Chapters "A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles."
"Get out of here demon!" People shouted at a person who was standing over three robbers who had tried to rob a bank only for this person to stop them. The figure wore a cloak that covered his chest down to his knee. He was also wearing black jeans with black socks and black combat boots over them. His skin was black with white parts in there giving him a appearance of a skeleton. His eyes were also wolfish yellow with his hair being black. The person also had blood dripping down to the ground from the bullet wound where his heart should be.
"Freeze Reaper!"
The person who was bleeding turned and looked to the cops.
"Drop the scythe!" Reaper was also holding a three bladed scythe in his right hand.
Reaper stared at everyone with a neutral look but if you looked at his eyes you could see pain.
The citizens who were there were yelling at him as well as throwing stuff at him. Reaper stared at them for a moment before he jumped onto the side of the building and ran up it to the top.
Reaper could still them until he reached the top where he turned and sat down on the edge with his feet over the edge.
"Another day of helping.......*SIGHS*" Reaper stared down at the city he protected.
"This is.....I don't even remember what number it is. All of them are the same.....a least they don't act like the Romans." Reaper let out a dry chuckle.
After Reaper stopped chuckling he heard more sirens and looked to see police cars heading in a direction.
"As much as these people hate me.....I still want to protect them" Reaper stood up on the edge then proceeded to free fall down to the ground.
"I just wish that I found a place who will accept me."
In equestria where friendship and magic exist,there was a group of six ponies who were known as the mane 6 that have saved equestria many times were having a picnic.
"This is so good!" Rainbow shouted as she munched on a cupcake.
"It is rude for a lady to eat with her mouth full."
"Says the one who devoured her cupcake in one bite." Applejack spoke with a grin as Rarity just coughed in her hoof embarrassingly.
The girls laughed at Rarity who joined in with them.
"I'm just glad that we have time to do this."
The girls nodded their heads yes. "Princess Celestia knows we have been busy."
"Darn right with me being awesome at saving!" The girls didn't pay any mind to Rainbow who was being boastful.
"I love cupcakes but what sounds is..."Drinks anypony?!" Pinkie asked as her head was poking out of the picnic basket.
The girls didn't pay any mind to her but took the drinks and thanked her.
"You think anything bad will happen?"
Twilight was the first to respond after some thought. "I don't think anything can go wrong but I think we still need to be prepared for anything."
The girls stayed silent until Applejack spoke "Sugarcube.....you might have jinxed us."
Rainbow just scoffed "Whatever it is we can handle it!"
The girls smiled.
"Well we should probably get back now." Pinkie frowned but smiled quickly.
As the girls were packing to leave.
"Twilight!"
The girls turned and saw Spike running to them with a panic look.
"Spike what's wrong?"
Spike was taking in big gulps of air trying to speak. "Cutie..mark"
He didn't have to say anymore.
"What did they do this time?" Twilight asked.
Spike was still panting but was able to catch his breath to speak. "They headed into the Everfree Forest!"
This caused the girls eyes to widen. "They did what?!" Rainbow shouted.
"We need to find them!" Applejack shouted. Her and Rainbow were about to run off when Twilight caught them with her magic.
"What are you doing egghead!?" Applejack and Rainbow struggled to get out of her magic.
"Use your heads. I know you worry about them but running off won't help!"
Rainbow and Applejack stopped struggling with their heads down.
"Don't worry we will find them." The two just nodded their heads yes.
"I just hope they are ok" Fluttershy spoke softly.
Reaper sighed as he felt a bullet go into his chest to which he replied by kicking the person who shot him in the chin knocking the person out.
Reaper then turned to the last one who was shaking in fear. "Just drop your weapon." The person threw his weapon down and immediately threw his hands up in surrender.
Reaper just motioned for him to get down and the guy did.
Reaper went to turn to leave when he stepped to the side as a bullet went pass him.
He looked behind him to see cops pointing their weapons at him.
"Always late." Reaper thought as he heard them shout at him.
Reaper was about to to jump away like he always did until he felt his body wouldn't move.
"What?" He looked down to see some sort of symbol underneath him.
Even the cops seemed surprised by it. Reaper saw it was glowing then there was a flash causing him to be blinded.
As Reaper slowly regained his eyesight he saw he was in what appeared to be a forest.
Reaper looked around with confusion on his face "What just happened?"
Reaper was standing in the same spot blinking as he was still trying to comprehend what happened.
"OK I'm not crazy or seeing things."
Before he could think about this, Reaper heard a scream.
Reaper immediately began to run in the direction of the scream which sounded like children.
"Seems people are even in trouble here." Reaper thought as he jumped tree from tree towards the scream.
Twilight and the others were walking through the forest.
"Sweetie Belle/Scoots/Applebloom!"
"Any sight of them?" Twilight spoke up to Rainbow and Fluttershy who were in the air to get a better angle.
"No!" The girls were all becoming uneasy as they still couldn't find the three fillies.
"This is useless! The forest is huge how are we supposed to find them!?" Rainbow shouted.
Twilight was about to speak when she saw Pinkie......talking to a tree.
"Pinkie!" Pinkie turned and walked over to them.
"Darling what where you doing?" Rarity asked.
"I was seeing if the trees saw them!" Pinkie spoke with a smile on her face.
Before anypony said anything they heard a scream.
"That was them!"
"Let's hurry!" Twilight shouted which caused them all to run towards the scream.
The girls ran the bushes and trees as they quickly approached the area. The group busted through a bush just in time to see a Timberwolve jump at the fillies who were pressed up against a tree.
Time seems to slow down as the girls watched the Timberwolves jumped.
The girls were yelling as they rushed to Cutie Mark Crusaders.
The Timberwolves was 10 yards away, Reaper appeared in front of them and kicked the wolves backwards into the others knocking them down.
The ponies were surprised at what happened and we're looking at Reaper with looks of curiosity.
Reaper turned and looked at the three fillies with a smile while they were looking at him with curiosity. "You three ok?" They just nodded their heads.
"Well I think your friends are here." Reaper motioned with his head toward the mane 6.
The three fillies looked and smiled while running to the others.
Reaper stopped smiling when he heard growling and turned his head to the wolves who looked ready to pounce.
"You really Don't want to do that."
The wolves continued to growl while one was sneaking up behind him.
The wolve behind him crouched down into a pouncing since then jumped at him.
"Behind you!" Reaper immediately spun around kicking the wolve which crashed into a tree.
The wolves immediately stopped growling.
"Run." Reaper spoke softly but the Timberwolves immediately ran off.
Reaper then turned his attention to the ponies who tensed up.
"Are you three ok?" *silence*
"I'm going to take that a yes." Reaper turned only to find the Pink pony in his face.
"How did" "Hi! Whatarewhoyoulookdifferent!" The pink pony cut him off his train of thought.
Reaper sweat dropped as she continued to talk. "How is she not out of breath?"
Reaper opened his mouth to speak only for her to shove a cupcake into his mouth.
Reaper blinked a few times but began to chew. "Hm blueberry."
"What are you and are you a spy?" The blue pony was in his face.
"Human and no."
Reaper watched the ponies began to come up to him.
"Darling what are you wearing?" Reaper looked at his cloak.
"My cloak." He just watched as she continued to look at...."Did I just see stars?"
Reaper then felt a tug on his cloak causing him to look down at the fillies he saved.
"Thanks for helping us mister." Applebloom spoke.
Reaper eyes widen but no one notice except Twilight. "What are you hiding?" She thought.
"No need to thank me though can I get all your names. The ponies introduced themselves to Reaper.
"Well its nice to meet you all the names Reaper."
Reaper could still see that they didn't really trust him.
"Well Reaper do you have a place to stay?" Reaper looked at them with a embarrassing look on his face which caused them all to laugh.
"What is this place?" Reaper thought.
The group arrived back at Ponyville with Reaper heading to the library. Along the way, the ponies were giving Reaper looks of curiosity and some had fear in there eyes.
"It seems the ponies are not scared of me....or perhaps they are used to strange things." Reaper thought as he followed the ponies to where they were going.
Reaper didn't notice that the mane 6 except the Cutie Mark Crusaders and Fluttershy were looking at him.
"So Reaper what are you exactly?" Reaper looked to see the one known as Applejack was the one that asked the question.
"Scientifically or..." "Scientifically!" Twilight shouted excitedly cutting Reaper off and causing everypony to look at her and noticed she had paper and a pen. Twilight noticed the looks and smiled bashfully "Sorry."
Reaper just chuckled at her. "Well the scientific name is homosapien or a easy word is human."
The ponies chuckled at how Twilight was writing this down. She raised her head getting ready to ask another question when Reaper cut her off "Twilight I will be glad to answer you and anyone..." "Anypony." Pinkie cut Reaper off which made him look her while she just smiled.
"Right.....anypony can ask what they want." Twilight frowned but brightened up and smiled which caused Reaper to sweat drop.
"Did......I just see stars in her eyes?" Reaper thought as he stared at Twilight.
The group continued to make their ways to the tree house until found himself outside it looking at it.
"Nice." Reaper followed the ponies into the house and he couldn't help but sweat drop again.
"A library in a tree house."
"Spike are you here?"
Reaper heard footsteps and turned to see another po......lizard thing staring at him holding a fake sword.
The two stared at each other. "Cool scythe dude." Reaper smiled "Nice sword dude."
The two laughed at each other before bringing their fists up and bumping them.
"The names Spike!" "Mine is Reaper and not be rude but what are you?"
Spike just replied with dragon causing Reaper to look curiously at him as he walked upstairs.
"Seems it's not just ponies in this world.....if dragons are here does that mean other mythological creatures are here?" Reaper thought.
The ponies stared at Reaper as he appeared to have seemed to have zoned out.
Rainbow flew over to him and was waving her hooves in front of his face "Anypony there? Hello Equestria to skeleton guy anybody home?"
Reaper finally noticed and shooked his head "I'm sorry did you say something?" Reaper asked causing Rainbow to fall down anime style.
"I was yelling at you and that's all you say!?" The girls were laughing at while Reaper just rubbed the back of his neck.
"Sorry." Reaper spoke but walked over and sat down on the floor and stared at Twilight. "Let the questions begin." Reaper spoke in a creepy voice while shadows appeared behind giving him a creepy expression.
The girls just stared at him right before Applejack walked up to him and bonked him on his head. "OW!"
"Sugarcube don't ever do that again." Reaper just mumbled under his breath until he saw Applejack popping her hoofs causing him to sweat.
"Anyway first question." Reaper spoke as he saw Twilight already with her pen and paper.
"Are all humans like you?" This caused Reaper to look at her "Um carrying around a weapon like yours?"
Reaper just smiled "Nope cause they are not cool as me."
The girls just shook their heads. "Why is your skin like that?"
Reaper opened his mouth causing the girls to lean in "I don't know." They all face faulted except Pinkie.
"What do you mean you don't know?!" Rainbow shouted while Reaper just smiled causing her to get angrier.
"How old are you?" "17"
"What do you eat?" Reaper thought about this but answered anyway.
"I'm a omnivore." Reaper raised a eyebrow when he saw they didn't freak out. "You do know what that means right?"
All the girls nodded their heads. "It doesn't bother you."
"There are races that eat meat so long as you not trying to eat us." Twilight
Reaper just shook his head but smiled when he saw the fillies he saved asleep.
"Well I think its time we all head home."
Twilight looked over at Reaper "I'm going to send a letter to the princess so they come meet you themselves."
"Princess huh sounds exciting. What about the king or queen." Reaper saw they were looking at him with strange looks.
"No king or queen huh. Twilight mind if I sleep on your roof?" Twilight looked at him" Sure but wouldn't you rather...." She was cut off as Reaper ran out the door where they saw jump.
"He seems nice." Pinkie spoke. Applejack had a thoughtfull look on her face which Rarity saw "Darling are you ok?"
Applejack stood there then spoke. "He was lying....about his skin, weapon and age."
"Why would he do that?" The girls stood there thinking about why he would lie.
Reaper was on the roof laying on his back looking at the stars and moon while his scythe was laying next to him. "Aleast it is still beautiful at night." Reaper held up his hand to look at his skin with a sad look on his face. Reaper put his hand down and looked up at the sky and smiled.
"A very beautiful night."
In Canterlot Princess Luna was holding a night court with a bored look on her face "A very beautiful night." This caused her head to raise.
"Somepony likes our night?" Luna didn't know it was and went back to sleep....work not knowing what would happen tomorrow.
Reaper yawned as he opened to that the sun was up.......plus the fact he was covering his eye with his hand. "Danm sun." Reaper thought as he stood p and began to stretch his body making popping noises.
Reaper stopped as h herd Twilight causing him to look into the window and he saw she as running around...cleaning......and organizing. Reaper sweat drop when he saw a book go flying and almost hit Spike in the head.
"I thought some people........" "Somepony" Reaper looked around when he heard what sounded like Pinkie voice.
Reaper just shook his head then look back inside seeing Spike literally trying to dodge the weapon....books.
"Guess I better save poor Spike." Reaper thought a he picked up his scythe and umped off the roof landing by the door.
Reaper turned and counted then pushed the door open and immediately ran in gabbing Spike before running into the kitchen.
Spike was blinking as he tried to figured out what happened but looked p and saw Reaper who was smiling "Morning."
Spike just stared at him but then held up a cup that had coffee in it. "Morning want some coffee?"Spike asked as he was let down by Reaper.
"Sure please." The two wined as they heard more banging sounds of books.
"Is she going to be ok?" Reaper asked as Spike handed him a cup to which he drank.
"She's always gets like tis when the princess are coming for a visit."
Reaper raised a eyebrow at how he messed up his sentence. "Don't you mean this and they are?"
Spike answer was to toss him a scroll which he read. "Huh, they want meet me."
"Aren't you supposed to add to?" Spike asked with a smug grin causing Reaper to look at him. The two looked at each other then spoke at the same time. "Too early in the morning." The two clanked their cups together and drank.
After Twilight stopped her break down she decided to teach Reaper manners on how to talk to the princess.
"Wake up!" Reaper slowly opened his eyes and saw Twilight was glaring at him.
"Sorry Twilight but..." "No buts! Do you know what happen if you are rude or do something wrong?"
Reaper just stared at her with rapt attention now.
"You could be sent to.......Magic kindergarten!" Reaper just face faulted.
"Twilight I don't use magic plus..." He was cutoff as they hear a doorbell
Twilight spoke to Reaper before going to open the door. "Please be on you best behavior."
Reaper just stared as she walked off and sighed. "She worries about things too much." Reaper smiled as he thought.
Twilight opened the door to see Celestia and "Princess Luna?" The two were smiling. "Tis good to see you again Ms. Sparkle."
Twilight just shook her head and smiled "Its just Twilight Princess after all you are my friend. "Princess Luna pulled Twilight into a hug which she returned. The two separated and Twilight turned only to be pulled into a hug by her mentor.
"Its good t see you Twilight." The three smiled at each other.
"Anyway we came to meet this Reaper."
"Yes we...I would also like to meet this pony." Luna spoke.
Twilight led the two princess to another room and facehoofed while the princess were chuckling at what they were seeing.
"Let go....."
"You let go!"
Reaper and Spike were both fighting over.....a bagel
"I saved you from Twilight and her books." Reaper spoke causing Twilight to blush and pissed at the same time while the princesses just looked at her with amused looks.
"Yea well I let you have coffee!" The two were pulling harder on the bagel until it broke in half.
The two looked at their pieces. "There now you both..." Twilight spoke only to be cut off.
"Now look what you done!" The two jumped at each other and proceeded to strangle each other throats. Twilight was twitching as she was ignored.
Twilight horn glowed and she grabbed the two pulling them apart and slammed them into each other then let them fall to the ground.
"Ow." The two looked up only to shake with fear as they saw Twilight who looked like she was on fire.
Reaper hugged each other. "Are you two done!?" The two just nodded their heads yes then Twilight appeared normal smiling "Good."
Reaper was confused but then looked at Spike. "She's scary when she is mad." Spike responded back with fear. "Ain't she."
Reaper stood up and looked over to see two ponies who were obviously bigger then any other pony.
"Reaper this Princess Celestia and Princess Luna." The three stared at each other in silence which began to make Twilight a little nervous.
"You two are tall." This caused Twilight to face fault while the two ruler's just smiled.
Twilight stood up and bumped Reaper on the head "Don't be rude!" Reaper just rubbed his head while mumbling about mean unicorns.
"Well it's nice to meet you." Reaper smiled and raised his hand which shocked the two Princesses.
Luna was the first to recover and shook Reaper hand with her hoof. "Tis a pleasure to meet thou Reaper."
"The same speech of old English huh?" Reaper thought unaware that the Princesses could read his mind.
"Old English?" The two thought with suspicious looks at Reaper.
"Reaper how old are you? IF you don't mind me asking." Celestia asked.
"Just 17." Celsetia and Luna saw that he was not being truthful about it.
"Sister why would he lie about his age." Luna asked Celestia through their telepathic mind.
"I'm not sure Luna but..." Celestia looked into Reaper eye's as did Luna and they saw almost no life in them.
"It's like he's dead."
Reaper saw them just staring at him "Um hello." The two shook their heads. "So Reaper how did you come here?"
Reaper began to explain how he was teleported here minus the fact he saved people....and was shot.
"That is strange indeed."
Celestia nodded her head. "Twilight can we talk in the other room?" Twilight nodded her head and followed her leaving Reaper and Luna in the room alone as Spike had went upstairs to take a nap.
The two were quiet which soon became awkward silence until Reaper decided to speak.
"So I like how your mane looks like the stars." Reaper spoke trying to start a conversation.
Luna blushed "You like our mane?" Reaper nodded his head. "Sure do just like the night sky."
"You like our night?" At this Reaper became confused "Huh?"
"Didn't Twilight tell you?" At Reaper confused expression Luna explained to him what she and her did leaving Reaper with his mouth opened in shock.
"That's.......a lot to take in." Reaper spoke still shocked.
With Celestia and Twilight.
"Twilight I think he's hiding something's." Twilight nodded her head yes. "Applejack said the same thing."
"I don't think he means any harm but I want to know why he's hiding stuff from us but I won't press the issue but I won't you and the other element's bearers try to make him open up."
Twilight looked confused "I can sense sadness in him but I'm not sure."
"We will do it Princess!" Celsetia pulled Twilight into a hug.
"I know you will. Now another matter is that I want the element's and my sister to go to the bad lands."
"The bad land's?" Celestia nodded her head yes. "I received word that a tribe of diamond dog's live there and I want to know what they want which is why I am sending Luna with you....as well as Reaper."
Twilight looked at her but nodded her head. The two then walked back into the room where they smiled.
Reaper was telling Luna about his world.
Celestia coughed getting their attention.
Celestia walked over to Luna and gave her a hug and whispered into her ear but Reaper couldn't hear what she said.
"Farewell Twilight and Reaper it was a pleasure meeting you."
Reaper watched confused as Celestia left while her sister was still here.
"Um not to be rude or anything but why are you still here?"
Twilight walked over to Reaper "Reaper how do you feel like going on a adventure?"
Reaper response was to pull on a cable that Luna and Twilight didn't see which brought his scythe to him which he grabbed with his hand.
Luna was staring at his weapon never seeing one like it. Reaper smiled "When do we go?"
