Ashes to Equestria.

A big portal opens from the skies letting a man fall from it smashing himself on the dirt sending instant pain to his body.

This man is all dirty and has a long beard that has been accumulating through the years. His clothes are nothing but rags that makes him look like a vagabond. Despite this, he is well shaped because of his years of fighting the evil.

Trying to calm the pain. He rubs his only hand through his entire head feeling his dirty, greasy and long hair; grumbling, he says, "Ouch... Damn portals, they always make me fall from the skies."

The night is coming quickly and the sun leaves room for the moon.

He regained himself by standing up and looking to his surroundings, "oh, for god's sake...", as his previous summons have given him any hint; for one, it always will leave him far from civilizations and his summoner; two, he will fall right into action. This was really bad luck, indeed; he was in a cemetery... A god damn cemetery, where the evil usually took his bloody army.

The fog was covering the graveyards as the moon got into its final movement. Only then, is when the tombstones began to fly into the skies while the familiar sound of the undead started, assuring him that he'll not be alone for the time being. He quickly turned on his hand-chainsaw to be prepared. To his surprise the first deadite was not a human but a horse rotten to the core.

The pony standing now in front of him said in a menacing way, “I’ll munch your soul!"

Normally, he would be surprised but along his journey through the dimensions, he even had to deal with talking bunnies. So, he did what anyone would do in his position.

Shoot the damn thing.

So, Ash took his trusty sawn-off shotgun and pointed it directly to its face, he deadpanned, "Munch on this."

As expected the horse's head exploded in a hammer-watermelon fashion.

He puts himself in fighting stance waiting for the un-dead to come.

Another perk that his travels unlocked is the one of developing a unique fighting style called 'The Chainsaw', yes, perhaps being in all those years of fighting and rotting his brain almost to insanity let the good part of him go. His cleverness started to fade along with his hope, finding almost a psycho along the way.

A deadite was approaching him with all the bad intentions, so he made this move called 'The Bloody Tornado' which consisted on him spinning with the help of the blood on the floor to twist rapidly and cutting most of the heads if surrounded; cutting the deadite's head instantly with a raw of the chainsaw.

Ash quickly stopped in the action eyeing the monsters ahead, "Come one, let's dance."

The deadites stared at him wide eyed and one of them questioned, "Who are you?"

Ash shrugged, "Your worst nightmare."

Ash's patience faded away as his bloodthirst started to become evident in a warcry that the deadites feared.

He runned at full velocity and using a tombstone to gain altitude made this movement called 'The Hammer' on the air; he aim at the deadite with his chainsaw to cut him on half.

Quickly taking out the shotgun from it's resting place he aim for the closest deadite on sight, blowing his head off in a tomato-sausage way making the corpse kneel before the king.

Another one of the deadites attacked Ash so he received him with a movement called 'Slaying Neck' which consisted on him jumping to an inclination of 45 degrees with his hand-chainsaw aim for to the neck; slaying it like butter falling to his closest feet on the ground kneeling to lower the impact on the floor.

Almost instantly. A deadite nearby took advantage of his position only to find himself with the movement 'Stabbing Boomstick' which consisted on Ash stabbing his chainsaw on the enemy's belly finding itself face to face with the man who nodded; afterwards, receiving a shot to the head with the shotgun.

The deadites started to roar in anger, there was no need to keep waiting. So all of them charged against him. His counterback was this movement called 'The Dancing Chainsaw' that was a combination between the movement 'Slaying Neck', 'Bloody Tornado' and 'Stabbing Boomstick'. Needless to say, that the heads rolled like marbles and no deadite stands.

Heh, you may wonder why he didn't reloaded his shotgun or why the hell his chainsaw didn't run low on gasoline after all this years as well as the ammo. The thing is; he indeed ran out on this two for a while. Those were dark times were he seemed to die; only surviving from the weapons the deadites provided him with. But a magician from another planet enchanted his weapons so he don't needed to worry about his primary weapons.

Ash twisted his shotgun from the holder after the last movement and place it back on it's place shrugging at the death corpses, "Never mess with the king, baby."

After this words. A dead pegasi took him from behind elevating him 20 feet.

Ash always hated when someone sneaked behind him; made him feel weaker. So, he invented this other movement to counter the action:

'Blind Slaying' which consisted on him focusing all his strength and speed on his hand-chainsaw, spinning his torso so the hit cuts instantly the attacker.

He found himself falling again but this time he was ready when landing he instantly rolled on the floor making the weight balance.

Ash looked on the direction where he once was but he didn't like the sight. Before him was an army of pegasi. So, he facepalmed, "Oh, god..."

There was only so much he could take. Even, an army was too much for him. He was no immortal. So, he did what any man would do.

Run like a little bitch.

He runs as hell entering some nearby forest to hide, turning off his chainsaw in the way. He stayed still on the shadows in some bushes.

The pegasi looked around in frenzy for the man. One of them was getting close to Ash's hiding spot founding him. Immediately the deadite turned around his head to alert the others but Ash won't let him covering its mouth with his only hand wrapping the other arm around its neck; he made a quick spin breaking the neck in a crack. He hides the body in the bushes after the moment.

Eventually, the pegasis left flying. So, he left his hiding spot allowing a breath he didn't know he was holding.

"Damn! That was close!"

Ash wiped the sweat from his forehead and began his journey to find his/her summoner. Maybe, if he headed towards the deadites direction he would find something.

So, he did. The journey was at the least... comfortable. Nothing interesting happened. Except for the occasional wild-life running down the bushes, predators staring at him but no daring a movement because they watched the whole fight between the deadites and Ash.

Five minutes passed and he found himself in the most habitual scenery. One of chaos, pure chaos; Buildings burning, deadites killing innocent ponies, ponies fighting back, pegasi using lightning to burn deadites... and one in particular;  a pink pony with fluffy hair using a cannon to explode the deadites like a tanking support. She was the most capable of them all so Ash made his move and went to help the mare. But when he was almost near her; she fired to him and with the reflexes of a cat he ducked and throw himself on a special-agent fashion with sawn-off on hand directly looking for the mare's head.

Ash was not amused but it was pretty normal for them to try and kill him when he first approached, so he just gave her a warning.

"I'm on your side... but try that again and you may not be here next time"

The pony merely nodded with a big grin.

A deadite was heard by Ash when he was pointing his gun to the mare so he immediately turned around his shotgun and aim at the deadite in front of him and pulled the trigger in the last second making it explode in a potato-petard in fentom camera way-ish. Ash smiled and turned to the mare.

"You better listen, baby."

The mare nodded and listened as another deadite was coming and she out of nowhere got an apple pie to throw it on the deadite's head making him fall to the ground as the sweet exploded along with the head. She smiled and looked at Ash in the eye.

"You'll never know. I'm full of surprises."

Ash was impressed but would not admit since he saw it like the fourth time in his travels. Randomisers as he would call them; beings capable of breaking their world's physics rules. Naturally, they were geniuses since they could predict almost the future. Normally, they would have shenanigans and antics no one would understand but Ash actually understands them since he knows parallel dimensions actually existed; making the impossible, possible.

"Not bad, baby, not bad."

The mare smiled once more and extended her hoof in a shake-hands fashion.

"By the way, my name is Pinkie Pie!"

Ash grabbed her hoof and made a strong shake.

"Name's Ash, pony-girl."

Pinkie Pie replied coyly.

"Ha-ha, I know silly. I read the introduction."

Ash shrugged and let go of her hoof.

"Ah, so someone is writing about me now, great..."

Pinkie Pie replied playfully.

"Oh, don't worry. I'm pretty sure everything is gonna be alright!"

Pinkie narrowed her eyes and stared at the narrator.

"Or is it, Mr. Narrator?"

Not gonna spoil anything, Pinkie...

Pinkie made the 'I'm watching you' gesture and stared at a now laughing Ash. He always enjoyed when someone fought with the current observant.

They didn't notice but when they were meeting each other a bunch of deadites have been crowding around the two of them all confused and angry.

Ash looked around anxious and Pinkie too. They were just too many maybe meeting each other in the heat of fight wasn't a good idea...

Pinkie narrowed her eyes again and looked at your humble narrator.

"You better watch your step, buddy. You might find something crawling around..."

Yeah, sure, Pinkie. You have no power in here!

Pinkie had venom in her voice.

"Will see about that, creep. I know were you live."

*Gulps*

Ash interrupted Pinkie from her arguing.

"Pinkie, it's been fun and all... but we really should kick some ass, right now."

Pinkie came back to reality and apologised.

"Oh, yeah! Sorry about that. I went just a little-tiny-bit about that."

You damn right!

Pinkie facehoofed.

"You're not helping!"

Not my problem!

Ash pointed his shotgun at...

*BANG*

*Sound of a body falling to the ground*

God dammit! Tim! What have you done, monster!?

Ash pointed his finger at the crew.

"Now, you listen and listen god damn right! I had enough of your antics so you better keep doing your job or I'll show you a world of pain!"

Alright, alright... Jeez, why you so mean?!

Okay... Timmy! Is your time to shine!

What?! For real, Tom?! I was waiting for this like, forever!

For the actual narrator to die?

Well... yeah! Finally, I can narrate!

You are one messed up kid, you know...

Ah, that's what they all say...

Ash snapped.

"Alright, cut your bullcrap and start working!"

Alright, alright.

*coughs*

*Hears somebody being drag on the floor*

Oh, god... Juan! Please, clean this mess up!

Si, señor!

*Hears mop being used*

Ash was tapping his foot on the floor as Pinkie was too; both crossing their upper limbs in a waiting-for-your-bullshit-to-be-done fashion like way.

Ash asked; impatience evident in his voice.

"Are you done?"

Yeeesssss.

Pinkie smiled.

The deadites were totally confused so Ash and Pinkie took the opportunity to blood splatter their asses all over the town.

She was using explosives and a pink canon as the man was using his shotgun and the chainsaw.  With a boom over here, a flying piece of a deadite over there. Heads exploding making lots of brains go everywhere. It was a massacre all over the place! I think a pony somewhere revealed the secrets of her stomach, nearby... *Searches for said pony* Oh, yeah! She did! Groooss!

Ash slashed a deadite in half while shooting in another direction to a hellspawn!

"I miss the other narrator"

Pinkie nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, at least he described the fights."

Oh, fuck off. I'm doin' mah best!

Pinkie shushed him.

"Shush you!"

Aaah... but I wanna talk!

Ash stabbed a deadite with his turned on chainsaw as he boom-sticked the bastard!

"Now, now. We don't want to lose another narrator."

I and Pinkie replied as she delivered a present to a confused deadite who then proceeded to open it just to found a boxing glove removing his head from the power of the hit.

"Okay..."

Okay...

Eventually, they got rid of the pest and they continued their journey to Twilight's.

Apparently, he managed to get in time before everyone got killed. The remaining ponies were walking all confused and staring with horror at the massacre. Ash looked at all of them and they looked really terrified. Some of them were staring at him exchanging some glances and quick commentaries. Like:

"What is that thing?” Or “It has to be the responsible for this, we should kill it!”

Ash was getting very mad so when  the said pony who said the last sentence. Ash did what any man would do.

He 2nd amendment the poor bastard. Bare handed...

Ash directed his anger in his voice towards the ponies.

"Listen, now you little suckers. I'm here to help you but if I wanted to. I could just do nothing and let you rot!  So, here are your options. You let me handle this without trouble or I could just sit here and drink beer. Don't doubt for a moment that I haven't did the same thing in another dimensions just to see if I could break free."

The ponies in front of him stared at him struck dumb, scared, incredulous, some were unfazed like expecting the worse.

Ash smiled and waved them goodbye.

"Come one, Pinkie. Lead the way."

She was incredulous as well. He just murdered one of his own without remorse so that calls for being extra carefull to not make him angry.

Just as they were heading towards the town's library a little filly approached the body of the pony who was dumb enough to face Ash's wrath.

"Daddy!"

The filly yelled as she buried her face on the death corpse and started to cry.

Ash turned his head towards the commotion and stared unfazed. Sure, it wasn't the first time he had to prove his power in order to get some respect but it wasn't like it was the right choice always. But most of the times... it was!"

Pinkie stared at Ash for a moment when they were in front of the library.

"Do you really have to be such a meanie-pants?"

Ash didn't liked when someone questioned his judgement.

"Mind your own damn business, honey."

Pinkie got mad.

"This is my business! This are my herd and you have no right to just murder them!"

Ash had an insane grin on his face and stared at her slowly coming closer to her face.

"But I didn't asked to be here. So, your argument is invalid."

He deadpanned at the last sentence.

Pinkie sighed.

"Okay, okay. I get it! I really do! But you gotta stop being so mean. It's just not right! You know?"

Ash stared at her like thinking about it.

Pinkie pressed with puppy eyes.

"Pleeeease!?"

Ash shrugged and petted her mane.

"Sure, but if this happens again I make no promises."

Pinkie sighed once more.

"Fine by me."

Then, Pinkie proceeded to knock the door a couple of times and scream in a cartoonish way.

"Twilight! Open, it's me Pinkie Piiiiiie!!!"

Twilight opened the door so used to Pinkie's antics and received her as best as she could.

"Oh, hey Pinkie. I see you managed to keep alive and…"

Twilight noticed Ash who was on the right of Pinkie and she stared incredulous.

"Who are you?"

Pinkie said quickly before Ash could talk.

“His name is Ash!!! He is the chosen one the book was talking about when you recited the spell to summon him!”

Twilight now in a more welcoming tone but with a suspicious way of speaking started to introduce her.

"Oh… I see. Well, my name is Twilight Sparkle. Can you tell me what is going on?!? I’m a bit of confused. A bunch of zombies began to attack our village!!! And…"

She got interrupted by Ash who was getting annoyed already.

"Hold on. Don’t get mad. I pass through this all the time. First of all. Where’s that damn book?"

Twilight answered very upset. She really didn't enjoy getting interrupted.

"It’s upstairs. I’ve been studying it. Trying to get a solution and the only solution appears to be YOU! Whatever the hell are you?!? Who is claiming to be the chosen one!"

Ash got really angry now, pointing his index finger at her and then his fat finger to him starting to argue.

"Hey! Don’t be a pain in the ass lady. I don’t ask for this life you know! Besides, If I wanted to; I could just do crap for your cause!"

Pinkie interrupted the arguing before it extended into something more serious and extending her arms. She putted herself in the middle of her friends.

"Everypony! Stooooop!"

Twilight opened her mouth to keep fighting but some consideration pass her spirit. She looked at Ash as she talked to Pinkie.

"You are right, Pinkie. We have to get a solution and argue will not get to anything."

Ash looked to another side in annoyance trying to make Twilight lose her nuts as he replied.

"About time, lady…"

Twilight got angry but then again she calmed herself and with a fake smile, stared at Ash.

"I’ll hear, Ashley. What shall we do?”

Ash looked at her with a carefree attitude and answered.  He just loved making someone else angry just for the amusement.

"I don’t know. Usually when I land on another dimension a bookworm has already the solution. I’m only here to kick some ass."

Twilight tried so hard not to get mad but she failed so she began to scream.

"PRICELESS!!! He is the chosen one and don’t know what to do! This is fantastic!  Why are you even here!?! You are useless and you don’t even care for us!"

Ash started to argue again and pointed to Twilight.

"You damn right I don't care about you. But if you keep going that way I will let you rot."

Twilight was really pissed.

.

"What! You are the chosen one! You’re supposed to stop the evil and your only job is already a failure!"

Pinkie with some hope in her eyes to see her friend happy again interrupted.

"Twilight, please. We have to stop this. Apparently, Ash is our only choice here. We should give him a chance."

When Twilight turned to see the floor to think about it. Pinkie immediately looked at Ash in the eye and made an expression of 'are you kidding me?!'

Ash with a playful expression answered with another expression 'I was just testing her, don't you worry.'

Twilight turned to see him in anger. He quickly deadpanned.

A voice in Twilight’s head said.

"Come on. You are Princess Celestia’s protégé. You’re one of the most powerful unicorns on all of Equestria and you’re giving a bad show here. Let’s give a small step and see what happens.”

She cooled her temper.

"Okay, Ash. We have to do something and fighting will not get to anything. Please help us, what can we do in this situation?"

Ash staring at her in a 'was about time' started to formulate.

"In all my travels to other worlds; I happen to notice that some of the solutions are in the place the Necronomicon was found. So, we can always check there."

Twilight brought a hoof to her face as she thought for a moment.

"The Everfree Forest. I found it during one of my visits to Zecora’s. I got lost and when I was walking to found a way out. I founded this particular tower. I felt attracted to it; like if it was calling me and when I got in. A book was sitting in an altar.  I was feeling very excited because I founded a book, a new book! And with my magic; I took it quickly and starting to gallop all the way out of the forest and when I got home to read the book..."

Twilight stopped for a moment to summon a glass of water which she proceeded to drink. I didn't mention it. But she was a mess. Her mane was all dirty and bloody as her coat and she had a tired expression. Once, she gulped the last drop of water she cleared her throat.

"I couldn’t understand a word but with a spell I translated it. Apparently, it was some kind of new magic that only uses words and stimulate the magic that surround us and when I pronounced the words something happened; a bunch of crazy ponies started to attack the village! I freaked out as I started to read the book as fast as i can trying to get a solution."

Twilight dropped a tear and looked down and up to Ash, she continued.

"It took me about a day to found something but only made it worse and... I had to..."

Pinkie saw what was coming; she knew that Spike didn't make it so with all the velocity of breaking physics she hugged Twilight which started to cry and between sobs she finished.

"That’s when I found the spell to summon you and I really hope you help us, Ash."

She wiped her tears as a new fire reborns on Twilight's heart.

"I really don’t know what to do; I’m new to this magic... I would really appreciate if you helped us, Ash."

She stared at Ash with a pleading face and a spark on her eyes that screamed justice.

Ash was not the type who makes a girl plead for help; specially, when they were this brave and strong. So, he started to give indications.

"Okay, but we’re going to get prepared. This is not a child’s play and we’ll need all the help we can."

He pointed to Twilight.

"Make sure to bring your finest warriors"

Twilight nodded and disappeared on a spark of magic.

Ash stared at Pinkie and nodded; she galloped out of the door closing it behind her.

Ash was all alone and he didn't remember the last time he was this alone. Maybe, he would take a nap? It's been long since he didn't sleep very well. So, he started to walk on the living room as he sat on the couch. And exhaling he started to fall asleep. Until, he heard a noise upstairs. He was startled. Maybe, he wasn't alone after all.

Ash began to go upstairs as the wood began to squeak each step he would go. The room was poor lighted with a candle and the place was a mess with papers and books all over it. But what really caught Ash's attention was the Necronomicon standing in Twilight's bed.

Ash was confused.

"Huh?"

Then, the book started to pass pages as fast as a money counter only to fall again in the bed.

Ash began to feel weak and his vision was turning all blurry. He tried to comfort the pain in his head with his only hand as he started to have a mind-trip to god only knows where; falling to his knees. The world started to spin around him as his vision blacked out.

Ash waked up all of a sudden and looking around he tried to decipher where he could be.

"Where the hell...?"

Ash knew well this place and he started to panic.

"Oh, gaawwd... No..."

He was in the cabin of his first encounter sitting on a rocking chair. But he quickly got up and screamed to the skies.

"Noooooooooooooo....!"

But Ash was interrupted as a noise that came from the basement startled him. This was not good. Ash looked at himself and he didn't have his chainsaw but only a double-barrelled shotgun. Did he just returned in time to that point? What was going on? He really started to freak out.

That basement didn’t bring very pleasant memories. But, apparently, he didn't have much of a choice. So, he started to walk carefully pointing his shotgun at the basement's entrance which was open.

The head of the moose on the top of the fireplace stared at him in expectation.

Ash stared at the moose back with fear reflected on his eyes.

What was happening? Why was he there, again? Was all a dream? A really, bad dream?

He was getting closer and closer to the basement as the moose followed him with its eyes all the way long. Getting finally there and standing in front of the little wooden door. He hesitated to step inside since nothing could be seen.

There was darkness.

When he started to descend to the darkness; the moose started to laugh maniacally. Ash tried to ignore the gloomy prediction it meant and started to descend. The little door closed behind him startling the man but It was too late to go back. He couldn’t hear the moose laugh anymore.

Ash descended and descended. But there was not end. Darkness, pure darkness. Not a sound, not a light, not a pain. Like dead.

Suddenly, a light appeared out of nowhere in front of him and he decided to follow it.

^^

An orange pony with a Stetson was poking Ash’s body to search for a response.

Ash opened his eyes and started to yell at the full of his lungs and standing up with a boost of energy attacked the orange pony trying to asphyxiate her with his only hand. Her eyes were fighting his in a dominance fight. But he was hit by a fry-pan delivered by Pinkie. Ash made a goofy grin and collapsed on top of the orange one.

Pinkie tried to remove Ash's body.

"Applejack! Are you okay?"

Applejack answered between pants.

"I'm... okay, Pinkie Pie. It just..."

She was on four again and looked at Ash. She was really pissed. So, she delivered a hit with her hoof after spitting at the floor where he lyed.

"This piece of shit! Here tried to choke me!"

^^

Ash opened his eyes.

He was in the cabin, again. Sitting on the chair he looked around the bloody mess of the living room. This was starting to get annoying so he decided to leave this shit-hole. And directed his movements to the door.

Slamming the door Ash started to run into the forest watching as some trees moved and some deadites started to move in his direction. That was the least of his problems because he heard the only noise that chilled his spine.

The evil spirit was after him.

The spirit was faster than Ash and he was insanely running from it; avoiding evil trees trying to block his way, deadites that somehow managed to jump from the trees. But it was not enough. It took him and started to move him very fast through the forest twisting him past the darkness as deadites praised to the hells; until, it smashed Ash on another tree.  Ash stayed still on the ground for a moment as the deadites started to surround him. He began to feel power on his body. He stands up and looks around the deadites.

Looking at his only hand he saw a spark. So, he closed his eyes and let the power take over...

^^

The six ponies around Ash started to look at each other.

The white pony asked to Twilight.

"What is it Twilight?! That foul beast just tried to choke our friend, Applejack!"

Twilight answered with a sigh.

"His name is Ash and he is the chosen one. The one is supposed to stop the evil."

Twilight looked at Ash's body for a moment and bit her lips.

"I really don’t think we should put our hopes on him, Rarity. He just attacked our good friend, Applejack, for no reason."

Pinkie defended him against her friends.

"No! Don't be too harsh on him! Sure, he made some mistakes but we really should give him a chance since he knows how to deal with this kind of situations!"

Applejack didn’t agree.

"How can you be on his side after what he done to me, Pinkie?!"

Rainbow Dash flies in front of Pinkie in protection mode.

"Now, now, Applejack. Don't take it on, Pinkie."

Applejack yelled at Rainbow's face spitting little drops.

"Don't you defend that thing too! He just tried to kill meh!"

Rainbow Dash was not amused.

"I'm not defending it. I was defending Pinkie from you, Applejack. What's wrong with you, girl?!"

Applejack continued her yells.

"What's wrong with me? WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?! A freakin' alien just tried to KILL ME!"

They were all arguing between each other. Except for one pegasus that didn't liked trouble. But she noticed that Ash's body was emanating some sort of power and as a member of their circle of friends it was her duty to let them know.

"Uhmmm.... Girls?"

But she failed since her voice was barely audible for anyone to hear. That, however, didn't stop her from trying louder.

"Uh... Girls?"

Another failed attempt. But she was losing her patience as well.

"GIIIRLSS!!!"

All of them turned their heads to she and putted some attention. She was terrified by the sudden change of heat that was directed at her.

"Yes, Fluttershy?"

However, she got courage and pointed to Ash's body.

"Look at him!"

All of them now turned their attention to the red aura surrounding him.

Applejack screamed in perturbation.

"What in Tarnation?!"

No one else had the time to say a word because as the last word left Applejack's lips an immense power send them flying through the ceiling and into the bottom floor.

The only strong enough to maintain herself on that floor was Rainbow Dash struggling to not get pushed by the release of Ash’s power. Her face cheeks were moving furiously as she struggled with her wings to not fall the ceiling while the air moved at an impressionable velocity

Once the release stopped. Rainbow Dash was the only pony who could watch what happened so she noticed Ash’s transmutation.

Ash was looking red, ripped and some lightings of power crossed all over his body. Rainbow Dash stared at him in awe and confusion. So, she started to call for her friends.

"Uhmm... guys? Come over here! Quick!"

Twilight could hear Rainbow Dash’s calls and with heaviness she started to stand up to recover from the hit the fall caused.

The other ponies were doing the same.

Pinkie felt backwards and with a quickly movement she put herself in four again. Rarity was being helped to stand up by Applejack and Fluttershy couldn't be seen anywhere.

Pinkie noticing Fluttershy was missing. She let the other ones know and with worry on her voice said.

"Oh my sugary, lord! Where’s Fluttershy!?"

All the ponies around Pinkie took notice as well and they started to look for her between the mess of the library.

Rarity approached a vase and sticks her head in it.

"Fluttershy! Where are you darling?"

Applejack was walking around the library in search for her lost friend.

"Fluttershy come out wherever you are!"

Pinkie was on top of a mountain of books and she perceived a little voice asking for help. She puts inside the mountain of books her hoof and like a rabbit in a trick show she got out Fluttershy.

Fluttershy was heavily breathing and with a smile on her face she said.

"Ah, thank you very much, Pinkie! I don’t know what could have happened if I kept down there!"

Pinkie laughed and replied.

"You would probably choke to death. But you are welcome!"

Once she finished the last sentence in a sing-sang voice. Fluttershy stared at the reader with a face saying. 'She is kidding, right?'

^^

Ash in anger and courage started to destroy the deadites around him with his bare hand; taking them by the throat and ripping it like a watermelon piece. Others, he just ripped their spine and started to use it as a weapon swinging it around like a mad man.

They were a lot, even more than his first encounter with them on the cemetery.

This time he got all the power he needed to deal with them

His double-barrelled was looking very demoniac and it had a lot of strength. Even it was capable of shooting lightnings every time he pressed the trigger. The power made multiple dead-ponies explode and make every piece of them go everywhere in a rain of blood like in his first encountering with the demons. Evil trees didn't stayed out of the battle as one of them grabbed him by the torso in a menacing way looking to destroy his ribs. But Ash took its fingers and broke them one by one until it let go. As he landed he aimed his trusty double-barreled shooting the tree as evil savia started to rain. Now, the deadites was the last of his problems. The forest itself started to attack.

But he would not give quarters to this son's of bitches. He started to shoot his shotgun as if of a Winchester was. Destroying every tree, leave, little moving stick. Even the deadites received their dosis of pain.

Finally, while fighting the last horde in awe. He finished the last one putting it on the floor while he started to punch it furiously until the deadite's head was nothing but a bloody bulb.

Demonic Ash was in exhaustion and heavily breathing with his face covered in sweat and blood. He let of the deadite go and screamed to the heavens in challenge. The transformation ran out after the scream.

Ash was looking confused at his environment. In surprise and curiosity he looked at himself as he grabbed with the tips of his fingers his clothes. He was covered in blood and on his surrounding there were lots of dead deadites. He was disgusted.

^^

Twilight was carrying a glass of water with her magic. She was taking it to throw it at Ash who abruptly waked up.

Ash was breathing like he was missing the air. He looked terrified at his surroundings. The six ponies were looking at Ash but this time in surprise, hope and expectation. Was there something he missed?

Twilight taking the lead with a question asked.

"What was that Ash? Why didn’t you tell Pinkie and me that you could do that? You gave us a good scare!"

Ash was confused by her question and looking at her asked.

"Say what again? What did I do?"

Rainbow Dash in excitation yelled in awe.

"The thing! The transformation you made while you were sleeping! It was so cool! How did you learn it?!?"

Ash was very confused right now and trying to look for answers, he asked.

"Hold on a minute. Are you saying I transformed?"

Twilight explained the situation to clear it once and for all.

"Ash, it appears that you somehow managed to steal some power from those demons as you clearly transformed into one."

Ash looked at her in realization.

"Now, that you mention it. I appeared at the cabin were all began. The first time; I was descending through a basement with no end."

He looked down for the piece of memory as he went into rambling mode.

"And the second time. I didn’t know what happened but I was surrounded by corpses and I was covered in blood."

All the six ponies were terrified by his declaration.

Ash was staring at them in expectation as an uncomfortable silence was involving the environment. Fluttershy was trembling; Twilight had a worried expression; Applejack was looking at him in distrust and getting at the defensive by any movement he made; Rarity was disgusted; Rainbow Dash was looking at him in fear and expectation; Pinkie had a gloomy expression.

Ash trying to disperse the heavy environment talked.

"Heya… listen…"

All the ponies exalted. Applejack got in a defensive position; Fluttershy got behind Rainbow as she put herself in a defensive mode; Twilight prepared her horn; Rarity summoned a diamond sword and Pinkie got her canon out of nowhere.

Ash putted his hands on the air and with a not-do-any-harsh-decisions on his face; he removed his chainsaw and shotgun far away from him as he tried to stop the treat of the ponies with his only hand.

"Wait, hold on a minute."

Then, he pointed to himself to make a declaration.

"I’m not the enemy. I would never hurt anyone without a good reason. I’m not the bad guy and you know it!"

As the second statement left Ash's lips he pointed to them furiously.

The ponies were looking at him examining his words and face.

He looked in concern and was heavily respiring.

Twilight stared at Ash for a moment and in an accusation tone she started to deliver her response.

"Do you? How can I trust someone that turns into a demon?"

Ash tried to convince them again.

"I don’t know what happened. Honest."

Applejack talked this time.

"That’s more reason! How can we know for sure we will be safe if you turn again in that thing?!? Even in your straight head you tried to choke me!"

Ash didn’t know how to answer that and he proposed.

"If you don’t trust me. Then, let me go to the forest alone to resolve this situation and I'll disappear forever from your lives. You won't worry about me, anymore. Deal?"

He extended his hand for a shake to close the deal.

Rainbow Dash slapped his hand with her hoof.

"How do we know that you don’t work for them and you are going to tell them our secrets!?!"

Ash was starting to lose his patience as he made his hand a fist to let them know he is frustrated.

"I don’t know anything about you other than you are talking horses! For god's sake. Just let me go!"

Pinkie corrected.

"Ponies! We are ponies!"

Ash in annoyance and with his hands trying to back her out because she got too near.

“Okay, okay. Talking ponies! But please! You got to listen to me! I’m not the enemy here.”

And pointing to the window added.

"Those things out there, are. And they are not going to stop until all of you are dead or worse!"

All the ponies exchanged some glances as Ash waited in expectation.

The ponies finally took a decision and taking away their defensive positions stared at Ash in resolution.

Twilight took the word from there and tried her best to comfort Ash.

"Okay, Ash. We will believe you. For now..."

She changed to a gloomy expression as she said the last statement.

"We have better business than trying to figure out if you are one of them."

She summoned a pipe with tobacco as she lit it with magic and took a deep inhalation and exhale the smoke into Ash's face.

"For now, we are going to take you with us and you’re going to follow our instructions. But if you try anything funny... "

Ash dismissed the idea with his hand in annoyance.

"Yeah, yeah... You'll kill me. I got it."

Twilight smiled at him with her awesome pipe on mouth.

Ash stands up and searched for his weapons finding them and putting them on their respective places. He licked his lips and putted a serious gaze.

"Alright, let's go."

Twilight took the lead and asked to everyone.

"Okay, is everypony ready?"

Every one had serious expressions and nodded in confirmation as they stared at Twilight in expectation.

"Good."

She looked at them with a grin.

"Let’s go to the forest. A long trip... await us."
