So to start off this story, I guess you would need to know a few things. I would say that my life is a shitty one right off the bat for a few reasons, but it gets a little better. My story is kind of a long one. So let's get started, shall we?
My name is Vyncent Akumu Moon. I'm a twenty-six-year-old male born in Kyoto, Japan and raised in a small town in the state of South Carolina. I stand at about six foot eleven inches or about two hundred eleven centimeters. I weigh one hundred seventy-six pounds which is equal to eighty kilograms. I tend to wear clothes with the colors black and red. My standard set of clothes are my black leather jacket with torn off sleeves and a crescent moon emblem, a dark red t-shirt, black jeans, black and red shoes, a pair of fingerless leather gloves, and black bandage-like wraps on my left arm. I have long spiky hair that runs to the middle of my back and slightly covers the left side of my face. The color of my hair is jet black but is a bit unnatural as it is accented with dark crimson on the tips of my hair. I wear a pair of crescent moon earrings as well. The last feature that to me is the reason that some people fear and ridicule me which is that I have deep blood red eyes and my pupils are slightly like a cat. For this reason, I have been called a demon, vampire, unholy beast, etc.
I found luck with two friends of mine named Mike and Evan Thornburg. They were twin brothers who had come from a rich family but wanted to start from scratch to earn money the hard way themselves. Mike is a fun guy and a bit of a heavy drunk. He's an engineer and an extrovert who has traveled nearly all of the world. He currently owns his own construction company and manufactures his own steel. His brother, Evan, on the other hand, is a genius and an introvert. He is a doctor with an IQ of two hundred and fifty and has a wide branch of pharmacies with his name on it, plus he's a bit of a chill person when you get to know him.
The next set of important people in my life would be my family. I have a father, grandmother, an older brother and sister, and a younger sister. Starting with my least favorite family member is my dad, Ricardo. He is my least favorite because he was never here for me during the times when he should have been there for me. He stands at an even seven feet or two hundred thirteen centimeters. He is forty years old and works as a business owner at a five-star restaurant in New York. The next member is my older sister Khloe. She is thirty-seven years old and is a big-time supermodel. I don't like her because of her narcissistic views on beauty and stands at six foot two inches or one hundred eighty-eight centimeters. Next up is my older brother Will who stands at six foot eight inches or two hundred three centimeters and is thirty-five years old. He is a quiet person and a famous painter with a net worth of twelve million dollars and he's a great drinking partner when you need to vent and complain about certain things. My grandmother Felicia is a great woman who is in her seventies, but oddly if not creepily looks like she's in her thirties. She stands at five foot eleven and three-quarter inches or one hundred eighty-two centimeters. She runs a dojo in the city and teaches a variety of martial arts and weapon training. Finally, there is my little sister Maria who is twenty years old and stands at six foot five inches or one hundred ninety-six centimeters. She is my favorite in my family because she was like a mother to me growing up and right now she's gone due to an incurable illness.
The one member of my family I never talk about is my mother. That's mostly because I never knew her growing up. She disappeared when I was five years old and said that we would meet one night later on. Because of her not being here while I grew up I got into a lot of fights and brutally beat my opponents. This later lead to my career as an MMA fighter with a win-loss record of one hundred fifty wins and zero losses. I trained intensely with my grandmother during my fighting days. I later got married to my wife Alissa. A beautiful woman who stood at six foot ten inches or two hundred eight centimeters. Everything was going great until she was murdered right in front of me while she was pregnant with our daughter. I was so heartbroken that I had almost committed suicide if it wasn't for my grandmother stopping me. I grieved for about ten months before I was ready to move on in life.
It was later that night after I visited my wife grave that everything would soon change. I returned home and began to cook something to eat before I head to my favorite tree in the forest. After eating, I grab a bottle of sake and head to the forest. I rested my back on my favorite tree and began to drink. After a couple of drinks, I look to the sky and see a shooting star. I silently wished to finally see my mother and after that, the world went white.

This is my first story. I wanted to make something and see how far I can go. I give credit to Alejin who made the cover art for the story and a shoutout to Shadicbro Brony for his story Equestrian Human Spirit which became the inspiration for my want to write stories. Please check out these two awesome people.
I slowly open my eyes and bask in awe of my surroundings from the bright light that encompassed me earlier. I look around and see a black void with stairs going up to who knows where. I begin walking for what seemed like hours and hours on end until I reach a strange door.
I open the door to see a room with thirteen chairs of differing heights surrounding me in a circle.
I then look for the door I exited from only to not see it as it disappeared. I begin to freak out as shadows start to emerge from the chairs. I look in front of me and see two pistols and a claymore. I pick them up and cautiously look around with both pistols in hand. Suddenly one of the shadow figures appears in front of me. I raise my right arm to fire the gun, but I just hear a click.
'Shit, they don't have ammo', I thought as I literally fell on my ass with the shadowy figure before me.
"Don't fret young master for we aren't here to harm you, but to serve and guide you." The shadowy figure said with a feminine voice.
"I hereby grant you power beyond natural laws of knowledge to aid you in your quest to seek the one you have lost." The shadowy figure continued as my body burst into flames.
"Be safe my young master for you will soon learn of your true nature." The shadowy figure finally said as I close my eyes and everything fades to black.
I wake up to see a bunch of trees around me and hear noises throughout what seems to be a forest. I get up and look around to nothing but trees until I spot a castle in the distance heading towards the deeper parts of the forest. I look down to see if I have dropped anything before I head to the castle.
After about a half hour walk I arrive at the castle. I then walked into the castle which upon closer inspection seem to be in a bit of ruin. I grab my claymore as I begin to explore the insides of the castle. After a few minutes, I hear footsteps and voices. I run behind a pillar next to some rubble and hide while looking at whoever is approaching.
I see three figures emerge from the hall and they looked like horses? I rubbed my eyes to see if I was being tricked, but lo and behold I see three bipedal horse-like creatures. They all seemed to female as I looked at their chests as they were walking about. The first one had light yellow fur with red hair and gold-colored eyes and was wearing a white shirt with jean shorts, the second one had white fur with pink and purple hair and green colored eyes and a horn in the middle of her forehead and was also wearing a white shirt but with a modest length skirt, and the third one had orange fur with purple hair and violet colored eyes and wings extending from her back and wearing a white shirt as well but with a black jacket and black shorts. I stayed hidden as I began to hear them talk.
"Applebloom, it's no use wasting our time here looking for a dumb book anymore!" The orange one said to the yellow one.
"Well, Scootaloo I think you're right on this one." The yellow one said back to the orange one.
"Girls, I think I found something." The white one said holding a book.
"Sweetie Belle, you found the book we're lookin' for." The yellow one said to the white one with joy.
I still remained hidden as I continued to observe the three girls until a group of wooden wolves had appeared in front of the girls. I immediately leaped out of hiding while grabbing a stick that was right beside me and ran towards the girls. I pulled out a lighter and set the stick I had on fire and threw it at what seemed to be the alpha of the pack.
"We have to run!!!" I yelled at the girls as I had run past them.
After running for a few minutes I noticed I was out of the castle and that the girls were right behind.
"Hey, are you all fine?" I asked as I quickly catching my breath from running.
"Yes, we are because of you." The white one said to me.
"So, I have a couple of questions as to what you girls are and where are we," I said to them as I found a spot to sit down.
"Well, mister we are ponies." The yellow one said as she and the other girls sat down with me.
"And we're in the Everfree Forest." The white one said to me as I began to process the information.
"Alright, so what are your names?" I asked them even though I knew them for earlier.
"I'm Applebloom. I'm Sweetie Belle. I'm Scootaloo. And we're the Cutie Mark Crusaders!" The girls said in unison.
"Alright then, well can you lead me to the nearest town, please?" I asked as I stood up.
"Sure, mister we would be glad to do so," Applebloom said with a smile as she and the girls stood up.
"Please, don't call mister it makes me a bit uncomfortable, my name is Vyncent," I said as I followed the girls heading north.
'Well, this is going to be an interesting journey.' I thought as I continued on following these girls to a nearby town.

I don't own any of the images in the story. Plus I'm a big Kingdom Hearts fan and I'm going to crossing over some elements of some anime I have watched as well.
Chapter II - A Nightmare Awakens
I continued walking with these three girls through the strange forest. I try to keep calm as I try to not freak out at what has happened so far. I begin to stare at these strange girls.
'They have what looks like fur and hooves?' I thought to myself as I stared intently.
"So, Vyncent what kinda creature are you because you are certainly not a pony?" Sweetie Belle asks me as we continue to traverse the forest.
"I'm referred to as a human," I said to Sweetie Belle as I began to mentally fix my brain without trying to make big expressions of panic and stress and was succeeding in my attempt.
"I've never heard about a human before," Scootaloo says looking at me with a little sparkle in her eyes.
"So, you three are ponies, but you all look different from each other?" I said with a puzzled tone ad a hint of curiosity.
"Well, ya see Vyncent there are four kinds o' ponies here in Equestria," Applebloom said with a smile on her face.
'Equestria, wait this doesn't sound right, I've never heard of this place' I thought as I looked at Applebloom as my mental composure slightly faltered for a moment.
"Yeah, you have Earth Ponies like Applebloom, Unicorns like Sweetie Belle, and Pegasi like me," Scootaloo said as she gestured to the other girls when she mentioned each girls name respectively.
"Ok, but that's three kinds, so what is the fourth?" I asked with a calm, yet slightly panicked voice.
"The fourth type are Alicorns, but there are only five of them," Sweetie Belle says as she stops at a small sign.
The rest of us stop at Sweetie Belle did. I saw the small town in the slight distance. I then looked at the sign and read it with a deadpanned stare.
'Welcome to Ponyville, Population 2,250'
'Seriously, the name of this town is Ponyville, who named this place!!!' I shouted in contents of my mind baffled and stupefied at the title of the town.
"Come on, lets head on down there!" Applebloom shouts as she rushes toward the town.
The rest of us follow suit and chase after Applebloom. We all then arrive in the city together and start to walk through the streets. The many residents of the town begin to look at me with fear in their eyes. After some time passed and many more frightened stares, I put on the hood from my jacket and look slightly down with some misery putting my hands in my pockets as I continued to follow the girls. As more time passed, my stomach begins to rumble and becomes very loud. The girls start to giggle a little while the other ponies ran away.
"It seems that somepony is quite hungry," Sweetie Belle says still giggling at me from the needing sounds emanating from my stomach.
"I am quite famished from all the traveling we've done" I responded with a slightly low tone of voice.
"Let's head to my house and get us some grub," Applebloom said as the rest of the girls later cheered at her suggestion.
After some more walking, we arrive at a place called Sweet Apple Acres. I begin to marvel at the wonderful apple trees while taking off my hood. I almost start salivating at the potential taste of these beautiful looking apples hanging from their trees. Applebloom smiles at my joyous expression as she picks an apple and tosses it to me. I take a final good look at the marvelous apple before taking a bite of it. My eyes open wide and pupils dilated at the sweet taste of the apple.
"This is such an amazing apple, Applebloom," I say to her devouring said apple until the stem remained.
"Aw shucks, it's nothin' special since mah family grows the apples here on the farm," Applebloom says slightly blushing at my comment.
We continue to walk until we see a barn in the distance. The girls and I head toward the barn as I was handed another apple by Applebloom. As we got closer to the barn, I see two ponies. One was an orange colored earth pony female with emerald green eyes, blonde colored hair, and tail, and looked about my height if not taller. She wore a cowboy hat and jeans with a white shirt and blue jean jacket that had what looked to be three red apples together on the top portion of sleeves. The other one was a light blue pegasus female with a set of pinkish-magenta colored eyes, short rainbow colored hair and tail, and seemed to be slightly shorter than me by about five centimeters. She wore a tomboyish look with short cargo pants, a light blue jacket, and a white shirt with a cloud shooting out a rainbow-colored lightning bolt in the center.
"Hey sis, guess what we found in the Everfree Forest," Applebloom says as she waves to the orange woman.
"Applebloom, there ya are, I was worried sick 'bout cha when I heard you went down to the Everfree," The orange woman said as she hugged Applebloom tightly.
"Applejack, we found somepony while me and the girls were there," Applebloom said as pointed to me.
I look at the orange woman and wave at her. The orange woman, named Applejack, then looked at me for a moment and then saw my eyes. She slowly pulls Applebloom behind her with the other girls and begins to move back slowly. I try to reach out and say something but before I can say anything a rainbow-colored blur hits me knocking me down and sending me a few meters back.
"Rainbow Dash, what was that for?" Applebloom says with a shocked tone.
"Whatever this demon looking thing is, it is going back to the Everfree Forest," Rainbow Dash says as she assumes a fighting stance.
"Alright then, I wanted to handle this peacefully but I guess this is how it's going down," I say getting up and entering a boxing stance with a slightly higher guard.
I rush in with my guard up at the blue pegasus and throw a few jabs at her when I got in range. She dodges the jabs and sends a kick to my right side which I block by raising my right leg. I throw right straight at her in the stomach. It lands as she slightly falters a bit before throwing a punch back at me. I roll under the punch and shift my weight throwing a left hook into her right side aiming for her liver. She gets hard and steps back a little from the force. I then get hit in my right side with a kick straight to my liver. I cough up some blood from the force and look over to see the orange pony was the culprit behind it.
"Now you go back to where ever ya came from, ya demon-lookin' vermin!" Applejack yells at me as she steps back from me.
I then focus my attention on the orange pony whose name I remember was Applejack. I raise my guard up once more and charge at her throwing a flurry of punches at her. She manages to block them all and sends a kick straight toward my chest. The sound of bones cracking reverberated as her kick hits its mark. I cough up some more blood and feel pain as I felt two or three either crack or shatter from the impact. Before she could draw her leg back, I grabbed her leg with my right hand and pull her toward me and land a left straight right in her face. She stumbles back from the punch. The blue pegasus flies off and I assume she's going to get help, but I put my focus back the pony in front of me. I get ready to charge in to finish the fight until I hear both a sonic boom in the distance and the sickening crack of bone being shattered. In my peripheral vision, I see the blue pegasus kicking my left side before the force of the impact sends me flying. I toss and tumble as I'm blown away and suddenly stop by colliding with a tree.
"Nice job, Dash" Applejack says dusting herself off.
"No sweat, AJ" Rainbow responds with a smug tone of voice.
The three girls looked in horror of what the two ponies had done to the human. Applebloom started to cry as she and the girls ran to the tree. I feel pain coursing through my body as blood begins to spew from my mouth. My vision becomes blurry as I try to make out what seems to be the girls trying to help me.
"Hey get from that thing!" Rainbow yells at the girls readying herself to attack again.
"He helped us escape from being killed by Timberwolves!" Sweetie Belle yells with tears in her eyes.
"Oh sweet Celestia, if that were the case then we need ta get 'im to the hospital" Applejack suddenly realizing that Sweetie Belle was telling the truth.
My vision begins to go in and out due to the pain and blood loss. I then see the girls as they look sad as if they were crying. I try to move but I'm stunned by the pain.
'Damn it, I can't move and I'm gonna... die' I thought as the pain began to get worse.
The thought of death began to run through my mind and the fear of it begins to rise. I felt my heartbeat increase and my blood pumping faster and faster. My shallow and irregular breathing began to calm itself and the pain began to lessen as the need to fight started to awaken deep in my subconscious.
'You're going to die and these girls are crying,' A feminine voice says in my head.
'What can I do, I can barely move at this point' I respond to the voice with familiarity.
'It is simple to win if you let me wake up because we can never lose if we fight together' The voice says with a sweet tone as to coax me into doing what it wants.
I try to resist it and fight against what it wants. My eyes begin to glow a deep red as I open them wide at the thought of losing. The blood in my body begins to pump faster and feels like its boiling.
'That's it, now time to awaken a true nightmare upon those who see us as weak' The voice says as the image of a familiar woman appears and kisses me before fading away.
Applejack and Rainbow Dash slowly walk over to the tree ready to help the being they injured to a hospital. Applejack suddenly stops and begins to shake uncontrollably as fear starts to course through her body. Rainbow feels the same fear as Applejack and stops as well. The girls then cower in fear as they see the bloodied human stand up.
"I w-will never LOSE!!!!!" I shouted as my pupils sharpen looking cat-like and my eyes glow a deep red.
"W-w-what even are you?" Rainbow Dash asks with fear heavy in her words.
"You wanted to fight a demon, well here is one shot because I'll be your worst nightmare," I say as I smile revealing my canine teeth have sharpened to resemble fangs.
I charge in as I let out a loud battle cry that could be heard throughout the entire farm and echo toward the town itself. The blood of a warrior coursing through my veins. The blood of what many considered a monster, beast, and demon alike. The blood of one who runs on primal instinct.
