Early Morning

Alex was somewhat tossing and turning as he slept…he kept feeling some touches on his shoulder…he chuckles as if he knew Flutters was trying to wake him up…it wasn’t going to work this time.

“Aw…come on Flutters…five more minutes--“

Alex opens his eyes to see him and Flutters fell asleep on the couch so he was still in his white shirt along with his jeans and shoes…he then tilts his head up…he sees Fluttershy who had her mouth covered by some familiar dirty paws…he looks up to see the dirty hounds from the Everfree forest…he then realizes what they’re doing.

“This one doesn’t look like a Pony…almost looks like a hairless monkey…should we still take him?” One Dog says.

“What good will monkeys do if all they do is play around and not do a single thing…they aren’t really scared of anything.” Another Dog says.

Alex slowly starts to move as he sees tears from Flutters’ eyes.

“Hey, stop crying all over my fur slave!” The Dog that was holding Fluttershy then proceeds to slap Flutters with one of his paws.

Alex’s eyes widen as his hand mark glows red and he somewhat moves…low growls heard.

“Oh look the animal is awake…how about we do something to it--“

The Dog is then kicked in the stomach by Alex who his knocked back a bit, he then kicks the dog next to him, his hand glows at the Dog holding Fluttershy which makes him let her go, Alex immediately stands up and holds his love close as the three start to come close.

“Stay the fuck away unless you want me to tear your fucking limbs off,” Alex growls at them as Fluttershy sobs.

“Such threats from a Hairless Monkey who can what, Kick and cast little spells…we’re Diamond Dogs, we’re the ones who will tear your limbs off.” The Dog that hurt Fluttershy says.

“Don’t fucking count on it…I heard three beings like you got your ass kicked by a Wolf.” Alex says.

“And how do you know that?”

“I saw it…because I’m the Wolf.” Alex’s Mark Glows as his Eyes blinked red.

The Dogs laugh and look at Alex.

“You? Surely you must be joking, we faced a beast...not a hairless monkey.”

“Looks can be deceiving…now I suggest you leave or else…You’ll be going back with only one arm or no arms.”

The Dog growl and attempt to pounce at Alex and Fluttershy.

“Flutters, run!”

Fluttershy runs out of harm’s way as Alex’s mark glows, he gives the first dog a slug to the jaw, while giving the second one a kick to the muzzle.

The third one jumps onto Alex successfully, however, Alex fights back he puts his marked hand on the Dog’s muzzle and slowly burns it…the dog whimpers and immediately jumps off and backs away, the two other dogs look at the burnt muzzle then all look back at Alex who had his marked and lit up hand up to his face.

“You seriously are making a huge mistake fucking with a Guardian and his love,” Alex says as he closes the hand into a fist…waiting for the dogs to attack.

One of them pulls out some type of shank and two of the dogs besides the muzzle burnt one, attack Alex again, one slashes with a knife and the other slashes with their pitiful claws…compared to Lycan Razors.

Alex ducks at the two attackers as he then grabs their heads and bonks them together, after doing that, Alex takes one arm of one of the Dogs and puts it behind his back, he then kicks his knee and bends the arm more…snapping the bone.

The Dog yelps and kicks Alex in the stomach, he grunts and steps back…he steps around the two dogs…one of them now having a broken arm, not backing down.

Alex then looks behind them and realizes…where’s the third dog…he wasn’t on the floor.

“Alex! Help!!!” Fluttershy shouts, then glass shattering was heard.

Alex gasps and pushes the two dogs away…taking a cut from the knife to his arm, he opens the door to see the third dog, carrying Fluttershy and walking away.

“Fluttershy!!! You fucking--“

Then a stabbing sound was heard behind him…and he felt something enter his back, he was stunned…he was then turned around by the diamond dog who then stabbed his chest…hitting his heart…blood started leaking from his mouth as his sight was darkening…energy weakening…the Dog takes the knife out as Alex fell to the ground…blood slightly leaking.

“Alex!!!” Fluttershy screamed at the top of her lungs, the dog grunted from the screeching, “You don’t know what you are doing--“ The dog then knocks out Fluttershy.

“F…Ffff…Flutter…s..shy.”

Alex grunts and yells as his mouth stained with dry blood…his wound closing slowly…Guardian magic was doing its trick along with the bond with Fluttershy.

He breathed rapidly as he looked at himself…his white shirt had knife tears on his chest and back along with blood stains…as well as some around his mouth.

Alex then remembers what happened…he basically died, his Guardian powers revived him…Echo knows how many times he’s cheated death…then again, most Guardians cheat death really.

Alex yells in anger as he stands up, “Where are they?! Where are those dirty fucks? I’m gonna fucking tear them limb to limb, eye to eye, part from part…every single piece is going to be fucking crushed and snapped until they are no longer recognizable!” Alex thinks and he starts to run towards Ponyville…he didn’t care if he’ll look like he just did a bad deed.

He arrives at the city and he sees some damage…some grunts…hurt ponies…even some dead ones…he notices they’re all stallions.

“They…came for the whole town…” Alex growls in anger…Ponies injured and/or killed by thieving Hounds.

Alex hears some sounds and heads to the closest house and he hears grunts of pain…Alex sees the door was broken so he enters and he sees a familiar face.

It was Hunter and he had shards of glass in his shoulder and chest…but nowhere close to his heart.

“Hunter!” Alex runs over to the injured Gryphon.

The Gryphon growls in anger then recognizes the face in front of him, “Alex?”

“Did they take Eve?”

Hunter growls, “Yes…fuckers jumped us, I tried to fight back…but they all gained up on me…five against one…smashing me against the window, then stabbing me with the shards…I still fought but…I was losing blood…I had no choice.

“What do you mean?”

“You know Luna taught me magic, I had to use a spell to hold the blood in my body…but it caused me to pass out which I didn’t see coming,” Hunter explains as he grunts and sits up slowly, he took the remaining two shards out of him, he then stands up grunting in pain and growling as well…he grabs some bandages and he wraps his wounds.

“Enough about me…what the fuck happened to you…I bet they came for you and you fucking ate one of them.”

“I wish I did now…I can’t turn in daylight unless Fluttershy can manipulate my aura for daytime…they came in…I gave them some damage but they outsmarted me…I ended up taking a knife to the heart.” Alex says as he points at the tears in his shirt…and the red scars.

“The scars will be gone in a few hours.”

“Fuck…they took Fluttershy, Eve, and…many others I think.”

“They only took Mares…what are these sick fucks doing?”

“I don’t know…not a lot know of Diamond Dog Intentions ever since they were kicked off the Equestrian Council…their greed exceeds them.” Hunter says.

“Fuck…” Alex replies.

Hunter growls, “I’m gonna fucking tear them into shreds once I find them.”

“We need to get to check on the Elements,” Alex says finishing putting on the bandages for him.

Hunter nods and the two head for different locations…Applejack was gone from her farm, Big Mac saying she went to buck apples for a bit…thankfully Apple Bloom was safe.

Rarity and Sweetie Belle were gone as well…the Boutique looking like a mess, ripped clothes and everything…they ruined the new Dress Line Up inspired from Alex.

Alex and Hunter didn’t know where Rainbow Lived…however they couldn’t find Scootaloo…guessing they possibly were taken.

Pinkie was gone…however apparently she hid the twins because Alex found a note saying to go to a specific location in the Cake Shop, it sent him to a Basement which had Balloons and such but most importantly the twins were there…crying for Pinkie…but were kinda relieved when Alex showed up.

Finally, the two go up to the Castle looking through different rooms until they reach the bedroom to see Spike who had a black eye…he explained that Twilight came with them so they wouldn’t hurt Spike…as much…he said they had Entrapment Rings which rendered Unicorns useless from their magic.

They had all the mares in Ponyville along with the Elements…Alex growled even more in anger…he took Spike to the Apples where Big Mac would keep him, Granny Smith, Applebloom, and the Twins safe.

“What are you gonna do?” Big Mac asks.

“I’m gonna kill every last one of them,” Alex says as he then leaves the house, he starts his journey…beginning to enter the Everfree Forest.

“I’m coming with you,” Hunter says.

“No, you’re hurt.”

“It’s gonna take fucking more than fucking glass to hurt me severely…they have Eve and she is my light…I’m not letting anyone hurt her at all,” Hunter growls as he spreads his wings…he pulls out a dagger with a mark of the moon.

Alex chuckles looking…kinda evil…he likes what Hunter was thinking…Alex’s hand glows red.

“Uhn…ooh…w-where am I?”

“Fluttershy wake up!”

Her eyes slowly open to see her friends the Elements in front of her all having some bruises on them…Rarity especially.

“G-Girls? Where are we?”

“The Diamond Dog Caves.” Rarity says.

“Were you all taken as well?” Fluttershy asks.

She looks to see besides the Elements, she sees Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Mrs. Cake, Ms. Cherileee along with some of her students…like Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, and…Eve…most were crying but Eve isolated herself in a corner.

“Yes…I tried to save Scootaloo…” Rainbow answers.

“Those Ruffians got the drop on me and Sweetie.” Rarity says…wiping the somewhat dry blood from her mouth.

“I came with them so they wouldn’t hurt Spike.” Twilight answers…small tears from her.

“They took me while I was bucking Apples,” AJ says frustratingly.

“I saw what was happening so I hid the twins. I and Mrs. Cake tried to fight back.” Pinkie answers.

“Where’s Alex?” Sweetie Belle asks, holding onto her sister.

Fluttershy somewhat teared up, “He took a knife to the heart…”

The Elements along with others gasped as they wanted to comfort Flutters…she pushed them back and walked towards Eve.

“Eve?”

“Fluttershy?” Eve says as she stops crying for a bit.

“They took you as well?”

“Y-Yeah…Hunter fought back…but he had too many Glass Shards in his body…I think he…lost too much…blood.” Eve immediately starts crying…fearing her love is dead.

“You know something? I don’t think a Gryphon could be taken down that easily.” Fluttershy says.

“Says the one who has an invincible Guardian for a boyfriend…Alex told Hunter what happened to him…he told me…your boyfriend is still alive!” Eve says somewhat pushing back Fluttershy…crying endlessly.

Fluttershy immediately hugs Eve, trying to stop her from crying…because a Diamond Dog was in front of their cell.

“Keep crying and I’ll truly give you something to cry about, little pony bitch.” The Diamond Dog says.

Fluttershy lets go of Eve and she slams her hands against the bars and hits them.

“Maybe she’s like that because you kidnapped her and took her away from the one she loves stupid mutt!” Fluttershy says…staring at them.

The Dog stares back for a bit…giving an off look…he then sprints up to Fluttershy against the bars…growling.

“Say that again bitch…I dare you slave…you will be punished for actions such as that…I’ll include her.” The dog says, eyeing Eve.

“If you do that…you’ll be given a fate worse than death.”

Fluttershy wasn’t fucking around, her friends gave a surprised look.

“Oh really, and how will that happen?”

“I’ll make sure you’re ripped to shreds…piece by piece…and I’m sure…’he’ll’ enjoy it.”

“Oh…and who’s this he? Your boyfriend…another weak pony?”

“How about you let us out and I’ll make sure he doesn’t hurt you?”

Fluttershy decides to stick her head out of the bars…they were far enough for heads to stick through…testing the Dog.

The dog slaps her and laughs.

“I’d like to see him try…and if she doesn’t shut up…she’s next.”

Fluttershy gives him a mean look as she comforts Eve…she tested the Dog and she got the reaction she wanted…

“Hunter is alive…I know it okay…have faith…I bet he has gotten out of tough situations before.”

Eve stops crying…holding Fluttershy, “Well…he kinda has before…”

Fluttershy giggles and sits with her, “Why don’t you tell me how you two met?”

Eve stops crying and talks to Flutters…telling her how he met Hunter and such.

The Elements look at the Caretaking Fluttershy…more like the Guardian Fluttershy.

“I think she has come out of her shell…now that she’s a Guardian…Alex opened her up.” Twilight says.

“Indeed…It’s…pretty romantic if you think about it.” Rarity says.

Alex walked through the forest with Hunter at his side, he still was pissed, they then arrive at Zecora’s place.

“Here’s hoping they didn’t take Zecora,” Alex says.

He opens the door and sees Zecora’s home a bit trashed…Alex growls, as usual, seeing all his friends gone, he looks around to see some things were trashed…masks, remedies, many things.

Just then a crack from a branch was heard from behind them.

Hunter and Alex ready themselves to fight, but then they ease themselves…

It was Zecora in the flesh, she had a hooded cloak on with bandages around her hands, she as well a Bow & Arrow, she smiles at the Gryphon and the Guardian.

“Ah, Alex…it is very good to see you are not in the claws of the dirty hounds.”

“Well…I was stabbed by them.” Alex says putting a hand being his head in slight humor.

“I can see that considering the blood you and Hunter have on each other,” Zecora says observing their bodies.

“It’s been a while by the way Zecora,” Hunter smirks.

“It had been my large friend, however the time for talk is nonexistent…the dogs have taken many mares and a few young colts…their plan for slavery, trading, and greed will succeed unless they are stopped.” Zecora says.

“Agreed…do you know where they are?”

"Indeed I do...however, let us set ourselves up for the battle we might have," Zecora says as she walks over to one of her destroyed tables,

The Zebra pulls out a dagger and she puts it in its sheath and into her cloak, she nods at Alex and Hunter to follow her. They do so as all three exit the house and walk through the forest.

"You taking us to them?" Hunter asks.

"Correct, my large friend...Diamond Dogs live underground, where it is all but caves and diamonds...their greed exceeds them so they usually capture stray ponies, I would never think they're greed would only get bigger." Zecora says as they keep walking.

"I'm not surprised...this is why they were kicked off the Nations Committee...fucking ridiculous," Hunter says.

"What do you plan to do, you two?" Zecora asks.

"We're gonna kill every last one of them..." Alex says.

Zecora looks at Alex in surprise...hearing him have a bloodthirst for the Mutts.

The three continue to walk through the forest as Alex still had his fists clenched, slowly, more light appeared from the sky...there were fewer trees now...soon, there were covered up holes in the ground all around them.

"We have arrived," Zecora says.

"You'd think they'd cover up the holes so no outsiders could get in or make some entrance and exit that only they could find," Hunter says.

"Yep, but they're fucking idiots...let's go," Alex says, not even wasting any time.

The three nod and all slide into an opening to the underground caves, it was dark...but there were small lights and torches.

"We find everypony here and take out any Mutts in our way...no prisoners...I warned them two times about what would happen and I'm pretty sure all of Equestria warned them many times." Alex says as the two walk behind him.

Just then they spot a Diamond Dog wearing some type of damaged armor, Alex whistles at the mutt and immediately the dog charges at him, what he didn't expect was Hunter's Talons to snap and cause him to force pull him over to the three, unarmed and unable to move, Hunter drops him with his helmet taken off, Alex nods at Zecora and puts a thumb to his neck.

Zecora nods back and takes out her dagger and puts it to the Mutt's neck while Hunter holds him down.

"Alright I'll make this short, where are you keeping the Mares...give me an answer I like and my friend here won't slit your throat."

"Rot in Tartarus you hairless ape!"

Alex puts his shoe down on the mutt's arm...slowly breaking it, the dog whimpers in pain.

"Stop! It hurts!"

"Then tell me where you are keeping all the Mares?" Alex says crouching down putting more pressure on the damaged arm.

"And don't give us any bullshit!" Hunter says.

"You'll never know! Only we can figure out our cave system!" The Mutt says.

Alex just sat there in silence for a bit as the mutt had an evil smirk.

"Well, then I guess I'll have to improvise."

Alex immediately grabs Zecora's Dagger and stabs the mutt right near its kneecap. The Dog yelled in pain which Alex slugs him to shut him up.

"Hey, eyes up here...now," Alex tilted the blade forward to his cap, "Or I'll pop your fucking knee off."

The Mutt breathed and looked at him...he had fear on his face.

"You will take us to the mares...no bullshit...no stalling...any of that or you lead us to your buddies, you'll be dead before you can even react," Alex says.

Hunter grabs some rope that around his waist and he ties it around the dog's wrists, Alex nods at that and he takes the blade out and gives it back to Zecora...making the Mutt's leg bleed, he then stands him up.

"Start walking," The Mutt looks back at Alex in question, "Now!"

The dog immediately starts walking forward...taking them to the cells...hopefully.

The four walk for a while...the caves got a bit darker now they were away from the digging holes, Hunter looks at Alex and mouths, 'Can we trust him?'

Alex shook his head and looked at the mutt, then back at Hunter and mouthed, 'It's our best chance.' He then looks at Zecora and mouths, 'You okay?'

'Never better,' Zecora then walks near Alex and whispers, "I have killed and protected before...do not think I am scared because you want to kill those who have acted unwisely." She smiles and flips her dagger around.

Alex winks at the Zebra and looks back at the limping Mutt.

"How much further?"

"Ngh...we should be c-close...would be there faster if I could properly walk." The Mutt says, grunting in pain.

"Oh quit whining...if you were an actual guard you'd not bitch about small things that you're gonna get on the job," Alex says.

"Alex!"

Alex immediately looks up and sees the cage full of mares...and Fluttershy pushing against the bars.

"Fluttershy!" Alex immediately sprints to the cage.

"Hunter!" Eve stands up and does the same things as Fluttershy.

"Eve!" Hunter pushes the guard and sprints to Eve.

Zecora looks at the Guard on the floor and she knocks him out with a hoof to the head.

"You've made yourself useful enough," Zecora says as she walks to the two reunited couples.

"Oh, my goodness, what did they do to you, honey?" Eve asks Hunter.

"All I can say is don't play with broken glass." Hunter chuckles.

"Are you alright Flutters?" Alex asks.

"I'm kinda beat up...but I'm fine."

"What did they do?" Alex growls.

Eve slightly flinches at Alex's anger.

"I stood up...and they hurt me...simple...just a hard slap along with some claws...not like I haven't had that happen before," Fluttershy says.

"I'll kill them," Alex growls...his eyes turning red.

"Alex! You can't do that!" Twilight says as she approaches the bars.

"Why not? They have kidnapped every mare in Ponyville and injured, even killed stallions trying to protect them...and I know they have kidnapped Rarity before and threatened Spike before. They were kicked from the council for a reason...their greed. The House of Wolves will expect them to be punished for crimes such as these...just like Starlight, but thankfully she is imprisoned...these mutts have no intention of being imprisoned or being fought against...they have made that clear." Alex points at his stab wound.

"What...did they do?" Rarity asks.

"They stabbed me straight in the heart...at this point, I stopped questioning how I should be alive but the only excuse is being a Guardian." Alex sighs.

"Look, let's not worry...where is the key?" Hunter asks.

"One of the Guards has them." Fluttershy answers.

Alex lets go of the bars, "I'll be back."

Fluttershy nods and Alex leaves.

"Zecora? What are you doing here?" Twilight asks.

"I am here to assist in your escape...this is not the first time they have come by Ponyville...they might have planned this. I only regret I have is not foreseeing an action such as this." Zecora says.

"Alex checked on every one of your homes including mine...that's how he found me. I would've had more trouble if he didn't show up and tend to my wounds." Hunter says as he moves his wings around.

Suddenly they hear the sounds of rocks cracking as well as the sound of something shattering and snapping...along with whimpers, later Alex shows up.

"I got the keys," Alex says as he walks over to the cage and inserts the key into the lock, as he was unlocking the cage he hears footsteps, "We got trouble."

Alex turns around along with Hunter and Zecora to see some Diamond Dogs show up...the same ones that took Fluttershy.

"You!" One of the Dogs says in shock...the rest had their eyes wide open.

"Yep...me," Alex said in a dark type of voice.

"I put a knife straight through you!" One of the other dogs say.

"I don't die that easily," Alex says...his eyes glowing red.

"Then, we'll just have to kill you again!" The Mutts say...they then whistle...calling to all the other Diamond Dogs.

"You think you can stand against us?"

"I warned you many times what would happen...even Equestria warned you about your misdeeds...I am going to get rid of this infestation." Alex growls.

"Oh yeah, what are you gonna do 'Lycan?'" The Mutt says as some Dogs stood behind the three.

Alex growls as he immediately begins his transformation...a series of cracks and snaps were heard...Claws growing from his fingers...muscles swelling from his entire body...his clothes ripping...his body growing, his shoes ripping apart revealing his Digi-Grade Paws....his shirt tearing revealing his hard and fur covered chest...his hair growing and changing white. His face and ears reshaping and extending.

Growls were heard from Alex and all that the dogs could do was watch as Alex became the beast that he is...some even whimpered in fear.

"Shit son..." Hunter says...witnessing his Lycan form for the very first time.

"Kill them!" The Mutts say, and the Diamond Dogs do what they are told...all pointing their spears, knives, and swords at the Lycan, the Gryphon, and the Zebra.

Alex immediately knocks back any coming his way....Zecora kicking and punching any coming near her...and Hunter subduing any that came to him...Alex had his anger released...but he was trying not to frighten any of the ponies and fillies.

"Is this the best you got Mutts?" Alex says as he slashes at some more...then he feels something enter his back...he grunts then looks back as one Mutt stabbed him with his shank...then some more start to gain up on him...slashing at Alex while he fought back at ones he could get.

The pain builds through him but quickly leaves...but it comes back as they kept stabbing and slashing him. Alex growls as he kept attacking...his blood boiling up.

I have no choice...

Alex starts injuring some close to him...blood spilling from some of the Dogs but not killing them...The Mutts then get more aggressive as they see their injured brothers...they start pouncing and such...Hunter was backed against the cage suddenly, he keeps pushing them back and using his magic to keep them away. Zecora was using her dagger to threaten them...she grunts as some start to gain up and tear at her cloak.

"Back off you Mutts!" Zecora says.

"Fuck off!" Hunter says.

They then look at Alex who still was having problems...then one of the leaders pounce at Alex and stab his chest...knocking him back.

"Alex!" Almost everyone says together.

That's it!

Alex roars and howls...as a normal Lycan would...it hurt everyone's ears as it echoed. Alex's eyes were blood red along with some of his fur due to the bloody wounds.

I'm not holding back.

Alex immediately gets up and he picks up one of the Dogs, his claws extending...and going through the Dog's chin and out of his head...killing him instantly.

The dogs froze at their dead brother, The Ponies froze at Alex's first kill in Equestria, Hunter looked at him in surprise but not much, Zecora immediately continues it...she takes her dagger and puts it through one of the Mutt's neck.

"Kill them! Kill the Ponies! N-Now!"

Alex growls and starts slashing excessively at the Mutts coming at him...causing severe wounds...even death. Hunter started doing the same as he spotted a dog getting ready to throw a knife at one of the ponies...he levitates the knife and puts it in the Dog's eye...killing him immediately.

"I have no choice..." Zecora says as she kills another Mutt.

"Do what you need to do honey," Eve says.

Hunter nods and he growls as he spreads his wings and snaps his talons, a sword appears...it looked like a Lunar Knight Sword of some kind. He immediately decapitates the Dog in front of him.

The three against a pack of Dogs...blood spilled, whimpers from the mutts, grunts from the three, growls from the Wolf.

Alex barked in a monstrous way at the mutts as he then starts using his teeth...the sharp canines cutting into the flesh of one of the mutts, blood, and bones...cracks and snaps...as the Lycan was chomping up the Dog's flesh...eating it...satisfying the Wolf's Hunger.

The three leaders looked in unison...and in fear..watching one of their own be eaten...by another canine...but that was no canine.

"S-Stop! Please!"

Immediately the dogs stop as well as the three.

"J-Just take them, we'll never come back! We promise!"

Immediately Alex drops his food and growls right in the three dogs' face...his teeth were partly colored red with blood along with a few guts or other parts dripping from his mouth.

"Why should I believe you?" Alex asks.

As the four conversate...Fluttershy was turning the key, unlocking it...the door opens which got everyone's attention, the dogs were about to move on them until Alex growled and the Mutt put his paw up.

"You have proved what you were gonna do...you warned us...and...she was right." The Mutt looks at Fluttershy.

Fluttershy motions everyone to come out, Hunter leads them out...his sword disappearing...the ponies huddled up against each other...walking through the blood-soaked ground...they look at the Giant Lycan in fear...some fillies were holding and cuddling a pony close to them...some of the Mane Six just look at Alex as if they were either scared or...disappointed.

The Mutts retreated by command of the three dogs, Fluttershy went to Alex and hugged him.

"It's okay Alex...let's go home," she says.

Alex nods and takes deep breaths...the two turn around and start to leave.

Just then one of the dogs grabbed Fluttershy and put a knife to her throat.

"Alex!"

The Wolf turned around...growling even louder.

"Stop, if you come any closer, I'll kill her!" The Dog says.

"You just blew your one chance to live..."

Alex starts to come close.

"S-Stay back!" The Dog starts to push the knife against her skin.

"You were warned."

Alex looks behind him to see Zecora, she then takes out her dagger and throws it into one of the mutt's eyes...causing him immediately to die.

"Fido!" The Dog looks behind him.

Immediately, Fluttershy bites on the Dog's wrist causing him to kinda bleed...the Dog yells in pain losing his grip on Fluttershy, she immediately elbows his muzzle and takes the knife, stabbing his shoulder.

The dog yelps in pain as Fluttershy ran behind Alex, who then pounces the injured dog and immediately unsheathes his claws again and rips off his left arm, he then rips off the other...and starts to feed on it.

"Y-You m-m-mons-s-ter--!!!" The dog stutters in pain.

"I know."

Alex immediately chomps into the dog's neck and starts digging into his flesh...eating him piece by piece...his fur turning blood red along with the guts of the Mutt...the sound of him eating his fresh and still, warm meat made the last dog start to vomit...seeing his friend die.

"R-Rover..." The small dog says.

The Lycan finishes his meal and he walks over to the last dog who backed himself up against the wall.

"Never...come...back. If you do...you will end up like your friends...as well as the rest of your pack."

The dog whimpers and nods.

"Leave."

The dog starts sprinting away...but he then trips and screams because he thought the Lycan was going to kill him while he wasn't looking...he immediately gets up and runs even faster.

"A-Alex?"

The Lycan sighs but it sounded more like a growl, "Let's go home."

Alex turns around not looking at Zecora or Fluttershy...he looks through the holes to see it was nighttime...he immediately dug to make the hole bigger for him to crawl out of, he waits for Fluttershy and Zecora and he picks them up and out of the hole. He was still silent.

"Zecora...I need you to take Fluttershy home for me."

"But Alex, it's okay, I don't care--"

The Lycan looks away and growl/sighs again.

"I need you to go...both of you."

"Dear Alex...can you tell me what's wrong--"

"Just do it." Alex starts to walk away.

"Alex?" Fluttershy says.

"Let us go Fluttershy, our canine friend needs some time alone," Zecora says.

"...Okay."

The two start to walk but then they hear a howl...a beautiful howl...they turn around to see it was Alex who was already pretty far from them...they look up and see...it was a full moon.

"He will be okay, I promise you," Zecora says.

Fluttershy enters Ponyville again and sees everyone crowded together...most mares reunited with the ones he cared about.

"Fluttershy."

She sees her friends along with Hunter and Eve.

"Where's Alex?" Hunter asks.

"He's not coming home tonight...he needed to be alone."

"But why?" Rainbow asks.

"I don't know...he wouldn't say why."

"What he did was so awesome...he tore those damn dogs apart!" Rainbow says.

"Rainbow Dash!" Applejack yells.

Rainbow looks at Applejack but then she was slapped...not hard or anything...by Fluttershy.

"What was that for--"

"You think he wanted to do that?! Alex never likes to do such brutal actions such as what we just saw! He even had good reason to, they were gonna keep us as slaves forever! Even do worse things! He doesn't enjoy that at all!"

"It sounded like he did."

The Six turn around and see a pink mare with a violet mane...she had the ripped clothes of a Wealthy Pony...besides her was a Pink filly with a Diamond-made Tiara.

"Well, he didn't," Fluttershy says.

"How would you know? Are you in love with that monster?"

"How...dare you call him that." Fluttershy's anger started to show which kinda scared the others.

"Because did you see it...that thing ripped up another creature like it was food, and it looked like it was gonna feed on us next!"

"Are you kidding me? He saved us, we wouldn't be home if it weren't for him, or Zecora, or Hunter!"

"Oh, and we should be thanking a savage and dirty beaked creature and a striped, ugly, and block muzzled witch!"

Hunter growls quietly and Zecora huffs.

"Why should we thank a giant flesh-eating monster? If anything you could have gotten us killed with your resistant attitude down there Ms. Flutter-shy.'"

"I'm not scared anymore."

"Oh please, I know deep down you are still the shy and pathetic doormat you are and you have to cower behind a level-headed beast so nothing can happen to you, guess what, he abandoned you! You can't hide behind a killer anymore...and I bet you're just the same...deep down, I promise you...soon as that beast comes back...I will make sure he is locked up--"

Immediately the sound of a loud and hard slap is heard along with a yelp and grunt.

Spoiled Rich was crouched and she tasted slight blood...she growled.

"You dare touch me you filthy, savage, animal lover?! I will put you in jail with your beast and I will make sure you will never see daylight again!" Spoiled slaps Fluttershy back...Fluttershy showed no resistance or anything...she didn't even cry.

Fluttershy's hand started to glow which she felt the mark where she hit her disappear and heal...she then puts her hand up to Spoiled and suddenly she was pushed back.

The spoiled mare grunted as she lied on the ground.

"You will hear from my lawyers." Spoiled Rich says.

Fluttershy gets up and rubs the grass off her already ripped clothes.

"Fluttershy are you okay? Why did you do that?" Twilight says.

"Because Alex is not a Monster...and I am not a doormat anymore...I am a Guardian, and I'm going to start acting like one." Fluttershy says.

"He saved us."

One of the mares say.

"They saved us...they deserve our thanks."

A Mare with a gray mane and a suit walks up to them.

"I want to thank Hunter, Zecora, and...Alex...for saving us...Me and Ponyville agree with you...he had no choice...we saw...he would've been killed along with the others if he didn't kill them first....I may not like it, but he did what he has to do." The mare says.

"Thank you, Mayor Mare...I'm pretty sure our Lycan friend will be back soon," Twilight says.

"I hope so." Mayor Mare says.

Alex was running through open fields that were outside of the Forest, away from the Caves...he enjoyed the fresh air for once. He looks at the moon.

"I guess everyone has a dark side...even a monster, I cannot escape it...I can only bond with it."

"Correct Alex."

Alex immediately looks behind him and sees the two princesses.

"Celesta? Luna?"

"Alex...you're looking...well."

"Now, I'm in trouble huh?"

"Not exactly, but come with us."

"I'm afraid that cannot happen."

"Why not?"

"It is the full moon, I will be stuck in this form and I have been fighting my urges to consume more flesh...I do not want to risk hurting you two."

"Well then, I have an idea."

Alex tilts his head waiting for her to say it.

Her horn then glows and Alex's world blacks out.

Godammit...again?

Author's Note

WELL FUCK ME, AN ACTUAL LYCAN DOING THINGS A LYCAN WOULD DO.
xD

Besides that, I'm sorry for the late progress, I've been itching to get other stories out, and now that I have Grammarly, I will be editing The Guardian Lycan for any errors my Microsoft Word couldn't spot XD.

Also yes the three dogs were the original Diamond Dogs from the Episode "A Dog and a Pony Show." I really assumed those three were leading the pack in the caves so...yeah, fuck them XD

Anyhoo, this time, I'm not tired as shit...anyhoo goodnight everyone.

I had this on loop while I typed this chapter XD.
