Rise of the Elementals

Alex watched as the pony soldiers ran as fast as they could.

He could hear Daniel groan in anxiety behind him.

"Fuck it, Alex. I'm not leaving without you!" Daniel said and grabbed his left wrist.

Alex grabbed Daniel's arm with his left hand. And before he could react Alex punched him in the face with a closed fist.

"Look, don't touch." Alex snarled.

"Ouch, fuck! You'll regret that!" Daniel said and a large pillar of stone shot up from the ground and smashed into Alex's face.

He was caught completely off guard, and he felt the rage boil within him.

"Oh, now you've done it!" He said angrily as his fists were lit on fire and a shockwave of fire exploded from his entire body.

Daniel fell backwards as he felt his skin get burnt by his burning clothes. He quickly encased himself in a tight rock shell and sank into the ground.

"Yeah, you better run!" Alex said mockingly as he put out the fire around his hands and wrists.

He saw Twilight and Fluttershy come running out from the hospital. He turned towards them with a cold expression on his face.

"Oh dear Celestia, are you alright?" Fluttershy asked.

"Couldn't be better." He snarled angrily.

The ponies couldn't understand why he was so angry. They couldn't think of anything they'd done to offend him.

"Alex, what's wrong?" Twilight asked.

Behind you... He heard the dark voice echo in his head, and he felt the ground shake lightly. He took a step to the side as the ground where he had just been standing collapsed on itself and a large rock came flying from the ground behind him. It missed him. But Fluttershy wasn't quick enough to get out of it's way, and was hit straight on.

"It's not nice to shoot a man in the back." Alex said slowly.

"It's not very polite to refuse and invitation." He head Daniel's voice from behind him.

Alex laughed and turned around. He saw Daniel standing on a flat rock hovering several meters over the ground. And four large rock spikes rotated around him.

"Do you see now, Alex? If you would just come with me, your powers can become unbeatable. You'll be a god!" Daniel said.

Alex laughed and looked at him with anger in his eyes.

"God, huh? Pathetic." He said as his entire body lit on fire.

He looked like a extremely compressed inferno. He smiled as he saw the surprised look on Daniel's face.

"H-how? Th-that's impossible!" Daniel shouted. Right before Alex shot a stream of uncontrollable fire towards him.

Daniel flew almost ten meters backwards as the fire hit him. He landed on the ground with a heavy thud, and Alex smiled wickedly.

Alex shot a quick burst of fire backwards, which propelled quickly him to Daniel.

"Time's up." Alex said and grabbed Daniel's wrists with his flaming hands. His hands burned all the way into Daniel's flesh.

"What's wrong, Powerboy? Can't god escape the weak little human? Pfft, please." Alex mocked him.

Alex lifted him into the air, but Daniel quickly fell to the ground as Alex's hands had managed to burn though his entire wrists.

Daniel fell down with a thud and his hands landed next to him.

Alex laughed mockingly and his fire went out. He grabbed Daniel's throat and lifted him into the air.

"Y-you don't have the guts!" Daniel said as he slowly choked in Alex's grip. Alex just laughed at his futile try to discourage him.

"Daniel Daniel Daniel. You don't know who I am, do you?" Alex asked with a soft voice.

"Sho-"

"Shut up!" Alex shouted as Daniel began to speak.

"Look at me." He said stared into Daniel's eyes.

"I do-... Oh shit. You're the guy from the news! Alex Hunt, the se-" Daniel said, before Alex crushed his throat.

"I know who I am."

Alex turned his attention towards the two ponies who had come out after him. He saw Twilight hunched over Fluttershy, who had a big pool of blood beside her.

Let them be. She is of no use to either of us. He heard the voice say.

"I ain't listening to your bullshit. You can always use a favor or two." Alex said before jogging towards the ponies.

He saw a deep flesh wound in Fluttershy's side, and he was almost embarrassed he hadn't caused it himself.

"Uhh, can I help?" He asked awkwardly.

Twilight didn't answer him, and just moments later the same doctor and nurse who he had met earlier came running out from the hospital.

"Oh dear Celestia. Let's take her inside." Star Light said and they rushed her inside again.

Alex stood in silence outside.

"Well fuck. What do I do now?" He asked himself.

Go! Come to me. You have no use of these ponies. They will only get in your way. He heard the voice in his head say.

"Didn't I sa-... Wait a minute. You're the one that brought me here, right?" Alex said suspiciously.

Yes

"And you told Daniel about me?"

He did not know 'who' you were. Only your name and physical position.

"That's far too much!.. And you only have a physical position." Alex said angrily.

He heard a low rumble in his head, which he assumed was the voice trying to laugh.

Alex... You have much to learn. For your entire life I have trained you. Yet you know nothing. The voice said.

"What the hell's that supposed to mean?" Alex asked in irritated confusion.

Your bloodlust is your ticket to power. Use it, and you will be unstoppable.

"That didn't answer my question."

Do my bidding, Alex. Or you will die. The voice snarled and slowly faded.

"... Well that escalated quickly."
