As promised here are the deleted scenes. These were all scenes I wanted to put in during Ash's backstory but I ultimately left out because the backstory was getting long and I didn't want it to go past two chapters in fear of the story dragging a bit. But I felt like these scenes were to good to completely leave out since they help you understand more Ash's turn towards the darkness.
So without further ado here are the deleted scenes.
Deleted scene 1.
Celestia and Luna returned to the castle to find Ash laying in the middle of the throne room sobbing. The two princesses felt horrible for what they did but they both felt like Ash no longer being part of the school of magic was what was truly the best for every pony involved.
"Ash," Celestia spoke putting a comforting hoof on the young Prince's shoulder. "I am so sorry."
"Don't touch me!" Ash snapped slapping her hoof away.
"What?" Celestia was taken aback by Ash's harsh response.
"I said don't touch me!" Ash shot up and shoved Celestia aside knocking her into her sister. "I trusted you, I TRUSTED you! You said that you believed in me, you loved me. I finally opened myself up to the world, finally started to think that maybe I can have a happy, normal life after all. That I don't have to fear other ponies and that I will be accepted. And what do you do? You kicked me out of the school for protecting a friend. You treated me like the villain, like every other pony has treated me my entire life! You lied to me! You betrayed me! You think I'm a monster too!"
"No Ash, we don't think your a monster," Luna insisted "You just never belonged there."
"I don't belong with other ponies?" Ash snapped "Is that what your saying? I'm a Alicorn Prince, if I don't belong with other ponies then what's the point of my title?"
"Ash that's not what I meant."
"Then what did you mean!?"
Luna hung her head, she didn't know how to answer Ash on this, no matter what she said it would be the wrong answer and she knew it. She thought she made the right decision by siding with the board, but now, seeing how much it hurt Ash, she was seriously having her doubts. Knowing no matter what she said it would be wrong she said the first thing that came to mind. "You wasn't ready."
"I wasn't ready? Ten years I busted my tail at that school, doing everything I was told. I never once caused any trouble, then I defend a friend one time and now I say I wasn't ready. No, you never believed in me, just like every pony else."
"Ash," Luna started to say before she closed her mouth. She instantly regretted saying anything at all.
"You two were some of the few ponies I truly thought cared for me," Ash cried as he shoved the two ponies two the side and headed for the double doors. "Now I wonder if you ever did."
"Ash," Tears started falling from Celestia's eyes as Ash pushed the doors open and flew off. Celestia ran to the exit to try to follow him but Luna held her back.
"He needs some time to himself," Luna insisted "He'll come back."
Celestia however wasn't sure.
Deleted scene 2. Takes place right after the previous deleted scene.
Ash spent the night sleeping under the bridge. He couldn't return to the castle, not after what just happened. He felt pain before, but not like this. This hurt worst than any blow he had ever received in his life. Celestia was like a mother to him, she was the only mother he had ever known. He loved her, trusted her, and yet she betrayed him. No, he could never go back to the castle.
As he slept under the bridge he suddenly saw Luna appear in his dreams.
"Ash, where are you?"
"Get out of my dreams Luna," Ash replied
"Ash please, come home, we are sorry."
"It's to late for that. You two have both shown your true colors, you two both have shown that you never truly believed in me or trusted me. I am never going back."
"We do believe in you Ash, we trust you, we love you."
"There was a time I believed that, not anymore."
"Ash, Celestia has not left her room since you left. She has not stopped crying. She misses you, I miss you."
"Good, maybe now you both can feel the pain, you caused me."
"Ash..."
"Goodbye Luna, forever."
Ash forced himself awake blocking Luna from trying to figure out his location any longer. Losing Ash's location Luna buried her head in her hooves and started weeping herself. She never thought their decision would lead to this. Their decision just cost them the pony they saw as their own son.
Deleted scene 3. A deleted song that takes place after Ash met Shadow Reaper and became a official part of the school of Dark magic.
"You know what you have to do Ash?" Shadow Reaper asked as he paced around the young Alicorn."
"Destroy Celestia,"
"And why is that?"
"She betrayed me, they all betrayed me."
"And what will you do when you destroy Celestia and Luna?"
"Take Equestria, make them pay for what they did to me!"
Smiling Shadow Reaper started singing as he paced around Ash.
"You've been an outcast your whole life, the would treated you like dirt
Now it's time to repay them for their actions, it's time to hurt them like you hurt.
They wanted a monster they now got one.
Now their time on this Earth is now done.
Now it's time for to repay them for their unkindness
It's time for you to release the madness.
All the other student's at the school of dark magic joined in.
Whoa, whoa whoa.
Release the madness, release the madness. Your done being a good pony anymore.
They want a demon, give it to them. Let the darkness inside you sore.
Release the madness, release the madness. Repay them for their wicked deeds.
They all hurt you, betrayed, abused you. Hurt them back, let them bleed.
Ash took in everything they told him. Standing up he opened his eyes, they were now filled with darkness, and hatred. He slowly walked toward the door as he sung the next part.
"No more hurt no more abuse. No more tears no more pain.
I tried to be good but it was no use. All it did was drive me insane.
Tried to be a good pony but now he's gone.
Now there's only darkness, the dark side won.
They treated me like a demon, because that all they let themselves see of me.
Now it's time I show them just how much of a demon I can really be.
All the students joined in again.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Release the madness, release the madness. Your done being a good pony anymore.
They want a demon, give it to them, let the darkness inside you sore.
Release the madness, release the madness. Repay them for their wicked deeds.
They all hurt you, betrayed, abused you. Hurt them back, let them bleed.
It actually hurt a little when I cut this song but I needed to cut some scenes in order to keep the flashback to only two chapters so sadly this had to go. But it was just to good to not release even if it was as a deleted scene.
Deleted scene 4. Takes place after the song.
Moonlight, and Crown Jewel was spraying graffiti on the school of magic at night. Orchid Plum was using his horn as a light as the other two spray painted a very offensive and scandalous picture of the two princesses performing lesbian acts on each other on the wall.
"Don't you think we will get in trouble for this?" Orchid Plum asked nervous.
"Since when did you become soft?" Crown Jewel asked
"Since Ash shattered my leg and forever left me a cripple." Orchid pointed to the crutch he now uses. Even after the princesses put his leg back together it was never fully repaired and he was forced to use a crutch for the rest of his life. "I don't know performing certain deeds now makes me uneasy."
"You really should have listened to your fears years ago then." A familiar voice was heard saying behind them. All three turned around and gasped when they saw Ash. Glaring at them with a look of pure hatred. "You know vandalizing royal property in itself is a federal offense, but portraying the two princesses in such a manner as that can be considered high treason. You know what the punishment for that is?"
"What are you going to do about it then?" Crown jewel mocked "You ain't the Princesses favorite pupil anymore. They can't protect you."
"Your right Crown Jewel. But trust me, it won't be me that needs protecting." Ash then fired a blast at Crown Jewel that caused his whole body to light on fire. Moonlight and Orchid couldn't help but scream as they saw Crown Jewel roll on the ground trying to put the fire out. But this was dark magic fire and there was no putting it out. Moonlight and Orchid could only watch in horror as Crown Jewel completely turned to nothing but ash on the ground.
Moonlight and Orchid tried to run but Ash put a spell on both of them, freezing them into place.
"Ash, please don't!" The two terrified ponies screamed.
"You two always treated me like a monster, all because of how I looked. Well, you want to see a real monster?" Ash then put a spell on Moonlight that caused him to rapidly age. Orchid watched in horror as Moonlight's skin became pale and wrinkly, his mane became white and fell off. Soon his skin suddenly peeled off and he become nothing but bones piled on the floor.
"I'm sorry Ash!" Orchid cried "Sweet Celestia I'm sorry. I should of treated you better, we all should of treated you better."
"It's to late for your apologies." Ash replied "You should of thought about that, before you treated me or Star Gazer like you did."
Suddenly Ash put a spell on Orchid that made him choke. He grabbed himself by the throat and fell to his knees begging Ash for mercy.
"Please Ash," Orchid begged "I'm sorry."
"I know." Ash replied with a evil grin.
Soon Orchid collapsed dead, having been choked to death. Ash used his magic to erase the graffiti that the three trouble makers left before walking towards the castle.
"Now it's Celestia's turn."
And that's the last deleted scene. What do you think? Should I have put them in the story? Would you have liked it if I had extended the backstory a chapter to fit these in? Let me know in a review and I will catch you later.
