As our antihero Roseshield was wandering through the beautiful halls of Canterlot Castle with his head down in deep thought, he noticed that he didn't recognize some of the tiling arrangements that he had been seeing for the past few hours.
"Now where am I...?" he asked nopony in particular while looking around for something familiar to try and use as a marker for getting back to the main part of the castle. He started walking around hoping to come to a spot that looked familiar, but only finding that the more he wandered, the more lost he became. Eventually he gave up and decided to just start using hoof magic to help mark his path.
Little did he- "HEY! JUST GET ON WITH THE STORY ALREADY!" Ok, ok! Fine! Great gods, you just broke the fourth wall Rose. "So what! You need to get a move on! Just skip to the part where I stumble through the stupid mirror because of a thing chasing me that scared me or something stupid." FINE!
As Roseshield stumbled up the stairs and into the mirror, he expected to hit it and break it. Instead, he went flying THROUGH the mirror from the magical land of Equestria and into the equine free world of Equestria Girls. "End this story now." Oh come on! Quit breaking the damn wall! *sigh* Moving on!
Instead of his hooves and fur, he had cloth things covering his body. His fore legs were shorter than his hind legs. His front hooves had ten weird digits on them. Five on each.
"Where'd I end up now...?" Roseshield asked nopony in particular. As he looked around, he noticed that the other creatures of the land were trotting around on their hind legs only. So he decided to try it.
And fell back down immediately. He tried using the statue that was next to him as a kind of bar the help him stay upright. And it helped. But he knew that he couldn't bring it with him wherever he went. So he decided to try and take a few steps along the base of the statue, slowly getting used to his new form. That's when he heard a scream. And despite being so new to his form, he knew it was a scream of fear and pain and instinctively started running as he later found out, towards the sound.
It lead him to an alley with a couple of scruffy males with knives of their front hooves and walking threateningly towards three females, one with curly orange hair with yellow streaks held back by a spiked tiara, another with purple hair with blue streaks tied up and off to the sides with two sets of star baubles, and the third had light blue hair with dark blue streaks tied back and held with a simple scrunchy. The one with orange hair was unconscious with the other two staring at her limp body.
She's not dead. She's still breathing. Kill the males first. Wake up the female after. Was what went through Roseshield's mind as he barreled into one of the males, taking them both to the ground.
"Dafuq does this runt think he can do to us?!" shouted the other male as he tried to slash at where Roseshield was.
But he sensed this and rolled back instinctively, then brought one leg out and into the males gut, making him drop his knife and sending him flying into the brick wall from the force of the blow. Blood started to dribble out of that ones mouth as most of the bones in his back were broken or dust. The first male had gotten up in time to see his partner go flying. And decided to try and cut Roseshield while his leg was still extended. Bad move. Roseshield used the extended leg to swing himself around and grab the falling knife.
"You two were foolish to try and attack me..." Roseshield said in a cold and heartless voice that he mastered in his years of demon hunting back in Equestria. "Let alone those three females while I was near..."
"Dafuq are you man! Ain't nobody able to move that fucking fast!" The male yelled at him.
"Is that so...?" Roseshield said, before charging at the male, staying low to the ground and moving sporadically. When he was close he jumped up and over him, using the momentum of falling in combination to his own strength to slice straight down his spine. After his fist hit the ground, the force created a small crater, which would cause the male to fall back onto the hand that Roseshield had readied to tear out his spine.
Instead, he split the male in two, and had the bodies entrails spill all over him in a messy bloody baptism.
"Damn..." he said, getting up and brushing off some of the guts from his shoulders as he moved towards the two conscious girls who were now slowly trying to get away from him. "Please. If I had wanted to hurt any of you, I could have your heads in a second. No, what I plan on doing is swearing myself over to you," he said, pointing with the knife at the one with light blue hair.
"Wh... Why me...?" the female asked, scared for her life.
"Because that's what the auth-" SMACK! Don't break the damn wall anymore!
"Because you're the most caring. I'm bound to the blades that I use to kill. Which is why I haven't killed before. All you need to do to send me back to this monster, is give the knife back to me," he said, lightly tossing the knife to her.
Luckily he took her flinching into account and it landed nicely in her lap without cutting her or leaving a stain on her skirt.

Author's Note
Alright mares and gentlecolts! I hope y'all hated the Balance Books I got out so far because I'm doing side story lines now since only e-tec gave me a damn demon to trap in him! And the baptism thing is only because I couldn't think of something else.
