With the world going to hell, there's not much left living for. Wars rage in almost every part of the world, there's not a single place safe from it. Violence has risen to an all time high after these short few months. The times ticking and there's not much left. Whatever happens when the time comes, it's not going to be pretty.

The military is starting to pour into my city, and every night I can hear them murdering the innocent. Sure it's their orders, but every night it haunts me that I may next and I can't let that happen. I have been thinking it over and over the last few weeks, trying to figure out a plan. It's not right. Nothing it right, but something has to be done. Tomorrow morning im going to fight back. Fight for my freedom, fight for my life.

I will make the preparations tonight. Then without telling anyone I will sneak away and do the best I can, doing whatever I can. Tomorrow I have no name, I am only another vessel on this planet waiting to be killed. Waiting for revenge.

*****

I can do this I tell myself as I stare at my bed with all my equipment. I have always taken interest in various types of swords, buying a few in my time. My two favorites, both being Japanese samurai swords lie on my bed, beside two police issue handguns. There is also some midnight black coloured clothing garments on the bed, making up a bit of a costume. There is also a pair of black combat boots, black leather gloves, and a black head piece. Figuring I'm a nobody, its essential no one can see my face.

I sigh and start to get dressed in my gear. Fully clothed, I attach the swords and both guns to the belt holding up my pants. I grab the head piece and slip it on to my head.

It's time.

I walk over to the window, open it then proceed to wiggle my way through it. The cover of morning dusk helps me as I make way through the streets. As I approach my destination, I can see some sort of rally going on. There is a large mass of soldiers, along with a few citizens. If I'm going to make a move, I can't do anything to brash, and upset the crowed. Picking one off by one seems to be the best bet, but how I'm going to do it is the problem.

Taking cover behind a wall, I try my best at some bird calls to try and grab the attention of a soldier. Luckily one of them hears it and heads over. Okay, here's my chance I think as he marches on over. I start to pull out one of my swords and work out how I'm going to do this in my mind. I can hear the footsteps getting louder, and my heart starts to race a mile a minute. The footsteps stop and I can hear him right around the corner.

Let's do this.

I quickly turn the corner and grab onto the man standing in front of my. I pull him down to the ground and drag him behind the wall. He struggles to get back up, but as I pull my sword to his neck he settles down.

"Who are you?" He shouts, almost alerting the other soldiers

"Doesn't matter. Why is the military here" I say

"I'm not telling you anything!"

"Fine, Have it your way. I don't have time to deal with this" I say, stabbing my sword through his shoulder. "Last chance"

"You will have to kill me first" He mutters, blood dribbling from the side of his mouth.

"Wish granted" I say as I pull my sword out of his shoulder and swiftly slice his neck.

Killing him felt so good. It was a whole new experience, and I felt as if a new weight was being lifted. These men deserve to die I think to myself as I watch him bleed out.

"Hey!" I hear someone shout

Huh?

I look behind me, and the whole group of soldiers has their guns pointed towards me. In a split second I hear gun shots and I snap back to reality and take cover. This is the real deal, the moment of truth. I poke my head around the corner and scout a few places for me to hide behind. I pick my spots and pull both guns out. I take a deep breath and push away from the wall.

Bullets fly everywhere as I fire my guns like a wild man, managing to get behind my first peice of cover. I'm taking cover behind a car which I know I can't stand behind much longer before it blows up. I check the magazines in the guns and only have a few left in each one.

Damn, what the hell was I thinking

I get up once again and start running to the next car to hide behind. I fire the last few bullets in one of the guns, managing to take out a few of the soldiers. Just before reaching the car I feel a sharp pain in my stomach and I fall to the ground, sliding the rest of the way behind the car. I reach down and feel my stomach, bringing my hand back up covered in blood.

Staring at the blood everything becomes real slow, and I can feel my pulse all through my body. Gun shots continue to whip by me as try my best to get up.

"What the hay is that thing!" I hear a voice in my head say. "Hey, Everypony come here and look at this!"

Voices? Everypony?

I shake my head and check my mags again. One gun has no bullets left, while the other still has a few. I throw one gun to the ground and use both hands to grasp the other. I can hear the bullets stop for a few moments, meaning that they are reloading again. I take this oppertunity as a chance to pounce, and stand up. I aim my shot, and shoot one of the open soilders in the head. I watch as he falls to the ground, blood spraying on the men behind him. I take a few more shots, then feel the very same sharp pain again, this time in my shoulder.

"I think It's bleeding! Spike, send a letter to the Princess!"

More voices? Wait. I know that name.

I'm on the ground again, still heavily bleeding from my stomach, and now my shoulder as well. I'm out of bullets and all I have left are my swords. It's all I have left, and I'm going to do my best to use it. I know I'm going to die, but at least I'm going to do down trying.

"Princess what is that thing!"

Again?

"I need everypony to back away right now"

Wait a minute. No. I stopped that years ago, there's no way it's that.

I grasp onto the swords as hard as I can and stand up. I take a final look up into the sky before I charge towards the soldiers shooting at me. Everything is slow, and I can feel every little thing in my body. There's no pain as I keep running towards them. I can see bullets continuing to enter my body every step I take.

I should be dead right now

I'm right beside them, slashing my way through the group. Blood is flying in every direction, much of it is my own.

"Twilight, I told you to back away!"

No. That's not it, It cant be!

"It keeps making weird noises, make it stop Princess!"

Voices continue to flow through my head and I keep pushing through the ground, killing as many as I can. I should be dead right about now, But I'm not, and I don't now how.

"Okay, I'm going to try something, and I need everyone to back far away"

Everything goes white and I feel as if im stuck in limbo. I can feel a cold hard object touching my forehead, but nothing is there. What the hell is going on, am I dead? I can't be I think to myself as I lay there.

"Okay, give it a few moments now" I hear, but its not in my head this time. The cold hard object has been lifted, and I the whiteness is gone, leaving behind only darkness.

I can hear some sounds much like the ones I was hearing in my head. This time its different, It's as if right there with them. I can feel my body again, but there's no pain. I try to move hand, and I can feel what seems to be dirt.

"Ah! It's moving!" I hear, this time the voice sounds familiar.

I open my eyes to the one sight I never would have expected. Everything is so bright and colourful, nothing like the world I live in.

Fuck. No, This can't be. It's not, It's not possible.

I sit up and look around. Everything seems so familiar, and I know what everything is. My eyes fall upon Twilight, and that's when I realize where I am. My first reaction is to get up and run, it's the only thing I know I should do. I get up push one of the ponies to the ground as I run as fast as I can. I can hear the... the ponies behind me shouting and screaming, but it died down as I got further away.

I come across a river and sit down at the bank. I finally get a chance to take in my surroundings an figure out whats going on. I take a look at my reflection and notice I'm still wearing everything I had on. The mask is missing, but everything else is still there, weapons aside. There is still blood all over, but I don't have any wounds. It's such a strange thing, leading me to believe that I am in fact dead.

I do my best to wash away the blood from my face and hands, before hearing someone, or, somepony should I say behind me. I didn't bother to look back, to afraid to admit where I am. The sound of a pony walking on the grass stops, and I can almost tell who is behind me.

"Umm, Hello? My name is-"

"Twilight Sparkle" I sigh, "And I know who you are"

Even without looking back, I could just tell how horrified she must be. An alien knowing who she is, even before he has seen her.

"How did you-?"

"Please, just leave." I tell her, not wanting to have any actual interaction with her.

"I, I can't"

"And why can't you" I ask.

"My friends dared me to find you" she admitted

I shake my head almost knowing which ones it was, "Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie right? Figures."

I hear her take a few steps back, obviously scared. Who wouldn't be if an alien randomly showed up and knows everything about you.

"Are you going to hurt me?" I hear her whimper

I give her no answer. For some reason I can't seem to come up with one. It's not like im going to get up and start pounding on her, but like, I mean... I just killed people, and shrugged it off like nothing happened. For all I know, I'm dead as it is.

"I cant answer that question" I say, "But, I do know that I don't want to bring harm upon you. So tell me, what's the real reason you are here"

"I know what you are, and I want to learn" She admits

How does she? No, shes just lying

"I read some old books about these aliens called humans in the Canterlot library." She continues, "And I'm pretty sure that's what you are"

"Twilight" I say, turning around and finally looking her in the face, "Come sit down"

I signal for her to sit beside me, but she is weary at first. I sigh again and turn back around to look into the water. I hear her walk over and take a seat a few metres away from me.

"You must understand that I'm dangerous Twilight. You should listen to the Princess when she told everyone to leave"

She looks at me confused, unsure of how I knew what was going on

"How did you, wait, what?" She says confused

"Twilight please, just leave." I shake my head and splash some water on my face. "If being covered in blood isn't enough, then I will tell you this. I killed my own kind."

I say this with a bit of a smirk, almost proud of what I've done. Twilight sits there with a look of horror, mouth wide open. It looks like she is about to say something before a flash of light appears, and another pony pops out of no where.

Adjusting my eyes I can tell it's Princess Celestia. I can't hear her, but I can tell she is scolding Twilight, and she runs off. She turns around and looks at me, locking eyes and giving me somewhat of a death stare.

"You. You're coming with me"

With that there is another bright flash and everything feels light. It ends as quickly as it began, and I'm stuck strapped to a chair in what looks like a cellar.

"Hey!" I shout, "Someone tell me whats going on!"

I watch as Celestia walks out form the shadows and towers over me.

"What do you want with me Celestia" I demand

"Oh, so you know my name then. Good, we can skip the introduction." She says, "Now, do you understand why you are here."

I try to get out of the chair, but the bindings are too tight, and I cant get loose.

"No use trying to escape. You're not leaving this place yet"

I settle down and accept that I'm stuck here. If I am in fact dead, then this is some cruel joke of an afterlife.

"Listen, I know who you are, and I know where I am. I died, why am I here of all places?" I tell her

She looks at me as if I'm stupid and starts to laugh

"Dead? You think you're dead? Silly human, I brought you here right before you were killed"

"What are you talking about?"

"There is an ancient prophecy that I thought to be a foals tale, but up until now it's been proven other wise"

"A prophecy? What are you talking about?" I ask, obviously confused out of my mind

"It's not the first time your kind as come here" She sighs, "Each possessing a different type of element"

Elements, what the hell is she talking about.

"For some reason I can't figure yours out. I could sense you were the prophet, but I didn't know why, so I brought you here. Is that good enough?"

"Just let me leave, please" I plead

"I can't let you just leave, But I will release you to roam this world" She lowers her horn to my arm and uses her magic against it. I can feel my arm start to burn as she continues to use her magic to it. Some sort of symbol starts to burn into my skin, pain increasing every second.

My arm throbs as she stops using her magic against me. The symbol singed into my arm has no meaning to me, but after she did it, I felt a whole lot stronger. I see Celestias horn light up once again, breaking the ropes loose.

"You may leave now. But know this, harm anypony, and I will kill you" She says, and she uses her magic for the last time to teleport me back to where I was.

I'm back sitting on the same grass beside the river. It's dark outside and seems like everyone, I mean pony is sleeping. I don't have any place to stay, so the only place I think about trying to find is the library. Perhaps I can reason with Twilight somehow.

As I walk back to town, I start to recall even more about this place, remembering almost every little detail.

It's been years, It's amazing I still remember anything from the, the show.

I have only my thoughts to myself and I trudge through town. Thankfully there isn't any ponies out to spot me, which is a good thing.

I was such a happy person in those days. God how things have changed.

I arrive at the giant tree in no time. I go to knock on the door, but freeze up before my hand hits the wood.

Wait, what am I doing?

The door opens and Twilight is standing there as if she knew I was coming.

"The Princess sent me a letter, please come in" She says

I smile and happily enter. I'm still wearing my blood soaked clothes and want to take them off badly. Without thinking I take my shirt off and throw it on the ground. Twilight freezes and stares at me.

"What are you looking at?" I ask

"That symbol, on your, arm is it?" She walks over to take a closer look at it, "I seen that in a book once"

She uses her magic to levitate a book off one of the shelves and places it on the table. She flips through it trying to find the symbol.

"Aha!" She shrieks, "I found it!"

That was fast.

"It says here that this ancient Equestrian symbol representing magic. It also says that the symbol is only found on those who have been chosen as the prophet" She continues to read, "This symbol is the most rare of them, only ever been seen once. It only comes to those with the ability to posses and control it. The bearer is born with the magical abilities... and the rest is just about more prophet stuff" she finishes.

Magic? what the...

"Let me try something" She says, walking back over to me. She puts her horn close to the symbol singed into my arm, and uses her horn against it. I sharp pain courses through my body and I feel light headed. My eyes roll to the back of my head and I can feel myself hit the floor.

Great.
