Angel 7: Chaos out of Control

3:55PM

Adam flew through the air at an incredible speed. His first destination was Ponyville.

"So this is what it feels like to fly. It almost feels like I have actual wings." How ironic to the fact that Adam was an angel. "Oh yeah, it does make some sense." He saw Ponyville below him. "There it is. Time to pay a visit." Adam dove down and landed in the town square. "Hello! It's me. The angel. I'm back." Adam walked through the town. It seemed almost deserted. "The heck is going on here? There's no pony here." Then a voice called out to Adam.

"Adam! Help!" It was Applejack, she was being followed by her siblings. "It's just horrible." Applejack said worried.

"What's wrong?" Adam asked.

"Our farm. Some varmint ran us out 'nd now we cant go back in." She explained.

"Yeah. He was all spiky and was really mean." Applebloom added.

"'nd to make matters worse, Granny Smith is still in the farm house." Big Mac said.

"Spiky? That doesn't sound like it was Cheetah." Adam said and thought about what the apple siblings said. "Don't worry, I'll find this guy, teach him a lesson and get your granny out of there." Adam declared.

"Thanks sugar cube. Want some juice?" Applejack offered a can of applejuice to Adam.

"heh, Thanks." Adam took the can and ran to Sweet Apple acres.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII III

Adam ran down the trail to the Sweet Apple Acres entrance. More foliage had grown in the entrance and now it covered even more of the entrance and was thicker. "Crud, what is with this foliage?" Adam tried ripping it apart. It was too thick to rip up. "It grew back and now it's even worse. Well I should probably clear it if Applejack and her family are going to get back in. But how?"

"Now I'm hearing things." Adam said to himself.

"Hello? Adam Can you hear me?" A female voice called out.

"Adam it's me. Celestia. I'm talking to you through a communication spell." Celestia answered.

"Oh hello your majesty. What's up?" Adam asked.

"The unicorn gloves can also be used as weapons. Point your finger at a target and flick your hand back to shoot." She explained.

"Hmm, I'll try it out." Adam replied. He pointed his finger at the foliage and shot a magical bullet at it. It caused a small amount of the foliage break off. "Cool."

"You can also charge it to send a larger shot at the target." Celestia added. Adam again pointed at the entrance and built up magical power in his hand. After a few seconds he launched a large orb of energy at the vegetation and blasted it all away. It was open once again.

"Alright! Thanks princess, I'll remember that." Adam thanked. He ventured farther into the orchard.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"So he finally made it. I'll admit, 45 minutes isn't so bad." Cheetah said watching Adam enter the orchard from a tree. "Oh, I could strike you down right..." Cheetah's thoughts were interrupted by a voice.

"Cheetah! What are you doing?" Niju's voice rang in his ear.

"GAH! I..." Cheetah screamed in pain.

"I told you to lead the human to Porcupine's territory..." Niju explained.

"I did." Cheetah responded as he continued following Adam.

"..Then go to Piranha's territory and wait there" Niju added.

"Okay! Okay! I'm going." Cheetah obeyed and ran out of the orchard.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"Wow. So many trees. I don't think I'll be able to find that guy in here." Adam said to himself.

"No. But I'll find you." A menacing voice said. Something flew by Adams head and hit the tree in front of him. It looked to be a large spike. Adam turned and saw a spiky animal behind him. "Name's Porcupine. And I'm here to stab some sense into you." He threatened.

"You're not Cheetah. But I guess that doesn't matter. I heard you were causing the Apple family a lot of trouble. I'm going to settle this score with you Porcupine." Adam said.

"I don't think you get the POINT Splice." Porcupine said as he flung another quill at Adam. Adam jumped over the quill and ran toward Porcupine. Adam began shooting magic bullets (not the appliance). Porcupine curled up into a ball protecting himself against the shots. He then rolled at a fast speed toward Adam and he ran out of the way.

"Hey! You're no hedgehog!" Adam yelled.

"Porcupine, hedgehog. Is there really a difference?" The spiky animal said as he lauched more quills in Adam's direction. Adam hid behind a tree to dodge the fire.

"H-hey princess? I-uh...forgot how to fight this guy. Either I can't shoot him or he repels my shots." Adam asked.

"His shell of spines doesn't look too tough. Try getting close to him and fire a charged shot at him." Celestia suggested.

"That'll probably kill him!" Adam exclaimed.

"I know Adam. I'm not exactly fond of killing any form of life either, but it has to be done." Celestia explained.

"Surprise, Surprise." Adam said to himself. "Well, I've killed many animals in my day. Besides my friends are in danger and I'm on a time limit." Adam came out from behind the tree and charged at Porcupine. He began charging the power in his gloves.

"Ooo. Was there a SPIKE in your adrenaline Splice?" Porcupine mocked and fired another quill at Adam. This time it hit Adam in the arm but he continued running at Porcupine as fast as he could. A few more spines were shot at Adam but they skimmed him. Adam finally got to being an inch away from Porcupine then fired the stored magical energy in the animal's side. Porcupine flew back and landed on a patch of dirt and all his spines were gone. Now he looked like a large rat with burn marks.

"Whoa. I was expecting a harder hit than that, but I guess it's better this way." Adam said trying to pull out the quill in his arm while walking toward the farm house to find Granny Smith. Then he saw a red light shining from behind him. He turned around and saw that Porcupine was wearing a bracelet of some kind. "What's that?" Adam asked himself.

"What is it Adam?" Celestia asked questioning what he saw.

"Porcupine was wearing some weird glowing bracelet. I think it's emitting some sort of magical field." Adam described the object. "Hey! Could I use that copy spell you told me about? I bet I could get something cool out of this." Adam suggested.

"I don't know. It seems alright, but be cautious." Celestia warned.

"I'll be fine princess." Adam extended his index finger and touched the bracelet. The red light flowed into Adam's gloves. Suddenly he felt a pain in his head. He gritted his teeth and pounded the ground in frustration.

"Adam are you alright? Did you get hurt?" Celestia asked concerned.

"N-no. Just a head ache. I haven't fought an Alpha in years." Adam replied. "I'm good. I need to find Granny Smith though." Adam said and went to the farm house.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIII

4:00

Applejack and her siblings were standing outside the entrance and watched Adam walk Granny Smith off the property.

"Well ain't you a nice youngin. Just goes to show ye how ya can't go 'round stealin ar apples." Granny Smith thanked.

"I think he was after a lot more than just apples Ms. Smith." Adam said.

"Ya did it! Is he gone now?" Applebloom asked.

"Eyup. It's okay to go in. I checked the area and there aren't any ruffians around here." Adam confirmed.

"Thank y'all so much Adam. Here, have another apple juice can." Applejack offered. Adam was about to reach for it when he heard something.

'dOn'T tAkE iT.' A deep voice said.

"Actually I think I'll be fine with the one you gave me earlier." Adam declined. He shook his head. "Wait. Did you hear something?" Adam asked.

"Nnope." Big Mac said.

"Huh. Wierd." Adam said and began walking away. Thinking about the voice in his head.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Adam was in the town square again. He sat on a bench wondering what was going on. Then he felt a tug on his leg. Adam looked down and saw a bunny pulling his pant leg.

"Whoa! Hey there little guy. What's with you?" Adam asked. The bunny pointed down one of the streets leading out of the town. "Something happening over there?" Adam asked. The bunny nodded. "Lead the way then." Adam said as the bunny quickly hopped down the street.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

4:15

The two ended up outside Fluttershy's residence. Adam could hear crying coming from nearby. "Some pony made Fluttershy cry huh?" Adam asked the bunny. The bunny nodded. "Thanks little guy, I'll take care of who ever did this." Adam ran toward the source of the crying.

"Wah ha!" Fluttershy cried as she kneeled near a drained lake.

"Fluttershy! What happened?" Adam asked. Fluttershy got up and tackled Adam.

"Oh Adam, you're okay. Thank goodness." Fluttershy cried as she got off him. "This lake, the water's all gone. (Sniff) The fish and other animals that lived in here have nowhere to go.(Sniff) I took some of them back to my cottage and I'm keeping them in a couple containers of water. (Sniff) B-but some of them... GOT SUCKED DOWN wi-with the water!" She explained crying still.

Adam looked down and saw a cave at the bottom of the dried lake. "I think I know where the water went. Stay up here Fluttershy. You'll be safer up here." Adam said as he jumped down to the bottom.

"P-please be safe." She said as she watched him walk into the drain.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIII

After a minute of walking down the cave, Adam noticed something strange about the interior. He looked as far down as he could shinning light from his gloves onto the floor. "Is the ground here... metallic?" Adam walked forward more and saw that the rocky gravel was now a metallic floor. "What's this here for? It's like who ever put this here was actually trying to put a drain in the lake." Adam said and continued.

Later on he finally made it to the end of the strange entrance and saw something he never expected. "Whoa!" There was a whole structure in the large cave and some blue lighting shined from the ceiling. There was also some water falling from it as well. On the ground were several pools of water. Some with aquatic life in them. "I'll bet all the water in Equestria is going to be flowing down here." Adam said to himself.

"Ya got that right matey." A pirate-accented voice rang out. Adam looked around.

"H-hello? Anypony down here?" Adam asked and proceeded cautiously to the largest basin of water. "Somepony in there?" Adam called. 'Don't get too close, I doubt Luna can save me from drowing this time.' Adam thought to himself.

"Ar! I best make ya walk the plank fer cominin in ta my territory ya skinned ape." The voice called again, this time Adam heard it coming from behind him. He turned and saw a large fish behind. "Ever ate a fish head?" The fish asked.

"No." Adam replied getting ready for an unexpected attack.

"Well then ever see a fish bite a head off?" He asked.

"No, and I don't have any attention in watching that happen either." Adam replied.

"Well ya don't have to watch the action. Ya gotta be part of the action!" The fish then showed Splice his teeth.

"Piranha! Not surprised." Adam said while ducking to dodge Piranha jumping out at him. "Oh is that your startegy? This'll be easy." Adam mocked.

"I'll send ya to Davy Jones Locker ya land lubber!" Piranha jumped out again at Adam only to be caught in Adam's leviatating ability and thrown against a far wall. "GAH! Water p-please! NO!"

"Yeah right. I'm not stupid, I know fish need water." Adam said as he walked toward Piranha. Adam noticed something glowing in Piranha's gill. Adam cautiously pulled it out. "You have one of these too?" Adam asked.

"Yeah so what? Don't like it. You can go and get sunk for all I care." Piranha said still trying to get to at least a little puddle of water.

"Last time I absorbed energy from this I got a really huge boost from it. I think I'll try it again." Adam said to himself as his gloves absorbed the red light. Again Adam felt a pain in his head as he absorbed the energy.

"Adam! That's the second time! Are you sure you're okay?" Celestia's voice asked.

"IsN't ThAt QuEsTiOn AnNoYiNg YoU?" That mysterious voice asked.

"Celestia I'm alright!" Adam said in annoyance. "I'm trying to find what ever it is that brought all the water down here." Adam explained then shook his head. "Wait, princess? Did I just yell at you?" He asked.

"You did." Celestia said sternly yet with a hint of concern. "What has gotten into you?" She asked.

"I don't know, and I'm sorry. I..." And was about to continue his apology when he saw something at the bottom of the pool that Piranha was originally in. It looked to be a large plug of some kind. "I think I found something." Adam looked down into the water and gulped nervously. "I gotta go in the water and I can't swim. But I have to do this." Adam jumped into the water and headed toward the plug. He tried his best pulling it out but it wouldn't budge.

"AlLoW mE tO hElP." The voice said to Adam. Suddenly Adam's gloves turned from their purple color to a new gray color and he felt a surge of strength flow through his arms. In no time at all, Adam pulled the cork out. Expecting to be sucked down the drain Adam began treading away. Amazingly the water seemed to be pushing him out ward.

"That makes no sense." Adam said reaching the surface.

"WhAt FuN iS tHeRe In MaKiNg SeNsE?" The voice asked.

"Guess you're right... Wait what?" Adam asked himself and the voice he had heard. The water rose even more eventually overflowing the pools and raged into the caverns through which they had been drained. Adam was dragged through the tunnel back to the lake near Fluttershy's cottage. "AAAAAAHHHHHH!" Adam gurgled as he was carried away.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

4:25

The lake began to fill up again and Fluttershy was relieved to see it. She then saw a body floating on the other side. "OH MY! Adam!" Fluttershy flew over the water to get to the other side faster. "Are-are you okay!?" She asked pulling him out. A bunch of Fluttershy's animals started approaching them.

"Guh! ye-yeah, thanks a lot." Adam responded coughing up water. Then Fluttershy hugged him tightly. Now Adam couldn't breath because of the tight hug. "Flu-Fluttershy ple...!"

"WhAt ArE yOu DoInG? TeLl HeR tO lEt Go! Be AsSeRtIvE!" The voice suggested.

"G-get off." Adam said softly. Fluttershy continued to hug him. "GET THE HELL OFF!" He yelled out. Fluttershy jumped off and gasped. She looked confused and afraid. The nearby animals ran off in fear. "THE last thing I need is A HUG...!" He said shaking his head to dry off like a dog. He looked at Fluttershy after waving his hair back and forth. Then he snapped back to reality. "Wa-wait Fluttershy..What happened?" He asked.

"Y-you...(sniff)...y-yelled at me..." She tried saying.

"I- what? Dammit! It happened again!" Adam said.

"Wh-what?" Fluttershy asked acting more confident.

"I'm really sorry Fluttershy, but something weird is happening Fluttershy. Be careful, and go find the rest of your friends, I think Applejack is still at Sweet Apple Acres." Adam told her.

"O-okay, J-just please don't do that again. P-please?" Fluttershy begged before running away still sniffling. Adam watched as she ran off.

"Why am I doing this?" Adam asked. "Well, I wonder where the next Alpha is."

"I'm right here." A voice said.

"Wha?" Adam asked and looked behind him. "Cheetah!" Cheetah pounced on Adam and nailed him down on the ground.

"Don't be such a drag Adam." Cheetah said and clamped Adam's shirt in his jaw. He ran at his super speed and dragged Adam with him.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXX

4:33

"LET GO OF ME!" Adam demanded.

"What ever you say!" Cheetah said and let go of Adam. Adam went off rolling on the grassy fields. He came to a stop and tried to stand up.

"Ow... geez, first I get flushed, then I dragged through a forest and a dirt road at super sonic speeds and now... my clothes." Adam looked himself over. His clothes were torn, worn and dirty. "Don't care." Adam looked around and saw a city of clouds above him. "That must be Cloudsdale! I wonder why Cheetah dropped me off here though..." Adam said to himself.

"Adam? Are you alright?" Celestia asked.

"Yeah. I'm under Cloudsdale right now." Adam replied.

"Good, in fact I think the next Alpha may be up there." Celestia announced.

"Great. I'll just fly up there with the cape." Adam said.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Make sure you wear the cape the whole time you're up there. We don't want you falling through the clouds." Celestia reminded.

"Sister... is he okay?" Luna asked.

"I don't know. Physically he's been wounded a lot. And those bracelets seem very suspicious. Every time he absorbs energy from them he seems to act more and more aggressive." Celestia responded.

"Well what are we going to do? We need to tell him to stop absorbing energy from them." Shining Armor suggested.

"You're right. Adam?" Celestia called.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Adam had gone to the edge of Cloudsdale. "Looks kinda peaceful... and quiet. But I don't understand. Where are the Avains?" Adam asked.

"Whoa!" A voice yelled out.

"Hello?" Adam asked.

"Cool. I guess Minus was right." It was gryphon speaking. She had normal colored feathers and fur, but the feathers around her eyes were purplish.

"What?" Adam asked her.

"Sup, I'm Gilda." She introduced herself.

"Um. Sup, so do you know where everypony else is?" He asked.

"Yeah I do. But that's not important, you wanna find that freaky hawk guy right?" Gilda asked.

"Indeed. How'd you know?"

"I know... people." She responded. "Follow me." Gilda lead Adam through the deserted streets.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Why isn't he responding?" Celestia asked.

"Maybe it's that strange energy he has absorbed. It's stopping us from communicating with him." Luna suggested.

"We have to keep trying! We have to warn him." Celestia said.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

4:40

"Thanks Gilda." Adam said to her.

"No prob dude." She said walking away. Adam looked upon a large metallic structure surrounded by clouds.

"Hey wait!" Adam called to Gilda. "You said something about a guy named Minus. Do you..?" He tried asking.

"Um...no." She responded nervously. She obviously was hiding something. She walked away faster.

Adam shook his head and forgot about it. He looked at the structure. "So Hawk's here? Does he never learn? Okay this time I'm definitely cutting his wings off." Adam said and flew to the structure.

0000000000000000000000000000

"Ad-Adam? CAN YOU -HERE ME!?" Celestia called.

"Oh, princess how are you? Anything weird going on with you guys over there?" Adam asked.

"It's with you Adam. We noticed something happening to you whenever you absorb energy from those bracelets. And we've been trying to contact you for a few minutes." Celestia said.

"ThErE's NoThInG wRoNg WiTh YoU." That voice said again.

"What're you talking about? I didn't notice anything weird. What're you talking about?" Adam asked obviously lying.

"Adam don't; there's something wrong with you. Come back to Canterlot!" Celestia said.

"WHAT!? Are you saying I'm retarded or something? And why should I? I have less than a day to stop these guys." Adam said angrily.

"Adam look, just don't absorb energy from the bracelets anymore." Celestia said.

"YoU nEeD tHiS eNeRgY! gEt As MuCh As YoU cAn." The voice demanded.

"If I'm going to stop the Lupines then I need as much energy as I can. I'm not going to let them hurt you or anypony else anymore." Adam said as he continued up the structure.

"Oh Adam." Celestia said before ending the conversation.

000000000000000000000000000

4:50

"Whoa!" Adam yelled almost stumbling over a small platform. "Don't want to fall." Adam warned himself as he looked down to the ground. "I can see Cloudsdale from here. Wow I must be high...up." Adam continued climbing when he found a metallic floor at the top of the cloud wall he was on.

"There you are!" Hawk's voice rang out.

"Well look who it is." Adam said mockingly finally able to stand again.

"I guess the other Alphas gave you some trouble? After all, look at you. Your clothes are barely holding together." Hawk said sounding board.

"And look at you, your feathers grew back rather quickly." Adam said. Hawk just continued staring at the human. "Do you even remember what happened yesterday? I kicked your feathery ass." Adam said frustrated.

"Pft. I remember yesterday Splice. It's what's gonna happen today that matters. And do you know what's gonna happen today?" Hawk asked.

"Uhhh, you're gonna be beaten a second time?" Adam answered cleverly.

"No. Yesterday I saw what it was like to not have primary feathers. Today you're gonna see what it's like not to have a pair of arms!" Hawk said furiously and dove down at Adam, he seemed a lot faster and more aggressive than he was the day before.

"WHOA! Chill cry baby!" Adam said ducking. Hawk began flapping his wings creating a draft of wind. "What're you trying to do? Blow me off the side of the platform?" Adam asked starting to feel worried. He slow began sliding on the floor.

"Uh, duh! And don't think you can just fly away after falling off. I got avians hanging around here ready to peck you up!" Hawk yelled over the loud wind. Adam only had a few inches before he would fall off.

"HeY! wItH yOuR bOoTs, RuN! cHaOs Is On YoU'rE sIdE!" The voice spoke up.

"Thanks. I'm gonna run you down Hawk!" Adam said feeling confident again. He began trying his hardest to get closer to Hawk and constantly fighting against the force of the wind.

"What?" Hawk said as he noticed Adam getting closer to him. "Oh no! Not now. Yesterday you got me from far away and now you wanna get all close and personal?" He asked annoyed. Adam reached out toward Hawk trying to grab him. Hawk tried pushing himself back trying to avoid Adam, but to no avail. Adam caught Hawk in his palms. The wind stopped and the sky seemed to brighten up. "Le-let go of me!" Hawk yelled struggling.

"How bout this? Give me that bracelet of yours and I won't hurt you too badly." Adam said.

"It's not a bracelet! It's a talon ring!" Hawk yelled out.

"Don't care." Adam said slipping the 'ring' off.

0000000000000000000000000000 0000

"ADAM! NO!" Celestia cried out. It was too late. More energy began to flow through his fingers. "Why won't he listen?" Celestia asked.

"Sister! I thought I heard something." Luna said.

"Like what?" Celestia asked.

"A rather ominous voice, it spoke to Adam." Luna described.

"I didn't hear anything. Do you know what it said?" Celestia asked curiously.

"No. It was muffled." Luna said.

Cadence walked up to her aunts. "Maybe every time he absorbs energy, whoever is speaking inside Adam becomes stronger. Adam heard them before but we couldn't and now that he absorbed more energy we can." Cadence suggested.

"We need to find out about that energy he keeps absorbing, strange thing is that this energy seems familiar to me for some reason." Celestia said to her self thinking about what, or whom it could be.

0000000000000000000000000000 00

"I FEEL GREAT!" Adam said standing over an unconscious Hawk. A voice called for Adam.

"Adam! Get me outta here!" It was Rainbow Dash. She was trapped in a glass container.

"Dash! What's up?" Adam asked casually.

"Why are you so calm? Look at you! And look at me! Please help me!" Dash pleaded.

"Alight, I will." Adam said walking up to the container. "Stand back!" Adam yelled. Dash did so. Adam shot at the container with his magic and the glass shattered. Rainbow was now free.

"Ah yea! Thanks dude." Dash thanked landing in front of Adam. She looked behind him. "Wait. Is that the Pegasus cape?" She asked curiously.

"Huh? Yeah. Why?" Adam asked.

"That thing is legendary! And you're wearing it! Awesome. Hey wanna get a bite to eat? After all that fighting and stuff you must be hungry or something, just watching it made me hungry." Dash offered.

"DoN't BoThEr. YoU rEaLlY wAnT tO wAsTe YoUr TiMe?" The voice asked.

"No way Dash. In case you haven't noticed, a lot of stuff has been goin down around Equestria. I don't have time to do anything now, especially socialize." Adam refused annoyed.

"Well geez sorry. Just wanted to know." Dash said somewhat offended. "Well. See ya round I guess." She said flying away.

"Adam?" Celestia called.

"Oh hey princess. 3 down, 3 to go. And I feel great!" Adam said.

"You've made excellent progress, but it's time to come back. You need to healed and... examined." Celestia said.

"WhAt Do YoU tHiNk AdAm? Go BaCk? Or ShOw ThEsE lUpInEs WhAt YoU'rE mAdE oF?" The voice asked.

"What is with you guys and wanting me to go back to Canterlot? Don't you know we're running out of time?" Adam asked. He jumped out of the fighting area and glided to an urban looking area.

"We're worried for you!" Celestia responded.

"I'm worried for you too! And everypony else! WHY DON'T YOU GET THAT!?" Adam yelled.

"Adam calm down, look; fly over to the city in front of you. There should be a cave in the outskirts. Just remember, if you find an Alpha and defeat him, don't absorb energy form their bracelet." Celestia reminded.

"ShE's JuSt jEaLoUs."

"You're just upset I'm becoming more powerful." Adam retorted.

"Wh-what? No. You THINK you're getting more powerful Adam. You're just feeling a sense of being more powerful. It isn't helping you at all." Celestia warned.

"Yeah right. Talk to ya later Celestia." Adam rather rudely.

0000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000

"He's lucky he's being controlled. If he was doing that on his own accord he'd be in the dungeon right now." Shining Armor said.

"We have to remember he doesn't realize what he's doing." Celestia announced.

"I heard the voice again!" Luna exclaimed.

"I think I heard something too. This isn't good." Celestia said becoming more worried. "And that voice, sounds familiar."

0000000000000000000000000000 000

5:15

Adam landed at the mouth of cave that led below the cities of Las Pegasus and Applewood. Inside it was warm and dusty. Adam of course forgot about all that and went in anyway.

"Guh. Alright. Where's this Alpha hiding out?" Adam asked himself.

"Hey! Over here!" A voice called out.

"Anypony in here?" Adam responded.

"Yeah, over here!" Adam followed the mysterious voice.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

After going through a few rather warm caves, Adam got to large cavern surrounded by quick sand.

"You in here?" Adam called for the speaker.

"Stop, and look up!" The voice yelled. Adam did so and found a snake slithering down the crevasses of the cavern walls. "About time you ssssshowed. Ssssso before we do thisss you mussst tell me sssomething." Cobra said before finally stopping a few feet from Adam. "Did the other Alphasss have to wait this long to fight you? Ssseriously I was down here for hours waiting for sssomething interessting to happen." CObra said showing of his fangs.

"Well I'm here now! But what kinda of trouble have you been causing?" Adam asked.

"The plan wasss to hollow out the foundationsss of thosse nearby citiess so they would collapsse in on themsselves. You ssee thesses cavess? They were no where near this deep before. If you hadn't come by my Scalene troops would've gotten to the city by the day'sss end." Cobra explained. "But waiting for you hasss really bored me out. I feel like taking a nap or ssomething."

"Well that certainly makes my job easier. So how bout this, go ahead and take your nap and I'll take you back to Canterlot where you'll be properly prosecuted." Adam said.

"Heh, nah. Thanksss for the offer anyway. But you know what. Maybe a nap isn't what I need, maybe it's a matter of sinking my teeth into something. I'M SSSSTARVING!" Cobra yelled pouncing out at Adam at lighting speed. Adam shrank back and jumped out of the way.

"GEEZ! You're fast!" Adam exclaimed.

"Yep, from now on your dealing with the fasstesst Alphasss you'll ever sssee! Now come over here and let me finish you!" Cobra demanded. He saw Adam was trying to avoid him as best as he could. "Come on. I don't bite! Oh wait, yeah I do. But if you really wanna ssstay over there than try this!" Cobra spit out a line of venom at Adam.

"Poisonous spit?" Adam asked himself a he dodged the shot. The venom landed on the ground melted through the ground. "That's more like acid!" Adam looked to see Cobra pouncing at him again. Adam was up against the wall.

"FiRsT a GaMe Of DoDgE bAlL, tHeN sTaRt PrAcTiCiNg YoUr KnOtS." The voice in Adams head hinted.

"I always did like dodge ball." Adam said and devoiusly smiled. He ducked and Cobra ended up getting his teeth stuck in the rocks.

"NAW. nneaAW! GAHT Meh uoff!" Cobra said. Adam got from under the snake and proceeded to tie the rest of body into a series of knots. Adam found the energy bracelet around Cobras neck.

"Another one, well, I got stronger and faster, and I learned how to tie knots I never knew existed, that last one was kinda weird but still. I'm gonna try it anyway maybe I'll get some new ability out of it." Adam said to himself absorbing the energy ignoring Celestia's pleads.

"Well Cobra, looks like you took in more than you could chew." Adam said mockingly as he walked out of the caves.

00000000000000000000000000

"He did it again!" Cadence yelled out.

"Cadence relax. Something is controlling him. He didn't have to go do that to that snake and I doubt he would try it if he was in control of his actions." Celestia reassuringly said.

Suddenly the ground began to shake.

"Whoa! Was that an earthquake?" Shining asked.

"This is very strange." Celestia spoke. The ground shook again but more furiously this time. "Why is this happening? Adam!"

"Almost done Princess. Got two more and Equestria will be Lupine free." Adam said confidently. Then he heard yells in the background. "Princess is that you? What's going on?" Adam asked.

"Something terrible is happening here in Canterlot. I think an earthquake is occurring!" Celestia spoke out.

"This isn't a trick to make go back there is it? Because I told you, I'm not going back until I'm done." Adam corrected.

"I'm serious! We're in danger!" Celestia yelled out.

"Okay, okay I'm going!" Adam said applying the cape again. He flew off toward the Mountain of Canterlot.

0000000000000000000000000000 000

"Adam's heading over here now. This is a good opportunity to speak with him. Shining Armor get a few of the few of the guards to meet with Adam." Celestia told Shining.

"B-but princess. You heard what Cheetah said. We can't get involved with the fighting and Canterlot is in danger! We can heal him or anything at the time." Shining reminded. The ground began shaking furiously.

"You're not going to fight alongside Adam, we just need you to talk to him for a bit. Let him know we still believe in him and that we still support him. And try to bring that strange voice to his attention." Celestia elaborated.

"We'll do our best your majesty." Shining said bowing the running to recruit some volunteers for the rendezvous.

"Sister, may I go with them? I wish to see Adam as well." Luna requested.

"Are you sure Luna? It's dangerous and Adam as you know_ isn't himself." Celestia warned.

"I don't care, I want to see how he is." Luna restated. Celestia gave her little sister a small smile and nodded.

"Very well. Find Shining Armor first and tell him." Celestia said to Luna. Luna nodded and ran to catch up with Shining.

5:30

Adam suddenly stopped in the air and fell. "What the? Why did I just stop flying?" Adam asked picking himself up. "Okay let's take a look around and find out what exactly is going on." Adam walked up the trail to Canterlot when he heard what sounded to be clopping hooves. Adam looked up the road to see Shining Armor and other guards running up to him. "Greetings sirs. What are you doing here?" Adam asked.

"Good! You made it. So Adam you look pretty beat up, you okay?" Shining asked.

"I'm fine. And remember captain that's Commander Adam Splice." Adam joked.

"This isn't funny Adam. Look I just wanted to see if you're alright." Shining explained.

"Commander Adam!" Adam repeated.

"Fine. Commander sir." Shining weakly saluted. "Look you know that voice in your head?" He asked.

"Yeah, what about it?" Adam asked raising an eyebrow.

"Has it been telling you to do rather chaotic things?" Shining inquired.

"Maybe." Adam said innocently.

"Dammit Adam STOP! Answer the question." Shining scolded.

"Yeah so? What're ya gonna do arrest me? I'm the only hope you have." Adam reminded.

"I know that. But we're concerned about you. You're starting to become just as big a threat as the Lupines. You're-you're becoming corrupt." Shining explained. Then they heard some pony running up to them.

"Adam!" Luna cried out to the human. "Oh thank my sister you're alright! I missed you." Luna said hugging him.

"Yes of course Luna. can I go now?" Adam asked. "I have two more Alphas and I think this is waste of time." Adam admitted.

Luna let go of Adam and stepped back looking at him confused. "Please Adam we wish to help you." Luna said.

"For the hundredth time! I''m fine. Now what's this I hear about earthquakes?" Adam asked.

"Hey yeah! They stopped." Shining said realizing that. All they noticed was a lot of blast and crashing noises coming from a cave. "That looks suspicious."

"And now I know where to go. Excuse me." Adam said walking toward the cave. Then Luna stepped in front of him.

"NO! Stop!" Luna yelled in her traditional voice.

"Out of the way Princess. I need to get in there." Adam responded.

"YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE UNTIL WE DISCOVER THE FORCE CORRUPTING YOU!" Luna yelled.

"If you don't move I swear I will..." Adam threatened before Luna yelled at him.

"YOU THINK YOU'RE SO POWERFUL? YOU AREN'T! YOU THINK YOU'RE POWERFUL AND I STILL HAVE MORE AUTHORITY THAN YOU!" Luna clarified yelling. "NOW St-" Luna was about to scold when all of a sudden. SLAP. Adam slapped Luna. She put her hoof up to her face, it felt warm. The soldiers all gasped at the sight. Tears began to form in her eyes. "I-I thought you-you were better than this." Luna sniffled.

"Get out of here! I could care less what you think!" Adam commanded. Luna began crying and ran past Adam and the group of guards. "Same for you guys! I don't want to see any of you until I've finished." The guards looked back Adam. Shining walked up to him.

"Y-you, what is wrong with you! You can't do that!" Shining scolded. Adam just starred at him with a blank expression. "You know what, fine! We just came here to help and this is how you greet us? YOU SLAPPED THE PRINCESS, YOU BASTARD!" He yelled. Adam just turned and walked to the cave. "Yeah go ahead! DON'T BOTHER COMING BACK! I don't care if you're being controlled or not." Shining said turning and walking back up the road. The other guards hesitated to follow Shining.

0000000000000000000000000000 0000000

5:45

Adam was now deep within the caves. The cave was closing in on it self.

"It doesn't matter, you didn't need them anyway." The voice in Adam's head said. It was now totally clear and distinguishable.

"Okay before I move on, who are you? Why are you making me do this?" Adam asked.

"All I can tell you is that I love Chaos, that's it. But you've done well, you wouldn't mind helping me out even further would you?" The voice asked.

"Why? Haven't you done enough?" Adam asked.

"Remember. Power? Authority over reality? Your deepest desires and wishes coming true? Stick with me and you can have it all!" The voice cheered. Adam pondered the offer.

"Sounds good. Just let me defeat these last two Alphas and I'll be all set." Adam said.

"WE'LL be all set. And if you need any help then just ask." The voice said.

"Alright then, mind giving me some cover? The cave is collapsing and the last thing I need is a concussion." Adam requested.

"Very well. Just hurry." The unicorn gloves turned and even darker shade of gray. And now Adam could produce a large shield around him. He continued through the caves.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"So here you are!" Adam yelled watching over an antelope smashing into the walls of the cave creating vibrations.

"You're here! Bout time!" The antelope said looking at Adam. "Welcome to the heart of Equestria Splice." Adam tensed up and walked forward toward Antelope. He noticed Adam was shaking. "What's up Splice? You all shaken up?" He asked.

"Can't I talk to an Alpha without hearing any puns? You all think you're so cool. Well now I'm gonna put you in you're place." Adam said confidently.

"Yeah take all the fun out." Antelope said charging at Adam. Adam just walked out of his trajectory and Antelope smashed into the wall.

"HAHAHA! Is that all you do? Run into stuff? Just rage around and try to crush your enemies like a-" Adam mocked then noticed dirt fall upon him. Adam looked up to see a boulder fall down above him. Adam ran away to avoid getting crushed. The boulder was rather wide and thick. It was amazing how antelope could pull off making it fall. Adam coughed and looked around. If he didn't do something soon the whole mountain could cave in on them. "H-hold on..I didn't..mean to.." Adam tried saying when Antelope ran him over.

"Don't dare to take it back!" Antelope yelled. Adam tried to avoid Antelope again this time jumping over him. Antelope ran into the wall again causing more boulders to fall.

"Cut it out! You'll bring this whole place down!" Adam pleaded.

"WHAT'S IT TO YA!? Is it gonna CRUSH your spirits?" Antelope furiously said running toward Adam.

"Oh man! Hey voice in my head! Help me please?" Adam pleaded.

"Fine, fine. Use the psychokinesis spell to grab a piece of rock and stop it from hitting you." The voice suggested.

At first Adam struggled to do so but was able to catch a boulder and stop it from falling on him. Antelope was still charging at him. Then Adam had an idea. "Hey Antelope! You want a pun? Then I'll give you a pun!" Adam yelled still holding the boulder. Antelope stopped a few feet from Adam.

"Really?" Antelope asked sarcastically. "What is it? I'm dying to know."

"I'm going to Rock you! Like a hurricane!" Adam yelled throwing the boulder at Antelope. Antelope being so close had no time to react and was crushed under the rock. The boulder itself shattered and revealed Antelope's remains. "Well now you know, and now you've died." And again a bracelet was on Antelope's leg.

"You know what to do and hurry up and get out of here. I don't want you being killed when you're one piece away." The voice said. Adam absorbed the energy again and felt the biggest pain in his head.

"OW! Did a rock just hit me or something?" Adam asked. "I need...to get out of here." Adam told himself evading the dusty cave.

0000000000000000000000000000 00

One evasion from a collapsing cave later.

6:10

Adam was now outside the mouth of the cave. He was covered in dirt, his uniform was in shreds and he still had a pain in his head. "M-maybe, I should... go to Canterlot and..." Adam tried speaking before fainting.

0000000000000000000000000000 00

"Oh no! He fainted. He's in serious trouble this time. I didn't think it would happen so quickly!" Celestia yelled, her eyes becoming watery.

"Well serves him right! After blowing us off like that. Like I said, I don't care." Shining said frustrated. cadence walked up to him.

"SHINING ARMOR! I can't believe you! He's our friend! I know what he did to Aunt Luna was beyond bad but still. He doesn't know what's going on." Cadence scolded her husband.

"B-but honey."

"NO BUTS! And you certainly won't be seeing mine if you're intending to act like this." cadence threatened.

"What? No! Please not that! I wouldn't last that long without.." Shining tried not to be too revealing remembering that Celestia was in the room. "Our.. special husband/wife time." Shining pleaded while bliushing.

"HELP HIM! He could be dying." Cadence commanded looking down on him.

"Okay, okay I will. I'm sorry." Shining said walking toward the palace exit. Cadence looked at her aunt.

"Pft. Stallions,." The two said in unison jokingly. Celestia walked out of the room to her quarters.

"Aunt Celestia? Where are you going?" Cadence asked.

"I need to write some letters, there are some rather special mares must speak to." Celestia said somewhat cheerfully. She walked out of the room to leave Cadence to watch over Adam.

0000000000000000000000000

6:30

"He's still there!" Shining yelled.

"But sir, what about what the Alpha said about helping Commander Splice?" An earth pony guard inquired.

"There's only one Alpha left, I doubt there's that much of a threat anymore." Shining answered. They made it to the bottom of the trail when they saw something standing near Adam's body.

"Puh-thetic. You could barely handle the other five and you actually needed to get help from your little friends." It was Cheetah. "I even developed a deep respect for you over the last few hours. Going across most of the kingdom within less than a day, fighting the last five Alphas without help, coming up with stupid yet clever puns." Cheetah listed. "But then you just.. ruined the ride. I mean Adam Splice, commander of the Atomics squadron requesting for help? How LAME! You stupid weak human!" Cheetah mocked with a roaring voice.

"HEY! LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Shining cried out.

"Oh look if it isn't the littlest pony rescue party. How cute. What're you gonna do? I'm faster, stronger and unlike you I can sink my teeth in to your hide." Cheetah threatened. "Get over here and heal him so he and I can have a legitimate battle." Cheetah demanded. Shining walked forward cautiously. He lowered his horn to Adam's body and let a stream a magic flow over his body. After the spell finished, Shining walked away quickly still facing the human. Adam began to wake up. Cheetah was balancing something on his back. He took off with his paw. It was a bottle shaped container.

"Wakey wakey wittle baby, and don't forget to have your formula!" Cheetah said placing the opening of the bottle into Adam's mouth. Adam gagged at unexpectedly feeling liquid go down his throat. Cheetah didn't remove the bottle until all the liquid was gone. "That's right. Drink up. You're gonna need all your strength for this."

Adam finished swallowing the liquid and sat up coughing. "wh-What happened?" Adam was fully awake. "CHEETAH!" Adam yelled out noticing the animal next to him.

"That'll have to do. You ready to do this Splice?" Cheetah asked. Adam turned around to see Shining Armor and the guards standing behind him. "Or do you wanna go play with your little ponies? You still got 6 hour left." Cheetah offered.

"Go with Cheetah, He has my last remain! Forget the ponies!" The voice said to Adam. Adam looked away from Shining and the others and walked toward Cheetah.

"Adam no!" Shining cried out.

"Keep up if you can. First one to Canterlot square is the one that gets to rule it!" Cheetah said. He began running up the trail to the capital city. Adam for the first time used the Earth boots to try to catch up with Cheetah.

"Adam why?" Shining asked as he and the guards were left alone.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

6:32

The two racers made it to the city square.

"Well how bout that! You actually caught up. I didn't think the speed of those boots was enough to match me." Cheetah falsely congratulated.

"Watch it Cheetah. Take it from me. You shouldn't be so over confident with all those special abilities of yours." Adam looked down in shame realizing all the stiff he did. "It-it can ruin you." Adam said sadly.

"WHAT!? DON'T Tell me your not going to listen to me anymore! If it wasn't for me you'd be at the bottom of a lake or in pieces falling from the sky or crushed under a bunch or rocks!" The voice screamed.

"I'm not going to let it control me from now on! My friends need me and you and Niju are going down!" Adam said in a proud voice.

"But I can help! Here I'll show you that you need me! Use a time stopping spell to pause the little game you two are going to be playing!" The voice suggested.

"We'll see about that." Adam said pointing his finger at Cheetah.

"You think you can still beat me Splice? Well FINE!" Cheetah suddenly appeared to Adam's side. "Lets" Now behind him, "See" to his right "You" every time he spoke he was in a different place, "hit" he ran again, "ME!" Adam suddenly landed fell and landed on his back. "What ya gonna do when I come for you Splice? You can never move as fast as me!" Cheetah bragged.

"Well then looks like I have no choice." Adam prepared to snap his fingers. "Guess I'll have to stop you from moving at all!" SNAP. Then all of life seemed to stay still. Cheetah was frozen in the air. "Wow! That worked." Adam said charging the magic in his gloves. "Even though you can't hear me, I have a question for you Cheetah. What's the opposite of Christopher Walken?" Adam asked pretending to listen to Cheetah. "CHRISTPOHER REEVE!" Adam yelled out firing the shot at Cheetah. The shot hit him and time resumed. A large bruise was seen covering all of Cheetah's torso. "Great now for that last bit of energy."

"Well done! I'll admit your a great fighter my friend. What's your name again?" The voice in Adam's head asked.

"Commander Adam Splice. Now can I learn your name?" Adam requested.

"Very well. I think you've earned. My name is Dis..."

000000000000000000000000000

"Discord!" Celestia said angrily as she walked in the room. "Those lupines are clever, but I never suspected them to stoop this low." She said.

"Why didn't we see it before?" Shining asked.

"HEY! GUYS!" Adam said happily.

"Hello Adam, are you alright?" Celestia asked.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"I am, and check it out! I'm in control of my actions again!" Adam cheered. "And also all the Alphas have been defeated!"

"That's great Adam. Does that mean you'll be coming back to the palace now?" Celestia asked.

"I will. But first I need to get this last bit of magic for my ally Discord." Adam said reaching for the bracelet.

"ADAM! Wait! It's a trap!" Celestia warned in loud voice. Adam had already absorbed the energy, and now something strange was happening.

The pain in Adam's head intensified greatly and dark thoughts flowed through his head. Most of them were Niju's wishes. For some reason it felt good to Adam. "WAHAHAHA!" He laughed menacingly. Adam fell to knees still laughing then suddenly vanished.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"He-he's gone!" Cadence screamed.

"No ADAM!" Shining cried out.

"We're too late, he's... one of them now." Celestia admitted.

0000000000000000000000000000 0000

Rambling Rock Ridge

A dark cave in the rocky fields. Niju was waiting for his "delivery". Suddenly Adam landed in the center of the room. "And There he is! The princess's little pet. I'm so happy to see." Niju greeted. "Why I'll be. Adam Splice! Why am I not surprised. I remember you. You gave our armies so much trouble on Tierra. To think now you'll be serving us. Well congratulations, you are the second human to join the Lupine armies." Niju congratulated coldly. Adam stood their like a statue listening to his new master. "You see that energy you were absorbing was chaos energy from the draconequus statue in the Canterlot Gardens. I used it to control your mind as you defeated each Alpha. You still had your free will, but I always managed to push more toward what I wanted you to do rather than what you wanted. When you absorbed ALL of the chaos energy from the bracelets you pretty much submitted yourself to me. Now you have NO free will. I control you." Niju said chuckling. "NOW INSTEAD OF 6 SUPER ANIMALS, I HAVE ONE PWERFUL CREATURE FROM THE TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN! Well, used to be the top of the food chain. But first, let's get you ready for the invasion shall we?" Niju asked laughing loudly.

"Yes Lord Niju." Adam responded dimly.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Luna was crying even more and Celestia could no longer see or hear Adam. "Hush now Luna. It'll work out." Celestia comforted her little sister.

"Princess Celestia!" Shining Armor called. "The mares you requested are here." He said proudly and confidently. The royal family looked to find none other than the six mares them selves standing in the door way.

"Princess Celestia, were here to fight and win!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Them Lupine varmints 'ill never see us comin." Applejack spoke.

"Those meanies are gonna see what happens when you mess with one of Pinkie Pie's friends!" Pinkie Pie said furiously.

"That's right! Princess, we the Mane six at your command! What's the situation?" Twilight spoke out ready for what ever the Princess told them.

ENDENDENDENDENDENDENDENDENDE NEDENDENDEND

So it was Discord all along? No surprise.

The Mane Six have come to help? What'd you expect?

Are those Dragon Ball Z Abridged references I see? Yes they are.

Well there you go, it's been a while but another chapter is up. So there's been a lot of action occurring here. In future chapters if there's ever any scenes like the ones above (all the battles and stuff) They'll all be taking place in the same chapter. Also I made some artwork for this fiction. Go to my Deviant Art page to see some of them. I have a lot and hope to post them up soon. Even though you won't be seeing them again. (Spoiler) Here are this chapter's Alpha's bios.

=OOOOOOO=

Porcupine- A rather unskilled Alpha capable of flinging his spines at enemies and curling into a ball to roll into said enemies. He's the second smallest of the 2nd Gen Alphas making him rather easy to dodge.

Piranha- An exotic acting fish and primary leader of the Aquatics. His attack involves dragging his enemies into the water where he has full advantage over them. He can be psychopathic at times and is the envies his fellow Alphas for their ability to walk on land.

Hawk- Being rebellious and cocky are his flaws. Being a fast and powerful flyer, Hawk can carry prey of almost 300 pounds and fly at close 200 miles an hour. He can also generate strong winds with his wings.

Cobra- Though he doesn't have any appendages he's actually one of the most skilled fighting Alphas ever. He has the ability to fire acidic venom at enemies and is very stealthy. He can be absent minded and is usually very lazy.

Antelope- An Alpha that almost never takes anything seriously unless crud really goes down. His fast speed and powerful antlers allow him to create large vibrations by ramming into structures. He dislikes Cheetah for always overshadowing him.

Cheetah- The Dominant Alpha of the 2nd gen Alphas. Cheetah is by far the fastest Alpha to serve. He's always over confident and will easily accept any invitation to fight. He has the additional ability to grow out his claws, but rarely does he use them.

=OOOOOOO=

Well there ya go.

Now to ask you these questions.

What are the Mane Six going to do?

What is Princess Celestia's plan to rescue Adam?

Can Adam be saved from this spell? Or does Niju really have full control of Adam?

This and more shall be explained. Next chapter of Fallen Angel. "Harmony on the Hunt"
