The Prince of darkness.

MEDIC.

Canterlot. The capital city of Equestria, is on fire. The small army lead by Aqua marine put the royal guard to the test. Most of the civilians have already evacuated, but the rest are safely locked away in the castle. 'The things you see before the show starts.' I stood in town square surrounded by a bunch of ponies covered from head to toe in black armored robes wielding spears they must have picked up from the armory. Honestly at the rate this is going, shit will be too fucked up when the show starts. 'Ill have to repair everything before I leave. Well I am done being a pony. Time to try out those 44's I got.' I cast a morph spell making me into my dragon self in my trench coat getup I used when fighting that goddess, except no sword but guns.' My current enemy's shuffled nervously watching a pony turn dragon, a black dragon. The fire filled streets seemed less hot now that I was really around. Feeling how comfortable both black magnums felt in my hands, I cast a temporary auto reload enchantment from my stock in my ship. I gave the crowed a wolfish grin and cocked my guns.

BANG!

Heather Pov.

That morning.

"Ah.. What a night." 'First I was link, then I got bitch slapped by probably the coolest guy I will ever meet, then an argument between myself. I'm just glad I am awake now. It feels like I have been sleeping for a month.' I cleared my eyes from all the crust that developed and got out of bed... or tried. The first step I took lead straight to me curb-stomping my face on my dresser. "What the fu...?" I looked around the room for the first time in a long time and realized many things; One, this is not my room. Two, why am I a griffin? Three, I just pissed myself. Trying my best not to freak out I slowly got back up

The door to my room opened and a brown griffin wearing a jump suit came in. He gave me a confused look as to why I was walking upright, or trying to. I look down to see that my nether's were showing. Blushing in embarrassment, the brow griffin slowly walked out after he saw the little puddle I made. The door closed behind him leaving me alone again. 'Shit I bet he thought I was playing with myself, or worse.'

The door knock loudly three times, probably the brown griffin again. "Heather, are...are you available?" choked a warm voice. I got back on all fours and tried to walk again. 'Heather? but that's my name. He knows me! How can he know me! If he does know me then maybe he can help.'

"Ahhh... now I am?" I said throwing a blanket over the puddle. The door opened to a very sheepish brown griffin looking everywhere but me.

"You saw nothing right?"

"Yepyep, nothing."

"Good, cause I need help?" I asked.

"Help, with what?" he replied.

"Umm, how should I put it. Where am I?"

Winter Pov.

Bang. Boom. Ting.

Number two thousand five hundred and twenty three down, much more to go. I just broke my record for most kills in an hour. Guns make spears utterly useless. Plowing through the city streets killing every robe in one shot or the next. At the rate I went, I have only have one more clip left for both guns, and I only got to the front door of the castle. I sent them back and summoned my grenade launcher with a belt of fifty rounds. I tied the rounds to my belt and loaded the first bullet like a double barrel. Kicking the gate open to the gardens I encountered a new foe. This mare wasn't in the usual black robe getup, but in a special armor set with a unique cleaver on her back. I aimed the gun at her and fired. The nade landed beside her and exploded killing her followers, but her. She jumped out of the way and unsheathed her cleaver. She looked my way hissing at the lose. 'Where are all the guards?' I sighed.

I charged at her shooting another round, which connecting beside her, sending her flying a few meters away. It didn't take her down though, as she got back up and cleared the gap between us, scrapping her cleaver against the stone along with her. I side step her swipe with her over sized hand fan and loaded another shot. She moved the blade to her left side and slashed wildly at my chest. Jumping back from her attempts, I parried her blade with my gun sending it flying into the air, but that didn't stop her. She jumped up catching it mid-flight. I was impressed, but I aimed the gun, pulled the trigger and made full metal bloody bits rain from the sky. Her cleaver and head landed at my feet. I loaded another shot and grabbed the slightly heavy, gold half circle in one hand and continued through the garden.

Heather. Pov.

The brown griffin named Brownie, was rather surprised to hear that I had no idea where I was or recognize who he was. He went on explaining what I did with him and Rose another friend of mine, and how I came to be on this ship in a rather calm manor. Apparently I am in charge of this ship till this baby griffin, 'Winter,' wakes up. Why is a baby in charge of a ship anyways? Though from Brownie stories about him, he is someone not to piss off, as it is rumored he killed most of a village during some sort of battle that took place. Brownie took me to the kitchen to eat after half of the day of explaining everything that has happened, and then lead me to the hospital wing to visit Winter.

Walking into his room wasn't what I thought it would be like. I thought I would see a crazy five year old painting dead people, but not a kid on life support. The sight took a bit out of me. The many tubes responsible to keep him alive reminded me of that dream, except I was way worse, but their was something out of place in the room. A sword. The sword was beside the bed chained down to the ground, somehow. I remembered that sword. It was the sword held by that man in my dream. Then the connections between him and this kid enveloped my mind, causing me to freak out a bit.

"Something wrong Heather?" asked Brownie.

"Yeah... yeah, it's like i'm seeing a ghost." I replied.

"Well, that's one way to describe him."

"What happened to him?" I asked.

"I don't know. Nobody does. He just collapsed after the fight and was placed here ever since. If it were up to me, I would have left him for dead, but i'm not the boss. Why?"

Tears started to fall from my eyes as my heart ached from something. "Heather?" He asked worried.

"I... I'm fine." I choked.

"No you're not. Whats wrong?"

"I.. I... He...I." I stuttered. " I have to go." I said running out of the room trying not cry. Looking at the kid sparked something horrible within my heart. Like an unknown happy sadness. The sword is all that it took for me to realize who he was and what happened to me.

Another wacky fighter down with a ridiculous over-sized weapon, many more to go. I quickly found out that the closer I got to the castle the more specials I came across. I found out that something was draining my chaos magic and neutral magic to the point I couldn't do any more spells. It came to the point I couldn't use any of my eyes anymore. I left it to golden eye so I could see, while I fight with just my strength, and gun. I got rid of the cleaver for a sun shaped battle ax. I had ten grenade's left and the hall to the throne room. Five more special fighters, and another small hoard of minions, guarding the door. 'This wasn't in the show, and where are the guards?' I sighed. I looked down the other hall to see that the guards were fighting something else, and Shining armor lead the charge. Letting them take care of themselves I went for the throne room.

I fired a bullet into the hoard killing one of the specials and most of the minions. The rest turned my way and charged as fast as they could go. I threw a bullet high into the air ahead of me and bolted for them. I rolled into the hoard dodging the bolts fired from one of the specials. Coming out of the roll I sliced up, killing one of the grunts. Not wanting to get jumped. I jumped into the air catching the bullet, reloading my launcher and firing the shot down killing the rest of the grunts. The specials didn't take a chance. The pegasus using the cross bow fired several shots, one of them embedded itself in my shoulder. Thankfully, just my jacket. I pulled it out while landing, and threw it into the throat of an earth pony with a giant hammer, killing him instantly, while I blocked an attach from another pegasus with my ax. A unicorn sent several fireballs my way from a distance. Not having magic, I used my only skill other than weapons. I jumped back putting the rest in range and I puffed out my chest and sent a torrent of dragon fire down the hall killing the rest, but the flying pegasus was reloading for another barrage. I did the same, but in a faster time. I sent a nade at him making it rain crimson. I reloaded and turned around to the door. Just when I was about to kick open the door to the throne room. Many more grunts charged down the hall. 'Damn it, Shining must have been over run.' I reloaded my gun and fired some more, painting the walls in red.

I ran back to my room in a fit of tears wondering why I was feeling this way. I jumped into my bed now bawling into my pillow, and I didn't know why. 'Why is this happening to me? This can't be real. it's just a horrible dream. I'm not a griffin. I'm just a girl.' I hear the door opened from behind and closed softly. I looked up to see my visitor hoping for some answers or comfort. I see a curios zebra, I believe her name was Moonlight. She sat beside the bed without a word, eyes filled with sad wonder.

"What is wrong Heather?" she asked softly. 'I didn't know.'

"I don't know. One moment I was looking at Winter, the next I was bawling. Why.. why is this happening?" I pleaded.

"Maybe you are feeling grief. Like the world between you and reality suddenly crashed, and you don't know if you can recover."

"But why him, why does he have such an impact on me?"

"I do not know. Maybe he has touched to in a way that, only he can give you the answer." she replied. "Do you need someone to cry with?" I nodded.

She got up and laid beside me. The warmth she gave calmed all worry and stopped the tears. I felt my heart skip a beat as she got comfortable. "Pardon me, but you look like you need someone to lean against." She giggled. I couldn't help but smile.

"Yeah, maybe. I don't mind." I blushed. She gave me a nuzzle telling me that the Heather they knew, really liked Moonlight. I wouldn't ruin her chance. As confused as I was, as the sudden outburst took my sanity away. Feeling such warmth took my breath away. This day went by like a breeze, even though I have no clue what happened, and Brownie helping me out stay out of awkward situations. I took this chance and calmly cried the rest of my tears away to sleep. This Heather that they knew, must be rather strong, and have a crush on this zebra. Winter was there, in my dream, showing me how I really looked like on the outside. I don't think ill be going back to that world anytime soon, and if I do. Only Winter can do it.

Inside the throne room was a massacre. The princess in golden armor, Aqua marine and several specials were left standing. Hundreds of specials laid dead throughout the room only leaving Aqua and what ever was left standing, but something was wrong. The princess wasn't wounded, but it looked like her power was being drained. I looked around the room to find the source only to find a staff in the grasp of Aqua. ' This wasn't part of the show. I wish it was though.' I aimed the last shot at the group and fired. Sadly, it only killed the specials leaving Aqua unharmed. She looked at me clearly no happy. I walked up to her giving slight relief to the princess and utter hate from Aqua.

"So, I had fun slaughtering most of your minions. Can you tell me why you are doing this?" I asked loading my last shot into my grenade launcher walking up to her. Tia looked at her with the same curiosity while prepping her halberd for another round.

"Why should I tell you?" She asked.

"Because, the Windigo grimoire has been erased from existence, and you have lost." Her calm died to anger.

"WHAT! How dare you dragon! Do you know what you have done!" she yelled.

"Yep." I said firing my last shot destroying the staff, sending Aqua flying into a wall. Unharmed. My magic returned as did Celestia's. I quickly cast for my sword replacing my grenade launcher, and unsheathed it. Nix lit up in black fire that ate all light around it. She got back up staring at my sword clearly not liking it.

"What, is that?!" she hissed.

"Oh this." I pointed. "This can kill anything, like the sun goddess over there. So you should tell me what your plans are, or else."

"Like hell I will!" She said before she teleported out of the room. Sighing I sent the sword back to its place beside my bed. I walked up to the tired Tia.

"Thank you dragon. If you didn't come when you did, I would have been finished." she chuckled.

"Your welcome, but I have to get going." I said.

"I see, then can I have your name for when you return? Maybe you can stay longer for a knighting."

"Sure I would love to. By the way, It's Winter. The baby griffin you tried to kill." I smiled. Her eyes lit up with shock as I teleported back to Azura, cleaning the entire city and caslte of all damage, blood and bodies, dumping the mess into a volcano.

I put myself back into a pony setting up camp beside the tree Azura was sleeping under. It didn't take long to make due to my returning chaos magic. I had a fire, a tent, and warm bed ready, but many things troubled my mind. That attach was too perfect. if it weren't for my intervention, all of history would have been re-written. I am a man of no goals, just go with the flow and stuff just happens. I think this is my first ever thing I must do before I go on with my life, and that's stop Aqua marine from doing whatever she is trying to do. Getting comfortable in my temporary bed I felt something soft lay beside me. I looked down to see Azura curled up beside me. She looked up at me tired, scared, and cold. I pulled the blanket over us understanding how she feels. She must have thought I left her for dead. Just like I thought she would turn out. I gave a soft smile feeling her try her best get as close as possible. I have time before I wake up from my coma. I should spend it trying to find where Aqua marine is hiding, and spending time with my new friend Azura. 'My life is weird.'
