"All right then, if pegasi can do it, then come high water so can I!" Garry prep talk himself from the top of Twilight's library balcony. It bothered him so that he had a pair of wings, but he could only manage to move them slightly. Today he was going to learn how to use his wings with the help of his love truly, Twilight Sparkle.

"You can do it Garry! Its just aerodynamics mix with gravity!" Twilight shouted from below. Garry gave a nervous wave to her. He took a deep breath, looking over the the edge. He estimated that it was it look like a thirty foot drop. He took one step and fell.

The the air wrap around his body as he fell head first. Garry wings were straighten out, letting the air glide across his feathers. The ground was coming closer and closer to Garry. His heart was pounding as he fell. He flapped his wings trying to get lift. He failed to do so. He panicked as he was only mere feet away from a bad fall. His heart stop dead cold. his eyes closed reflexively.

Then he stopped in mid air.

He open his eyes and saw Twilight had a hold of him with her magic. She gently put him down on his feet. Garry rubbed his sleeves of his white shirt like trying to dust himself off.

"Well," Garry started. "How close was I this time?" He questioned.

"Forty-eight attempts and forty-eight failures. I say your doing well?" Twilight smiled nervously with a squee

Garry face palmed, "Twi, I don't think this 'natural instincts' approach to flight is doing me any favors."

Twilight looked to the side as she tapped her chin with a hoof. "Why don't you ask my friend Rainbow Dash to help you out!"

Garry folded his arms and gave Twilight a deadpan look.

"What?"

"The Rainbow Dash that give me extra rain on me when a storms rolls in to town?"

"Yes."

"The Rainbow Dash that despises my guts because of what I am?"

"Ummm..."

"The Rainbow Dash that accused me of theft?"

"I told her that I loaned you those books."

"The Rainbow Dash that spread rumors that I am some evil deity from Tartarus."

"I told everypony that your an extraterrestrial being from another universe."

"The Rainbow Dash that.."

"Okay, okay, I get it, you two don't see eye to eye," Twilight sighs.

"Quite literally and fugitively speaking." Garry said with a slight chuckle. Finding that his remark carried no amusement to Twilight, he clear his throat. "Anyway, I think these wings are more aesthetic then practical." Garry expanded his wings and gesturing to them.

"Thats not true!" Twilight retorted. "Scans of your nerve ending show that they are indeed capable of control."

This was true. Twilight sat down with Garry a while back. She tried to explain were Garry's unique magic origins are. Accidentally she discovered that not only that the wings Garry used not only are capable of movement, but also imitate magic similar of how other pegasus use there magic for flight and control of the weather.

Garry shrugged his shoulders again with a small smile. Twilight used her magic to materialize a quill and a stroll. "Well lets see; falling from the balcony, check," Twilight check off a square. "Asking advice from other pegasus, check. Looking through flight books, check. Tips from Rainbow Dash." She looked at Garry as she trotted in circles around him with a single raised eyebrows. "Check. Hmmm what about..." Garry started to zone out.

He looked up to the sky. So I have magic like an unicorn and have the potential to fly high in the sky. But what the point? Garry looked back at Twilight with a smile on his face. Well as long as Twilight is happy and safe, then there is really no need is there? His train of thought gave him comfort that he dearly need for his failures to preform flight.

"Oh! Why didn't I think of that before!" Twilight bounced.

"Oh ah what?" Garry came down to Equetria. He needed to ask Twilight why he had the urge to protecter her later.

"Fluttershy!" Twilight squeed. Her ears shot straight into the air.

"Um your yellow pegasus friend? What about her?" Garry scratched his head.

"She can teach you some flying techniques." Twilight used her magic to materialize her check list supplies. "She is not the best flyer, but she doesn't have to be! she can show you the most basics to get you going." Twilight clopped her hooves together in delight. She looked back at Garry head tilted, "What do you think?"

Garry tucked a finger under his chin, pondering the idea. Hmm Twi does have a point about just getting the basics down, plus she's the one who help me get back on my feet when I first 'fell' here. However, will she still be afraid of me? Garry nodded his head confirming his decision. "Worth a try."

Off they went. The angel from a different land with his purple marefriend off to see the kindest pony in all of Equestria.


It was high noon when Garry and Twilight reached Fluttershy cottage He noticed that there were a number of areas fenced off with chicken coops along with other various building to house animals. He glanced a pig trough. His mouth started to water at the mer thought of meat. Perhaps it would be possible to convince her to 'barrow' a chicken or a pig. His thoughts were quickly forgotten when Twilight knocked on the cottage's door.

"Who is it?" A gentle voice came from behind the door.

"Its me Fluttershy," Twilight called back. The door swung open, revealing a yellow pegasus with a pink flowing mane and tail. Her main covered her left side of her face, relieving only one light turquoise eye.

"Why hello Twilight what brings-" The yellow pegasus started before she cut herself self off. Her gaze shifted to Garry. She back away from the door, her head slightly bowed as her mane shielded her face from him.

She's not afraid of me, but she's not greeting me either. Progress. Garry thought to himself as Twilight spoke to her friend. "Sorry to bother you-"

"Oh no, um, its ok," Fluttershy whispered still not making eye contact with either of her guests.

"You see Fluttershy, I was wonder if you could teach Garry here to fly?" Twilight tried to coax the timid pegasus.

"G-garry doesn't have any wings." Fluttershy peeped out. Garry realized his wings were tucked behind his back. From her stand point she could not see what he was caring. With that, Garry unfurled his wings and spread them for full view. Fluttershy gasp in awe.

"Oh, oh my gosh!" Fluttershy said with an excited tone. She blasted through Twilight knocking on her back as she hovered besides Garry. "This is so...incredible! These wings are so pretty." She used her hooves to examine the wing. This caused some laughter from Garry.

"F-f-flu Ahhahahaha! Thats tickles!" Garry squirmed from her touch. He flapped his wings, causing him to raise the ground a mere half a foot before he quickly descended. "w-whoa!" he wobbled as he landed.

"Wow Garry, you actually flew off the ground!" Twilight complemented.

"Way to go Garry, yay" Fluttershy said in a gentle motherly voice. Garry rubbed the back of his head with a slight blush not making any contact with the two mares. Fluttershy giggled at the display of slight embarrassment.

"Well Garry, Twilight, I just made some fresh tea, would you both like to join me out back?"

Twilight smiled at her friend, "We would love to Fluttershy"


Garry, Fluttershy, and Twilight all sat around a table drink fresh herbal tea. To Garry, the tea cup felt like an espresso cup back on earth, but the tea was to die for. "Hmmm this is wonderful Fluttershy what is it?" Garry ask as he finished his cup.

"Oh, its a blend that i never heard before. I got it from a pony that wasn't from around here." Fluttershy blushed a bit. Twilight tilted her head.

"A new pony? How come I didn't hear about him from Pinkie Pie?"

"I don't know, he must of just came through selling his tea blend." Fluttershy looked at Twilight with some thought. Twilight hummed in agreement. This spiked Garry's curiosity, I wonder if news of an alien is spreading further then Ponyville?

"What did this stallion looked like?" Garry asked

"Oh he was very dashing." Fluttershy admired. "He had a long mane, kinda like yours Garry. He also had some red eyes with a dark coat hmmm." She explained.

Red eyes? This single thought ran shivers down his spine. The description seemed oddly familiar. "Fluttershy, were exactly did you meet this pony?" Garry said with urgency.

Just then the air started to stir. The clouds became to turn black. The mares and Garry stood in alarm. From the corner of Garry's eye he noticed a dark mist began to form in front of the three of them. The mist turned slowly began to take shape of an unicorn. First is body took shake. Dark blue fur started to form. This the pony mane to shake next. His mane style was similar to Garry's, short and dark brown.

The mist dissipated, leaving a pony left. His eyes were closed. Fluttershy quivered as the sight. Twilight stood next to her friend in a defensive stance. Garry stood in shock at the sight. He felt he knows this creature somewhere, He just knew it, like a long lost friend, exept he had a feeling this was no friend.

The unicorn open his eyes, revealing a dark crimson red eyes. He grinned, revealing menacing fangs. He spoke with a dark growl with a slight charm.

"Garry, Fluttershy." Then he looked to the purple unicorn, now wearing a fierce face. "Whore" he growled at her.

"Just who are you!" Twilight stomped at the intruder.

The pony chuckled devilishly at the brave unicorn. "My my, it seems some unicorn has her mane in a knot." He chuckled again. "I have any names, But Im sure if you truly want to know, you should ask your winged pet who I am." A shot of adrenaline screamed through Garry. That voice, he knows that voice.

"No, no you cant be real, your just a dream!" Garry pointed a shakily finger at the dark unicorn. He chuckled again.

"Oh I'm more then just a dream." He purred. Then his body began to change. He took his true form. He grew arms, legs, a human face. However his skin was a pure dark over tone. His nails on his hand seem more like claws. A dark aura steamed off his body.

Twilight seen enough. She tried to summon a fireball to throw at the new threat, but it seemed to come to pass. She grunted as she tried to further to achieve the spell. The demon cackled in amusement. Garry felt felt something, like static electricity building up.

"Having problems with your magic, Twilight Sparkle?" The evil figure snide at her. Fluttershy tried to flap her wings, but could not obtain any flight to flee. The demon took notice. "Where you think your going?" He made himself a shadow and slithered across the field to the party of frighten individuals. Half of his shadow crawled up Fluttershys body, freezing her in place. He places a hand on her cheek, caressing her check with a claw. "Don't you think I'm a dashing stallion?" Fluttershy inhaled sharply at his touch.

"Don't you dare touch her!" Garry shouted as he reach out to grab the unholy wraith away from her timid friend. It slithered away from the group and floated in mid air in full form.

"Ahhh yes that hidden fighting spirit from the ol' Garry Angle, was wondering when that will arise from the depths of your heart." He raised his hand, a crackling fire danced in his palm. Garry could feel the ground start to sizzle as if meat were on a frying pan. The mosnster before them gave all three of them murderous smile.

"Lets see how well your fighting spirit is when you and your friends are BURNED TO ASHES!!"

And with a simple flick of his wrist, Garry, Twilight, Fluttershy and her cottage at the edge of the Everfree Forest, were consumed by a giant column of blacken flame.
