Chapter 1- A little about myself

My name is Pixel Fire and I’m a Monster hunter. Not much to say really, but it is a family business. Now before I continue why not I get to explaining my family tree, mothers side of course, now my family is from trottingham a nice place to live but it also is famous for its many monsters and legends like that. My great maybe time 5 great grandpa Pilot Light he started the business. Now he went by feww rules keep to the shadows, kill when necessary, don't harm civilians, be efficient don't waste time because time my friend is precious, and the number one rule that has never been broken throughout all of my family NEVER and I repeat NEVER get bitten and become a monster.

Now my family line continues with monster hunter blood until you get to me but i'm not there yet my mother's name is candlestick and as you can guess she's a monster hunter. My father on the other hoof comes from a long line of artisans and inventors. Thats where we come in it was my sister who was born first then me a year later we moved out of trottingham when I was 7. We moved into Ponyville-my sister and mother kept their accent I tried to adapt but every now and then I slip into my accent. Then my brother was born.

We each got cutie marks related to our father's family my brother, Fire Spark, got his as a magic scribe meaning he created his own magic, my sister, Dancing Flame, got hers in the arts meaning she was good at painting dancing and the like, I got mine in inventing. Yea. That's it. But the three of us are professional monster hunters.

My cutie mark came with some complications in the sense that I lost one of my wings-oh that reminds me I was a pegasus bort to 2 unicorns and both unicorn siblings. I soon later replaced it with a metal wing painted a matte black with metal wing blades forged out of silver. I could still fly with it but not as fast, I also lost my right arm when a dying lycan almost bit me, it's an embarrassing story so I won't get into the details too much but it's also now a cybernetic. You have no idea how much that helps me now I don't have to use the stupid mouth grip for my pistol and my mouth for my sword because I have 5 metallic finger like appendages that are based of of a Diamond dog and a griffin.

Now that your all cought up Lets get to the story.

Chapter 2: The Change

It was a normal day-or as normal as it can be when all you have for company are your siblings and your underneath canterlot down in the caves which have been made your home for the last 3 years. I sat at the dinner table working and oiling the slide of my pistol with a cup of coffee in front of me,while my brother sat opposite me waxing the string on his bow a cup of tea in his magical grip. He broke the silence first “What is so great about that thing anyway” he said to me whilst gesturing toward my gun “well it has better precision better firing speed and can load quicker than that old b-” he cut off my explanation there “don’t call it old” he growled to me as he pointed the bow at me with no arrow. “Old old old old old” I taunted at him whilst I slowly took out a full magazine in my left hoof and held the 13mm bore pistol in his direction with my right. Out of the corner of my eye i saw an arrow slowly move in the glow of his magic as he barred his teeth and said “That's it!” instantly the room erupted in organized chaos I quickly slammed the magazine home, while I saw the arrow nocked on the string he fired first the arrow turning a sharp right turn mid air streaking towards me I dodged easily doing a back flip to avoid the projectile which changed cores again leaving a blue trail in its wake. As the arrow raced toward me I fired the silver bullet having more speed and splitting the arrow down the middle my ears were still ringing by the time i let off another shot. he let of 2 more arrows he kept letting them off as I dashed around the room arrows impacting the walls as i let of shot after shot at him as he slyly dodged the bullets heading for him. Then I was in his face gun to his head as his magic reached into the quiver to draw another arrow but finding nothing I smiled as i pulled the trigger and the gun let out an audible click as the hammer fell on an empty chamber. The gun was smacked out of my grip not by him but by a black crossbow bolt both our eyes widened as a trottingham accented unicorn mare trotted into the room mom’s old crossbow, Swift Justice, in her magical grasp “I win. That means you two better get started on the dishes” she said almost sing song like, as she took a seat at the table brushing away a few spent casing setting down Swift Justice as she picked up my coffee and taking a sip “oh and pixel not so much sugar next time, I'm trying to watch my figure” Flame called to me as she picked up the paper why does she have to win every morning I thought sadly to myself.

Now you might think think that we are all insane but with us all being trained professionals and having been in the family business for about 3 years now our morning routine went about the same way Spark would strike up a conversation and after a while the two of us would fight very rarely one of us coming out on top and forcing the other two to do the dishes, but when it was a tie like that my sister just comes to pick up where we left off often times having the upper hoof against us once the two of us thought of teaming up against her that went badly. I winced as I thought of the memory it always ends up badly for the two of us even as kids. that's how i got the scar over my right eye in the first place. I thought to myself touching it, i'm just glad I did not go blind from a stick hit so hard, but it created a nasty scratch and an even nastier scar.

…….

After the dishes were done we got dressed- or Spark and I got dressed. I stretched as i put on black kevlar leggings with metal bottoms, my great grandpa Light’s long black duster, my left wing (Don't ask why I have it off) my facial scarf, glasses and large black hat. I strolled out head low as the tip of my fire orange muzzle shown out of the shadows a smirk on it. My brother strolled out looking completely different. He had combed his orange and yellow striped mane and was wearing a suit with white shirt that had a tie, basically imagine james bond with  white coat yellow and orange striped mane, and  also a unicorn and you have the picture.

I shook my head as I looked at him taking off my hat brushing my unruly white mane with and orange fore leg “what's the event Bond” I tested “Oh yeah and where's the alleyway where you're going to murder me Mr. cape” Flame retorted from behind me as I put on my hat again “really you should at least wear something” I complained to her “We have been over this already I don't need to look inconspicuous because I have a naturally dark coat all I need's a hat, and i'm good”  true her coat was naturally black and all she had to do to stay to the shadows was put on a mask, her hat, and blot out her cutie mark. the reason the two of us don't do that is because I have a freaking fire orange coat with vibrant white mane, and Spark is a dull white with a orange and yellow striped mane

“fine. what's the plan for today sis” I said nonchalantly “hmm well I did pick up on some ponies acting suspicious ” “oh” Spark spoke up this time” “ one was red with black mane and pen and pencil cutie mark the other is white with a black mane and tail with bits at his cutie mark,booth had long coats with hoof claws, at least that's what I could see with my scope” she said. “Did yo-” “of course brother of mine I did they have reservations for lunch” “alrighty then Pixel and I will take them on after lunch and if they try to run there's a tall building next door, got that Flame” Spark planned as we walked towards the “door”.

…..

“I got north end you got south” I said into the little sound transmitter that was in my ear “roger roger” said Spark. I crossed into the alleyway and saw them a mare and a stallion the exact description that my sis gave “Ready?” Spark said “as i’ll ever be” I snorted. I reached up with my right hoof and drew the hilt of my white steel sword. I was used to walking on 3 legs science i had done it for about a year before the cybernetics. I walked deeper and purposely bumped into the stallion, as i did the glowing white blade extended and went straight through his chest. Before it could go any further i stopped and retracted the blade back into the hilt. He convulsed about to let out a scream when I shoved my metal hoof in his mouth and knocked him out with the other The mare stopped seeing her coltfriend on the ground near death, she bared her teeth at me before her coat grew longer and she let out a feral growl at me a lunged at me nothing but rage burning in her eyes. There was the pinging of a string and an arrow with a silver tip appeared in the back of her head. I groaned and nodded to him. brushing the blood off my hoof in an instant while my brother held his bow in his magical grasp. with swiftness we left the alleyway

“that went differently” Spark said to me “huh” I was of course lost in my thoughts “oh Pixel,Flame i will be out of the house tonight i will be on a date” I snorted at his third attempt to get a mare friend. “Oh is it with mother again” Flame replied smugly “I-I-” came sparks reply “and Pixel you're quite the charmer why don't you try. you have to someday” I groaned. It was not the first time the two of them tried to persuade me to get a marefriend. “no” I said flatly while ducking into a cafe and sitting a a table and turning off my ear piece to cut off the speech Flame was about to give me. I ordered a coffee and sat staring at canterlot while time passed around me. Around noon a voice spoke up “is this seat open” it asked shyly I turned to see a midnight blue mare with a black mane staring at me with a blush on her face. she looked. cute- wait did I just think that “um no it's not” I replied What are you saying. My subconscious shouted at me. She took the seat across me and held out a hoof. “My name is Midnight Shadow” Said the beautiful mare stop that I shouted at myself on the inside.  “well miss Shadow my name is Pixel Fire” I said while giving a bow. the blush on her face increased in intensity. I smiled.

In the background I could hear snickers from a table across from mine seeing 3 other mares there trying to hide their snickers while only giving us few glances. And across the street I could see- oh crap - Fire Spark, trying really hard not to laugh his ass of while staring at me. Then it hit me I forgot to turn off the microphone of the little device that we used to communicate. I'm so going to be out of our ‘house’ for the rest of tonight and probably stay in a motel somewhere. “my friends made me do it” she said sheepishly. Trying to make herself as small as possible. “it's fine” I said quickly “I like you too” that's when I shoved a hoof in my mouth blushing profusely. I glared daggers across the street as I unbuckled my back hind leg cover said “excuse me” to Midnight who looked like she was still trying to process what I said and threw the cover as hard as i could with my right hoof at my brother who is snow trying not to fall out of his seat the kevlar struck him dead in the head causing him to fall out of his seat and glare at me while nursing his injured head.

“Sorry about tha-” I was cut off as my lips met hers instantly. My eyes widened at the violation of personal space her eyes were the size of dinner plates as she pulled away quickly said “ohmygoshimsosorryIjustgotcoughtupinthemoment” and galloped away. Leaving me puzzled and with a silly look on my face “well then” I said putting back on my hat and walking away as the sun began to set.

………..

I was aimlessly wandering canterlot park on that night taking the light of luna's full moon thinking about my day and how it had gone. When there was a rustling of the bush beside me I did not think anything of it until a growl was all the warning i got befor an object lunged at me and wrapped its teeth around my hind leg now this would not have been a problem because i could have had leg covers on it just so happens to be the leg which cover that I threw at my brother earlier. I panicked and bucked the now clearly appeared to be lycan in the face hard. Hard enough to knock it out  I wrapped some bandages around by back leg while I was saying in my head SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT! I'm the first one in about lets see of 50 years of the business to get bitten by a lycan! After I finish bandaging myself up and get up feeling rage start to boil. I pulled out my pistol,placed in a fresh clip and pulled back the slide chambering a round and holding it up to the unconscious creatures head anger taking hold about to pull the trigger, when I paused. Looking at the midnight blue coat with dark mane. No it can't be. My eyes widened and I dropped my pistol as I saw the same pretty mare, despite the longer and more scraggly coat, that kissed me earlier. I knelt down and planted a firm kiss on Midnights lips “oh you are lucky” I said exasperated staring down at her unconscious form and panicked what am I going to do! I slapped myself thinking  what would mom do well she would kill her but that's beside the point. She would find where she lives and bring her home. Just as I was reaching for the saddlebags, I heard a voice call “Midnight? where are you” she called while stepping over the bush. she froze when she saw me while she stared and me next to Midnight I duly noted her fangs and crimson red eyes, she spoke first “Hey you're the stallion from earlier, the one that she was into”she trailed off as she saw the gun a few feet from me and her eyes widened “Y-You're one o-of t-the Monster Hunters!” she shouted. But before she could react I grabbed my gun and planted two shots in her head.as she slumped to the ground, I could hear more voices called out the shot. Shit! soon this place will be a little bit more than I can handle in my current state. With that I hauled Midnight on my back slid my invisibility talisman over my neck spread my wings and took off.

Prologue

I stand there in the center of the ballroom, at the grand galloping gala. My coat is shaggy and long my teeth are sharp, I have hoof claws- well on 3 of my 4 hooves hence the metal right foreleg- my hearing and other senses are enhanced allowing me to pick up on the many ponies side conversations around me. But they didn't see any of that, I was wearing my black duster with large black hat, and sunglasses had a black cloth pulled over my muzzle, and just incase wore black metal leggings-don’t judge it’s just my style-and i had my head low anyway.

But the onlookers didn't have their attention on me-no siree they had their attention on the stage where a mare with a grey coat that was shaggy and just as long as mine. Yep she came unprepared and she now used her cello for as much cover as she could get.

I looked the other way and saw the many ponies googly eyed staring at Luna, whom which now had red eyes and sharp k-9’s. I kept looking keeping to myself as I saw vampires lycans and the like transforming before me, the whole time thinking what brought this upon us and how could have I failed.. Everypony.
