Evacuation

My hooves vigorously bumping of the ground continuously harmonizing with the sound of my heartbeats. The sound, getting louder and louder as I gallop accentuating to maximum acceleration. Pitch black darkness consuming all around me apart from the Opening at the opposite end of the forest. Above me, being able to picture only a few patches of minty greens stars through the thick dark green branches encasing the forest with the fresh cold wind blowing them from left to right. The moonlight getting stronger while moving closer to the exit with the shine coming through it.

Passing rapidly through the archway coming to a wooden curved bridge hanging over blue transparent sparkly water, caused by the moon appearing as a great sphere piercing the dark purple sky. Stars hanging like winking eyes pouring their reflection into the river being accompanied by the skinny leafed trees in the near distance rattling in the wind.

The air chilled with a hint of fresh pleasant pollen ringing around the environment.

Beginning to jog at a slower pace on the smooth grey paved path with a hint of fresh pleasant pollen ringing around the environment. Between it two big green grassy fields meeting each other with the tall rough shades getting caught in the gales. Wanting to slow down after pushing myself feeling like my energy about to deplete. Looking to my right seeing the trees of the woods, to my left seeing a house appearing as a bloated tree trunk fitted with Green thrushes as a roof.

Deciding to go to the house. Running up to the front door and crossing over a stream of water leading up to it. Gently knocking on the red wooden door fitted with five horizontal slabs of wood painted red. waiting for a response, at the same time feeling encumbered and finding myself falling to the ground.

My vision morphing from black and grey and into a reinforced black sea with the waves gently flowing and foaming over each other.
Dark grey clouds overhanging the top of the horizon and damp clay sand lining the bottom. Feeling my hooves sinking in gently. Searching around me viewing tall pine trees encasing the boarder of the forest like a crescent moon. My ears twitching and swivelling and I listened for any sound which might notify unsafety that would approach me, resulting in hearing nothing but the sound of the water and the wind.

A bunch of rounded pebbles lining the periphery of a section of water washing off resulting in catching my attention, following it noticing that the sky is getting darker. Rain starting to fall leaving soft ovals in the sand triggering a flashback with me lying on a bed with wheels transporting me into an operation room and hearing the doors slam shut behind me. My head being trapped between two padded clamps only being able to see a two stallion surgeons wearing faded pine green shirts.

“You really think that this potion is ready yet, I mean it has never been tested before , something horrible could happen”." Saying with a confusing look in his irises with a few droplets of sweat sliding down this forehead dripping onto his white linen mask.

"Look we don’t question orders from Enlightend.inc, Look just carry out their instructions and you’ll be a okay.” The other operator intertwining with his face appearing almost identical from my position.

The two of them pushing me into the right side of the room with white tiles on the walls. The surgeon on the right pulling leaf green curtains around us. A doctor entering in with an injection containing dark brown gooey liquid in it oozing down the end of the tube.

“Get him on his stomach!” the doctor ordering them.

Feeling my stomach rumbling and feeling so weak. A mark was drawn on my right flank with a red marker. Feeling the needle jutting into me being readied.

“Ready?” The doctor inquiring.

“Ready!” both replying at the same time.

Feeling the serum injecting into my body as my vision turning to darkness for a split second. A flashback quickly re-entering my mind with a tallish filly with a blonde straight mane falling front of my eyes explicitly taunting "Loser" at me with a pack of young males and females laughing. Looking up to the cloud riddled sky with a yellow mare screaming with her long pink mane being pulled up with gravity.

a of A rush of adrenaline flowing through my veins waking up and Instantly jumping out from the bed standing about a foot and a half taller than the rest of the medics.

“It is a success” The doctor saying with evil laughter.

"Oh look at you, you are magnificant

Feeling a flow of anger looking down at them with disgust. Feeling two dragon wings from my sides emerging and covering half the room. Letting out a roar of agony and picking the mad scientist up with my right blade.

“Oh no, now this isn’t supposed to happen.”

"I knew this is a bad idea, what have you done." The other doctor crying.

Throwing him against the wall leaving him deceased. The other two ran towards the door. Pushing them two aside and busting the door open furiously with my wings and hooves. the Frame of it bouncing around the neighboring corridor. Coming across a masonic checkered floor leading down a hallway with pale green doors on either side. Running fearlessly down the hallway to the exit door and blasting it open and going down the stairway noticing a barred window. Spotting a bunch of dark figures lining up outside with pitch black armor.

“Okay let’s take the experiment out H.I.P.S”. One of them yelling with one of the marines chanting "Let's kick is a**"."

Turning to my right and walking down more grey stairs and opening the door and trying to sneak past them. Guards on both sides of the Building and noticing an opened door a few feet away from me. Beginning to quietly walk on the rubbles stone pathway with my hoofs making a sound alerting them.

“Hey there he is fire at will!!!.”

Firing rail blasts at me as the minty green beams fuming in front of me in slow motion my sense highening emmesly enabling me to dodge it. Rolling on the ground with fragments of rubble sticking to me. Another guard launching a dark and volatile shadow ball at me. Trying to duck with it knocking me painfully into the door slamming against me.

Haven

My vision eventually recovering, slowly morphing from brown fuzzy shapes and gradually reclaiming the definition and clarity of my sight. Searching around with the distorted shapes becoming more defined, at last, morphing into a room. Feeling my body relaxing in a bed with pastel and dark orange diamond-shaped patches with butterflies applique sewn in between them.

The pale while spongy mattress having a distinctive contrast with deep blue wooden bed frames fitted with wooden shaped hearts on each corner. The walls also having planks and beams to support the roof structurally stable with oily faded pink wallpaper in between them. There beside me to my right a bright violet stone chimney standing the soot marks on the brick and motar of the fireplace indicating that it had seen plenty of usage though the years.

Suddenly, hearing footsteps approaching from the staircase right in front of me. The smell of freshly squeezed tomatoes greeting my nostrils. Feeling a twinge of pain lancing through my head and crying out from the pain. The figure in the shadows rushing towards me.

"Are you okay!?” A gentle sounding female voice inquiring her tone of voice heavy with worry.

The shadowy client slowly beginning to make itself known as light vanquishing from the mystery of my visitor. Turning out to be a young pegasus mare with a bright yellow coat and a long pink straight mane cresting over her forehead an ending in an s shape at the bottom. The left side her parted hair cascaded downward and curling up at the end.

“Yea I guess so” Saying to her

“Where am I ?” Looking about the room attempting to obtain some clue of where I am. Did I run far enough? Would they ever think of looking for me in this location." Even a newspaper would at least give me some notion of where I ended up.

“You’re in my cottage, in my bedroom. I found you at my door, so I brought you up here, I was so worried I! I mean decending to the pavement in a dead faint like that"

Pink Strands falling in front of her eyes and feeling a little bit uncertain, not knowing what to say to her.

“Where is your cottage?” Asking her

“Its on the outskirts of ponyville.”

“Ponyville ?”

"Um... its about 50 miles in the south-southwest of Canterlot in the Equestrian Kingdom. I figured that you're not from around here, I've never seen you around town before!"

Placing her hoof in the direction of a village in the distance.through her windows with a blackened mahogony mutins, dividing the windowpane into four sctions.

“What’s your name .” Shyly asking putting her front hoof behind her right one.

“Xareth” Saying to her.

“Oh um… I’m um… Fluttershy.” Replying

“Where are you from ?” Her asking.

“I can’t remember, I'm so sorry, I don't think its near here.” Saying to her.

“Its okay.” Fluttershy replying.

“Here, I brought you this,” saying while Putting her fore hooves on the coffee table and bringing over a white round soup bowl with the smell of fresh tomatoes fuming around the room and gently placing it on my lap.

“Um… I made this for um… you…” Speaking very softly.

“Thanks!”

DIpping the spoon into the heated soup holding the spoon in the crook of my hoof. Due to my hunger, the savory aroma seemed much more intensely sharper. the creamy texture causing my ravenous stomach to growl loudly. Slowly and with caution, beginning to place the delectable smelling food into my maw. It was delicious and I greedily plunged the spoon into the liquid haven resuming to pour the soup into my hungry belly.

Looking up at her with a slight smile on her face, I was grateful for her hospitality and wanting to thank her for it.

“Thanks for the soup” Saying to her while scraping the last spoonful of the soup from the bottom of the bowl and emptying the spoons content into my mouth.

“Great! I’m glad you liked it!” her voice sounding somewhat louder and a little more confident her eyes closed and a big smile spead upon her face."

Passing the now empty bowl with the spoon in it to Futtershy and watching her put it on the table. Watching her coming close me and seating on the bed beside me.

“Can you remember anything else?” asking me.

“Well, all that I can remember is that I was running away from something and frantically knocking on your door before I passed out in front of your door.”

"Oh my ... um I hope you are okay now ?"

" Yea I think so."

Attempting to get out of bed while feeling a sharp pain where my wings attach to my body and letting out a loud "Ahhhhh!" again. Fluttershy rushing over towards me putting her hooves on my sides trying to help me up but slipping on top of me. Feeling her body gently brushing against my body lying on top. Feeling the warmth of my cheeks, trying not to alert or look at her, trying to remain calm. Fluttershy Immediately tripping forwards falling onto my stomach.

"Sorry!" apologizing at the same time.

Fluttershy slowly crawling off me and saying

"You sound very ill, I think you should rest for a while longer.

Nodding at her and saying "Yeah."

Lying back down in her bed, suddenly feeling inexplicable tired for some reason.Seeing my sight sading with my sight progressing towards complete darkness.

Seclusion

Standing there in apprehension in a room with a dark raw cold feel to it. Small, yet with pieces of pale green and cream wallpaper torn off the walls leaving grey stone patches. Feeling droplets dripping down my face and slightly out of breath. The door being banged by the guards, one of the them saying.

"I know your in there come out and make things easier!!!."

Looking down at my right hoof seeing a mark where the bolt hit me . The black wound healing within seconds returning back to white. Turning around facing the door seeing a large dents repeatedly damaging the door ready to burst open at any second.Readying my wings with oceans amount of adrenaline steaming through them.The door bouncing open leaving feather smoke in the archway. Crouching under the door in slow motion with it bashing open the wall behind me.

A malevolent blast of icy blue lightning striking my right wing. The pain traveling all around it and charging at one of the guards in apprehension and blasting him back with his own frozen bolt, flinging him over against the opposite building sending him through three layers of wall alerting more of them.

The one to my right racing in my direction with his long darkened pointy blade. Swiftly parrying with my left wing and smashing it into pieces. Gently tilting my face leftwards and examining its dark embrace. The broken sword slowly retreating backwards , begging for another strike. Raising my wing up to my eye and disassembling what was left of the jagged ends and recoiling him back against the wall.

The leader retreating back in panic and running around to the corner, Sprinting to the left coming to long pale green field. The grass surrendering to the wind and leaving hoof marks in the ground. Beside me a tall grey brick wall standing. Looking up to the sky with no light escaping from the cracks in the clouds. Spotting one other patrolling the perimeter

Swiftly sneaking behind him and stomping on a twig breaking the silence. Turning around at me and casting a shadow bolt at me from the tip of his wing. Strafing to the left avoiding it. Starting to readying my wings out ,grabbing him and pushing him up high on the wall opposite me and impaling him into the structure with my blades leaving a residue of enormous dents in the wall.

Turning to my right seeing the line of soldiers shouting in volumes at me. A lighting surge shocking my leg and falling to the ground. Struggling to pick my self up for a split second. Pounding into the atmosphere.....

Waking up again looking around me noticing that the daylight that's coming through the window divider is now darker. Looking in front of me with a small white rabbit white rabbit with a neutral look on his face. His big flapping ears standing diagonally above his head, hearing Fluttershy coming up the stairs walking over beside me.

"Are you feeling any better ?" Asking me

"yea.. thanks" Replying to her.

"Can you remember anything else?"

After having that dream and not really wanting to make her feeling uneasy I am just going to tell that I don't really remember much else.

"No, not really, well I was somewhere but now I am here."

Rummaging through the covers getting up off the bed. Fluttershy gently stepping over and putting her hoof on my back.

"There,there." Saying to me

Feeling a light pink rushing around the ridges of my cheek bone.

"Thanks , thanks for everything it really means a lot I don't know where I would be if you hadn't of found me."

"Oh you are very welcome Xareth" With a smile on her face with eyes slightly closing.

"Would you like to come down stairs I can make some tea for you and Angel Bunny ?"

"Yea that sounds great! "

Consultation

Zooming through the atmosphere with the wing sliding past my left and right side under the dark rigid clouds with heat seeking rockets trying to take me down. Looking behind me seeing two guards with jet packs and rocket launchers. Toggling myself in thin air facing them with the rockets coming in close. Time slowing down waving my wings at the rockets hitting them back at the guards resulting in them exploding. Time resuming back to regular speed and feeling my wings emitting fire going faster. Right in front of me a guard in a giant Mech suit about six times the size of me. With chrome circular armor embossed into his skin with the hatch opening and saying:

"You won't make it."

His helmet closing again and grabbing a huge rotary sereated axe spinning with pitch black fire dripping from it. Dodging the axe flying through the air gently brushing off my stomach breaking fragments off it. Charging full force at the axe breaking it in too with the top of it flying backwards damaging my wing.

"Ahhhh"

Feeling the pain mentally and physically. My wing healing and smashing it against his armor breaking a quarter of it off.

"You're stronger than I thought."Him replying in agony.

Striking him again but this time getting stuck in his armor. Hearing a beeping noise in his armor discovering a bomb underneath it.

"We both go bye bye , hahahahaha...

Trying my hardest to get my wing out , eventually getting it out and slicing it towards his stomach blowing up. The blast from the explosion blasting me down to the ground. Placing my four hooves on the ground and searching behind me seeing the army of guards far in the distance. Now looking ahead of me , a very tall forest standing in front of me. Looking at the top of it seeing a few guards flying and patrolling the top of it. Without thought deciding to run through the forest...

Feeling a gentle thump on my right side and waking up back into Fluttershy's bedroom. Looking down at the ground seeing angelbunny pulling the dovet covers. Starting to retract myself on four hoofs and beginning to walk over to the stairs. Taking a deep breath and placing my hoof on the first step. Walking down the stair case seeing the red half oval shaped door . Turning to me left seeing Angel bunny sliding down the banisters and landing on the last stair and pointing to the doorway at the right, walking into it coming to a a round bright orange table with matching seats. Spotting fluttershy coming over with the tray of cups and placing it on the table.

"I made it for you."

"Thanks." Replying to her.

Grabbing it with my right hoof and taking a small sip. The tea tasting great and drinking more with urge. Putting the cup back down on the table with her sitting down next to me and leaning forward slightly and asking me

"Can you remember anything else?"

"Not really." Replying to her.

Turning to the window seeing the rain splashing down leaving droplets on the window.

"Well not even what makes you happy ?"

"Em I can't remember that either sorry."

" I love all wildlife and animals, I have a special connection with animals, even my cutie mark is a buttterfly."

Someone knocking at the door interrupting our conversation.

"I'll get it." Fluttershy mentioning.

Fluttershy opening the door and me pushing myself against the corner of the wall.

"Oh Hey Fluttershy."

"Oh hey Twilight."

"Did you hear Fluttershy, there's a storm but Rainbow Dash can't control it.

"hmm that's strange." Fluttershy replying

"Oh and also, Pinkie pie is throwing a party at sugar cube corner, would you like to come.

"Sorry twilight ...."

Peaking my head around the corner seeing a lavender alicorn about the same size as Fluttershy with a purple ,with her horn coming out of the middle of her straight purple fringe with a red streak in it ending just above her purple eyes looking over at me.

"Fluttershy is there something you're not telling me."

"Em..."

Walking over into the hallway.

"Oh hello there!" purple horse saying.

"Twilight this is Xareth, I found him at my door step ."

"My name is Twilight Sparkle but I don't remember seeing you around before, are you from here" The alicorn asking.

"No."

"Well where are you from then."

"Oh He can't remember."

"I Never saw somepony like you before."

"What do you mean." Me asking her.

"Well you're much larger than any of us and you have dragon wings..."

"He means no harm Twilight." Fluttershy announcing.

"Oh of course I know that Fluttershy I am just interested to find out what he is,"

The lavender pony turning to Fluttershy

"You know what Fluttershy, he's kinda cute, have you to talked much? Fluttershy turning to me blushing.

, but he can't remember where he has come from or who he is."

"Oh really that's nice, oh let me see if I can help with that!"

The alicorns unicorn glowing a bright blue , closing her eyes and a matching colour force field circling my body.

"Nope nothing, well our friend Pinkie Pie is having a party, do you two wanna come?"

"Yea sure" Me and Fluttershy saying it at the same time.

"Great , you can come and meet everypony Xareth, we all have wings so we can fly there."

Fluttershy and Twilight sparkle flying out the door and me following them into...

The Party

Flying through the wind and rain towards PonyVille beside the two mares and landing in the town center between crowds of horses. Looking up to the sky seeing a blue mare with a rainbow coloured mane and tail attempting to control the weather.

"ITS NO USE PINKIE PIE!" The female horse exclaiming in sadness.

"COME ON RAINBOW DASH LETS HAVE A PARTY." A Pink mare on the ground with a dark pink curly mane and tail shouting.

Rainbow Dash trying and trying and then admitting to "I guess you're right pinkie pie."

The pink horse leading everyone into the tall building with three pink candles with dying light on top of then due to the rain. The droplets of rain smashing against the brown chocolate covered roof , with the pink wooden door being opened with everypony in the town going into it.

Walking with the end of the crowd with Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle on my left and right side walking into the doorway. Crowds of ponies talking and chatting amongst each other with different colours flashing past me trying to remain in the crowd. Looking for an empty table in which all of them seem to be full. Spotting an small empty table to right next to the window, walking over beside it. Immediately getting stopped my two young adult mares one with a pink mane and blue body the other with a pink body and blue mane with one of them saying

"Oh hey handsome there haven't seen you before."

Saying nothing and just looking at them.

"We are Lotus and Aloe" With one of them resting her hoof on the front of my body."

"Oh my my , we love to take you to the spa and give you a make over."

Both giving out a slight grimmace on their faces.

Feeling so awkward not knowing what to do.

"Excuse me, coming through! Looking down at the ground seeing a purple baby dragon with a green stomach and eyes. quickly moving to the table and sitting down on the seat and losing track of the ponies. Sitting down low on one of the chairs holstering my wings trying to not let anyone see me. A soft youthful voice interrupting saying

"Hey is anyone sitting there?." The baby dragon questioning

Replying with "No , you can sit down."

"Thanks buddy." The dragon quickly pulling out the seat and sitting down on it.

"Man it is packed in her today, along with all the strange things happening."

"What do you mean?" Asking him

"The way it is all rainy and dark , and that not even Rainbow Dash one of the strongest flyers in all of Equestria couldn't even control the weather."

The dragon pulling out a wrapping of a slice of pink icing cake and asking me ?

"Hey you want some?"Asking me

"No , no thanks." Replying to him.

Just about to take a bite of the cake with me catching his attention.

"Hey wait, I can't say I've seen you before, what's your name man ?"

"Xareth." Answering him

"Xareth? "I'm spike nice to meet you."Putting out his purple claw and me in return reaching over and shaking it. Spotting Fluttershy talking to Twilight Sparkle over in the distance.

"Do you have any Idea what is happening ?" the dragon questioning.

"No."

Seeing Fluttershy walking towards the door beside me.

"Come on Fluttershy please stay the party has just begun!"

"Em... I don't feel like staying Pinkie Pie..."

"Please Fluttershy I don't want you to be all alone in your house or out in the rain!"

"I just want to go home..."

Twilight Sparkle walking over towards Fluttershy saying

"Hey Fluttershy is there something wrong?"

"Well.. I did see something out of the window."

"What was it." The lavender unicorn inquiring.

"Um... it was someone completely in black, I think we are being watched, but I don't want to ruin the party..."

"Lets go out and see if there is anything out there." Twilight Sparkle saying.

Twilight opening the door, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy following her out.

"Lets go follow them." Spike saying.

Getting up off the chair and following him out the door. All of us looking around to the left nothing appearing but the rain. This time looking around to the right nothing there either.

"Oh well, looks like nothing's there."

Hearing a voice interrupting saying

"Gotcha!"

One of the guards grabbing her. Everyone gasping in panic with Twilight Sparkle using her teleportation spell on Fluttershy but having no effect. The guard flapping his wings and taking off into the sky.

"I'l go after her!" Saying to the rest of them.

Flying after him flapping my wings harder and harder gaining more velocity seeing the guard within my grasp. Hearing Fluttershy's screaming coming from the distance. Feeling my heart beating faster and faster thrashing through the air and trees. The droplets getting heavier and heavier splashing against my skin. Coming up right beside them with the guard turning to me and saying

"Turn your self in or I will drop her."

Admitting defeat and saying "Okay"

"I drop her anyway , hahaha!"

Fluttershy falling from the sky hearing her screech piercing the atmosphere. Rushing down to the ground with Fluttershy nearly touching the ground and just about catching her. Heading over towards her house.

"Give her back chump, you're out numbered!"

The guard announcing with two other guards appearing by his side.

"Never!" Shouting back at him.

The two guards rushing against me flipping Fluttershy out in mid air and the middle guard catching her.

"No!!!"

The middle guard getting away with her and the rest of them pinning me to the ground. The guard on the left deploying a cyber cannon out of his right arm , charging it and putting it to my head. Quickly dismantling it off with my right wing and blasting him into space. The other one grabbing onto my wing and attempting to strike me. Waving him of me with the wind blowing him away.

Jumping back on the ground seeing Fluttershy far in the sky and flying towards her direction...

Descent

Chasing through the rain after them droplet by droplet. The two sides of my vision swirling in motion. Gaining more speed getting closer to them battling against the raging wind. The guard taking a downturn flying beside the cliff drenched in black clouds. Piercing straight through them leaving puffs of smoke beside me and then taking a down turn.

My stomach roughly bouncing off the rocks while descending. Getting closer and closer too them hearing Fluttershy's cries and her yellow body illuminating the darkness. Feeling a strike of tension growing in my body splashing the rain off my wings. Now turning upwards gliding off the land passing tree after tree.

In the distance tall grey infrastructure being revealed under the fog. Coming up right beside them reaching my hoof out to her. Suddenly missing her with the guard emitting his Canon and blasting me up over towards the building. Twirling through the atmosphere smashing through the glass roof and landing on the metal rail platform.

Jumping back up and seeing a wide hole in my left wind mending its self. looking around me a dark room with a barren door open half way ahead of me. Looking to my left and right to walls with the paper peeling off revealing the dark damp bricks. Looking down with the rain crashing to the ground and slipping off more walkways. Feeling a prickly feeling in my tail appearing to be Angel Bunny flapping his big white ears and then looking at me.

Hearing a loud female voice echoing in pain through the building.

"Come on we haven't much time!" Saying to angel bunny starring at me in panic.

Sprinting towards the door opening it leading to a small square grey withered wall with shelves packed with syringes and test tunes with a convayer belt cycling through the middle with a reinforced door to the left. Looking through a glass window seeing a big red button reading "Open Door." The rabbit looking at me making a carrying signal with his paws and then pointing at the belt. Gently lifting him up and placing him on it rolling into the other room and jumping on the button. The door sliding open in a flash seeing two guards.

"Hey!!! You're not supposed to be in her." Both of them saying it at the same time.

With haste slashing my wings at them knocking them out. Running over to the control panel hearing Fluttershy really screaming this time ratting the walls. Angel Bunny jumping on random buttons opening the other door and running through it. Seeing her trapped to a metal seat with one of the doctors readying the injecting. Quickly flying down slicing the injecting in two with it dripping all over his hands. Rasing my wing at the doctor with him exclaiming

"Please don't hurt me I didn't mean to do it ."

The doctor running away. Breaking the steel straps attached to her hoofs freeing her. Fluttershy running over to me with tears in her eyes.

"I'm so sorry Xareth "

"No Fluttershy it's all my fault!" Apologizing to her.

"Did the do anything to you ?"

"No..."

Letting out a sigh of relief .

"but , but they said they were going to..."

More water pouring out of her teal eyes bearing her head underneath my left wing feeling her soak into my coat. A Mature female voice interrupting us

"Oh what a Pretty site it seems my darling has become so much more ... and aww he's found himself a filly friend."

"Looking at the top of the room to a big flat screen television seeing a mare with sanguine eyes and a long bright purple mane following with

"... And you have finally come home and look at you, look at what you have become my dear Xareth."

"Who are you ?", looking towards the screen and asking her.

"Oh , you don't remember me , your precious Mara ? the forgetful one you are... I'm the one who gave you this, gave you a second chance."

Looking at my wings and then looking back at the T.V with her saying.

"Yep! and I gave you those aswell, I gave you everything you wanted."

"Why did you do this to me , you've turned me into a monster."

Mara laughing hysterically at me and saying

"A monster, ha you have become such a divine creature and you wanted this remember."

A flashback occuring into me flying in the middle of a forest with tall grass surrounded by tall thick trees. Feeling so weak and tired looking at Mara running over to me while lying on the ground.

"Oh my poor child what's wrong?"

"I don't feel well."

"Where are your people ?"

"I ran away..." Responding to her.

"Why ?" asking me.

"They don't like me... I'm not perfect... like them"

Feeling on the verge of passing out.

"Well I can give you everything you desire, would you like that."

"Yea..." Saying in a weak tone.

"Don't worry I'll take good care ... of you ?"

The flashback fading back to the room with Fluttershy in my hooves.

"Yes yes now you do remember, you were nearly dead, but as you can see I saved you gave you everything. It's not my fault you wanted it so bad". Saying in a devilish tone.

"So what do you want with the rest of Equestria ?" Asking

"Ah , good question my boy , but first let me give you a history lesson."

"My race was being eradicated, we were running out of gold for our planet, we needed it so badly. So we did what we do best , we selected an expedition team including myself to search the galaxies for gold. We eventually detected a planet that had a major gold source, the one that you are standing on right now. We located the gold but it was too much of an effort for us to get it so Anlil, the leader interbred with the local female hominoids and with the help of our advanced genetic engineering serum we were able to mix his sperm with it to make slaves within no time at all. They were a mixture , what your kind are now, a mixture of ape and my race. We were able to get the gold sucessfully the slaves did their bit quite well but there was one problem. Once we got the gold and were ready to return back home, the traitor Enki one of our team told the slaves what they really were and got them to be as smart as us secretly. The slaves rebelled against the whole team, but they got away except me because I decided to join Enki by his side

With the help of genetic engineering we decided to make a race mixed with ape and my race and let them make their own civilization with a mixture of pegasus, earth and unicorn to give us time.

"Time! for what ?" Asking her

"Time to make the potion that that we gave to you so that we could turn everypony in Equestria into killing machines and to rebuild our spacecraft so that we could finally seek revenge on the team and our home planet."

"No way , its all lies!!!" Exclaiming to her

"No its true my darling."

"You know what , me and you would make such a great team , destroy the pretty girl in your arms after all she's just a pawn waiting to be a killer."

"Never!!!"

"Do it, you won't regret it."

Looking at Fluttershy and feeling a surge or anger within me , raising my right wing attempting to attack her. The anger fading leaving me out of breath and weak.

"No , I can't do it!"

"That's okay , Guards Get them."

Fluttershy fainting in my hooves. Flapping my wings faster and faster with the rabbit jumping off the railings and landing into my tail. Starting to fly out of the building with a hail of laser blasts. Moving quickly over to the closing reinforced door sliding through it without hesitation.

Dead Ends

Sprinting down the hallway in a hail of beams while carry Fluttershy in my hooves and scratching the walls with my wings. Fragments of the wall falling to the ground with small lines of blood leaving trails. Ahead of me the barrier door slowly closing with the guards getting closer behind me .

"Hold on we're going to make it!" Exclaiming without confidence.

Sliding under the door coming out into the open being surrounded by Five guards aiming their darkened purple shadow blades at us.

"We got you now!" The one on the right announcing.

Time slowing down feeling the blades piercing me with a flow of devastation streaming through me. Swirling around on the ground blasting them all into the atmosphere breaking their blades in two.

Rain starting to bounce against the ground cooling the anger within me. Flapping my wings bouncing the droplets off of my wings and zooming into the horizon. Getting closer and closer to the cliff keeping her close to me. Moving through the tress attempting to avoid them and advancing to her cottage with haste. Landing gently on the footstep, opening the door and then closing it behind me.

Softly lifting her from under me onto my back. Walking up the stairs and then into her bedroom. Moving over to her bed sitting on it holding her with my four hooves with her head against my chest with her mane flowing behind her head and her tail lying on the ground.

Her body, lifeless like a rag doll along with her eyes closed. Bracing an overcoming of panic inside begging her to come back to conciousness.

"Fluttershy" Saying gently but still remaining asleep.

"Flutteshy!" Again with shock.

"Oh Fluttershy I am so sorry" Another time with tears in my eyes,dripping only her face with her eyes opening.

Fluttershy gasping for air coughing up and regaining oxygen.

"Xareth..." The poor mare barely pronouncing.

"Fluttershy!, I am really sorry for everything its all my fault."

"Xareth!" waking up in shock and wrapping herself around me. her strands falling all around my wings and her body brushing coldly against my stomach. The water from her eyes draining down onto my shoulders and her head resting on my chest. Placing my right hoof on her back and caressing it gently hoping that it would calm her down.

Fluttershy removing her head and looking into my eyes full of tears staining her pale yellow cheeks.

"Oh Xareth I am so sorry I didn't mean for any of this to happen. They were going to do terrible things to me!"

"No this is all my fault!" I should of never brought you into all this." Looking to the right of me, Angel Bunny jumping up and down, pounding the ground with a sheer look of panic on his face. Hopping hopelessly over to the window and pointing at it.

"Hey look, I think he's trying to tell us something."

Gently placing her in my front two hooves and going over to him. Looking out , Ponyville appearing to be a view of burning empires with fire encasing most of the houses with smoke escaping from the ember. A stench of eroded rubble seeping through the seems.

Fluttershy beginning to cry even more again

"Oh no, Ponyville!, my friends!" Fluttershy fainting again. The white rabbit running over to me a shugging his shoulders in panic.

"We should search for survivors, anyone who knows mara's platoon went."

Angelbunny nodding at me swiftly. Letting down my wing onto the windowstill allowing him to jump onto me holding himself tightly in my fur. Gently shoving Fluttershy onto my back and walking down the stairs with immense pace. Rushing through the door out into the open. Even heavier tears from the sky crashing down all around me.

"Hold on everyone!" Announcing whist beginning to accelerate through the sky. Flying towards Pony ville, travelling above as the trees below me waving with oats of water splashing onto each other's leaves. Coming closer to the town landing right outside the entrance with a sign reading "Welcome to Pony ville." all scratched up and barely readable.

Proceeding over the worn brown wooden bridge soaking up all the rain with bits of wood scraping off it while walking. Over into the town with houses all demolished with walls broken off revealing what was once chairs, tables and kitchen appliances all turning to ashes. Walking through the ruins by desrtoyed house after house hearing nothing.

Eventually coming to a tree house with thick brown bark that seemed to still be intact except for a few broken brances lying outside the dark red soild door. The notice board to left catching my attention saying library. Stepping over the branches and opening the door. The Bunny hopped out me. Everything was pitch black until he jumped up on to a touch illuminating the room.

A round wooden table in the center of the room with lots of books of different colors stacked onto the table. The light brown floor circled the room with the carved shells on the other side of the table casting shadows on the spiral creeks. To the right of me a staircase entwining around up into an open room.

Walking up the steps quietly hearing a a very young voice taunting.

"Stand back I'm warning ya!"

Right in front of me a blue closet engraved with yellow stars rumbled as one of the doors peaked open. Moving over very silently and opening the wardrobe.

"Aaahhh" The purple dragon shouting in fear.

Moving back just a step realizing that it was Spike form the party.

"Oh wait!, I know you, I met you at Sugercube Corner, Xareth right!?".

"Yea its me, I mean no harm."

"Thank goddness its you, its great to see a friendly face. The whole town got destroyed by some really scary guards. They were kidnapping every pony from here even my pony friends! Do you know what is happening???"

"The world is under threat from by a leader called Mara, she told us the truth about the history of everything and wants to turn every pony into what I was supposed to be, a mindless killing machine. But it turned out differently on me for some reason, not sure why?

"Yikes!!!" the dragon replying terrified and gnawing at his nails.

Spotting a small wooden bed over beside the window, gently resting Fluttershy on the bed.

"What are we gonna do???, is she gonna be okay???" The dragon inquiring with panic.

"I don't know, do you know where they took everypony?"

"I dunno either, sorry man."

Fluttershy waking up again with a slight sense of shock.

"Xareth!" Fluttershy gently hugging me and then standing onto the floor.

"Oh hey spike...

Hey Fluttershy, I glad that you are here, did you hear what happened???."

"Yea........" Saying in dispair.

Looking at both of them

"Lots of bad things have happened, but I don't think that I can set it right, I've never been through anything like this before. I wish I had never stepped into your lives, none of this would of happened. I'm sorry..."

"Oh man what are we gonna do we are so done for."

"Xareth I know you can make things right, it doesn't matter what she said, its not too late, you are stronger than

her, you can make things right again, you saved me and I l......"

Fluttershy abruptly stopping her sentence with a slight blush on her face.

"You're right Fluttershy we can do this together, all of us." Saying bravely with a slight doubt in my mind.

"Spike! Is there anyway you can track them down."

"Yea maybe if use my dragon senses, that should do the trick."

"Time is on our side lets go." Announcing to everyone.

Running down the stairs and into the pouring rain. Spike using his horn glowing a sickly green and highlighting footsteps leading towards the exit and trailing up to a white castle with a purple bubble dome around it.

"Ah! They went to Canterlot, we better hurry!!!".

"Here, hop on!" Pointing at spike.

"Gee, thanks dude." Spike climbing onto my wing and then onto my back.

"I'll be right behind you."Fluttershy winking at me.

Flapping my wings, driving all of the loose wet off them and flying into the distance with apprehension.

The Castle

Hovering fast in the sky in the middle of a valley with the plants surrendering to the gales at the side of the mountains. Cantorlot, the large purple shield around it missing pieces around the outskirts of the keep to the right. Gliding forwards and then slightly to the left and then straight with full force.

"Yeahooo!!!" The dragon released with excitement with his voice echoing through the atmosphere.

Looking down at Fluttershy to my right with a slight smile on her face. Getting nearer to the infrastructure. In the same direction lower down, a legion of soldiers appearing as black dots holding ponies captive in an over-sized metal cage being transported into the entrance.

"Oh no!" Fluttershy and Spike exclaiming at the same time.

"We should strike now!!!" Ordering at spike.

"Man what? That's crazy there's way to many of them, we will be outnumbered!"

"Do you know any other way of getting to Canterlot?" Asking spike.

"I know a back entrance that will lead us directly into the palace. Its right behind the castle."

"Okay Spike , you lead the way,"

"Gotcha!" Replying with confidence.

"Lets head around the left of the castle so no one see's us."

Coming to the perimeter of the keep slipping over the reflective dome with Fluttershy behind me.

"Hold on everyone!"

Driving around the bend with extreme velocity feeling the air ripping past my face and having a contest with my mane.

"There, you see that small piece of land." A small plaza of land overhanging the u shaped gap beside the fortress. Placing my hooves on the wet green grass sticking to me with Fluttershy landing behind me. Spike, jumping out of my fur and facing thee big back wall of jutted cobblestones coming out at uneven places. The dragon, jumping around on the ground searching for something.

"A switch! There should be a switch somewhere.

"What does it look like." Asking spike.

"A big round red one!"The dragon announcing breathlessly.

"Wait! Let me use my senses."

This time a aura of blue beamed around his horn as a rim of the same color highlighted about half way underneath the ground.

"Oh there it is!"

Spike jumping on the ground digging harder and harder with his untouched claws now filling with mucky brown muck and dirt. Fluttershy and I walking over to spike with the button revealing itself. Spike gently stepping on it. The wall falling down showing a rectangle of pitch blackness. Spike sprinting into it.

"Come on!!!"

Following spike with Fluttershy behind me. On of the H.I.P.S soldiers swiping down and grabbing Fluttershy.

"Ooohhh no! Help me Xareth!!!" Fluttershy screaming with shock. The hostile, flying abnormally high up into the horizon and dropping her.

"Aaahhhhh!!!!!!" Fluttershy screatching. Flapping my wings and striking up into the air and diving towards the secret entrance. Putting her gently into the entrance as three more of them grabbing me back with the passage closing.

"Don't worry about me, I'll find another way" Instructing to them with the door shutting.

"Oh we got him now!", one of them smirking with a serpent smile upon his face. Feeling rage pumping through my veins and a gravity blast launching from by body with them floating in slow motion. Readying my wing as a sword and slashing one of them into the horizon.

"Nooooooo!!!" The warrior surrendering hopelessly.

The others coming back into motion and flying towards the switch and destroying it with a rail beam.

"You won't be seeing that dragon and that pretty mare now.

With anguish opening up my two wings and charging in the air colliding the sniper and Projecting him against the wall with bits of rubble falling on top of him.

"Help now!" The hurt comrade ordering the other one. The unwounded Captin swiping out a ring of tall skinny blades around his body.

"You're dead meat sucker..."

Charging at me I swiftly held the guard as a shield slicing into his own team mate. Colliding against the stones and falling to the ground. Picking my self up and brushing away the dust. Both of them on the ground one of them defeated. The alive one, throwing a temper tantrum.

"You're gonna pay for that for I am the Sergeant of Hiding In Plain Sight fool. My Life for Mara, for your kind is a disease."

The commander dropped all his blades to the ground and pulled out the potion.

"Two can play at this game." Injecting the potion violently into himself. Morphing from horse into a terrifiying shadow black reptilian shaped monster with two dragon wings ripping out of his side with his coat turning to ashes. This time his eyes turning turning to almost cat-like. Morphing at least twice the size of me erupting smoky fire into the atmosphere.

"Let's play" The beast gently saying emitting green smoke from his nostrils.

The opponent breathing out reddish green fire at me. Jumping out of his fire blast with time slowing down and manipulating the flames with my wings catching it. Making a huge flame ring and spinning it back at him. The blast crashing back at him making him nearly fall off the cliff.

Rummaging through the fragile ground towards him and throwing my wings point blank. Slashing at his belly and neck. Feeling his gravity blow knock me back against the wall. Stomping over at my direction picking me up with his slimy, slippery claws and beginning to naw on my throat. Shoving my wing into his mouth, breaking what's left of his rotted teeth.

The creature letting out a painful roar and putting his front legs up to his mouth. Aimlessly reaching out flares from his stomach. Dodging them and reflecting them with my blades and hitting him in the eyes, letting out another defenseless cry. Charging up against him pushing him off the cliff.

The demon hanging off the cliff wrapping its scaly black leathery tail around my right hoof pulling me down. Grabbing my back legs with his hands. Trying to slice his tail with my wings not reaching far enough. Falling down further with my hoof barely touching the patch of land.
Attempting to shake him off me banging him repeatedly against the cliff

Eventually my wings lining up with his tail and setting myself free.

"NOOOOOOOO" The behemoth struggling in agony with his vocals reverberating into the atmosphere.

Pulling myself up onto the land using my wings to aid me. Rushing over to the wall, banging on it hoping it would open, to no effect. Flying over the wall and on to the dome seeing houses and buildings tuning to ash and a bunch of black guards running towards the keep with a wooden pole. to my left seeing all of the ponies with chains around their hoofs and lining up.

Crawling slowly over it spotting one of the soldiers announcing.

"You have two options, you can either be killed or become a killing machine!"

Seeing a blue pony in front of the line with a short brown wavy mane with a sheer sense of panic on his face.

"You first." The guard instructing him with two other carrying him over to where all of the potions were lined up.

"No, I do want to, please help me" The poor pony screeching while being pulled away. One of them taking the potion from the table and pouring it into a syringe.

Spotting a crack in the dome to my left and flying towards it. The cadet, readying the syringe. Swooping down and grabbing hold of one of the enemies and bringing him back up and tossing him up towards the clouds. Going back down and smashing all of the glass jars with my wings with the liquid pouring all over the ground.

Quickly slashing at the other two in front of everypony gasping in tension. Time slowing down, my senses enhancing as the guard's hoof to my right colliding with my stomach. Spinning my body faster and faster bouncing the enemies onto opposite sides of the dome.

"Huh" All the ponies gasping in different colors, shapes and sizes staring at me as if they have never seen something like me before."

"Who's that?" A young voice inquiring.

Their chains attaching to a rusty wooden rotary device onto a main chain on the ground. Breaking it and setting them free.

"Hey there he is get the bastard!!!"

My hearing paying attention on a guard behind me letting loose a hundred soldiers right behind me. Moping back lines of mane off my face and flying upwards. Thirty winged out winged ones flying up against me with full force all grabbing on to me. Slashing my wing at them missing and forming a gap.

Holding me captive in mid air as a tall one in the center above me holding up its hoof. The rangers holstering their swords. The figure flying down to me and taking off her mask, turning out to be Mara.

"Come my boy. Fight at my side and I will spare you life." Mara speaking in serpentine tongues.

"My mind becoming numb with complete rage and anger, watching a vision of the whole of Equestria completely destroyed with Fluttershy dead in my hoofs."

"You know what you were really meant to be, You will answer to your queen!" Reaching her hoof out to me.

Stretching my hoof out to hers getting closer and closer.

"That's it, my boy come on , don't be shy."

Grabbing onto her hand unwillingly feeling her mind inside me seducing me.

"Now!" A young feminine stern voice intertwining and feeling myself transporting out of the circle. Now looking at behind the circle with Twilight Sparkle at my right and a blue pony bearing purple eyes and a shortish Rainbow colored mane and tail.

"Gotcha!" The lavender pony catching me in her hoofs and placing a pink rounded force field around us.

"Thank you so much Ms. I thought I was dead." Thanking her.

"I saw you from the castle saw what it did out there, it was totally AWSOME !!!" The sky pony cheering to me.

"Calm down Rainbow dash We are not out of this yet!"

The crowds of guards turning in our direction flying towards us...

Breach

The front doors barging down with smoke shrouding the entrance blasting me backwards against the wall, rubble falling on top of me from the roof.

"Xareth look out!" Twilight gasping with a hundred black guards charging at me.

Flying out from the wall and catching them all with my wings crashing them against the opposite sides of the wall. The rest of them gathering around me in a circle. My senses slowing down in terms of time and space. Swiftly turning around and and forcing myself into a windmill of dancing swords. Blasting them back sending them flying out side of the entrance and flying upwards towards the ceiling. The others crashing into each other knocking each other out.

"Now Twilight" Putting her bright pink force field around the comrades

Celestia and Luna nodding at each other and shooting light and dark magic spells concealing the dome and tuning it into a trapping them floating within it.

"Pinkie and Applejack push it through the door!" Twilight ordering.

The pink mare jumping on top of it and jogging on it like a treadmill with the other one pushing it will all her strength. The over-sized rubber ball rolling to the outside over the bridge knocking more and more guards over either side of the bridge with the horizons echoing with "AHHHHH".Following them out into the air feeling the freshness of the wind with the smell of burnt rubble puffing into my lungs and the cold rain cooling my senses.

A few of the soldiers escaping the moving globe and moving towards Applejack.

"Yikes! Oh Fiddlesticks." The fearful pony crying out in desperation.

Gliding quickly and picking them up with my wings viciously and dropping them into the river underneath the fortress. Their screams painting the area with echos. More and more enemies being forced to their demise with the magical boulder continuously moving.

"Awh, Thanks sugarcube!" Applejack in gratitude and winking at her in return.

Advancing forward into the first section of the town with houses and infrastructure turned to ashes and dust, other tall stone buildings set on fire. Looking behind me with Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle flying up behind me. Feeling more secure even as more guards rushing through the streets towards us. Observing Pinkie pie showing not a care in the world with her curly pink mane flopping up into the air and down again.

"Yipee , WeWeWeWeWe"Pinkie bantering on knocking over more enemy soldiers.

Spotting a group of flying snipers and warriors with jet packs emitting black puffy knotty smoke to my right horizon ,covering Pinkie Pie from my vision. My senses enhancing jumping to warp speed and bashing into them. Their bodies recoiling back and bumping into houses with fragments of wood and rock falling onto them. Landing on the spinning dome looking at her.

"Oh hai there handome!, you must be Xareth the one who is mean't to save us from all this , the one Fluttershy found outside her front door because you were running away from Enlightened Incorporated. Yea there the ones who gave you the potion but you resisted it because of...

The surviving soldiers shooting sanguine laser beams at us, being unable to hear Pinkie Pie. Reflecting them at the guards throwing them into the clouds. One of the beams nearly hitting her and piercing me instead. My wing healing itself and looking down seeing the enlarged bowling ball rolling onto the houses crumbling them all effortlessly taking a right near the edge of the town overlooking the mountain.

"Fluttershy really really likes you ever since the first time she saw you!. Shes never felt the same way towards anyone else before. She Can't stop thinking about you!"

More guards coming our way this time a really tall invisible figure only being able to make out the outline of him swinging a big serrated sword at me. Jumping out of its way impacting a big crack on the sphere. Time slowing down again deafening Pinkie's rambling and highlighting the figure.
Sensing his blade coming at me. Swiftly blocking it with my right wing and grabbing onto him with my left one. Thrusting them into his body aimlessly in temper dropping his sword into the ground breaking the protective shield around Canterlot with a small section of land cracking off the periphery.

Finishing him off by releasing him from my grasp falling down in the direction where his sword fell. Jumping back onto the ball beside Pinkie Pie.

"Oh yea and you have a fifty fifty chance of saving us all and the missing part to Mara's weakness is....

"Wait wait wait! How do you know all this ?"

"That's what my Pinkie senses are telling me and they don't lie! Wait now there saying there we're going to fall off the cliff!"

"Approaching fast towards the edge of down breaking through the shield. Tumbling off the platform. Falling off the cliff at remorseless altitude.

"Weeeeeeeeee" Pinkie pie exclaiming in joy.

Zooming under the ball gripping it with all my four hooves dragging me down. Attempting to pull it back up with a collection of guards staring out the broken passage, Looking that there is no going back. Going with the flow forcing me towards 20 meters of downward depth. Pinkie Pie jumping off it and floating in mid air.

"Catch me! Catch me Xareth!"

Reaching my hoofs out with her back jutting in awkwardly into my hooves.

"Hold tight Pinkie pie!"

Springing down to the ground with a huge swarm of soldiers flying behind me shooting purple plamsa blasts at me. Avoiding them rummaging through the pale feeling wind, falling a meter by second. Heading closer towards the river, the rain drops drooping in furiously . Diving into the brink of the river crashing in deeply.

Looking inside in motion with my body leaving a residue of bubbles around me. Seeing nothing but faded black and blue. Looking above me with the pink mare leaning her hoof out to me. Holding onto it and pushing myself up onto the land. The palace now appearing as a tiny white line with dots appearing bigger and bigger ripping out of the seem immensely like killer bees.

Swarming at me getting nearer scattering like ashes. The sound of their wings piercing through the surroundings. Arriving directly in front of me ready to take me down at any second. A mirror shield blocking off them. The day now turning to night with the clouds augmenting to pitch black spitting tonnes of droplets per second.

"Oh there she is!" Pinkie pie annoying mentioning.

Mara walking up to me slowly in front of me. Her dark purple straight mane conceiving to the gales waving about. Appearing with her white fur being distinct in the darkness. My heart going into overdrive and feeling frozen.

"Come with me boy and I will cause no harm to you... , but to everyone else."

Immediately princess Celestia landing on the ground in between me and her.

"Mara please stop this madness it gotten out of hand!" With a concerned look on her face.

"Oh well well well look who it is the high and mighty Princess Celestia!"

"Leave Xareth and the others alone, Let's settle this me and you." Twilight sparkle and the rest of her five friends teleporting beside Celestia.

"Lets us help you we can do it together."

"No Twilight my princess I have to do this alone trust me."

"But what if you don't survive everything will be lost." The purple princess complaining.

"I am sorry but its between me and Mara, I'm sorry I lied to you about everything I thought everything would be okay but now its my time. You have all be great my students of friendship, may it live on forever in your hearts. Drainage coming from her eyes.

"Blah blah blah! You lied to them so what!, you will all become monsters after I defeat her its not so bad!"

"Goodbye, this is the end my friends!

"Do what you have to do sis I trust in you!" Princess Luna lamenting with pathos.

The Great white mare nodding at her. The Force field standing in front of us retaining us from interacting with the both of them. Princess flying to the left side of the field and Mara Teleporting over to the right of it.

"I won't fight you Mara I'll with offer my life up to you if you promise the safety of all Equestria.

"How noble of you! But I'm not letting you give in without a fight.! Mara with arrogance.

"So be it!" Silence breaking for a split second with nothing but the sound of the rain.

Celestia and Mara preparing magic on their horns simultainously an aura of ice blue and a contrast of blood red around each other. The two beams crashing in mid air creating a budge. Celestia's beam moving closer to Mara with sweat dripping down her face. Mara putting more pressure into her energy with her's now moving closer to Celestias.

"Oh no Celestia's toast" Rainbow dash panicing.

"We gotta do something y'all" Apple jack following

The Princess excerting more force into the spell suddenly shooting it over to Mara falling face first into the ground. Celestia Charging over to her and smacking her on the ground with her right wing pushing Mara deeper into the mud.

"Oh that grants me so much pleasure , You've just charged me up for what will be your doom! Now its my turn."picking her self up.

Mara moulding her body up and starting to spin quickly like a tire, rolling towards Celestia. Jumping out of the away asending up into the vengeful sky. Mara locking onto celestia crashing into her in mid air. The princess recoiling back against the direction of the wind.

"Owh!!!" Celestia crying.

Everyone including myself gasping hopelessly. Celestia regaining her stance. Mara throwing her wing at the princess exchanging blows.

"Oh you're a lot stronger than I though, just not enough!" Mara smirking

Mara throwing her left wing at her with Celestia blocking it.

"Stop this atrocity Mara we can both live in harmony its still not too late."

"No I do think so your kind is a complete waste and mean nothing."

Celestia charging her horn and shooting divine magic at her just barely missing her.

"Oh you sly fox! looks like the great pretty princess still has tricks up her sleve. Now its my turn."

Mara releasing her wings and flying backwards. And charging again against Celestia and then retreating backwards.

"This is what they shall all become when I am finished with them." Mara's flesh melting off her with her fur peeling off and disintegrating.

Her body morphing into green scales with dark green foam oozing from her mouth with matching color scales revealing all around her body.

Her wings Stretching out 5 feet each way. Her torso twisting and turning and enlarging to 25 feet bouncing effortlessly off the ground splashing water and stone onto the clear force field.

Her face reaching out into a dragons head sticking out her sanguine tongue in rage. Her irises narrowing and turning to emerald green with petals of serrated metal circling her neck and letting out a big roar.

"Oh sweet Celestia I don't wanna become one of those things" Rainbow dash exclaiming.

The Dragon what has become of Mara Swiping her with one hit sending her flying downwards. Bashing my wings at the shield breaking it...

Invent

"Now's my Chance!" Rushing out of the cracks.

Flying up towards Princess Celestia and catching her. Descending back down and resting her on the ground.

"Xareth you are the last hope! For my time has come. Please take care of the others, I know you will." Celestia becoming breathless and fainting. Feeling a surge of anger in my veins. Flying off beginning to confront the great beast being a multiple of at least a hundred times my size. The Enormous dragon emitting a deafening roar giving my shell shock.

Whipping its tail at my immediately. Dodging it to the left with Mara breaking off a section off a cliff behind me. My senses slowing down in real time feeling the large piece of grey rock coming towards me. Grabbing it with all my hooves vigeriously and bashing it off its belly. The boulder smashing to two effortlessly leaving no marks.

Breathing slimy green fire at me. Rushing out of its way resulting in syringes at the end of my wings this time not healing. Ascending up to the upper torso of her slashing my blades. Nothing but pain from bashing her scaly stomach. The Behemoth releasing her great wings at me. Fearfully boosting into the upper regions of them with her gouging at her own body.

Letting out a demoralizing roar in agony. Rushing over to her other wing. Turning her body around now staring at her ferocious reptilian eye'd face releasing both wings at me. Desceding to the ground escaping her grasp. Waving her tail again against the surface destroying land right at my tail while flying over it .

Using the spike ends of my wings picking into the bottom of her stomach. Accentuating up towards her other wing. Mara omitting another fire blast at me. Jumping out of its way and leaving third degree burns on my hooves.

"Aaahhh" Crying out loud.

Taking cover under the protection of her right wing. Gliding in front of her eyes catching her attention . The enormous reptilian pronouncing a irritating screech at me. Landing on the light side of her just below her neck. Launching her left wing at me. Clawing onto her mid stomach and damage herself again.

Pointing my wings downwards colliding against the front of her dragging myself up her body eventually getting to her head.

"You're going to pay for that!" Mara taunting in a demonic voice.

Mara projecting fire at point blank range barely getting out of its way. Eviscerating at her nostrils aimlessly with remoseless strikes. Moving out of its way releasing its wings in a frenzy. Avoiding her wings. My senses enhancing and piercing the gap in her wings. The dragon endlessly crying in agony.

Evading the strike of her left wing going in to finish her off with one final attack. Getting too arrogant and avoiding my attention to her right punch recoiling me back. My wings flapping out of control and being sent flying with my body reverting to a ragdoll falling down to the surface.

Bouncing off the ground three times and on the final time banging my head off a cliff emmensly. My vision becoming blurry swiftly.

Being able to decipher nothing accept Fluttershy sprinting over towards me with tears diving out of her eyes.

"Fluttershy no it's too dangerous."Twilight sparkle in mere terror.

My eyes closing but my hearing still functioning.

"Oh no Xareth, it can't be i'm so so sorry." Speaking louder than before with tears pumping out of her eyelids and pouring onto my tired face.

"Xareth please, don't go. My vision going out completely.

"Noooo!" We've been though so much you saved me, We should of done more together, I should of never of been so scared of you!, but but... I really enjoyed the times we had together, I know it wasn't much but nothing can replace the time I spent with you. I was so worried about you since the first time I meet you, I felt something towards another pony that I have never felt before. I know I never said it all along but I mean it with all my heart and soul.

"Xareth, I ... I love you." Placing her muzzle around mine and passionately plunding her soft cotton tongue deep into my throat. My tongue meeting her tongue playing around with it gripping on tight with it. The fluid coming from her mouth giving my a feeling and a source of pleasure that I have never felt before.Releasing my mouth and closing it again making a seal. Opening my eyes again her face with a sincere colour of pure yellow with rims of slight pink roaming over her cheekbones.

Regaining my virtuosity and moving it backwards and forwards at a desirable pace. Stretching my mouth sideways and longways wanting more. Boucing my tongue and hers off the top and bottom of each other's mouth,finally releasing it.

Jumping out on the ground feeling my body getting bigger and my wings expanding. My five senses becoming more detailed focusing on her breathing, the sound of the other ponies gasping and the sound of the rain pounding into the valleys created by the dragon.

"Go get her Xareth."

Feeling the powers from the potion and with Fluttershy's compassion combining into a unstoppable weapon. Looking down at the ground much larger than Mara with a look of disgust in her face. carapulting a vertical horizon of fire at her sticking to her like napalm. Grabbing my right wing and ripping her claws in two.

Mara painfully roaring and releasing a bolt of flames covering my whole body without even leaving the slight trace of a burn. Tearing off her other one banging off the ground. Using the rest of my adrenaline with one final blade to the head, Mara falling on her back. Putting my two spears together in fusion and driving it down into her stomach.

Mara returning back to her original form crying. My weapons standing into the ground at either side of her.

"No this was never meant to happen, you were meant to fail by design how did you beat me."

The mane six running over to us.

"The power of friendship is very real all along, Fluttershy and Xareth have just demonstrated that. Xareth let her go she has seen the true power of friends."

My body morphing back to its first stance. with all of H.I.P.S Circling us standing there with fear.

"Well do something don't just stand there!" All of the soldiers flying towards the clouds. The rain starting to stop with the clouds giving into to a bright twilight sky, pulling away like curtains with the bright pale full moon breaking through. The stars multiplying more and more dotting the like like winking eyes looking down upon Mara's demise and picking herself up again.

"Not so fast buster Twilght Sparkle putting a dome around her.

"Xareth!"

"Fluttershy" Charging at my with liquid joy coming out of her eyes hovering over towards me. putting her hooves out in front and catching her. Mooving her about like a new born and caressing her mane soft silky pink straightgently exchanging tears.

"I love you too Fluttershy!"

"Oh I love you more than anything Xareth!"

Angel bunny popping out of my tail crying putting a hankercheif around his eyes and blowing his nose.

"Will we be together forever" Fluttershy asking

"I hope so I really do." Confidently replying.

"Hey look Mara is getting away!" Pinkie Pie pointing over to the river.

"It's okay Pinkie She's learned her lesson about friendship!" Twilight sparkle nodding with every other pony laughing with joy.

Walking over to Princess Celestia opening her eyes at me with a great big smile on her face.

"Well done Xareth, I can't believe you did it my child. A great journey you have gone through. Looks like your have a made some friends along the way and even fallen in love. " Looking down at Fluttershy grinning and blushing.

"You had something all along that she would never of understood, and that simply is..." Pinkie pie hopping over to me

Recovery

The guards swarming around us without hesitation.

"Twilight bring him to the keep I can take on all these bosos!." The pegasus ordering with arrogance.

"Okay, Hold on Xareth!" Grabbing me close and activating her teleportation spell.

Falling on the red wine carpet lining in the center of the white diagonal checkered floor. Twilight Sparkle falling from the plain white ceiling

"I got ya." Catching the purple pony in an upright position with her tail landing on the floor and her straight mane dropping

infront of her face. A slight blush rendering above a slight cresent smile.

"Good Catch Xareth." Releasing her with my grip.

"Twily." A nasily young voice exclaiming breaking the silence of the golden frame royal pink walls holding blue and red banners shaking with his vocals. Running towards her with the sound of his hoofs echoing along the glossy floor coming out from an archway.

"Big brother!" Twilight sprinting towards him hugging him in the middle of the room.

"I thought I would never see you again." sobbing with water staining the floor coming out from his deep ocean eyes with his short wavy blue mane moping over his forehead exaggerating his white coat and his tale shaking in anticipation.

"Do you know what in Celestia is going on ???." Asking

"I don't even from all my years of research and reading books nothing, I mean all I know is that the whole of ponyville has been destroyed and overhearing the guards about some "Age old plan."

"Quickly we must see Princess Celestia at once, your friends Pinkie and Applejack and even Rarity are protecting the

I'm gonna go help them.

Charging down the alleyway towards the front door .

"Come on, Xareth!" Instructing at me following her up the steps where the linen was covering leading into a big half oval shaped brown reinforced door with Twilight bursting it open.

"Twilight Sparkle come quickly!" A tall horse calling us over bearing a long sparkly mane effortlessly touching the floor with shades of teal, dark pink, sky blue and grass green flowing throughout with her tail matching. Her irises pink , a golden crown on her head with a small purple diamond in the middle of it.

Her necklace the same color as her headpiece with another jewel in the center of it and spiral designs at either side of it. Golden spade shaped armor at her hoofs.

"Princess Celestia, you must know what is going on I have no idea ???" A slight tearing coming from princess Celestia's eyes.

"Oh I feared this day would come. I have always kept it a secret from everypony hoping that it will never happen. Mara, one of the first ponies to be ever to come into existence, she is ready and will stop at nothing to complete her mission.

The mighty princess using her telekenesis spell on a nearby silver cloth , clotting the river from her eyelids.

"The legends and theories and true we really are an engineered race by beings on another universe called Uribin. Their world was dying and needed energy badly, so they came here and mixed with the local existence. Her and her team crew sent to find the resources and had no choice but to recreate with "those" living on the planet at the time. One other on her side stayed with them on Equestria in which she betrayed due to power.

"All of them got scattered due to the disagreement to different corners of the world. Cutie marks used as a distraction for everyone to pay attention to something else while she went ahead with her plan. Making more and more ponies in order to create her vast army. She wants to take revenge on her home planet."

"That can't be true, Look at all the enemies that threatened us and that we have defeated."We brought back the elements of harmony together, we defeated Queen Chrysalis, Prince Sombre and even Tirek! Was that all for nothing!?.

"They were all her minions in which she made in hope to conquer Equestria but now since they have not prevailed, she is now taking matters into her own hoofs."

"Why did you never tell me this , even as a princess I have a right to know!!!" Flapping her wings in fustration.

"I'm sorry my child, I wanted to make this world a better place. I wanted to make peace from all of this chaos. I was hoping by the time that all of her minions were defeated that she would have given up or herself would of gone away. But I was very foolish and now a lot of ponies are going to become dead because of me. Falling to the floor with a flood of colours constructing a river down the steps.

Twilight and I running towards her helping her back up. both placing our hoofs around her stomach.

"Have you told anyone else?" The young mare asking.

"Luna you and your new friend only know but once Mara arrives everyone will know,everything was all for nothing." Celestia speaking softly. Tears stopping.

"Even if it is true, friendship is still real and we can overcome Mara we will live on and this will be a distant memory, there is still

hope!. For after all we have Xareth he saved Fluttershy from her her will stop her!

"Excuse me, Princesses I have been injected with the potion and I still feel like me. Okay I know I am a lot stronger than before, but

some reason I didn't change completely. By the way my name is Xareth, sorry for the abrupt introduction.

"Well hmm... there was an unwritten version of a legend where somepony or something would reject Mara's powers and defeat her somehow, but I don't know what her weakness is unfortunately the myth never said what.

"My Sister you must come at once, the main castle doors are on the brink of being breached." A voice interupting.
A young tallish mare with a shadowy blue main and matching eyes and coat with a moon as her cutie mark. Fluttershy and spike appearing behind her.

"Twilight! Xareth!" Fluttershy running up towards me and putting her hoofs around me.

"Oh, my I was so worried!"With tears running out of her eyes.

"Its okay Fluttershy" Replying

"We will need to act now to combat Mara's defenses, if we do we might have a chance of stopping her."

"We'll be there right away Luna."

All spriting side by side following her down the corridor with the banners on the walls moving and the carpet falling out of place passing by corridors. Arriving at the main door with all of her friends there.

"Do you know what in all of Equestria is going on Pinkie pie?A mare with An orange colored mare with a straight blond mane ending in a round knot with apple green eyes Struggling to hold back the Dark brown wooden door.

"Oh I don't know Applejack something some species from another planet looking for gold to restore their home and mixing with animals and making slaves out of them to get the gold. Then one of her teammates told then what the really were and rebelled against them. Mara stayed with them and her friend and rebuilt a rocket and had a disagreement with him and it blew up sending all of the animals now called horses away to different corners of Equestria. Mara invented cutie marks as a distraction for everypony to focus on something while she went ahead with her plan to make everypony into an army of elite killing machines so that Mara can get her own back on her home world and now shes here and is doing it.

Pinkie pie out of breath and Applejack shrugging.

"Come on Rarity, we need your help with the door." The orange pony instructing.

"I'm trying!" A White young mare crying out with her dark purple wavy mane flowing in front of her face accentuating her pale white fur

with three blue diamonds on he flank as her cutie mark.

"They're going to enter if we don't hold them back, Come on everypony!" Twilight Sparkle announcing.

Running over to the door with Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle exerting maximum pressure against it.

"It wont hold any longer!!!" The lavender alicorn struggling. "Brace yourselves...
