As I walked through Ponyville, following behind Twilight, I could hear the questions and worried whispers with the surrounding topic, me.
"Look at that thing!"

"Who brought the hairless ape?"

"What kind of monster is that?"

"Probably just a giant diamond dog."

"Do you think it wants to eat us?"

"Maybe Twilight captured it."

"Is it going to rain today?"

I don't know what that last one was about, but I knew that all of the residents outright FEARED me. That didn't bring that great of a feeling within me, as my shoulders sagged more and more, and my head bowing, more and more, as we arrived upon our destination. Obviously Twilight took notice of my discomfort, as she gave a "It'll be alright," to try to reassure me of the fact that I wasn't an anomaly that really shouldn't be here in this world of multicolored ponies, so bright and cheerful they'd give... someone, a run for their money. There it went again, something's there, it's just locked up deep in my mind.

Noticing the size of the door, I had to bend down to enter the large tree turned library. Let me say, that's a lot a books.

"So! Since you don't have anywhere to stay, you can stay here," the purple unicorn said with a bright big smile. I shook my head, not as in "No thank you," but as in "NO!"

"Why not? It's the least I can do after what you did," she said. With a questioning look, she informed me, "When you tried to defend me from Nightmare Moon? And yes, I do remember that." Realizing I was arguing with Twilight Sparkle and that she wouldn't relent, I gave up. "Don't worry, we have a spare guest room just in case of situations like these."

When the young mare trotted off, leading me to a door upon which she opened, showed a room that was fairly furnished. I immediately saw the window that let the sunlight peek in, shining in warmly as if saying, “Hello,” and to the right was a medium sized drawer, by human standards. And to the wall left of the drawer, a couple feet away was a fairly large bed, by pony standards. Somehow, it looked like it could fit my figure. This made me draw a conclusion that this was specially furnished for an incredibly special pony. Oh, and the left wall was bare save for a lone mirror. I walked over and took a sit on the bed, noticing it was quite comfy.

“I’m gonna guess you like it?” the purple mare asked confidently. I nodded with a warm smile.

“Hey Twilight, you’re back a little early, did you- whoa...” went the small dragon. He stood, jaw agape with wide eyes. I waved, my warm smile a nervous smile. Closing the runway, he slowly waved back.

“Spike, meet our new guest, Hawk. Hawk, meet Spike,” Twilight introduced.

“So, this was the “strange creature” that you were talking about- wait new guest!?” Spike asked, shocked.

“Yes, he’s going to be staying awhile since he doesn’t have anywhere to live,” Twilight confirmed, “And now, I should head back to Applejack’s to see if I can help her.”

“Can I come?” Spike asked.

“Of course, but why? I thought you said you were too tired to help,” Twilight replied, narrowing her eyes toward her surrogate brother.

“Uh, uh, s-so I can help you spot ones you might miss?”

“Hmm... Alright,” Twilight accepted, “Are you going to be alright staying here? I know it’s sudden but-” I stopped her, by putting my hand up, and giving a “Shoo” motion, along with a thumbs up. “Alright. But I’ll only be gone for a few hours, and when I get back, we’re going to figure out a way of better communication.”

As Twilight left, I listened closely for the sound of a closing door, and when I heard that, dadunk, sound, I rested my back against the wall as I went deep into thought. So, I didn’t have any memories of my time of before I was in that... no THE Void. I have a powerful weapon that is supposedly to be of different universal origin, wait no, different plane of existential origin. And not even that, originally in the series, if this episode was The Ticket Master, Spike went with Twilight without her having to come back to get him. That was how she even got the tickets in the first place. So if my presence was enough for that big of change, what else changed?

That was when my head started to ache. Shutting my eyes tight as I held my head, I began to hear voices, whispering with such a ferocity at such speed I couldn’t understand. I then saw a vision, that looked to be happening in a red haze. It was of ponies screaming, running amok in panic, and of the roar of three beasts as one. And then as fast as it began, it ended. Opening my eyes, I saw I was sitting upon the floor, and I saw that the sunlight coming through the window changed from a welcoming yellow, to a vicious orange.

Quickly standing, I looked out the large window as I saw a fireball pierce the sky, as I heard the roar of what sounded to be a dragon. I ran out the library into panic as I saw the clouds spiral towards a point that seemed to be on the other side of town. With great haste, I sped onward past the town hall, and through what I deduced was the market place, and I arrived upon chaos. I heard the chimes of the bell tower nearby as I saw the burning fires of one of the nearby houses in this neighborhood. The ponies running away from the creature in the midst, and most likely, the cause of all this. With dragon like wings, the body of a lion, and the tail of a serpent. And by a serpent, I literally mean the tail was a serpent. Three heads rested upon the body, goat, lion, and dragon, in that order from left to right. It was a chimera.

I watched in terror, as it seemed to be trying to knock down a house to catch the prey that was trapped inside. I watched in slow motion, as the serpent of the body wrapped around the pony inside as it was slowly being dragged out. Demon. The monster seemed to draw amusement from watching the pony’s futile attempts of escape. Demon. It wasn’t doing this to survive, it merely wanted to sate it’s twisted pleasure. Demon! This wasn’t an innocent animal, it was... DEMON!

As I felt every fiber of my being shake, it felt as if in the depth of my soul, I could feel energy, ready to be released. I picked up a large rock and chucked it at the serpent, grazing it’s skin leaving a small indent, successfully stunning it and allowing the innocent pony to escape. With that out of the way, I equipped the Crucible, as the chimera turned it’s attention on me.

“HAWK!” I turned my head to see Rainbow Dash soaring towards me. “What are you doing!? Run!”

I quickly looked back towards the chimera which quickly got close enough to bat me into the brick wall of the clock tower. Looking through the dust, I saw it try to set it’s sight on Rainbow, who was looking on, paralyzed in fear. The three heads released a large fireball (despite the fact lions and goats don’t breathe fire) trying to make Rainbow its next cooked meal. Not today. As time seemed to slow once again, I jumped in-between the flames and the pegasus as I heard the familiar sound of Argent Energy being released into blade form, feeling the rush of battle come onto me.

“NOOOOO!” Aw. She’s slowly concerned? With little to no concern for myself, I held the Crucible Blade in front of me, allowing it to absorb the flames as I swung the sword back around and released a beam back at the beast. The beam cut a gash into the back of the chimera. As time sped back up, I grabbed the pony and landed on the ground, leaving a crater. Putting the pony down, I threw a beam that cut the roaring beast between the lion and goat head, causing the dragon head to roar in pain, as the other two were dazed in shock it seemed.

Running up to the goat head, which was as large as me, I grabbed the horns that lied upon the top of its head, and pulled with all my might. I heard the tearing of tendons, as a sign I was succeeding in what I wanted. Noticing that the lion head was about to try to take a bite out of me, after shaking off the shock, I jumped upon the back and kept pulling. Hearing the goat head screaming as I pulled its head off, the pain bringing it back to reality, the pitch rising until I pulled it off entirely, throwing it forward. Not having time to praise myself, as if time slowed a third time that day, I had to turn quickly in order to catch the serpent head that lunged at me, while time returned to normal. To my right, the dragon head was ready to blast fire in my direction.

Leaping off the back onto the ground, the serpent head in my grasp, I landed near the rubble of a house, and took a piece of wood that acted as a spike, and jammed it into the lower jaw. I had to jump again as the dragon took another shot at me, which ended up in allowing me to separate the upper and lower jaw of the snake. After landing, I took off running, and grabbed another spare piece of wood for the next part of my “plan.” I ran up to the dragon head, which was preparing another blast, and rammed it through the mouth, which caused the head’s mouth to be unable to open, therefore, unable to release the pent up fire. As its regretful eyes stared into my hateful ones, I jumped back as it’s head exploded, leaving a bleeding stump. This left the lion’s head, as I was batted away into the clock tower again. The lion head decided to be desperate as it kept it’s distance.

Dammit, think! Aha! Turning around into the already punctured tower, as it rang it’s final hour, I began pulling. The tower began leaning, moaning in resistance, and once I knew I did enough, I began to run. Hearing the sound of the bricks and metal meeting earth, I took a dive to the side and watched as the chimera gave its last roar, before being crushed. Standing up, I held my sword up to the Sun in glory, and a beam shot from the Crucible Blade all the way to the Sun, causing the orb of plasma to turn blood red, with the clouds moving to spiral around the beam.

Canterlot Castle

Celestia hurriedly galloped towards her balcony, panic in her mind, she looked upon her kingdom. A red beam found it’s way to the large celestial body, turning it from it’s usual yellow to a blood red, changing the light given off, with the source being from Ponyville. When the light changed, it seemed as if everywhere the light touched felt fear, anger, sorrow, and guilt, as screams rose up from every corner of Equestria. And as the beam made contact, Celestia, Ruler of Equestria, the one to raise and lower the Sun, felt the stronger, rage filled power interrupt her’s for a brief moment, before the beam vanished. This left Celestia overjoyed, for his spirit has returned to help provide protection, but also afraid, for he used methods that haven’t been seen for over a thousand years ago.

Ponyville

Well, that sucked. I mean seriously, in one day, one day, I fought a stonergator, wooden dogs, and now I fought an amalgamate of a goat, a giant cat, and two versions of serpents, except one was larger and could breathe fire. Well, all three out of four heads could breathe fire, but still. Oh, and I maybe caused thousands of dollars of property damage, but remember it was for the greater good. 👍 Pushing my glasses up, because they were out of place a little out of place, I put away the Crucible, and I walked towards the direction of the library. At least, I would have if it weren’t for the fact I heard cheering.

“That. Was. AWESOME! It was like, “Roar!” and you were like, “Not today,” and the way you crushed it with that tower, and that sword! It’s like you use it all the time! And-humfumvin,” in order to stop her speech of how cool I looked, I had to cover her mouth.

“What happened?!” I heard the voice of reason ponified, wrapped in purple fur, shout as she and her group of friends ran up. That was when Rainbow took my hand off her muzzle.

“He just beat a chimera by himself!” Rainbow shouted.

“He indeed did,” said the voice of an elderly pony. We all looked to see an old mare come up to us. Mayor Mare, the mayor of Ponyville. “And we are in thanks to your act of bravery and courage. (Even if you aren’t a pony.)” As I shook my head and arms, trying to deny any thanks, Double M continued. “I believe any rumors that placed you as an evil monster are now quelled.” At that, I shrugged, as I kneeled down and extended my hand, which the old bastard gladly shook. “Welcome to Ponyville... what’s your name?”

“His name is Hawk,” Twilight said for me. Let me tell you, that’s gonna happen a lot in this story. “He’s not able to talk.”

“Oh! Well, anywho, I believe we all have somewhere to be,” M.M. announced. Me feeling guilty, motioned towards the fallen clock tower. Seeing this, the mayor freaked out, with tears streaming down her face. “THE CLOCK TOWER! What!? Why!? No...”

“He kinda needed to use it in order to finish off the monster,” RD explained. I scratched the back of my head nervously, grinning sheepishly.

“Ah’d say we better hurry if we don’t want anymore trouble,” AJ advised.

Golden Oaks Library

“So, mind tellin’ us what happened?” AJ asked. That was when the rainbow maned pegasus retold how I quote unquote, “destroyed the monster in the most epic way,” while maybe exaggerating some moments, such as how I, “Ripped off the head of the goat.” I mean, I just remember slashing at it with the Crucible energy sword. “You really did all that?” I gave a shrug. I then made my way to the guest-I mean my room, just entirely exhausted.

“Where’re you going? We still have to-” WHAM! Slamming the door, I flop onto my new bed in this newly familiar world, and embrace sleep. Of my own volition this time, instead of being knocked out, or waking up after gaining my body from the Void.

Author's Note

Now that we did that chapter, with each chapter things should go smoother each chapter. Again, reviews are greatly appreciated, criticism, hate, love, anything, just as long as I know what you all enjoy/hate about this chapter and story in general.

Someone made a comment about Jevil, when I had the idea to use him, but scrapped it. Even though there was NOTHING in those chapters to reference him. By the way, Jevil’s from Deltarune, to those not up to date on everything “hip.”
