Before Times Edge

  The storm raged against the window as Kira peered out, looking over the town. He couldn't tell if this was a planned storm by the pegasi or a natural phenomenon. His thoughts were scattered by a knocking sound that came from the front door. The voice that followed the door opening was a brash sounding voice, which was backed up by Twilights voice and the sound of a rain storm. The voice sounded very confused and angry. It asked if Twilight knew about this storm and if it was planned without her knowing. This puzzled Kira even more. Had the transportation to this world caused a influx in mana? If this was so the mana pool of this world was rejecting the mana from which Kira draws his. To make matters worse he could feel his phazon manifestation getting worse, which means he needed to get his EM Wave suit working soon.

  "Kira, I would like you to meet one of my friends, Rainbow Dash" Twilight said as she walked up behind him. The blue Pegasus looked at Kira, giving him a very fascinated look. She trotted up to him and did a couple circles around examining his body, growing more puzzled in every examination she did.

  "You are the Weirdest pony I have every seen" Rainbow finally said.

  "Well... that's because he isn't one, he is a human." Twilight explained giving a slight smile and a chuckle.

  "A human? That's new... What can he do?" Rainbow chuckled

  "I can do lots of things, but right now my primary concern is that storm out side. Tell me Rainbow, did you know that a storm was scheduled for today? I do know that you help schedule the storms." Kira questioned as he started to pace beside the window.

  "That's what I came to see Twilight about! What the buck do those ponies think they are doing, Apple Jack had to do her harvests today!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

  "I fear that it was not your brothers and sisters Rainbow. I have a feeling that the mana I brought with me caused a monster to rise from the ever free forest. Twilight, you have your fuse box in the basement right?" Kira asked.

  "Y-yes, why do you ask?"

  "I am charging my EM wave suit and heading out to the eye of the storm." Kira stated running downstairs.

  "Wait! You can't go into the middle of a storm that is suicide!" Twilight yelled.

  "I can tell there is no stopping him... I am going with him." Rainbow dashed down the stairs. Twilight was standing there puzzled. She then let out a sigh and shrugged knowing that there was nothing she could do.

  Down stairs Kira ripped open the fuse box and plugged in his EM gauntlet into the out lit found in the box, the house then went dark. He then heard someone trip and fall down the stairs. Not initially concerned about that he looked at his gauntlet. It was charged, enough at least for a battle if he needed to fight one. He then clicked the wave transform button on the gauntlet. Electricity shot from the gauntlet and enveloped him for a brief second. everything went dark.

  Rainbow was rubbing her head and mumbling to herself. She was then blinded by a brilliant light that lit up the whole room like an explosion. After everything went dark she rubbed her eyes and squinted at the figure that stood beside the fuse box. Red lines started to glow in a pattern, then the visor glowed a deep crimson red. The suit dawned some light on the figure who she could only assume was Kira. Red bolts of electricity bolted out of the wing like appendages on his back and the skeleton of the suit wings spread filling with a bright red haze of electro magnetic waves. Rainbow dash looked in awe, she was stunned at the spectacle. She never before had seen anything like this. Then Rainbow that she was face to face with Kira as he walked towards the stairs.

  "So I heard you wanted to come with me." Kira stated walking past her up the stairs.

  "Yeah if that's okay with you." She said giving a embarrassed smile.

  "As long as you are not in the way, it is fine by me." Kia told her.

  "What in Celestias name went on down there!?" Twilight shouted at Kira as he walked towards the front door. she was obviously pissed off, and wanted to be in the loop of things.

  "I used the fuse box to power my wave suit. Rainbow and I are gong to check out what's going on with that storm, if you don't hear from us... prepare for the worst." Kira then flew off leaving scorched grass behind outside the front door. Rainbow soon followed him. Twilight bit her lip, feeling quite concerned about the situation that was developing. She wondered about he possibility of Equstria going into a war as Kira said. She then went to lay in her bed and think things over.

******************************************

  Both the human and the Pegasus flew towards the eye of the storm, Kira flying faster than usual.

  " So... What are you looking for in the eye of the storm?" Rainbow Dash asked Kira and she flew along side him. she could also feel the heat that the suit generated as she kept steady pace with him.

  " I am hoping that it is only a temporal anomaly, but chances are it is a rift dragon. these storms only appear when one finds a tear in the fabric of space in time, it tends to jump into the universe and destroy everything that lives here. I have only face three of them in my life. Only one defeated me, and in turn, destroyed a close friend of mine and his whole entire race. You could say that me and these creatures have "bad blood"" Kira explained. He was then about to open his mouth again when a ball of blue flames burst out of the cloud hitting Rainbow Dash in the wing.

  "KIRA!" She screamed in pain as she fell into a tree bellow. Kira looked up to the clouds in anger and lifted his equipped arm cannon and shot furiously into the eye of the storm.

  "Foolish Kira... you may be wise in many ways, but the rift will always have your soul, we want it back you know." a voice said through the clouds. the voice was familiar to Kira, then the realization hit him.

  "Xerxes... why are you here? what are your dealings with this world?" Kira shouted back.

  "Its not about our dealings with this world, it is a bout our dealings with you, I am only a herald of your demise, your death is inevitable." the voice replied.

  "Like hell it is!" Kira fired repeatedly into the cloud, hitting nothing. the storm then dispersed and the sky settled. panting he turned his attention to the downed Pegasus who laid in the trees bleeding. Her wing was missing, her skin was also scorched, looking like third degree burns. He flew down to retrieve her. Holding her into her arms he rushed to Twilights library.

  "The rift huh? Sounds like a invitation to raise some hell. First lets get her to Twilights." Kira said flying off towards the library.
