What would you do?
If everything you know was taken away?
Smashed to pieces before your eyes?
If you don't know, then you wouldn't be in my situation right now.
Lost in a world of death and destruction, that is where me and 60 others are right now.
My name?
Is Turbo. I will tell you the story from the very beginning, as far back as I can remember.
A black wavering abyss, that's all I could see as I woke up, I tried standing but a force pulled me back down.
"What the-" I asked as I tried again, failing the second time. This time my body felt like barbed wire was cutting me and ripping pieces off of me.
"Do you remember?" A distorted voice asked in the distance.
"Remember what?"
"That day, the day of your death?"
My vision faded."Turbo! Watch out!"
That voice... it sounded like-
"Answer the question!" The voice demanded growing more distorted.
"I don't remember anything!" I said truthfully.
"The day of Darkness?! The Never War?! The wars that don't exist! Tell me why they're here!!!"
I growled at this. "I don't know what the BUCK you're talking about!"
"Then who am I, Turbo?" The voice asked. The source of the voice began walking out of the shadowy abyss. In a few seconds I saw a dark blue pegasus in front of me. His cutie mark was three sixes. The pony had teal eyes that matched mine exactly, his wingspan was much larger than mine. I only knew this bastard by one name.
"Nightingale..." I growled narrowing my eyes as I tried to stand, the pain increased tenfold forcing me down again.
"Aww, isn't that cute? My own son remembers me!" Nightingale laughed insanely.
"What do you want?!" I asked angrily. The very thought of Nightingale as my father just made me want to-
'Calm down Turbo, just calm down. Remember what Jon Bucker told you, don't freak out over things you can't control.'
"Well, since you asked nicely, I'll tell you. This war, The Never War was not supposed to happen."
"And how do you know that?!"
Nightingale smiled at this. "I have seen the past, present, and future. This war is in none of them." Ramblings of a madcolt, I might as well ignore him.
"I want you, my son to find out the reason behind these wars."
I felt the barbed wire feeling go away, with the sound of chains rattling, allowing me to stand up. I turned my head enough to look at my back. I felt something warm and wet running down from it and my legs. I cringed when I saw holes and deep, ugly, scratches along my back.
I growled and turned my head toward Nightingale.
"JUST WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU-"
"And to assure your allegiance to me." Nightingale lifted his hoof, the bottom of it began glowing and fired at me sending me flying back at a lightning speed skidding to a stop yards away from my father. I sat up and looked right where my neck met the rest of my body. Right there was a necklace with an obsidian chain that was dangerously close to my neck. The gem at the end of the chain had a mark, no, the mark, his mark. The mark of death, the mark of The Beast, the three sixes that were Tirek's number were sitting right at the end of this dreaded chain of destruction.
I looked away from the dark force that had me to hear what Nightingale had to say.
"That, my son, is the assurance that you'll do what I want. That necklace is the same that The Dark Ones worship, if you don't complete your task within nine years, that necklace will overload your weak little heart with Death Magick, destroying you and all your insides, making you into nothing more than a hollow shell to be stuffed and placed in a museum exhibit." He laughed insanely.
"You-YOU LITTLE SHIT!!!!!!" I yelled at Nighingale running to him. I jumped and lifted my hoof to punch him. But before I could land a punch on him a tremendous wave of pain launch through me, somehow throwing me above Nightingale and landing on the ground, grasping at my chest. It felt as though millions of knives and railroad spikes were going through my heart.
Nighingale only grinned at this, revealing his yellow sharpened teeth, that in my opinion haven't seen a dentist in 40 years.
"My, my, my, my little pony. One does not succeed if he disposes his friends."
"Y-you're no friend of mine. GAH! And I'm already dead! This necklace won't do anything!"
"Why, it will, it will grant you ultimate power. Power to match that of the alicorn's. But when I bring you back to life that necklace will travel with you. And trust me, if you fuck with the time you have," He lowered his head to reach to my eye level. "You will die a death that will be in eternal pain and suffering!" He smiled mockingly at me. Nightingale reached a hoof to my head and pressed it on the ground creating cracks underneath me.
"You have nine years to find the cause." The ground broke entirely sending me falling into the sodom that was Equestria.
Would you say that I am wasting my time?
Would you say that I became a hero for Equestria?
I became far from it, lost in a land of death, destruction, with your friends, who were also cursed with the same curse that I have.
This world has nothing but destruction.
The Dark Ones: The worshippers of Tirek.
We are only at the beginning, the beginning of the end.

I'll edit it later
"Your fighting is pointless! Struggling only leads to your self destruction! Why can't you see that?!"
The coldness in those words pierced my heart like a frozen dagger, causing me to stop my flight and lower to the ground, leaving me trotting my way there. I knew that voice, but I couldn't remember what it was.
"Just make your way to Mist's camp, Turbo." I muttered to myself. "You need all the help you can get!"
I took out a cloak from my bag and wrapped it around my body, making sure that the necklace was out of view.
*Third Person*
"QUEEN!!" A scratchy voice screamed its dark gray figure buzzed into the cave flying past all the other members of his kind. He flew into a war strategy room, which had a large white table with what could've been hundreds of chairs, only 3 of them were occupied, in the center of a table was a large map of Equestria, almost the entire map was covered with black crystals. Except for one small portion.
"What now Strigoi?!" Sombra hissed at the changeling flying in the room
"It's... It's..." The changeling named Strigoi was interrupted by a small Tirek.
"For the love of Cerberus! Spit it out you pathetic insect!"
"Don't ever call of my subjects, especially our eyes and ears an insect, Tirek!" Chrysalis threatened at Tirek. "We can still function without you on our asses runt!!"
Sombra merely chuckled at Chrysalis' threat.
"What are you laughing about Sombra?!" The queen shouted.
"It's not important at this time." Sombra smirked
"Strigoi, tell us what it was you saw."
"It was the Son Of The Harbinger! I saw him heading toward New Freedom!"
Sombra's smirk suddenly turned into a frown. "You what?"
"I saw The Son Of The Harbinger heading toward New Freedom." Strigoi repeated hoping that the dark tyrant wouldn't rip him apart.
"What are you waiting for?! I want him brought to me! Alive!"
*Turbo's POV*
Finally! I was standing in front of the gate to New Freedom. I reached up my hoof to knock, before I heard Princess Luna's voice echo from the top of New Freedom's defensive wall.
"Not another move!" I looked up to see her hovering above the top of the wall, she had many other guards pointing their weapons in my direction.
"I'm just here to see my brother! You see I am-
"Turbo Charger! Yes I know who you are, you are the son of Nightingale!"
"And I'm the brother of Mist Dasher, I'm here to talk to him, I need to-"
"SILENCE!!! Guards! Ready your weapons!"
The guards pointed their spears, and guns at me, I crouched ready to fight.
"Listen, Now's not the time to pick a fight with me! I need to-"
"Don't kill him!" A voice echoed from behind the wall. I saw red pegasus stallion with a pair of glasses and a gray mane fly up and land beside the princess.
"Why not Triumph?!"
"Don't you remember who he is?"
"I know who he is! He died a year ago! This is an imposter!"
"Oh, I doubt that... Did you think that Turbo would die so easily? I knew there was something up when we couldn't find his body."
Luna's voice started booming as a response. "Then why is he wearing that cloak if he's not?!?!?!"
I opened my mouth to speak before I stopped, realizing it was a bad idea.
"Princess. Trust me, I've been friends with him for years, if I think something's up, then I'll kill him."
The princess of the night continued staring coldly at him, clearly processing what he said. "...Fine, but if he tries anything at all. And I mean anything suspicious. Kill him on the spot." She motioned he hoof signaling her guards to let me in.
I watched the guards go and Luna open her wings and fly into the base. Triumph flew down to greet me.
"Now that that's out of the way, we can get to business. Oh, and hello Turbo. It's been awhile hasn't it?"
"Yes it has Light."
I watched as the gate started sliding to the left with a loud rumbling that shook the forest floor.
"Now, I have a few questions to ask once were inside." Light stated.
I nodded in reply. "I kinda figured that. Is the rest of the gang in there?"
"Yep, I'm sure Fry will have plenty of questions for you too."
We both walked into the gate as we exchanged small talk, the gate closing behind us when we stepped completely in.
"Now, about that cloak you're wearing. Why are you wearing it?"
I panicked on the inside at that question. 'Shit.'
"It's a story that I'll tell you once we're somewhere where no one can see what I'm hiding, just... Promise me that you won't freak out okay?"
"Gotcha."
