'Up Yours, So Edgy' - Chap. 3 -

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        Hey guys. I am always thinking of ways to update this and am not ded. If it takes a while for me to get a new chapter out, it is because real life shit is happening. Honestly, what would give me the most motivation to keep going is knowing what you all think of about the chapters. So, while there is no comment box (to my knowledge) on the Pastebin I am posting this on, feel free to email me with all of you concerns, feedback, fanmail, hatemail, etc. I swear, I will read all of it.

 

        Contact: [email protected]

 

        Thank you for following the series and feel free to share any thoughts about it that you may have. I will likely contact you back with what I thought about what you thought. Example: Don't like the way the story is headed and can't be patient enough for me to either save/train-wreck my own story? Feel free to write to me and tell me how much of a fucking failure of writer I am and how I should quit trying. I will read that and consider how to respond carefully, whilst I slit my wrists and listen to edgy music like Linkin Park and Three Days Grace.

 

        But nonetheless. Thank you for reading and I hope you will enjoy.

*THUMP*

>You flip up after a hard bump on your head disrupts your sleep

"Holy shit! I am awake!"

>Sitting up now, your eyes open completely and adjust to the bright sun now above your head

>You look around for a second trying to find what the heck just woke you up

>Next to you lays a green tortoise with goggles and a broken rotor on its back trying to get back onto its front side

>'Ah shit, is this Tank?', you think

>You smile at the little guy and roll him over back onto his stomach

"Well good morning Tank. You sure startled me with your morning greeting."

>You think for a second

"Actually, this would be our first time meeting each other..."

>You pat him on the head and give him a proper introduction

"Hello there Tank. I am Anon, your new neighbor. I hope we can get along."

>The tortoise stares up to you, as if it kinda understands what is happening, before grabbing your finger with his mouth and shaking it up and down

>You chuckle as you notice this gesture is similar to a handshake, but from a creature without hands

>'Well shit... He understands me I think. What a smart turtle.'

>You get up, brush yourself off of grass and dirt, and have a good long stretch to get you all good and proper for the day ahead

>A feeling of dread immediately overtakes you as you look down and see your shirt and pants covered in chicken blood, remembering the events of the night before

"Fuuuuuuuck... I forgot all about this. Oh man... How am I going to explain myself to the townsfolk? How am I going to face Fluttershy?"

>You sigh in annoyance, realizing that today is going to be a very long one filled with apologies and explanations

>Tank is able to sense your lack of comfort and negative emotions

>He slowly walks over to your pant leg while you are holding your head in dread and fear of what the ponies you want to befriend are going to think of you and how scary it will be to apologize to Fluttershy for killing one of her pets

>You stop flipping out as much as you were once you feel a little rubbing sensation on the bottom of your right leg

>It is Tank. He is giving you a little rub with his head, the same way you would expect a cat or dog to

>You lean down and pet the back of his neck and say in a soft mellow tone

"D'awww, thanks Tank. You truly are best turtle in Equestria."

>You feel a tap on the back of your left shoulder and hear a female tomboy-ish sounding voice say

"He's actually a tortoise, you sicko."

>That voice... You know it well

"Rainbow Da...?"

>You turn around uttering those first few syllables, but then immediately get your lights knocked out by a blue pegasus hoof hooking you straight across your jaw

>As your conscious fades you see the enraged face of the blue pegasus; and wow is it scary

>The world around you goes completely black and you can't move

>Still unable to move, you sit there as the blackness of the current void you are trapped within starts to shift slightly, creating different shades of black swirling around you

>This feels like a dream... a bad one

>A voice echoes around you inside of this abyss

>"As soon as you wake up you go back to sleep? Now those aren't healthy sleeping habits you seem to have, Anon. Ahahahahaa~"

>The voice is Discord's. He is obviously mocking you, but you don't have the energy to even try and make a rebut

>A sudden light envelops your vision and you are awoken again, surrounded by ponies whose identities' are blurred by your bad vision from coming back into consciousness

>Your jaw is sore and achy, it feels like the muscles in it are either torn or badly bruised

>You try to move, but feel yourself strapped down to something

"What the? Where am I? Where's Tank?"

>You mutter in confusion, not understanding anything going on right now

>Through your currently returning to conscience ears, you hear a voice you can't yet identify speak

>"You didn't have to knock it out like that. We don't know how strong or fragile its body is yet. You could have given it a concussion with that punch."

>A second voice scowls angrily and says, clearly unhappy with the criticism

>"Well you told me to go and get it. I got it. I mean, do you really think that it deserves compassion or mercy anyways? Did you see how Fluttershy was when she came back? I have never seen her that afraid before, not even around Dragons. That THING did something horrible to her, I know it."

>The first voice sighs and gives a dismissive tone

>"Well, I guess that could be the case, but please be more careful next time. Princess Celestia wants it unharmed."

>Fully awake again, though still a little woozy, you see Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash in the room speaking to each other with their backs turned to you

>You are strapped to the wall in the main room of the library

>Welp, you are finally inside of the library like you originally wanted, but maybe not under the circumstances you would favor

>Afraid of what the ponies are thinking of you which caused them to knock you out and strap you to the wall in the library you decide to speak out and try to explain yourself

"H-Hey. Urrr... Good morning ladies."

>Both of the ponies jump as soon as you speak then turn around and look at you

>Twilight is giving you a slightly startled look for a second, then switches to a guise of interest and curiosity

>Rainbow Dash doesn't even seem too startled when she turns around, but instead gives you look which you think could burn your very soul, with the hatred it is full of, if you looked at it too long

"Yeah... So... I don't know what you ladies are thinking I did, but let me assure you it is probably not as bad as you think it is."

>Rainbow Dash charges towards you and knocks you across the head extremely hard with her hoof, causing you to go dizzy for a second and your ears to start bleeding

"OW! MOTHER OF FUCK!"

>Holy cow! This horse hits hard like you would expect one from your world to

>"DON'T YOU LIE! YOU DON'T GO AND HURT MY FRIEND LIKE THAT YOU DISGUSTING... THING!"

>The blue pegasus is restrained immediately and pushed back by a purple magic

>"Rainbow Dash! That is enough!"

>You panic with the sudden immense pain coursing through your head

"I swear! I didn't do anything wrong!"

>Remembering the chicken slaughter you did last night, you amend your previous statement

"Or.. not on purpose anyways."

>The magic slips and Dash gets free to land another hook in the same place she just did

>This time your ears are not the only things that start bleeding, the impact causes your nose to start gushing blood and the spot where she hit has a decent sized cut

"AHHH! WHY?! PLEASE STOP!"

>Twilight regains control of her magic and screams

>"Dash! I said control yourself!"

>Rainbow Dash looks at you, completely enraged, and starts screaming with tears forming, which are running down her face

>"I DON'T CARE IF YOU DID IT ON PURPOSE OR NOT! WHATEVER YOU DID... WHATEVER YOU DID!"

>Rainbow Dash starts sniffling and wiping her eyes, trying to get a control of her sobbing

>"W-WHATEVER YOU DID MADE IT SO THAT FLUTTERSHY HAS BEEN HOLED UP IN HER HOUSE AND REFUSING TO SPEAK TO ANYONE! I CAN HEAR HER CRYING FROM OUTSIDE HER HOME!"

>Rainbow Dash gets free from Twilight's magic and goes in to hit you again

>You cringe and brace your face for impact

>"I SAID ENOUGH!", Twilight screams as she uses her magic to fling Dash backwards against the wall

>Twilight looks positively enraged for a few seconds, before regaining her composure and walking over to Dash, who is now pinned up against the wall with Twilight's magic

>"Rainbow Dash, you are a valuable friend of mine that I don't want to have to harm in any way, but you either need to control yourself or get out. I am upset about whatever this creature did that made Fluttershy act the way she is, but brutally beating on it will not fix anything. The first thing we have to do is find out what it did and follow the Princess's orders."

>Rainbow Dash scowls for a second, then looks down to the side

>"Fine, Twilight. I won't hit it anymore, but if I find out that it did something unforgivable to Fluttershy, I will not let it off so easy."

>Twilight smiles at her friend and releases her magic

>"I know. You are a good friend to all of us like that. Just please don't harm it any further. With the way it is strapped up you are just beating up a, seemingly, defenseless creature."

>Twilight walks over to you, smile completely gone and instead replaced with a grim, but calm, visage

>Bruised and bloody from the two hits the athletic pegasus delivered you, you look at Twilight with a pleading look, as if you were asking her to just let you go already

>Twilight ignores the plea and starts her interrogation

>"So. First thing is first, what is your name?"

>Not wanting to make any witty quip or do anything to insight the rage of Dash, you answer very straightly

"My name is Anon."

>"Alright, well nice to meet you Anon. My name is Twilight Sparkle, I am the newly appointed Princess of Ponyville, or at least until I get reappointed."

"I know that, Twilight. And that mare over there is the Pegasus Rainbow Dash, the element of loyalty."

>Twilight looks callously at you, as if you had said something she was not happy to hear

>"Yes... A quick second question. How much you know about the elements of harmony and how you do you know what you know?"

>You laugh for a second, knowing how crazy you are probably about to sound

"Well, Princess Twilight Sparkle, I know all about you since you came to Ponyville and about the adventures of the elements of harmony, also known as The Mane Six. I know about your adventure to the Crystal Kingdom, I know how you defeated Chrysalis, I watched you turn Discord into an ally. I know all about you and much about other ponies in Ponyville."

>Twilight looks at you, with a slightly hostile demeanor

>"And how exactly did you 'watch' us? How much power do you actually have?"

>Here comes the part where you know they are going to think you are crazy

"I watched you through my computer... You guys are a television show, or at least in my universe you are."

>Twilight's look turns into one of disbelief mixed with curiosity

>"Your universe? Television?"

"I have much explaining to do if you want to hear the full story..."

>Twilight thinks for a second and then shakes her head in disapproval

>"I think you should save the story for Princess Celestia."

>You immediately perk up

"P-Princess Celestia? I am going to see her?"

>Twilight levitates a scroll over to her and says

>"Not just you, Anon. We are all going. It is orders from the Princess herself. We can hear your story when you are in the presence of Celestia, so that she can also hear it."

>Celestia was the one who told the ponies not to give you shelter in the first place. You don't know whether or not seeing her would actually be to your benefit

"When we get there, what exactly will happen?"

>Twilight puts the scroll back on the table and shakes her head sadly

>"Well, once we get to Celestia's castle we will have an audience with her, in which you will tell her your story. From there she will decide your fate."

"My fate?"

>Twilight repeats the sad motion she made previously

>"Yes. Whatever happens to you will be completely up to her. You may be acquitted, given a place to live, and government aid. Or you may be put to death or turned to stone for eternity."

>That last part catches your full attention

"Hang on.. Put to death? Turned to stone? Why?!"

>Twilight looks at you and says

>"Because you may prove to be a threat to all of pony-kind or may incite fear and riot amongst the pony populace with your presence. You are an unknown. Most ponies tend to not trust the unknown, especially with all of the horrors that exist around the world. To be completely honest Anon, just with what you seem to have already done to Fluttershy, your odds are currently not looking too good. Whatever you did to her, the Element of Kindness, has caused her fear and despair that has actually caused Specters to try and assail her house to feed on the negative energy produced. I will be honest, the princess and us, the close friends of Fluttershy, are not extremely happy about this at all."

>You start to freak out while imagining all of the worst case scenarios and wondering how this is could be happening to you. Being executed for existing is something you never even imagined could ever happen to you

"Hang on! No seriously. I may be put to death?!"

>Twilight nods her head and replies, trying to calm the noticeably anxious you while doing well to contain her own anger towards you

>"...Or turned to stone. BUT those are only some scenarios that could happen. Nothing is written in stone about you yet."

>Dash continues scowling at you as you start flipping-out, extremely afraid of your possible upcoming demise

>Twilight easily picks up on your ever-growing fear and tries again to reassure you

>"Well even if you are turned to stone, you will not be dead necessarily. You will still be able to see and hear everything around you."

>That sentence does the opposite of reassuring you

"H-Hang on! So I may be put to death or placed in solitary confinement for all of eternity?! How is that fair?! What did I do to deserve it?"

>You start to flip out even harder and nearly start crying as you struggle to get out of your bindings

>Twilight flinches and jumps backwards as she sees your violent struggling

>"Anon, you aren't going to break the holdings of my magic enchanted bindings, please stop before you hurt yourself. We are going to be bringing you to Princess Celestia in a few minutes. Please just calm yourself."

>You continue to struggle and try to break Twilight's hold on your body

>The biggest fear you have, even past death, is being stuck in a state of forced inactivity for all of time. You were not going to just sit back let that happen to you

>Twilight starts to get angry at you for not listening to her

>"I SAID STOP STRUGGLING!"

>She tightens the restraint bands with her magic, to the point where your body was in actual pain just from the tightness of the bindings

>You weren't going to stop though. You felt that the ordeal with Fluttershy and the chicken had already sealed your fate. There was no saving you. Once the ponies found out the full story of what you did to Fluttershy's pet you would be sentenced to death; OR WORSE.

>You felt like you were just waiting on the chopping block for the guillotine to come down. You were freaking the ever living fuck out and nothing Twilight said could stop you from doing everything in your power to try and escape

>Remembering that you had a little ace in the hole stored away to get you out of a situation like this, you start screaming desperately

"DISCORD! HELP DISCORD! HELP! HEEEEEELP~!"

>You continue to scream that as Twilight starts to get extremely nervous and starts looking around frantically

>The other Elements of Harmony, minus Fluttershy, burst through the door

>Applejack yells to Twilight

>"Are y'all alright in here? Did that thing cast some sort of voodoo magic on y'all?"

>Dash decides to take action to stop the worst case scenario from happening

>She goes over and starts beating on your face to try and shut you up, but you refuse to stop screaming

>"WILL!... YOU!... JUST!... SHUT!... UP?!"

>After a countless amount of punches, Rarity pushes Dash out of the way and fills your mouth with a yarn ball and tape

"MMMMMF! MMMMMMF!!!"

>Rarity looks over at Dash with a look of minor annoyance

>"My goodness darling, you should think a little before acting. Now this thing's face is nearly unrecognizable to what it looked like when you first brought it here. I cannot imagine Celestia will be too happy seeing her guest of honor looking like the byproduct of a griffon chef's failed meal."

>With the yarn ball in your mouth and a seriously messed up face, you stop screaming and are instead uncontrollably sobbing

>The ponies start to calm down and Twilight turns to Dash

>She is about to scold her, when a sudden laughing similar to the one you heard in your room before coming to Equestria starts to fill the library

"DSCWRD?!"

>You try to mutter out while yarn-ball-gagged

>Discord shows up next to you on a chair made of some of the library's books, clapping

>"Bravo! Bravo ponies! Such drama! Such action! Encore! Encore!"

>Twilight immediately turns and scowls at him while slowly backing up defensively

>"Discord... You better not try anything funny or else.."

>Discord starts laughing, then replies

>"Or else what? It seems you are down an Element of Harmony. Right now you couldn't do anything to me. Though I must applaud your war-face, it really has gotten more intimidating since our last confrontation."

>Twilight starts to sweat and panic as she understands that they are virtually powerless against Discord at the moment

>You start trying to struggle again and yell for Discord, but your lack of strength and wooziness from the massive punishment Rainbow Dash had just given your face keeps you from doing so

>Discord appears next to you and holds onto your face like one would when pinching a baby's face

>"Wow, you sure did a number on him. Anon, you have an even funnier face than I could ever try to make. Ahahahaha~!"

>You would normally feel extreme anger with a hint of hatred towards the draconicus for his mocking of you while you were so hurt, but right now all you can manage to do is look at him pathetically whilst letting Discord support the weight of your head with his hand

>Twilight shoots a magic blast at Discord, trying to keep him away from you; Discord just turns the magic blast into a giant Popsicle and eats it

>"Discord, get away from that thing. He is to meet with the princess and I won't let you harm him before we get him to the castle."

>Discord just breaks out laughing, teleports next to Twilight, shoves the magic Popsicle in her mouth, then tells her in a deep humorous tone

>"Harm him? On the contraire, I am going to be protecting him from such violent ponies that would harm him..."

>He then points at Rainbow Dash and finishes his sentence with a big smile on his face

>"Such as you."

>As soon as Twilight tries to blast him away from her again, he appears next to you and strokes your head

>"Oh poor Anon. All he wanted was love and acceptance from ponies who are supposed to be the embodiment of it..."

>Discord's face suddenly twists into one of annoyance and anger

>"But instead you hurt him. You put him through unnecessary pain, refused to accept him for who he is, and even try to punish him unjustly."

>He turns his angry scowl at the ponies, which makes them gasp and cower in fear

>Realizing that he has broken his 'oh-so-pleasant' demure, Discord calms himself and gives a neutral tone towards the ponies

>"Oh no. I will not let Celestia see this one. Not yet."

>Discord continues to look at the ponies and lifts your badly maimed face by the side of your cheek and chin with his left hand

>"No. This one is mine. I will give her another one in due time, but this one now shares a little of my pain. I have big plans for him."

>Your face starts draining of color and your start to slowly lose consciousness from pain and blood loss

>Fighting to keep yourself conscious, the last thing you see before passing out is Discord's face coming very close to yours, smiling a malevolent smile, saying to you and the ponies

>"Yes... Big plans indeed."

>You feel a quick tug on your body as your vision blurs, feeling as if you were quickly pulled through a windy hole in the wall

>The pain you are feeling goes away as sweet sleep embraces you once again
