying is,” Twilight said stepping between them, “You should think about it more. Maybe he is using you.” “For?” Twilight stopped for a second. “I don’t know.” A big bang happened out nowhere. Then confetti started to fall down. “This calls for a party!” Screamed Pinkie. “I’m going to get it started.” “Pinkie what’s a party?” Cruelty said looking at her. She stopped bouncing and looked at him dead in the eyes. “You don’t know what a party is?” Cruelty felt like he should have kept his mouth shut. “No what is it?” “A party is a thing pony’s do when they want to celebrate something. Often said by solders, this is my party. There are many like it but this one is mine. Without my party I am useless. My party without me my party is useless. Now take that and process It.” everyone stood there for a moment to process it. “Now, Cruelty I’m taking you with me since you asked you are going to take orders from me to help everyone else prep for the party.” “Ok.” Him and pinkie were walking out the door. Cruelty turned around mouthing “Help me.” Then the door shut. “Okay pinkie where are we going?” He said accepting his fate. “To get some cupcakes.” She said not even noticing Cruelty already slipped away and was heading back to Twilights house. “Okay lets not speak when not spoken to.” As he was walking up to the house Rarity walked by. “Hi Rarity.” “Hello Cruelty. Hey can you help me with unloading some stuff?” “What kind of Stuff?” he said as he turned around and started walking with her. “Just some fabric I had imported.” “Why not?” He said as rarity giggled The car pulled up right by them. “Ok” Rarity said pulling out a note pad and a pen. “Lets see what we have here.” The trunk popped open and Cruelty got out the first and biggest roll of cloth. Rarity checked something on the paper “Yes ok.” Cruelty went and put it inside on one of the pedestals. Then he came back out and did the same to the next one. About fifteen rolls later the car drove of and him and rarity went inside. “Those rolls were heavier than expected,” Cruelty said taking the cold drink from Rarity. “Thanks.” “No thank you, Cruelty. I don’t know how I would have managed that.” “Aren’t you a unicorn? Why wouldn’t you just levitate it in?” “I’m not use to carrying something that heavy.” Rarity sat down across from him. “Anyways, Cruelty how much did you want?” “Of what? Money? None, just helping a friend.” “Alright well if you need anything come tell me, okay?” Rarity looked at Cruelty waiting for a response. “Thank you Rarity. I like you. Me and you are going to be good friends.” Rarity smiled. “Yes we are. Now I think Rainbow Dash needed some help.” ”Okay. I’ll go talk to her about that.” He started walking out of the door. “Thanks Rarity.” “No problem” Cruelty outside felt like it was really dark. “It’s not night time? It’s like twelve.” “Yes it is. Now can you help me somehow these clouds have been at it all day.” Said Rainbow Dash soaring out of the sky and landing next to him. Oh wait you’re a unicorn. “Well so much for that.” “Oh yeah.” Cruelty said as she started to fly. “Watch this.” His horn started to brighten. His long silver like hair was flowing upward as the ground started to show a dark purple pentagram on the ground. Glowing bright as it pours out a black smoke. From his back two bones then bursts out from his back vertically. Then it sprung out four bones on the side, still with some flesh on them joined together to make wings. “What was that about all for nothing?” Rainbow Dash stopped in midair and then fainted from awesomeness. “You know what. I brought a spare blanket this time.” He walked over and set it down on her. “Now’s my time to shine.” Cruelty flew up into the air and shot in a straightforward bolt. When he reached the end he turned around into a different path of clouds this time expanding his wings fully out. Taking out five in a row. He felt like if he did this it would take all day. He flew up for a minute. Then he flung himself like a dart to the bulls’ eye. Not stopping, and as soon as he hit the clouds he let out a sonic boom. Instead of it being rainbow it was a dark red that hung in the air for a couple of minutes. It pulsed every now and again and then it faded away. Cruelty landed near Rainbow Dash and put his wings back into his skin. “There now I have helped you. No need to thank me.” “Wow, Cruelty. How did you do that?” “I have lived for over one thousand years. I’ve done my research.” He then grabbed the blanket from Rainbow Dash and put it back in his saddlebag. “I knew that would come in handy.” Apple Jack walked up to him. Amazed at what she just witnessed “Wow. I’ve never seen that before.” “Well I do practice. I’m the best out of the six of us.” “Well ah sure would like some help.” “Sure I’ll help. What else do I have to do today?” Him and Apple Jack started walking. Cruelty and Apple Jack got back to her barn. “Okay I’ve been haven’ some problems with birds. No matter what I do they come back. Can you help me with that?” Cruelty thought about how to solve the problem. He could a kill them, or b Scare them so they never come back. He couldn’t decide so he asked Apple Jack. “I don’t know. I’d rather scare them…” “Scare them it is. ” Cruelty started up his horn. “Stand back Apple Jack.” The sky slowly turned black with thunder here and there. The wind started picking up and Crueltys’ face began to turn into a purple mist, as did the area around him. In the clouds his face pierced the souls of all of the animals, Apple Jack included. Thunder started to hit the ground. Around two to three per second. Which had no need for when the first one hit, all of the birds flew away. Cruelty felt like that was enough. He began to recede his face into the clouds. The smoke stopped appearing and the clouds slowly started to fade away. “Well, Apple Jack. I did a mighty fine job don’t you think?” He looked around for her. “Hello? Man I hope I didn’t scare her off. Well I have now made friends with everyone. Time to head back.”
The rescue 7Cruelty put the sphere on the table in the middle of the room. He thought about what he did. How could he turn his new friends in? Then he realized it’s not to late. Magic put the sphere on the table in the middle of the room. “Now to have some fun.” His white ethereal started to fade away and he turned into a black smoke and went into the orb himself. Twilight opened her eyes and looked around to see nothing but blackness. “Hello? Is anyone there?” Twilight powered up her horn for a light. “That won’t help you here.” A voice called out. “Who’s there?” Twilight said looking around. “Me. The opposite of you.” A big demon looking face appeared out of the shadows. “So what element are you?” “Magic.” “That’s not possible. There can’t be two elements of magic” “You know there are different kinds of magic.” Cruelty put his hoof on the orb. “Flutter Shy.” As his hoof retreated from the sphere Flutter Shy started to follow right behind it. “Flutter Shy!” She fell on the floor unconscious. He got the blanket off of the table and put it on her. “I’ll be back.” Cruelty stood up and walked out the door. Cruelty looked around wondering which door was Rarity in. He heard a scream from the right and ran into the room. It was rarity on a torture desk with a knife from Greed about to cut into her stomach. Cruelty lifted a knife off of the table and threw it at greed with one swift movement. Greed moved back and then flew onto the ceiling and darted right at Cruelty. He moved to the side before greed got to him. He then grabbed Greeds wing and threw him into the ground. Cruelty grabbed the orb from his saddlebag, but was to late and was hit in the knee making him fall to the ground and dropping the orb. He kicked greed across the room and grabbed the orb off of the ground. Greed was right there to swing at cruelty. In a sudden motion Cruelty ducked and forced the orb right inside of Greeds heart. Greed unable to fight crashed through the door and hit the table in the middle of the center room. A trail of blood following him. Greed then grabbed the orb Rarity was in. He then walked over and let her free. Rarity leapt up and hugged him. “Oh darling I love you.” “I have to go get everyone else. Stay right here. Okay?” “Okay. Be safe.” Cruelty went out of the room to see that Depression and Lying there. “Hey there boys.” Cruelty brought out his wings and the battle began. Depression kicked a bucket on the ground at cruelty in which he hit to the ground, but Lying was right behind it. He used his wings to block the upcoming attack. And throw him into the air. In which on the ceiling threw himself at Depression. Depression then unsheathed sword and cut Cruelty on the side. Cruelty pierced Depression with his wing. Right after he used him as a pony shield as Lying charged at him. Lying hit depression and split his body in half with the force alone. Cruelty reached forward and grabbed him by the throat. Then he ripped it out. His lifeless body fell to the ground. He looked to the door where Rarity was “Get your friends out of here.” He then walked over to the door Rainbow Dash was in. “Betrayal.” “Cruelty. I knew this would happen.” He said as he took the knife and shoved it into Rainbow Dashes hoof. “Ah. You ass hole!” “Silence Bitch.” “Betrayal let her go.” Cruelty spread out his wings. “Or what good friend.” Betrayal said twisting the knife. “Or this.” Cruelty used the sword behind Betrayal and stabbed it through his heart. “Cruelty?” Betrayal hit the ground with one thud. “Goodbye big Brother.” Cruelty said looking away in disgust. “Okay Rainbow Dash, I got you.” He said letting her down on the ground. “Are you hurt other than your hoof?” She started crying from the pain. “Here,” he said powering up his horn, “This is a sedative and will also knock you out for a while.” He touched her on the head with his hoof and she passed out. He grabbed the cloth on the table and wrapped her hoof in it. ‘Now to go get Twilight.’ Cruelty barged in to see twilight with a knife up to her throat. “Don’t take a step forward, Cruelty. I have waited one thousand year for this moment and you will not stop me.” Cruelty stopped for a second. Then he heard the door open. “Cruelty?” He turned around to see Flutter Shy standing there with her wings spread out. Then they both turned and cracked backwards. “AAAHHhh…” She fell to the ground. Cruelty turned around looking at Magic. Cruelty began to become ethereal and black smoke went around him flowing upward. A purple glowing Pentagram appeared on the ground and started to rise. It stopped at his chest then rotated until it was straight upward. It went forward until it hit the top of his nose. Cruelties red glowing eyes locked eyes with Magics. Then the pentagram caved in until it became a knife. Then it lunged at magic hitting him dead on in his left eye. He fell to the ground. Twilight ran to Flutter Shy. Cruelty then turned around and leaned down and kissed Flutter Shy on the head. A pulse from that spot went through her body and healed everything. She looked up at him in his full form. White skin, Pure wings coated in black smoke, Dark red eyes. She smiled at him and he smiled back. Then he fainted.
Epilogue?“Knock, Knock?” Said Rarity as she walked into the changing room. “Hey, Rarity.” Cruelty said as he turned around smiling. “Wow” She said looking at him in his tuxedo that Rarity made herself. “You look great.” “Thanks for making this for me.” She walked over and fixed the bowtie that he had on. “It’s the least I could do since you saved me.” She looked at him. “You know, If Flutter Shy and you don’t work out. I’d be willing.” He stood there for a second. “Willing to what?” She leaned up to him. “That’s a Secret only you can find out.” She turned around and started walking out of her house. “Well come on, Let’s not keep her waiting.” “Coming.” He said running after her. Flutter Shy walked out of her house. Wearing a green dress that was also made by Rarity. It was made out of silk and she had a golden colored tiara, With Emeralds on it. “Wow Flutter Shy.” Twilight said in her dress that was a black silk and even had a spiral pattern, with amethysts along it. “I think you top me.” “You really think so?” she said blushing. “Yes I do.” She smiled at Flutter Shy “Well lets go meet the princess.” Flutter Shy followed her to where the royal wedding was held. The party was big. Pinkie was in charge. Octavia and DJ P0N-3 were pinned up in a Dubstep-Classical music showdown. The entire apple family was there selling everything apple like. The two girls just kept walking through the crowd. They finally got to the front of the place to see princess Luna and Celestia sitting on their throne. “Greetings Twilight Sparkle. We are most pleased to see thou.” “Hello, Luna. Are you enjoying yourself?” “We are.” Luna took a drink, “Now dear Flutter Shy where is your date? You said you had one didn’t you?” Flutter Shy took a step back. “Well he should be here.” The doors opened and the music battle stopped. Flutter Shy turned to see Cruelty. “Rarity” Cruelty whispered toward her “they’re staring at me.” “I know just start walking. I’ll be right behind you.” Cruelty and Rarity both took a step forward, and then another, everyone being dead silent the entire time. Cruelties heart was beating rapidly. “They’re still just looking.” He said leaning towards her. “It’s ok just keep walking.” They finally made it to the front. Where Flutter Shy was. “Hey beautiful.” Flutter Shy blushed and looked away. “So,” Celestia began “You are cruelty.” “Yes I am, and you are Celestia.” “Yes I am.” She looked at him for a while before saying. “You killed the other elements I heard. Is that true?” “Yes but,” He looked over at Flutter Shy “people still got hurt.” Celestia looked down at him. “Kneel.” “What?” He said confused “I want you to kneel.” Cruelty thought about it for a second. Then he dropped down. Celestia then lowered her head and put her horn on his right shoulder. “I here by declare you,” She touched his other shoulder with her horn. “The knight of Equestria.” He looked up at her. “You may rise.” With that said the place cheered. But the cheering slowly turned to panic when there was a large thud. “What’s going on?” Twilight said. Celestia and Luna rose out of their seats. “He’s back.”
Going out with a bangThe castle shakes. “Celestia,” Twilight said in a scared tone “Who is?” “Socrath.” The castle shakes again. “Who’s that?” Cruelty looked at Twilight “It’s my old master. He’s what we were trying to bring back.” “How do we stop him?” “The elements of harmony. Celestia do you have them?” Celestia commanded the guards to get them. “Okay,” Cruelty said, “This is what you need to do.” The castle started to rumble as half of the wall opened up. There outside of the castle was a giant red demon with, two horns, two blades, and around five hundred feet tall. Everyone started to slide towards the edge of the room where the hole was. Cruelty, Flutter Shy, and Twilight held onto the pillars. Almost everyone was thrown out. Luckily the wonder bolts were there and they brought them back into the castle. Then Flutter Shy started to slip. “Cruelty?” “You’ll be fine.” “I’m slipping.” Then she started to slide down to her death. “I got you.” Cruelty darted towards her with full force. He expelled his wings from his body. As soon as he grabbed her he dug his wing into the ground snapping it. “Cruelty.” She shrieked in fright. “You’re fine. I got you.” He said reassuring her. “They’re beautiful aren’t they?” “What are?” “The stars.” He said looking up. “Yeah they are.” She said looking up with him. Then she slipped “Cruelty I’m slipping.” “Do you trust me?” “Yes.” He looked at her and smiled then extended his wing and then he pulled his other wing out. Sending them into a free fall. Cruelty brings Flutter Shy close to him and wraps his wings around them. He hugged her. Holding her as tight as her could. “Cruelty.” They both hit the ground. Twilight looked over at Celestia who now has the elements of harmony. Twilight grabbed all of them and gave it to the other girls. Then she lets Flutter Shy’s slide off of the castle. “Cruelty are you ok?” Flutter Shy said as she got out of his wings. “Yeah. I’m fine. Are you?” He looked at her, and in that moment, she never looked so beautiful. “Yeah I’m alright.” “Okay time to go see Socrath.” “Wait. What about your wing.” He looked at it and noticed it was only hanging on by a vain. He then made his wings retreat into his body. “It will regenerate in my body. I’ll be back.” Then he took off as Flutter Shy’s necklace hit the ground behind her. Walking on the yellow stones. The red hews of the fire against the blue sky. Then in his path was an old friend but a new foe, Magic. “You can’t beat me Cruelty. There is no way.” “You will not leave this place alive today, Magic.” Cruelty started to unleash his wings. “Then so be it.” Magic did the same thing. Magic rushed at Cruelty in a dash leaving behind a black smoke trail. He grabbed Cruelty by the throat and squeezed it as hard as he could. Cruelty took his wing and stabbed Magic in the kidney, in which Cruelty put his legs on Magic and kicked upward, throwing Magic into the sky. Magic quickly regained his sense of direction and darted back down at him. Cruelty Flung himself at Magic with great force. The two collide in the air and start stabbing each other with their wings. They both landed on the ground and cruelty shot a ray of magic at his former friend, making Magic fly backwards into a building. Magic got up but was knocked from his spot by Cruelty. Cruelty stopped after they went through a few houses, leaving Magic with no air in his lungs. “We don’t have to do this.” Cruelty said yelling at Magic. “Yes we do. I have waited one thousand years for this moment and you are not going to ruin it for me.” Magic Charged at Cruelty, but cruelty stepped to the side and put out his wing in a spear formation. Magic rammed right into it. In which he now looked like a pig being grilled. Cruelty looked at Magic. “This is what you wanted? This is what you actually like?” Cruelty slid Magic off of his wing. “Your are pitiful thing to look at.” Cruelty walked over to where Flutter Shy’s house is and set his Saddlebag a note, and some of his hair on it. He then flew back to the Canterlot. There he found everyone there, even Flutter Shy. “Ready girls?” Twilight said as she powered up the elements. The girls were lifted into the air and a big blast of light went off. Everything was restored. Then they sent a powerful ray of light directly toward the demon that was right next to them. A portal to the other realm was open and the demon was sucked in. then Cruelty started to slide into it. “Cruelty?” Rarity said still in the air. “What’s going on?” “The portal sucks everything that was originally in the old times in. That counts as me.” “Cruelty?” Flutter Shy Said starting to cry. “Don’t cry Flutter Shy. I’ll always be there in your heart.” Cruelty slowly progressed toward the portal. “Twilight?” Rarity said “Can’t we stop this?” “No. I tried already. It’s waiting for Cruelty.” “Flutter Shy look at me.” Cruelty said as it was getting harder to hold on. “You are the most beautiful pony I’ve ever met. Even though we only spent a little bit of time together. It was the best I’ve had in my entire life.” “NO!” Flutter Shy screamed. “There has to be some way.” “I wish there was sweetie, but I have to go. I love you.” “I love you too.” Then Cruelty stopped holding on and went into the portal.
The real party starts 6"Tomorrow huh?" Twilight said looking at Flutter Shy wondering the best approach was going on a date with him. "Oh yes. Twilight he's so romantic. Him and me watched the stars together and then he walked me home. He's even good with Angel." She paused for a moment. Let out a deep sigh then looked at Twilight. Then Twilight said "Is he really that sweet?" since she knew what he has done just from his journal. "Yes. It's hard to believe that he's an Element of Disharmony. Do we really need to fight him?” She said looking at Twilight like a lost puppy. "Yes, if we have to. We'll try not to." Flutter Shy put down the hot tea and walked down stairs. "Good night Twilight." Twilight smiled. "Good night." Twilight was still uncertain about the other elements. "There's no way he's nice.” She thought about it for a second, “Well he did help me." She cuddled up to the pillow. "It’s just not possible." "Cruelty it's been days." Said Betrayal with blood shot eyes. "Correction, it's been one day and why are your eyes red?" Cruelty shut the door and put his saddlebag on the ground. "Well, over the days I realized. Coffee is really good." "Congratulations " “I haven’t been able to sleep at night though.” “I bet you haven’t.” “Any ideas why?” He looked up at the red-eyed Pegasus “No.” Cruelty then walked over to Magic. Who looked like had some orbs. “So you finally got some balls?” “Oh shut the hell up and look at these.” Magic took out the spheres and put them on the table. The spheres were pouring out black smoke, even though it had a solid form. “What are these?” he said looking at magic in curiosity. “Have you played any of the Elder Colts games?” “Yeah why.” “Think of these as soul gems.” He said gazing at them. “But unlike the soul gems the pony or colt trapped doesn’t need to die.” Cruelty stood there staring at the orbs. Depression walked up to the table. “I like them a lot. Easy concept. Nicely flowing smoke. What’s there not to like?” “No one is talking to you Depression.” Cruelty said looking at him. “Yeah I am.” “No your not. Now go sit down.” “No I can stay here if I want to ass hat.” “At least I have more friends than you.” Depression looked down at the ground and slowly walked back to the corner. “Now back to business.” Said Magic looking back at the orbs. “Another neat trick about these is that you can release people after.” Cruelty looked at them for a moment “So where did you get them?” “The home evil.” “Well how do they work?” Magic looked over at him with grin from cheek to cheek. “We just need a sample of their DNA. Like a piece of hair or saliva.” Magic looked back at the orbs. “Then you just put it on top and bob’s your uncle.” “So how are you going to get the samples?” Cruelty said. “I sent Greed and Lying to get them. Unlike you they should be back in a few minutes.” “Okay then where do we go from there?” They heard a knock at the door. “What’s the password?” Betrayal asked in a deep tone. “Password.” Said a voice from beyond the door. Magic smiled and looked over to Cruelty. “I thought of that one myself.” Betrayal opened the door to see Greed the Blood red colt and Lying the Dark blue Colt with manes resembling the others skin. “I got the samples.” Said greed holding up hair from each of the girls. “And I got the elements of harmony.” Lying said as he held up a box. “Great.” Magic rubbing his hoofs together, “Next time you aren’t going Cruelty.” Magic turned around and picked up the Spheres. “Now let’s get the real party started.” Magic turned around and everyone stood up. “We have waited for one thousand years for this moment. We will take earth back for the dark one, Socrath, but before we do that we need to kill the main enemies. The elements of harmony.” Greed walked over to magic and gave him the samples. “Everyone will take there opposite element.” Magic tossed everyone his own sphere. Then he handed everyone there opposite element samples. “How you get them out is you put your hoof on it and just say their name.” Everyone nodded then put the samples on the sphere. One after another the elements of harmony showed up. First Rainbow Dash was first. Then Apple Jack, Pinkie Pie, and Twilight. Cruelty thought about what he had just done. The only friends he had were now trapped. Rarity then showed up. Cruelty shed one single tear. Then Flutter Shy showed up in the orb in front of him. “Now,” Magic said smiling. “Everyone pick a room and start the torture.” Cruelty saw all of his friends go into the rooms. He turned around and went into his room. Thinking about how he was going to save them.
The actual Epilogue"Ok Flutter Shy are you ready?" Twilight asked not certain this was going to work. She put the orb on the ground with the hair above it. "Yes, Twilight" She said nodding. "Okay lets give it a shot." she set the hair on it. A familiar face showed up. Twilight put her hoof on it and said "Cruelty."
