Chapter 16: Scary's Chapter and The Council

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Scary loved his new home, he was welcomed with open hooves by Wasp and Zanny, had a mutual understanding between him and Symbol, and all the bugs he could eat. He worried about Symbol though, he seemed to be putting himself in too many life threatening situations, but there was nothing Scary could do about that. He sensed that Symbol had a very troubled past and that he was trying to forget it.

Symbol had returned home with a few tears in his eyes and Scary went to comfort him...by sitting on his head and slowly stoking his head with a leg.

"Thanks Scary, I've been through a lot today." Scary made a motion that asked him to continue. "Alright, I'll tell you. It started this afternoon, when I finished my shift at the spa I came across my twin brother, and found out my twin sister had been killed." Scary froze and looked at Symbol with a sorry expression. "It's alright little guy, I'll get over it. I've got other things to worry about, and Abigail wouldn't want me to sulk around the place, not that I would but you get the point." Scary nodded and crawled onto Symbols shoulder to nuzzle his cheek. "Thanks little guy." Symbol yawned. "Well, I should head to bed, we're going to Canterlot tomorrow morning and I'm gonna need my energy for that." Scary tapped a leg on Symbols cheek. "You wanna come with us buddy?" He nodded. "Alright, you can hide in my breast pocket until we board the train." Symbol petted Scary and walked up the stairs to his room. "Goodnight Scary."

Scary stretched his little legs and walked down to the basement where his pillow was. He spun around a few times then lay on his stomach, after giving a small yawn he closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.


Scary was woken up by loud music coming from one of the house in the street. He shook his head and made his way out of the door, mumbling curses in his little language. He crawled through a crack in the neighbours house and made his way through the house until he came across another spider of his species.

"Hey, how's it going Scary?"

"It was going fine until I was woken up by this music."

"You get used to it, I've lived in these walls for months and I even found a mate."

"Really, what's her name?"

"Goes by Frightening, we already have an egg sack on the way."

"Congrats dude."

"Thanks, so, are you here to complain about the noise?"

"I'm just going to try to get the pony living here to turn it down a bit, I don't mind the music, just not this loud."

"Alright, the mare here gets the occasional complaint, so she should understand. Anyway, heard you got taken in by that human thing, how's that going?"

"It's going well, I'm surprised that he guessed my name right, but I have a nice pillow to sleep on and even two changeling roommates."

"That sounds awesome. Look man I gotta go, I'm putting together something for our six month anniversary."

"Ok, I won't keep you, again, congrats." They shook legs and went their separate ways. Scary walked through a mouse hole and saw Vinyl on her turntable. "Of course it was this mare." Scary crawled up to the turntable and started waving a leg at the mare, she thought that he was raving with her so kept going. Scary sighed and looked over the turntable until he found the volume. He spotted it and tried to walk towards it. He found himself walking but staying in the same spot, he noticed that he was walking on one of the vinyl records and jumped off it....sending him across the room.

"Ooooooooh...that's gotta hurt." Vinyl turned off the music and walked over to Scary. "You alright there little guy?" Scary had swirls in his eyes and had imaginary versions of Symbols necklace floating around his head. He shook his head and looked up at Vinyl with an unamused expression. "You somepony's pet or something?" He looked around and found a photo with Symbol in it, he scurried over to it and placed a leg on it. "You're Symbols pet?" He nodded. "Then what are you doing here?" He pointed to her equipment. She looked at it and realised what was wrong...

...or at least she thought she did.

"Oh...you're hungry for some potato chips." Scary just looked at her with a deadpan, he noticed the bag of chips on the turntable and shook his head. He scurried over to a speaker and frantically tapped it. She looked at him confused but then realised what he meant. "Ohhhhhh, sorry about that little guy, everypony around here is used to my late night wubs that I didn't think anypony would mind, I'll head to bed. Sorry about that, here, have a chip for the road." She floated a chip onto his back and yawned.


After finishing his snack he made his way back to bed, he lay down and let out a content sigh. He closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep...then his eyes shot open with the sound of shattered glass as he heard his changeling friends snoring.

"CELESTIA DAMNIT!!!"


The man in the white coat sat in the void (his name is now The Author). As he wrote a few things down in one of his books he heard a voice in the distance.

"CELESTIA DANMIT!!!" The Author blinked and looked at one of his closed books, he opened it to find something else written in it.

"Ok, who messed with my book!?!"


In the white void, a group of cloaked figures sat around a large rectangular table, with The Author sitting at the end.

"So, how have you all been?"

"No small talk Author, we need to be serious here!"

"Sigh...what did I do this time?"

"For one you disobeyed the orders of the council, and two, you created your own universe!"

"Two things right back atcha, one, how can I disobey a council which I created, and two, the higher ups didn't have a problem with it, there are countless universes being created every second with each choice made, what's one more? Besides, we aren't going to end up like the SysAdmins, their ways of management died out thirty cycles ago."

"Then what about the boy, you are meant to send the displaced to Equestria, not create your own!"

"And how has the displacement process been fairing Vox, we send countless heroes into the multiverse but yet the Nightmare Fuel still remains. I've managed to trap it inside of one of my custom dimensions, it's only a matter of time before it breaks free again. I needed to create something that could put it down for good, and bring peace back to the pyra district of the multiverse."

"This goes against everything we stand for, we are meant to keep the darkness at bay, not destroy it. It would upset the balance of light and dark!"

"That's where you are wrong Vox. When this evil is destroyed a new lesser evil shall takes its place naturally. The Nightmare Fuel isn't natural, it in itself is disturbing the balance."

"Thank you Vivi."

"You aren't taking this seriously Author, your little stunt has created countless more universes, we could barely handle the growing numbers already!"

"Why do you think I called in the help of the higher ups, theg sent us the necessary power and a new member to boot, and quite frankly Roden and Marx have done better jobs taking care of their displaced than you lot ever have! Why do you think I spent the time displacing Nathan as Metal Sonic? To make up for your slacking, now you all better get your act together or you can kiss your seats in this council goodbye!"

The room fell silent as Author slowly sat back down. Just then a portal appeared and a skeletal figure walked through it covered with confetti and streamers, he wore a black cloak with a red gem holding it in place. "Heyoo, sorry I'm late Author, had to deal with one of my displaced."

"I see that you managed to get rid of the dovakiin, and joined in on the festivities Marx."

"Yeah, Mecha Sonic has returned to his world once again. I hear you've recently displaced someone, who'd you send them in as?"

"Spoilers Marx, but I think you'll like what I have planned. by the way have you seen Roden?"

"Last time I checked he said he was heading to the castle of shadows to confront your son."

"Very well, if you will all excuse me, I must take my leave. I have to visit my displaced to make sure he makes it to the Multiverse." With that, everyone in the room was gone.
