"So, let me get this straight. You know where the Elements of Harmony are, and you're willing to help us for no reason?" Twilight asks.

"Yes, well, not really. I only want to see Nightmare pay for what she did. So no more waiting, Let's go find us those Elements!" I say just as I realize something very important, "Before I forget, there's six Elements; Honesty, Laughter, Generosity, Kindness, Loyalty, and... and... Fuck! I knew it! Gah!" I shout as I swing my left arm into a nearby bookshelf. I clutch my hand and mutter a long chain of curses in Latin so I don't have to explain what they mean.

"Now now dear, don't beat yourself up over that. I'm sure it can't hurt that much, after all, you do look tougher than most ponies do." A posh sounding voice says trying to comfort me. I was about to say something, but Twilight started to leave the library and head towards the Everfree forest. I say nothing and merely walk out and follow her.

"Now where do you two think you're going? You can't just leave and wander off into the Everfree Forest, alone, and At Night!" Rainbow Dash shouts.

"Simmer down sally, Ah'm sure that this here feller can handle himself. Now how 'bout y'all stop stallin' an go help Twilight. Ah may not know her, but Ah never leave a friend behind! That's the truth!" A farm girl says, wearing a flannel over-shirt, black undershirt, blue jeans, brown boots and gloves, and a stetson sitting atop blonde braided hair. I notice that her build is relatively pear shaped, and very muscular. The rest of the girls nod and follow her into the forest to find Twilight.'Perfect, while they go on their little tirade, I can go and make Nightmare Moon pay for harming Luna.' I think as I begin to morph with the shadows once more.

"Ugh. Why did I decide to watch over these ass hats? I don't know them, I'll outlive them, so I don't care for them, yet here I am, watching them like a guardian angel." I hiss through the shadows in fury. I may not like it, but there's definitely something special about those girls. I just can't place a finger on it. I re-manifest myself in a tree perched near a precipice, just barely able to keep the girls in sight.

"This looks like a good spot to rest, maybe now we can find out just what we're up against." As soon as Twilight said that, the entire precipice shook, and began to disintegrate where it stood.

"Applejack help! I'm slipping!" Twilight shouts over the falling rocks. 'She has magic, why can't she just use it, unless... Oh, that's not good.' I think, dematerializing into shadows and racing over towards the bottom of the precipice.

"Hang on sugar cube, Ah'm coming!" Applejack shouts as she activates her runes to hold both her and Twilight in a perpetual state of equilibrium. 'I might have to step in if this gets any worse.'

"Twi Ah need ya ta listen to me, Ok." Applejack says, "What Ah need you to do is let go. Ah promise y'all won't be hurt none." She says trying to comfort Twilight.

"What?! Are you crazy!? I'll die!" Twilight screams in a frantic state.

"No, Ah'm not crazy, an' what Ah'm tellin' ya is the honest truth. Y'all have mah word." Applejack says steadfastly, "Now, let go." Twilight nods and releases her grip on the precipice and Applejack. As she falls she begins to scream, and in a rush, I rematerialize and jump to try and catch her. Just as I'm about to reach her, Rainbow Dash and another avian; a pink haired girl, wearing a yellow sweater, green cargo jeans, light yellow sneakers, and she had beautiful emerald green eyes, swoop in and save grab Twilight just in the nick of time. That pink haired girl, her frame is one of a 'T' shape, not by much, but just enough.'

"Um Twilight, you can stop yelling. You're safe now." The pink haired girl says, barely above a whisper.

"Oh, hehehe... You can set me down now." Twilight said sheepishly. I groan and begin to refuse into the shadows, but I catch something interesting out of the corner of my eye. I halt my process and make my way towards something I thought I'd never see again.

An avian using magic." I say right next to Rainbow Dash who looks to me as if I'd just murdered her family and made her watch. "Relax, I won't tell your secret, but only if you won't tell mine." I say quietly, to which Rainbow frantically nods.

"Good, now miss?"

"Fluttershy." *squeak* The pink hair girl said, before hiding behind it as a shield of some kind.

"Right, well Fluttershy, could you give us some privacy, please? We need to discuss something important." I say and she happily obliges and flies away, "Alright look, to you I'm just a normal non magical being correct?" I ask, earning a nod. "Well, when I enter the shadows, I'm using a form of magic similar to yours, only I can do it. Well, that's true now but back when Celestia and Luna were young, my 'talent' was quite common, not so much now. Long story short, we're quite similar you and I. Heed my advice, or don't. But you've got to stick together with those like you, friends, family, loved ones, it doesn't matter. Just never ever try and play hero because you've got magic and flight on your side." I say before turning around and walking towards the head of the group.

[Lazy excuse for a fight]

"Alright you six, Nightmare will be expecting us. Twilight, you and your friends go and find the Elements of Harmony. I'll hold off Nightmare Moon as long as I can. Now, GO!" I shout as I jump over Rainbow and Fluttershy, who both were around seven feet above the ground, and merge with the darkness.

"You heard the man, let's go save the Sun!" The group gaily cheers as they begin to sprint towards the old and deteriorating castle.

"Bene fortunae mi amicae." I say before hastily entering the castle's foyer. I quickly begin my search looking for Nightmare, only to be halted by six cries of pain. I immediately rush towards the group. I eventually reach them, in what appears to be the remnants of the castle's throne room. As soon as I enter I'm greeted to the sight of the girls broken and bloodied. Twilight appeared to have the worst of it; her arms were compound fractured, bones protruding from flesh, and a bleeding skull. Yet despite that, she still stood, defiant of the Nightmare's power, and unfazed by her pain.

"Ha! You really think you can defeat me? Don't make me laugh." Nightmare says. Nightmare is Navy Blue, covered in True Blue armor, revealing her cleavage and rump in order to distract her foes. Her figure is an over hourglass, with large breasts and an equally large ass. Not willing to take this any longer I materialize behind her, and succumb to rage.

"She may NoT be AblE to, But I cAn!" I say in a pained rage. I catch a slight glimpse of myself in Nightmare's armor. My hair has turned white, my eyes from blue to red, the 'whites' to black.

"Oh, and what have we here? A Human!? I thought I'd wiped them all out, no reason to leave the deed unfinished." I say nothing except to raise my right hand.

"What do you plan to do with that? I hope you know who you're dealing with!" Before she could say anything else, there's a resounding hard crack heard throughout the throne room, echoing around the halls, sounding of death himself.

"You, you hurt me. No one may harm thine visage! Now you shall perish!" Nightmare says as she fires a large midnight beam towards me. I choose not to dodge it, and pay the price. I'm thrown into the far wall of the throne room. I stand up and create a small black sphere in my right hand.

"Hmm. Impressive but that won't do much." I throw it at her, and begin to merge with the darkness. Nightmare is hit by the Dark Pulse, and barely flinches. She begins to laugh and gloat, only for me to appear and punch her right between her avian insignias, practically grounding her for a while. To prevent her from gaining an edge, I repeatedly merge in and out of shadows and darkness; delivering an unrelenting barrage of attacks.

"ENOUGH! YOU WISH TO PLAY GAMES, THEN WE'LL PLAY!" Nightmare shouts in a rage, firing a wave of light throughout the throne room. With no shadows or darkness to shroud myself in, I'm revealed and quickly encased in Nightmare's magic. "Any last words before I snuff you for good human?"

"I have one question?" 'Time to play my ace in the hole.' I quickly begin charging the energy from the moon into the palm of my left hand.

"And what is your final question?" Nightmare asks.

"What would you do if I told you, you just lost to a human, who was holding back?" I say smirking.

"I'd kill you where you stand. Wait, what's that small orb in your hand?" Nightmare asks.

"Oh this? It's your demise." Nightmare looks at me and then bursts out laughing, "This tiny thing. Oh, That's Rich! You actually believe..." She releases me due to her laughing fit. Instead of say anything, I lean forward, and thrust the small white orb into Nightmare's chest. Before the sphere collapses, I open my right hand and point it towards Twilight and her friends. 'Make it count.' As soon as the sphere collapsed, Nightmare and I are enveloped in a large explosion. I'm thrown backwards towards the thrones, but caught by someone, and Nightmare is thrown, armor flaking off, towards the throne room entrance. She impacts the wall with enough force to breakthrough the wall and slam into the ground, creating a small crater.

"Garrett! What happened to you? You look like you went to tartarus and back!" Twilight says, worry in her voice as she sets me down.

"No time! Use the Elements!" I shout, standing up.

"But they were destroyed, we can't use them." Twilight says, "Wait how are we standing?"

"I'll tell you the second one later, but the Elements exist within you all, don't monologue it, when Lun-Nightmare Moon re-enters the room, blast her with the Elements. The group nods and each tap into their 'Harmonic Essence' creating the new Elements of Harmony.

"Where is that Human? HE WILL MEET A PAINFUL DEATH!" Nightmare says.

"I'm here, and may I say Luna, topless is a good look on you. Alright girls, Hit It!" I shout. Nightmare looks behind me at the light, and for the first time ever, shows fear. I turn as well, and see the Elements of Harmony begin to unleash their glory, at first the six are only lifted up, but then a rainbow connects them together. The rainbow that connected them together grew and shot upwards, arching and flying towards Nightmare Moon. It hits just below her and begins a swirling vortex of harmonious magic. The blast barely hits me, but the calming nature of it soothes my rage, returning me to normal.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Nightmare says as they vortex closes around her. As her cries fade, so to does the vortex, the girls land back on the ground and the Sun begins to rise.

"Now then, can I please get an explanation as for what's going on here?" Twilight asks.

"Yes, I'd like one as well. Because, I distinctly remember telling you to not interfere, or use your powers. Unless needed."

*gasp* "princess Celestia!" The girls say, bowing in the process. I ignore it and walk forwards.

"Ah yes, Princess Celestia, and here I thought you know where my loyalty lies, not with you. But with her." I say pointing towards Luna's form emerging from the rubble.

"The Elements didn't work! Get ready to use them again gi-" "If you so much as lay a finger on Luna, I will make sure you can never do magic ever again. Got it." I threaten Twilight as she enters a fighting stance.

"Alright, please don't hurt me." She relents from the silent death threat battle.

"I won't, but I need to reacquaint myself with someone whom I've gone well over 900 years without." I say walking to the (somehow) fully clothed Luna. "Come now Princess, let's take you home," I say picking Luna up in a bridle fashion, "Celestia, if you need me, you know where to find me." I say, merging with the shadows.

"Princess Celestia. Do you know why Garrett is acting that way?" Twilight asks.

"Well my student, I have some things to tell you, all of you. And they all involve a young human boy, a beautiful girl, and a jealous sister."

Author's Note

Slight nitpick; If you dislike the story, could you explain why you didn't like it? I'd greatly appreciate any and all help I can get. It helps my writing grow. I'll also be starting a poll for this story (comment voting), there are a few ways this could go down, good/evil/neutral. Vote which "path" Garrett should take. {For example; Let's take Good Now make an unspecified ending and let the others decide[by voting.] and if yous has the most votes after, oh, lets say 9 weeks, your "path" will be chosen and credited [if you allow it to be credited.]}

Brief ability list:
Shadow Walk is what it sounds like, Garrett fuses with any objects shadow, and is able to move so long as another shadow is present.
Dark Walk like the shadow walk, but with darkness (can only be done at night).
Dark Pulse a large, but weak, attack. Made of negative energy. Used to disorient opponents and cause them to let their guard down. Creates small explosion.
Lunar Impact a small (racquetball sized) sphere of lunar energy, Delivers bone shattering force and damage to opponent, also causes a large damaging explosion. The damage is then used to heal himself, or others.

Using Lunarkinesis causes Garrett's appearance to change.

Also; IE11 is only .5 seconds slower than CHROME 34 (the most recent version), and a whole 2 seconds faster than Firefox 41 (also the most recent version) goodbye slow IE meme, you shan't be missed. I'd say I did pretty good on this chapter, after all, I remade it about an hour and a half (it's what, 3:33 AM, so around 2:03 AM[eastern standard time] I work best at night anyways). If it sucks, I won't be offended. I just looked through it once and said "Eh. It's good enough."
