Evolution

At the hospital, rain lightly tapped against the window of Rainbow Dash's room. She was told to stay due to her heat stroke so Twilight, Spike, Rarity, and Fluttershy stood by their bed ridden friend as she was recovering from her extremely high body temperature. The doctors said she'd heal up by tomorrow as long as her body temperature doesn't go up anymore.

After sometime had passed her temperature went down and she fell asleep. Visiting hours were over. The four left the room but before they could leave, the sky darkened as violent thunder storm erupted. They couldn't leave so they worried for Applejack but assured themselves that she probably stayed inside somewhere safe as well. After an hour, Spike had fallen asleep in a chair next to twilight, while she had a conversation with Rarity. Fluttershy sat in a chair holding her legs against her body. Her face had a blank expression, they knew how easily scared she was but when they tried calling to her she didn't respond. It was only until Twilight stood up and nudged her did Fluttershy snap out of her state but denied any in comfort she was in. After sometime of reassuring her, Twilight was convinced that Fluttershy was alright so she went back to her seat, but Rarity knew that wasn't true. But she had to keep it a secret for her friend.

They remained in silence. a few minutes had passed before Rarity noticed something gray stick out from the satchel Twilight had been carrying  "What's that?"  she asked pointing at the bag. Twilight turned, and pulled out an old book. Rarity had a funny little thought in her head but dismissed it as she took a closer look at the cover. It was a strange picture, a gray wolf on one side and a rather large grayish blue pony on the other. A second thought formed.

"That pony bears a frightening resemblance to Tavo. " said Rarity "Yea you could say that?" said twilight under her breath.

"What was That?"

"Nothing."

Upon search, Rarity made an interesting discovery. "Where is the writers name?" she asked "See, that's one of the things i discovered about this book."

"Really? What else?"

"Well, aside from not having an author, i've been doing a little research and found no other copies of this book anywhere else in Equestria, nor any single mention of its existence." Said Twilight.

Rarity opened the book and on the front page was the same phrase Twilight had read: "When there is a killer, there is a savior, Choose Your fate?."

"What does this mean Twilight?"

"I have a few ideas but i haven't come to a conclusion yet."

Rarity started shuffling through pages and one told of a creature or king, yet the most strangest thing was after the first page, came a description and warning that came late of a creature that matched Tavo and the dreaded Beastking. But after the first pages it went into a third page with a different phrase from the first:

"Until light fades from our hearts, let us know that there is always a chance, when the world fades, let us know that he will save us from death." The same question that floated around Twilight s' head the first time she read this, popped into Rarity's. who was this "He" that it spoke of? She turned the second page and it seemed stranger yet holds a message behind it: "For all who lose their souls to evil and madness. For all who lose hope in a god forsaken world, for all who fear everything around us, let us know that the answer, the key, the secret, the cure…..is love. The everlasting gift from the heavens, the key to life and our very existence would be nothing if it wasn't for love."

There was silence after that.

When she turned the page, there was nothing. She flipped to another page and again nothing. "Why are there only five written pages?" asked Rarity, "That's another strange thing about it, it originally had three pages but when we were on the train heading to Canterlot, i found this page and the picture on the cover right now is different from when i found it." Said Twilight. Rarity handed Twilight the book when all of a sudden an envelope dropped out of it.

They both looked down at the envelope with an eagle etched on it curiously. They exchanged looks and glanced over at Fluttershy, who was already asleep. Twilight reached down and picked up the note "Where did this come from?" said Twilight. She opened the envelop and with anticipation slowly pulled out a note written in a language unfamiliar to them " De Humano a poni?...what does that even mean?" asked Twilight. Rarity shrugged, they were both stumped, they couldn't understand a single word other than Poni which sounds a lot like pony Celestia's name written at the bottom.  "What does the princess have to do with this. " Said Twilight just remembering to give the book to Celestia anyway. "Agreed, but we must wait until the thunderstorm clears. I'll get my hair all wet." said Rarity. She agreed and put the book back in the bag when all of a sudden she realized something "Where's pinkie Pie?"

-Earth-

Gray skies to which very little sunlight ever broke through, filled the abandoned city with grief and despair. Very few buildings still stood: some had collapsed, some had been left to ruin from the years of degradation, while a few still had some life to it. The streets were devoid of any life though, most of the people stayed inside ever since these cities were abandon and left behind for the Federation's state-of-the-art fortress cities. Broken down cars were spread throughout the streets while chain gangs and mobs of thugs and outlaws terrorized anyone who stayed out.

The only thing roaming through the street of this wasteland was a single man with a light build. He carried on his back an AK-47 with a hammer and sickle crossing painted on its hilt. He was short, blond with a green streak of hair; blue eyed, short, and wore a torn light brown sleeveless vest, dirty skinny jeans and mid top shoes. He wore a green and white bandanna over his mouth and carried two trench knives around his waist. He walked through the streets, carrying a sack over his shoulder; he looked around for anything out of the ordinary. He heard the rustling of garbage cans in an alley way next to him and suddenly a large group of thugs armed with chains, crowbars, and bats walked out. They glared at him before one of the larger ones spoke "Where'd you come from little guy." He said, the wanderer looked at his sack then back at the gang "Does it concern you where i came from." He said with an accent. One of the thugs yelled "Hey, look a short ass Russian!" and they began laughing.

"Oh well, if you don't mind handin that sack over you can go on your merry little way comrade." he said.

"I'm not Russian, and why should i?" said the wanderer, the mob grinned "because we needs a little something to fill us up?" he said suddenly pulling out a pistol. More thugs emerged from the dark alleys some carrying shotguns and rifles.

In a flash the wanderer pulled out his knives and spun them around his fingers so fast that they cut the very air around them "Come and get it shrimp dick." He jeered. The thug bit his lips "Teach this mother fucker a lesson." He said. The thugs snickered and grinned and formed a circle around him and pointed their guns at him. The wanderer stood there and raised his knives. Unbeknownst to them, there was a small child with jet black hair standing behind a windowless opening in a building. He stood their and watched at what would happen. As soon as one of them raised their bat,s he covered his eyes.

Gunshots, screams, yelps, and blood curtailing cries of pain went out and then a bullet whizzed past him. Then suddenly there was silence just as it began it ended in less than ten seconds. The boy slowly pulled away his hands and saw the wanderer standing in a circle of 30 bleeding dead thugs and not a single scratch on him. The wanderer turned and faced the child in the distance. The wanderer waved to him and the child waved back.

Then the blond wanderer kept walking. the child's father came and looked out the window and stared at the wanderer, the child looked up "Dad, who's that?" asked the child "That is one of the generals of the army of psychos and the descendant of the legendary Siberian wolf soldier." replied the father. As the wanderer kept making his way to his destination the father said to his child " And he's probably the last living psycho left." And then the wanderer disappeared from sight.

-In a dream-

Fluttershy was frolicking through a beautiful meadow with all her furry little friends giggling and singing and feeling as jovial as can be. She found a giant tree than sat down against its trunk. Feeling the warm rays of sunlight kiss her skin she closed her eyes and let out a deep sigh. This peace was disturbed when she felt a familiar presence. She opened her eyes to be greeted by a giant mountain and wandered where it came from. She stood up and began walking towards it.

When she made it at the foot of the mountain, she saw a figure in the distance. She began to run toward it. when she finally came upon the figure, she was horrified at what she saw.

A  hooded man was nailed by his hands and feet  into the side of the mountain with giant spikes across a painting of a white inverted pentagram. Fluttershy gasped and ran up to the man and tried pulling the spikes away but they were to deep. She looked over to the man whose head castes down "Don't worry I'll get you out." she said pulling at the spikes. Suddenly the man spoke " Do not fear for me child for my fate has sealed me to this mountain." Fluttershy stared at him wondering why his raspy voice sounded so familiar. He spoke again "Could i ask you a question milady?" The man suddenly lifted his head and faced her, Fluttershy gasped and cupped her hands over her mouth. The man was obviously advanced in age,  had a ripped open smile that revealed bloody teeth and only one eye." Do you realize you haven't been as fearful as you usually are?"  Tears dropped from Fluttershy's face when she recognized the face "T-Tavo?"
