CHAPTER ELEVEN: Lace Danneggiato

"NOOO!" I roared in anger. I smashed the coffee table into two bits with one swing of my hoof. Violent Inferno was defeated? BY RARITY?

"FUUUCK!" I yelled out and slammed my hoof into the floor. I guess I should "act" again. I ran out to the scene and I began my act.

"What the hell happened here?" I exclaimed.

"Annabel happened." Peter growled. Fuck, he knew. That means he'll go after Annabel... and then she'll tell him... she turned Rarity green! I could imagine it now...

"WELL, IF YOU TURNED RARITY GREEN, WHO SMASHED MY GUITAR?"

"It wasn't me! Dorchester said he had to do something before he left! He broke it!"

Fuck... this wasn't good. I tried to look normal, but I couldn't help it.

"When I find that Annabel... I'll... AAAAGH!" He roared.

"I can fix Rarity and repair your guitar for you, you just go talk to Annabel." Twilight said, she began to clean the mess up.

"No, I'll go talk to Annabel... it was me... I asked her to turn Rarity green... I guess she got too carried away." I said, everypony looked at me in shock.

"You did it?" Peter growled at me.

"In a way, yes, I just wanted to be playful! No harm done! But you guys know Annabel, she gets to excited and shit like this will happen." I laughed nervously. Peter looked at me suspiciously and nodded.

"Fine." He wondered off with Rarity, who was still green. I turned around and began to search for Annabel. I heard her laughing in the corner behind a building.

"You broke his guitar? That was great!" Annabel smirked and pounded me on the shoulder. That actually kind of hurt...

"Yeah, but look what came out of it. Look, he still thinks you did, so whatever you do. DO. NOT. LET. HIM. KNOW." I hissed, I felt Corruption fall out. He roared with laughter that seemed to make the ground tremble.

"See how much we've corrupted Peter! If we can break these ponies far enough, we'll have Luna in no time!" He said, pausing every time he had to catch his breath between laughing. Corruption was right...

"I got it I got it, no need. That little squirt won't know a thing." Annabel smirked, she pretended to zip her mouth shut, only she actually did and throw away a golden key. She snapped her fingers and she was gone in a puff of smoke. I groaned and went back to my house. When I arrived, some mysterious looking fingers where examining my house. When I caught up to them, Corruption gave me a confused look. I heard them say Dorchester, I ducked behind a nearby bush. Gotta love them bushes.

"So... this is the one."

"Yes. This is Dorchester's home."

"Is he inside?"

"No. He was talking to Annabel about the guitar he broke and infused with his power."

"How much more does he have until he reaches Luce Danneggiato?"

I tapped my chin with my hoof. What does that word even mean? I didn't like the sound of that...

"Until Corruption takes hold, and Chiro is disposed of."

"And that will be?"

"I grow tired of your questions, but what is guaranteed, is that the day will come. Just let there be patience until that day."

The two figures stopped talking, I blinked and they were gone. Somepony tapped my shoulder, it was Greg.

"How you likin' your friends? Pretty cool huh?" Greg gave me that dumb smiled again... ugh...

I shoved him off as he began to laugh. I had no time to deal with some high ass pony. I burst through my door, Lace Danneggiato... what does that word even mean? I looked around my entrance, making sure those two figures hadn't made their way into my house. I had to talk to Celestia, I have had enough of Luna for a long time.

I reached the castle in a few short minutes. I sped past the guards and into the main throne room. When I entered, I felt lightheaded, I had run over 3 miles without stopping.

"Princess... Celestia... I... Need... you..." I stopped, I was too tired to talk. My head was pounding. When I had calmed down, I began all over.

"Princess Celestia, I saw two strange ponies looking at my house, they talked about me and something called Lace Danneggiato-" as soon as I said that, everypony in the room stiffened, Princess Celestia looked horrified.

"D-Dorchester... I want you... to..." Celestia stopped again.

"Yes princess?" I was both worried and confused.

Celestia sighed, relaxing her shoulders.

"Just go to your house, it's nothing to worry about at the moment. We'll let you know straight away if something happens. Okay?" Celestia firmly. I nodded my head and turned around. Chiro slipped out, and looked at me worringly.

"What does she mean?" Chiro asked me, she looked really nervous, even shaking.

"I don't know, but whatever it is, I really don't like the sound of this Lace Danneggiato." Corruption said.

When we walked out of the castle I made sure nopony was around to hear us.

"Look, I'm going to put our plans for revenge aside and figure out what this Lace Danneggiato is, and who those ponies are, I will put aside my hate, for now." I stared at Corruption the entire time.

Chiro laughed. "That is good, maybe now you'll give me a chance to show you my power." she winked at me, I nodded back with a grin. We were going to find out who those figures where, and what this Lace Danneggiato had to do with me. We were a team, forced together to reach a common goal. Revenge, Forgiveness, and uncover Lace Danneggiato.

Location: ?

"He saw us. He went to talk to Princess Celestia, damn, looks like we're going to have to put more of our forces onto getting the kid."

"Yeah, I didn't think that it would come to this. What about the prince?"

"We'll use him as... more energy. I just Lace Danneggiato will somehow remember us."

"You mean..."

"I guess he forgot about his past life before being born into that human world."

"The Darkness will not rest until Lace is reborn. I'm glad he remembered their names at least."

"Do not fear, we will send others to rid of the mother and take the kid."

"Wasn't that... Lace's job when he arrived?"

"In some degree, yes. I just want his power not to be depleted when he finally realizes the truth."

"Quiet down! I hear somepony coming!"

"Fuck, it's him. He can't see us! Not yet. Move!"

-~Back with Dorchester~-

I headed towards my house to study more. I was tired, but I didn't care. I opened the door and went into my bedroom. I suddenly realized I hadn't had anymore books to study, I finished them all already. I went over to Canterlot Castle, maybe I could get a few books, and find out more about Lace Danneggiato.
