Loss of a friend: Prologue

Full description

Princess Celestia's best friends. That all changes when Celestia lies to Gab. Feeling betrayed, Gab left, not to return until not long ago. After taking over a few villages singlehandedly, he started to expand his rule. The princess took action and tried to defeat Gab with the Elements, but it failed! Soon realizing why, Celestia has no other choice then to send Twilight and her friends. But what can they do against this mysterious foe when they are a pony short and all hope is lost. How will they defeat Gab who now calls himself: The Seventh?

Everypony who was an adult, was once a child. Millenniums ago, when Celestia was just a child, she didn't have many friends. In fact, she only had one: Gab. He was a blue Pegasus with white wings with blue and red tips. His brown eyes looked menacing from afar. Along his belly side, he had a red diamond where his heart would be, with roots coming under it the colour of light blue. He had a short blue tail with a red tip. This child already had his cutie mark, it was a light blue dragon fist, representing his will to fight, his inner strength and the purity within his heart. He had 3 spikes on the back of his neck as a mane the colour of blue, red and white (in order from top to bottom).

At this moment in time, the two were having a duel. Celestia would be using her magic while Gab would be using his unrivalled close combat. These duels happened once a week, and they weren't to hurt each other. Yet the two were so skilled, they could both go all out and leave without a scratch.

Putting both his front hooves on his sides to keep his balance, Gab got in his trademark stance waiting for the first attack to come. Celestia used her magic to turn invisible, Gab's reaction was to close his eyes and not move a Millimetre. He heard a noise behind him and back-flipped behind the sound and tried to send a swift axe kick towards the sound, only for it to be blocked by a magic shield also revealing his opponent.

This battle would last on for another half hour.

The sparring match was abruptly halted by Celestia's mother, she was saying things like: A soon to be princess does NOT have time for a pointless sparring match! You must prepare yourself and being along side *him* won't help you in the slightest!

After much argumentation, Celestia left saying she'd be back tomorrow to finish what was started.

* The next night, around midnight*

Celestia had to sneak out of her home to meet with Gab again. She told Gab that her mother was forcing her not to see him again. After much thinking, Gab looked at her with pleading eyes asking her "Will we still see each other?"

Celestia let out a heartwarming laugh " We will always be together, no matter what!

*8 months later*

Celestia has been named princess and ruler to be of Equestria. Gab was alone as he had always lived in a wooden shack in the middle of the woods. From what Gab could recall, he'd only seen her 3 times since that night 8 months ago. That also means the celebration that she had about 2 days ago. He never got to speak with her though, she had left with some new "friends" she made. The next day he tried visiting her, only to see her kiss another boy on the cheek. His one true friend, his one true crush had fallen for a new boy she probably just met. Feeling betrayed Gab went over to the woods to his shack. He had locked the door and as time passed by, the door wasn't unlocked until about a century before present time (what happened will be revealed later). He got out of those woods only to find cities and villages which were ruled by princess Celestia. Spending millenniums within an old wooden shack had made him grow in strength and insanity. Only 24 hours after the shack door was unlocked, he had singlehandedly taken over 5 villages and was spreading his rule fast along the east of Equestria. Realizing this, Celestia and her army went to confront the threat, only for he army to fall in a mere minute. The princess had no other choice than too harness the powers of the Elements of Harmony, she attacked first, only for the power of the elements to fail her. Gab hadn't even tried to dodge the attack, yet when it hit, nothing happened. Celestia retreated after a few close calls with Gab's deadly Hooves.

After taking up a little more land Gab had stopped expanding. The attacks against him where frequent and even though he knew nothing could possibly stop him, he loved this bit of territory that was now his and didn't want it taken away like Celestia was millenniums ago.

It took Gab millenniums before being able to take any blow without flinching, but it only took him a couple of centuries to understand why and started to harness his newfound power. As for Celestia, it took her 99 years after her last battle against Gab to figure out why the elements had failed her. Sadly other things must have been taken care of first. Seeing her student Twilight Sparkle had the Element of magic within her, Celestia had sent the young girl and her assistant over to ponyville to find the other 5 Elements and defeat Nightmare Moon..

After a year of gaining wisdom, Celestia was about to send Princess Twilight and her friends on a new mission, one that would be hard and one which Celestia hoped that Twilight would not fail where she did. All Celestia could hope for was that Twilight and the others were ready to go up against the threat that was Gab! This would be her first attack against Ga... He didn't like being called his old name anymore, he now calls himself: The Seventh (this was a clue to why the original 6 elements failed BTW). Anyway it has been 20 years since she last attacked The Seventh.

AN: so what do think about that? After 6 months of agonizing writer's block, I am back with my pony OC Gab (who is by the way in his first story on FFN!). Now review and tell me how you felt this story went, any feedback is good. Tell me what I could improve on and what I might be missing. Chp 1 should be coming in about 7-14 days. The history of Gab will be uploaded after this story is over. For those who believe they know the answer to why the Elements failed, DON'T PUT IT IN YOUR REVIEW PLS. Keep it to yourself or send me PM. Don't ruin it for the other readers. Anywhoosers, tootles!
