Equestria Girls: The Elements Awaken (UNDER CONSTRUCTION)
Chapter 7: Chapter 7: Escaped From Equestria
Previous Chapter Next ChapterLater during the day, the Human Seven were having lunch in the cafeteria discussing their newest Equestrian student, but it was clear that him flat out saying he was from Equestria didn't fly with them. The thing that was all going on in their minds was that whether he was telling the truth about living with them in peace, or if he had something sinister in that prosthetic. He was still very, very, suspicious. And during that same time, Toxigo was on his way to the lunchroom as well. But he quickly noticed the seven of them in there, and decided to listen in on the conversation because he knew they would probably be talking about him. So a small antenna raised from his left robotic ear so he could listen in, plus it helped with his bat hearing. Suddenly, he managed to hit at a frequency where he could hear them.
"Something doesn't feel right girls. I don't think anyone would admit that they're from another world just like that." Sunset said sounding worried.
"I could tell he was being honest Sunset. But as for why he ponied up, I don't understand that though." Applejack responded.
"Maybe he ponied up because he's like us! OOH! Or-Or, maybe he's like Princess Twilight!" Pinkie said with glee, and a big smile.
"I don't think that's the case Pinkie. But something else feels off about him. Its like he's hiding something else from us."
"What else would he have to hide? He's from Equestria, he's lived a bad life here with the Shadowbolts, and is now starting a new life with Canterlot High. What else is there?" Rainbow Dash asked. While she had fought the forces of evil magic before, she was just as curious as to who he is.
"That's just it. I feel like there's something else off about him, but I just can't put my finger on it." Sunset replied.
"We'll if he is planning on doing something truly nefarious, I'm sure we can stop him just like with the Dazzlings." Rarity reassured. Back outside, Toxigo stood silent thinking about everything they said. They didn't have any signs of good feeling towards him, and he didn't to come off as evil towards them.
"Hm... how can I possibly convince them that I'm not evil? What's the logical choice here..."
At somepoint, Flash and his bandmates Ringo and Brawly Beats entered into the cafeteria room with their instruments, and set up their equipment to the side. Soon some others saw what they were doing and began questioning what they were doing.
"Um, what are you doing?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Oh we're-" Flash then pulled out a slip of paper that was handed to him earlier "-helping make the musical score for another song number. Basically, we've got someone outside waiting, he asked us to help with a song." Flash responded.
"Oooh! Another song!" Pinkie cooed with glee.
Soon, Flash's group started up the music, everyone's focus was on the shadow outside the lunchroom doors. Soon Toxigo's foot kicked them open and he proceeded to enter the cafeteria, and everyone's attention was on him.
"Hello everyone of CHS. I'm sure some of you have heard of the recent activity involving the Dazzlings now back, and wanting revenge?"
Everyone nodded.
"Did the hostage say anything on the use of magic, involved in the attempted rescue?" Tox asked.
Everyone nodded once again and a few murmurs of saying "Yes" spread.
"I'm the one making the magic happen where she was. The magic I used was only to bring in backup to help save her from the revenging Dazzlings."
Everyone then looked at each other worried. All their thoughts were was on whether he would use the magic against them, and Toxigo could tell that's what their thoughts were on.
"Alright, if you're thinking I'm planning on taking over the school, I'm not. In fact, why don't I explain myself. Flash?"
The music kicked up, and Tox began singing.
Toxigo:
When I was younger, just a small little colt
I didn't think I'd be hurt by the Shadowbolts
My entire life I'd been running and hiding
But now Canterlot's the folks I'll be siding
Because you all are the ones with the Magic of Friendship!
Tox then jumped onto one of the lunch tables, continuing to sing.
And back then my momma said.. (What did she say?)
I said "Toxigo I think someday..."
"Maybe as a teen,
you'll get back at the changeling queen"
And Tox immediately leaped off the table doing a ninja roll and made a jump into the air landing on his feet.
Escaped From Equestria... (Escaped from Equestria)
I have a talent for running from death (death)
Escaped from Equestria... (Escaped from Equestria)
Just keep away from my venomous breath (deadly breath)
My hatred is strong for the Shadowbolts
But hating them has done me nothing
Escaped from Equestria
I'm still strong and surviving
Brawly: Here is he girls, he's toxic to the core
Ringo: Watch him drink down that chemical, oh my gosh!
Flash: He's an equine and he'll never ever try to make a kill
Band: Who wants a pony that makes the blood go chill
Oh my gosh, its the queen!
Toxigo: I think not, come on boys, start this scene!
Escaped from Equestria... (goodness gracious)
and I'll enjoy the new life that I picked
Escaped from Equestria, and I've got the hots for the Sun shining chick
When I start extracting the magic
Cinch had been saying to lose would be tragic... (tra-tragic)
And though I may cause you some of you distress
Somewhere and heaven above me, I know that my mom is proud of me...
A tear then came down his eye remembering a horrible flashback of a terrible event that had occurred with his mother.
Toxigo: I escaped from Equestria, and I'm alive...
The song had finally ended, and silence had filled the room. The only sound that came was a little bit of Pinkie giving some applause but everyone stared at her, and she immediately stopped. Eventually someone broke the silence.
"You know, I don't think we understood what you were singing exactly. I lost track of what you were explaining."
Toxigo paused for a moment, took a moment to breath in, and explained. "I lost my mother to a queen bent on ruling and I've been running and hiding until I came across the portal to this realm. Little did I know that the magic I possessed came with me to this world, and I've used it to help fight off the Dazzlings. And in my time that I've lived here, I've been beaten up by the Shadowbolts, I've lost an arm, my ears, an eye, and I may have blown up a car a few nights ago. That is my story to tell. I do not plan on ruling this world, and if I was, I would have done it by now. So, either you can hate me, or just let me live in this world with no conflicting danger whatsoever."
After his explanation, he waited to see if anyone was going to say anything nasty to him or freak out over that he was from Sunset's world. So far, nothing. Until Trixie stood up from her table and said, "The Great and Powerful Trixie doesn't hate you, if anything she's glad you saved her from the fire that broke out yesterday." She replied with a smile.
"Yeah dude, besides, someone who's not gonna take over, that's cool by me." replied Sandalwood.
"So, you're all alright with me attending Canterlot like the rest of you?" Toxigo asked.
Everyone gave a resounding "Yes", and Toxigo gave his thanks and proceeded to just get lunch. He grabbed his lunch tray, and took a table and ate in peace while everyone in the background and other tables talked about their new discovery. Their new student being an entity from Equestria, and not planning on taking over the world? This was their lucky day.
"Well, that came out of nowhere." Twilight reacted.
"But, you guys have to admit, that, was... awesome." Rainbow replied with a smile.
Rainbow then noticed Sunset was blushing again after her comment. She too had been thinking Sunset was liking this new guy...
"Well, even if it was, I really don't think that would convince everyone to..." Sunset stopped to notice Applejack giggling slightly. "What's so funny?"
"I just caught the new guy staring at you."
Sunset gave a glance towards the table he was eating alone at, and found him just focused on his own food.
"He's just staring at his lunch, I don't see what you mean." Sunset replied.
"I mean, I caught him looking at you. For a couple of seconds." Applejack replied. "You know, in all honesty, he kind of does pull a suspicious look."
"Yeah... something else seems off." Pinkie replied, scratching her chin.
"I must admit though, the dark and grim appearance kind of works for him." Rarity stated.
"Yeah, he actually looks like a pretty good looking guy." Sunset commented.
"What if we invite him over to eat with us, I think we could learn a little more from him...?" Twilight offered.
"That's a pretty good idea. I'm gonna ask him." Sunset was about to get up, but then her head turned to see Tox was already standing in front of her, with his food.
"DAH! Um... uh..." Sunset blushed at the sight of him standing right in front of her.
"I overheard your conversation. Alright if I sit?" Tox asked.
"Um... sure, yeah, go right ahead." Sunset hesitantly said.
Tox took kindly to her words and took a seat at the table with them. He took a bite of his sandwich, and once he finished, he looked at the other girls who were awkwardly staring.
"What?" Tox asked.
"How exactly did you hear us?" Rainbow asked.
"See these ears?" Tox gestured to the synthetic ears that were quite obvious for them to notice. "These little babies have advanced my hearing. Ever since I lost my real ears and got these installed, I've been able to pick up every conversation and sound for miles."
"Impressive..." Twilight replied.
Tox couldn't help but smile at Twilight's comment.
"So...how are you enjoying CHS so far?" Fluttershy asked.
"Its been amazing actually. I've gone through this day well, and not one person tried to intentionally kill me. Its very refreshing."
Pinkie accidentally spit-take at that moment, which spit water into Tox's face.
"Oops... Hehe..." Pinkie blushed.
Tox simply wiped the water spit off his face, even though there were a few spots still dripping.
"Sorry about that Toxy. But in all seriousness, someone tried to kill you?" Pinkie asked.
Tox paused at that moment, not saying a word. Until he spoke again.
"Yes. And its not just someone, its a majority of the students at CPA except for Cinch, Dean Cadence, and Twilight. And this one guy everyone called Fancypants, he was at least nice to me." Tox replied with some depression.
Everyone look at each other worried. The look on his face clearly shown he didn't like CPA at all. Even Sunset knew how much he despised going to CPA.
"So... if you don't mind my asking, why is a unicorn from Equestria now residing in this world darling?" Tox immediately stopped eating after hearing that, and he looked up at Rarity with his diamond shaped retina staring into her soul. This question was a question that Tox never liked to answer.
"I don't want to talk about it." Tox replied with a bit of bluntness to it.
"Well how come?" Rarity asked.
"I said I don't want to talk about it, okay?" the tone in Tox's voice raised up a bit, and he immediately left the table exiting the cafeteria.
Rarity couldn't help but slide down low in her chair after hearing the tone.
"I think I might have struck a heartstrings..."
