      The Gore Magala woke up from his slumber surrounded by books from his lecture from Twilight last night. They went over everything from the three types of ponies, the currency, and some of the history. After Twilight retired for the night for some wedding which was today he study until he fell asleep in this mountain of books. The Gore was a bit groggy but was able to get up which was unlike him. He normally got up with ease and was always on high alert.

     'Must be the new body.' Thought the Gore. 'Also I have to start calling myself Dark Virus since Pinkie gave me the name, though what is with this place and names?'

      Deciding not to question it he cleaned up and put all the books away. It took him about twenty minutes until he was done. After that he got out of the guest bedroom and headed to the kitchen for something to eat. Entertaining the kitchen Virus was about to grab something to eat but then a thought came to mind, what could he eat?

     'What can I eat? I doubt she would have any meat and I'm not sure if I can even eat meat or hay in that matter. She did say that dragons can eat gems and I technically was a dragon but I have a feeling that it won't turn out well.' Looking around for something he found some apples. 'That would due.' Reaching to grap one with his wingarm he grabbed it and took a bit.

     'This is do delicious! I need to know where she got this.' Thought Virus getting another one.

     "Who are you?" Asked someone. Looking to where the voice came from he found what looked like a dragon with purple scales and green spikes, nothing he recognized though he did remember that Twilight did mention him.

     "I'm Dark Virus and I'll take it you Spike?"

     "I am. I'll take it you're the one Twilight was talking about?"

     "I am."

     "She said you were a dragon."

     "Dragon is the closest thing that I can compare myself to and was until this happened." He said pointing at himself.

     "Oh, well I'm going to the wedding so I'll need that." He said as he walked over and picked up a big wrapped box that Virus some how haven't seen.

     'How did I miss that?' Thought Virus. "Need help with that?"

     "Yea." He grabbed the box with his wingarm and put it on his back. Both him and Spike walked out the door and headed to the town hall. During the walk Spike tried to break the silence.

     "So... how do you like it here?" Asked Spike.

    "Well I can't really say since I only been here for a day and even then I was at a forest fight a timber wolf or at a library learning about Equestria but so far so good." Spike was about to ask another question but it was I by a roar.

     "What was that?" Ask Virus.

     "Probably another monster attack. No big deal." Spike said with out a care which surprises Virus.

     "Why do you sound so uninterested?"

     "It happens every other week for over a year. Me and everypony else are used to it."

     "Uh... Well then..." He was taken off guard by that answer. "Can you carry this the rest of the way? I'm just going to check to see if they need help." With that he handed Spike the box and flew away.

      The main six were currently fighting the bugbear and talking about stuff. Mainly about Dark Virus.

     "So where is he now?" Asked AppleJack as she lassoed the beast.

     "Last I checked he was asleep surrounded by books. I guess he was more after I called it a night." Said Twilight while she fired a blast of magic at the bugbear.

     "Looks like you found another egghead Twilight. If I didn't know better I would guess he was your coltfriend." Teased Rainbow Dash making Twilight blush.

    "Rainbow Dash! It's not lady like to say such things about a pony you haven't met and that she just met the other day." Scoff Rarity. "Would like to meet him soon though. By the Pinkie described him he does sound like a gentlecolt."

     "He was nice and tomorrow there will be a party and it's going to be so much fun!" Pinkie exclaimed. Oh by the way Pinkie DT said hi.

-

     "Why would Diamond Tiara say hi?"

      The other DT.

     "(Gasp) Dark Thunder!?! That story is finally up! That great, I am going to go over after this!"

      For now just concentrate on this. And please don't go there.

     "Why?"

      He's currently pissed off at me.

     "What did you do?"

      I'll tell you after this.

-

     "Twilight look out!" Screamed Flutter Shy, the bugbear was right on top of Twilight but before it could attack it was blasted on its side by what looked like a black fireball. Twilight knew what that meant, before the bugbear could react Dark Virus came flying in with speed that rivaled Rainbow Dash and tackled the monster causing it to crash into a cart. Virus landed on the ground next to Twilight.

     "You alright Twilight?" Asked Virus.

     "I'm ok. Thanks for the save, again."

     "Attack by monsters two days in a row, and I thought I had monster problems where I'm from." Twilight's friends were next to her to see if she was alright but then noticed she wasn't alone.

     "Hi Dark Virus!" Said Pinkie.

     "Greetings Miss Pie."

     "So this is your friend that you were talking about? Well darling he's-" before Rarity could finish her sentence the bugbear got back up looking very pissed.

     "Introductions for later for now we have to... what is it? It looks like a bug and a bear."

     "It's a bugbear."

     "I swear, what's with this place and names?" Extending his wings at the same time as Rainbow they both took off. In there charge Rainbow Dash found out something horrible, he was faster then her. She was going to do something but  remembering the task at hand she regained focus.

      Virus made first impact on the bugbear chest with Rainbow not two seconds later on it's head causing it to fall back. Seeing this opportunity Virus fried a frenzy blast on its head doing damage and effecting it with the frenzy Virus to some extent.

      'Need a plan.' Thought Virus. He dodged a punch and flew back firing a frenzy blast at the beast. Looking back he saw a incomplete building with support beams which gave him an idea. Firing another frenzy blast at the big bear to get its attention.

     "Over here ugly!" This enraged the bugbear and it charged. Leading the beast to the building he weaved between the support beams as the bugbear charged through them breaking as it went. Virus knowing this stop suddenly and charged behind hitting the bugbear. Recovering immediately him gallup until he was out of the now broken support beams. Taking in the size of the structure he got in position.

     'Perfect.' He stood there waiting for the bugbear to get out. Twilight and her friends were coming up to him and the structure but Virus stopped them before they were too close.

      "You might want to stay behind me." He said.

     "Why exactly?" Asked Twilight summing up all theirs question.

     "You'll see in 3." The bugbear saw them as it was in the structure.

     "2." The bugbear charge at them gaining speed as it went.

     "1." The bugbear was not 3 feet away but before it could attack the structure fell on it trapping it underneath the debris.

     "And that would be 0." Virus said with a smirk.

     "Clever move Virus, but now how are we going to get it to leave?" Asked Twilight.

     "Leave that to me Twilight my dear." This causes Twilight blush a bit as her friends chuckled. "But didn't you mention that there was a wedding today?" This got a immediate reaction from everypony.

      "Oh, the dresses. Actually forget about them we're about to miss it! The is positively dreadful!" Exclaimed Rarity.

     "We have to go! Thanks for the help Virus!" Twilight said as she and her friends galloped to the wedding. After they were out of sight Virus looked around him and seeing no pony he went to the bugbear's head and exhaled his frenzy virus causing the beast to go frenzied. Getting up it stood in front of Virus.

     "You are to go into the Everfree Forest and wait for my command." The bugbear complied and made his way to the forest, meanwhile Dark Virus was smiling. 'Three Timberwolves and now a bugbear, at this rate I will have an army in quite some time.' Now he started to make his way to the wedding but something dawned on him.

     "Which way do I go exactly?"
