" WAKE UP SCUM..."yelled a strong voice from outside. even with this thick door i could hear him well. "TIME TO EAT." he yelled as the doors to the cell churned and clanged and swung open. a guard walked in and past him i could see other convicts walking down the hall.
"get up you fuck." said the guard. "breakfast." i got up and he pulled me out into the hall. i started walking with him and the other convicts into a large cafeteria. my favorite meal of the day... breakfast... woo fucking hoo. i walked over and got in line with the other thugs and brutes. most of them were still wearing their leather and stuff so i wasn't the only one. the line moved forward and i grabbed a tray. when it was my turn the chef just looked at me gloomily and slapped a pile of grey slop onto the tray. prison chef probably isn't the most glamorous job.
i walked out of line with my food and took a lone seat by myself. i set the tray down and sat down myself. i was feeling much better and i think i worked out the kinks in my legs and stuff... but my chest is still sore and it hurts to put pressure on it. i looked down at the grey mess on my tray and i swear i saw it move. i shrugged and brought my face down to take a bite after i took off my hat and placed it down on the table. i took a bite of the gruel. i chewed it and swallowed... it wasn't as bad as i expected it to be... but it's still pretty bad. i think i'll be able to force this down my throat three times a day until i escape. i went to take another bite when i felt something push on the back of my head and shove my face into the food.
"look at yippie kai cowboy over here." said a large sounding pony behind me. i lifted my face from the food and i could feel a spark of incredible rage spike in me. the whole cafeteria was silent. i brought my head up and wiped the food off my face with a napkin i grabbed. i got up and grabbed my hat. i put it on my head and i turned behind me to see one large muscular stallion sitting behind me laughing. his laughter was the only thing filling the air in this cafeteria everything else was silent. i looked to see all the other convicts looking over and watching like they expected a show.
"dude... do you know who that was." said one of his friends across the table shifting his eyes from me to his buddy. i took a few steps closer.
"yeah... some weak ass punk who probably tried to rob a bank and tripped over his own hooves." he said laughing at his own jokes. i took a few more steps closer until i was behind him.
"no... that was scar." said another of his friends. the stallion stopped laughing and the mood became more serious. i stood behind him and watched his happiness drain out of him slowly.
"you guys are pulling my leg... scar is uncatchable." he said.
"was..." i said. suddenly all the happiness fell from the stallion. before he did anything else i wrapped my hooves around his head and twisted his head. the cafeteria rippled with the sound of his neck snapping and breaking. he was dead now... and i don't regret it too much. "i was uncatchable." i said. i let go of his head and he fell forward smashing his face into his own tray of grey slop.
i turned around and went back to my food. and so did the rest of the cafeteria. the air soon filled with the chatter of ponies and guards. it was like nothing had happened. not even the guards mere feet away did anything to stop it. never knew a place this cruel and unforgiving could exist under the capital of equestria. i ate the rest of my food and soon breakfast was over. we returned to our cells and i was thrown back in mine. however i no longer had a roommate... or the same cell.
they placed me in a less heavy cell with no other convicts. the guard said something about the warding wanting me to be visible at all times. so they stuck me in a large cell with two thick iron bar doors and a gridded window which was slightly larger than the others. i liked this cell better. the beds were the same as the last cell i was in and it had a toilet and sink with mirror. it was like the best of both cells... so to speak.
i sat in my cell and planned my escape when the guards had called us for recess. they gathered us all in a large room. i looked up and noticed that this was an open area with a clear path to the sky... the other prisoners call this the pit. its a hole in the slope of the mountain that opens up into freedom. some say they put it here to torment us with delerious grangures of hope and freedom. to me it looked that way... but it also looked like a method of escape. at least it did until i saw the faint glow of a shield covering the top. now it was just a delusion of hope and freedom. it would have been easier to fly away too if they hadn't left my wings cuffed like the other pegasi. all the unicorns had small rings cuffed around their horns which i figured stopped their magic.
i decided that if i am going to get out of this place i'll need to be strong. so i walked over to the gym area with dumbbells and bench presses. it wasn't a problem to get an open station when i'm the most notorious villain in equestria. i also got two ponies to put more weight on the bar when i needed it. so that's what i did for the two hour recess. i learned that i'm already surprisingly strong. i could bench press 180 pounds with ease. i did bench presses dumbbells pull-ups, and leg lifts. it was a good workout and i got some exercise.
on the way back i started looking around the halls of the prison looking for something i could use to escape, or someway out. i kept looking until i noticed an open door. i didn't see much inside before it closed but there was a sign outside that said "guards quarters."... that could be useful. i got back to my cell and continued my workout by doing push ups and sit ups for the rest of the day. when i got thirsty i just got water from the sink and went on. while i was working out i thought about what i could use the guards quarters for.
granted there aren't any guards in there by chance i could take some weapons... possibly a suit of armour and pass off as a guard. but they'd single me out from the scar across my face, even with the helmet... besides where would i put my clothes. i kept thinking as hard as i could until night came around and i rested up for the day.
i woke up the next day and continued my schedule. i had breakfast alone, worked out at recess then trained in my cell when none of the guards were watching. i practiced swinging my tomahawk without actually pulling it out. then when it got dark i slept. this went on for the next five days... before it was time. today was sunday and i was sentenced to hang at high noon... it was roughly around eight. i had trained for combat the entire time and i've been almost everywhere in this prison and yet i couldn't think of a way out.
i paced around my cell nervously trying to figure a way out. i had grown since last time and i was far more stronger and muscular than before. my routine really worked, but it won't be any good if i can't get out. i paced around the room nervously trying as hard as i could to think.
"think dammit think." i said hitting my own forehead trying to jog up some ideas... how do i get out of this shit hole. every possibility i ran through my head ended up with a bad end. there were too many guards and not enough exits. the the only exits i know of are the front door, and the the pit. but the pit is shielded and the front door is barred from the other side with a thick bar of iron. plus it leads into the castle which is dangerous territory. and going out for the execution was a no go since i was more than likely going to be bound.
as i paced around and the options running through my head continued to fail, i got mad. i was so close, i was ready... but there's no way out, it's not fair. i let out a deep shout of frustration and threw my hat at the wall. it hit the wall hard and fell to the floor. the metal skull buckled broke off and clanged against the stone floor until it stopped in the middle of the floor. i let out a deep sigh and let my anger drain out of me. i walked over to the skull buckle and picked it up. i looked at it and held it in my hoof.
i looked it over and i noticed something. i turned it to the side and there was a slit running down the left side to teeth at the bottom... what the fuck? i looked over it and flipped it around to look at the back. there was nothing special in the back... except. there was a small indent in the middle of the back. like somepony carved a perfect circle in it. i brought my hoof over the indent... "this can't be what i think it might be" i thought with some hope returning to me. i pressed my hoof on the indent and a stick of metal whisked out of the side startling me.
i looked at it and it wasn't just a stick of metal but it was a key... this is a freaking skeleton key... wait, how do i know that term. well it's a skull key so you know, skull... skeleton. and the term skeleton key is general enough for me to know what it is. this will help big time. with this new sense of hope a fresh new idea washed into my brain. it seemed perfect... but there was no end, i couldn't get past one part of it... but i'll deal with it when i get there.
i closed the key and picked up my hat. i fitted the skull back onto the hat and placed it on my head. and now i sit and wait. and so i did. i sat there and waited for the guards to come and fetch me for the execution. until then i ran over numerous strategies and plans for hiding if the guards should see me. the only thing i should really be afraid of are the unicorns... though there aren't as many as the other guards their magic can be a real problem... so i'll have to either sneak up on them or avoid them. i kept thinking and thinking until two guards came up to the cell door. i stood up and glared at them.
"todays the day scar." said one of the guards excitedly as the other smiled and opened the two barred doors. they opened the second one and walked in. i slid my hoof back and pulled it up into my duster so they wouldn't notice. i reached up and quietly unfastened my tomahawk. they grew closer and i gripped the weapon tightly.
"lets go..." said the other guard. "time to die." he said. i smiled... i couldn't agree more.
in a flash of speed and strength i lashed the tomahawk out as the first guard and it cut clean through his helmet and burrowed deep in his skull. blood splattered over me and the other guard. the first guards eyes started rolling back into his head and i pulled the axe from his skull. he quickly fell over onto the ground dead. i looked over to the other guard who was looking at me with the utmost fear in his eyes.
"celestia save me..." he said... too late. i slashed the axe out and cut clean through the first half of his neck. with his vocal chords slashed there was no hope of him yelling out for help. he brought his hoof to his violently bleeding neck and stood there turning more and more pale with every second. eventually he too fell over dead. i quickly grabbed the buckle off my hat and pushed the key out. i reached back to my wings and undid the restraints. they fell to the floor and i stretched my wings... now the fun begins.
i ran out of the cell and checked both ends of the hallway... no guards, good. i moved down the hall and stopped when a better idea ran through my head. i ran over to the other cells when the prisoners saw me they roared out in a loud cheer. i quickly ran from cell to cell and started undoing the cages and setting them free.
soon the halls were filled with cries of victory and escaped convicts. they ran through the halls and it wasn't long until the guards caught wind. they tried to suppress the prisoners but there was no hope. they were quickly overthrown and most likely killed. i had no idea what kind of effect this would have on canterlot but frankly i don't give a shit. i kept running through the halls and soon i came across the guards quarters.
i tried the door but it was locked... not a problem. i unlocked the door and put the skull back on my hat. i opened up the door and walked inside. there were three guards. one was sitting in a chair and the other two were looking right at me... none of them with weapons. i quickly rushed up behind the pony looking away.
"look out." said one of the other guards. too late. i ran over and slit the ponies throat. he bled out and died. i looked up and quickly noticed that the stallion on the left was a unicorn... that's not good. the other guard went for a spear. i did the first thing i could think to do and threw the tomahawk at the guard. it whirled through the air and cleaved him right in the middle of the face... either i'm really lucky or i'm actually that good.
the second guard let out a cry and charged me with a spear. out of instinct i dodged the spear and it went past me. i grabbed it and pulled it forward yanking it out of the guards hooves. it twirled it around until the point was aimed at the guard. i let out a cry of anger and stuck the spear right through his chest. he was washed over with the pain and shock of death. he stumbled back a bit before he fell over dead. i smiled.
i looked around the room and there wasn't much. just beds and a few tables. there was a map of the prison hanging up. i ran over and analyzed it. there wasn't much hope for escape when i saw a tunnel that a river cuts through here. it's heavily guarded and leads to the other half of the prison. i'm pretty sure that the other convicts are freeing the rest of the prisoners and uncuffing themselves with some keys they got off a dead guard. i turned and i was about to leave when i noticed a chest. it had a sign over it "prisoner confiscations."... wonderful.
i rushed over and opened it up looking for useful supplies. and there were many goodies hiding in this chest. i loaded myself up with throwing knives, a good sword, regular daggers, basic necessities (flint and tinder, rope, and medicine). i put the flint and medicine in a pouch and kept the rope by my side. i looked through some more and there wasn't much left. but after a bit of digging i found a really awesome bow. it was ornate and it had doubled limbs for extra power and a tough string. i looked around and noticed a leather quiver full of arrows that the guards use... marvelous.
i took the gear and kept it close should i need it. i kicked open the door and rejoined the chaos and anarchy outside. looks like this part of the prison was cleared. there were a few ponies still lingering around that cheered when they saw me. i tipped my hat to them and smiled. i also noticed that cells i didn't unlock there now open... like i guessed. i ignored the rest and ran for the cafeteria. from there i will go to the pit and then to the river.
i ran through the halls passing convicts and thugs every now and then. i also passed by body after body most of them being guards but there were numerous convicts dead too. some of the guards that weren't killed were being... well... it probably would have been better if they were killed. i kept running and i got through to the cafeteria. i looked around and there were many convicts here. they had scavenged gear and weapons from guards and they had overrun the kitchen. they were taking and distributing all the good food they would serve the guards. when one pony noticed me he spread it on to others and soon all eyes were on me.
"scar scar scar." the ponies would yell and chant. i smiled and tipped my hat. it was a bit weird hanging around bandits and convicts but i could get used to this way of life. it was exciting and fun as well. i didn't care much for this town or its ponies, and i sure as hell can't stay in equestria anymore... i'll have to leave and make another title someplace else. but i'll be sure to carve a trail as i'm leaving.
i ran through the cafeteria and through some more halls. soon i was blinded by the sunlight of the day and i was out in the pit. i looked up to see pegasus ponies were trying to get out through the shield but it wasn't working. they had unicorns on there too. they were working together to get out. the unicorns were blasting away at the shield. that might work but it would take too long. when the convicts saw me they started chanting like in the cafeteria. i tipped my hat and left to the other door. there was a large crowd gathered around that door... probably half of the ponies in this jail.
i slowed down and walked over. as the crowd started to notice me they began parting ways and cheering my name. i must be like their king or something. to be honest i was letting all of this get to my head. it wasn't long until i got to the large door i looked at it. it was one of those locks you need magic to open... like the cell doors. but much...much larger.
"they locked it and shut us out of the other half..." said a random pony.
"you can get through it can't you scar." said another pony.
"yeah... scar." said a third. they all began the chant my name again. hmm... i wonder.
i reached up to my hat and pulled off the skull key. i flipped out the key and brought it close to the door. i stuck the key into the hole and the air inside the hole glowed and shimmered. the door glowed faintly and lit up. the pit came to life with the sounds of scraping and crashing metal. the bars locking the door shifted out of place and unlocked the door. mechanisms in the wall whirred to life and the door opened up revealing a small battalion of guards that had set up frontier behind the door. they all stared in shock.
"knock knock." i said with a smile. the prisoners burst out in a war cry and rushed past me. they ran by me on all sides and overthrew the guard outpost. the air filled with sounds of battle. i let out a deep sigh and decided to join in the fun. i leaned back and shot myself forward with great speed and power. i ran down the hall shooting past convicts and slashing my tomahawk at any guards i passed. i soon came up on a 3 way intersection and thought back to the map. i looked back and i could see the map. i got to the intersection and made a left.
i turned the corner to see three guards clogging the hall with their spears jetting out at their sides. i ran up to them and before i got too close i dove down to the ground and slid past them back hooves first. i slashed the legs of the guard on the right and he fell crying in pain. i quickly sweeped the legs of the third guard and stood up just in time to parry off an attack from the third guard.
he stabbed his spear at me but i hit it away with the tomahawk. from there i pushed my hoof forward and stuck him in the neck. i looked back at the second guard who i tripped. he was laying there watching in horror. i pulled the tomahawk from the third guards neck and immediately brought it down on the face of the second guard... i freaking love this tomahawk. i spun the axe in my hand and put it on my belt. i kept running down the hall. i pulled out my bow and readied an arrow on it.
i aimed and took out one of the guards down the hall. i took out as many guards as i could with the bow. since i was using my wings to fire the bow that left me free to use the tomahawk to dispose of any guards that i couldn't snag first. this was almost too easy. i kept running down the hall and i saw the huge iron doors to the river. i ran forward and pushed the doors open with ease. they flung open and i stared in a the room.
it wasn't just a tunnel with a river... it was a huge cave with a giant river cutting through it. i looked over and saw there were docks where they had air ships docked... that's my ticket out of here. but there was practically an army stationed at the river. the guards soon caught me and i was fired at with arrows. i quickly moved aside and pulled one of the iron door over as a shield. i looked back in the long hall to the the other convicts rampaging down the hall roaring as they ran.
it wasn't long before they rushed by me and ran out into the open field. i blended in with the crowd and rushed the river with them. the archers had no trouble in making easy kills of the convicts and they started dropping by the seconds. but they weren't so fortunate when we reached the walls of the little wooden fort they had set up.
when we did reach the wooden gates, the river of convicts i had amassed just ran right through it using themselves as a battering ram. it was quite impressive. soon the fort was over run. i rushed through the gates and tried making my way to the ships. i took out archers and guards left and right with my bow and tomahawk. it's safe to say that i was now properly soaked with blood.
i kept going for the air ships along with other convicts who shared the same plan. i noticed that the rest of the convicts were beginning to burn the walls of the fort. i came up to the board walk and now we were on the docks. i went for the closest air shit. i ran as fast as i could but the board crossing over to the ship was clogged up by two guards. i ran at them and they drew their spears. they saw the carnage behind me and grew nervous and slightly retreated... big mistake. in their wake of fear i slipped past their spears and crouched down between them i shot myself up and pushed both of them into the river. i smiled and boarded the ship.
i ran up and there were guards on it. i started taking out any unicorns i could find to make sure they couldn't make an easy kill of me. i took out a few and some archers too. soon the ship was boarded by more convicts. they took out the rest of the guards. the ship got full and i kicked off the board to get on the ship. i ran over to the controls and the wheel. one of the convicts undid the fastening of the ship and we started to float on the river towards the mouth of the mountain.
it most likely drained out into a waterfall and i'm going to have to start this ship up if we don't want to plummet to death. there was a lever next to the wheel of the ship. i followed it's trail of wires and it lead to the furnace of the balloon. so the lever starts the ship. as we inched closer and closer to the mouth of the mountain i grabbed hold of the lever. i looked back to see other ships undocking and floating over.
it wasn't too long before we were right at the mouth of the mountain and the sounds of a roaring waterfall filled my ears. the front of the ship lurked over the side and i pulled down on the lever. the furnace sparked to life a fired a roaring inferno into the giant balloon. the ship jerked a bit and rocked and the ship left the river and was now floating in the air. the whole crew shouted out in victory and i just smiled... i did it... i got out.
the ship started sinking a bit but after a while it leveled out just above cloud layer. that's probably good that we keep low to the ground. i steered the ship and i had the perfect place in mind for our first stop... ponyville. time to pay my old friends a visit. i started thinking of some nasty things but i cleared those out of my mind. i was even thinking like a criminal. i don't mind being one however... but i won't be a ruthless criminal. won't kill mares or children, and i won't rape or murder. the only time i'll kill is if its guards, other bandits, or any stallion that tries attacking me.
"all bow to scar... king of the outlaws." yelled one pony.
"hail scar king of the outlaws." the others ranted and bowed to me. i just smiled. i looked beside the ship and saw the other bandits and convicts that got on ships were following my ship and cheering out at me. i smiled even more. i looked up at the sky and saw it was getting darker... good, i can slip in under the cover of night. and in my rush around the prison i managed to pick up a few of those horn rings the convicts had on. this should come in handy during my visit with miss sparkle.
i steered the ship towards ponyville and it had grown dark before we got there. the lights on this ship helped us to see but i looked down at ponyville. i saw twilight's tree house and let go of the wheel.
"somepony grab the wheel." i said walking away. one of the convicts rushed over and grabbed the wheel. i grabbed a length of rope and tied it to the end of the ship. i threw it down and it went close to the ground. i looked up at the other convicts. "my fellow villains." i said. "this is where i leave you... tell all the story of this day... the day they almost caught scar the bandit king." i said. i hopped back and grabbed hold of the rope. i slid down the rope quickly and over to the bottom. i let got and used my wings wo slowly drift to the ground. i looked up at the sky to see the ships drifting away. i smiled and tipped my hat
i made my way down the dark dimly lit road in the direction of twilight's house. i kept in the secrecy of the night only showing my face whenever i passed under a street lamp. i looked around at all the sleeping and quiet homes. the night was cold and dead silent. only the mellow chirp of crickets and buzzing of insects filled the air. i walked around until i spotted twilight's tree. i walked up the path and walked up to the door. i tried it at first and it was locked. i used my skull key to unlock the door and placed it back on my hat. i silently pushed the door open and closed it behind me. i looked around the dark house.
it was hard to see but i could find my way around. the light flickering through the open windows helps. almost every wall was covered in books. there was a rug a desk and a couch in the room. there was a staircase across the room and a kitchen door to the left. i walked around and thought of a plan. i took out my tomahawk and walked around. i looked over at the desk which had a small vase of flowers. i swung my tomahawk at the vase and it shattered filling the house with noise. i quickly ran over and hid in the kitchen. i waited silently while the room i was just in filled with light.
"hello..." said twilight's familiar voice. "who's down here." i could hear hoofsteps going down the stairs "ow..." twilight yelped. i could hear the shuffling of glass under her feet. she probably stepped on broken shards of the vase. "damnit... fluttershy made me that vase..." she let out a deep sigh. "whoevers in here show yourself." said twilight... c'mon twilight... take the bait.
i waited silently as i could hear hoofsteps growing closer and closer to the kitchen doorway. i smiled and quietly walked over to the counter and ducked behind it out of view. i peaked over to see twilight stick her purple head through the doorway. she seemed confused, nervous, and scared. i smiled and watched her. she slowly walked into the kitchen and went for the lights. i ducked back down so she wouldn't notice me. she flicked the lights and the room filled up with light.
"spike?..." she said... who the hell is spike. "spike is that you... i told you i don't mind if you grab a late night snack but if you broke fluttershy's vase it's alright... i'm not mad." she said. her talking helped me track where she was. by the end of her sentence she had passed me. time to go. i quietly peaked my head over to see that she wouldn't notice me. when i was in the clear i slowly slipped over the counter and quietly walked up to her.
"this is going to be fun." i said to myself evilly in my head.
"spike?" she said with confusion. she was at the end of the kitchen and i was right behind her now. i made my move and grabbed her. she let out a scream but it only lasted a second before i covered her mouth with my hoof and quickly slipped the horn ring over her head. i locked it and let her go. she stumbled forward. "who the hell are..." she stopped there when she turned and saw my smiling face.
"hello miss sparkle." i said holding my tomahawk and spinning it around in my hoof. "did you miss me." she took in a deep breath and she was probably going to scream but i stopped her. "that won't work miss sparkle." i said. "it won't matter if you scream or not... if you scream i'll have slit you're throat and flew off into the night before anypony actually heard it. and you're magic won't do you good with that ring on you're head" i said. " so what'll it be." i said shrugging.
"how did you get out of the dungeons." she said. i just chuckled.
"it was easy... you're beloved royal guards don't do a good job of checking their prisoners... it was almost too easy." i said laughing on the inside. "guards come to get me and bring me to hang, i kill the guards... open the cell doors... there's a lot of violence, killing, anarchy, all that good stuff... before you know it i let loose every convict in the dungeon and now i'm equestrias king of the outlaws."
"you're lying... you're just trying to make me scared." she said.
"no... this is true... oh yeah and we stormed the underground naval base and hijacked the flying ships... that happened too." i said.
"no... you're lying." she said.
"believe me or not... when were done with this little transaction of ours you can go to canterlot yourself and see." i said. "now where have you put my gear." i asked.
"like i would tell you." she said. i just rolled my eyes and grabbed the rope i kept. i had tied it into a lasso on the ship and i wanted to try it. i picked it up spun it a little and threw it at twilight who tried to run. it fell over her and i pulled it catching her hooves and she fell to the ground. i jumped on her and held her mouth down while i tied her up. i wrapped the rope around her snout to act as a muzzle and tied her up.
"poor miss twilight... you don't seem to get it." i said getting off of her as she grunted and groaned. "the night is young and i'll find my belongings with or without you're help." i said. she kept trying to get free and grunted to get lose. "that won't work... rope is pretty strong... trust me i know." i said in an angry voice right in her ear. the irony was quite satisfying and i left the kitchen and looked around. there was nothing in the first room so i walked up the stairs to another similar room. there was a doorway to the bathroom and a staircase leading to an uprising were her bedroom was.
i walked up to her bedroom and looked around i checked everywhere but didn't find anything. i looked under her bed and found a large chest. i pulled it out and opened it up with ease. inside was littered with items along with my gear... really miss sparkle, under the bed? i left some of my old stuff behind while i grabbed the other utilities and the bag of money. i looked through the chest some more.
there was a necklace with a small green glowing gem, i took that. and there was another pouch filled with money. i poured those into my bag and threw the sack away. i also grabbed some potions laying in there that were filled completely and labeled. i grabbed some other treasures and left the rest of the junk for her. i closed the chest and left it out. i walked down and looked for anything else i can acquire. while walking around i almost tripped over something. i looked down at it and saw it was some kind of sleeping basket. a dog would have barked me down a long time ago, she must have a cat or something.
i looked around and found another small strong box on a desk nearby. i walked over to it and it was locked... not a problem. i unlocked the box with the skull key and opened it up. there was more money and gems inside. there were also pre written spells on scrolls. and various other small potions with interesting properties. these scrolls are nice though, i could use these spells in the future. suddenly something jumped on my back and i let out a soft shout of surprise.
"i'll show you to steal our stuff." said a young male voice. whatever was on me was hitting the side of my head with his hooves or whatever. i quickly grabbed him and with ease chucked him across the room into the nearest bookshelf. he hit the bookshelf with a thud and then the floor causing books to pile on him. he got up dazed but alive. he was small, very small with claws, purple scales, and green spines running on top of his head down his back to his tail.
"what the... what the fuck are you?" i said confused as to what this thing was.
"i'm spike." he said shaking his head and regaining his posure.
"no but... WHAT are you." i said squinting to see if it would help.
"i'm a dragon... so watch out." he said. he's a dragon... that's... so funny. i couldn't help but laugh right in the little guys face.
"thats rich... that's gold." i said almost keeling over with laughter. "the twerp thinks he's a big scary dragon." i said laughing out loud.
"i am a dragon." he said.
"kid i don't care if you're the fucking king of dragons..." i said. "your a freaking runt." i said still slightly laughing. "look at you, you don't even have wings yet, no fangs, claws aren't sharp, and you're like a foot tall... what were you hoping to accomplish by pouncing on me... you were begging to get thrown into a bookshelf."
"well if twilight was here she would kick you ass." he said.
"ooh big language for a little dragon." i said. "and FYI twilight is home... she's just a little tied up at the moment."
"what did you do to twilight... i swear to if you hurt her i'll...i'll." he said at a loss for words.
"you'll WHAT." i said shouting at him causing him to fall back. i walked up and placed my hoof on his chest and held him down. he scrambled trying to get free and he started clawing at my hoof but his claws weren't sharp enough to even scratch my tough leather armor.
"what did you do with twilight." he said, i could see tears welling up in his eyes.
"jeez kid don't go crying about it." i said. "i told you she's tied up... in the kitchen." i said.
"please don't hurt her." he said with all bravery now having left his system only to be replaced by fear and sadness.
"relax kid." i said. "i'm not here to kill you mommy... i just came here for what's mine." i said backing up and lifting my hoof off his chest. he laid there gasping for breath... i might have stepped on him a little too hard, but oh well. i walked over to the window and ripped the curtain down. i walked over to the baby dragon and picked him up. he tried to fight but he was too tired to be a bother. i tied the curtain to his tail tightly and tied the other end to the curtain pole. he hung there upside down exhausted.
"what are you doing." he said.
"making sure you don't go running off to tell the neighbors or something stupid like that." i said. "if you can make it out of this then you get to do whatever you want... but i don't think that's going to happen soon." i said. i left him there to hang and he slowly drifted off to sleep. i walked away and went back downstairs. i walked into the main room and then into the kitchen. i saw that twilight had shimmied her way towards the entrance of the kitchen. she stopped and froze in place when she saw me.
i could tell by the look in her eyes that she was genuinely afraid now... good. she also had a few tears welling up under her eyes and they started to trail off. i looked down at her with a cold and unfeeling glare coupled with a wicked smile that could chill bones. to be honest it felt good being in this position of power. i reached down and grabbed the rope that was binding her.
"where do you think you were off to miss sparkle." i said. i picked her up and held her in front of my face. she started to scream out as much as she could but with that muzzle on her mouth only i was the only one who could hear them. though part of me would really like to hear her scream. "well miss sparkle." i said walking her back to the end of the kitchen. "it was a pleasure...remember to tell you're friends that today was the day that i... scar, king of the outlaws, burnt his mark of destruction onto equestria and got away." i said dropping her on the floor. "have a good night miss sparkle..." i said walking to the kitchen exit. "i won't be seeing you again." i said tipping my hat to her and shutting off the lights.
i shut off all the lights in the house and walked right out the front door. i walked down the path and into the street. i took a deep breath and looked up to the night sky. i let out the deep breath i took and shot up into the air. i flew up into the sky and out of ponyville. i followed the closest street leading out of ponyville and headed towards wherever it would take me. i'll be following this road to wherever it takes me. i hope that within time it would lead me to the edge of equestria.
now that i am THE most wanted criminal in all of equestria i'm going to have to lay low. i'd dye my hair and change my outfit, but that's too easy... no fun in it. i want to draw as much attention as i can to myself and cause as much havoc and chaos as i can on my way out. it's safe to say that i'll be leaving equestria in style. to say the least... i was excited. no wonder why i had chosen to be an outlaw... i'm too good at it. i'm back and i'd say that i'm better than ever.
ready or not equestria... here i come.
