“Again.” I heard before being subjugated into another round of dark eco pumping. I screamed in pain, it was the one and only thing I could do.

“Again.” The fucker said as another round of eco was pumped into me, still not getting the desired effect he's looking for.

“Again!” Two years of being locked up and experimented on, two years worth of bottled up rage and I intend to use it.

“Dark eco injection cycle complete. Bio readings nominal and unchanged.” I heard the computer say. That makes what, two hundred times that it repeated the same results.

“Hhhppp. Nothing! I was informed that this one might be different!” I heard his voice, the voice of the stallion that I will feast upon. Cyrus Praxis, Baron Of Haven City.

“He is surprisingly resistant to your 'experiments' Baron Praxis. I fear the Dark Warrior program has failed.” I heard the griffin responsible for my capture. I felt Praxis take hold of my hair and pulled my head up

“Aaaagh! You should at least be dead with all the dark eco I've pumped into you!” Cyrus shouted at me. I chuckled dryly before he let go of my hair.

“What now? Metal Head armies are pressing their attacks. Without a new weapon, my men cannot hold them off forever!” Errol stated.

“I will not be remembered as the man who lost this city to those vile creatures!” Praxis shouted as he pointed at a scientist.

“You! Test this...things blood and see if it's compatible with that abomination.” Praxis shouted, earning a nod from the scientists before he grabbed a syringe and walked up to me.

I blacked out from all the pain and regained consciousness while the scientist from before had been replaced by a doctor with another syringe. The blood inside the thing was a dark red, darker than normal blood.

He then strapped a rubber glove on my arm, making my veins visible but he flicked them to be sure. He then injected the needle and slowly the blood inside it disappeared.

After the syringe was empty and pulled out, The doctor took off his mask and began to clean the equipment used during experimentation.

‘Even in Death, I find no peace.’ I heard a voice.

‘Hatred is in you, embrace it, use it, set us free’ The voice said as the heart monitor started beeping slowly before continuously beeped while the line was flat and everything was going dark.

The doctor saw this and grew wide eyed. He ran up to the terminal and started calling for more medical staff.

‘Hate them, kill them, ANNIHILATE THEM!’ With that said, I let go and let my rage take me.

I heard the monitor started beeping faster and faster as I started to violently contort. I felt my jaw grow along with my skull.

My legs grew as well while my feet changed completely. Growing sharp toe nails.

Speaking of sharp, my nails grew as well but larger than they did before and I noticed my skin get covered in white fur and grey scales.

I then felt something tear my prison shirt and pants but didn't look to see what it was. I felt myself grow to the point that my restraints popped off. Hopping out of the bed, I picked up the bed and threw it down below, gaining the attention of the doctor.

He looked at me in fear as I walked over to him. He walked backwards and fell, then started crawling backwards before his back hit the wall.

While I walked, I could tell that I grew to at least eight feet. I took hold off the doctor and looked at my free hand, seeing the claws grow larger.

I plunged them in his chest, then let him go, allowing only my claws to keep him suspended in the air as I did the same with my right hand.

I took a firm grip of his sides and pulled my hands apart. The claws cut through everything, bone, vein, muscle and organs.

He died only seconds after I did that and the alarms were set off.

“PRISONER 682 HAS ESCAPED, FIND AND DETAIN!” The intercom blared out. Soon the doors opened and guards swarmed in.

I let out an ear piercing roar, causing the lights in the entire sector to burst, leaving everyone in total darkness.

“Did you see that?” I heard a guard break the silence.

“Was that..” Another one said.

“Wait a second, let me just...Aha, Let there...be...oh.” The third guard said, flashing his light around before finding me. He looked up until he saw my face.

“DiE.” I said as I pounded both my fists onto the ground, sending a massive shockwave towards the guards, causing them to get hit by the wave and sent to the wall. Some died on impact while others stood up.

“DiE.” I said, my voice less contorted. I grabbed one with my tail, the one I just realized that I have and pulled the guard close for me to bite his head off.

‘FEAST UPON THEM!’ The voice from earlier shouted and that's what I did. Eating one of the guards in front of the others though I'm sure they could only see through the victims flashlight.

Ripping the guard in half and throwing the bottom half down below, I finished eating and proceeded to swiftly kill the guards in my way.

‘Die'

“Die.”

‘DIE!'

With that in mind, I let out a powerful roar that echoed through the halls and cells.

Speaking of which. Turning around and smashing the cell control panels, I then turned to the vents and crawled through, hearing the shouts of the inmates as they climbed up from their holding cells.

Everfree Castle, Under section
Wednesday, 11:44 A.M.

I woke up, jolting into a sitting position and buried my face in my hands, feeling the sweat of my brow.

‘I tried to fight those memories back, one must've gotten through.’ Hyde said as I wiped away the sweat.

“It's fine, we both had our reason in doing what we've done. Nothing can change that.” I said as I got up and stretched. I looked over to a nearby clock and saw that it was almost noon.

“Damn.” I sighed out as I walked up to the dresser and pulled out a pair of camo jeans and a forest green tank top.

I walked out of my room and made my way towards my workshop. I passed by Nyx’s room and saw Nyx talking with the griffiness.

The griffiness saw me and got on one knee, muttering apologies.

“Umm, what are you doing?” I asked her.

“Begging for your forgiveness. I have spoken to a member of your family without your consent.” She answered.

“And?” I asked her.

“What?” She asked me as she stood up and looked at me.

“So what if you were talking to Nyx, as long as she's enjoying the conversation, I'm fine with it but make her cry, then we'll talk.” I said, letting Hyde’s voice put emphasis on talk. It then that I never found out her name.

“Hey, I know this sound rude and all but you never told me your name.” I said to the griffiness.

“Forgive me for my mistake, my lord. My name's Chara Zin.” She said. At the mention of Chara, I could sense a chill up my spine as I was reminded about something back home.

“But most people call me Zin.” I was brought back to reality as Chara said that.

“Cool, it's nice to meet you.” I said with a bow of my head.

“Anyway Nyx, if you need me, I'll be in my workshop and as for you.” I said to Nyx before moving to look at Chara. “I expect you and your friend to be on time this afternoon in the forest.” I said to her before walking towards my workshop.

1:12 P.M.

‘Working with an empty stomach? Yeah, that was THE worst decision you've ever made.’ Hyde said as I attached a leg to the center piece of the mech.

“Shut up.” I said with a yawn in between. But I knew he was right about my idiocy.

“I just...can't think straight.” I said, another loud yawn. I rubbed me left eye with my right hand.

‘Why? Is it the mare you've been hanging out with lately, eh eh?’ Hyde said. I rolled my eyes and threw a busted wrench to the wall.

“That was my favorite one.” I muttered to myself as I reached to my left and grabbed another wrench.

As I continued working on the right leg, I heard a few knocks behind me. I looked back and saw Nyx holding a plate as she walked up to me.

“I thought you were hungry, so I made you this.” She said and without looking, I took hold of what she made for me and was about to take a bite but stopped as I saw what it was.

A heart shaped sandwich with the word Dad written in butter. I looked at Nyx and embraced her.

“Thanks, sweetie. I love it.” I said before taking a bite. I was surprised to taste cooked ham, melted cheese and..bacon bits!? I looked at Nyx in surprise as she smiled at me.

“Chara helped with telling me what you might've liked.” She said. I grabbed the plate and placed the sandwich on it before placing it on top of a toolbox.

I then looked back at Nyx and gently picked her up.

“Thank you.” I said to her as I kissed her mane repeatedly, earning a few giggles from the filly.

3:55 P.M.

It's almost three hours since I left the workshop with Nyx. I arrived at a clearing in the forest and found Chara and her friend, Seckun Ground Pounder.

If I remember correctly, the family Ground Pounder was around at the time of the War of the World and for their services in protecting the wounded and treating them during the attack on Spargus they were given Noble statuses.

Though during one of my lessons, the sun was blocked by a dark cloud. I knew it wasn't an actual cloud from the way the air smelled. I had dismissed both Chara and Seckun, then headed into the forest to find the source of the ashes.

Nyx wanted to come along, to my dismay. I wanted to disagree with her but she said she wouldn't leave no matter what I said.

So heading towards a mountain that spew out ashes every thirty minutes and once we arrived, we saw that it was an anthropomorphic Red Dragon.

He noticed us but set his eyes on me with a grunt.

“Took you long enough.” He said to me. I looked up to meet his gaze, seeing that he was at least ten feet. He had to crouch so his head wouldn't hit the top of the cave.

“Dad, do you know him?” I heard Nyx ask me as she hid behind me.

“Child, we never met in our lives but the Great Ones requested me to test your Father’s might against me. For I am Sahqo Mulaag, Master of Red.” The Drake declared with a loud tone.

“Of Red? You mean Red eco?” I asked him, earning a nod from The Great Drake.

“You must best me in a fight. No weapons.” He said as he got into a fighting position. I looked back at Nyx.

“You need to go. I have a feeling that Twilight and her friends will be here any moment and I'd like you to warn them to not interfere.” I said to her. She nodded and flew off.

I looked back at the Great Drake in front of me.

“An old fashioned brawl, I like the sound of that but I'm going to make things fair.” I said, letting myself turn into the Dark Drake. Hyde and I came to an agreement of sorts a long time ago.

Feeling my clothes tear apart from the change. My skin turned grey as a few white scales grew around my body.

Wings grew out of my back and a tail tore my pants off. My skull formed into a dragon's skull and horns grew out of the top of my head.

Nails growing into claws, sparks of dark eco coursed through my hands up to my shoulders.

Once the change finished, I came up to his chin. The Great Drake struck first, hitting me square in the chest.

I staggered backwards before taking hold of his arm and pulled him closer to me. Once he was close enough, I placed my hand over his face and planted his face into the cave wall.

I repeated the same attack before he planted his hands firmly onto the walls and pushed. He then whipped his head back, scratching my cheek with his jagged horn and leaving a large gash.

“Bad call.” I said, gripping his horn and tore it off, receiving a roar of pain from the Great Drake. He elbowed me repeatedly and during each hit, I slowly lost my grip and he pushed me away.

He grabbed my right leg with his tail and pulled it, making me trip. He then pinned me down onto the floor and started pounding his fists at me.

Taking hold of both his fists, I decided to give him a taste of dark eco and sent a large jolt of Dark eco into his hands. He yelled in pain before bashing head against mine.

Not letting him get the best of me, I pulled my legs up and planted my feet on his torso and pushed him off.

As his back hit the cave wall, I stood up and ran up to him, tackling through the wall and creating a large dent in said wall.

I then started repeatedly punching his stomach but was then distracted by a red glow coming from his hands before he easily pushed me back.

He then grabbed my hand and pulled hard, he moved out of the and made me crash into the wall. He did this three times before I blinded him with a bit of light eco.

All of a sudden I felt, stronger. Using my new found strength, i pinned him onto the wall with his right behind his back. I pushed it farther up his back.

“Yield, I yield!” I heard him. Without warning, I felt a strong fiery sensation coming from my chest. I looked down and saw that one of the seals gained a fiery red color.

Another that I felt is that my body was reverting back to normal. I love these clothes, they don't tear apart completely.

Once I was reverted back to normal, I heard the voiced of the mane six and Nyx getting closer to the cave. I looked at the Great Drake as he sat on a rocky throne.

I was shocked when he slowly turned into stone and not only that, while be turned into stone, precursor armor appeared on him.

Now that I got my bearings, I felt a tidal wave of exhaustion hit me like a brick wall. I couldn't keep myself up and fell onto the floor out cold.
