April 17th. Comic con was in town in Los Angeles, California, and people from all over the United States was arriving. From Furries to Bronies, and from comic collectors to video game nerds. One individual had arrived in a rather unique cosplay. His name was Matthew Jackson, a 21 year old senior from the University of Tennessee. He stood at six feet, three inches tall, his skin color couldn't be seen clearly because of the face paint and the costume he was wearing. Matthew was cosplaying as Matt Cordell from Maniac Cop 2. Matthew loved it as it was the film that introduced him to horror. Anyways, his hair was dyed and styled to look like Cordell's from the second movie as was the face paint, while the uniform looked like the one from the first movie. But one thing was missing to complete his costume. Cordell's badge. Without it people would just assume he was cosplaying as an ordinary zombie policeman. Sighing Matthew was about to head inside when a strange voice caught his attention.
"Psst. Hey, stranger."
Matthew then looked to his left to see someone dressed as the merchant from Resident Evil 4.
"Howdy, wanna buy this stranger?" He asked extending out his right arm
In his right had was none other than the last piece Matthew was needing for his Matt Cordell cosplay, Matt Cordell's badge from the first movie.
"Yeah, how much?" Matthew asked
"Two dollars. And I'll even throw this in as a bonus." The Merchant said extending his left arm
In his left hand he was holding onto a belt, but it was no ordinary belt. It was the same belt Matt Cordell had from Maniac Cop 1 and it had everything on it from the movie as well. Matthew's mind was just blown, he hadn't realized it sooner, but he noticed he didn't have Cordell's gear.
"Deal!" Matthew said taking two dollars out of his pocket
He then took the badge and placed it on the right spot from the movie before giving the Merchant the two dollars and taking the belt and placing it around the correct area seen in the movie. Then Matthew got curious. He took out the billy club and looked at it. The big question going through his mind was if there was a hidden blade on it just like in the movies. He then took both his hands and with his right hand pulled on the bottom of the billy club revealing the hidden blade. Matthew suddenly felt like as if he jizzed in his pants. Then he suddenly felt tired. His eyes became very heavy, and the next thing he knew, he was out like a fiddle.
Equestria
Miss Cheerilee was taking her class on a field trip to the Canterlot gardens again. This time there was a new attraction that had apparently been hidden away inside Celestia's castle for a very long time, and now for the first time it was out for everyone to see. She and her class were being lead by a tour guide to the exact location as, said earlier, it was brand new so the only one as of now who knew of its location was the tour guides. Soon they arrived, but they weren't alone. There was reporters there as well as the princesses, and it sounded like the reporters were asking a lot of questions regarding the new attraction.
"Everypony please calm down!" Celestia said, "Look I know you're all confused, but listen closely and I will explain this piece of forgotten history."
"This is so exciting!" Twilight said to Cadence, "I've never seen this statue before! She managed to keep it hidden even from me!"
"Same here Twilight." Cadence replied back, "It must be very important."
Cheerilee and her class soon got behind the reporters deciding to listen in on this new piece of history.
"Now be on your best behavior children." Cheerilee said to the foals, "Princess Celestia is about to unvail a new piece of Equestrian history that we've never heard of before."
"Yes miss Cheerilee." The foals replied
"Everypony." Celestia said getting everyone's attention, "This statue is of Matt Cordell. An immortal being who I can call Equestria's first policeman."
The statue in question had Matt Cordell, really Matthew Jackson, in a pose of him pulling out his hidden blade in the billy club.
"He was around back when me and Luna were foals and our mother was still around." Celestia continued, "When crime happened in Equestria he was onto the scene. Him, me, and Luna, we were very close friends. He protected us, and we protected him from those who rejected him and called him a freak."
"What happened that forced you to turn him into a statue?" a female reporter asked
"When Discord arrived he tried to turn Matt against Equestria. But it was an act. Matt lured him into a false state of security and delt a blow good enough to let me and my sister stop Discord with the elements of harmony." Celestia explained, "But then, after he helped us in the battle against Sombra, something changed."
"What changed?" Twilight asked
"Matt had become more anger prone, he lashed out at the guard sometimes for little to no reason. But then one day me and my sister found out why. Our mother had told him that he was accidentally summoned here as a result of a spell from Starswirll the bearded gone wrong, and that he could never return. Then one day he snapped."
"Snapped?" Cheerilee asked
"He, he, he."
Celestia looked to be in tears.
"Her murdered our own mother right in front of our own faces!" she said with tears in her eyes.
Those in attendance except for Luna gasped in utter shock. Luna was about to tear up as well. The look on her mother's face when she was killed still plagued her dreams and visions to this day.
"But, but he didn't stop there, he killed some of the guard, and civilians, and then.....Starswirll."
"WHAT?!" Twilight shouted shock.
"But the history books say he died of food poisoning!" A reporter said
"That's what we wanted you to believe. We didn't think it was time for the ponies to know the tragic truth." Celestia admitted wiping away her tears, "But, Starswirll wasn't his last target."
"Who was?!" Another reporter asked
"Me and Luna." Celestia said
"But Why?" Cadence asked, "I thought he was close friends with you and Luna?"
"He no longer saw us as friends, he called us liars." Celestia said, "After he killed Starswirll and set his eyes on us he called us liars for holding back the truth from him, because in truth, we knew he could never return to his home all along. We wanted to apologize to him, but he wouldn't accept and tried to kill us. We were able to stop him before he could get a chance. This statue of him is the result of not the Elements of Harmony, but actual encasing in cement. Quick drying as well with a spell me and Luna used. He's been encased in this stone for 1,000 years."
"But why didn't the elements work?" A reporter asked
"That is a question neither me nor Luna knows the answer to." Celestia said, "When we used them on Matt, it just didn't work at all. He had no effects. It just appeared to make him angrier."
"Did Equestria ever heal from the event?" A stallion reporter asked
"Unfortunately, the damage had been done. Bodies were everywhere, and for a long time the whole of Equestria was in a state of mourning the loss of those killed in Matt's rage."
"How high was said body count?" A female reporter asked
"I don't remember." Celestia said, "I think it was around twenty to twenty-five."
Twilight only whistled in amazement and horror.
"It is now that I believe it is finally time to no longer keep away the secret of Matt Cordell and lie about the past. But instead let other ponies know about him in case he was to ever brake free."
"But why keep it a secret for so long?" A reporter asked
"Because,at the time ponies wanted to forget about him. They wanted to keep his vile acts out of memrie for a long time ot come. so much so that he was written out of history and as of yesterday long forgoten about. Not even told as a story like Nightmare Moon. That is until now." Celestia said.
"Is Matt Cordell gonna be remaining here in the Canterlot Gardens, if so, where is he gonna be kept?"
"He is going to be kept with my ex-student Twilight Sparkle at her castle." Celestia answered, "I feel safe enough to know that there he won't escape so easily."
While all that was going on Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon decided to chat with their new friends the CMC about the whole thing.
"Can you believe it?!" Diamond asked the girls
"There used to be a mass murderer in Equestria!" Silver Spoon added
"Hey, he's not all bad!" Sweetie Belle said, "He used to protect Equestria!"
"Yeah the keywords being used to." Scootaloo said
"Well can ya'll blame him?!" Applebloom asked, "How else would somepony react ta findin' out ya can't go back home!"
"Well, yeah, I'd be mad and lose it, but I wouldn't go on a genocide!" Silver Spoon said
"Yeah that is a good point, but what if he still has good in him?" Sweetie Belle asked, "Nobody's truly evil. Every villain has at least some good in them."
"Yeah. Keyword being some." Diamond pointed out, "Have you literately forgotten about Tirek?!"
"That guy is pure evil incarnate!" Scootaloo said
"So?" Sweetie Belle said, "He might still have some good in him, he probably just didn't show it."
"Sweetie Belle, at this point yer just graspin' at straws." Applebloom pointed out
"No I'm not!" Sweetie Belle said
Unknown to everyone, while the five were arguing and the princess continued to answer the questions thrown at her, at the back of Matt Cordell's stone prision a crack was forming that was getting bigger and bigger until it stopped.
Revenge....
