"You were born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win."
-Zig Ziglar
It was kind of an odd case, it was like Gilda but worse, he just didn't change and they couldn't send him away like with her.
Pinkie? broken, unable to comprehend how could he not like parties, Fluttershy? horrified, easier to reform a chaotic being than that person, keep calm and get punched on. The rest? ALL don't like him and chances are they wouldn't after what happened in the party.
It's like Discord, but without magic and reality-bending powers, just rage, lots and lots of rage. What exactly was going on? How actually oculd it be? how come friendship and harmony gaven't made it dissapear yet? maybe because it was only friendship and without the harmoniy element.
Sparky would wake up, she had already sent a letter to Celly, Spike arrived that night and wrote it, but his reaction to everything?
Spike wasn't happy, but was less upset than the rest, he was in Rare's store, and heard about how Ross reacted to being teleported to Equestria, about how he attacked Sparky and punched FS repeated times, even being able to resist her stare, Sparky kind of expected his reaction to be worse, considering chances are Rare's the one who told him, but maybe the rest is another emotion, fear.
When Sparky wakes up, she would hear slight thuds and rolls, but then there was a loud thud, she would perk up and head over where the sound is.
When she gets there she would notice... Spike attacking Ross
"Get off me!" Ross would try to get him off
"Leave her books alone!" Spike would be trying to bite at him
"Spike! Stop!" Sparky would shout
"He was doing something to you books!"
"Reading them! Get off!"
"Spike!" She would use Telekinesis to pick him up and get him off Ross
"He grabbed your books! And he attacked Fluttershy! And-"
"I know that" She replied, keepin him somewhat close to her "But biting him isn't going to help anything, now, if you would, apologise and go help with the books on the other room, ok?" She would say, putting him down; Spike would walk past Ross, saying "Sorry" and getting to the other room
"Sorry for that" Sparky would say "Also, Good Morning!... Um, what were you doing with my books?"
"Reading them" Ross would kind of mumble
"What for?"
"Trying to find a way to go back home, it's not like I'm not going to do anything when I could try to find a way to return faster"
"So, you were researching? Interesting" She would muse "I already sent a letter to Celly, just wait for a respo-"*CRASH*
Something would crash into the window, making it break apart, along the debris would be a grey pegasus with a bag, Ross could recognize her too, if the facepalm and the "Not her please" are any indication.
"Delivery for Twilight Sparkle" the grey pegasus would say after standing up and picking a letter from the bag
"Thank you Derpy" Sparky would say, it would make Ross wince, Sparky would read the letter
"Hey! It's from the royalty! maybe it's something about how to get you back" She would open it and read "Dear Twilight Sparkle, I have received your report about how your mission went, this matter of his inability to befriend the townsfolk is concerning and I need you to come to the palace, today if possible, please bring Ross with you, and the other Elements of Harmony too. Love, Princess Celestia" She finished reading, slightly confused; she could see Ross sitting down too.
"So... She's just going to call for us instead of just send me back home?" Ross would ask, kind of annoyed
"We need to know what's going on first, better go now, I'll call the others, you... Just don't go away, I think I would just put them somewhere separate before we go... You know how angry they are" She would explain, Ross doesn't seem concerned, in fact, he would seem somewhat calm
"Ok..."
"Good! now, I'm just going to get them, ok?" with that, she would head out, Ross would seem to just go back for the books when she heads out
He reunion with her friends wouldn't exactly be nice, they're still angered, if not more than before, Rainbow Dash would be now almost completely infuriated, Applejack would now just show despise for Ross, Fluttershy's even more scared and Rarity prefers to not talk about him, why? Because of Pinkie's state, she's completely confused and broken in disbelief, her party's failure would seem to have been bad, "How can... He not like parties? How is it even possible?" would be things that Twilight thought could maybe shorten what broke Pinkie.
One the rest of her friends were on board, Sparky would go back to her home and call Spike and Ross to follow, the latter was still reading books.
When they get to the train they would run into a surprise
One of the wagons has been replaced with a single large wooden wagon with bars, and when they approach they would find several guards, Sparky would seem somewhat confused
"What's going on?" she would ask
"Orders from the royalty, he's to travel inside that wagon, separate from the rest" one of the guards would respond, it would seem as pre-emptive to avoid him from getting in trouble, Ross would just shrug and enter it, Sparky would notice Dash noticing him when he's entering, and getting up to try to find a way to get out the wagon, like struggling with Applejack to open the window, he gets in the wagon in time though. When Sparky enters the train...
"Get outta the way AJ!"
"Calm down Dash!" AJ would try to resist Dash from going over and opening the window
"I'm going to give that guy the biggest beating HE WOULD EVER GET!"
"Rainbow Dash calm down now!" Sparky would use telekinesis and tie Dash to the seat "You're not going to beat up anypony or anything, we got to meet up with the Princess and if you did, I'm not sure if even you could against him when he's angered enough"
"WHAT?!" Dash would yell, seemingly offended, before AJ distracts her away
Sparky would contemplate how things were, Pinkie wasn't being cheeful at all, it's like they weren't acting like her friends anymore
"Hm, thinks went downhill when that ruffian came here" Rare would say "Twilight dear, are you sure the task Princess Celestia gave you could even be up for you to do? I am not quite sure, but to break Pinkie like this wouldn't leave some questions about how difficult would be the work that would have to be done now?" She would ask, kind of concerned now.
"I'm not sure" Twilight would say, in a slightly frustrated tone "I've put a Psych catalizing helmet on him while he was asleep and... The rage I've heard him express was just immense, he seems only interested about getting home"
"That could explain his attitude" Rare would muse "But he should not be such an agressive brute, a shame the Princess didn't seem to just desire to let him be instead of bringing trouble to Equestria" She would muse, slightly concerned again.
The rest of the travel would be somewhat dull, they would take long until they arrive to the trainstation, the train would brake and guards would approach the box, using unicorns to lift it and put it on a cart, Sparky could only think about the movement, wondering about Ross' reaction.
When they're told to disembark, they would be told the royalty ordered a cart to carry them, as it seemed that they wished the matter to be off the public's knowledge. More traveling, dull traveling.
Once the arrive the palace, Sparky could notice Dash's agitation, she took a wild guess, she's waiting until Ross' out of the wagon and she's free to hit him as many times as she wants.
"Don't get any ideas Rainbow Dash, the princess askes for him"
Dash's response would just be a grumble and sitting down.
A guard would order Twilight to come out, when she does, she would notice Ross' being let out too, then they're lead to the palace's interior for a while, Ross would be surrounded by several guards, away from Sparky, and when they reach the inner area, they would finally meet the Princess
Before Sparky's able to speak though, Celly signals the guards surrounding Ross to a side chamber, Sparky catches her stern glare at him while he's sent.
The guards push Ross inside
"Wait, am I supposed to wa-" the door's closed while he spoke, with that, the princess returned to face Sparky.
"Twilight Sparkle, I've received your report, and I have to say that I am procupied, what happened? how is he unable to accept?"
"He's been only preocupied about going home, Pinkie held a party for him, but the townsfolk cheerfulness only irritate him" Sparky would mention, then would tell what happened in the party, and what seemed like his reasons to do so, her expression would grow to that of stern dissaproval
"So he's unable to accept our kind's culture and traditions, reacting violentely to it, nor can he accept the admiration it seems to produce in his world?" she would say, somewhat upset.
"Yes Princess" Twilight would say "He's been unable to like them, less so after knowing them"
"It'd better not be so, if he truly wants to be sent back home" She would see the door, then turn back to Sparky
"W-what?" Sparky woud ask, now confused
"He was captured so that he would remain here until he's no longer a diplomatic threat, his recent actions makes his situation worse, with our already negative views of him, possibly even worse"
"Wait, so... You're not. Sending him back?" Sparky would ask, now slightly concerned
"Absolutely not, until he learns to accept and stops hostilities to our kind he's to remain imprisoned" Celly would declare, shortly a thud is heard in the door
"Princess... If I may, it's the forced appearance of our kind that made him so angered" Sparky added
"What do you mean?"
Then, Sparky explained to her what she hear when she placed the Psych catalizer, and what happened, whith this, Celly narrowed her eyes.
"Guards! bring the prisoner" Celly exclaimed, seemingly barely containing her own anger, when they open the door, Ross would seem just as annoyed as before, despiste the door's thud. Celly gained a regal stance of authority
"Ross, I've been told that's your name" Celestia said in a loud tone
"Yes" Ross would say, with a slightly one in contrast
"Do you know the purpose of your presence in this world?"
"Yes, to try to make me not dislike you all even when you all ape-"
"Do you know the purpose of your presence in this palace?"
"No"
"Then be it known, that your presence in this palace is for me to inform you that by royal order you are to NOT return to your place of origin until you accept our kind's culture and traditions AND it's presence in your world"
"WHAT?!" the guards were now pointing their lances at him to keep him at bay
"Since your presence in your own world proves itself as a diplomatic threat, you are to remain in Equestria until you are willingly capable of befriend our kind and cease all hostilities, taken as in a rehabilitation status until further notice with an undefined deadline" Celestia finished the formal declaration
"WHAT THE-?!"
"Now, I've heard that your ire was not of considerable proportions, but expanded around your kind, we don't usually mind "haters", as they're known, but you? you're contagious, in a day alone your dislike spreaded out to a considerable amount of individuals, a diplomatic threat"
"Because your FREAKING BRONIES WERE BRINGING THEIR CRAP TO OUR SITE! WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN I CAN'T RETURN HOME?!" Ross yelled, angered, infuriated, mad, indignated, irritated, enraged, choleric, etc. Sparky would put this as his highest anger she's noticed, some guard demanded "language", but Celly remained as before
"And to add, I've been informed of your attacks to several of our kind, physical attacks against 3, 2 psychologically crippled" She took a menacing step, Sparky could almost see like if her horn were flaring "Sir, such attitude is unnacceptable, and in normal conditions would be guard's job to dispense punishment"
"THAT WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED IF YOU DIDN'T FUCKING GET ME HERE TO ANNOY ME! All of those should be expected! AND DO YOU EXPECT ME TO PLAY NICE WHEN YOU FUCKING TOOK ME AWAY FROM HOME!? GET THROUGHT YOUR HEADS THAT I HATE YOUR CRAP!
And you. Aren't. Changing. ANYTHING!" Ross would seem to explode so hard, even Celly's forced to stomp
"Is that you want to remain here permanently? You won't return until your stop that"
"TAKING ME AWAY IS JUST GOING TO MAKE IT WORSE FOR YOU! People would notice, the group formed because of the bronies, are you going to pick them all up as well?! MORE HATING! And if you get them taken away too, someothers could notice and start to blame the fans themselves! they would be blamed for haters gone, rejected for that and possibly even the memory would be disliked!"
Sparky was now just plain surprised and worried, Celly would take a step back, close her eyes, then tell the guards
"Guards, take the prisoner into the room and call over the Elements of Harmony" she says in a slightly more calm tone, and when he's placed in the room "It seems we would be forced to take more drastic measures" She adds.
Once the elements are there, Celly would pick up their Necklaces/Crown and give them out, Sparky would be pretty scared about this, the princess was being way too serious, she had to be really upset.
"The task proved itself to be more difficult than we initialy believed, I'm afraid we may have to recur to more drastic measures, once the door opens... You know what to do" Celly declared, Sparky would try to know what exactly was her intention, she put on her crown regardless
"Be ready, it needs to be done as soon the door opens" a guard would approach the door, then open it, Ross would seem for fall down as he was supporting on it
"Now!" she would yell... But nothing would happen with the elements
"What's the delay? I said now"
"They're not working" Sparky would inform, Ross would now just be trying to stand up
"Ah don't know what's goin on" AJ would say, putting off the necklace, shaking it, then trying again
"Well!" Dash would finally say "If it's not going to work, and these things aren't doing anything, then I'm doing this MY WAY!" she would put off the necklace and throw it at Sparky to catch it
"YOU'LL PAY NOW!" with that, she took flight and shot towards Ross
"Rainbow Dash! No! Stop!" Sparky would shout to try to stop her, but she would be already tackling Ross, who would be just recovering.
They would roll a bit until she stops it and tries to stay on top to try to hit him repeatedly
"HOW DARE YOU TOUCH FLUTTERSHY?!" She would hit him once, the other one would miss, but as she lifts her hoof for a third one she would feel a bludgeoning against her face
"LIKE THIS YOU PIECE OF SHIT!" Ross would yell, punching her face, then kicking her off him, he proceeds to grab her head, smash her against the ground, stomp on her, then kick. Sparky stops him though, by throwing another blunt object at him.
"STOP IT!" She would shout, now just plain taken aback, AJ would be about to charge in...
But Celly stompts once more
"Is that you desire to remain in petrification?!" She would shout in an even louder tone, now just plain scaring Twilight and surprising the others
"I've offered you the chance to cooperate and follow a more comfortable path, but it seems you are unwilling to do so, don't you realize I'm extending a mercy to you? to be freed from such wrath?"
"I DON'T WANT ANY OF YOUR CRAP! GET ME BACK HOME. NOW!" Ross would shout back, Celly would seem to lower a bit her head, close her eyes then open them
"Then it seems you want that ire, a shame considering your capabilities, but you leave me no choice" She woud declare "From now own you're to remain residenced on the wagon you were given as travel medium, until the time you're rehabilited and no longer a diplomatic threat; you are to NOT leave Ponyville unless royalty orders so, unless rehabilitation advances to such a level that he could be deemed as enable for such" Then she would turn to her guards "Guards, take him away from my presence" And with that, the guards would push Ross out of the room.
When he's away, AJ would rush over to RD, Sparky would remain close to Celly though, noticing the princess' sigh
"Princess... What is actually going on? Why is it so important to keep him from his home?" Sparky would ask
"His hatred, is not like Discord, it does not have his power but it's expansion's a threat" She would explain
"Yes, but-"
"Twilight, dear, while you may know what friendship is pretty strong, you need to know that he still can be dangerous, such as now, why did the Elements not work?"
Sparky would turn a bit, trying to think, but then her vision catches on AJ trying to help up Dash, she goes to try too
"C'mon Rainbow Dash Git up"
"Ow!" Dash would exclaim as AJ would try to get her up, Sparky would notice that she's pretty beat up, maybe comparable so to how he left Fluttershy? "That-... That jerk didn't..."
"Rainbow Dash calm down, you shouldn't have attacked him like that, actually didn't I tell you to stop?" Sparky would say, but Dash would just turn at her
"Like if I were to obey that! He punched her, I WON'T LET HIM GET AWAY LIKE THAT!" She yells in Sparky's face "HE'S GOING TO PAY FOR THAT, AND FOR THIS! He will regret ever doing that, I'LL WILL BEAT HIM UP TO PIECES UNTIL HE'S NOTHING BUT DUST AND YOU'RE NOT GOING TO STOP ME!" with that she just takes flight, and shoots towards the exit before Celly uses TK to stop her and pin her down onto the floor, where she flails and demands to be released to get him.
Sparky trots back to Celly, now seemingly horrified of what's going on.
"Princess... I think I understand now how did the Elements not work this time." She would say"His hatred... It's contagious, and seems to have done so now?" She would say, signalling towards Dash
"I think I do understand now, dear, with the elements corrupted with hatred, they couldn't work" Celly would mention, concern in her voice.
After the meeting's over, Sparky and her friends would be directed to the train, the wagon would seem now be in place, Dash would want to dive-attack it again, but she just stops after Sparky's horn glows once again. On the train, the travel would seem to wanr of becoming dull again, but then...
*BOOM*
"What the-!" AJ would exclaim as something exploded on a mountainside, right below them, close the Ross' wagon, a chunk of the mountain would break off and hit the railway, causing the train to shake and drop them all to the floor.
"What was that?" Sparky would ask "Why did that explode?"
"I am not sure why exactly did it" Rare would say "But it maybe could have been dangerous, considering how close it did" She would say, before musing "Strange"
The rest of the travel they would remain concerned, but nothing else would happen in the way, when they reach the rainyard during dusk the wagon would be taken towards Sparky's house and all would leave in their own way.
When Sparky arrives home, the wagon would be dropped right behind her house
"Wait, is he going to be right here?"
The guard would face her
"As by order, he's to stay in the town until rehabilitated"
"Ok..." She would just say before the guards themselves leave. She would just slowly approach the box, leaning towards it.
"I'm sorry" She would say, but as soon she does a quick movement inside goes really close to the window, making her to jump back
"SORRY?! FOR WHAT? BECAUSE THAT PIECE OF CRAP IN THE THRONE DIDN'T LET ME GO BACK?! AND THAT NOW I'M STUCK IN THIS PIECE OF SHIT WORLD AND IN THIS CRAPTOWN IN THIS BOX BECAUSE SHE'S THE HIGH BITCH THAT SAID SO AND WANTS ME TO KISS HER BOOTS?! WELL LET ME TELL YOU, BEING SORRY WON'T SENT ME BACK HOME!" Ross would now just yell in the box, so high that even the guards could apparently hear it, Sparky herself would just stand and back off, before stopping
"..About the books you were reading in the morning, do you want them?"
"Didn't you hear she's NOT LETTING ME GO AWAY?!
"Yeah but do you want to finish them at the very least?" Sparky would ask, a somewhat long pause
"Ok"
She would seek for Spike but find out he is right there, bitting the wodden wagon-cage, she would ask him to bring the books, he would go and when he's back with them she would give them to Ross through the window's bars, after that she would just say "goodbye", sigh and head back to her home, bur she's interrupted by Ross
"What happened in the way? something sounded like an explosion" Ross would ask with a mumble-like tone.
"I don't know, something exploded and a chunk of the mountain fell off" Sparky would mention, her tone still slightly low, as response she could only hear a grumble form inside, then, after that, she would just continue going her home.
It would already be late, Spike would only express annoyance for the wagon and it's occupier, others who pass by would mostly express confusion, while others who seemed to know what it was would seem to express dislike for the wagon and it's occupier too, saying things which ranged from "We don't want him here" to "Stop doing that! He belongs to a stone!".
Sparky would want to make them stop, but considering how bad was what he caused, to the point of making her friends act like they're doing now, she could know they had their reasons to think so. If just they could know how grave the whole situation was...
She'd just head back to sleep, thinking about how the Elements failed, Ross wasn't bulletproof, he just damages the bullets, but even so, the Princess' last resort didn't work, it would be grave, very bad, and considering how they couldn't just petrify him, nor just finish it, chances are they would have to keep him there, and they couldn't calculate how much damage could he cause in the meantime of staying in the land he dislikes with so much strength as to wreck it.
