Rarifruit's POV.
I looked at my hands, as a smile grew on my face.

It's been only a few minutes since the spirit of RubberFruit merged with me and became one, and yet it feels like we've been one for an eternity.

In the silence of the graveyard, I heard a voice speak from the other side. I snuck over to investigate, and found another Soldier in blue clothing. He had a white mustache and mutton chops, wore a pair of shades and a pirate captain's hat. The soldier was standing next to some sort of dispenser.

He pointed to the dispenser and named it, "Dispenser Pie!"

A grin grew on my face. A perfect victim to test my new powers on. I snuck around the Soldier, turning his attention away from his dispenser. Once his attention was completely gone, I used my magic to merge with the dispenser.

"Boo!" I shouted.

The Soldier jumped in startle and turned to me. I smiled and returned to normal. The Soldier was still frozen from my actions. I activated my magic and waved my hand. The Soldier's body glowed in a purple hue and shifting and his bones cracked into a bar of chocolate.

I used my telekinesis to grab the bar and ate it. I smiled in delight. Tasty and sweet. Like the chocolate didn't come from a Soldier at all.

Suddenly, I sensed a presence behind me. I turned and it was a Heavy. He wore an iron helmet and a jaw-piece. He pointed at me and laughed. I smiled at him and used my magic. However my magic was ineffective against his helmet.

The Heavy laughed, "Stupid Pony!" Then grabbed me by the neck, "I am going to kill you, and kill you, and kill you!"

Before I could beg for my life, a large bell rang. The Heavy and I looked at the bell tower and it was midnight.

Suddenly, just as the bell finished ringing, I felt something twitching inside me. It was welling up in me and my right arm was feeling funny. I looked at my arm and a strange gauntlet appeared. Where did this come from?

The twitching grew more intense and power welled up inside me. I had to let it out!

I screamed and the power released an enormous surge of energy, forcing the Heavy to let go of me and I fell to my knees.

Once everything calmed down inside me, and I caught my breath, I opened my eyes and fell different. I looked myself over. My fur coat is now a gleaming white. My mane and tail are now a vibrant pink with purple streaks. My clothes have changed color too.

My turtleneck sweater was now a dark purple. My grey pants were now dark blue. I looked over to my Cutie Mark and it has changed as well. From three blue diamonds, it's now three diamonds and an purple apple.

I turned my attention to the mysterious gauntlet attached to my right arm. Where did this thing come from? Why did it appear on my arm? Is it the source of the twitching and welling up power inside me?

As if a reply, the gauntlet glowed and a massive surge of energy pulsed through me. Like I was going through an Uber Charge. It faded after a few seconds.

That felt... Amazing. Like I'm a whole new Pony than I was before.

The Heavy spoke to me, daring me to fight. I smirked and waved my hand at him. My magic had hold of him in a powerfully crushing force. I chuckled in delight.

Then the gauntlet glowed all on its own. I felt something appear behind me. I looked and it was a pair of ghostly claws. A smirk grew on my face, as I returned my attention to the Heavy.

"Kill him." I instructed the claws.

One of the claws grabbed hold of the Heavy and the other grabbed his head. It ripped his head off with ease. His neckbone and streams of arteries and muscles hung from his neck. The Heavy fell to the ground and the claws disappeared.

I picked up the helmet and jaw-piece, "Miine!"

Just then, another unicorn appeared beside me. I looked at him. He was a unicorn stallion that shared my old color-scheme. He wore a pair of shades and a fedora.

"Umm... Hello." He greeted with a wave.

"Hello. Can I help you?" I asked.

"Uh... Yeah." He nodded, "I was wondering if I could have that helmet, you've got there." I looked at the helmet, "You see, I'm a travelling salesman that sells the rarest of trinkets." He looked at the helmet, "That helmet is a true rarity and will sell nicely to the highest buyer."

I rubbed my chin in thought, then looked at the gauntlet. The gauntlet was itching me to take the helmet and leave, but now that I think about it. I don't want or need the helmet. I just wanted to kill the Heavy for threatening me and almost killing me.

I picked up the helmet and gave it to the unicorn, "Here, you can have it. You need it more than I do."

The unicorn looked at me, "Really?" I nodded. He took the helmet and smiled, "Thank you, Miss..."

"Rarifruit, and don't mention it." I smiled back.

Guess the Element of Generosity still resides within me after all.
