Charmless

Chapter Four

Twilight sparkle stumbled back in shock.

"Wait...but...your...y-your the Princesses nephew...I think...right?! Why would you..."

He rolls his eyes an as twilight continues to talk. "blah, blah blah, blah blah. That's all I'm getting. Now excuse me, I don't believe you were invited."

He slams his hoof on the armrest. The room shakes. Black vines grew out of the floor, staining the area around them. They coiled around the five. They thrashed around as soon as they realized what was happening, but it was useless. The vines acted as tight chains that securely held them in place. He laughed evilly.

Now...allow me to introduce myself..."

He got up. Rainbow Dash looked up. "Tell me he's not going to start singing..."

He slammed his hoof on the ground. The hall fell even more silent than it already was.

"If you want a picture of a Charming Prince, I take the cake..." He began to sing in a bitter exited tone. Rainbow looked up in a 'oh great' way.

"But now you find all more alarming truth, I'm Charming as a rattlesnake."

He grinned evilly, his eyes growing an even deeper shade of red.

"Taken in, by my dashing grin...

You have failed to note the pointy teeth..."

For a second, his teeth grew sharp as knives. He flashed them at the five. Soon they became normal again.

"I'm no fraud, but beneath this warm facade...

I'm prince CHARMLESS, undernieth!!!"

He shot a beam of magic at the ceiling. It spread to the back of the room, down the walls, and into the floor. It floated up and started forming ponies. They were guards in black and grey uniforms. Some guards bring in a pony in a black hood. Thy throw her against the wall. The magic laces her up, acting like a chain. They try to fight, but it's no use. There held firmly in place. He walks up to them and rips off the cloak.

Rarity looked up and gasped. She glared at him. He just smirks.

"Just look at what a perfect little royal pair, we're going to make."

She turns her head away.

"Because everyone is completely unaware, there lives are all at stake!"

He grins at the horror of the mane six.

"You've been grand, for the plots I've planned...

And my gratitude a profound and large...

Nows the time, for the world to know that I'm...

Hardly HARMLESS!"

The vines and chains tightened.

"Ill equipped or ARMLESS!"

The guards stepped foreword so they were now beside and behind him.

"No I'm Prince CHARMLESS!

And I'm in CHAAAAARGE!"

Outside, the darkness grew to the corners of Equestrian. The kingdom was silent. With the three princesses missing, Prince Blueblood WAS in control.

As the vines recoiled, they were prepared to run, to get help. But the guards ran to them faster and some teleported around them, like a barricade. They grabbed them with a fierce firm grip. They thrashed and struggled, but it was no use.

Rarity screamed. "Let them go!"

Blueblood chuckled and shook his head no. "No...a leader has to COMMAND respect if he can't earn it."
