Outcasted Hero

I awoke the next morning feeling the need to take a piss. "Crap, why are these things suddenly such a pain to move around." I said as I tried to get up of the bed but found that it was harder for me to sit up than yesterday when I walked over to Fluttershy. "Ah you gotta be kidding me, I must have shifted into an awkward position while I was asleep." I remarked as I noticed the way I was laying on the bed had pinned down both of my casted limbs and was preventing me from moving.

The need to pee was getting stronger as time moved on and I was still trying to get out of bed. When I thought my bladder was going to explode, the door opened and a white mare with her hot pink mane done up in a bun walked in. "Hello there young man, I was just coming in to check how you were doing." She stated as she walked over to me.

"I'm feeling fine, but I really need to use the restroom and my casts seem to be preventing me from moving. Could you help me move the around so that I could up before my bladder explodes." I asked.

"Oh, of course , here just let me get up and see what I can do." The said in a sweet voice as she hopped on the bed and unpinned my arm and leg. "There you go, you should be able to move freely, well as freely as your injuries will let you."

"Thank you miss um,"

"You can just call me Nurse RedHeart, and you're welcome." Red Heart told me before I ran into the restroom to do my business. I came out after washing up to find her waiting for me with a pair of crutches.

"The doctor should be along shortly to check on you, and you can leave if he finds that there isn't else that is wrong you. Here are your crutches that you'll e needing to stay off of that legs of yours." Nurse RedHeart informed me as I took the crutches from her.

"Thank you again Nurse RedHeart, oh and my name is David in case you were wondering, David R. Herrera." I said as introduction seeing as she has introduced herself already.

"Well I must say that it is nice to meet you David. I have to say that what I've been told about you seems to be inaccurate." She stated with a curious smile.

"Oh, and what exactly do you mean by that?" I asked, curious as to what she's heard about me.

"Well for starters, you don't seem to be all that hostile as some ponies have told me, and definitely don't look like some horrid monster that would go around chasing ponies." Well it would seem that I've already the reputation of a monster, it actually took a lot less time than I thought I would.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, oh crap that's fucking awesome!" I laughed out, loudly at that, much to Red Heart's confusion.

"Did I miss something?" She asked with an eyebrow raised.

I took a moment to calm down my laughter before responding. "Yeah, you did, but it's not like you could've known. You see back home I had gain the rep. of a monster, a demon even. People were afraid of me because of what I could do,in fact it had frightened someone to the point where they went insane, but that was back when I wasn't able to control it and though things are better now there's always that risk that I may do it again on accident." I explained to her light-heartedly

She seemed to gain a worried expression before she asked me, "What kinds of things can you do that could do that to somepony?" She asked. I was going to tell her but then another mare came in.

"There you are Red Heart, we need your help with a patient." The mare said before leaving.

"Well it looks like I'll have to find out later what you can do. Well good-bye David, I hope that ponies here will see the good side in you before they become attached to the bad." And with that she left, though I wasn't alone for long as the tan stallion doctor from yesterday walked in.

"Well it nice to see that you're awake and moving, how are feeling today David?" He asked after looking up from a clipboard he had in his grasp.

"I'm feeling fine, just a little sore here and there but it's nothing I can't handle on my own." I tell him.

"Excellent, but I still need to perform some test on you and then you can leave." He said and started to pull some medical equipment from all over the room.

"Uh. . .I'm pretty sure that not all of this stuff is really necessary for a couple of broken bones." I stated as I looked at everything he had setup.

"No but you are a new species that Equestria has never seen before and it would be wise to learn what we can about you, without cutting you open, so that we know what is needed to be done should you contract an illness or sustain anymore serious injuries since it took longer to set the bones than what it should have because of how different your anatomy is compared to ours." The doctor explained before it started performing various tests on me.

~3 hours later~

"That took way longer than it should've doc." I complained as me and the doctor walked towards the entrance where I'm sure the girls are waiting for me.

"Well it would have gone by faster it you had stopped trying to 'escape' in the middle of the testing." He stated while rolling his eyes.

"Excuse me if I don't feel like whipping out my dick for another to look at, or jack off in front of one for that matter." I shuddered just thinking about it.

"It needed to be done, after all wouldn't like to know that you'll be able to start a family with a special somepony if you find out that you are indeed unable to return home." Doctor Stable stated in a matter of fact manner.

I didn't respond immediately as my mind went back to something that had made me into what I am today. "Doc. . .there's no way that that's happening. I no longer believe in love, and even if i did, there wouldn't be a girl out there that would want to be with me. . . . considering what I am that is." My tone turned seriously dark as I said this and I could tell that it was making Doctor S uncomfortable. Before the moment could linger on that, we stepped into the lobby and I was tackled to the ground by a ball of unstable pink energy.

"It's about time mister, we've been waiting for you to come out for, like, ever." Pinkie said as she was standing on me, and I must say that she is a lot lighter than I thought she'd be.

"Well I'm here now, so if can get off of me so that I could get up, we can leave." And she did just that and joined back up with her friends. I picked myself up off of the floor and dusted off the dirt that had accumulated on me before looking over at them. "So we gonna get moving or are we just going to stand here like statues?"

"Just waiting to see if you were ready." Twilight said before she and the rest of the girls turned towards the exit with me following behind, heading to Twilight's home. During the journey there I took in the sites and trying to familiarize myself with the various buildings in the town, as well as watching the expressions of the citizens that were out and about. Some of them looked curious, while others (and by that I mean most) looked either scared or disgusted by me just existing.

Hobbling along the dirt paths of the town made the trip to Twilight's house all the more longer, especially since I was still getting used to walking with crutches, and it seemed that now that ponies were starting to talk about me as I watched them to one another and whispering things as well as getting the stink eye from a lot more of them."Well it seems I'm going to be welcomed here with open arms." I stated with laced a voice that was laced with all kinds of sarcasm.

"Oh don't you worry about them Dave. They just get to know you and they'll see that you are not so bad." Pinkie said reassuringly though I didn't buy it.

"I seriously doubt that Pinks; I was born with the entire hating me just for being in existence, though I've grown accustomed to it by now, and no one is brave enough to actually to do anything or voice their opinions to my face." I told them casually.

"But surely it's not a healthy way to live one's life even from you're from it must have negative effects on you life." Rarity said, making it sound more like she was asking a question instead of simply stating something.

"No it's not, but as I said before, most people are scared of me. Those who aren't usually end up becoming one of the friends I have in my life though I know that they won't be for very long because of circumstances that are out of my control. I grown up to be a shut in, especially for the last five or six years now, but I still live a better and happier life than most do. I guess I can credit that to the fact that I've managed to learn so many life lessons at such a young age as well as my psychotic persona that keeps me smiling no matter what challenges I come across." The girls seemed to have incredulous looks on their faces; not buying anything I just told them. "Look I don't care if you believe me or not but I'm going to continue to living life the way I had back home. I mean there may be somethings that I change about my personality as I see fit so that I'm not to much of an ass, but I will still act like an ass regardless." That earned me a glare from a few of them, and questioning ones from the rest, but as I said, I Don't Give A Fuck.

About ten minutes after that conversation, and they were all spent in silence, and we came up to a giant tree that looked like it was actually meant to be livable. "Well here we are, I had Spike set up the guest bedroom while we went to go get you so it should ready for you though I'm not sure how much of a problem it's going to be for you seeing as it's upstairs." Twilight informed me as we walked into the tree house. I looked around the room and saw that they had bookshelves that were lined with books all over the room giving me the impression that this was Ponyville's Library but didn't seem to hold anything that would suggest that this was her home until I saw a door with the little dragon I remembered seeing after I was blasted by Twilight, and saw what looked to be the kitchen in the next room.

"Oh Twilight, you're back. I finished fixing up that room a little early and also managed to make some lunch for when you guys got back." Spike said as he came out wearing a frilly pink apron. As much as I've always wanted to see a dragon and wanted to go and talk to Spike, I had to stay silent as I was having a hard time from laughing at his attire.

"Thanks Spike, that was mighta kind of ya to do that for us." Applejack thanked him.

"It was no problem, it's not like I have anything else to do." He might have been smiling when he said that, but I could tell that he was bothered by it.

Little guy must not have that many friends, at least that many guy friends he could hang with, or really any hobbies or activities that could take up his time. I know all too well what that's like though I guess I shouldn't really complain seeing how I have my defense mechanisms for fighting off loneliness. I thought as we made our way to the kitchen, although my body was moving on autopilot at the moment and I barely noticed when I had sat down and had the food placed in front of me. When I finally came out of my own little world I noticed that there was a bowl of fruit placed in front of me and with me not having had breakfast, I gulped it down.

"So I take it that you humans are herbivores then David?" Rainbow Dash asked.

I swallowed the food in mouth before I spoke. "Well some are, we call them vegans, but most humans are omnivores so we eat both plants and meat and I usually have more a carnivorous diet seeing most of the things I like to eat has some sort of meat in it." This seem to make the everyone in the room uncomfortable, just as I knew it would since they're ponies and all.

"D-d-d-do. . . . do you e-eat. . . .p-p-p-ponies?" Fluttershy finally said something since I'd seen her yesterday though it was barely above a whisper but I could still hear her clearly. I figured she would be alright around me with the way she was nuzzling me after that damn sob story.

"No, we don't eat ponies. No ponies from my world aren't really all that intelligent and either kept as pets or for things like kiddie rides at fairs and petting zoos and things like that." My answer seemed to have calmed them down and Fluttershy wasn't trying to hide herself in her mane; at least not all of it.

From there we ate in silence, I was first to finished and told to leave my bowl at the table and go get settled in my new room, for now. Mind you, I won't be staying long after my wounds are healed I can get some work here. I don't feel like free loading off of anypony here and I would like my own place that I could what I want with, because there are some things I wanted to do back home if had ever saved up enough money to get my own place that were to remain hidden from everyone else that I didn't want, or need, knowing.

Getting up the stairs did in fact proved difficult, but I was determined to get up them by myself and so declined the girl's offers to help me. After several minutes I made it up and followed Twilight, who was at the top of the stairs waiting for me, to the room that I would staying in. It wasn't much, just a regular room with a bed, closet, nightstand with a lamp sitting on top of it, a dresser and my own bathroom, which is nice bonus for me.

"So how do you like it?" Twilight asked from the door as she watched head over to the bed. I examined it and noticed that it was a little small for me to fit comfortably.

"The bed seems to be a little too small, but I think I can manage seeing as I've had to sleep in more uncomfortable means of bedding." I told her as I set my bag on it and started pulling everything out and stored it all away.

"Well if you want I could get a bigger bed for you." Fluttershy offered. "I have plenty seeing how I take care of larger animals as well."

"That would be great but I don't want you to if it's going to be any trouble for you." I told the timid pegasus seeing how I couldn't see her or any other pony wanting to carry something that big or heavy across town. Especially if I'm remembering where she told me that lived.

"Nonsense darling, you deserve to at least of somewhere comfortable to rest. Plus I don't think that it'll be good for either your arm or leg if you should sleep the wrong way.

"Yeah and besides we have Applejack and Rainbow Dash to help with moving it." Pinkie Pie jumped into the conversation and gestured to the country mare and daredevil as they smiled while nodding their heads in confirmation.

"You sure that all of you can handle it?" I asked as I was a bit skeptical.

"We're sure as sugar sugarcube, but if it'll make you feel better, we can always get my brother Big Macintosh to help if we have any trouble." AppleJack said as she saw how skeptical I was about it.

I looked at all of the mares and saw that none of them were going to take no for an answer and so with a sigh I told them yes, and I also told them to be safe as they left the library.

"I wish that wasn't crippled otherwise I'd go help but alas I'm here sitting on my ass and being completely useless. . . . . AAAAgggghhhh! I hate being crippled; I can't do shit in this state no matter how hard I try. Why do I have to be put into these situations and not be able to do shit than be a lazy sack of shit? I mean seriously though as if I don't feel bad enough already about everything that has happened, and now here I am having to sit and wait while everyone else is out making a contribution to something around here." I was so glad that Spike went with them as I didn't want him to tell the others how I felt as I knew that they would probably be showering me with their pity and that is a big no no in my book. I don't to be patronized by others.

I sat on the bed for a few more minutes after that thought before I came up with something to do. I headed back downstairs, which was easier than going up them, and headed to the kitchen. "I'm pretty sure that I could coordinate myself enough to make them lunch as thanks when they get back, especially since they'll most likely be hungry afterwards anyway, and it has been a long time since I've I had a chance to make meal for more than just myself."

And so I spent the next hour getting a big lunch made, though I've had to make a few things all over again as I had dropped them, and waiting for the girls to get back here. I was putting the finishing touches on everything and setting out the table when I heard the door open. Hobbling over, saw Pinks walking on her hind legs holding those planes signal things and trying to help the others get the bed through the door without breaking anything. Since I knew that I would get in the way I watched from the side lines as the girls came through the door, along with Spike and a big, red stallion that seemed to be doing most of the heavy lifting, head up the stairs, and into my room.

They all filed after a minute or so and the red stallion was carrying the smaller bed to a basement as I saw another set of stairs heading down that was behind a door. All the ponies went over to the couches and plopped down on them looking exhausted. "Took a lot more effort that you thought, didn't it?"I smirked at them as they tried to relax.

"That would be an understatement, I don't know how you humans can move around stuff that big all the time." Rainbow Dash said exhaustively.

"Well thanks for doing this for me girls, and guy, and while you were out I managed to make all of you some lunch and it's sitting on the table but with how tired you all look, I could bring them out for you if want." I stood there as I waited for them to give me an answer, but was brought away from them for a moment as a familiar voice decided to speak up.

"You're fucking pathetic David! You have so much more potential than this, but you refuse to use it all because you deny your true nature. Wasting your talents on helping others and play the hero; it's all rather pathetic if you ask me." The voice insulted me as I stood in the doorway to the kitchen.

"Well that is why I've kept you locked up since the 'Lacy Incident' now isn't it. I don't have to live a life controlled by anger, and try to be happy for once, and I definitely don't want you screwing shit up for me." I said calmly as I already knew what he was trying to do.

"It doesn't matter that you have me locked me up now because one day you're going to slip up and by then you will be in need of me. When that day comes you will lose the trust of these ponies after they see you for the monster that you are and then you'll be given no other choice but to allow yourself to let go of all self control that you have left, which isn't very much at this point." I feel sorry for this idiot as he actually thinks that that will ever come to pass.

"I know that I have little self control left, but last I checked it has actually been helping me to learn how to control my temper better. I guarantee that if a time ever does come for me to have to lose myself that I won't need to revert back to that 'Thing' that I became all those years ago. I'll do everything in my power to keep that from happening even if it means that I have to sacrifice my own happiness, but I won't allow you to win no matter what I have to do." I said with as much conviction as I could muster, but to be honest I don't know if I completely believe that myself. Years I've had to control this thing inside me and it's definitely getting harder as time goes by and so many people seem to make their mission to make me lose control.

I had been entranced in my own little world for quite some time until I felt pain shoot through my uninjured leg and quickly snapped back to reality and noticed that Applejack was standing in front of me with a worried look on her face which led me to look at the others to notice the same expressions. "You alright there sugarcube?" AJ asked.

"Yeah, sorry, I go into my own little world a lot and kinda do it without even realizing it." I lied.

"Are you sure, because you seemed to be getting really mad about something." Pinkie Pie stated.

"Yeah I'm sure. Now how about we all head into the kitchen and eat up." I said as I gestured to the table. They all looked at each other for a couple of minutes before turning back to face me and giving smalls nods before getting up from their resting places. I lagged behind as the ponies entered, but before I walked back into the dining room 'It' spoke up again.

"You know you can't hide it from them forever David, or would you rather me refer to you as Demon considering that is what you are, or better yet, how about your original name Yakaro: the king of darkness." I could feel the smirk he had on his face when he referred to that name because he knew how much I hated it.

"I'll hide it as long as I need to, and that name has no power over me any more. That is a side I'll never let return for as long as I still stand." I said in a tone that showed that I was completely serious on the matter, no matter how unsure of the weight the statement actually held.
