Unknown POV

It was a dark, cold and illuminating night as the howl of the wind could be heard echoing through the air, bouncing off buildings and the full moon was bright red shining a crimson ray of light down on the earth. It was a Blood Moon or sometimes called Hunter’s Moon, known for being up at night during hunting season or various spiritual practices where the moon’s rays possessed powerful energy. The city with both rural and urban landscapes was dark and old showing some abandoned buildings and various destroyed construction sites where promise of revolution had died and crumbled from within. There within the centre of the district, stood a mysterious man looking out in the distance.
He was wearing a hooded knee length coat, fingerless gloves, pants and boots with greaves. It was hard to tell what the colour of his clothing was but it was mostly dark, torn and worn out bits of attire and it was difficult to directly see his face if it weren’t for the pitch black sky and the Blood Moon shining down on the city. After standing still for a few minutes he then walked off towards the street in the west route of the centre and did not speak a word. The only sounds heard from this man was heavy breathing and metallic sounds coming from his coat but not a word was said as he walked towards the west street.

“There he is! Don’t let him escape!”

The man then turned around to see a squad of policemen chasing after him with assault rifles in arms and SWAT gear for protection. The man then stood his ground towards the armed police squad as they moved towards him and aimed their guns at him without a second’s hesitation.

“Hands on your head! Do not move!” Yelled the leader of the police squad as he held his hand up to signal the others to not shoot.

The man then lifted his hood clad head up, staring at the policemen and revealing a horrifying sight. The man’s eyes were a bright red, an illuminating glowing red which startled the police officers but then caused them to load their guns and aim closer at the man.

“I said hands on your head! If you do not comply we will use lethal force!”

The man then reached into his coat trying to pull out something from its thick layers of fibre. He then pulled out a single edged short sword crafted to look like a cross between a bowie knife and a machete. The policemen then ready their guns.

“FIRE!”

The policemen opened fire on the man with a barrage of bullets heading towards his direction. The man then walked towards the bullets and suddenly vanished with a red mist causing the bullets to just fly past.

“What? Where’d he go?” Said one of the policemen startled as him and others checked for any sign of the target.

The policemen started walking towards the west street as they kept their guard up and tried to look for the man. Before they advanced any further they heard a noise.

“What’s that?” Said one of the policemen.

“I don’t know.” Said another as they began looking in the opposite direction.

As one of the policemen advanced towards the street, the man appeared right in front of him and raised his right arm in slashing motion which scared the policeman and the rest of squad. Before they could fire on the strange man, the policeman he appeared in front of starting feeling terrible pain.

“Ahh! What the fuck is happening!?”

After that it then began to happen. His torso began to slice open diagonally right towards his left shoulder blade as blood began to gush out of his chest. Before any of the other members of the squad could do anything, his upper torso had been sliced clean off along with his right arm and head which fell down to ground with a thud like the rest of his body and large puddles of blood began to form around his remains.

“Open fire!” Said the leader of the squad.

The man then moved towards the policemen and as quick as lightning had sliced off the left arm of the policeman in front of him which gusted a stream of blood from his nub on his torso and made him drop his gun. He then used his free left arm to grab the mutilated cop by his neck and threw him into a wall, smashing his skull opened and splashing his brains and blood all over the wall and ground. When one of the cops tried to shoot him he just blocked the bullets with his blade and made one ricochet into another cop’s shoulder making him drop his weapon to hold his injured shoulder.
Another member of the squad charged at the man with a Taser and fired its cables at him but the man just caught the cables in his hand and didn’t feel a thing. He then pulled in the policeman by the Taser’s cables and impaled him with his blade through the stomach. He then slid it upwards and cut his torso and head in half both exposing his organs and causing his blood and body fluids to leak out of his body. The man then walked towards the last remaining policeman who was holding his shoulder trying to relieve the pain while crouched down against a wall.

The policeman then crawled for his life by moving across the wall and out into the streets where he would be seen and possibly rescued but then the man threw his blade into the policeman’s chest, puncturing his lung causing him to spit out a puddle of blood and breath heavily. The man then approached him and looked directly into his eyes. The policeman was scared. Scared of dying and scared of this one man who took out four armed and professionally trained police officers and now his glowing red eyes met his. The man then pulled out the blade from the policeman’s lung and prepared the final blow.

“Please, don’t kill me.” Said the policeman. “I have a family.”

The man then plunged his blade into the policeman’s neck causing him to choke and vomit out blood and body fluids. The man then put his head closer to the dying policeman and began putting his blade in further.

“Your kin is of no concern to me, descended filth.” The man said in a dark, cold and distorted voice. “For all shall perish when I am done with humanity.”

He then quickly slid his blade sideways and decapitated the policeman in one blow causing his head to pop off and fall on his torso while it and his neck started spewing blood around the mutilated remains. The man then put his hand on his rugged hood and grabbed hold of the sides and took a deep breath. As he took this breath the rain then started to pour down on the city and thunder began to growl in the clouds above.

“Transcendence.”

Reyals POV

Reyals then woke up and rose his head like a zombie getting out of its grave and then looked around seeing his bedroom and furniture beside him.

“It’s was just a dream.”

Reyals then put his hand on his face and took a deep breath as he was relieved that it wasn’t real. He of course swore off killing once and for all and after finally meeting people he could see as potential friends he didn’t want to do anything that may ruin his chances of becoming a part of their group. Reyals then turned towards his desk and looked at the clock standing on top of it.

“Oh shit! I overslept!”

Reyals then jumped out of bed, went into the bathroom and took a quick shower. He then got dressed and ate his breakfast. He didn’t have time to cook something like eggs or hash browns so he just ate toast instead. He then got all of his school supply together, put it into his bag and went down to the reception past Sparklight’s desk and out the door to get to school. Reyals was never one to oversleep even when he was living in the slums and had to hear his neighbours being harassed by the local gang.

He finally reached the front of the school and got through the front door and checked his timetable.

“Son of a bitch I have maths!”

Reyals then headed to the numbered classroom on his timetable and knocked on the door and a male voice said to come in. He opened the door and walked into the class and saw a blackboard with equations written on it and the maths teacher standing in front of it. He was a tall man with grey short hair, pink skin, glasses and wore a navy blue sweater and brown pants. His name was Mr King as it said on the blackboard.

“And you are?” Said Mr King with his hands on his hips.

“Reyals Nik.” Said Reyals nervously.

“You’re late by 10 minutes.” Mr King said grumpily as he adjusted his glasses.

“Sorry it won’t happen again.”

“Strike one Mr Nik.” Said Mr King. “Get two more and you will be put in detention.”
“I understand.”

Reyals then decided to sit up the back where there was an empty seat and ironically the only seat left. So he moved down the desks as girls were eyeballing him and checking him out and some were even blowing kisses to him which made Reyals blush. He then reached the end of the row and sat down in the empty seat.

“What took you so long?” Said a nearby female voice near Reyals.

He turned to his left and there he saw the rainbow haired girl named Rainbow Dash staring at him. He then turned to the right and saw Applejack the blonde cowgirl twirling her hat with her finger.

“I guess my dreams were running the show on that part.” Reyals replied back to Rainbow Dash.

“Seems that whatever yer dreams were tellin’ ya, you needed to listen you.” Said Applejack as she put her hat back on her head.

“Like a vision?” Said Reyals with a brow raised.

“Yeah kinda.”

After math class, Reyals, Rainbow Dash and Applejack then went to their other class which was PE, Rainbow Dash’s favourite subject. The sports teacher Coach Thunder then told everyone to line up in the gym and then told the roll. Coach Thunder was a well-built man with black hair, yellow skin, blue eyes and wore a blue and yellow tracksuit and a cap that had the Wondercolts patterns on it. After taking the roll he then approached Reyals and then looked at him as took his cap off and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

“Welcome to Physical Education, Reyals Nik.” Said Coach Thunder. “Before you begin playing in this class, I need you to take a fitness test. You will be tested in strength, speed and durability and will determine how you fit in the gym.”

Coach Thunder then showed Reyals to a room with various gym equipment. He then told Reyals to go over to the Dunbar and lie down on the bench. Coach Thunder then put weights on the bar and held on to the bar

“Now when I give you the signal you start lifting.” He said to Reyals.

“Wait What?”

Before anything else happened, Reyals rose from the weights and accidentally grabbed the bar of the large weights. He then slipped and fell head first on to the ground.

“Whoa are you okay kid?” Said Coach Thunder.

“Yeah, I’m okay.” Reyals said with pain rushing through his forehead.

Reyals then stood up with the Dunbar and its weights in one hand and Coach Thunder and the other students watched in amazement.

“Um, are you sure you’re okay, Reyals?” Said Coach Thunder in shock.

“What do you mean?” Said Reyals looking at Coach Thunder and the other students.

“You’re lifting 105 lbs with one hand without dislocating your arm.”

Reyals then looked at the Dunbar and then lifted it closer to his head to look at the weight.

“That’s 105 lbs? Feels like I’m lifting a spoon or fork.”

Rainbow Dash and Applejack who were also part of the crowd watching were amazed and from what Reyals could see, annoyed judging from their facial expressions and conversation that he could hear through the class’ chatter.

“He lifted 105 lbs with one hand and no assist? What is this guy?” Said Rainbow Dash.

“Whatever he is, he broke my darn record for most weight lifted in Canterlot High.”

“Well, whatever happens he won’t break my record for fastest time in completing a lap.”

Coach Thunder then led Reyals and the class to the running track outside and told him to go onto the track to test his speed.

“Ready? And…GO!” Said Coach Thunder as he yelled for Reyals to start running.

Reyals took off faster than anyone could track with their eyes and made it to the half-way point in mere seconds. He then pulled a sharp turn on the corner and then headed to the other side of the track like a raptor chasing after its prey and then reached the other side in a few seconds only for him to then sharply turn and then dash towards the finish line. He then made it to the finish line and then stopped right on the line as he put his hands on his knees and gasped for air as he felt the anaerobic respiration inside his system taking every breath of air he had.

“6 seconds?” Said Coach Thunder as he looked at his timer with amazement.

“WHAT?!?” Rainbow Dash yelled with confusion and rage.

“He ran a 100 meter track in 6 seconds” Coach Thunder said in amazement.

“Look, I haven’t taken any drugs or ‘roids. I don’t do drugs.” Reyals said worried that the coach would accuse him of using narcotics.

“No person, even with steroids could finish a lap on a 100 meter track in 6 seconds. The body would lose too much oxygen to run as precise as you do. Whatever you have in your systems, It’s no drug or anything I’ve ever seen.”

Reyals then felt a painful urge in his stomach and then ran through the crowd of classmates along with Applejack giving him a worried look
and Rainbow Dash an angry look. He then collapsed on the floor and started vomiting out a torrent of blood and yellow fluids and coughed as he eventually passed out from exhaustion.

Rainbooms POV

Today had turned out to be strange and horrifying for Rainbow Dash, Applejack and the other girls. First Reyals, the boy they met yesterday who stood up for their sisters, was breaking their physical records of strength and speed, and then he was vomiting and passing out like a person with cancer or terminal illness. After he had passed out on the gym floor, Coach Thunder had called the nurse’s office and then carried him there for treatment. Rainbow Dash and Applejack then went to the girls to tell them what happened at the cafeteria.

“He did what?” Sunset Shimmer said as she spat out her salad.

“He lifted 105 pounds, ran the track for 6 seconds and passed out after vomitin’.” Said Applejack.

“He clearly was on steroids.” Rainbow Dash with frustration.

“What kinda ‘roids makes you puke and black out after using it?” Applejack argued with her.

“Girls, we can’t worry about what narcotics he has been taking.” Said Rarity as she ate her cherry pie. “I’m just worried about if he’s okay.”

The girls, after school, went to the nurse’s office to check up on Reyals. The office had a few doctors from the hospital to try and diagnose Reyals with any illnesses or narcotics in his system. The girls sat outside of the office as they waited for them to get in. After 20 minutes, the doctors left and the nurse let them in to see him. Before they went into the sick bay, the nurse then started taking down notes. Her name was Bandages and had pink long hair, white skin and blue eyes and wore a nurse outfit and glasses.

“So was wrong with him, Nurse Bandages?” Sunset Shimmer asked.

“Well, from what the doctors say.” Said Bandages. “He has no existing condition that would cause the accident and has not being under the effects of any drugs.”

“What? But how could he lift that much weight without struggling and run so fast?” Rainbow Dash complained.

“The only explanation the doctors could come with is that his tensile strength is much greater than a normal human.”

“Tensile?” Said Applejack confused.

“How much the body can stretch.” Bandages said as she adjusted her glasses. “The more tensile strength a person has, the more pressure a person can withstand therefore making them stronger and faster.”

The girls then looked at each other with confusion and amazement, but Rainbow Dash was still angry and upset that Reyals beat her record on the running track. Nurse Bandages then left the room to her office.

“He’s gotta be from Twilight’s world.” Said Rainbow Dash as she crossed her arms.

“What makes you think that?” Rarity asked.

“He can lift up people and objects like their feathers and run an entire track in seconds, he’s gotta be a monster from Twilight’s world.”

“But he acts like a regular person and not like Twilight when she first came here.” Said Sunset Shimmer. “And if he’s from my world, why does he deny the existence of magic?”

“Probably just a cover story to not make people suspicious.” Rainbow Dash answered. “He could have learned how to act human.”

“But from what I heard from Sunset and Twilight, the concept of live on other planets ain’t something ponies in Equestria believe in.” Applejack argued.

“We don’t believe in aliens, Rainbow Dash.” Said Sunset Shimmer. “So how can he be from my world?”

“Well that doesn’t explain how the hell he lifted 105 pounds and ran a track in 6 seconds!” Yelled Rainbow Dash.

Nurse Bandages then walked back towards the girls and smiled.

“You may see him now.”

The girls then walked into the infirmary area and found Reyals lying on one of the beds opposite a chart of the human body. He was there with his hoodie off revealing his red shirt, medallion and parts of body like his collar, biceps and forearms which were well-built and firm. The sight of these muscles made Rarity and Fluttershy blush from embarrassment. Reyals’ eyes then opened, revealing his blood red eyes, and turned to face the girls as he let out a small sneeze.

“ACHOO!”

“Bless you.” Said Sunset Shimmer.

“I guess I can’t have one day without something happening to me.” Reyals said sarcastically.

“You had us worried there, Nik.” Said Rarity. “Though these two ruffians were just jealous of your physique the whole time to care.”

“Hey!” Rainbow Dash and Applejack said angrily.

“Don’t worry about me.” Said Reyals. “I’ve been through worse.”

The girls then eyeballed him and then Rainbow Dash decided to asked him something.

“Who are you really?”

Reyals then turned away from the girls as if the question had upset him in some way. Sunset Shimmer, Applejack and Rarity then frowned at Rainbow Dash.

“Rainbow Dash! That was rude and inappropriate!” Rarity said with a frown.

“Yeah.” Said Applejack. “How dare ya ask questions like that!”

Reyals POV

The question that Rainbow Dash had asked Reyals, caused him to think deeply. Who was he? Where did he come from? How did he get here? Reyals had only remembered his life as a young sociopath but nothing about his childhood. He didn’t even know his true name or place of origin and never questioned it until now. He then looked back at the Rainbooms as they scolded Rainbow Dash for asking him that question and then sighed.

“I don’t know.”

The answer then made the girls go silent and turn to face Reyals.

“What was that?” Sunset Shimmer asked in confusion.

“I said I don’t know who I really am.”

This statement then shocked the girls and them wondering if he had Amnesia or some other condition. Rainbow Dash however, wasn’t buying it.

“What do you mean you can’t remember? You know your name and place you’re from.” Rainbow Dash said. “So how can you not know?”

“Reyals Nik isn’t my real name.” Reyals said anxiously. “Nor is Manhattan my place of birth. I don’t know anything about my past as if I never had a childhood or home.”

“So, you’re not from Equestria?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“What the fuck is Equestria? Sounds like baby shit.”

The statement made Sunset Shimmer frown a bit but she then pulled a straight face to not give off bad vibes.

“Why did you past out? How did you lift that weight? And did you run that fast?” Pinkie Pie said with fast speech.

“Pinkie Pie, enough questions okay?” Rarity said to Pinkie Pie.

“I don’t know how I do it.” Said Reyals in confusion. “I didn’t question why I was so powerful until now. But I guess not every person is as strong, fast or tough as I am.”

Rainbow Dash frowned and clench her fist after hearing Reyals say that in front of her.

Reyals then stood up and stretch his back as he yawned.

“Well I better get up and head home or else I’ll miss the latest episode of American Horror Story.”

“American Horror Story?” Sunset Shimmer asked confusingly.

The other girls the face palmed themselves due to Sunset’s limited knowledge of pop culture and television.

“An anthology horror series which focuses on a different story and moral each season.” Reyals answered to Sunset Shimmer.

“So it’s like a book series?”

Reyals then eye balled Sunset Shimmer on confusion and looked at the other girls who gave him an ‘I don’t know’ gesture.

“Sort of except its actors being filmed performing these stories and actions.”

Sunset’s eyes then widen as if the information had hit her brain like a lightning bolt on a tree.

“Oh like those moving pictures on TV?”

Reyals then raised a brow and then glanced back at the other Rainbooms who didn’t know what to say.

“What century are you from? The 17th century?”

“Well actually I’m from…”

But before Sunset Shimmer could finish her sentence, Applejack put her hand over her mouth.

“Sorry, she hasn’t watch much TV.” Applejack said nervously.

“Ok, sure yourself.” Reyals said as he walked out of the nurse’s office without a care in the world.

It seemed that Reyals was finally making progress with making friends. It almost felt like his crimes against humanity were just dreams or illusions that merely haunted him as he slept. But no matter how hard he tried to forget, he could only remember the pain and suffering he had caused others, making him think he didn’t deserve redemption. But he also remembered the faith Bronze had of him and wanted to with all his heart not to fail in the end and truly wished to become a better person.

Rainbooms POV

After Reyals left the school grounds, the Rainbooms then started to head home themselves. Sunset Shimmer was still lost in thought after what happen earlier on while Rainbow Dash still have a suspicious feeling about the new kid. Sunset Shimmer was the first one to open her mouth.

“Why didn’t you let me tell Nik that I was from Equestria?” Sunset Shimmer asked Applejack.

“Because he doesn’t need to judge ya from what ya are, but who ya are.” Applejack answered.

“But isn’t that being dishonest, Applejack?” Sunset Shimmer said. “Shouldn’t a person accept you for everything you are even if it’s strange?”

“In time you should tell him who you really are but not right now, darling.” Rarity added to the conversation.

“I guess not telling him straight away isn’t too bad of an idea.” Sunset agreed.

Rainbow Dash kept frowning as the girls walked down the streets.

“Ya still worked up, Rainbow Dash?” Applejack asked.

“I don’t trust him.” Rainbow Dash said blankly. “Right Fluttershy?”

“R-right…..” Fluttershy said nervously.

“Fluttershy!” Rarity said with shock. “You’re siding with her?”

“Umm…”

“Of course she is!” Rainbow Dash said as she crossed her arms.

“And why would that be?” Applejack asked Rainbow Dash.

“Because we’ve known each other the longest, she totally trusts me!”

“Yeah, whatever you say. Rainbow Dash.” Sunset Shimmer said with a brow raised.

Unknown POV

“So have you found him yet?” Said a calm but furious male voice.

“Oh, not only did I find him.” Said a crazy male voice. “I know where he lives.”

“And you’re sure you can kill him? I’ve hired guys in the past and nobody has ever come back alive.”

“Unlike those hitman you hire, I’m a fully trained assassin and former espionage operative for the CIA.” Said the crazy male voice. “Trust me I
know that I come back with his head.”

“You really think he can be killed?”

“Trust me, once I’m done with the False Killer, There will be nothing left.”

Author's Note
