Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Twilight, Rainbow Dash and Rarity all walk in to the map room of Twilight's castle “What was that back there?” Rainbow asked pacing around the room and holding an ice bag to her face.

“I don't know darling but I must say whatever he is… he must have a lot of raw magic power to have matched Twilight's magic like that, and his weapon… I for one have never seen or heard of anything like it but and I must admit all of his movements were those of a master, his reaction speed was also highly impressive… Twilight darling do you have anything you want to add?” Rarity asked.

“I know this is going to sound crazy girls but… the he used magic it felt unrefined untrained and primal, like it's the first time he ever used it in his life but, that just doesn’t make any sense I mean any unicorn should at least be trained to apprentice level of magic skill but… this guy is has magic as powerful as Alicorn magic so you would think he was trained right?” Twilight asked getting nods of agreement from her friends.

Spike came in and ran to Rarity’s side “Rarity are you ok I saw what happened form a window you’re not hurt right?” Spike asked.

“No need to be concerned Spike, besides I was not fighting that would be Twilight and Rainbow Dash so you really should be asking them not me.” Rarity answered.

“I know but they can handle themselves, but if I were there that guy in the cloak wouldn’t know what hit him,” Spike said throwing a few pretend punches.

“Spike you should never go looking for a fight.” Rarity said at that moment the door opened as Fluttershy Apple Jack and Pinkie Pie walked in.

“I saw the explosion from the farm.” Apple Jack said.

“I hope no pony was hurt in the explosion?” asked Fluttershy.

“My pinkie sense went off to let me know there was someone new in town so where is he and don't spear any details,” Pinkie proclaimed with a massive smile on her face and speaking at a million miles a second as always.

“No Fluttershy no pony was hurt just my pride as a princess.” Twilight answered.

Rainbow Dash jumps into the air and said “Now that the six of us are together we need to find that cloaked guy and take him down, just like the other bad guys we have put down,” the rest of the group agreeing with what Rainbow had just said.

“So uh who are we looking for, I mean three of us just got hear and don't know who are you talking about?” Fluttershy asked softly.

“Ye your right we should tell you who we are looking for, all we know is that it's a man in a hooded grey cloak with shadows covering his face.” Rainbow Dash answered.

“Wait I met a stranger this morning as I was tending to my animals, he was dressed like the man your describing if I remember right he said he got turned around in the Everfree, and he came from a very far distant land and wanted to be called the Outlander, and he asked for directions to town so I told him but I couldn’t have imagine he was capable of that explosion, I’m sorry girls if I knew he was dangerous I would not have told him the way to go.” Fluttershy apologised.

“Let's he was first sighted coming from the Everfree he has a lot of raw magic power he does not want any pony to know his name and where he is from… that’s not much to go on but I think I have seen a drawing of the cloak he was wearing, if I remember correctly like I normally do the cloak was used by spy’s 1000 years ago in a cliff side fort on the other side of the Everfree. He might have got it there so that should be the first place we search for him, but first I’m going to send a letter to Princess Celestia letting her Know what happened this morning,” Twilight said getting what she needed to write a letter.

Immediately after the incident in town at the fort “Well shit,” I said looking at my handy work “That went to hell faster than the live action Transformers movies,” I said to myself “What was that power I used… wait that girl used a magic cercal like in an anime… do I have magic too?” I ask myself.

Tacking a moment to clear my mind and my nerves and I feel it just under the surface raw primal and powerful I look down to my feet and see what’s left of my phone. “Ok there are two ways to do this I go back to town and beg forgiveness or I try and teach my self how to use this magic… the second one is more my style, so that’s what I’m going to do let’s think how do they do it in anime they clear the mind first?” I ask myself again.

I sit down cross my legs, close my eyes and begin to clear my mind “So what’s next?” I said and when I open my eyes I am no longer at the fort, but rather I am stood next to a river of lava in a volcanic landscape. “What the fuck… is this what my magic looks like… now I get it I need to re-forge myself in the flames, only then can I use this power without restriction,” I said as I walk into the lava.

It burs at firs but as my fear and hesitation was melted away the lava becomes a strong red light, and for the first time in my life I can honestly say that I have no fear, because the magma that is my raw power has re-forged me into a new man ready to use the magic within me.

Two hours later my red eyes open and I get up my new found power flowing in my veins, I look to my feet and see the remains of my phone I raise my right hand, and all the pieces lift up into the air I snap my fingers and my phone is back in one piece, good as new but just to be sure I take the Sim card out just to be on the safe side.

Then I power it up and it gives me a no Sim notice and I touch ignore option, if you are wondering my phone is a Samsung Galaxy, I put my newly fixed phone in my pocket then look down to the fort courtyard, focus and in a flash of red light In am in the courtyard and no longer on the top of the watch tower.

I look to my left and see some old training targets “Nice it's like someone or rather pony as the locals say left it there, just for me and I plan on making good use of them,” I said with a smirk. “Ok I think for the time being I should use spells from Skyrim, since I know the casting moves and what the spell dose, so let’s start with something simple… apprentice level fire bolt should do nicely,” I said.

I stand in front of the target is about 30 foot away from it so average mage battle range, I raise my right arm close my fingers like a cage and make a fire ball in my hand, then I extend my arm in the direction of the target and open my fingers. The fire bolt leaves my hand hits the target I do this 10 more times, to make sure that I have a hang on how to use my magic and the spell.

I decide to try the expert level thunderbolt spell but this time I pint my arm forward, put my thumb into my palm point my index and middle finger, and put my ring and pinkie into my palm and fire the spell aging with more power this continues until I end up blowing a hole into the perimeter wall, I hear a gasp from my right it was then that I realised that I am not alone anymore.
