Chapters It's not my fault, he is the one that gave me the immortality, it isn't good to live with. My loved ones are gone and my friends are no more. I know that you're thinking about why I don't kill myself. To tell you the truth, I can't and I just always wanted to see how the world ends, at least it would be the last thing I see. Anyways, I'll tell you how I got my immortality.
[over 4,000 years earlier]
A normal teenaged boy is sitting on his couch, watching TV. His name is Michael Frasier, he is 17 years old. His favorite show was on, Lost Tapes. This episode was about bipedal lizards. After a few moments of him just sitting there, the grandfather clock, his parents have not him, struck 4 AM.
"Wow, that late already? Or is it known as early, oh screw it, I'm getting some sleep." He said while walking to his room. When he entered the room, he felt uneasy, then there was laughter, a laughter that only insane people had. Then there was a burst of confetti and he heard trumpets playing like there was royalty in his room.
There was a weird creature in his room wearing a scarlet cape and he had a golden crown and golden cane. The creature snapped his fingers and everything disappeared and Michael could see the creature had a dragon head, a talon for his left hand, a lion's paw for his right hand, and many other parts of his body that made this abomination.
"Well, look who is my test subject." The creature said with a wicked smile.
"WHAT IN BLOODY HELL ARE YOU?" Michael yelled
"Oh, forgive me, I haven't introduced myself. I am known as discord, god of chaos. Now lets start the test." Discord said and then shattering a crystal in his hand and blowing the remains out of his palm at Michael. Michael was lifted into the air and then engulfed in a bright light, then let down.
"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO ME?" Michael yelled at discord again
"Oh, don't worry, I just wanted to see someone else live with immortality like I do." Discord said leaving Michael shocked for a moment then said "Have fun, until we meet again." Discord turned into tiny hims and flew out an opened window, then flew out the real window.
That is how I got my immortality, now I just hide in the shadows. Trying to not get spotted by any of the locals, now lets continue the story from here.
Michael is hiding behind a building seeing what is taking place right now, he sees a pink pony singing and dancing. He stayed where he was to see where this was going... he listened to the entire song, going like this:
My name is Pinkie Pie (Hello!)
And I am here to say (How ya doin'?)
I'm gonna make you smile and I will brighten up your day
It doesn't matter now (What's up?)
If you are sad or blue (Howdy!)
'Cause cheering up my friends is just what Pinkie's here to do
'Cause I love to make you smile, smile, smile

'Cause I love to make you grin, grin, grin

There's one thing that makes me happy and makes my whole life worthwhile
And that's when I talk to my friends and get them to smile

Come on and smile
He really wished he hadn't stayed, it was one of the silliest songs he has ever heard in his 4,017 years of being alive, he's just adding 4,000 because he doesn't know specifically how long it has been. He sighs and walks into the everfree forest, where only Zecora knows about him.
"I'm back" said Michael entering Zecora's hut.
"Yes, I see. Do you have my bee?" Zecora asked, once again speaking in rhymes.
"Bee? Oh, the potion, I have it right here." Michael said holding up a jar with a bee in it.
"Yes, this potion will make us grow plants for food... What is wrong, you don't seem to be in a good mood." said Zecora taking the bee over to her cauldron.
"Just didn't sleep well last night, I'll be fine if I rest, umm.... right now." he said falling on a couch and falling asleep on impact. Zecora always felt like a mother to him ever since he got to this pony era.
Michael was awoken by a loud thud. He looked through a window and sees a manticore trying to get a small bunny, by running through the trees at full speed. If he didn't act fast, the manticore will either see the hut and hunt around for anything or it would smell him. Michael stood in place to see what the manticore would do, and of course, it started sniffing the air. The manticore looked towards the hut and started walking towards it. Michael's heart stopped, he knows he can't die, but manticores scare the hell out of him. The manticore let out a big roar and started to run to the hut.
Michael opened the hut's door and bolted to a clearing of the everfree forest, it wasn't any better than the rest of the everfree. Michael turned back around to see the manticore still charging towards him. Michael stood his ground ready to fight, but the manticore had the first attack. The manticore left a deep gash of it's claws on Michael's chest. Michael dodged the next attack and punched the manticore in the jaw. Michael was hit again with the manticore's claws in his right arm. Michael started running towards a cliff he knew, it was about 350 feet high.
Michael got to the cliff, but he didn't expect the manticore to catch up with him so quickly. Michael tried to dodge, but the manticore tackled him off the cliff. Michael turned the manticore to the ground to make the landing hurt less. The manticore was wailing it's arms and legs around at Michael, but it wasn't long until they hit the ground.
The manticore was dead on impact, while Michael lay on the ground waiting for his cells to regenerate. While he was unconscious, he had a dream, just like all of the other dreams while he was healing, it was a nightmare.
Michael saw the town ponyville, it was very peaceful and there were no ponies around, that was strange. Ponies are usually out by this time of day. Michael peered inside the ponyville library also home of the twilight pony. What he saw horrified him, he saw that Twilight's eyes were gauged out and her limbs were cut off and hung on the wall. Michael threw up shortly after, when he peered back in, Twilight's face was right at the window. Michael jumped back and ran to a different building, it was sugar cube corner.
He peered into one of the windows, afraid of what he was going to see, he hesitated. He saw that pinkie was lying on the ground with cupcakes shoved down her throat and a giant shard of glass right through her chest. He turned around not wanting to see any more, but the dead bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Cake were right behind him, staring at him in the face. Mr. Cake was hung on a board from on top of the roof with hooks through his eyes, hands, feet, mouth, and torso. Some of Mrs. Cake's skin was torn off, her eyes were blood shot with blood running down from them and her brain was showing out of her head. Michael ran again, to the middle of town.
What he saw was truly disgusting, he saw the heads of rainbow dash and applejack pinned on a locals house. Everywhere was either their torsos or their guts were hanging off of houses or on the ground. He ran again to the carousel boutique.
He wants to see if there were any survivors. He saw that the door was smashed down, he walked inside and saw that rarity was hanging off the ceiling with a rope around her and she was torn in half, her intestine was hanging from her body to her legs on the ground. He also saw that the cutie mark crusaders were there. The only thing different was that it wasn't as brutal, except for scootaloo. Sweetie belle and applebloom had their throats slit, but scootaloo's guts were pulled out of her and shoved into her throat. Once agin he ran to the last pony left to see, fluttershy.
He got to fluttershy's cottage and ran inside. He saw that animals were sliced open and were pinned on the walls. He looked around more and saw that fluttershy wasn't murdered, but committed suicide by hanging herself. He turned around to see the rest of the mane six staring up at him, all of their bodies were intact, but each one of them had gauged out eyes. He looked up a little to see a creature, he knew it for 3,000 years. It looked a lot like a normal human, but it was more shadowy and had long twisting horns, its name is kartaborous. It gave a wicked smile, a smile that can put fear into ursa majors.
"You thought I was gone, didn't you?" Kartaborous said with a demonic voice
"I thought you were gone, how can you be back?" Michael said with a trembling voice
Kartaborous didn't say anything he just turned the entire dream into complete white and lifted Michael into the air with some type of telekinesis. "You and those damn ponies won't be safe after I am free." Kartaborous lifted a hand into air and shoved it through Michael's stomach forcing him to wake up from his unconscious state.
Michael looked around and saw hundreds of books stacked on shelves and there were 6 bipedal ponies sitting around, of course it was twilight and her friends. Twilight was reading biology and mythology, rainbow dash was reading daring do, pinkie was sitting on a couch humming a song, applejack was asleep with her hat over her face, rarity was sitting on the same couch as pinkie looking worried, and fluttershy was in the corner.
"Twilight darling, do you really think it's okay to bring this repulsive thing into your home?" Rarity said making a scowl when she said 'repulsive thing'
"Well, I'm just trying to find out what it is, my books of biology didn't have anything about it, but the mythology book had a description of it." Twilight said not looking away from her book.
Michael cringed every time they said it. Michael slowly sat up waiting for a perfect time to start running out the door. Everypony started to huddle around Twilight, which was perfect. Michael slowly got up and tiptoed towards the door. 'CREEEEK'. Michael cringed and heard a few gasps behind him, he turned around to see all six ponies staring at him. Michael ran to the door and opened it, but was caught by a purple aura. His body was stuck in midair, his body turned around and faced twilight.
Michael looked around to see rainbow and applejack glaring at him, he didn't care many different people or species in the past did the same. He saw pinkie smiling at him, go figure. Rarity giving him a scowl, while twilight was giving him a puzzled look. Fluttershy is, and was, in the corner of the library.
"Look, I will be your slave as long as you feed me." Michael said jokingly
Applejack stared daggers at Michael, strong enough to kill an Ursa Minor. He could have sworn he heard a giggle from rainbow dash. It wasn't long until he was thrown on to a nearby couch. Twilight started asking questions, 'why does the universe have to try to kill me with boredom.' said Michael thinking to himself
"First question: What are you?" Twilight asked
"I'm a human, also known as a homosapian." Michael answered
"Okay... where did you come from?"
"Here."
Everypony looked at Michael quizzically.
"You're telling me that you're a new species?" Twilight asked
"No, my species used to be the dominant race, until an apocolypes because of... HIM ."
"Him?" Rainbow said
"That is something I don't want to talk about."
Everypony looked over at each other and at Michael a couple times. Twilight cleared her throat going on with her question mania.
"So, if your species used to be the dominant species... you're the only one that equestria has ever seen... exactly how old are you?" asked twilight
"... ...over 4,000." Michael said barely could be heard
"What was that?" Rainbow asked
"I said I... am... over 4,000 years old." Michael said trying not to choke on his breath, should have just said that he woke up from an imprisonment.
Everypony's mouths were on the ground, figuratively speaking... except for pinkie pie, for her it's literally. They all stayed still and stared at Michael in disbelief for about 3 whole minutes. They all huddled around eachother, probably talking about how being 4,000 is possible.
Applejack walked up to Michael and looked him in the eyes. "He's... he's telling the truth." Applejack said
They all huddled back up, but once in a while one of them would look up at him. Twilight walked up to Michael after a short while saying "so... you're older than the princesses? AMAZING NOW I CAN LEARN ABOUT ANCIENT HISTORY." Twilight yelled in excitement.
Michael, for one, wasn't as excited......... 'SHIT, MOM -or Zecora- WILL BE WORRIED ABOUT ME, I HAVE TO GO NOW!' Michael stood up going to the door, but once again, a purple aura stopped him.
"Where are you going?" Twilight asked
"Look, I'd love to stay and chat, but I have to get back to my mom." Michael said struggling to get out of the levitation spell
"You're mom is still alive, I thought you said you were the last one." Rainbow said
"I am the last one, she just adopted me after she found me wondering the everfree forest." Michael said getting tuckered out
"You're adoptive mother lives in the everfree forest? Is she a zebra named Zecora?"
"Yes... NOW LET ME GO! SHE'S GOING TO BE WORRIED ABOUT ME!"
"Alright, we can come with you. Your mother is a friend of ours." Twilight said
"Well, I guess you can come. It will be fine to actually not talk to one pony... or zebra to talk to."
Before Michael and the 6 went into the forest, they had to make a stop at fluttershy's cottage. She needed to feed them. A few minutes later of helping feeding the animals and battling a small bunny when fluttershy isn't looking, they left through the everfree forest. Michael left angel bunny in a locked pantry with carrots.
They arrived at the hut and walked inside. "I'm home." said Michael
Zecora walked around the corner, but she was angry. "Why weren't you here? I told you to stay, to not spread fear." Zecora said
Michael stepped back ready to get yelled at, but it was silent. Zecora walked up to Michael, then looked past him, looking at the mane 6. Zecora looked back at Michael and smiled.
"I see that they do not fear you, but you do have chores to do." Zecora said
"Oh yeah, I was supposed to do my chores... but a manticore attacked me earlier." Michael said. He was going to have to explain this to twilight and the others.
"Wait wait wait, you were in a fight with a dang manticore? How in the name of celestia did you survive?" Rainbow asked
Michael took a deep breath and turned to the 6. Michael explained what gapped about 4,000 years ago with a creature turning him immortal.
"Wait, what did this creature look like?" Twilight asked
"Well, he had a paw for his right arm, a talon for his left arm, a dragon head, and many more parts of his sick body." Michael said
"Discord did this to you?" Rarity asked
"I guess... wait, how do you know who he is?"
"He, uhh... he is our f-friend." Fluttershy said, unfortunately she was in the back of the group, so I could barely hear her.
Michael looked at them shocked, they were friends with the thing that made his curse. He sat down on the couch thinking of how easy it would be to get his revenge now.
"Can you get him for me." Michael said through his clenched teeth
"No need, I am right here." said discord... as a black flower.
Discord turned back to normal and stood in front of Michael.
"You said you needed me did you not?"
Michael stood up and clenched his fists, he raised his right fist in the air and slammed it into discord's face.
"Well, that is one way to say hi." Discord said getting to his feet... I guess.
Michael ran towards discord to throw another punch, but rainbow dash slammed him to the floor. "What the hay is wrong with you!?" Rainbow yelled. Michael struggled to get out of rainbow's grip, but to no success. Getting out of the fastest flyer's grip is not an easy feat.
Rainbow let go when Michael calmed down, but twilight still made a force field around Michael. Everypony and thing sat down. Zecora went outside to find a certain flower, plus she didn't want to be in the middle of a confrontation.
"Now, what is the problem, other than being immortal." said twilight
"That is the only problem. Because of this discord, freak of nature, making me immortal. My friends and family die, while I still live, whenever someone befriends me or becomes my girlfriend, they end up dieing while I have to live with the guilt; and because of discord, he has to be in my head." said Michael
"Again with the him and he thing, what are you talking about?" Rainbow said
"And I said I don't want to talk about it." said Michael
oh, you're talking about me again.
WHAT, YOU CAN TALK TO ME IN MY HEAD NOW? GREAT, JUST GREAT.
Don't worry about me showing up any time soon, you have exactly 2 years until I have my full power; and if you ever tell anyone about my existence, this will happen
Michael's started to feel like it was going to explode, he got down on one knee crying in pain.
I know I can't kill you, but It will torture you until you don't talk. Do you understand?
Michael got back onto the couch, while everypony was looking at him like he was crazy... and apparently discord wasn't here anymore.
"Look, I just had a headache and I wish to rest." said Michael
The ponies looked at eachother and shrugged, shortly after everypony has left the hut. Michael just lied on the couch closing his eyes to sleep the day off, yes he was worried about what kartaborous would do to the ponies, but he did say he won't get out in 2 more years.
Your world will burn
Michael was asleep, but it wasn't as cheerful like the others. He was in the woods, not the everfree forest. All of the leaves on the trees were gone and the humidity was very high. A swamp maybe?
"Shit, where am I?" Michael said
"You're in your grave." Kartaborous said walking out of the shadows
"What? I thought you only show up when I need to regenerate my cells!"
"You really think that? Hehehe, you really are an ignorant fool."
"What can you do? I'm just in a dream and I can do anything, can't I?"
"Not here"
"What?"
"You are indeed asleep, but your soul is vulnerable, it isn't protected here. You were lucky those 6 accidentally woke you up."
Michael turned around and started running to anywhere he could go, kartaborous didn't run, he walked towards him leaving a a trail of death behind him, killing the plants around him. Michael turned back around and started running again, but as he was running, something blocked his path. It looked like a huge rock, but it bolted out of the ground just a few seconds ago. Michael started to run another way, but another rock shot out of the ground. He knew it would keep happening, so he jumped towards a tree pushed up with his foot and grabbed the top of the rock and climbed over. He started running again, but he was still afraid what kartaborous will do to him.
"You're not getting away that easily." Kartaborous' voice echoed through the forest.
Tree branches started moving and stretching blocking my path, when he tries to climb over, more branches grow out from the trees. He had to be quick, he sprinted towards and opening from the branches and slid just in time to pass the branches.
"Aren't you arrogant? My little friends will have fun with you." Kartaborous said
Some skeletons came crawling out of the ground, getting to their feet. "Well, isn't this just a little cliche?" Michael said. His arrogant smile turned into frown once a skeleton slashed at him. Michael threw a punch at the skull, but it literally went right through it. "Shit!"
"RAAAAAAAGH!!!" The skeleton screamed.
'Probably the leader. it had leather chest plate, and a... SHIT A SWORD!!' Michael screamed in his mind.
The skeleton swung at him, but only getting a cut on his right arm.
"This isn't going to be fun at all." Michael said
With that comment, there was something lurking in the forest. Galloping as he ran, he recognized who it was fairly quickly. "Princess Luna?!"
"We see that thou is having trouble with thine dream, we are here to help." Luna said
"Ah, the princess of the night is here to help this puny creature. I hope you have fun, because it's going to be a long night." Kartaborous ends with an evil laugh.
"What does thou know about this creature?" Luna said
"Enough to know if we don't get out now, we're going to die." Michael said.
"What a touching moment" Kartaborous says
"Why are you doing this to me?! What the hell do you want to accomplish?"
"The host's mind and soul can't control anything without its exoskeleton."
"What? What does that mean?"
"GRAHHHHHH" screamed the skeleton leader marching towards them.
"RUN!!" Michael yelled.
Luna and Michael started sprinting towards wherever they might be going. They've been running for about 3 minutes and it was quiet, which made Michael even more worried. It wasn't long for Luna's left hind leg to get grabbed by a vine with huge thorns on it.
"Luna!" Michael yelled. He ran back and started tugging on the vines, nothing. Luna's horn glowed and she appeared behind Michael. "Oh...right."
"GRAHHHH!!!" The skeleton screamed. Bringing it's sword down, only hitting Michael's shoulder as Michael tried to get out of the way, it was bleeding pretty bad.
Luna 's horn glowed and she blasted the skeleton. "Where is this being?" Luna asked about Kartaborous.
"I don't know...hey Kartaborous, if you're an unstoppable demon. Then why are you sending out these fuckers instead of fighting me yourself?" Michael said
"Hahaha, that is not wise." Kartaborous laughed
"Well come on, fight me you coward."
Kartaborous fazed the the ground and stood in front of Michael. Michael glared at him as Kartaborous had a toothy smile. Kartaborous stepped back a few steps and metal walls grew from the ground.
"If you want to fight me, find me at the end of this maze." Kartaborous said. A picture fazed through the wall showing Michael the top of the maze. As quickly as it appeared, it went away. "Memorize what you saw and don't worry about your friend, she is in her own situation." Kartaborous walked through the walls.
"FUCK!" Michael yelled. Michael looked around to see if he could find anything. As he was looking around, he stepped on something, he looked down and found a glock 19. "Fuck...one mag and only 15 bullets. Better use it when I really need it."
Michael walked around for what felt like hours...he can't wake up. He just realized he can't wake up, no matter what he does. Michael seemed to walk in the 200th dead end. He was frustrated, who knows how long he's been asleep in the real world. Michael took a right to find...a Minotaur, a possessed Minotaur. The Minotaur noticed him and Michael ran as fast as he could, not caring where he is going, as long as it's away from that thing. Unfortunately, Michael took another wrong turn, dead end. Michael turned around to see the Minotaur only a few feet from him. Michael fell back on his ass, then started to crawl backwards. Michael remembered about the glock and pulled it out of his pocket and took a shot. He missed, he hit the minotaur's horn, only making it more pissed off. As the Minotaur approached Michael, Michael held his breathe and kept a steady aim. Michael took the shot and killed it.
"13 rounds left...I hope the other creatures in this maze will be as easy as the Minotaur." Michael said getting back on his feet. "He said Luna is busy...I wonder how she is."
---Michael's dream: Luna---
"Now, if I was the core. Where would I be?" Luna said to herself. She has been searching for a few hours and she ran into more of those skeletons. She seemed to have to use more and more magic each skeleton she has to shoot. As that was happening, another wave of skeletons have appeared and ran out Luna.
Luna jumped to the side and gathered energy and took a shot at a skeleton, shattering it to pieces. "We've been using so much energy in so little time...any longer and we don't think we will make it."
---- Michael ----
Michael turns a corner after walking a few more minutes and sees a mirror maze. He looks behind him and all the walls have changed to mirrors. Michael looks back in front of him and sees kartaborous looking at him with a cocky grin.
Michael aimed his gun, but remembered that it only has a limited amount of bullets. He swung the the gun in his hand at the mirror, which broke. Michael took a step back, looking around, only seeing himself in all the mirrors. When he looked back at the mirror he just broke, it was fixed. "So I can't just brake my way through."
"No boy, you can not." Kartaborous said with a cocky tone. Michael turned around to see kartaborous smiling in every mirror. "You really think I'd let you finish the maze so easily?" As he said that, all the mirrors got lifted up and came back down in a different arrangement. Michael clenched his fists ready to punch mirrors, but kartaborous disappeared from them with an evil chuckle.
"Fuck!" Michael yelled in the air. With that he heard something moving across the ground behind him. Once her turned around, there was a giant snake, its head was as big as Michael's torso. Michael stood frozen in fear, until the snake took an attack position. As it pounced at him Michael jumped to the side and took a shot at the snake's head. The bullets bounced off like it had a bullet proof shell, it turned to him more pissed than anything. Michael took a few steps back and lifted his gun to the snake, hoping it will threaten it. The snake glared at Jackson and thrashed towards him. Michael just barely jumped out of the way and took a shot, with no results of any damage. The snaked once again thrashed at Michael, this time, cutting his arm from its fang. "GAH....damn reptile" Michael aimed the gun, but this time he aimed and shot for the eye.
With a hiss of pain, the snake slithered away from Michael, getting to safety. Michael sighed in relief as he slid down the wall and sits on the ground. "Motherfucker....." Michael looked around to see that he isn't in a maze anymore, just a small box of wood. "No....damn it! Let me out of here!" Michael yelled as he started
kicking the walls of the box.
"I've been in your mind Michael.....I know you're claustrophobic, I hope you have fun." As Kartaborous said "fun", his voice faded away.
"Fuck!" Michael said as he starts kicking with all his strength
