Elements of Nature

[Finesthour 7,287]

Daisy sighed.

"Thank god..."

[Slendermane 477]

"Well, that was rather easy. I was going to offer to be the distraction, but you handled that all on your own. Remind me to never make you angry."

[Linguz 140]

"Yea. Garth usually has some nice trinkets and such in his room from his travels so I always borrow a few before we leave on a mission. This is one of the few times I've actually had to use one though."

Raek got up and passed the articles of clothing back to who they belonged.

 

Gizmo grinned.

"Never make me angry."

[Finesthour 7,287]

Daisy put her coat back on and she started walking again, and faced Raek.

"I know that we are teamates, but why did you jump infront of me when the monster was going to attack me?"

[Linguz 140]

"You weren't paying attention and I'm pretty sure your coat is thinner than mine. If you had taken the blow, you probably would've died either on impact or not too long after. I can't let one of my own suffer such a fate."

Raek took small steps forward, not wanting to risk his legs with anything larger yet.

Masquerade became conscious again. His head was hurting badly. He got up and said,

"Garth, Raek, promise me that if I go near another bottle, one of you will hit me."

[Linguz 140]

They smirked at each other.

"How about we both hit you?"

[Phoenix Wright 55]

Masquerade looked up and looked around.

"Don't tell me something happened while I was knocked out. I swear to Luna I will never forgive myself."

[Linguz 140]

"Other than a fight with a snow golem and your alcohol being turned into a molotov, no."

[Phoenix Wright 55]

Masquerade stared at the group for a moment. He then looked down as to sulk.

"Damn it... I was useless again..."

A single tear came to his left eye.

[Linguz 140]

Garth put a claw on his head.

"You weren't useless. If it wasn't for your alcohol, we would've had to use some of Rigel's."

[Phoenix Wright 55]

Masquerade lightly pushed the claw away.

"One of you could have gotten severely injured, died even! I wasn't there, just like I wasn't there for... my sister."

Masquerade hung his head, tears streaming down his face.

[Finesthour 7,287]

Daisy walked over to masq and put her hoof over his neck.

"You are not worthless, at all."

[Linguz 140]

Garth and Raek turned around and let them two of them converse while they themselves conversed over the future.

[Phoenix Wright 55]

"Memories came back to me when Raek paralyzed me. Memories of my family. My mother, father, and my sister. The memories of how I was responsible for all of their deaths."

[Finesthour 7,287]

Daisy frowned.

"That's all in the past isint it. Everypony makes mistakes."

[Phoenix Wright 55]

"You don't understand, I could have saved them! They all died and it's my fault! Well, maybe not my father, but my mother and sister! My sister was dragged off by masked ponies and I was right there! I could have at least tried to stop them, but I didn't! I was a coward and a fool! My father never spoke to me again, except to give me orders. My mother was the only one I could turn to. But no, she had to die as well, and it was by my hand."

[Finesthour 7,287]

Daisy frowned and hit him.

"Snap the fuck out of it! Even if they were taken away, getting yourself killed is not helping them either, now is it? Every single ponies makes mistake, and it takes a man to get over those mistakes. You think you are the only pony who has been through shit?"

[Evilshy 5,090]

(I swear linguz, you're planning all the interesting stuff that rigel could help with at times when I'm busy)

 

Rigel eyed masquerade strangely. "your mother died by your hand? Or by psychos? You can't always control him, can you?"

 

Rigel instantly felt guilty. that probably wasn't the best thing to say, actually. I've never been good at this kind of thing.

[Phoenix Wright 55]

Masquerade looked at Rigel.

"No, it was by my hand, not his. I saw my sister taken away. I bumped into my mother, causing her to fall 50 feet to her death. And I looked my father in the eye, knife in my hoof, and I stabbed him. I stabbed him, and stabbed him, and STABBED HIM AND STABBEDANDSTABBEDANDSTABBEDANDSTABBED! And you know what? It felt good. 3 years of being pushed by him, 3 years of never ending guilt. I ended it. I ended it all and he was created in my psyche."

Masquerade looked at the group.

"I... I need to be alone."

Masquerade then took to the skies.

(I can only do things when online, sorry.)

Garth looked at Masquerade fly away.

"I'll go talk to him. The rest of you, keep moving forward."

He took off in a pursuit of Masquerade.

[Phoenix Wright 55]

Masquerade sat on a cloud, unaware that Garth was coming for him.
