Hello there faithful readers, it's good to have you read my story again. I worked hard on this chapter and am using it mostly to create plot in later parts of the story. I worked pretty hard on it. My life has been busy with calcunometry or some bs like that. Math sux. RandR. Have fun boys and girls

*ALDRIN POV*

I was standing on my balcony of the castle overlooking the kingdom. Our kingdom…mine and Arkraith's. A feeling of immense dread fell over me. I missed my brother, we'll he's really my half brother. Our father the late king Doragon. My mother became queen, whereas, after his birth, Arkraith's mother could not be found. My father adopted him and two years later I was born. That's what he told me at least. Arkraith was never told this and believes the queen is his hasn't caused and problems so far so I don't plan to tell him. I still wonder what he's doing. It's only been a little over a day but it still shouldn't have taken that long. I was deep in thought when I heard a knocking on my door.

"Come in" I called out. Walking back into my room I saw my old friend and trusty advisor Damien walk in. I smiled brightly "Hello friend, do you have any news on Arkraith" He smiled and walked over to me "Yes Lord Aldrin, but I'm afraid it is not good…"

His face turned to a frown as well as mine. "He didn't die if that's what you were worried about" I let out the breath I held in. "Then what's the news?" He took out a folder and handed it to me "A messenger was going to bring it to you but I wanted to hand it to you in person, it's a report on Lord Arkraith's status" I looked down at the folder and went to open it. Damien stopped me. "Let me tell you first, I don't think you want a paper telling you about your brother". I nodded "I hope it is not too grim, please tell me what has happened" He nodded lightly.

He went and sat down on a chair and motioned for me to sit in the one beside it, which I did. "Well he made contact with the element of harmony…" He went on to explain the fight and how he would have succeeded if not for discord, the summoning of the four horses of the apocalypse and being hit by the elements "Well as it turns out the elements turned him into a pony" My eyes went wide. "We believe the elements figured out who he was and are currently taking him to Celestia herself to be punished" I thought about it for a moment before a question popped into my head "Why hasn't he been able to escape? I'm sure those pansie ponies wouldn't be able to tie up someone against their will" He chuckled softly "Wellll he apparently got amnesia after the elements transformed him" I was silent , in thought. "Any other news?"

"There was an incident that our scouts reported after he came out of the train, they say he came running out of the train with his chest encompassed in a black flame. Out scientists hypothesized that this was his pony body rejecting his dark magic, after the incident he fainted. That's all there is in the report, you can read over the details if you like"

" Are we capable of sending anyone to his aid?" He shook his head "No, forcing it open so Arkraith could get through did alot of damage to the portal, it won't be repaired for about a month a little after the armies scheduled departure"

I thought about it for a moment "Do we have any agents in the area capable of a rescue mission?" He thought about it for a moment before replying with "I believe agent CL1134 is stationed in canterlot"

"Whisper?"

"Yes I believe that is her codename, she is currently on rest in you sure she can handle it? She's not the most emotionally stable."

"Send her in, make sure she doesn't cause any problems, and make sure she takes him somewhere Celestia can't find him. Brief her on his current status too I want her to know he has amnesia"

"Yes sir, don't worry, she's the best of the best" I shook my head and replied. "This is Arkraith, if those ponies fed lies to him he will believe them and if they make him think that they are his friends he will protect them, especially if he believes they are good natured"

Damien left the room leaving me to my own thoughts "We will rescue you Brother, you still have to save your people"...

*ARKRAITH'S POV*

I felt my body start to wake and it did not like that. My entire body felt like it was on fire. I heard someone talking in the background.I felt my body take control of itself and it started flailing "WHAT!? But we just gave him phenobarbital! Get me some more right now!" What the hell were these people trying to do to me? I struggled some more before finding myself strapped to a bed of some sort. And I was in a white room filled with surprisingly advanced equipment. I was not about to let myself be a test subject so I pulled harder on the straps and felt them start to come loose. "Hurry with the sedative! He's breaking loose" AW HELLS NAW! I'm not going to be put under by some sort of sedative. I pulled harder and felt the straps break loose.

I jumped right up and saw a few people that looked to be doctors and some were holding syringes and other equipment. I looked for the door and ran right at it breaking through it with unnatural strength. On the outside there were what looked to be guard stationed there and when they saw me run past one of them lit up his horn and I heard a loud wail. AW damn it. I ran through halls and weaved through guards until eventually I took a wrong right turn and came to a hall with nothing but a window at the end. I looked behind me and saw the guards closing in fast. I ran up to the window and looked out. I instantly got a feeling of vertigo just looking down. I turned behind me and saw i was surrounded.

I stepped up onto the window and looked down again. I grinned "hrm it's a long way down, I would probably die, and we don't want that." The guards tensed up "Now take a step back or I jump" they did. Haha I got out of this one "And another" they took another step back. "Now drop yo-" but instead of letting me finish , the stool of the window broke and I felt my body fall.

Well… shoot. As I fell I twisted my body so I could see the ground. Now if I want to not die what do I have to do? Oh I know "HEEELP!" I shut my eyes and prepared to hit as the ground came closer. But my body started to slow down and I opened my eyes to find a grassy wall in front of my face and my body surrounded by a golden aura. I found out soon enough it was not a grassy wall but a grassy ground, when the aura disappeared. I fell flat on my face "ow, that was fun" I said to the ground. "Oooh Oooh can I try!?" OH no oh God no, not her. I look up and see a white royal looking pony with wings and a horn and a warm,caring smile,who kind of reminded me of the pony I saw on the train. The ponies from the train all next to her. There was an awkward silence before the royal looking one spoke up "Hello, you must be the pony twilight spoke of" I kept myself from saying "all kinky I hope". She continued "I am princess Celestia co-ruler of this land with my sister , Princess luna" so this is who I was being brought to.

"I don't think you have been formally introduced have you?" I shook my head at the princess' question "Nope, I've been busy fainting and getting knocked out" Celestia chuckled but rainbow dash looked regretful. She pointed to twilight "This is my faithful student, Twilight Sparkle" Twilight made a pose .She pointed to the white and purple mare "This is rarity"Rarity also did a pose she went on to point to the orange one "This is applejack" Applejack also did a pose, taking off her hat. She pointed to the pink one "This is pinkie pie" Pinkie just smiled widely and continued pointed to rainbow dash "This is-" I interpret her "Rainbow dash, we've already got pretty close" She chuckled lightly "Yes I heard about your little 'incident' on the think we know what caused it"She started walking to the entrance of the castle, everyone following "I believe you already met fluttershy" I looked around trying to find her. Celestia answered my question before I could ask. "She basically carried you all the way here from the train. She's resting in one of our guest rooms"

"Can I go see her?" We were walking into the front entrance now. "Yes but she may not be awake now" She carried me here from the train station, that's quite surprising. We walked in awkward silence for a while, passing guards,doors, and decorative designs. We came up to a door which I could only assume was the guest room fluttershy was in. Celestia opened the door for me and I walked in. Celestia closed the door behind me. "Are you sure that's okay" I heard a muffled twilight say from out the door. "Have faith twilight" said a muffled Celestia.

Fluttershy was sleeping soundly on the bed. She looked exhausted, I can only imagine how hard it must have been to carry me all the way here from the train station. I felt a pain in my heart . "She's this way because of you, you know" I heard an oddly familiar voice say to my right. I looked and saw what looked like an Mish mash of various creatures. "Who are you?" .He grunted then said to himself "Of course you wouldn't remember" I was confused now. "Remember what?". "I would kill you right here, right now if fluttershy hadn't saved you".

I was genuinely scared."I'm sorry, you seem to care about her a lot"

"More than you know" He clenched his fist. He looked at me fiercely . I was trembling "Why don't you remember?!"

"I-I don't know what I'm SUPPOSED to remember" I started to get worked up.

"Everything!?ANYTHING!?" I started to feel tears well up in my eyes, not again.

"I-I CAN'T" I felt the tears start to fall. He came up to me and grabbed me firmly "THIS IS YOUR FAULT!" I felt my heart start to burn "I'm sorry!" I was crying now. Why was I crying. Why is he yelling! I felt the pain in my my chest get stronger. "IT'S YOUR FAULT". He was full on shouting now. As well as I was full on crying "I'M SORRY!" The pain in my chest got to the point where it felt like it was literally burning through me. I looked down and saw,through teary eyes an actual fire. Not again. I felt my body convulse and I collapsed. My consciousness started to slip away. "Celestia NOW!" I heard the guy shout and the door burst open and Celestia as well as the dark pony from the train came rushing in. I could barely see at this point. My consciousness slipped farther away but before it fully did so I felt something touch my forehead. I opened my eyes and saw the two ponies put their horns on me. They slid their horn's down either side of my face down to my neck and connect back again at my chest, the one on fire. They activated their horns and I felt my a searing pain. It felt like my life force was being drained. I looked down and saw a black sphere being pulled out of my chest. "Oh, lovely" I tried to say,instead a grunt came out.

It felt like an eternity of pain. Though it was more likely a few seconds. After it was pulled out it was hastily put into a box of some sort. I felt like I was falling asleep. Celestia trying to help me up. I just wanted to sleep. She used her magic to lift me up and place me on her back. Warm. Soft. Sleep. Were my last thought before wandering into the land of dreams. Questions can be asked later
