Alright. I give up. You guys asked for it so many times. I gave in. This will be darker than your average story. It also made itself remarkably easy to wright. I hate this show with a passion, but from the information that I could gather from various sources I managed it. So here is my fanfiction of mlp.

I walked further down the hill towards a town slowly coming into view of many of the pony inhabitants. I continued to walk forwards until I reached what looked to be an old tree somepony had made their home "I guess this is here I need to be." I muttered before opening the door hearing a bell softly ring before I saw a purple unicorn walk towards me "thank you for coming on such short notice mister Leone. I'm sorry for pulling you out of retirement but everyone else is too busy with their own jobs." I nodded at her words "I was getting tired of the quite life. And I honestly never get used to nothing going on. So, what do I need to know about why you called me here in the first place?"

My question made her nod slowly before pulling out a book. "Well I called you here because of this spell I found. I need to know if it's safe to preform anywhere." She replied opening the book with a quick light up of her horn. Finally she settled on a page and turned it to face me making my eyes widen in surprise at the runes on the page. "Have you translated the runes?" I asked her seeing her shake her head before looking at me questioningly as I decided to tell her. "These runes are from your enemy. And the reason I say that and not our enemy is because they're changeling runes. Ancient too by the look of them. I can gather a rough translation but it looks to be the incantation. So I'd rather not risk potentially blowing up this whole town. I'd much rather keep everyone safe. I'll tell you more, if you can stand me, in the morning."

My words seemed to have shaken her deep as she began to dart her eyes between the book to me making it clear as day her thought process was and how this ended for me. So I turned around and began to make for the exit in a calm walk only to have something hit me hard in the centre of my back. My anger rising I continued towards the door opening it and stepping outside closing it behind me. (She took it better than others.) I thought to myself seeing that the sun was already down and the moon was rising slightly into the sky. As I stopped to look at it I heard several whispers from behind me. "How does he walk freely among us, he's a freak. He needs to be cleaned as well that creature just needs to be locked in a cage in a zoo for entertainment."

I heard all these insults before but what happened back then I made sure didn't happen now. I merely sighed quietly and began walking again hearing multiple sounds behind me indicating a small crowd following me. A small walk later I was standing at the edge of town before hearing something that still angers me to this day. "Tell you what freak. Don't come back here and we won't have to cause any destruction in your demise." The one of many voices said followed by multiple yells of approval. My anger at its breaking point I slowly turned around, my hands being engulfed in emerald green flames and my eyes switching from their sky blue to flare a pure grass green.

"Say it again; we shall see who will be causing more destruction. It's been awhile since I've been a fight. So just try me, take another step everyone here dies in a single blow. Stay back and maybe I'll let some of you live." I whispered angrily staring into all the eyes of the now frightened ponies of the town before they stepped back in their fear making me smirk. "Next time, say it to my face, not behind my back. So I'll abide by those terms if, the rest of the town gets told their previous hero is now their enemy. I'd also wish to be there to see it." I said making them all look at me with suspicion before they nodded slowly as I turned my back to them again before walking again.

I continued walking until I reached the edge of a tree line the energy seeming to be familiar making me smile softly into its pitch black depths as I began walking inside. My name's Leone. I never had a last name because of my past, I'm a half breed. I stand at six foot tall, taller than most and I wear simple jet black leather clothing. I have a smoky grey hair colour which I let grow to cover my forehead because of my past leaving a scar directly across my forehead. I was a changeling half breed which causes panic amongst almost everything. The only things it doesn't set panic to are other changeling half breeds and other half breeds in general. There are hundreds of other half breeds and combinations I never thought possible and frankly never do.

And of all the others like me I decided to begin building a small village in the forest. It's a nice place for half breeds to come together and be treated as equals in society. We don't bother with a currency because nothing gets paid for anyway. We make everything on our own. Even the clothes; we're independent enough to forget our pasts almost completely and move on but still not enough to be on our own. We all were like a family. Looking after each other no matter what it was. We were all brothers and sisters in each other's eyes. We only needed a true leader. Everyone thought I'd be the one to rise to take the spot but I didn't. Wanting everyone's opinion and even though I tried to deny it I ended up being their leader.

Eventually it came into my sight as we had cleared the forest before the village in case we needed to extend outwards. I smiled gratefully as I began walking towards it; the buildings made mostly of stone but did have some wooden buildings to help distinguish residence and marketing. As I walked through I saw several half breeds smile at me and some wave in my direction. I waved back being polite and smiled back at each citizen I passed as I made my way towards the centre of the village. I made it there where I saw a normal stone house. I smiled as I entered the home the candles hanging on the walls and the lantern hanging on the roof creating enough light for me to see as I began to make my way down the houses hallway before stopping at the door my hand enclosing around the doorhandle before I opened the door to stop dead in my tracks.

The room was almost exactly how I left it. A basic square window looking over some of the garden out the back, a cupboard on the far wall near a king sized bed. That's how it was when I left it, except now the window was open and a changeling pure-breed was sitting on the bed holding a picture in its green magic. I walked closer to it noticing how engrossed it was in the picture so I quickly grasped its neck firmly before lifting it off the edge of the bed and slamming it to the ground. I smiled sinisterly as it began to cough harshly and began to wheeze before it opened its eyes. "Hello again; been awhile hasn't it, worker." I said to it making its eyes widen in fear.

"I…thought…you'd…be gone…for longer…but…oh…well." He wheezed out making my eyebrows rise slightly as my glare hardened before I used my spare hand to punch him hard in the stomach causing him another coughing fit. "Who told you?" I asked my voice just above a whisper but full of anger and every syllable laced with venom. When he didn't answer I began to slowly raise my fist again. A sinister smile worming its way onto my face as he looked at my slowly rising fist with my smile turning into a sadistic grin; "You know you can never escape her…Even though you've escaped the hive mind…She still knows where you are…And then you and your pathetic village…Will crumble."

I smirked and plunged my fist down onto his chest sending him into a writhing mess with tears beginning to form at his eyes but he refused to let them fall as I grabbed him by the neck. "I admire your courage to speak to me in such a way but I'll tell you something." I began leaning in close to his ear giving him a quick burst of fear as I gripped his neck tighter. "You can run back to her, and you tell what I say word for word. Tell her, if she tries to take the village I will be more than happy to rip that thing called a head clean off all of her army before I have my way with her." I finished by lifting him up and throwing him out the window seeing him make his way out of the village at a fast pace.

I sighed as I watched his fleeting form blend in with the darkness around him as I smiled at my work only to grasp what I had said and punched the wall leaving a small dent in the wall where my fist had struck. "God damn it." I cursed under my breath before I slowly walked out of the house only to run into a group of half breeds walking as a line through the street. "Is this something I should know about?" I asked as they got within hearing range seeing them all stop and do a quick kneel before standing up again. "Yes leader. We were all concerned for we saw that the town that was a neutral ally Ponyville is now gathering a small group of soldiers in the city from our enemies' sir."

I nodded at his words. "Well it's on neutral ground. I still shouldn't have a problem going into it. But I'll have to test it out alone. Thank you civilian." I said bowing my head to him and smiled as I began walking towards Ponyville again. When I reached it I did see several ponies in golden armour wandering the streets calmly. (No night guards? This is suspicious. Might want to play it safe here.) I thought cautiously before I began walking slowly around the town still keeping hidden before I noticed that there was the size of a small army here. (This can't be good.) I thought before finally deciding to see if they would honour the neutral agreement as I stepped out feeling the sun hit my face making me sigh in mild annoyance at it.

I began walking into the town seeing guards tense when I approached but didn't attack. I managed to get past them towards the house of the ruler of this place before I opened the door seeing the leaders of the Crystal empire standing there talking with her. "Shining this is neutral ground I won't choose a side because of how close we are to their home." The purple unicorn said before I stepped inside the bell ringing making the leaders of the Crystal empire jump in surprise before turning around only to stare at me in fear. "Why are you here freak?" asked the male in what would be considered a threatening tone but I knew what their boundaries were.

"I know you won't attack me because it's an act of war. That and you couldn't kill me. I came from another world remember, and I have been in those battles more than enough times to just stare death in the face. So you're out skilled. So just drop the threats and just act civilized. I know I can do that so you must be able to do that." I replied with a small smirk on my face as he sighed and stepped back relaxing while his wife who I remember with respect walked up to me beginning to shake lightly as I noticed her fear. I smiled softly and knelt down to her level before saying a line that I hadn't said in a long time. "In the moon is where I belong. You belong in the sun, because people respect you but they never cared for me."

My words made a sympathetic smile appear on her face as she walked up to me as if nothing had happened between us and she hugged me gently. I wrapped one arm around her and gently rubbed her back her pink coat feeling just the same as it did those years ago, like an angel's grace. I slowly departed from the hug before standing up again seeing her husband glaring at her with a growing hatred. I knew what this meant so I sighed and stepped in between the two before clenching my hands into fists. "Look I know you, Shining. We were friends back then, and I know things change. But honestly, I never wanted this to happen. I could have helped you. But you had an ego back then and you still do. So don't worry, what just happened was a friendship only thing. After all, I know what it's like to lose someone."

My words made Cadance look up at me with horror and sadness before she walked around to stand at my side. I went to step back away from her but every time I tried she would step back with me still remaining by my side. (I'm sorry Cadance; I hope you can forgive me with time.) I thought before I picked her up and placed her next to her husband before I stepped back and raised my right hand up to my chest height before speaking again. "When the full moon is at its highest, those pure of heart will try their hardest. I was told this; let's find out if what it meant was true." I said casually before I summoned up whatever magic I had before I teleported back into my house.

My room appeared in front of me as I began to sigh as a small frown made its way onto my face as I overlooked my town seeing all of them carry on with their daily basis before I sighed and walked outside again before making my way to the centre of the town where a single forge stood, the white smoke rising from the top of it made it rather easy to find. I walked in hearing the hollow iron bell ring signalling the owner of the forge that there was a customer. He came in to the room from another joint room that led to his quarters. As he looked at me he went into a kneeling position with his head down on the floor. "Leader, what do I owe this honour?"

His voice held the same gruffness of his own kind; he was a 6' 4" high draconian half-breed. His skin being a tan colour while his hair was pitch black except for the edge of his hairline which it turned into a blood red. "John you don't need to do this. I told you, I'm just another customer, as for what I visit you for, I know you used to craft weapons correct?" I asked making him nod his head. "Yes leader I used to make weapons, swords, spears and occasionally bows. Why do you ask sir? Are you looking to protect yourself on your visits to the town?" He asked making me nod in return. "Unfortunately yes, they have the size of a small army residing there and there all that Celestia's guards, a few crystal empire guards but they shouldn't be a problem. What I need is for you to start manufacturing weapons on a large scale for a while; we need to be able to defend ourselves if the need arises."

John looked at me confused but also a little angered at the news. "I'll get to work immediately, would you yourself want me to make you a weapon?" He asked as I nodded before a thought struck me. "Hey John," I said making him look at me again. "Those new half breeds we got recently, I'd like for them to start to work, and this order is too big to be filled out on your own. So I'll try and find some capable workers to help out around here. And about the weapon you are crafting for me, don't make it to fancy." I said seeing him smile and laugh slightly while nodding slowly. "So the gold coating is off the table?" He asked still chuckling making me sigh and shake my head at him.

I left the forge as he got to work and stepped out into the busy street to see who I wanted to see, standing right in front of me making me thank the coincidence that I didn't have to walk around for hours telling them all individually. "The group I wanted to see." I said making them kneel immediately before I slowly got them to rise to their feet. "None of that, I want to offer you all something." I began seeing their faces reflect both hope and joy. "I have made a decision; this town needs defenders in case of an attack which could be imminent given by the amount of guards I saw during a stroll this morning." I said making them all look at each other with small amounts of doubt on their faces before one spoke up.

"Leader I am humbled that you have offered me a place among the defence but I must decline for I have no training in any combat. I'm better at emotional trauma, not physical combat." He said making me smile at him. "You won't need to be a part of it, it's an offer, I respect your opinion to choose to accept or deny and you don't need to worry. But another offer I have is helping the soldiers out, they will need weapons. I am aware that behind me is the forge but in it resides only one blacksmith. I would like it so that everyone here can at least learn the forge art and then help him make the weapons lifting some of the order off his shoulders because I know how stressful something like that can be."

He nodded before he stood up and made his way out of my sight behind me to enter the forge soon followed by the rest of them. I smiled slightly as I walked back to my home greeting different half breeds along the way as I made my way back to my home before I opened the front door and just walked over to my bed and began to almost immediately drift off into the world of dreams. I began to grow restless after a while and eventually decided to get back up. As soon as I sat up however, I realized the restless feeling I had was because I was being watched because at my window for a split second. Was a cream coloured pegasi, a pink mane hid her other eye and a light blush was on her before she darted away.

Deciding to push the issue aside I began to relax before slapping myself in the forehead. "I'm a bloody idiot." I said before I began pacing back and forth thinking. (That wasn't a half breed, it was a pure blood. I can't believe I didn't sense it though, it might have been the stress getting to me but I know that, that pegasi was real; it was one of the main six. I forget its name though. I hope at least my weapon is done by the time I wake up; I need to pay this town another visit. Find out whom that pegasi is, and co-ordinate with the leader of that town to make sure that she is dealt with accordingly. At least I hope.) I thought before I began to sit back down on my bed before finally laying back down and going to sleep.

I awoke to the sound of someone knocking on my door, the soft, gentle taps gently rousing me from my dreamless sleep as I looked outside to see the moon at its highest point. Sighed and began making my way over to the door putting on a small smile before opening the door to see none other than the pegasi from before standing there looking like she was about to knock again before she quickly darted past me to come inside. I stood still my anger making me close the door a bit more forcefully then I had intended on. "An explanation would be nice, as to why you are here young one. I don't want to revisit my old life but I will if I must." I said before the mare responded quietly.

"I'm sorry for bothering you, but I take care of creatures in the Everfree Forrest. I saw your town a while back and knew of the threat of war but the kindness you show to your people, you must have a heart to do that. And I saw what you did when some of your people began being cruel. It takes even more of a heart to forgive them." She said before I turned around to face her, my eye colour changing to their regular toxic green seeing her shrink back in obvious fear. "I have a heart because we need to stick together to survive out here. They are like the children I can never have, so it's why I forgive them so much. I need every capable half breed ready to take to arms should the need arise."

My words made the mare look up at me with a deep admiration before she lowered her head with another hint of a blush on her face. "I see, can I have your name sir?" She asked me shocking me slightly. "I don't see the harm in it, Leone." I replied doing a small bow towards her seeing her face light up in a furious blush before she replied in just a whisper. "My name's Fluttershy. I hope we meet again Leone." She said as I nodded toward her. "I'll spread word that you will be allowed back in here to roam freely, since you already know my house location finding me shouldn't be too difficult." I said before a loud battle cry was heard followed by the sound of several swords hitting skin followed by multiple screams of pain.

My face hardened as I wrenched the door open before sprinting to the forge vaulting over fences as I went to keep my momentum and speed before I saw it had appeared into view. The forge was still intact but the sounds of a fight inside sounded into my ears making my rage boil over as I began to race towards it only to be stopped by two night guards who had faces of sympathy on their faces. "I'm sorry sir, but as an order from Celestia herself, this area is off limits." A guard said before I shot him a venomous glare before I summoned two hands from the ground big enough to pin them to the ground and fully restrain them. "I should be sorry to you two, you didn't deserve this. You are following orders. But your princess who is viewed as a god can't settle something like this with a simple peace treaty then I will make it my personal vendetta to end her life."

My words shocked them but they still stayed silent as they realized what I just said before they nodded and remained quiet as I walked past them into the forge only to see John fighting two of Celestia's day guards. "Gang up on a half breed that can fight you cowards." I growled out my hands clenching into fists as I rushed the closest one using the momentum from my run to deliver a hard solid punch to the back of the guard's head. "Leader, thank you." John said making me smirk at him before I said sympathetically. "We may be the only two left. This is an extinction of a race if they had gotten to any of the girls. Though if they had fun with them they guarantee another half breed. So don't thank me just yet. We still have this ass to deal with." I said before picking up the other guard's sword seeing that the guard was actually dead from the blow.

I stood up to my full height and made my eyes flash their toxic green as I began to smile lightly. "Shall we John?" I asked him, seeing him nod after he caught on to what I was saying before he smirked as well before we both turned to face the guard only to see he had his sword shaking severely as he looked into my eyes alone. "Actually, I'll take him on alone. John, could you watch the door and make sure I get no interruptions with this one?" I asked him seeing him nod with a look of relief on his face before he went to stand by the door concealing himself in the shadows. "Now that I know that we're going to be alone for the most part," I began seeing him step back constantly. "Let's dance shall we?" I asked before raising the sword up to my eye level before slashing it diagonally till it rested at my side angled to swing up and cut at any moment.

And so ends the first chapter of this take on mlp. Reviews from veterans of the show and stories can criticize as you wish for I have no common interest in the show itself. I will finish this story and this shall never be mentioned again. So until next time, I shall see you guys.
