Why am I here? Why do I have to carry such an unsightly blight? Why do I exist? These are questions I asked myself over and over again a while back, it was something I could not get over even if I tried, but recent events made it so I could be a hero, a savior, a true person in another one’s life. While I didn’t have much in the first place, I gained something more when I came to this plane of existence, friends, true happiness and love itself… I didn’t always have it though. I was once a normal teenage boy, wanting to have a life that I could consider normal, one where I could raise a family, one where I wouldn’t have to fear anyone or anything! I was 18 years old, had short jet black hair and ocean blue eyes, I had been wearing a black, unzipped, zip up hoodie with a red shirt underneath it, as well as a black leather jacket on top of it, having a red tribal symbol on the jacket, it also had a red interior rather than a standard black one. I was also wearing black jeans and pure black running shoes, I was dressed an awful lot like Alex Mercer from Prototype, with a few differences in appearance, my own name was Alex, but it wasn’t Mercer that was my last name, it was actually Romero. Yeah I had the same name as the famous movie director, so what of it? Anyway, I had most likely blinked or I had fallen asleep for a few seconds or something? I didn’t know at the time, but one moment I was in my own bed, then without any kind of warning, I am in some kind of forest! I felt different in those moments, like I was changing… mutating… Eventually, it started to get painful, almost to the point of being unbearable! “W-what’s… happening!?” I demanded, I eventually clutched my chest and thrashed around, wanting an end to this, I felt my chest somehow expand and contract all on it’s own several times! I had tears running down my face as I was screaming at the top of my lungs in absolute agony at whatever was happening to me, I couldn’t take it much longer, I was about to die… then it all went black.

I woke up later looking up at the sky, I bolted upright, wondering precisely what just happened. “What was that?” I wondered, I didn’t look or feel any different, and I certainly didn’t remember taking any drugs or drinking anything alcoholic, so what happened? Before I could contemplate any further, a nasty smell waded into the clearing where I was, it smelled a lot like rotten eggs in a city dump, washed with Boston’s harbor water! I turned when I heard something snap and crack, what I saw… I could almost not believe my eyes; they were made entirely out of wood of various kinds, their eyes were glowing a sickly green, they were in the shape of wolves, I admit, I should have been afraid… but I didn’t feel a twinge of fear in their presence. I somehow couldn’t feel any kind of fear even if I tried to in that instance, instinct told me something, that I was actually able to take these things on with ease. I didn’t understand at that moment in time, but I thought about a sharp weapon of any kind, and I felt my right hand move all on it’s own!

When I looked down at it, I saw black tendrils all over my hand, converting it into something completely different, when the tendrils retracted, they revealed my hand, except it wasn’t much of a human hand anymore, it was completely black with glowing red parts in some areas, on the tips of each of my now blackened digits were single long and razor sharp claws, black with silver edges, almost like metal. My transformation only meant one thing; I was an Evolved, just like in the Prototype games! I didn’t have an immediate reaction to it though, my shock somehow remaining internal, I turned back to the wolves with a bit of a smirk on my face, their own faces filled with genuine shock. One surprisingly young looking one leaped at me in cockiness, I ducked underneath his bite and plunged my blades into his chest, I then twisted and slammed him into the ground, sending shards, chips and pieces of wood everywhere. The Wolves that arrived earlier were backing away slowly, trying to get away from me in the safest way possible. Unfortunately for them… slowly… was a poor choice in speed. I ran at them faster than I have ever ran and slashed one of the wolves into sawdust and morphed my other arm into a long, curved blade, I moved faster than one would expect and sliced another wolf into pieces.

Next, I stabbed another wolf in the stomach area and spun it around on one of my claws, using my blade, I slowly brought it in towards my claw, the wolf was sliced into bits because of a combination of it’s high speed spinning and my blade slicing clean through the mixed & matched wood. I then threw the last piece into a tree, I then turned to the last wolf, in an act of final desperation or something, it charged right at me, with a fury in it’s eyes I had only seen in a cornered animal, I scoffed and jumped right as it was about to skewer me, I spun in the air, readied my massive blade and brought it down on top of the last wolf, I saw the fear in it’s eyes as I sliced it clean in half. Once I was certain that those things wouldn’t be able to come back, whatever force possessing me left and my eyes widened in abject horror as I looked upon the carnage that ensued, never before had I been the cause of something so brutal. Tears once more went down my face as I couldn’t do anything more than run, run somewhere… someplace… I could not stop thinking about just what had happened to those poor wooden wolves, even if they intended to kill me, I don’t think even they deserved that!

I just continued to run as I saw nothing more than a blur of trees and boulders rush across my vision, I then noticed something off in the distance; a town. ‘Perhaps they would be kind enough to help me?’ I asked myself mentally, I slowed to a more reasonable jogging pace and continued to the town. I then slowed to a walk, slowly moving through the town itself. The inhabitants were not humans as I thought they were, they were human in general shape, but not much else, they walked on 2 legs, had opposable thumbs and had their arms and legs in the right places to pass as humanoid, but the little features were kind of off for me, they had their ears on the tops of their heads, just on the top corners of their skulls! Not just that, but the most abnormal lower body part they had was an equine tail growing out of their backs just above their posteriors. The final feature being their colors, of which they were like a mix and match bonanza, a slew of several shades and mixes of several kinds of colors. There were also a few similarities between a few of them, some had a single horn on their foreheads, some had large wings on their backs the last had neither of those.

I didn’t make myself too noticeable, I walked along my path until I came upon a rather strange sight; a tree, carved out and made into a surprisingly beautiful design, I hadn’t really thought of it much, so I walked around a bit more, taking in some sights. Eventually however, I was approached by a completely mint green girl who had a few white streaks running through her hair and tail, on the forehead was a horn that I could have sworn should have belonged to a unicorn. She was wearing a white shirt under a white hoodie with a golden harp on the chest of her hoodie, on her legs were blue jeans and she had no footwear. “Hello, are you lost?” She asked me, I shook my head.

“No, I’m just wandering… Taking a look around the place. I guess you could say I’m new around here.” I said with a chuckle.

“Well, that’s okay, I guess you don’t know about the Summer Sun Celebration then?” She asked, I raised an eyebrow and thought about it for a few seconds.

“Actually, you’re right, I’ve never heard of an event with that title.” I stated, to which, she smiled widely.

“Then you’re in for a treat, trust me!” She said, I shrugged, not certain as to take her words for merit or not.

“What exactly happens upon the event taking place?” I asked.

“Well, our princess, Celestia, raises the sun itself to bring day onto the very land on which we walk.” My eyes went wide.

“Er… are you sure the sun can’t do it on it’s own?” I asked, the female shook her head.

“No, as convenient as that would be, we don’t have that luxury.” I just shook my head, clearing my thoughts for a few seconds.

“Mind if I know your name?” I asked.

“Not at all, call me Lyra.” Said Lyra, smiling, to which, I smiled back.

“Call me Alex, mind showing me around a bit?” Lyra beamed at my question.

“Sure!” The next few hours were spent on me and Lyra having a tour around the town, I saw the town hall, a few places of interest, a few being Sweet Apple Acres, Sugarcube Corner, The Carousel Boutique, among others. I was also introduced to Lyra’s best friend and housemate Bon Bon, who had pink and purple hair, about half and half, which ended in a curl on both the hair and tail. Eventually, Lyra and Bon Bon had been invited to a party held in the Ponyville library, which I had learned was the tree building I had seen earlier.

“Why exactly is a party of all things being held inside a library!? Aren’t they supposed to be a place of peace and quiet?” I had asked, shocked that it was perfectly legal to do so, Lyra and Bon Bon just shrugged at my question.

“It’s Pinkie Pie, I’d rather not question her antics.” Bon Bon stated.

Later on, I had taken a bit of a stroll when I found Lyra and Bon Bon once more. “Hey! Alex, the Summer Sun Celebration is about to start! Wanna come?”

Lyra asked me, I shrugged. “Sure, why not?” I said lazily, I needed something to take my mind off the wooden wolf massacre, so I decided to take this in stride, hell, if I was lucky enough, I could most likely actually talk to the princess if it was at all possible. We gathered in the main Ponyville building where the celebration was about to take place and waited. Upon the supposed unveiling of the princess herself however, the podium was empty!

"Where is the Princess?! What's going on?!" That was one of the many things I heard the crowd demand upon there being no princess there at all! A few of the ponies got extremely worried as the mayor of the town tried to keep everyone present calm, but I knew this would eventually blow into a full scale panic if nothing would happen. What I didn’t count on however, was just if something would happen, a deep, navy mist, with what seemed like stars within, rose from the cracks in-between the floorboards of the stage and thickened restricting much view of the stage itself.

Eventually, some of the mist solidified while the rest cleared, revealing one of, if not, the tallest woman I had ever seen in my life! She had to have been taller than 6'7 at the most, a large contrast to my 5'9, her coat was completely black, her body wearing crystal blue armor that had an elegant design, it moved seamlessly with every movement she made, it didn’t make much noise and it looked quite pretty. Her eyes were like something I would have seen on a feline or a reptile, a single slit for the pupil, with the rest being bright cyan, upon her head was a helm that fit neatly over her horn, which was extremely long, but it made sense for her height. On her back however, were a pair of wings, different from the normal Pegasus wings I had seen form before with Lyra and Bon Bon’s friends. They had feathers, but were shaped more like a bat’s, with the design being more intimidating and most likely could perform more extreme maneuvers. Her hair and tail were the same navy blue as the mist she arrived in and seemed to have no physical mass, given how it flowed like it was in a gentle breeze, despite there being no breeze to begin with. On the chest of her armor was a Fleur-de-lis designed chest plate that held a peculiar symbol; a crescent moon with a purple background. “Oh… my beloved subjects. It's been so long since I saw your precious sun loving faces.” She said, while the last part was spat out rather than spoken normally, mostly out of anger I assumed.

Most of the pony’s eyes widened upon seeing her while one, a mare with rainbow hair, had a look of anger on hers. “What did you do with our princess?!” She demanded, she had as mentioned before, a literal rainbow as her hair and tail colors, she was wearing a single white undershirt with a cloud embroidered on its front, a rainbow colored lightning bolt striking from the cloud. She was also wearing blue jeans. She looked like she was going to straight up Football tackle the intruder (Which I had to give her props for, considering how most others were too shocked t do anything.), at least, until she was stopped by another pony holding onto her tail, keeping her from going anywhere near the intruder. The newcomer just laughed before she seemed insulted.

“Am I not royal enough for you? Don't you know who I am?” She demanded before she was answered by a completely pink girl, she guessed several names, of which included ‘princess meany pants’, ‘princess dark’ among other ridiculous titles.

Thankfully, before she could continue, the same female who stopped that rainbow haired character shoved an apple into the pink girl’s mouth, silencing her temporarily. “Does my crown no longer count now that I have been imprisoned for a thousand years?” She asked once more, making me confused as I didn't believe anything could live for that long. "Did you not recall the legend? Did you not see the signs?" She demanded, I didn't hear any legends about anyone like her, and I wasn't from here so, I didn't know what she was talking about. When I thought this couldn't get any worse, I saw a single girl step forward.

"I did! And I know who you are!" She stated, making every single person in the building look directly at her. "You're the Mare in the Moon. Nightmare Moon!" The entire crowd gasped as I was, unfortunately, left in the dark about the whole thing.

"Very well, if you know all about me, then you know why I have freed myself, don't you?" She asked, the purple unicorn didn't seem to be comfortable saying her next words.

"You're going to... going to..." She obviously didn't want to say what she knew. It was almost as though she had to force herself to speak, she seemed that afraid of her own words.

"Remember this day little ponies, for it was your last. From this moment forth, the night will last FOREVER!" The now identified Nightmare Moon laughed. The mayor, whom I assumed to want to know where their ACTUAL princess was, sent out her guards to seize Nightmare Moon. With no effort whatsoever, Nightmare Moon simply blasted the guards away with powerful lightning bolts straight from her horn, leaving the guards injured. I knew I had no choice, I slowly began to step forward.

"Alex, what are you doing!?" Lyra demanded as I sighed.

"Someone has to stop her." I stated simply.

"By throwing your own life away!?" I just shook my head at Lyra's honestly reasonable question.

"Just watch, that should be proof enough to say that I'm not normal." I said simply once again, heading directly for the podium, the entire place went completely silent as I calmly walked right up to Nightmare Moon, close enough so that she was just out of my arms reach and vise versa.

She just stared at me and I stared back, neither of us giving any ground. "Who are you, being so bold as to walk up to me like this?" She asked me.

"I am Alex, just...Alex, and you, are a threat to this world." I stated as Nightmare Moon's eyes narrowed.

"I have never wished any harm upon my subjects ever! How dare you accuse me of such a thing!" She said, her voice seething in some barely contained anger. I sighed.

"I dare? I dare because it is the truth, you would be killing us all. This side of the planet would become a frozen wasteland, do you not know that? Or are you too ignorant of your own mistakes!?" I demanded, Nightmare Moon looked at me with shock filled eyes before they were filled with rage.

"You speak lies! For trying to lie to me, you will be punished!" She shouted before she unleashed the same kind of electric spell that she used on the guards on me, literally just moments before the electricity struck me, I bent over backwards, the electricity just going past my nose by about a milometer, so close I could smell the very ozone from it.

Once the electricity flew past me, I slowly and deliberately bent back up into a proper standing position to see Nightmare Moon look at me with the most shocked expression I had ever seen on anyone's face. No one had probably been able to dodge it before, I just smirked at her creepily. "I have many surprises too." I stated, right as I was about to morph my arm into a weapon, Nightmare Moon transformed into that navy mist and left the area, I didn't bother to give chase. I turned around and saw the other people within the building just stare at me in abject shock. I just returned the stares for a few seconds before I noticed that girl who knew Nightmare Moon from earlier was running out of the building in quite the hurry, so I gently got off of the stage and made my way to the door. No one seemed obligated to stop me, all of them stepped out of my way, not a single bit of resistance. That was until that rainbow haired girl I had seen fly right in front of me, blocking the door.

"Hold it right there buster!" She demanded as I stopped and looked at her, directly into her rose colored eyes.

"I don't think so, cause right now, a far more conspicuous character is getting away right now." I stated, making the cyan girl turn around and spot the girl running off. The cyan girl looked back at me, then turned back to the purple girl, then back to me then back again to the girl, then me again before she groaned and relented.

"Fine, but you've got some explaining to do mister!" She stated, I shrugged.

"I understand, now we run!" I said as she nodded and followed me after the girl with 4 others tailing us, one literally being dragged the whole way. I wasn't sure if I should reveal my Evolved status just yet, perhaps at a later, more opportune time? I didn't know.

We followed the girl directly to the library, when we went inside, she was running around, tearing books off of shelves and flipping through them like mad, obviously searching for something within. "No! No! Not that! Definitely not that! Come on! Where is it?!" She was a slightly dark shade of lavender, with her hair/tail color having a mix of color, mainly a dark purple while a single bright pink stripe ran through both the hair and tail, she was also wearing a bright white blouse with a purple skirt. When the door was opened, the cyan girl immediately busted in and grabbed the purple one by the arms and held her closely, glaring at her with a serious intent.

"Who are you!? Are you a spy or something!?" She demanded before I yanked her back by pulling on her tail.

"Back off, let me ask the questions." I stated with my hardest glare, the cyan girl nodded as the rest of the people who followed us came in through the door. One was the pink girl I had seen earlier, she was completely pink with both her body and hair/tail colors a different shade of pink, her body was a brighter shade while her hair was slightly darker. she also had ocean blue eyes, she’s wearing a pink undershirt that’s probably many sizes too small, exposing her stomach, a pink zip up sweater and a pink skirt. Another was the same blond girl that I had seen pull the rainbow haired one back from tackling Nightmare Moon, she was mainly orange with freckles adorning her cheeks, her hair/mane was put into a ponytail (Kind of ironic considering how she was a pony in their own eyes) and was as mentioned before, blonde. Her eyes were emerald green and she also had a stetson atop her head, her clothes were that of a primarily orange with tan plaid shirt with blue jeans. The next was a feast for the eyes; she was a pure snow white, ocean blue eyes with long lashes, purple hair and tail that was just right in shade to compliment her overall physical appearance as well as her attire, it was of a silk make, a mix of a dress and normal clothing, a skirt securely around her waist and a female dress shirt on her torso, a golden belt around the aforementioned waist. on her head was a horn, indicating her classification as a unicorn. Another one was a bright buttery yellow, pink hair/tail and exceptional turquoise eyes, her attire was of a white shirt and a green skirt, on her back were two wings, indicating her Pegasus status.

Either way, I turned to the purple unicorn, who was shuffling nervously. "Look, you obviously know far more than anyone else, so care to explain?" I asked her, she nodded.

"Of course, this is indeed when Nightmare Moon was supposed to return." She stated, turning to a window. "The signs were clear and I know that she will bring eternal night if she isn't stopped." I was rather mad at this point, no, make that absolutely pissed.

"Then why the hell didn't you tell anyone!?" I demanded.

"No one would have believed me, even with the evidence clearly in front of them." I scowled.

"You could have at least warned them!" I said bluntly.

"Look, we have no time! We have to find the book that contains knowledge on the Elements of Harmony." I raised an eyebrow at the name.

"The elements of what?" I asked.

"From what I know, the Elements of Harmony are the most powerful force in all of Equestria, they went missing about the same time as Nightmare Moon's banishment, but I don't recall much else about them." Twilight's explanation wasn't exactly making me assured that these elements could defeat someone with enough power to move the moon.

"Any idea where the book is?" I asked, though Pinkie beat me to it.

"Here it is!" She said cheerfully from on top of a bookshelf... wait... how the hell did she get up there?! Never mind, I'll probably get a hemorrhoid or something just by thinking about it...

"Where was it?" Twilight asked.

"It was under 'E' of course!" Pinkie said as though it was the simplest thing in the world. Which it was.

"Whatever, just give it here!" Twilight said, frustrated.

"Okie dokie loki!" Pinkie said happily as she tossed the book at Twilight, who caught it in her magical grasp, then placed it on a reading table of sorts and opened it.

"Okay, according to this, there are six Elements of Harmony in total, however, only five are currently known by name; Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, Honesty and Loyalty." I raised an eyebrow at the names. Was I thrown into a world that was based off of a cartoon or something? "The sixth is, as of right now, a complete mystery, it is said that the last known location of the five Elements was in the ancient castle of the royal pony sisters. It is now located in which is now...the Everfree Forest." The other girls in the room visibly tensed at the name and a couple even shivered, most notably the white and yellow ones.

"What is wrong with that place anyway?" I asked, the girls all looked at me like I was insane, the butter yellow girl stepped forwards and seemed to have trouble speaking.

"U-um.. It's...scary...there's dangerous creatures in there that aren't like other animals...these ones, they...hurt ponies. Everypony stays away from there..." She looked scared as she was probably just thinking about whatever horrors there were in that forest, I just shrugged.

"Like literal wooden wolves?" I asked, the girls' eyes widened upon hearing that.

"You've gone against Timber Wolves and lived!?" The orange one asked, a look of extreme shock on her face.

"Yes, why?" I asked her back, she shook her head incredulously.

"I ain't ever heard of no one who got away from those timber wolves and lived! How did you do that?!" She demanded as I sighed and shook my head.

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you, either way, we have far more important matters to take care of!" I stated as she just nodded. After packing up everything she thought she would need, Twilight went out the door with us in tow.

"Name's Alex by the way, just Alex, and you?" I asked the girls, tired of referring to them as their colors.

"...Applejack is my name." Said the blonde, hesitating at first, most likely due to some trust issues.

"Call me Rainbow Dash!" The rainbow haired one said boastfully, probably did that a lot.

"My name is Rarity." The fancy one stated, most likely thought of herself as a higher class.

"Hi! My name's Pinkie Pie and I absolutely love to throw parties! Do you like parties? Cause I sure do!" The fully pink one said with probably too much enthusiasm, most likely a party animal.

"I-I'm Flutter...shy..." The yellow one said quietly, if it wasn't for my evolved self's enhanced hearing I probably wouldn't have heard her as I knew her voice wasn't within the normal detectable decibel range of human hearing.

"I'm Twilight Sparkle." the purple one said at last after everyone else went, she was the smart one it seemed... this could be fun... We soon came upon what was the entrance to the Everfree Forest from Ponyville itself. Twilight sighed, a look of stress on her face.

"What's wrong, Twilight? Something on your mind, darling?" Rarity asked Twilight, I raised an eyebrow on the fact that Rarity just called Twilight darling, but just shook my head and decided to just ignore it. Twilight looked worried for a minute, looking as though she were afraid that the next thing she will say will offend someone she shouldn't.

"Look...I appreciate the offer...but I'd really rather do this on my own." The other girls responded just as I thought they were going to; they just strolled right past Twilight.

"No can do, Sugarcube. We sure ain't lettin' any friend of ours step into any creepy place alone. We're sticking to you like caramel on a candy apple." I chuckled at Applejack's analogy and started to walk through the entrance myself, deciding to put my own two cents in.

"If the world is in danger, it has already become my own business!" I stated, not taking no for an answer like the other girls as Twilight groaned and relented under my words. A few minutes into the walk through, twilight decided to speak up.

"So....none of you, excluding Alex, have been here before?" Everyone else shook their heads, Rarity looking particularly disturbed.

"H-Heavens no! J...Just look at it! It's dreadful!" I admit it was quite depressing in here by just the air alone, it wasn't enough to keep me from looking around in wonder at how things grew around here.

"And this place ain't natural....folks say it don't work the same as Equestria..." Applejack added, with a slight amount of fear, not as much as, say, Rarity, but enough to be heard if you knew what you were looking for.

"Hey, Alex?" I heard Rainbow speak up.

"Yeah?" I queried back.

"Why did you get so up close to Nightmare Moon like that? That takes some serious guts, I was about to do that, but Applejack held me back." She asked then stated to me, I shrugged.

"I guess I just wanted to take her on because everyone was in danger." All the girls looked at me curiously.

"You mean, it was to protect us?" Rarity asked as I nodded.

"Yeah, sure it was stupid and reckless, but I felt as though I had to do something, otherwise someone was going to get hurt... I hope you all understand..." I didn't expect what happened next at all! Fluttershy straight up hugged me!

"Thank you... for protecting us I mean..." She said in that quiet voice of hers, she was so cute... I wrapped an arm around her, holding her gently.

"Well, someone had to do it, I mean, who knows what would have happened if I wasn't around?" I asked as the other girls smiled at me.

"Well, I suppose when you put it that way..." Rarity bowed to me in a polite manner. "Thank you kind sir, for protecting us from that so called 'princess'." She stated as I chuckled.

"Just doing what I think is right." We then continued on our way, heading through more of the forest itself. "When you said this place wasn't like any other in Equestria, what did you mean?" I asked Applejack, but before she could respond, she was interrupted by Rainbow, a whimsical smirk on her face.

"Nooooopony knooooooows......" By the looks of it, just by saying it in that certain way was scaring Fluttershy, Rarity and even Pinkie. "You know why?" She continued creepily.

"Come on Rainbow, cut it out!" Applejack demanded as Rainbow didn't seem to be listening.

"Cause everypony that tried to go in, has never...come.....OUT!" I wasn't sure if she yelled it out because she wanted to scare us or if she yelled it out in surprise of what happened next; the entire cliff face that we were standing on collapsed with such a speed only I managed to react to it at first.

With almost unbelievable speed, I grabbed Pinkie and Rarity before I succumbed to gravity and began to fall. I planted my feet into the side of the steep cliff face and my shoes dug in relentlessly into the dirt. After a few moments of cutting into the cliff, we finally managed to stop. "That was close..." I said in relief before I noticed the more stable ground wasn't too far down, so I leaped off the cliff face and landed on the ground. Hard. Granted, I didn't feel too much of it, but I guess being an Evolved means that there is automatic impact compensation. After landing on the ground, I set down Pinkie and Rarity, who were both completely silent as I did so.

"T-thank you... Why did you do that anyway?" Rarity asked.

"I just followed instinct, as odd as that sounds, but it was all so that you could be safe, you know?" I said as Rarity smiled.

"You're right, I am rather glad that you came with us." We then heard Twilight, who was hanging over the edge of the higher cliff face, yell out in terror as she was suspended over the edge, hanging onto Applejack, preventing her from falling. "Uh oh." Me and Rarity said at the exact same time, I immediately ran close to where Twilight was and waved to Applejack, she winked back at me as I ran underneath Twilight's fall trajectory.

"Let go." I heard Applejack say, Twilight's reaction was about what I expected.

"Are you CRAZY?!" She demanded to the cowgirl.

"No I ain't! I promise that you'll be safe!" Twilight looked around in every direction except down in a complete panic, the purple girl obviously couldn't think straight.

"Look, I'm right underneath you Twilight, I can catch you without any problem okay?" I shouted up at her, she looked down at me and her panicking quieted down. She sighed and released her hands, almost instantly she dropped like a stone! I raised my hands and caught her in my arms, it wasn't too bad, but the sudden shift in weight made my knees buckle for a second before I managed to catch myself and stop myself from falling. "You okay?" I asked, Twilight nodded.

"Yeah, but that was probably one of the most terrifying things I've ever experienced." I just sighed.

"If you ever experience something like that, just say to yourself that it could always be worse." I said as I set her down.

"I suppose I could look at it like that..." Twilight mused as we gathered ourselves and moved further into the Everfree Forest, waiting for the next challenged to come right at us!

Author's Note

That's one heck of a start huh? Get thrown into a world you're unfamiliar with rather than one you are can be extremely disorienting, either way, I hope I described the Evolved powers good enough; this is my first Prototype fanfic after all, so don't judge me, anyway, please do not leave hateful comments or anything like that, buh-bye.

Edit: Many many grammatical and paragraph edits made. Hopefully, it's much better than before.
