A New Life Begins
Chapter 5
Guyver Revealed!

David felt better this morning emotionally, he was very glad he couldn't summon the Guyver in his sleep. but as his mind came awake he felt the warmth of someone behind him an arm across his chest, and when he opened his eyes he was assaulted by soft yellow feathers over his head. Taking a mental double-take he quickly did a checklist to make sure he was safe, no restraints, no pain, no impaired mental faculties, and then realized that Fluttershy was behind him holding him as he remembered feeling her come up to comfort him as his emotions made the memory slightly fuddled but he could hear her oh so soft voice telling him to just let it all out. At first, the emotions tore through him of confusions rage and then just pain. And with it she simply allowed him to vent, not judging him, not thinking him weak. And as he moved around he tries to adjust his hips some feeling his erection held tightly in his jean pants making it uncomfortable. Her scent was that of a spring rain, filled with freshly bloomed flowers, Lavender, lilacs, and of course, he was sure he could smell some eucalypti on her

Slowly he was thinking of things math, science, and such to make it go down and finally when he was comfortable he rolled onto his back doing his absolute best to not wake Fluttershy as soon he let his arm wrapped around and tenderly hold her. Her head rested on his chest, as her wings trembled, but as he now whispered to her that she was safe and it was alright she settled down and breath more relaxed. David was attracted to her, her shyness, her demeanor, the fact was that she was also self-conscious about her body with how she wore baggy clothes to help hide her figure. David may have been horny as hell a lot of the time. But he wasn't going to let his hormones rule him. He controlled them.

If he would need to know more about her before he felt comfortable attempting to seduce her. The last thing he wanted to do was cause her pain and as she inhaled deeply and began to rouse as she opened her eyes with a flutter and gasping she realized with a blush she was resting her head on his chest. And as he carefully hugged her he said, "Good morning." When he felt her hand starting to slide down his chest in the direction of his waist he thought back to when Redheart said it was unhealthy for a stallion to be pent and instantly he tenderly held her hand with his free hand and said. "Fluttershy thank you for spending the night with me, I feel better than I have in a very long time."

She squeaked out as he held her tenderly as she blushed a deep shade of red and said, "Stallions, it's not healthy..." and he held her tightly holding her hand a bit more firmly as he could feel her tremble.

And then he said, "You are very very beautiful to my eyes. Your shyness makes you adorable. But I have known shy girls where I come from. The Wrong word was spoken, the wrong look can cause great pain. I would absolutely love to share pleasure with you." and he leaned down to kiss her on her forehead

"Please don't do this if you are not comfortable, I will be alright for a while. I couldn't stand bringing you pain. I control my passions and lusts. They do not and will never control me. And when //you// are truly ready, we will both know. Sex may be casual here, but I want it to be special with you." he said.

And with it he could feel Fluttershy hold him tighter and she looked up at him with tears in her eyes as he gave her a chaste little kiss on the lips and he sighed with a smile. "Now with the sun starting to rise, I think we should start our day."

And at that moment she said, "Oh my Angel! He gets so grumpy if I miss feeding him! Oh, thank you I gotta go!" And in that she all but jumped out of the bed tore open the door and raced out down the stairs. It left David absolutely flabbergasted, as he blinked a few times with how fast she moved. And after a few moments Rainbow dash had come up demanding to know what was going on!

"She said something about An Angel not being fed and being grumpy?" By now the rest of the elements had come to the door and having heard the demanded question, and then the answer, and moments later all of them burst into laughter! David quickly figured out that Angel was her pet. And of course, explaining he nodded in understanding.

"As for Fluttershy, none of you need to worry. I have known a number of shy girls uh, Fillies, Mares, " he said somewhat confused on the proper terminology,

"Just like her in high school. They are easily upset, The wrong word or words were spoken at the wrong time, the wrong look. Can severely upset them. Nothing happened between us." David said swinging his legs off the bed to get up and check his upper arm he wasn't too surprised to find his upper arm completely healed. Thankfully his assurances that nothing happened made them relax.

Getting up quickly he checked his lower leg and found it was also healed, and smiled as he said, "Well I seem to be fine now."

Concerned as he moved around so fast Twilight came up and said, "You shouldn't be moving around like that!" she said, "You're still healing!"

Looking at her David sighed. "Twilight," He said crossing his arms and then looked down at her as Twilight felt like she was being stared at by her father when he was upset with her and it made her shrink back a little. "Right now all I need is a hot shower or bath, A hot pot of coffee, and a decent breakfast. Now as for healing I know my body's limits very well, I know them better than you do. Unless you want to perform an in personal depth hands-on examination."

"I'd Love that!" She squealed.

"I'd enjoy that!" smiled at her.

*Cricket chirp Cricket Chirp!*

A roar of laughter burst out from all of Twilight's Friends. As it broke the mask of pure exhilaration she had at the offer of her face and her confusion and then she realized what she had just walked into and then she screamed out as the blush to her cheeks turned her scarlet red. And with a glower of Anger, she stormed out of the room saying, "You're as bad as the others!" Of course Twilight stormed off downstairs only to catch the sight of her big brother and his companions laughing their tails off. With it, she stormed off into her room and slammed the door shut.

In the royal palace of Equestria Celestia was in her bedroom laughing out loud she had been watching David's interaction with Fluttershy and she was very very happy that one who had endured such pain could still show kindness and compassion. Most impressive she thought but the way he lured in Twilight. She knew Twilight had always been a bookworm. And when ponies made jokes about her social life she was the brunt of a number of jokes. But she took them in stride. And took it on the chin and always shrugged it off. David had drawn her in perfectly. Celestia did her best to control her self. She had teased Twilight in the times she and her had been together. It was playful loving banter, in secret with David being the first stallion that had truly caught her eye, even if it was at the moment pure academic interested. She was certain that it would grow into more.

With Kindness, Loyalty, Honesty, Generosity, Laughter, and a touch of magic, she was sure that they could help David climb out of his pit and chasm of despair, and pain. And while her concerns were for his well being she collected her self and swallowed hard thinking of her self in one of her few moments of selfish desire. A child ever since Sombra had cast that terrible curse, neither she nor Luna could conceive a child. That his seed could possibly bypass the curse of that only an Alicorn could father a child with then an impossibility. Male Alicorns were impossible. Sombra had tried to become one, and it drove him even more insane than he already was.

It had been many many thousands of years since her last foal had been born. Unlike her and her sister, they were not immortal. But they lived long healthy lives and when they passed on yes, Celestia and Luna both mourned their passing but knew that it was a natural part of the world. Life, death, life. The Cycle was almost as old as the cosmos. And she did not dwell upon it, the chance to have another child the yearning to be a mother once more. As a precaution she had ordered David's semen sample Magically preserved and held in the vaults of Canterlot, she was not sure how he would react in the future. Or if he would even consider having a child with her and Luna. Which presented all sorts of problems if indeed the child was an Alicorn. More so if it was an immortal alicorn.

After the ruckus and laughter settled down, David was told that Twilight would sulk for a while, but she would get over it. It was hardly the first joke about her in such regards. But still he desired to get cleaned up and with that he headed into the shower to relax in the hot water, feeling it run down his head and back. Standing in the shower thoroughly relaxing as he closed his eyes and allowed the scrubber brush to get his back clean as he flexed his shoulders and back shaking his head out and once he was thoroughly Soaked he was glad to feel running water on him, the spell that was used to clean him up in the bathroom at the hospital was nice and it made him feel clean, but scrubbing one's self was invigorating.

After he had scrubbed himself down at least three times he came out making sure that it was still early he knew that Rarity had asked him by the shop today before noon and checking the clock as he understood it and say it was almost 7:30 am from how the sun was raising. And as he finished making sure he was clean and then finally dry he throw on his clothes and shoes. The shoes of which he would need to get new one's son and for the first time he saw how ratty his clothes were understanding why Rarity wanted to get him some new clothes. "yeah new clothes are needed." still he didn't want to get the jeans repaired they were mementos of his world and finally he felt his wallet in his pocket. And holding it he resisted the urge to open it knowing he would be greeted with photos of friends and family long dead. Some by his own hands. And that brought painful memories back as he shook his head and suppressed the emotions. And moments later a knock came to the Door as Twilight asked.

"David are you alright?"

"Yeah just caught up in a memory of lost friends. I'll be out in a moment," he said. "I am sorry about leading you into that little joke."

"Oh don't worry about it." She said with a harrumph. "I have to admit I walked right into that one," she said.

"I'll be honest, however. You are very cute and attractive, once we know each other a bit better, I might not mind such an investigation at a later time," he said as he was sure he had heard her brain explode.

"Um uum, I, I I'll tell my brother you should be down for breakfast soon." and then finally he smiled,

Once he was dressed he had come down from the shower much more refreshed as he came down the stairs and was surprised that there were three new Unicorns two males, one obviously female with how gravid she looked, and when she in the room as the white one with a two-tone blue mane, dressed in an immaculately white uniform with gold trim. He even had a Sun Symbol on both shoulders. came up with a friendly smile as he offered his hand. And David took it firmly shaking it, "I'm Shining Armor, Twilight's brother. And Captain of the Equestrian Solar Guard. This is Shadow-mane, Captain of the Canterlot guard, Consort of Celestia. And his lead mare, Fleur Di Lis."

David looked over to a dark grey unicorn with a Black-mane. His outfit was a touch more relaxed but still told of more a city guard than a royal captain still it was immaculate as he offered a nod of respect staying close to his mare given that she had to look at least six or seven months pregnant, and then the white mare with the pink mane smiled as David saw her beautiful outfit. she had a black dressed that started at the back of her neck and hung around crossing over her breasts which he could tell were large thanks to her pregnancy and from able to see it wrapped under her breasts back around over her large belly and down around her legs and then as his eyes lingered over her for too long she spread her legs slightly and smirked, as that made David blush brightly and Shadow lightly slapped her leg and said.

"Dear we are here to talk to him not give him a stroke, and give him a few months to adjust to our culture before you start flirting with him alright."

"Oh alright." The talking of her being allowed to flirt with him confused him.

It was Shadow-mane who said, "Due to the few numbers of stallions in our populations David. Mares and Stallions are known to have semi-regular relations outside their herds. Normally this is with close friends. The occasional one night stand is not too uncommon. As for my Lead mare, pregnant mares tend to get very... amorous."

David blinked as he tore his eyes away from Fleur Di Lis and looking to Shadow-mane who smiled David Nodded. "Forgive me but the Princesses told me you wouldn't be arriving for several days."

As Shining Armor let go of the handshake he was keeping his mind open to perceive David's emotions, he was convinced now that David wasn't the least bit empathetic. As Shadow said, "Well what happened in the streets last night has them very concerned for your well being." And instantly the fact that he had been watched and spied upon by Celestia and Luna without permission had him instantly turned into a dark mood. Betrayal, anger.

"I understand how you Feel David." Shining Armor said sitting down taking hold of a mug of coffee.

Sensing his disbelief, before David could respond, "All ponies are empathetic, I can sense your emotions as easily as reading a book." It surprised David with shock and then realization, he felt concern for everyone here and then David Locked his emotions down, to such a degree it caught Shining armor off guard.

"David!" Fleur Di Lis said sharply. She drew her breath deeply and said firmly like an almost scolding mother.

"Is it healthy and safe for your race to keep their emotions bottled up so tightly without allowing the emotions of pain, sadness, and despair to be vented?"

Shining looked around to the Other mares they were also surprised by how shocked by how tightly he was holding his emotions in and they all know when a pony did that for too long, they exploded sometimes violently. The fact that he couldn't feel their emotions feel their concerns, their desire to help him. And it also scared them. That ability to sense the emotions of the ponies around them helped them not only cope with troubles and trauma. But those ponies who lost their empathetic abilities were often some of the coldest and most callous ponies around. Such as Prince Blueblood. A minor birth defect severely stunted his empathetic powers.

Even threw his tight emotional control was impressive they could feel some relenting,

"No, it's like a pressure cooker..." Then his concern spiked, "Last night..." He said with some fright as Twilight jumped in. He was unaware that Fluttershy had entered the Library behind him, having returned from her cottage, and held her tongue. Not wanting to interrupt but his concern for her well being touched her deeply.

"The privacy spell contained an emotion blocker. I knew you were going to be grieving, and understanding you would want some measure of privacy and be alone at least for a while. And don't worry about Fluttershy." Twilight said as she could sense some of his concern for her. "She went up there of her own free will knowing what she would be subjected to. Despite our... warning you could," And she cringed some, "possibly react badly to the intrusion. She couldn't simply do nothing while she could feel the agony you were in."

"We all could Darling. Every pony here is concerned for you." Rarity said.

"And if you hold your pain and anguish in if you don't allow your self to grieve after all you have been through." Fleur di Lis said softly. "You'll explode, for your sake don't hold in the poison of pain. It has to be vented it has to be released."

It took some doing as she felt him slowly keeping his emotions under control and allowing them to be a bit more unfettered.

"Don't worry, with our help Twilight put that privacy spell around the Library to make sure that no pony can feel, hear or see inside the Library today." She said.

"Gryphons they like you do not have empathetic abilities so it is not an alien concept for us. David despite my Flirty behavior, and by the way, I do find you highly attractive, you are a very handsome stallion. I am a thoroughly trained Therapist. It's my duty to tend to somepony's Mental, Spiritual and Physical injuries. Sometimes I use physical pleasure to help bring about the healing process. The Princesses were still in the Hospital when you began to have your... talk with Rainbow Dash."

"After what they heard they felt it was important that as quickly as possible we arrived in Ponyville. They did share what you said happened to your friends, and that you... subdued them." Shining Armor said as he felt a spike of pain and guilt.

"David the process that Chronos used to turn your friends into these monsters... was it reversible in any way shape or form?" Shadow-mane asked.

With a heavy heart, David dropped onto the end of a couch, having lost all interest in coffee and food. doing his best to at least contain the emotions he felt to keep from simply breaking down like a child he shook his head.

"No as far as anyone knew in my world. Once you were transformed into a Zoanoid... you are under the absolute control of the Zoalords, their masters. Zoanoids can act on their own initiative but at any point, any of the 12 Zoalord can reach out and take control of them telepathically at any time and at that point all you are is a puppet on their strings. If you block the telepathic signal.. they are altered to continuing obeying the Zoalord's orders, thus if one was ordered to kill you, and the zoalord was directing them, block their abilities. They keep attacking. And ONLY a Zoalord can counter that order. You could be a telepath and try and order the zoanoid to stop the attack, and they describe it as the Zoanoid saying mentally, not a zoalord ignore the command."

Leaning back Shining Armor looked on with horror. The sheer level of evil this Chronos was capable of terrified him. He knew Evil existed, Nightmare Moon and her return had cost many ponies their lives most of them were guards. And she revealed in death and destruction, something that weighed heavily on Luna's heart. The Nightmare forces had been dispersed thanks to the Elements of Harmony. But Evil on this level was almost unheard of. All the mares in the room had tears in their eyes as they could feel his pain, despite him controlling his emotions, it was something he hated about himself.

"David as much as it will be a shock, and as much as Twilight might hate you at first. If I was transformed into one of these Zoanoids I would rather die," That made Twilight gasp out in horror and shock with what Shining Armor said. " than have them turn me into a monster that harmed my loved ones. I think you did the right thing. You gave them peace."

"David, you came to Equestria is it possible a Zoalord came here?" Shadow-mane Asked.

David was concerned at first and began to think, and after a while, he said, "I haven't thought of it but I suppose it's remotely possible, as far as I personally know all the Zoalords are dead. Now that said, the vast majority of my species was not born with any form of psychic powers like empathy. But there were individuals, who always swore that some cities felt wrong, a few were born with some level of telepathy, and said that some cities just felt bad. These cities just so happened to have Zoalords in them. So if there is one here he would know of your empathetic powers almost at once upon arrival,, he has either been in a place that naturally or artificially blocks his telepathic field from detection or two he's suppressing his own powers so he can't be detected. But the moment he starts using his powers near any group of ponies..."

"It's going to be like a big red sign that says big evil creature here." Rainbow Dash said.

"Exactly Dash, and as for how the Zoanoids were able to hide from my people, They are shapeshifters. They can take on the appearance of normal humans and hide in plain sight. And before you accuse me, no I am not a zoanoid, I am something.... Else." They felt him starting to bottle up again he clearly did not want to talk about what he was, feeling a sense of shame and great and terrible failure.

Fleur Di Lis Slowly began to stand up helped by Shadow-mane as she slowly walked over to join him on the couch. She took his hand and slowly held it.

"David... I am 223 years old." That made David double take at her, "Shadow-mane is 239, Shining Armor is 252. Because of our strong ties with magic in various ways. Ponies can on average between 850 and 1000 years of age. Our tests on you with the lifespan of your cells outside of your body, combined with your natural regenerative abilities. We estimate you could easily live for 1500 years."

David looked into her soft compassion filled eyes as she allowed her tears to run down her cheeks, and as the revelation of his aging hit them all she asked. "David, what is the average lifespan of humans?"

With a heavy swallow. "On average. A hundred years." And they gasped at that even Deer and Bison lived for 500 to 600 years. "And we are considered adults at around 18ish."

"How old are you?"

With a deep swallow, he said "24." And it made them gasp at how young he was compared to them all. An adult of such a fast lived race, compared to the experience of a pony of 240 David was almost a foal.

Reaching up to take hold of his cheek, Fleur Di Lis made him look into her eyes and asked, "Do you really want to carry all this pain with you for centuries bottled up, held in no one truly knowing why you are in pain? Or do you want to let it go and be free of it? I know it's hard, we understand it's painful. We are a naturally peaceful race, some would call ponies Naive. But we are not stupid, but always try to look for the best in every pony or being we come across. Even you." tears ran down David's cheeks as the weigh pounded on him.

The truth of the matter was that David's race being so naturally short-lived, concerned the visiting Unicorns. With such a long life ahead of him, could he mentally handle such time without going insane? "We are not asking for all your secrets," she said and David just seemed to wilt under her words as he allowed time to stretch on as they could feel his mental struggle.

"I have the promise of absolute privacy from all here never to breath a word of what I am about to reveal, without my expressed consent?"

Looking around as he was surprised to see Fluttershy coming over with her friends even Barb was there. And everyone agreed more than willing to protect his secrets as he asked again that absolutely nothing could escape sound or light wise from the library and with The ponies willing to reinforce the spell as Shining armor and Shadow-mane appeared to focus on something as Shining armor said, "Princess Celestia and Luna would like to have your permission to come and see for themselves, if you will permit her and Luna. She has been watching us. But will only do so with your expressed consent. If you do not give it, they will not appear nor will they watch."

It took him a moment...but finally, he said "They have it." and in a flash of light appeared the two Alicorns Celestia and Luna Appeared Celestia in a more formal ball appearance and Luna in what seemed like a slightly more casual, outfit as David listened to Princess Celestia apologize.

"David, I am sorry I did not inform you that I was keeping an Eye on you after you confronted Rainbow Dash. When I heard what you had said, I could feel your pain. I was genuinely concerned for your safety."

"And the Safety of your subjects. I understand, doesn't mean I like it. But I accept your apology." .

Looking around he saw a heavy wooden Table. "To fully understand the impact of what I am, I need something like this table that can stand up behind me. You uh, will need a new table when it's over. And Twilight, before you ask the answer, is no I will not let you examine what I am about to show you."

That concerned every pony there as even Luna lifted an eyebrow. And then finally Using magic to clear the table David was about to get some help moving it but he simply picked it up as Applejack said, "That hasta weight three hundred pounds!"

Looking to Applejack, David looked to the table and said, "Oh sorry hadn't noticed." his physical strength was impressive his lean tightly muscled frame belayed the strength he had, he easily had to match Big Macintosh for strength and David was half his size and weight. Setting the table down as he swallowed hard clearly feeling some hesitation, he lowered his head as the edge of the table was on them and they looked at David's side and he said.

"This is what I found that changed me, this is what Chronos wanted so badly, They wanted.... The GUYVER!"

Instantly around David came a thunderous explosion of sound and a flash of light around him in a small area as they watched the Table all but disintegrate, Wrapped in a protective shell of energy Celestia felt the raw destructive power he had unleashed but then she saw it, almost too fast for a normal pony's to fully perceive instantly appearing behind him was some sort of creature larger and much more vicious looking appearing behind David, the large curved horn, it instantly reminded her of an insect.

The creature opened up, as the plates on the feet snapped open wrapping around his feet, then his lower legs, upper legs, groin, hips torso, arms and finally his head was encased in the powerful looking armor. And mere moments after the armor had been summoned David stood as tall as Celestia, as he had said the table had been all but destroyed. Even now she could feel the sheer power this Guyver had as he turned sharply to face her as jets of steam escaped from a pair of holds on the side of the mask as the metal on his forehead glowed brightly above sapphire blue eyes.

Before them stood a bright Emerald green being about seven and a half, or eight feet tall, it was bipedal in appearance. It appeared to be insectoid in nature, in all other respects as its bright glowing Sapphire colored pupil-less eyes just stares. The exoskeleton of this being had a high gloss and shine. On the head was a long slender curved horn, which seemed to add a good half foot. The underside of the horn appears to be covered in a darker less glossy jade green to add contrast. The horn connected to the forehead where there was a very smaller light green orb which glowed slightly like his eyes; below it is what appears to be a silver orb that has a white glowing or flashing light in a ring around it.

The top of the head had two Jade green grooves which also held silver like orbs which seem to move and swivel in those grooves sliding from the front to back slightly. The slightest movement seems to attract them and it moved with a silent movement to home in and track whatever caught its attention as if David can see through them in all directions. The face seemed to show no emotions as if it was frozen in a featureless stare. Where David's mouth would be there was no mouth, mandibles, or any other indication of a mouth. What was there is a groove and in it, two small orbs. Beside it was two elongated hexagons, which seemed to be for breathing as every once in a while a burst of steam can be seen issuing forth from.

The neck was reasonable thick for the head of its size as what appear to be tubes running down and around the neck and into the main body of the armor. The chest was somewhat larger and pronounced with a plated armor design, The main plates of the armor were bright emerald green with the grooves and furrows colored deep jade green. The breastplates looked almost like they might open somehow. On his abs is what appears to be a design of a well-formed six-pack of abs. but nestled in the middle of them is a larger silver orb just like the ones on his head.

His arms appeared thickly muscled and well proportioned for his height. On both of his forearms appeared to be large bracers and on the top of the forearms was a slight elongation, and it runs from the elbow to his wrist. And out of it appeared to be a slightly curved spike, about as long as his hand and extends just beyond his clawed fingers. It does not appear to hinder the movements of his hand in any way. His legs were covered in the same armor plating as the rest of his body, and looked strong, powerful, and would give him good speed, agility, and movement. His feet also armored and well protected as he seems fully armed for battle. Then she noticed it.

She could no longer feel David, it was as if he was not even there, even with creatures she could not perceive the emotions of there was always a sense of presence now. There was nothing. and with it scared her as even Luna had taken back as he flexed his hands and instantly the spikes on his hands extended into deadly looking blades. .Then shimmered and vibrated with a humm that made her ears itch as it put Shadow-mane and Shining Armor on defensive suddenly coming between David and the Princesses, and elements of Harmony. Moments later the blades stopped humming and retracted.

"This," David said his voice distorted and changed. "is the Guyver," He said and Rainbow Dash oblivious to the possible dangers,

"Magical Armor! That is SO COOL! too bad it doesn't fly." And she moved through the air and instant David looked at her and she saw the orb at the waist shimmer some as he suddenly lifted up into the air and he took her by surprise and moved to her and she instantly had her wings snap open as she looked at him as he moved around clearly flying as she realized that he was manipulating gravity.

"I can break the sound barrier, producing a shockwave behind me." And all it did was make her wings unknowingly to David ache

Everypony's eyes followed David as he actually did a flip and floated almost effortlessly, and then he landed. Looking in their direction as everypony stared wide-eyed. some with fear, trepidation, and concern. "David..." Fleur Di Lis said, "We can't sense you anymore we can't sense your emotions."

"I know... the Guyver blocks all empathy and telepathy from touching my mind." and then as he made no motion they watched the Guyver suddenly open up, and pull behind him hovering for a moment before it sank into the floor. vanishing without a trace. And when it was got they could sense David perfectly now as he stood there almost fearful they would consider him a monster.

"The Guyver is alive, it is a suit of Symbiotic armor. It is what changed me from a normal human to what I am now. It... improves the host. makes them stronger, faster, brings them to the absolute peak physical and sensory perfection. When the Armor is active like it was, it enhances those abilities by a hundredfold. The Guyver is a weapon. That is what Chronos wanted from me. They wanted the Guyver. And it was permanently bonded to me. They slaughtered my friends, my family. Turned some onto Zoanoids,." And with it the anguish of David was coming back. the pain as tears started to build.

"It is designed to protect the host, at all costs. At one point, I attempted suicide, I tried to blow my head off. I woke up in the armor! It won't let me die." David said as Celestia was aghast he had actually attempted suicide and the armor saved him? "The Guyver holds my consciousness, it holds my DNA, it holds my memories. You could cut off my head, the Guyver would summon its self and regenerate my head. I could be in the Guyver and blow off the back of my head. The Guyver would just regenerate my damaged body. Restore my memories."

The tears were flowing freely as he continued to just unload the horror. "While I can't summon it in my sleep, as it requires conscious thought or lethal injury to summon, I have had several nightmares where I am in battle and people say they heard me shouting for the Guyver it never came. But I can only control the Guyver when I am awake. When I am lethally injured to the point I would lose consciousness, or be rendered incapacitated unable to control the Guyver. The Guyver assumes control and takes over."

And that surprised Celestia as she felt the weight he carried on his soul, and through choking words he said, "When the eyes glow red, the Guyver is in control it is in hyper protection mode. It can not tell friend from foe, it knows no pain, no fear. it only cares for the survival of the host, no mercy, no reasoning with. anything it perceives as a threat it kills! It has made me a monster," as he sank to his knees on the verge of tears every ounce of grief came out of him. "It turned me into a killing machine without a soul!" And in that the true depth of how far he was in that chasm of despair he had come to start believing he had no soul.

It was at this point Luna with tears in her eyes strode forward as she knelt down and grabbed him by the shoulders and forced him to look at her as she said.

"Do not say that again!" she commanded him,

"I feel your anguish, how hard did you fight to protect your friends from these Monsters? When you were forced to put your friends at rest, did you mourn them?" Celestia realized what Luna was doing, after her return to the castle, Luna had broken down, feeling she was a monster, that her soul had been stolen. Celestia had to use similar words to enforce her Sister and keep her strong.

David was an emotional wreak from this, And with it she showed him compassion pulling him into a hug as Celestia also approached followed by everyone,

"I and my sister, have lived for many hundreds of thousands of years. And we have fought against creatures without souls. The Armor is part of you, It may be a Weapon, The Power, the Strength," And then as everyone came over to kneel before and around David Luna pulled him back,

"You are it's conscious, it's heart, it's soul. Only a beast kills without feeling pain. You are no beast, and you are not soulless. Never claim you have no soul again." And with it David finally broke down, the real poison in his soul slowly started to be drained. As all the ponies just stayed around David who was left in convulsive sobs.

Luna had discovered someone whose pain was greater than her own. Yes, she had been transformed into Nightmare Moon by the Nightmare Force. But the damage she had done had been relatively small. She had harmed some ponies, yes upon her transformation, some had been killed. But she had been banished for a thousand years when it would be possible to break the curse, the anguish it caused her sister. Then she returned a single night, and she would bitterly remember the face of every life she cut short and never allow them to be forgotten.

But David, he had not asked for this, of that she was sure, she was not sure if this armor could be removed from him, but if the armor was as powerful as she felt, it would be most difficult, and with his pain she could tell he wouldn't part with it willingly. It was a reminder of all his pain all he lost, so he would never forget. He had fought and killed for years, watched his people be conquered then after vanquishing their enemy they had managed to simply destroy the entire world, the sounds of all the screams, and cries for help that could never be answered, him surrounded by this armor forced to live and endure watching his people burn and die, the screams of the stallions, the mares, the foals. And not be able to do a thing to save them.

//No wonder he screamed get off me and let me die.// Celestia thought as the elements of harmony just stayed around David just trying to be there to reassure him. She was now sure in her heart, David was a noble spirit, given time he could recover. It would be a long hard road to rebuild his fractured spirit but it could be done. For if he was evil, he would not be grieving as he does now as all the mares and stallions held him to reassure him.

As far as I know in the Manga and anime, I don't think that any of the Guyver hosts had had their heads blown off out side the Guyver only to have the Guyver activate to save the host. That said I am taking some liberties with the concept. because let's face it. If you have a suit of war armor that you can summon and dismiss and re-summon it's kinda stupid if the host can be killed and the weapon neutralized with a .50 caliber anti material round out side the suit. As a result in my version there are several fail safes in place to protect the host even when the Guyver is not active.

I know this might make him seem like an unstoppable Mary Sue but remember that there are ways to prevent him from summoning the Guyver, such as binding someone behind his back. keeping him sedated, etc
