Harry Osborn: Rebirth

The heavy rain drops fell on a warm window, creating a foggy view outside. There was nothing much to see outside anyway. The dark autumn nights came into power and it was their rule now. In any world, any life the year cycle was the same. In any life I lived as I recall.

"What do you think, is it possible to somehow make the world a better place?" I asked myself.

"Lots of people tried. And so did ponies. But it all came down onto one result. The human nature cannot be changed. The ponies are similar, but they have a bit lower specter of negative emotions." The inner voice replied. He was the second me. But he was the one who knew everything. I felt comfortable of having him by my side. My second me always helped me out with an advice, or a good joke. Sometimes, I when I couldn't do something, I let him take over me, so he could show how to do this or that. It came fancy a lot while trainings.

It's been a month since the Battle for Canterlot. Since then a lot of things changed. I kept my promise to Luna. I left the town, taking away the risk of me hurting our friends. Sunset was quite upset with these news, but I promised her that I will return soon. We also have our mental connection. What is amazing about it is that the distance doesn't matter, so any time I could speak to Sunset.

Right now I was in my little hut in the Everfree Forest. I spent living here for just a while, but I already had to fight monsters for a few times. They were no trouble. My second me, I call him Ziggy, just for the sake of it, helped me with building a wooden hut and putting some useful stuff in it. I also put a small fence around it, just in case. I'm not afraid of anything, but still... Better safe then sorry.

I lived more or less into the forest. The closest neighbor of mine was a pale yellow pony with bright pink hair and a very big tail. Even by the pony's standards. I didn't speak with her a lot. In fact, I spoke with her only once. It didn't really work out. She was following me for little. The moment I was fed up with it, I ran in my speed mode straight into her face. When I exited, she almost fell with a little squeak.

"Oh, sorry! I didn't mean to scare you!" I apologized, helping her to stand up.

That moment it looked like she swallowed her tongue. It took me quite a while to talk her out of her trance. When I did...

"My name is Harry. What is yours?"

Silence...

"Okay, one more time. Hi, my name is Harry. What is your name?"

She squeaked something, but I didn't really hear what it was...

"One more time?" I asked, but when I saw her eyes... She was about to cry.

"Sorry... I didn't mean to..."

"Watch out!" She suddenly screamed, pushing me out of the way.

The heavy tree almost fell on place where I just stood. The yellow pony was still under it.

Using my speed and momentum, I took her of the danger.

When I exited my speed mode, she was with closed eyes, covering her face with hooves.

"You all right?" I asked.

She nodded, still with closed eyes.

I looked around. The tree was thick and strong. No way it could fall on its own. And it didn't...

Huge six headed monster stood, shaking it's ugly heads.

"Hydra. Watch out. One scratch of hers will poison you." Said Ziggy, calmly.

"Got it. And how can I shield her?" I asked him pointing at the girl.

"Give me a second." He replied.

A light flashed in my eyes. But with it, a spell came. It wasn't difficult, but required a lot of power.

"Do it. It needs a lot of power, but you don't need much to defeat this Hydra." Ziggy told, before leaving deeper inside my head me.

I used a pulse of magic to push Hydra away and the time I got was enough to put a sphere around yellow pony.

"Stay calm. I got this." I told her, as she was shivering from fear. I let my energy flow into the ground around the pony, making a barely visible sphere.  That should do it.

A roar from behind let me know my enemy was back. And it looked furious.

"I give you the count of three." I spoke in the extra loud voice. A simple spell to scare away opponents.

"One..." I spoke slowly. The clang of my claws was heard loudly. Wind swirled under my wings as I opened them.

"...Two..." I filled myself with energy, bits of it evaporating from my fur in a blue fountain.

Hydra seemed confused. Two ponies seemed a nice meal, but something told it to run.

"...Three." I ended my count, as the bright red color with heat filled my eyes. Ground gave in under my hooves with the energy filled me, looking for the way out.

Hydra, scared off, ran. Not retreated. Ran. I didn't chase. She was just a creature that made a mistake.

I let magic inside me fade away. The claws went back into place with a loud noise. My eyes returned to the normal color and my wings lowered to the normal position.

"As I thought." I murmured to myself.

I looked back to the yellow pony. She had her eyes closed shut, like she was expecting something different to happen.

I sighed, taking the shield away. It returned me bits of my energy back.

"You alright?" I asked the girl.

She opened her eyes, but when she saw me, she closed them shut, weeping, as tears ran down her cheeks. She was afraid of me!

"Sorry... I didn't mean to scare you... I wanted to..." I almost cried. What did I do wrong? "Sorry, I have to go." I said, entering my speed, as tears ran down my cheeks.

I scared her. I was the danger. Even Hydra ran! I ran around to make sure the place was safe, but I saw no more monsters, apart from fleeing Hydra.

I was about to exit my speed mode and attack her, but Ziggy's voice can from inside.

"DON'T!"

"Why? It's because of her I didn't get chance to speak with the pony! It's because of her I scared that girl!" I shouted. My heart ached as tears ran down my face.

"If you kill the fleeing enemies of yours, than what kind of a warrior you are?" Ziggy spoke calmly, but surely. "Listen to me boy. The mistake you are about to make now will never be washed from your soul. You are no warrior, but a pushover if you kill that creature now."

His words sank in. I knew he was right. I let my anger fade as I exhaled. I turned away and ran deeper into the forest, until I was left alone.

I exited my speed and started to cry. I was a monster... Luna saw it straight away. And made me go.

"Sunset?" I spoke in my mind.

A tear ran down my face. Even my friend didn't reply.

Something warm touched my shoulder. I cried even more. Somepony's hooves fell over me, warming me up.

"Hey, little boy. No need to cry." Soft Sunset's voice cocooned me. I fell into her hooves, crying hard.

"I... I... Ah'm a monster! The monster!" I whispered, as she held me tighter, stroking my main.

She took my chin and put my face upwards, so my eyes met with hers. Tears rolled down and down my head now, but I didn't care. The deep green eyes of Sunset filled my head, pushing everything away.

"Harry, look at me." She spoke calmly as I tried to gaze away. I didn't, though. "Like that. Listen. We choose who we want to be. Monster or a hero... In my eyes you are my best friend who needs help. And a greatest hero I could ever think of." She made a pause to smile, closing her eyes for a second. When she opened them again, she said "I love you."

Her words cut my heart to pieces, as tears ran down my eyes, more and more.

She hugged me even tighter, breaking our gaze.

"I love you too..." I whispered in her ear, breathing in the smell of her mane.

She pulled away a little, just to break into the deep long kiss which lifted the pain off my heart.

I fell on my back with her weight over me.

A light filled my horn, as happiness made our hearts beat in one rhythm. Bum-Bum-Bum.

Each beat filled me with magic. My heart flew, as butterflies filled my stomach.

A soft connection appeared between our horns. Green light of mine, connected with red light of hers.

We broke our kiss, just to get into one more, over and over again.

Pain and weight left my heart, dissolving in a pool of love.

The time flew. It became colder as the moon changed the sun. We didn't care. It was our time. The time of love and joy.

Breaking for a second, in a flash of light, we reappeared in my little hut. The fire was long gone, but with a little spell I made it burn again. Warmth spread over the hut, as me and Sunset fell in bed. The bed was small, but we didn't need much space.

"You learned something new?" I asked Sunset, as she was on top of me.

"You bet! Just leave it to me." She said with the smirk only she could do.

I smiled as the joy filled me over and over me.

The heavy breathing and moans of ours filled the little room, as the fire filled the room with the dim lights.

Time after time we changed positions, enjoying every moment of our time. Her body burned and warmed me.

The finale was close and we both could feel it. We broke together into strong tight french kiss. She let my tongue explore her mouth further.

"Harry! Don't stop!" She screamed mentally, as the tension rose in between of us.

I didn't reply. I didn't slow down. A wave of joy filled my very soul.

"Aaaahhh!" Sunset moaned mentally and physically.

Tension and heat rose and very next moment, when I could hold no more, I let go.

The shiver went through me one final time. Shimmer flinched in my hooves and relaxed, falling on me, heavily breathing.

Minutes passed as we breathed heavily in a tight embrace.

"Wow..." I forced.

"Thanks." She whispered weakly into my ear, before she passed into deep sleep, smiling happily.

I smiled inwardly.

"Good night, love." I whispered into her ear, knowing she doesn't hear me, before slipping into sleep myself.

A loud bang on the door broke me out of my thoughts. I was back in reality. Heavy raindrops banged against the window. I fell in memories a bit too deep, but now it was time to return into reality.

"I'm coming..." I said, standing up from the chair heavily.

Who could it be? It doesn't matter now.

I opened the door as the cold rain rushed in. A dark figure stood outside. It was a pony.

"Hello?" I asked stranger.

Newcomer didn't reply. A figure just collapsed into my hut. It was a female pony with bright red hair sticking from under the dark ripped cloak.

"..elp...ah..eee..." She tried to say.

She had a long cut down her spine.

Not losing a second I picked her up, using my magic to close the door and throwing everything from the dinning table.

"Sunset. I need your help. It serious. Bring someone with you." I spoke to Sunset and turned my attention back into the wounded pony.

I ripped the useless cloak off her to take a closer look at the wound. It was a long deep cut. But it seemed to be made by something poisonous, because it was starting to get a green color from the wound.

I didn't panic. I just let Ziggy take over. He acted quickly and swiftly. He took the potions from the shelves we created earlier and combined some of them together, in the same time whispering some spells. Light emitted from my horn, and series of flashes went through the room, as the magic bond appeared between me and the pony's wound. The bond had little spheres of light in it and as each of them slowly went throughout the wound. The girl twitched and screamed, but the poison started to fly upwards slowly. Something flashed to my right, but Ziggy ignored it.

"Hold her by the hooves!" He screamed, pouring the potions on the wound, making more of poison to fly out.

Now over the unknown pony was a small pool of poison, floating and trying to return to the wound. I held it tight.

When all there was no more poison left in her wound, I burned it to the atoms.

Sweat was rolling over my eyes, but I didn't stop the flow of energy into the poison as it twisted and twitched, trying to return into the patient's wound.

Suddenly, it was over. But I didn't slow down. The wound was still deep and serious. Ziggy left me on this moment.

"Your turn." He said and I grinned.

"Thanks."

I let the last bits of my energy flow into the deep wound.

"Aaahhh..." The poor pony lost her voice of screaming, but now the worst was past. The cool beam of silver healing energy flowed from my horn into her wound, tissues slowly getting together. Finally, nothing was left on her back.

"...aaahhhh..." She moaned. "Watch... Arghh!... Out!... The... Ah... Monster... Is... Reeaaiighh!! close..." She forced, before slipping into sleep.

I felt dizzy and I would fall on floor, but Sunset was by my side.

"The Monster? What a hay should that supposed to be?" Asked Shimmer, but the loud bang on a door stopped her.

Three strong knocks. They stopped as suddenly as they started. Or, at least, that's what we thought.

Instead of fourth knock, the door flew inside the hut almost hitting us, nut Celestia's beam made it explode into the little pieces. And in the doorway the huge shape appeared. Just a shadow of it, but it was enough.

The Monster has come...
