Chapter 10: The violent Species
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Psycho? - but you ain't Crazy." Said Applejack, Tavo turned to her "Nah you're talking about the screwie's. They're humans with messed up heads." Said Tavo looking down at an X-ray of a human "so what does that make you?" asked Rainbow Dash glaring at him"Me-technically I'm not even human." The doctor had calmed down but still felt a little uneasy around him "so...what are you then?" he asked, Tavo stared at his X-ray before taking a deep breath "Well in short i'm a species that was thought to have been extinct and forgotten. Our true name could never be found so instead we were given a new name – Psychos." Said Tavo. "And what is a Psycho?" asked Twilight before sitting down on a chair "Basically a psycho is a more violent version of a human and my body developed by…" he suddenly stopped in the middle of his sentence, realizing he had said too much and rubbed his scar. His expression turned blank and his eyes down casted like he was remembering something. They gazed at him intently; waiting for him to finish his sentence and who it was he mentioned "by what?" asked Twilight, he suddenly shook out of his blank state "…Uh never mind." Said Tavo. They glared at him. They knew he was hiding something. He was always mysterious and it could have passed but now with this new situation that's spread all over the world and him being the only one with possible answers, he's still keeping secrets.
"Tavo you've been keepin secrets from us since you've gotten here from who knows where and now when we need Answers from ya, you still aint being honest with us." said applejack, hinting frustration in her tone. Tavo took notice of their frustration from looking in their eyes but even though he wanted to tell them, it still wasn't right. "It's personal, plus you don't need answers from me, you girls are smart i know you can figure it out." he said calmly before walking towards the door. Just before he could lay his hand on the doorknob Rainbow Dash flew in between him and the door, her face filled with Frustration "Enough with all the secrets "Mister-Psycho" all you've ever done is wonder aimlessly through the Town not saying a single word to Anypony, making everypony you meet terrified, and then you start killing off ponies, and now where stuck looking like you and you're still keeping secrets from us, Your nothing but a murderous Jerk!" yelled Rainbow Dash furiously. There was a long pause off silence after that. Even though they've never actually seen Tavo angry, the fact that he could kill the princess scared them.
Applejack was about to step in when all of sudden, Tavo lifted and extended his right arm and placed his hand against the door next to Rainbow. He lowered his head and leaned in close to Dash. "well, your right about one thing…." He began. Suddenly She felt a searing pain run up from her feet to her neck. as she was about to push him back he raised his head and revealed a pair of pitch black holes where his eyes should be. A thin yellow circle formed in his eyes, followed by white dots for pupils. yellowish vein-like streaks appeared giving him a blood shot appearance. She felt a burning inside of her. "…..I am a murderous jerk, but i don't need to be reminded of that little fact." said Tavo in a dark tone. " And if you feel a burning inside you Than be glad I'm a nice person or my eyes would be glowing right now and you'd be a pile of ash In less than a minute." she trembled and sweat as the giant towered over as her internal organs felt like they were being roasted over a fire. Tavo felt the surge of his violent tendencies return and couldn't remember who the girl in front of him was. Applejack suddenly Yelled "Tavo, stop!" he suddenly jerked his head, showing them his horrid altered left eye. They froze in terror while feeling the burning.
He suddenly remembered who the girl was and realize's that he is taking it too far. He reverted his eyes and step away from Dash. She dropped to the floor and panted heavily, clutching her entire body. He opened the door and walked out and as the group ran over and knelt down near Rainbow Dash, Tavo turned and faced them " i won't tell you much, but what i will say is that i don't have the answers to return you to normal, so like it or not, you'r stuck the way you are." said Tavo before walking down the hallway and out of sight.
Applejack and Fluttershy helped Rainbow dash up. They sweat and trembled a little thinking about the eye and the burning it gave. "oh my goodness, Rainbow Dash are you alright?" asked Fluttershy, RD couldn't stop panting and couldn't get a complete sentence out "Y-yea... I'm F-" before she could finish her sentence Dash collapsed to the floor, so they held her up. The doctor automatically recognized the problem "She's suffering from heat stroke and possible dehydration but how could her body temperature change so rapidly?" He said before helping the girls leading them to a bed. She had to stay and and recover, so Twilight, spike, Fluttershy, And Rarity stayed with her while Applejack goes to get an Explanation from Tavo. Before leaving, the doctor informed her that a lot of Ponies that saw the devastation and the after effects blame him.
Tavo had arrived at Sweet Apple Acres, it had started raining an hour ago before he left the hospital. Looking around he notices Big Mac, wearing a rain coat over denim overalls over a red shirt, brown leather gloves and boots standing out in the rain. Despite being shorter than Tavo, Big Mac looked far more muscular than him. He was probably waiting for Applejack to come home. "Tavo, wheres Applejack?" asked Big Mac "I think she'll be staying at the hospital. Rainbow Dash had a little Problem" Replied Tavo. Big Mac continued waiting, and Tavo left him. Tavo trudged across the muddy ground not caring about the amount of dirt or mud on his boots, until he reached the barn doors. He pulled open both doors and walked inside. He grabbed a rag hanging by the door and wiped himself off. He closed the door's and looked around for anybody inside other than the animals. Upon seeing nothing out of the ordinary he walks to a bale of hay and sits down. As he wipes off the water from his forehead, he begins recalling something, like Rainbow dash's outburst against him and how right she was. Or how the ponies he walked by stared at him the same way anyone who wasn't a psycho stared at him in his world. Of course it was something he was more used to than the smiles and waves he received from them. But one thing bugged him, even though he was accustomed to not feel anything for anyone he hurts, when he burned Rainbow Dash, he felt something eating away at him, something he remembers called guilt.
Either way it didn't matter, tomorrow he'd be leaving Ponyville. For what he did they wouldn't want him around anymore, it was just natural. As he planed where to go, he suddenly notices something sticking out from a pile of hay. He walks over to it and see's that it is a black handle with cloth wrapping over it. Wait, it can't be He thought. He gripped the black handle and slowly pulled out a long metallic, silvery blade. He ran his fingers over the shining reflective blade, he saw his reflection on the blade. He felt waves of comfort and confusion hit him as he finally recognizes it "Xico?"
Note: I should have mentioned that i'm not an expert on cloths in the last chapter. Also to The Music Man, i am sorry for swearing.
