School. The bane of my existence. BMS was hell, Trevvett wasn't kind, and Holliday was a strange year. I prayed things would be different. I walked up, and noticed the playground in the back of the school. 'Recess...' I chuckle to myself. 'I missed that damned thing. I was not ready for middle school, that's for sure.' I walked in to see the teacher sitting there. Good ol' Cheerilee. A purple earth pony with a light purple hair color and a darker purple stripe in the center. Flowers adorned her ass. She noticed me immediately.
"Hello, might you be this Ms. Cheerilee I've heard about?" I asked, knowing full well the answer.
"Why yes, I am!" Yep. Cheerilee. "What can I do for you?"
"I'd like to sign up for the education, if that's alright." 'Please don't ask about my parents. Please don-
"Of course, but where are your parents?" Shit.
"Dead." Did I needed an extended explanation?
"Oh. I'm so sorry." She fell for it. Wunderbar
"It's quite alright. Many asked about them. I'm used to it."
"Well, i-if you say so. Now, I need to know about your education."
I explained my education in detail, knowing she'd ask questions. She did. I made a note to her that I lived abroad, and my history is based on that culture (I haven't decided where my fake location would be) and not Equestrian history.
"Okay. Thank you, Mister..."
"I go by N. Nitrologenious is my given name, but it's dumb and annoying to say." I made that up. My real name's... Wait. I know my name! Why should I write it here?
"Alright. Spell your real name for me?" After that... "Aaaaaaand, done! Welcome, N. Uh, mind if I call you Nitro?"
"Uh, knock yourself out." How'd she get my re- Wait. 'Nitro'logenious. I am an idiot. First N, the 7th element of the Periodic Table (which should exist here), and now Nitrologenious. God damn it.
"Well, we're gonna be covering the Periodic Table Monday,-" Fucking called it. "-and I'll make sure I have a seat available for you. Get here by 8. That's when the bell rings." Arrive to school at 8. Got it. "Oh, and please get these things on the list here. You're going to need them." She hands me a list containing items I need. Pencils, check. Notebook, check. Saddlebag, che- Wait. Nope. Gonna need to buy that.
"Well, I'll see you Monday, Ms. Cheerilee!"
Ms. Cheerilee waived goodbye. Before I left, I looked at the calendar for a quick second. April 16th. Saturday. I smiled, realizing that dates are probably gonna be similar to Mobius', so I don't need to change my calendar on my laptop I brought with me. Oh, shit! My laptop! I don't have a generator up and running, and I haven't charged the damn thing! I ran after I noticed this, which was quite a ways away from camp. But I had to find sodium and potassium. Bananas and salts. I also needed the saddle bag, so I ran back to the market and got enough of the things. I know that I'll find some form of use for the chlorine gas when I'm done with the salt, and some form of use for the rest of the banana (prolly eat it or something). I got back and, to my luck, no one was here. They left, and I watched them before leaving to the school. Took 'em long enough to leave, though.

Princess Celestia Saulé
Lunch. That was the thing I wanted. It was still 5 minutes until I can leave to get me some food. A scroll appeared in front of me in a green fire. Twilight. But why would she send me a letter? I opened it, and this is what I found:
Dear Princess Celestia,
I know you're busy, so I'll keep this short. A pony's living in the Everfree Forest going by the name "N". I'm suspicious of this pony, and what he's doing there. If at all possible, I'd like for you to see if there is a pony named "N" in the Equestrian files.
EDIT: Ms. Cheerilee talked to me a few minutes ago, and apparently his name is "Nitrologenious". Is that an actual pony?
Thank you,
Twilight Sparkle
Nitrologenious? Strange name. Luna was next to me, so I asked "Sister, do you know a pony by the name of... Niro... Nitrole... Nitrologenious from when you were going through dreams last night?"
Luna looked at me and said "No, but I found a pony who dreamed of names, and landed on that name. His real name's Nitro. From the looks of it, he lives in the Everfree Forest. Why would you care, though?"
I pulled out a piece of paper and a quill and wrote down what I knew from this "Nitro" character. "Twilight is saying she's suspicious of this pony. She didn't explain."
"His dreams are quite... Unstable. He appears to be suffering from some form of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or some other form of mental disorder/disease." Luna looked visually nervous. "Something tells me that he isn't whom he seams to be." She shakes her head. "I don't know. I'll visit his dreams and talk to him tonight. If that's alright with you, sister."
I nod with agreement. I also noted this down, signed it, and sent it to Twilight. I only hope that this is just one issue that we can solve. I look at the clock. '1:10. Lunch time,' I thought, as I stood up. My sister did the same, and we went towards the dining room to eat.

Assassin Nitro
I walked down a dirt road towards town, my hood off. I switched from my grey and dark green cloak to a white hoodie. A simple hat was on my head. I looked like I went through the Everfree, and was headed up the dirt road to Canterlot. I was inconspicuous. When I was past Ponyville, I went west, towards an abandoned warehouse. I decided that this'll be the best place to set up a base. When I got in, I removed the "For Sale" sign. I bought it when I saw it. A few grams of Silver was enough to pay for the main warehouse and surrounding warehouses. They were empty recently, so no one else knew of it. I set up, and connected my generator to the wall inside of the side warehouses. This place had broken generators, so I just slid it onto a corner place and connected to the grid. It ran off of a Uranium isotope I brought with me. It should last for quite a while. I also prepped some repairs for the other generators with the materials I have with me.
I smiled. The warehouse behind the main one became my living quarters, and with the almost infinite electricity, I plugged in my laptop and was surprised to see a WiFi router nearby. I connected it to my laptop (wired connection), and I had access to the Internet. I was never happier. I was quite tired, but I wouldn't let that stop me. I fueled up one of the other generators using a mix of Na+ ions and K- ions to create a simple battery-esc generator. It'll serve as my backup, for when I need to do maintenance to the nuclear fusion reactor. I looked out, and realized it was already 8 P.M. I still needed the saddlebag, but I had time tomorrow. I sat down, wrote in my journal, and went to sleep.
Written Journal #2
Well, I finished a lot today. The perimeter I set up for the original base is now used as a "protected sidewalk" towards the other buildings in the facility. I now live in a warehouse, and not in the middle of the forest. Thank God.
Generator up, and I'm writing this (and the last Written Journal entry) into my laptop.
The Mane 6, with Spike and Starlight, entered my base while I was building the perimeter. I flashed them, and escaped while they were stunned. Whoever may be reading this, don't take that out of context.
I signed into the school system. I went under the alias "Nitrologenious". Dumb name, but it worked. Cheerilee was never the wiser.
I am now tired. I still have to end the Templar reign.
I'm certain that Chrysalis will return, after what I saw on the S6 Finale Previews. It might've already happened. I don't know.
Until next time,

3rd Person
As Nitro falls into his deep slumber, his laptop closed and ready for the day ahead, a figure stands on a nearby warehouse. Celestia stares into the room, certain that the info her sister gave her the previous day was true. She sighs and says "Rest now, young Nitro. For tomorrow, the day will become your nightmare."
(Nitro, 1st person)
Thank god for those cams everywhere. I was right behind her. I whispered into her left ear "It'll be yours, Celestia." I bounced back a few feet as Celestia punches the air I once was in. I smirked. "Good evening, Princess."
"What do you want with my little ponies?" she asked. I laughed on the inside.
"I mean no harm to your subjects. I'm just here on... intergalactic business. You need not to know. It will scare you to the point of not trusting even your own sister." I said, using a trick I grabbed when I was a child. My voice was deep, almost to the point of being pure bass. My voice was as monotone as possible.
"Then explain it in a way that won't frighten me." She was foolish to say this.
"Let's just say there's a bigger threat than me. And Chryssy is a part of it."
"Chrysalis?"
"The one and only. Trust me. I do my job, you don't bother me." That was the last thing I said before I teleported out of there. I may be an earth pony, but I still have my skills.
(Back to third person)
"How'd he teleport?" Celestia was dumbfounded from the earth pony teleport in front of her eyes. She ran through every possible answer before... "...Discord. He must know." And with that, she uses multiple teleports to get back to Canterlot, and into her bed. She needs sleep for the next day.
Author's Note
I had fun! Really hurts my left hand again, though. I'll lay off of it for a week or so.
Day 2 done! I promise it won't go for a day-by-day run. After Day 3 (did someone call Majora's Mask?), it'll skip time. That's why I have the date in the info tabs, which are signaled by italics.
Wunderbar is German for "Wonderful"
