Princess luna's warm moonlight casted a radiant glow over the land of equestria, every pony and most woodland creatures were calling it a night and getting ready to go sleep. The little fillies and colts were getting tucked in by their mommies or daddies, getting ready for another day. And adult ponies were getting themselves ready for another day too.

Most of ponyville's residents were already asleep, or just getting to bed. However a certain lavender alicorn in a certain crystal castle was still up doing last checks on her what to do list for the next day. Her little purple dragon assistant already went to sleep as he usually does for the evening, another hard working day for his caretaker no less. Princess Twilight Sparkle just got done doing her last check ups and was about to go to bed herself when she suddenly saw a bolt of lightning struck the ground in the middle of the everfree forest followed by a bright goldish red light which made a sizzling sound throughout the forest and town. Twilight gasped at what she saw "what was that!" she quietly whispered as she never let her gaze leave the everfree, which now had a trail of smoke going up in the sky at the middle. She wanted to go and investigate but decided not to. Despite she was a powerful princess, the everfree forest was a dangerous place to go to, especially at night.

"Looks like i know what i'm doing in the morning" she said to herself as she trotted to bed with that strange light still in her head.

(Meanwhile)

In the middle of the everfree forest there was smoke forming in the middle of a small crater with electricity sparking around the smoke.

Inside the smoke a soft deep grunt could be heard as a shadow slowly emerged from the black smoke, rubbing his hand hand over his head and his waist was sparking with electricity as a strange belt device fell from his waist and blew up into flames. " Well, looks i'm stranded here"! spoke a deep voiced young man. Ah hell!, guess i'll start my mission and figure out where i am later" the man sighed.

Then growls could be heard from behind the man and the sound of twigs moving together and bushes making rustling sounds, as the slowly turned his head halfway to look towards the noise. What he saw apart from a few destroyed trees were a bunch of glowing green eyes staring right at him as the eyes began to move closer and the growls became louder. "Well now" The man said with a bit of interest." looks like i stumbled into hornet's nest!" the man chuckled to himself as the eyes finally came into the light to the light to reveal about 15 Timberwolves starting at their pray.

The man's eyes began to glow a bright green color," i hope no one is watching because i'm about to make some charcoal out of some wild wood wolves!" he said darkly as he raised his left arm slightly and clenched his hand to form a fist. Suddenly his entire left arm caught fire and a small red glowing dragon could be seen on the shadowy man's left cheek. The attackers were taken back a bit but began advancing once again with more aggression. The man began to smile, showing off his sharp teeth as his glowing red dragon began to glow brighter. " LET'S BURN THINGS UP!" he yelled as he spun his body around with a lot of speed. Now facing his attackers he pulled back his blazing arm, and with one more dark grin on his face, launched it forward launching a fireball at the wooden wolves and causing an explosion to be echoed into the night.

Once the explosion died down, all that remained of the 15 Timberwolves were nothing but ashes burning on the ground. The man put his arm back to his side and ceased the fire on it. "I've not been in this new place for five minutes and already i'm getting a hostile welcoming committee!" he said with an annoyed voice. "Well i'd better get moving, but which way?" the man began looking around the forest for any ideas on which direction to head to.

"Hey, i see a castle over there, looks like i'll head over there." The man finally stepped into to some light to reveal his appearance. He had long black hair which went down his shoulders and slightly past the middle of his back, with the front of it just barely reaching his eyes. He had mixed race skin, with dark black eyes. On his left cheek a red dragon tattoo was barely visible behind his hair. He wore a long black trench coat with some belt straps around the arms and some zips right by the wrists. on the back of his coat rested a long black and red staff with a red triple blade at each end held to his back by a black strap. He wore black fingerless gloves on his hands, long black baggy combat trousers with black kneepads and a combat rambo case facing down his right leg. To finish off his outfit he wore dark gray steel toe cap boots. So this man was dressed for combat.

As he was about to make his move he heard growls around him again, and then a giant Manticore came trekking towards him from a bush. "Really?" the man said with a very unamused look on his face. " A lion with a scorpion tale, how original" he finished with a facepalm.

The giant Manticore than let out a sudden deafening roar which made the man's long black hair blow all over the place, revealing a pair of shiny reddish green goggles on his forehead. When the Manticore stopped its roar, it looked over at its prey standing in front of it and it began attacking him with its tale, with intent to kill. The man simply jumped backwards a few feet, dodging the stinger tale which struck the ground and a hole.

He then began to raise his arms slightly, and bend his fingers making his hands look like claws and then he set his hands ablaze. He looked at the Manticore with that same smile on his face he had before showing off his sharp teeth. His eyes began to glow green once again and his red dragon tattoo began to glow once again. " Let's see if you can last longer than those useless planks" as the man lunged towards the large beast before him, and another loud roar echoed through the night.
