Episode 3: Deer Celestia!

Normal POV

SC walked along the forest. He kept thinking about what he was going to do. He didn't want to do it, but those ponies had humiliated him! He felt regrets. But, he had to keep going, he told himself. He looked to see a tree with branches that looked like antlers.

"Yes! I found it!"

He looked down to see heads of deers.

"The Deer Tribe. The most feared and powerful tribe of them all! Wait till they see this!"

He pulled the lever which caused the floor to open up and form a stairway down.

"How convenient."

He walked down but couldn't find anything. All he found was skulls and carcasses of deer. He then felt a chill in his spine. He looked to see a deer with a black cloak and no jaw! He fell back and backed up.

"Oh, sorry my boy. I guess with my look I seem to scare visitors."

SC was shocked to hear the deer talk. He helped him up.

"Thanks. What happened to the others?"

"Oh, poor unfortunate souls. They were so hungry but they couldn't get out. Simply rotted away. Now who may you be my little appetiz-I mean, friend?"

"I'm SC. I came here for help. You see, these ponies called the Mane Six humiliated me! And I want revenge!"

"Hmm I've heard about them. I'll help you with your problem. Oh, excuse me. I forget my manners. My name is Nightmare, The Deer Lord. But you can call me, Night."

"Alright, Night. I think we should attack Ponyville and probably throw some apples at them and-"

"No! No!"

Night inturruped him.

"I have a better idea. What if we attack the castle and show them what we got?"

"That's a great idea! When do we start?"

"Now."

---

Meanwhile at Celestia's castle, Rainbow Dash was boasting to the group about how great she was at fighting the wolves.

"I was like POW BAM WHAM! I am probably the greatest fighter ever!"

Celestia noticed this and smiled.

"If you really think you're that great then you should learn a lesson. You will be punished and will stay here with Twilight sorting the books."

Rainbow Dash was shocked.

"What?! How long?!"

"Until you can solve this simple riddle: What is the best way to defeat an enemy?"

"Ha! That's easy! Sonic Rainboom!"

Celestia nodded and walked away.

"Go help Twilight sort the books."

Rainbow sighed. She followed Twilight to the library and groaned.

---

SC and Night sneakily walked through the guards. Nightmare had knocked them out and they were able to get past. SC laughed.

"Yes! If we keep winning then you will be my loyal henchman!"

Nightmare rolled his eyes and caught his eye on the library.

"Hey, SC? Why don't you go see if there are any apples in that room to throw."

"Hahaha! Good idea! I always look forward to pranks!"

Night then walked towards the library and saw two ponies. One seemed to be a purple unicorn/Pegasus happy. The other was a blue pegasus with a bored look. They seemed to be sorting the books.

Dash had been piling books when she found a weird one. It had a red crystal with symbols around it.

"Hey, Twi! Look what I found!"

Twilight grabbed the book with her magic and looked at it.

"This is a very strange book, Dash."

She opened it to see weird drawings of creatures and ancient writing of some kind. Dash looked at it in amazement.

"So awesome!"

Twilight opened a page that showed a black dog with white eyes and sharp fangs. She looked at the title and read it.

"Hybrid, The King of Chaos?"

Dash shook her head.

"King of chaos? I thought that was Discord."

"Apparently not. It says here that he was banished for causing something called...The Dark Moon?"

"That's strange. I've never heard of a dark moon."

"It seems the dark moon was used to take over Equastria and cover it in darkness?!"

"Woah! Not awesome!"

"Don't worry. It says he was locked in the Underworld. Woah!"

"What?"

"He is able to change all reality, has great power like no other, and able to communicate to anypony by speaking to them in dreams!"

Dash gasped.

"He has the powers of Discord, Celestia, and Luna?! No wonder he's called the king of chaos!"

"That's not all. It also says that he was...the brother of Discord?!"

They both looked at each other in astonishment. Twilight closed the book and set it down on a table.

"We have to tell Celestia and the others about this!"

Dash then smirked.

"Speaking of which. I finally found out the riddle! I'm going to tell Celestia the answer, then everybody will see I really am a great fighter! Then I will become The Golden Mane!"

"You know, Rainbow Dash. You shouldn't be so cocky. That's why you probably got punished and caused SC to attack-"

"Wait! Are you saying it's my fault that the tribes are attacking?!"

"No no no! I'm just saying that that isn't a good attitude."

"Whatever."

She then flew to see Celestia.

Night had been listening and looked to see the book just sitting there. He thought to himself.

"I must get that book! It's the only way to unite the tribes and to follow me!"

He then heard Twilight walking his direction! He walked into the wall and disappeared. Twilight had the book with her she tore out a page with Hybrid in it to show the others.

"Hopefully Celestia will shed some light about this mystery."

She then walked to find her friends. As soon as she went around a corner, Night came out of the wall and chuckled.

"Thank you miss Twilight. You have just given me the key to uniting the tribes! And the key, to the Underworld!"

---

Dash found Celestia and smiled with pride. The princess smiled.

"Oh, Rainbow Dash? I see you've found an answer."

"Yes I did! Teamwork!"

"Is this what you think?"

Dash smiled and nodded.

"Sadly you are wrong."

Dash groaned and walked away to find Twilight and the others.

---

"And that's how I got this page of the book."

Twilight had just finished telling them about The Dark Moon and The King of Chaos. They all looked at each other in astonishment. Rarity was the first one to speak.

"So what you're saying is that this being will try to take over all of Equastria?!"

She nodded. Applejack realized something.

"Do you think it's that dark lord we heard about in that scroll?"

Twilight responded.

"I believe so. Celestia must know more about this then we do. We need to talk to her and fast!"

Pinkie then heard a noise.

"What was that?!"

She hopped over to a room and saw the black dog that ate her cakes. SC looked at her and then ran.

"Guys! It's SC! He's in the castle!"

The others went to chase after him. SC walked up to the highest room in the castle and closed the door. He panted and panted. Suddenly, an invisible force knocked him to the ground. He looked up to see Nightmare appear in front of him.

"Night?! I thought you were my friend?!"

"Your friend?! All you wanted to do was make the tribes your slaves! Well I'm sorry my dear boy but I've got stuff to attend to."

He then disappeared and Rainbow Dash came through the door. She knocked it down and looked at him. Celestia came behind her and looked at SC.

"SC! Get here this instance!"

SC put his head down in shame and walked in front of Celestia. He met her face to face. Dash started to laugh.

"What's his punishment? Sit in a corner for a century? Eat a bucket of worms? Oh! Clean the entire castle?"

"I know exactly what to do."

SC gulped.

---

"And that's why you don't ever trust a deer."

Celestia had been talking to SC and he smiled.

"Wow Celes-ma'am. If my dad had told me that, I would have never done this."

"It's ok. I'm sure it would have been the first thing he would tell you."

She then gave him a cake and walked out of the room to see the Mane Six looking at her in shock. Dash got angry.

"Celestia, this isn't fair! Why isn't he getting punished?!"

The princess then smirked.

"Oh, I almost forgot. Why are you not still sorting books? Did you figure out the answer to my riddle?"

The Mane Six smiled and ran off leaving Dash alone.

"Well?"

Dash sighed.

"No, I'm sorry Princess Celestia. I should have never boasted about me becoming the Golden Mane. I'm also sorry that I couldn't figure out the riddle."

She started to walk away when Celestia said:

"The best way to defeat an enemy...Is to make them your friend."

Dash looked at her in surprise and walked to see SC eating his cake.

"Kind of what Night did with SC."

Celestia nodded. Dash looked at him with sadness in her eyes.

"Then I should make sure that he gets a real friend."

She then walked over to where SC was standing and looked directly at him. SC looked at her in shock. What was she going to do to him now?

"Hi,. Look, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have humiliated you. I just want to start over and get to know each other. So, I hope you can find some kindness in your heart to forgive me."

She then put her hoove out to shake his paw. He smiled and shook it. Celestia smiled.

"Well done, Rainbow Dash. Well done.
