The Man with the Hidden Past

Author's Note: Sorry about my monthly delay, I decided to give my friend Darkclaw a chance to write. It's kinda obvious he got distracted for a whole month. So here's what I got so far.

The walk to my cave was probably the most interesting walk in my life. Whenever the wolf would get near the ground, all the plant life would try to reach up and grab it. And seeing as how I was in a forest only meant that I eventually lost the wolf to the plants.

"Fucking plants. If I knew if you where poisonous or not I would eat you." I said as I looked back at the mass of plants surrounding the wolf.

"Bastards..." I mumbled as I moved the pony-thing to my other shoulder. After about 10 more minutes of walking I finally reached my cave. I took out my knife and put it in my teeth. I could taste the sap from the tree it was in. Surprisingly sweet. And bitter... But I enjoyed the taste while it lasted. I was getting tired of the taste of nothing. I threw the pony-thing over by Freddy and put my knife in Freddy to keep it safe. Then walked over to my home-made armor and weapons.

"This stuff needs to go. It's not like I really needed it in the first place. But I'm keeping the skull." I said as I picked everything but the skull up. I quickly walked to the cave entrance and dug a small hole to toss the stuff in. After I stashed the stuff and buried them, I ran back in the cave to get out of the rain.

"At least it's lightening up some." I said as I watched the rain at the mouth of the cave. I stood there lost in thought for about 3 minutes before I came back to reality. I walked back to where the pony-thing was and looked closer at it.

The creature was pitch black all over, with the exception of grey highlights on his mane and tail. It was a unicorn, but appeared to have devil's horns in addition to is single large horn. It's mane was styled like a Mohawk, and the tail looked like 2 scythes pointed downwards. It's cutie mark (if it even had one...) was obstructed by a black lab coat that it wore underneath it's gray jacket. The creature had grey sweat bands around each leg, and some sort of armored plating on its hooves.

After I looked closer at it's hooves, I noticed a faint glow coming from where I had broken off its claw. Then I noticed the same glow coming from the claw wedged in its eye... The claw in the eye was shrinking and the claw on its hoof was growing!

"What the fuck...? What is this thing!?" I heard a faint beeping sound followed by a strange robotic voice saying something in a language I couldn't understand. "Is this thing a robot? Ha. That would be funny. A robot in Equestria... Wait. I'm a human. This world was fucked up the moment I got here. Eh. Who knows?"

I dreh.

"And.... Mr. Creepy Voice is back. Perfect." I said as I stood back up and looked for the voice.

My gift of immortality is wasted on you. You have done nothing but waste your body's time.

I only had a single facial expression while he talked. When he was done, I saw a small ball of light. After a few seconds, the light started to move. It grew legs, arms, and a head, all at the same time. Soon the light was to bright for me to look at and I shielded my eyes. It was giving off a great heat, and I backed away slightly. The heat kept growing, but I didn't sweat, or feel like I was burning. I slowly looked pasted my hand and saw the figure reaching out to me. I quickly backed up to the cave wall to try and get away. As I was walking backwards, I kept my eye on the figure. It didn't get any farther. Only closer. By the time I was against th wall, It's hand was inches away from my chest. Seeing as how i had nowhere else to run, I sighed and hung my head in defeat. I felt it's hand on my chest. It was cold. I then felt like something was being yanked out of me. I looked down and saw my bare chest. Except it wasn't like skin. It looked like a blood red mist. I reached out to touch it, only to see my hand was the same way. I moved my hand, only to notice that the mist moved instead. I looked down and saw the rest of me was the same. I looked behind me to see my body looks the life in it's eye and drop to the ground with a loud 'Thump'.

I tried to speak, only to find out my voice sounded alot like it did before. Which suprised me saying how I no longer had a physical mouth. "What did you do?"

I have taken your soul from your body. I shall be taking it with me to my resting place.

"Wait wait wait... I've been alive again for only a day! You planned this!" I yelled at the figure with my 'finger' (I'm not even sure what to call it right now. I don't think 'mist' is good enough.)

Of course! I'm, as you say, Awesome!

"No you're not dude, don't lie!" (Lets see how many people got that reference.)

Eh. I don't care what you say. You ain't even a solid person.

"Neither are you! You argument is invalid!"

Suddenly, the figure made of light, turned to moving stone.

You where saying?

"Ok, now that's just cheating." I said as I crossed my arms. I think. I don't know, it all looked like one big piece of blood red mist.

"Hey, why am I blood red? I always described myself as gray. That's how spirits work right? You become what you describe yourself as?" I asked the figure.

No. Where did you get that heinous idea?

"How the fuck should I know. I'm more random than Pinkie at times."

True. But the color of your soul depends on its element.

"You better not mean that whole 'Elements of Harmony' bullshit."

That? Oh. Of course not. That's fake. I do all the work behind that. What I mean is elements as in Fire, Earth, Water, Wind, Light, and Darkness.

"So I'm fire?" I asked.

Kinda. Notice how it's a dark red. I haven't seen this color in a while actually.

"So? What does it mean?" I said. I was getting annoyed with this guy, first, he tricks me, then he says a bunch of stuff about 'elements'. I'm just waiting for him to tell me what I want to know and leave me alone.

I seem to have forgotten. I guess you'll have to figure it out on your own.

"Oh you're a dick. You totally know." I said.

Of course I know. I just like toying with you. Have fun! I said before it quickly grabbed my body and snapped its fingers. After it snapped it's fingers, it dissapeared in a bright flash.

"Bastard." I said as I good my head. I took a step forward only to notice that my foot wasn't there. My legs had joined sometime while I was talking without me noticing. Instead, there was just this mist trail.

"Well this is gonna be fun." I said as I tryed to figure out how to move. I felt a small twitch on my back and I tooked behind me. I noticed I still had my wings.

"Well, that's one thing to be happy about I guess." I said to myself. But the twitching became a poke. Then a jab. I looked past my wings to see a familar manticore standing behind me. I turned fully around to get a better look at it.

"Oh... I remember you. Hehe... What's up Freddy." I said with a snigger.

It let out a low growl as a responce.

"Ok... good luck with that. I'm just gonna go." I said as I tried to move forward. "As soon as I figure out how."

After a while, I just said "Fuck it" and tryed to use my wings. Didn't work.

"Gah. What am I doing wrong?! It's just moving forward!" I yelled at nobody in particular. I then tryed just thinking about moving forward. It worked.

"Of course." I said as my face met the palm of my hand. I made my way through the cave and got to the mouth of it.

"I wonder if this is gonna be like vampires when they go in sun." I said to myself as I moved into the sun.

"No sparkles. Perfect! And as far as I can tell, that figure said I was wasting my body's time. So that means my spirit is immortal instead, I guess." I said.

"I wonder if I can haunt someone. But first, if I have no physical form, can I lift things?" I said as I looked around. All I could see where trees and boulders.

"Ok... Don't wanna go big right away..." I said as I figured I wouldn't be able to lift a tree or a boulder. I kept floating foward and felt something where my feet used to be. I looked down to see... just an average rock.

"Good enough." I said as I reached down to try and pick it up. I felt the rock in my hands as I picked it up. I got it to about eye level and focused on it. I saw it start to smoke. After a few puffs of it, it started to turn red, then orange, and it started to melt in my hand. Seeing this, I quickly droped it. But I felt it drop through my hand before I moved it. I looked at my hand and saw it was the same. And I didn't feel any heat on it. So I focused on the rock again and saw it start to melt again. It eventually just turned to a liquid so I decided that it was done.

I thought.

"I wonder..." I said as I looked at my hands. I held them both out in front of me and focused on them. Suddenly, I bright white fire grew in my left hand. I focused on my right. and a bright fire shaped in a heart formed. I closed both of my hands while focusing on them still. I opened them to see that they where gone. I looked around me to see the ground was slowly growing plants with a slight white glow to them. And the animals had a slight red glow in their eyes. And they seem to be 'friendlier' with each other.

"Ok... This isn't strange at all..." I said to myself as I looked at what's unfolding around me. I looked back at the plant because I didn't need to see any more of that. I saw that the plants there only grew about 6 ft away from me and then stoped suddenly. I moved toward the edge to see why. I took a posture that would rezemble kneeling if I had legs. I couldn't see any reason that I knew of. Then I got an idea.

I thought. I could see the white fire come from my hand, which was by my side. "Damn, that's one bright light." I said quickly before I got back to work. I looked to my fight and looked for a healthy tree. I got a good lok at it and then focused on the fire. It turned a slight shade of brown and had green at the tips of the flame. I slowly put my hand near the ground. Once the back of my hand was on the ground, I slowly began to slip my hand from under the flame. The flam sank into the ground. I stood back up and watched the spot for a while. Eventually I heard a slight rumble and saw a small sapling sprout from the dirt.

"Hmm... Interesting." I then focused on my hands again.

I watched as in one hand, A small black fire grew. But kept growing, It eventually made a long black pole made of fire. At the tip, It made a sharp blade.

"Ha! I'm the Grim Reaper!" I said as I joked around with the Scythe. I got kinda carried away and ended up loosing my grip on it. I grapped it before it hit the ground, but it ened up swinging through the sappling. I was suprised at what I saw. It didn't cut the sapling in half like it should have, but the sappling withered away like it would if it wasn't given water.

"Ok... This thing gotta go. I said as I held the scythe in my hand. I focused on my hand and closed it. The scythe turned into a black mist and dispersed into the air.

"Damn. I'm awesome!" I said as I threw a fist up into the air. I looked around to see if anyone was disagreeing with me. No one was there in the first place.

"Nobody disagreed, therefore it must be true!" I said before I walking off towards ponyville wooping and hollering along the way.
