My Life Thus Far, Book 1: The Outcast.

January 23, 999 C.E.

10:15 A.M.

Star just ran on instinct. He threw up a barrier to protect his friend's and with a flash of light he teleported himself and the big Stallion outside the bakery. He fell to the ground and realed from a slight headache he felt coming on. He quickly regained his focus however as the big guy began to stand up.

"You no good rotten magic using cheat!" The stallion shouted as the pony's in the restaurant had pushed themselves up against the window's to get a good look at the inevitable fight. Swift and Dash, however, went outside.

"Oh, what are we going to do?" Swift asked as he looked at the hulk of a brute his friend was about to fight. Dash's brain flew rapidly through idea after idea. She came up blank.

"I got nothing as of yet." She said as she continued to go over various scenerios in her head. She still kept an eye on the big guy and her friend.

"You'd better have a plan Star." she thought as the two began to circle each other.

Star focused all of his energy on getting this fight over with as quick as possible. The Stallion started to trot around in a circle.

"When I'm through pounding you into the ground your friends are next." The Big guy threatened. Star gave him a cold glare but held his tongue focusing on the fight to come. The big guy just smirked as he tried to get under Star's skin.

"Then I'm really going to work you all over." He said with a hint of lust and perversion that made Star's blood boil. He stopped trotting and looked to his friend's. His eye's met there's. They had a look of doubt in there eye's.

"You know they both look rather appetizing." Big Guy said more to himself than anypony. Dash glared at Big Guy.

"I'd rather chew glass." She shouted back. Big Guy smirked. "Oh ho ho ho. Tough one ain't ya." He said as he to stopped and gave her a sultry smile.

"Good. I like a little feisty in the sack." He said as he laughed maniacally to himself. Dash just shrank back as she glared at him. Swift came to her defense however.

"Leave her alone Stud Muffin." He yelled. He timidity shrank back a Stud shot him a glare of his own. "Just stay where you are you, little runt." He said. "I'll deal with you after your little boyfriend here." He said as he looked back to see that Star was gone.

"What? Where'd he go?" He said as he frantically looked around. Suddenly there was a grunt from behind him. Stud turned around and a look of dread covered his face.

"You know you should never look away from your opponent," Star said as he held a giant piano over his head. Stud didn't have enough time to react as the piano was dropped on his head. There was a sickening crunch as the piano hit its mark. Stud had a thicker skull than most pony's thought seeing as his head was sticking out the top. He glared at Star who's smug smile was soon washed from his face as Stud took his two front hoove's and ripped the piano from around his neck. The only sigh he had been injured was a small trail of blood leaking down the side of his face.

"That was amusing." He said as he cracked his neck. "Now it's my turn." He said as he lunged towards Star. Star use his magic to get out of the way as Stud plowed into the ground he was just standing on. Chunks of dirt, rock, and grass were sent flying in all direction's as Sebastian stood there. His head swung around looking for his opponent. Star meanwhile had prepared another spell and just as Stud swung his head around he fired it off. Stud saw the projectile coming and he nimbly ducked under it. Star's spell kept going until it hit a lamp post shattering it into piece's.

"Oop's." He muttered as he eyed Stud. Stud turned around and charged were Star was once more. Star sidestepped at the last second and while Stud was preoccupied with hitting the ground Star fired off another spell. This time the spell hit home. Stud was flung away by the impact and collided with the side of a red bricked building.

"GRRRR!" He yelled as he got to his hoove's. He was a little shaky but that soon faded. Star stood there panting as he reassessed his situation.

"Ok can't do this for much longer." He thought as Stud took a step towards Star. Star stood there s his mind raced with ideas.

"Come on think of something!" As Stud closed in Star saw something above his head. "The Sign." He thought, looking at the big sign for Sugar Cube Corner. Just as Stud was upon him Star jumped out of the way. He set up a teleportation spell.

"Ok let's do-" His thought was cut off as a massive blow struck him in the head. He was sent careening through the glass windows of Sugar Cube Corner. Pain lanced throughout his body as bit's of broken glass shredded his body. As he came to a stop on the floor of the bakery he felt a hot sticky substance began to collect underneath him. He gave a weak grunt as he looked at a puddle of blood that had begun to pool around him. Stud slowly trotted through the doorway as he came to gloat about his victory. Just as he got to the broken and battered body of Star however he stopped.

"What is that noise?" He asked as he turned around looking for the source of the high-pitched whistling that was distracting him. Suddenly he was blindsided by a frying pan to the face.

"Hey, you big dumb meany!" Came the voice of Pinky Pie as she reared her hoove's back, pan in hoof readying another swing.

"Leave my friend alone!" she shouted as she got between Star and Stud. Stud realed from the force of the pan against his skull but he still heard the high pitched noise. He looked around as his vision began to swim. He brought a hoof to his head to stabilize his sight.

"You'll pay for that you little bitch!" He roared. Now that his sight was restored he looked at Pinky with murderous intent. she didn't flinch or back down, however.

"Just try it, big guy." She goaded Stud. He smirked as he reared up on his hind legs his rock hard rod swaying as he began to gallop towards them. He jumped into the air planning on smashing the two. Mid jump his concentration was shattered as he and every other pony in ponyville heard a thunderous boom off in the distance. A bright beautiful rainbow shot through the sky in all direction as a single focal point of prismatic light spead toward's Sugar Cube Corner. The focal point of that blast was none other than Rainbow Dash herself and she was pissed. Her hoof collided with the side of Stud's rib's and a loud snap was heard as he was sent flying through the wall of Sugar Cube Corner and several other building's that were unlucky enough to be in his flight path. Rainbow stood over Star, panting as she stared at where Stud was in mid-air.

"Don't..ever..threatean..my..friend's." She said between breaths. She looked down at Star who was stuck between the excruciating pain he felt and the pure unadulterated respect he had for his prismatic maned friend right now. He settled for a weak smile as he looked at Rainbow with sad eyes.

"Are you ok?" Pinky said as she ran over to star's side. He smirked. "Never better Pink's." He said stifling a yelp. He saw Dash look away from where Stud was and look down at him.

"Oh my gosh?" She said as she came back to reality. "We have to get you to a hospital!" She said as she kneeled down to grab him. He gave out a howl of pain as she tried to get him up. She stopped and looked down at his body. His cuts were bleeding all over and he looked like he was about to pass out from blood loss. She gave him a light shove.

"Hey! Hey! stay awake ok!?" She said as she rushed through all her option's. "Come on Rainbow Think!" Her mind shouted as her friend lay dying her hoove's. Then a single thought popped into her head. "That.." She hesitated "That..Just might work." She thought as she gave Star a soft smile.

"This'll only hurt for a second." She said as she pulled Star close to her chest.

"What?" He mumbled as his eye's wobbled through a haze of pain. He felt a soft sensation engulf his lip's. He was surprised about this at first. Then a soft cooling sensation spread throughout his body. The last thing he registered before falling into a coma was the voice one of his best friend's.

"Come on. Don't go to sleep!"
