The Arena

Another waking morning in hell huh? Rise and shine bitch, get your ass in gear. I sit up and crack my eyes open to the darkness that's all around me. I rub my hands along my face breaking sleep from my eyes and wiping sweat away. It's been a lot hotter in the house lately. I haven't asked why, though I don't really plan onto with what happened yesterday. I've got one tournament out of a couple behind me now.

I look to my right and make out the first personal belonging Twilight has allowed me to really keep to myself. A trophy with a human on top that has my name on it along with the name of the guy I beat. And beat him a I did after the shit he gave me. The images of yesterday still play through my mind.

I grab hold of his arm as the sword goes past me. I lean back slightly and fully head-butt him sending his head back and making him lose grip with the sword. I throw the arm I'm holding to the side and hit him fast with my left fist feeling bones crack beneath my knuckles and fingers.

He goes flying and lands in a heap gargling his how own blood far away from me. My hand drips blood and I clench my right eye shut. My limbs still twitch from the amount of electricity that has been pumped through me during this entire fight. Especially when I was holding onto him. These fights are really becoming unfair.

My vision swims and jumps, but at least I know a Griffin that'll keep me up to par.

To think... with a power like that, he couldn't been used for something more practical. Instead, forced to fight to become a fake Alpha Human... This world still makes no sense to me, but at least I have type of grasp on it. It may not be big, but it's something I hold dear now. My memory may being going and coming, but I'll try to hold on to the precious bits as much as I can.

For instance, the face of the Griffin. Her name, and all that she's done for me. I'll keep those locked away in my brain where I can easily reach that information. I truly see her as becoming a great ally when the time comes.

I only wonder if I should've told her about my powers...

The examination was a near bust after all when she thought she couldn't fix it. But with a little persuasion and assurance ,I was sent on my way. And it turns out, I was right about one thing. Apparently I do heal a lot faster like I thought. I could always feel it in effect, but it was more like a nagging buzz than anything else. I had always ignored it, but I did a bit of experiment once I made it home yesterday.

I stabbed myself in the heart.

I thought I'd be dead in a pool of my blood, but low and behold how I held consciousness and watched as my chest repaired itself as well as felt my heart do the same. Strange as it is seems, I'm not longer as Human as I once was. I guess I'm now one of their Alpha Humans with my regeneration ability. Twilight was again out of her mind too. So of course she didn't notice me get the knife. Nor did she ever come check on me when I hit the floor soon after. Or at least I assume that the dragon isn't lying with what he said about her never coming to check on me. Apparently dragon boy has been running a lot more errands around while Twilight yells and kicks at nothing. Or at least I assume nothing. I still haven't gotten an answer out of her for... everything I've learned.

Speaking of learned, I've learned that I have a tendency to become very violent when emotional. I've red through more of the documents, and have come to this conclusion very quickly based on the moments I don't remember. Like one of the firsts was when I was told that I'll probably never see another Human being ever again and that if I keep up the pandering she'll make me forget who I ever was. My response was to use immense force that I had and tackle her. Of course it caught her by complete surprise since I was restrained and I managed to bruise her, really wish I remembered what her flesh feels like against my knuckles, but she quickly put me on stasis until she calmed me down.

I say her because I didn't calm down until she injected me with this XYL serum. I'm not sure what it is, and it doesn't say anything else about it. After that though, I still remained violent but it was a more tantrum than anything if I compared the two. Even know when I get angry compared to them. It's like comparing a cat to a bear. Have I really becoming unmoving?

I've learned a lot about myself that I have forgotten. Apparently I was friend with a pony before. A pony that bathed and took care of me when Twilight was way too busy with me. I don't even remember her name or what ever happened to her. All that was left there was I'll get rid of her services now and erase her presence from him. I'd probably had grown too attached to her for her likings. Or perhaps she had grown too attached to me.

If only I could remember her name... If only I could remember a lot of names. I hadn't thought about it, but I've forgotten my parents names... Or even if I had siblings or not... Pathetic... I truly am pathetic... but I'm a pathetic Alpha that's going to change this world. Oh yes. My new plan has started, and I plan to make the most of it. If Twilight doesn't want to give me the answers, I'll have to get them myself. From different sources. I've already struck a deal with Spike, a name I remember now being the Dragon's, so he's going to bring me the news from now on since Twilight doesn't use it anymore. I'll watch what's going on in the world and decide my perfect time to act and what things are really important.

Yessss.... yesss..... It's only a matter of time now Twilight and sun goddess... Celestia! Damn... I should really write these names down...

I stand up and walk to the top of the stairs that lead into the now completely destroyed lab. Sure the scraps that she left behind are still there, but everything is broken. And I don't see her trying to fix it any time soon. I open the door and walk in. That's right. The door is no longer locked because she just doesn't even care any more. I remember it now. She doesn't care what I do in this house as long as I don't go outside by myself. The next place I'm scheduled to go after today is another tournament. Against more fake Alpha's.

Poor souls that have been condemned to their fates. To face me in the ring against their wishes. At least I'll release them from their fates into a brighter tomorrow that awaits for them. It's the least I can do since I don't plan on dying now. I'll join the army, cause unrest, and release their power against the capital. We'll win, and than we'll change the world. Right after I kill the element bearers. Hopefully Discord won't stop us.

Speaking of the son of a gun. I didn't know until yesterday that apparently they've been draining magic out of him while stoned in order to bring about different creatures into their world. Creatures like me for example. Just walking around or doing something, than suddenly here, than suddenly slave, than suddenly dead or suddenly wishing to be dead. Yet, most creatures that come here aren't Human. Strange fact. Chaos doesn't work well against chaos, so Humans mainly stay off the list of things that his magic can touch. Only every so often does that chaos over power a Human's and then they end up here. Fun thought that the chaos inflicted against me just so happened to be strong enough...

I'll make sure to release him while I'm there too. I'm sure he'd like to have fun with the ponies as well. After he's regained strength of course. I'll make sure to bring up a big storm of chaos for him to feed off of.

Than again I don't know ho-

"Son of a bitch!" I yell as I kick a huge piece of metal away from me that I've just run into by accident.

I don't know how ponies can see so well in the god damn dark! Like what the hell! Are they part bat or something!

Where was my train of thoughts? Eh I'm sure I'll remember them later. For right now, I need to worry about my visit to the local Human farm. Spike has gotten me to re-know these ponies as I keep remembering and forgetting them. Applejack the Human farmer. As well as Apple farmer too. The answer depends on who's asking he explained. What that means, I don't know. But I get the feeling that she's not the most moral of ponies. If I remember right, Rainbow Dash said something about... mates? I think? Right?

Damn I need my own notes now. I'll write them down later when I can. Hopefully I don't forget.

Anyway. I got to go to her for whatever reason. I hope it's not breeding, because I might just snap all of those Human's necks if they come at me the wrong way. Along with that damn Applejack's neck too. If I can. The only thing I really remember of the group of five is that the orange and blue one are really strong. Stronger than they should be. Applejack is the orange one right? Guess I'll find out in a little bit.

Or actually... what time is it? I remember that I didn't see the moon in the sky when I woke up in the bed. Oddly enough, that didn't occur to me. So I'm guessing the morning time is about to begin, or something strange is about to happen. I hope for the other than the last. I think I need a break from all this crazy mess.

Well, since I've got time to kill, I wonder what I should do? It's not like I can make a lot of noise either. I don't wan t crazy Twilight coming in her and frying my brain before I go out. I've been thinking of changing this place into my own personal training place since I don't get trained any more. I'm pretty sure Celestia is behind my entire life, but I don't have enough information to back that up.

I stumble around in the dark a little bit longer to get the blood in my leg flowing before heading back down. I got to the documents that have been separated into a better fashion. No longer is it just unread and read. Oh no. I have it now where it's placed in unread, important information, names, and treatments. That way I can always come back and check things if something happens. though I need to decide where I'm going to keep my own notes so they don't get confused with Twilight's. I check on my sky light to see a bit of morning sun creeping up into the air.

Thank goodness too. I was actually starting to get worried there for a second. Of course that would have meant that me and Spike would get left behind while the "heroes" go out and fix it. I think that would've been better, but I'm pretty sure they'd take me along now just to get rid of things faster. I don't think I would either. And I'm pretty sure they know it as much as I do. Or at least Twilight of course.

I take a seat on the floor and begin my read.

The door to the stairway opens as I finish up my third document of the morning. I place it in the names pile and look up to see Spike looking down at me.

"Applejack is here." he says before retreating away into the dark that is the upper level.

Lucky bastard can actually see in the dark. Stupid dragons... I dare not say that to a real dragon's face. I'm pretty sure I'll only do that if I'm in a sticky situation and I'm in need of a quick and easy escape from this world. Like if I stand a certain ponies neck in front of a crowd of other ponies for instance. I'm pretty sure I'll need it.

I groan inwardly and sigh outwardly. I guess the moment of truth has finally arrived for me. I look through my skylight to see that the morning sun has just barely made it out. Early bird always gets the worm whether the worm is ready or not for the day. I wonder if I could break the birds wings. Or at least it's beak so it can't eat me whole.

Metaphors aside, I rise up from the ground and pop my back. I'm not sure how long I've been sitting there, but a great deal of that was very successful. Not too many names are mentioned or even repeated after a good bit. Most of the information I've been getting here is for what she's injected me with and my status. That's right. The reason she's been doing the monthly examination is to check my status in order to make sure I'm not dying slowly. Found that out and that legit scared me. I've been thinking she knows what she's been doing, but she's giving me way more than what you would a normal Human... Well... I guess a Beta Human. Right?

And on top of that, she wasn't even telling Celestia what was going on down here. I'm not sure what she was telling her, but I'm pretty sure it's far from the truth. Whatever. Maybe some manual labor will help me digest all of this in. I rise up the stairs with all the grace of a bear and take the others while stretching my arms. A couple of my bones pop, but other than that I feel great.

I turn to the right to see Applejack regarding me with an up and down look. She smiles and motions for me to come close to her while she reaches into her saddle.

Now... I'm not sure why, but as I approach her this funny feeling comes into the back of my head and says "Hey. You know her. You know how she is. You just need to remember and lay down some rules". But I don't know her or what to say. I guess some distant memory is acting up that I can't recall. Well. I'm pretty sure I can... I was about to say take her, but I'd honestly fight a bear first. I guess I could resist to the best of my ability if it comes down to it.

I stand before Applejack and wait. She seems to find what she wants and asks me to go to my knees. Of course I don't because fuck that. I don't have to do anything these ponies tell me to. I have my own free will and-

I drop to my knees as Applejack knocks my legs out from under me. I hit the floor hard and glare at her before she puts something over my mouth and straps it to the back of my head. I reach up to undo it, but her hooves grab my hands and I find them quickly and expertly tied in front of me. I grunt and try to rip them apart, but the thing won't break. And as I yank at them, a small amount of pain flares through my arms and hands

This wasn't how I had planned my morning or day to go. And I defiantly won't let it stay this way too.

"Welp. Now that ya know I won't take any of yer back sas, how about ya get up and follow me to the farm." Applejack says grabbing me by my hair and yanking it so I'm looking her dead in her eyes. Those terrible terrible wide eyes.

Well... first impressions are everything right? Well. I'll say she's made a very good first impression on me. I can't even open my mouth to speak because this things keeps me from speaking. I can move my mouth, but it's not enough to speak. I can still grunt in protest though. But now I'm contemplating whether I should or not since this happened all too fast. I didn't see her move or anything. If that's not scary enough, I'm pretty sure I saw something super dark when I was staring her in the eyes. If I didn't have so much will, I'd probably be shaking with fear right now.

She attaches a leash to the side of my face and yanks me forward with way much force that I was expecting. I act quickly and fall to my side and instead of face. I quickly get up and follow behind Applejack before she finds it appropriate to yank me again. Great... I'm going through Ponyville like this... Well. I guess it wouldn't be much different than most Humans here. Though some of them have ball gags in their mouths. I'm glad I have this mask thing that lets me see and breath, but not talk. Maybe it's enchanted? Maybe like how I'm pretty sure this rope was given to her by some type of god.

Speaking of supposed gods, I wonder what Celestia is up to this morning. The sun seems to be coming up much slower this morning than any other day. Maybe she's growing weaker. If so, my job is about to become a whole lot easier. I follow her through town until we reach her farm. It's quite something. I've never seen a building almost as big as the Arena before, but here it was. I can hear the sounds of some yammering that sounds pretty close to speech. Guess only Humans are in that barn. It's sad that she's currently leading me towards said farm.

"Now. Rainbow Dash told me ya deserve some type of reward and I need some work done in here since all the males I've recently had have been transferred." Oh shit... I know exactly where this is going, "Now hows about yous go in there, have some fun, and make sure the females get satisfied."

Uh-Uh. Nope. Nada. Abort abort abort. I can think of a whole lot of things to say right now, but I know none of them will convey how I feel right now. She yanks me through the barn entrance way and I'm greeted by a variety of smells. The most prominent one being a musky scent I can't identify. It stirs a fire in me, but it certainly doesn't keep me from my thoughts.

I need to figure out a way out of this. I straighten myself and look around. To my prominent right and left are areas of Human females all naked and walking around on all fours. It's so humiliating. And for what? They're nothing but for breeding Humans? Nothing more than to give birth to more Beta Humans? So they two may grow up, become slaves, and die? Why!? I know Twilight wouldn't agree with any of this, but than again Twilight is out of commission... I wonder if she knows what Applejack is trying to do with me.

I back away slowly before I feel something get stabbed into my leg. I wince and look back to see Applejack has a bored expression on her face. She simply shakes her head and says, "No need to be shy."

What the hell did she just stab into me!? It better not be... whoa...I drop to my knees. I would grab at my head too if I could.

She lays a hoof on my head and points it towards the female who's currently turned away from me. Everything in view as she walks around and eats.

"Now go have fun." She whispers into my left ear.

I want to resist. I do. I want to turn away, but my head and body won't listen to me. I don't like this. I don't want this! God damn... It feels like I've been shot with a sedative times twenty, but it's making my whole body heat up as well. I can feel myself growing bigger. And not in the size I like. My breath becomes labored and my vision swims with pink. I lose all sense of bearing after that. I know I'm going to do something I'll regret.

I heard the barn entrance close shut followed by locks. I need to regain control. I can only think it as my body does everything differently. It moves forward with intentions clear as it disrobes and frees the hardness between it's leg. I can't even call it me anymore as I feel something grab me in the back of my and try to smother me. I can't loose this battle... please... someone... stop me... It's hands grabs ahold of the female's waist. She doesn't even react. What happens next. I don't know. I roar out in anger as I fall away into darkness and away from the scene.

I come too in a place I didn't expect. Not in a pin with females around me. But in a house covered in blood with a Red stallion below me. I look at my hands to find a knife in the right and a leg in the other. I look back at the red stallion to see that it's in fact his. I can't relish in the fact that this happened. Because I wasn't the one who did it. I don't know where I am, and I'm pretty sure when ponies find out... great... I sit down and stare at the wall past the pony. Great...
