Spirit of Vengeance

The sun began to beam through the window next to the chair, Robbie was sitting on. The man stirred, cringing at the light threatening to bleed to his eyes. With a heavy sigh, he awoke, moving his arms from their crossed position on his chest, stretching to get feeling back while he opened his eyes.

'Morning. That was when the Dark Army said they would attack.' Reyes reminded himself, rubbing his sore head. 'Ugh... Migrane. Too much happening. Gotta push it aside, I have bigger problems to worry about than a headache.'

Standing up, Robbie looked through the cabinets, seeing what kind of food was stored and what was edible. "Hm. Looks like an all salad-diet here. Though that was a one night thing." he grabbed the sealed food and opened it, grabbing a piece of silverware and eating it, taking his time for he would know when the time would come.

'But going out there now would expose me for real in this world. On Earth, people thought me to be a myth in the streets. I have to admit, this is a step up from gangs... But I have to make this Dark Army pay for their sins.' thought Robbie, taking a bite of his breakfast, now deep into his own thoughts.

'On my world I could leave stuff like this to the bigwig Avengers, hell even Coulson's team. But they're not here. Unfortunately, this world is stuck with me.' Robbie thought. 'So far, I'm still a myth. I'll make sure to keep it that way.'

Rainbow Dash yawned, "Are we there yet?"

"Almost." Starlight muttered in an exhausted tone. The group had been in the Friendship Express for a whole night, just now arriving at their destination.

Twilight turned around from the window, her eyes baggy and heavy to keep open, "We..." a yawn escaped from her. "Made it. Just a few more minutes."

"So, Twi. Ya think the Ghost is in Manehattan? Why?" Applejack questioned.

"Because he might be after the Dark Army as well."

Rainbow Dash put a hoof to her head, "Then why in Equestria are we going after him? It sounds like it's on our side. If you ask me, we should just team up with him, ask him a few questions and then just leave him be."

"He's violent, Rainbow. We don't know what he's after. Say, the Dark Army's gone. What if he comes for us next with no other threat?" Twilight wondered in paranoia.

The cyan mare waved a hoof, "Yeah right. Like he would get past us should that happen."

Fluttershy lightly poked Rarity, who twitched in her sleep. She moved her head up slowly and wiped her eyes, "Oh dear... Did we finally arrive? We left quite late."

"We did." Fluttershy said.

Rarity yawned, "A-Alright. Excuse me, but I am quite exhausted."

"We all are, Rarity." Starlight muttered, "But we have to go now. The Servants of Darkness could attack at any moment."

"Yep! And who knows what side he's on! Is he good, bad, in between? We may never know." Pinkie chimed.

Twilight blinked, "How are you so wide awake, Pinkie?" she asked.

"Lots of sugar!"

The others blinked, feeling the train come to a sudden halt. They all moved slightly at the force of them stopping. But they saw the station right outside the station. Glad to have finally arrived, the group walked out. But as they did, Twilight let out a groan, "How? You were up all night."

"So were you!" Pinkie replied.

Robbie slammed the door to his new temporary hideout. His chain was wielded in hand, ready to end whoever threatens him or any one else. A glare was seen on his face. Reyes turned around and to his sides, making sure no one was passing by. 'That cult should be at the city soon. I can probably beat them there and get the advantage.'

With that thought in mind, Robbie sprinted ahead, passing through the forest. He hopped over logs, ducked underneath vines and nearly tripped on a few branches, causing him to stumble, but not enough to stop him. He was unsure of how long he had been running, but he felt it had been a while.

'Wish I had the damn car. I'm getting pretty freakin' tired just running.' admitted the host of the Spirit of Vengeance. He was pushing aside branches hanging off trees. He used his Hellfire abilities to touch one, burning it upon contact. "Alright..." he whispered, able to movr on as fast as he could. His legs were sore, and his heart was pounding from sprinting. But that didn't deter him from moving on anyway.

After a few more moments of running, Robbie finally found light beyond the trees. He leaped over a large log and landed perfectly on his feet. "Finally." he muttered to himself. He finally reached the end of the forest and saw a large city not too far from where he was standing. The man panted, holding his knees. Unlike last time he arrived in a city, it was a clear sunny day. This time he couldn't hide in the shadows so easily.

Robbie looked around, 'That city looks like any ordinary city back home. Of course, the damn place is called Manehattan.' he heard rustling nearby. Wanting to not get caught, he moved himself behind a tree, keeping himself out of sight from whatever was coming his way.

The man turned his head, seeing a group of cloaked ponies conversing with one another at the exact spot he was just at. "Do you have the spell ready?" one of the asked.

The unicorn chuckled, "Of course I do. Fillydelphia may have been a fluke, but this time there is no way that so-called Ghost or the Guardians of Harmony can reach us in time."

'Your funeral.' thought Robbie. 'I'm already here, but they don't need to know that just yet.'

"Excellent." the pegasus smirked. Robbie noticed that their eyes were glowing blood red, something he admit to have not seen back on his world.

'They're something else. Those are not ordinary ponies, that's for sure.' thought Reyes. 'Maybe a bit of questioning can get me some answers. That is, if they don't piss of my... bad side.'

Robbie watched as the group scattered off into the city. With his chain in hand, the man readied himself for a fight. He snuck from his hiding spot and went after one of the cloaked ponies. He wrapped an arm around their neck and slammed them on the grass, making a loud thud as his skull met the floor. "Listen here, punkass. I want you to know something before you're pushing daises. Your plan? I'm putting a stop to it."

"W-What?"

The pony couldn't say anything else. Reyes had smashed their head onto the ground harder than last time. Blood began to pour from the bruises on his head, nose and mouth. A crack was heard as his face met the ground. Robbie tossed the body aside and left it to rot, like he deserved.

His next goal? Stop the Servants from destroying Manahattan.
