Another Chance at Life
Chapter 37: 37. On The Hunt
Previous Chapter Next ChapterRainbow Dash woke up to the sound of sizzling. She got up and walked around trying to find out where it was coming from. It would get louder when she got close to Kyle. She got an idea; she walked around to his back and saw that 3 of the red scars were fading away. The blue one was also getting a little brighter. She watched as the scars completely faded and the blue one shines brightly. “Make them pay Kyle” she said before she walked back over to her original spot and lay back down next to him. She was getting the feeling that he was trying to take back control, but was having some resistance. She snuggled in close again and drifted back off into sleep.
This is taking forever! Why can’t they just be out in the open so I can see them? I was walking around again. I got a glimpse of someone, but they rounded a corner and disappeared. I was starting to think that they were all hiding in one building when I saw someone sitting on a broken bench a little ways away. I walked up to him and saw that it was Joy.
“Joy, how are you holding up?” I said to him.
“Oh, I’m a lot better now. I am just waiting around, I don’t know why” Joy said to me with a smile.
“Hey Joy, I am trying to round up all of my personality traits so I can put them into chests that I got from this guy named Overlord. Can you go into this one here?” I said as I held out the box with the smile on the top.
“Sure, I could use a good rest from all of this crap right about now. You can use it when ready” Joy said to me finally.
I opened the box and the bright flash of light engulfed him. When it dissipated he was gone. Well, time to go find another! I decided to walk along the outskirts this time and I was glad I did, Sadness and Deceit were sitting on an embankment 50 feet away from me. I tried to be solid snake and walk up to them really quietly. When I was like 5 feet away from them Sadness turned his head and saw me. !!! Snake? Snake? Snaaaaaaakkkeee?
“*sobs* l-look who’s here Deceit? W-we have *sniffles* a little trouble maker on our hands now” Sadness said to Deceit.
“Well, we should make him feel welcome then. Here sit down with us and we can have a lovely conversation” Deceit said to me with a sly grin.
Ohhh he’s good, but I will not be taking that offer and I will be going to trap you both in a very small chest now. I walked up to them and took my small chest with a frown out. They were looking at it like it was some sort of alien technology. I opened it and chains flew out and started to wrap around them both.
“*wails* W-w-why are you doing this master?” Sadness yelled to me.
“Because in there there is a wamburger with a side of French cries. Now stop being such a baby!” I said to him with a smile. This is sort of fun, I like what they have to say to me before they get locked away in the chest full of endless cramped spaces and tight squeezes.
“I’ll pay you! Just don’t send me away, please I’ll do anything!” Deceit said to me pleadingly.
I stood there and watched as the two of them got dragged into the chest. Yay, 2 more of them found! That only leaves Acrimony, Dementia, Rapture, Love, Kindness, and Memory. Now here is where it gets difficult.
I kept walking along the outskirts and I began to get really bored. What will happen at the end of this? What will happen to me? Will I find my body so I can take control again, or will I just end up in this desolate wasteland of a Ponyville? ARGH, this is so not fun anymore! I stopped walking and looked into the library window of Twilight’s house, well her house in this world. I was shocked to see that there were two of my personality traits sitting at a table talking to each other. I put my ear up to the glass and strained to listen in.
“I see what you mean Love, but we can’t do anything while the others are running loose out there.”
“I know Kindness, but it just seems like that master is not here anymore and, what are we going to do about it?”
YAY, two of the good personality traits that I need! Whelp, time to go in and pay them a visit from master! I walked up to the front door and opened it quietly. I walked in and into the room where they were sitting. “Hello Kindness…Love”
“MASTER?” they both exclaimed in unison.
“Eeeyup, now I heard what you said a little bit ago and I am trying to get all of my personality traits rounded up into these two chests. You two are a few of the 6 that are remaining. Can you please go into the chest that has the smile on it?” I said to them. I am running out of explanations for this, pretty soon I will just walk up to them and open the freaking chest to get it over with!
“Sure, I don’t want to be here anymore anyways. When you take back control master, give RD a hug for me” Love said to me as he stood up and waited.
“I will go as well, this place is so full of hatred and unhappiness that it makes me sick” Kindness stated after Love.
“Here we go” I said before I opened the chest. The flash consumed them and when it was gone so were they. Ok, so there are 4 of them left. Maybe after this is over I can finally rest my worn feet.
I started to walk around again and then I began to hear loud banging noises coming from a street over. I walked down an alleyway and saw Dementia lobbing what looked to live grenades at a building on the other side of the street. I walked around the building he was standing on and saw that he got up by stacking boxes behind it. I climbed up the boxes and after I did I took out the box that had the frown on it. “Hey Dementia! Catch!” I said to him before I threw the chest at him.
He turned around and caught the chest. He looked at it and then to me. “Why are you giving me this master, all it is, is a small chest?”
I sure hope this works, because if it does I will officially be Captain Bullshit, and then I will die of laughter. “Open it! There is something inside that I think you will like!”
“OOHHH” he said as he lifted the lid. When he did the chains flew out and started to wrap around him. “Curse you master and your ability to foil my fun!” Then Dementia was sucked into the chest and never seen again.
I grabbed the chest and got down off the boxes. When I landed I saw another personality a few feet away from me looking at me and smiling. He started to clap his hands and that scared me a little more. Get away from me, I have two chests and I am not afraid to use them!
“Good show master, the old bait and grab trick! I can remember when I used that at your 13th birthday party to get some more cake” the figure said to me.
“Memory, is that you?” I said to the figure with a look of confusion.
He stepped into a little more light “It is I memory, I am here to congratulate you on only needing to capture 3 more aspects of your personality…myself included. Now, do you want to send me back now, or do you want to wait?”
“Actually I want to wait to send you away. You can help me when I find Acrimony and Rapture. They are hiding and they will prove to be the most difficult to capture out of the rest. I will need your assistance. Will you help me?” I said to him with a sincere smile. Pweas, I’ll be your bestest friend!
“I will help you. Now lead the way master, your victory is coming close to happening” Memory said to me.
We walked out of the alleyway and began to search the town again. We would look in every building and there was still no sign of Acrimony or Rapture anywhere. ARGH, Where’s Waldo status again, but now the difficulty is permanently set to insane!
A/N: Will he get the last two personality traits, those being the ones that are his worst? Will I stop posting chapters like crazy? All will be revealed in due time my friends. Next chapter will be up in a while!
