After discovering this new creature Shining thought it was best to keep this creature under wraps not wanting more chaos then there already was. "Captain do you think it was wise of us to do that to the creature?" Silver star asked "I'm not sure but I have this feeling that he did something in his past. Something horrible I rather be safe then sorry." He said walking along side two of his guards towards the dungeon where they placed the creature. "If you say so Captain but I'm afraid that we did something that we might regret." Silver said with worry Ryan... You wake up in a white room the feeling of dread gone instead replaced by a warm feeling. You look towards the ground to see that many planets and stars roamed. You crouched down and touch the floor to feel a cold refreshing water cascade over your hand. You looked up to see a violin natural you pick it up. You started to play a little you looked around to see that a bubble started to form around your body. It was small in size but as soon as you stopped playing the bubbles bursted making several shards of the bubble go towards the targets on the opposite side of where you were standing at. You then heard a ringing noise in your ears your head became heavy as your breathing became heavy as well. You felt a hand on your shoulder you look behind you to see a Anthropromorphic pony. She had an blue coat and a starry indigo mane. Her hand was delicate to the touch as you felt your vision become clear and vivid. "Relax young creature I'm only here to help." She said in a soothing voice "W-who are you?" You asked "My name is Luna and I'm here to talk about your powers. They are devestatingly powerful aren't they?" She asked "Yes. Why do you ask?" "I've seen your dreams and the man who taught you. Cole MacGrath I believe his name was he did many wretched things to humanity." She said with angry tone "Yes but that was his choice. None of us other conduits can change his mind he is extremely powerful he has the energy of the beast." You said with worry "I see what is this beast?" Luna asked you began to explain about the beast and how he destroyed empire city. From what Cole told you he was an old aquantince. "Why did he choose the path of the villain?" "I'm not sure he had the choice to become a hero or a villain. He chose the latter it was his choice and his alone no one could've change that." "Surely he had a loved one?" "He did but she died cursing him for killing many people during his time in empire city. From what Cole told me she blamed him for the blast that killed her sister. He mourned her but after defeating Kessler he laughed at the idea of him saving humanity." "I see but you; you're different what would you choose would you become the infamous conduit he was or will you become the hero that another world wants." Luna asked "I'm not entirely sure for now I don't care for the inhabitants of this land nor do I want them to die. I'm in the middle for now I'm just a creature." "I see you're neutral then." You nodded looking back down to the starry floor. "Well I think it's about time you woke up." Reality... You woke up with huff as you rose from your laid position you looked around the room to see yourself in a dirty cell. You then whistled and closed your eyes you got the feel of the room you were currently in. There was two guards by your cell. They seemed to be bored and not wanting to be there. You walked over to the cell door and pulled only for it to shock you. You removed your hands and looked around your cell and laid down near a pile of hay. You then steadied your breathing as you heard the door to your cell open. "Rise creature." You looked up to see three guards with a chains on one for your arms the other for your legs. You quietly stood up and let the guards put the restraints on. "Move." They said as they pushed you forward towards two steel doors. They shoved you in as you fell to the ground you slowly rose from the ground to see yourself in a white room. "What is you name?" A voice asked "Who the fuck are you?" You asked "I'm not asking again who are you?" You sighed as this was going to be difficult. "Ryan." You said with annoyance "Ryan just Ryan." "Yes just Ryan now what the hell do you want?" "Shut it creature now why were you lurking in the canterlot gardens after hours?" He asked "I woke up there after someone teleported me there." "How do I know you were peeping on the Princesses or worse?" "Why would I do that in the first place? I'm here because someone dragged me here." You said annoyed by the person asking the question "Now I want to ask you a question what the fuck are you all?" You asked "We're ponies more specifically three tribes of ponies earth,Pegasi,and unicorn." "Ponies? Where I come from there aren't any Anthropromorphic ponies." "That's enough questions towards my race. Now what are you?" He asked "Human." You said not telling him about your special abilities. "Why are- What?! What are you taking about?! Ugh fine take the prisoner back to his cell. Princess Celestia would like to have a word with us about the recent magical surge." The voice said they entered the white room and removed you. They then shoved you back into your room where they unshackled your restraints. You sighed as these guards were starting to become a pain in your ass they had no respect for a prisoner the least the could do is not shove you into a room. Shining... Shining only got a few answers from the creature. Only what he was and his name he needed more but first he had to worry about Princess Celestia. Princess Celestia was a beautiful alabaster mare with a flowing light rainbow mane. She wore a long white dress and a jewel necklace. "You called for me Princess." Shining said bowing "Yes arise now I like to talk about the recent magical surge surely you felt last night and today a few hours ago." She asked "Yes of course I've been questioning said creature about his sudden appearance in these very gardens." "Good but he isn't the problem the main problem is an old friend of mine discord. I want your guards to uptake a strict order keep the ponies safe from his trickery and I would like to meet this creature I want to know what he is exactly if he had any correlation with discord." Ryan... "Ya know you guys are to up tight you're like the miltia from New Marais now those guys were stupid and dicks. But you guys you guys are just uptight." You said trying to get the guards attention You sat in your cell for nearly 2 hours since you've been questioned. You already ate what they gave you which was water and sandwich you weren't one to complain food is food. "Captain!" The two guards said standing proudly "At ease Princess Celestia would like to speak to this creature." He said glaring at you "Sir yes sir! I will do as you say sir!" You said mocking them The two guards then restrained you putting on the chains and walking you upstairs. You were then assaulted by shining bright sun. "AHHHHHHHHHHH FUCK MY EYES!" You shouted in pain "Relax creature it's just the sun." The commanding officer said with annoyance "You try staying in a cell with no light except for the light bulb in the hallway." "Keep walking creature." He said pushing you forward "So who am I meeting?" "Princess Celestia the ruler of equestria." He said walking next to you "Alright so what's your name pal?" "Why should I tell you?" "C'mon you have to have a name I mean look I told you my name the least you could do is tell me yours." "Shining Armor." "There we go I'm Ryan, Ryan Knight." Your walk continued in silence all you could think about was getting back to New Marais sure it was a shit hole but it was your shit hole. There was two more doors leading into a long hallway there stood a unicorn with wings. She had a long white dress with a jewel necklace she was breathtaking to say the very least. "Ah you must be the creature my guards reported on. Tell me what's your name?" She asked "Ryan Knight miss." You said politely "You're a very polite creature I'm sorry if my guards were rough you see they're trained to protect me and my sister." "No worries miss a little rough but nothing too extreme." You said with a chuckle "Now on to a serious note have you heard of a man named Discord you see it's very important that you tell me as he is a wicked man he uses trickery to his advantage." "Yes he's the one who sent me here." That made the guards on alert and unsheath their weapons. Celestia put her hand up ordering them to calm down. "What do you mean sent you here?" "Well he took me away from my home and placed me here against my will." "I see well I do not know if I can send you home but I can give you chance to help me with my problem. You see I have six loyal followers and I just sent them a letter telling them that I need their help." "So basically I do this favor for a favor in return?" You asked "Yes." "Alright I'll help." You said shaking her hand "But let me ask why suddenly trust me?" "I see that you don't care for any of my ponies and you don't want to see them hurt either. You're unique Ryan." Celestia said with a smile "Right anyway-" "Princess the element bearers are here." "Very well guards unrestrain Ryan and send him to the vault." The princess said walking away "Yes princess." Shining approached you and started to remove your cuffs and leg restraints. "You better watch yourself creature just because the princess trusts you I don't." You glared at him as you exited the throne room and made your way towards the vault. As you entered you hear several gasps you looked forward to see the six ponies from your dream. Two earth ponies,two Pegasi,and two unicorns. "Aww did you lose your jewelry girls?" You heard a voice say with a chuckle "Where are you discord?!" Celestia said with annoyance "I'm everywhere my dear Celestia and sometimes not there." "Hey don't disrespect the princess!" The cyan Pegasus shouted "Ah rainbow dash the element of loyalty am I right. Of course I am." He said gleefully laughing Discord finally appear right infront of the six mares and then spotted you. "Ah Ryan my little puppet you seem lost in all this." The six mares turned to see you you glared at discord for what he did. "Go fuck yourself discord I just want to get back home." You said angrily "Ah feisty did Cole teach you about getting your way? Well if you want to go back to New Marais you have to help these mares find the elements of harmony." "Anything to get back home." "Great because I feel like you're going to be spending a lot of time with them." He disappeared from your vision to see that your fists had vast swirls of winds most of winds were whispers. "Girls this is Ryan he'll be companying you." "Wait what we have babysit this guy!" The cyan Pegasus asked with annoyance "Oh I don't think he'll need to be babysat he looks tough." The yello Pegasus said with a smile "As long as he doesn't get in our way fine." She said calming down a bit "Right let's go." The purple unicorn said walking towards the exit. //-------------------------------------------------------// 1.Return of harmony part 1 //-------------------------------------------------------// 1.Return of harmony part 1 You fall to your knees as you look around you see many peoples bodies vaporized into dust and very few people like you on their knees begging for the stinging feeling to go away. You slowly start to feel your body surge with a feeling of a bass sound going through your head. You clutched the ground making the ground shake around you. You close your eyes and see eternal darkness. A few hours later... You open your eyes to see a man with dark red veins and dark red electricity on his arms. "Get up kid we have much work to do. What's your name?" He asked "R-Ryan what the hell happened?" You asked "Something that was going to happen. Anyway the names Cole, Cole MacGrath." He helped you up and electrocuted you. You shouted in pain as the electricity coursed through your body. "Relax your body is getting use to the electricity." You stifled your groans of pain as you see your wounds fade away. The feeling was still in your body. You closed your eyes and entered a deep sleep. Dream realm... You woke up in a dark room nothing around nothing with you. You walked and made your way to two doors one had a light blue aura around it the other had a dark red aura. The two doors pressed together and merged into one giant door. As you opened it you felt a surge of energy enter your body. You felt like you were in the middle of a war. One had bug type kind of ponies, the other unicorns,Pegasi,and normal ponies. One was led by a dark ebony pony with bug type wings along with a jagged horn. The other was led by a group of six ponies two were unicorns. Two Pegasi and two regular. You were in the middle of both clans. You saw yourself donning light blue swirls of air the other half dark red. "You choose Ryan." A voice said within your head her voice was feminine and sweet. "What do you mean?" "You choose!" Another voice said almost demanding her voice was feminine but strict "Both clans are at war." The sweet voice said "But only one can win!" The strict voice said "Are you a hero?" "Or a villain?!" "You decided." The voices said in perfect unison The dream started to go away as it did you looked towards the two doors. You opened them to see a bright light. Reality... You woke up in the bayou area of New Marais you got up as you walked into water. You turn to see Cole standing near you. "What the hell happened to those people?" You asked "As for what happened well have you heard of the beast?" He asked "Who the fuck is the beast?" You asked clutching your head in pain "Well let me start from the very beginning." Cole began to tell you about his life as a messenger a courier. He told you about empire city and it's RFI blast basically turning him into a super powered person. He tells you about the first sons and Kessler and how Kessler wanted Cole to be a savior and defeat the beast but Cole laughed at the idea of him using his powers for the greater good. "You sick bastard how could you live with yourself knowing you didn't help." You said angrily "Look kid those choices I made were for me and the people I loved or use to until shit went down here. I'm just saying is that I killed a couple million humans for all the conduits to live without me you'd be dead." His words rang through your head as he was telling the truth without him you'd be dead your life meaning nothing. "Come on kid follow me you're going to be my protégé or some shit. A student." Cole ran off in streak of red lightning. You followed knowing that sooner or later you'd have to figure out your powers and that the human race is dead and nothing you could do can bring them back. As you did the words rang through your head you choose. 6 months later... It's been 6 months since you've gain your capabilities as a conduit you were trained by the best and strongest conduit around. Though he might've trained you hard he taught you that your choices can impact the world around you and some choices can lead you to becoming shunned or praised. "Why do choices matter?" You asked throwing bass bombs. "Kid when you have a choice that choice maybe impact the way people see you. A hero or a villain. I chose to worry about the conduits and their safety sure some don't like the idea of having millions of lives sacrificed for the very few of us that have the gene but some day they'll thank me and you know what makes me special I have the ability to use lightning to my advantage." "So I have sound. What's your point." You asked "I got no point I'm just sayin'." "Right with your powers electricity course through your veins like a fountain spewing out water. With my abilities I can literally see sound they are a beautiful symphony of colors." "Yeah exactly when exactly did you get all deep with me." "Considering most of New Marais thinks of me as a villain just because you're teaching me something' yeah it's fucking picnic." "Hey I need you to go and look at something near my old hideout. There's a strong reading of electricity. If you have any trouble just use what I taught you and here take this." Cole said as he tossed you some brass knuckles. You caught them and charged it up as you did a swirl of vast sounds and winds circled around your fists. "I'll go check out whatever the hell the thing is." You jumped off the building and proceeded to run towards the streets. Some of the other visits hated you for the sole reason you were taught by Cole or the monster that killed humanity as they called him. You really didn't care for your reputation here as it meant nothing. Your current reputation here was villain rep played a big role here. Anything Cole taught you made you more of a villain then a hero. Getting what you want was the current standing. But you were more or less neutral on the whole thing. You weren't hero or a villain just following orders. You then thought of taking the fast way around so you jumped on a rail and sped through the city and towards Cole's old hideout. You climbed from window sill from window sill until you were on top of the building. You felt a large surge of energy pass through your body as you fell to your knees. You crawled as you groan in pain trying to find the source and not to disappoint your mentor. You looked up to see another person on roof with you, he or she had a good on so you couldn't tell who the person was. "So you must be Ryan. Huh you look banged up let me take you somewhere, somewhere where you're reputation is known only as creature. The choices you make will impact those around you, and hey you might even find a girlfriend but that's all in due time. Anyway forgive me my name's Discord and you'll be my little puppet for the time being." The man grabbed you by your neck as you tried to sound wall him making only stagger Your hearing became lowered as you couldn't hear what he was saying. You knew that meant that you were close to dying, you were slowly becoming deaf. "Ha you're weak dont even try Ryan." He said as a bright light absorbed your body making you and discord disappear Equestria Royal gardens... Your eyes open to see the starry sky above. You felt the ground and grassy hill you were on. You rose from your fallen state and used echo location. Your sound waves hit many other obstructions as you visualized yourself in a garden. You also visualized at least ten people coming towards your location they were heavily armored wielding spars and swords. As you got up you fell back down on to the ground you looked up to see a man his face covered. "We have an intruder captain!" He shouted but it sounded more like a whisper. Another man approached you and examined you, he then order the few guards to pick you up. "Silver star take him to the dungeon we need to inform the princess about him." The commanding officer said to his guard member. "Yes Shining Armor sir." You were hit upside the head with the butt of a crossbow making you unconscious. "The rest of you stay and guard, search for anymore intruders." Shining said "Yes captain."
