//-------------------------------------------------------// Noir spider -by Thehellrodmaster- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Prolouge //-------------------------------------------------------// Prolouge 6 years ago I yelled in pain as more, and more of my blood was being extracted while they cut me open. It was the same thing everyday. They would bring me from my cell and strap me to this godforsaken bed. They had given me food every few days and water came in a small bowl ever night. "is this to be my life?". I asked no one in particular. There were over forty of us 'lucky experiments'. Now there were only three of us left. They had just finished with their experiments with me for the day and they unrestrained me. I was still to weak to move, and a guard had to come and help me. This guard had a look of pity when he looked at one of us. He truly felt sorry. We are only children, so what was he supposed to be thinking? He had been wearing blue armor and he carried around an MK-47. He had brown hair and green eyes, along with pale skin. He finished leading me into a corridor. We walked more in silence. I stared at the floor. My reflection was all I could see in it. Dark chocolate hair, and brown eyes. No shirt, and covered in large scars. The left side of my head had a small scar on it from the experiments these mad scientists do to me. I was lead into the dungeon where the guard opened the gate and held it open for me to walk inside. I walked in and I plopped down on my lower bunk. My roommate had died a few weeks ago so I had no one to keep me company. Not everyone in this place was so terrible. Some of them were... Nice. They gave us a basic education, and would sometimes sneak us an extra ration. Not to toot my own horn but I am smart enough to be in highschool. I looked around the cell. Large, four bunk beds, and dust. Alot of dust. I sighed. These experiments had been a total success. I have retractable claws on my feet and hands, I have micro organisms that were also genetically engineered. The micro organisms allow me to stick to any surface with my whole body, but it is strongest on my finger tips and feet. An indestructible chip was implanted into my brain to warn me of danger. I can shoot black silk like webbing from my wrists. With a steroid like substance they injected into my muscles, I can now lift two thousand pounds. There was another serum that hardened my bones to a near indestructible state. The chip in my brain cannot be removed without killing me. At least it helps with my agility. I unsheathed my claws and cared at them. They were sharp, and they glistened with the small amount of light. I yawned before curling into a ball and falling asleep. The next day it was the same routine. I would get forcefully woken up and I would get taken do the research labs. Today though was different. They were going to torture me for the fun of it. No experiments. Just the sounds of my pained screams. Lasers were burning through my arm and my chest. I let loose an agonizing screech. All the scientists did was laugh. It wasn't the worst thing they have ever done to me. They could kill me. Doors burst open and I turned my head through the burning lasers. Men in blue uniforms barged in the room with pistols. They stared in horror at me. One of them came to my side and deactivated the torture machine and inspected my wounds. "oh my god..". Was all the man in blue said while inspecting me. He turned back towards the group of scientists who had their arms in the air. Within the hour I, along with the other three experiments were outside wrapped in blankets. Later I would find myself in the hospital where the doctor took my blood sample. After coming back he told me of how my blood matches the blood of an infants who had vanished when he was two. Going over genetics, he found my family and I was reunited with them. Many tears were shared that day. Mostly on moms side. I had come to meet my brother's. Benjamin, Lary, James, and damien. Over the bast six years I would grow closer to my family. Though they knew I was haunted by the state of Texas. My step dad Michael, had been given a job offer to go to canterlot as the canterlot high irrigation technician. They desperately needed one and I was in need to leave the state. We moved a few months later and arrived in canterlot for the last day of summer which was already nearing an end. Author's Note Hope you enjoyed the prologue! I wanted Ivan to be a little further from spider man noir so I gave him the claws and artificial abilities. //-------------------------------------------------------// Going to school //-------------------------------------------------------// Going to school I woke up to the sound of the alarm clock buzzing. It was right next to me bed, and since waking up this early in the morning was completely alien to me I reacted. With incredible speed I reached out and slammed my hand on the alarm clock. It shattered upon contact with my annoyed strength. I could hear shuffling as one of my brothers crawled down from the top bunk. It was Benjamin. He had dark chocolate hair just like me and he looked like he was used to waking up at seven in the morning. "not another alarm clock.". He said. He was annoyed with me. My family were the only people who knew about my powers, and I intend to keep it that way. I groaned as I tried to get up. "do I really have to go through with this?". I asked. Today I would start my first day of school, and it would be my first time going to a school. Everything I was taught was by the more compassionate scientists. "yeah. Look mom and Mich won't be home for until 2:30. We have to go now. Mom is still here. She wanted to give us a ride to school today.". Benjamin explained to me. In reality I didn't care. I was a freak of nature now. mom and dad ironically convinced me to be canterlot's next superhero/antihero. Needless to say I am a freak of nature that will go out into the city in a black coat and a mask that mom made for me. I shook that out of my head, and crawled out of bed and put on a grey shirt. I put on some blue jeans some socks and my sneakers. I looked at my new room one last time. It was large enough for me and Benjamin, with a bunk bed, a desk, a t.v., and a video game system. I still need to find time to learn what video games really really are. I walked out of the room and headed down the steps. My other siblings had already been taken to school by my step father. I continued and went down the stairs. Once I was down, I saw the kitchen on the other side of the room. I ate a quick bowl of cereal and milk. Which tasted Amazing. I saw my mother, and she looked like she was preparing for a day of meeting people. She had light brown hair with blue eyes. She was wearing a red skirt and blue skinny jeans. "are you boys ready?". She asked. I nodded while Benjamin belched in agreement. We had just arrived at the school. I gulped. Mom knew why I was nervous. She wanted to go in there with me but there was work to be done. "you'll be fine Ivan.". She said. I sighed and opened the car door and walked out. Benjamin came out behind me. We looked at the school and I was not to impressed. They have a horse Statue. We started to walk towards the front doors of the school. As we did I caught site of seven girls all idly chatting amongst themselves. I Tried to be polite. "good morning.". I simply said as we passed by. They seemed to have reacted to us as we were entered the school. We followed a map on the walls and went to the principal's office. Pov Main 7 The seven girls all looked amongst each other. "Two new students. That doesn't sound good.". Rainbow dash said. This group of girls has had a bad experience with new students and these two might cause trouble. "what if they really are new students here to learn?". The shy, Fluttershy asked. Applejack nodded her head in agreement. "listen 'ere. They might cause trouble. They might not. Let's jus' keep our eyes on them.". Applejack said. Everyone agreed to apple jacks plan. "I'll write to princess twilight that we have two new students and that we are keeping an eye on them.". Sunset shimmer said. Pov Ivan Me and Benjamin waited patiently as vice principal Luna readied our talk with principal Celestia. We waited for several minutes before the door opened revealing vice principal Luna. "you may both come in.". She said. We both raised from our seats and walked into the next room. Principal Celestia was gorgeous to say the least. Though I let it get past me and ignored her looks and focused on the saddened expression on her face. She took a deep breath and relaxed. "Ivan, Benjamin. I would like to welcome you both to canterlot high school.". The woman said. She had pity in her voice. I know it when I hear it. I had to listen to it for the first few months after being rescued. "is something wrong?". I asked. She nodded. She reached into her drawer and pulled out two files. She handed one to Benjamin. "Benjamin. I would like you to try and find your way to class.". She said. Benjamin took his schedule out of her hand and he had a smile on his face. He walked outside and left the room. "Ivan I would like you to know that your parents told me of your... Past...". Celestia said. "I understand.". I said. She continued with how sorry she is, and if I needed to talk to anyone, I could talk to her. I nodded. I was about to walk out of the room with my schedule in hand when Celestia stopped me again. "Ivan. I want you to make some friends while you are here.". She said. I gave her a smile and a thumbs up. With that I walked out of the room and walked straight for a map that was stapled to the wall. I looked at my schedule and headed off towards the east end of the school. First period First period was theater. I grew an interest in it after watching the 'Julius Caesar' play online. When I walked in I was given a few curious glances by the students but I passed it off. The class itself was more of an auditorium then a class room. I said hello to the teacher, and she just looked at me. One of the students spoke up. "she's mute!". He shouted. That makes sense. I sat down in a random chair and a girl sat next to me. She had purple hair with a strand of pink. She had glasses and her hair was tied in a bun. "good morning.". I said. "good morning to you to. I'm Twilight sparkle.". She said. "Ivan Rodriguez.". I said as we shook hands. "quick question. What do you think of magic?". Twilight asked. I raised an eyebrow. "it's not real.". I said plainly. She was wide eyed at this. For the rest of the period I watched videos that the teacher was showing us on acting. I thought it was kinda relaxing. //-------------------------------------------------------// 1st day of school //-------------------------------------------------------// 1st day of school After my first period I had health class. I wish I didn't have to take it but it wasn't optional. I walked into the classroom, after getting lost once. I had still made it just in time. As I walked in I saw the teacher giving me a slight smile. I approached him. "good morning sir.". I said as politely as possible. "good morning to you to.". He replied. He started looking over my papers for a moment. "alright I would like you to sit over there in that empty seat.". He finally said. I turned my head to where he was pointing, and I nodded. I took my seat, and waited for him to give out instructions. Then a girl came into the class she had yellow skin and pink hair. She was beautiful. She approached the teacher. "oh Mr. Grover, I am so sorry I'm late.". She said in a very shy manner. Mr. Grover seemed to be OK with her being late as long as she didn't do it to much. She took her seat. Which just so happened to have been next to me. I didn't want to seem weird so I just decided not to look or say anything unless she did. I never was the social type. Mostly because people only gave me pity when they spoke to me. Maybe she might be the same? No. The only two people in this school who know about my past is principal Celestia, and vice principal Luna. The chip in my brain started telling me that I am being watched. I turned to my right slowly. Then I turned to my left to see the shy girl, had been looking at me from behind her hair. "um hello?". I whispered. She replied with a very light "eep". It was so silent that I could barely hear it. As soon as she made that noise she directed her attention back to Mr. Grover who had just started class. I didn't want to get in trouble nor did I want to get her in trouble, so I just decided to leave her alone. The class went on pretty quick after that. I had lunch next, and I intended to have something at least edible. From what Benjamin said, school lunches are terrible. I saw Benjamin and I waved him over. He came over and set his plate next to mine. "how's your first ever day of school?". He asked me. I shrugged. "it's alright. Met a girl named Twilight in theater. Then I saw this really pretty girl in health class.". I responded. I mentally face palmed. He was chuckling. "oh really. T-". He was cut off from what he was about to say by a female voice. "um excuse me?". She said. We both looked at her. She was wearing a skin tight leather jacket, and blue jeans. Her hair was red and yellow. "can we help you?". I asked. Benjamin always hated when I was being polite but he knew how to keep it to himself. "well me and my friends were wondering if we could sit with you. Since you're new and all.". She said. I shrugged. "I don't see anything wrong with that. She had a nervous smile when she left to get her friends. She came back a few seconds later with two familiar faces and the rest I didn't know. "oh hi Twilight.". I said. Twilight smiled and sat down with her tray of food. The rest of the group sat down as well. One of them looked like they were ready to tear my head off, if I tried anything funny. "so I know Twilight, but I don't know the rest of you.". I said. "MA names applejack.". The Stetson wearing girl said. "I am am rarity. A pleasure darling.". The obvious British accent girl said. "rainbow dash.". The rainbow haired girl muttered. "I'm pinkie! Party planner extraordinaire!". The hyper girl shouted. "I'm sunset.". The girl said. She was clearly unsure about us. I could tell by how she spoke to us. "I'm Fluttershy...". The shy girl finally said. I have to hand it to her. Her personality suits her name well. "my name is Benjamin. This is my older brother, Ivan.". Benjamin introduced us both. I took a spoonful of my mash potatoes, and my sleeve rolled up a bit. It revealed some of the millions of scars I had all over my body. Fluttershy gasped. "what happened to your arm... If you don't mind me asking?". She asked. She sounded so concerned. Though it was something I didn't like to talk about. "that's personal.". Benjamin said for me. He sounded serious about it, and it made the rest of the girls straighten a little bit. Rainbow looked angry. "well excuse my friend for being concerned!". Rainbow spoke up. "well excuse me if my brother can't talk about these scars because he isn't ready yet.". Benjamin stated. Rainbow let her suspicions get the best of her. "alright cut the act. I know you two are up to something! What are you hiding?". Rainbow said. "can we not talk about it please?". I asked. I actually sounded like I was on the verge of tears. "it's something I had to suffer through since I was two. I don't like to talk about it.". I said. Everyone calmed down. Even Rainbow looked at me with pity. Lunch ended, and before I walked out of the room, Fluttershy gave me a pity hug. Then she broke it and walked away. I didn't think much of it. I walked away and finished the school day with science and history. I actually shared history with applejack. When that final period ended I saw applejack again. She waved goodbye to me before getting into a car and driving away. After mom picked up me and Benjamin she gave me a smirk. "what's with that look?". I asked. "who was that you were waving goodbye to?". She asked with interest. "a new friend.". I said. //-------------------------------------------------------// Noir //-------------------------------------------------------// Noir Darkness Depression Fear And emotionless. I come to fully understand these words at a very young age. An age where one should have their innocence. Though I never got to have my innocence. The moon light shined down on me like a spot light. I wore a black trench coat made of leather, a black shirt, blue jeans, finger less gloves, and my sneakers. I clung to the slide of a building about two hundred feet in the air. No one noticed me. I grinned. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a bikers mask. It was wind proof, and had a special spot in the center of the mask that allowed me to breath. Stitched to the mask was a pair of goggles that had a white visor. I put it over my face. My coat wasn't buttoned up and I reached into an inner pocket and pulled out a Fedora. It was folded to fit in the large inner pocket. I unfolded it and put it on over my masked head. It stuck to my head like it was stuck and I glanced around at the ground. People were walking around and minding their own business. Cars of all shapes and sizes past by. I took a deep breath and I pushed myself off the building. As I went forward I did a single back flip. On the ground, I could hear people shouting about me falling from the sky. Once again I grinned and I dived down further and further. I stuck my left arm to the left and spun a web. It hit a nearby crane and I was pulled into a swing. I let go of the web and spun another one. People gasped loudly and pulled out their phones. I spun another web. This time from my right wrist, and went into another series of swings and flips. I felt alive. All of that came to a halt when I heard a scream. I extended my left arm and yanked the web I spun. The result was me zipping across the street faster than I could swing. I clung to the side of the wall. My eyes widened at the sight. Applejack. She was being surrounded by a group of men. They all had black coats, and had mettle pipes and they did not look keen on going easy on her. "alright lady let's make this easy on everyone.". One of the thugs said. "give us your money, and we won't be to ruff with us.". He finished. Applejack herself looked like she was about to piss herself. She sounded so confident, and strong when I met her. "ah said go away!". Applejack yelled. One of the thugs walked up to her and back handed her to the ground. I couldn't take it anymore and I dropped from the side of the wall. I landed in front of applejack in a crouched position. I heard her gasp in surprise. The thugs were shocked to. They shook out of it and the leader had a smug grin on his face. "who are you supposed to be?". He asked. Underneath my mask I had a scowl but I decided to answer. "none of your business .". I simply said. They all started laughing at me. "really?! Are you some batman knockoff or some stupid shit?!". The leader yelled after his laughter died. I crossed my arms in an x position and I unsheathed my claws. The thugs all stopped laughing, and instead started to sweat. My claws were made of a hardened liquid version of steel, and were at least two inches long. One of the thugs charged at me. It was the leader. He attempted to strike me but I jumped high into the air and landed a short distance away from him. I spun a web and it hit him in the back. I pulled him to me and when I had him in my right arm I punched him twice in the face with my left fist. I then threw him on the ground and shot an enormous amount of webbing to bind him. I turned around to see that the other thugs looked scared shitless. "the big man will have your head freak!". One of the remaining men said. Another man tried to take me down. He swung his pipe at me only for me to catch it in midair. I then spun around with a force that took the pipe, and I turned around to hit the man hard in the face. The last two turned to run away but I webbed one of them and brought them to me. "then take a message to your 'big man'. Expect your thugs to be hospitalized... Or dead!". I put venom into that last word. I brought back a fist and knocked the man unconscious. I turned around to see applejack giving me a curious glance. I approached her. She slowly started to back away. "are you alright ma'am?". I asked. She tensed up a little. Then she relaxed knowing that I protected her. "um... Yeah... Thanks partner.". She was uneasy. Probably afraid of what I might do to her. "why did those men attack you?". I asked. She looked away for a moment. "I was hanging out with ma friends when it started getting late. Ah was walking towards where I parked ma car, and those guys came up to me. Ya know the rest.". She said shamefully. "there's shame in your voice. They did something didn't they?". I asked getting angry. "no! I... They wanted to do things to me because they found me... Attractive...". She whispered that last word with a hint of venom. She was one of the only woman I ever saw who didn't want to be looked at for her looks. Under my mask I smiled. I put my hand on her shoulder after I retracted my claws. "there's nothing wrong with you. Anyone who only looks at your body is blind.". I tried to reassure her. It worked. "thanks partner.". She said. I turned to take my leave. "wait!". I heard applejack yell. I turned around to face her. She was walking towards me with a raised eyebrow. "who are ya?". She asked. I turned around to leave again. "noir.". I said. "thank you noir. Fer savin me.". She said. I extended my arms and shot some webbing. I pulled on the two strands and allowed myself to fly upwards and into the night. //-------------------------------------------------------// Your worst nightmare //-------------------------------------------------------// Your worst nightmare The night was quiet. It was relaxing to say the least. Back in Texas it was even quieter, but I wasn't complaining with the slight change in how quiet it could get. I was in a crouched position on a lamp post. I surveyed the street. It was filled with peace. I put my mask on, and prepared to leave this neighborhood. I jumped and dived down. I grabbed onto the top of the lamp post and spun around. When I let go, I was launched to the other side of the neighborhood. I broke into a web swing as I searched for anything that required my attention. I was let go of my current web and performed a back flip. I dived down and web zipped towards a nearby telephone pole. The chip in my brain started to Blare. I jumped to the other side of the street as a large explosion broke through a bank wall. There were two men, and two females. They all weren't wearing masks. What exactly was their plan if they got caught? I zipped back to the telephone pole. The four robbers each carried bags of money. "way to go gang.". The leading female said. She took a few steps forward. "that was easier than I thought.". She continued. They started walk towards a van that was accross the street. I used my webbing and hit the robber in the back of the group. The webbing hit him in the mouth, while a second strand came by and hit his leg. I pulled hard and the man was heaved into the air with light muffles. The group must have heard him though. They had turned around and we're shocked to see their comrade missing. I jumped into an alleyway next to the leader and shot another strand of webbing. It hit her square in the face, and I pulled her towards me. She mostly flew towards me. I punched her several times before she past out. There were only two people left and they had just realized that they were alone. "cut our losses and run?". The woman said. Her voice was trembling with fear. The man nodded several times. I was back on the telephone poles as I watched the two run away in different directions. I jumped and landed on the first one. I landed on her shoulders, and I leaned backwards. I used some webbing to pull her hard to the ground. The moment she had collided with the ground, she looked up only for me to land feet first on her face. The impact killed her. It's not like I care. People die all the time, but there are those like this woman who truly deserve to die. People like her only want to take and take, and leave everyone else with nothing. Though deep down I did have a twinge of guilt. I have killed before. Mostly during experiments to see if I was useful for combat, but this was different. I pushed that guilt away and I leapt off into the air to find the last bank robber. Two hours later He had gotten a head start but I caught up with him. He even ended up leading me to his base of operations. It was a rundown wrestling ring. I entered through the sky light and saw a cat walk, hanging above the ring and the audience seats. The entire place was rundown and covered in dust. There were old posters from 1997 in here. I placed myself on the catwalk but noticed how loosly it hung from the ceiling. It creaked as my weight was added to its own. It still looked like it would come down at any moment. I looked down and noticed the bank robber came into the room. Other people walked in with him. One of them was big and bulky with a sledge hammer. The other eight figures had crowbars, pipes, or a gun of some kind. They all had started to gather around on top of the wrestling ring, and started to converse about how they were going to get caught. "the big man will kill the others.". The escapee robber said. I could take them down one at a time or I could just jump down there and take them all down faster. "I don't think we are gonna get caught for a while.". The big buff man said. He was plenty sure that they picked the perfect place to hide. They think that they are safe in here. They don't know that they trapped themselves here with me. I dropped down, and shot two stands of webbing. I pulled the moment I shot them. When I zipped, my feet collided with a thugs head. A loud crack indicated a broken skull. I got up and quickly took advantage of the shocked criminals. I ran forward and I performed an uppercut. The man was launched into the air. I jumped and I started to punch and kick the man in mid air. His bones were broken and I could tell by a loud snapping noise. "RRRRAAAAAGH!!!!". A crazed scream almost caused me to go deaf. The giant burly man tried to strike me with his sledge hammer but I quickly dodged it. I jumped and landed on the man's back. I performed a series of punches on the back of the man's head, until he was able to grab me and throw me on the ground. I got up and unsheathed my claws. I charged and dodged another strike meant for my head. I ended up behind the man, and using my claws, I began to claw my way up to the massive man's back ant towards his head. He screamed in agony until I dug my claws deep into his head. I sheathed my claws and ran forward to deal with the rest of the criminals. They barely had put up a fight after the large man fell, and one of them even surrendered to me. I knocked him out quick as a reward for surrendering. After dealing with the criminals I dialed 911 on my phone. As I was about to leave one of the thugs spoke. "what are you?!". He shouted. I thought for a moment. "I'm your big man's worst nightmare.". Author's Note Hello everyone. How was stopping bank robbers for a chapter? I thought that the story needed a little more action and a feeling of spider man noir. So from here on out, every other chapter will consist of Ivan playing the role of noir. You will get to help by giving me a crime for Ivan to solve. //-------------------------------------------------------// The invitation //-------------------------------------------------------// The invitation Pov Applejack I was getting myself ready for school (duh). I put on a white shirt, some skinny jeans, and my belt that had an apple emblem on it. I looked in the mirror and started to work my hair into a single ponytail. Afterwards I put on my favorite Stetson hat and walked towards my door. Then I stopped. I looked my room and realized that everything was in need of a clean up after school. It was mostly an empty room except for the hat rack next to the door and Winona's sleeping pillow. Winona is my herding dog and she seemed to have been outside already. My bed was next to the door and window. On the other side of my bed was a table that had three kinds of perfume on it. Rarity had given them to me encase I would need it for that special someone. I walked down stairs after putting on my boots and I could smell pancakes. Along the yellow wallpaper of the house were several photos, and portraits. I smiled at one of me. It was taken the day after I realized that the farm was my home. "applejack! You better hurry! Big Mac made the pancakes right for the first time!". My little sister applebloom yelled in excitement. That made me smirk. Big Mac had never been able to make pancakes right but he can bake just fine. "a'm comin a'm comin! Don't get yer hair in a knot.". I said as I entered the kitchen / dining room. Applebloom was sitting at the table eating pancakes. She was a freshman for the school just like ivan's brother Benjamin. She had red hair and a large bow that could be seen from the other side of the room. She wore a yellow button up shirt and blue jeans. I took a seat across from her. Big Mac placed a plate in front of me. It had a stack of four pancakes on it. They smelled like apple and cinnamon. Big Mac was a taller guy. He had brown hair and eyes with reddish skin. He wore a red shirt and blue jeans. "thank ya kindly bro.". I said to him. "Eyup.". Was all he replied. Big Mac was not much for conversation. Some people mistake him of being mute sometimes. As I started to eat my breakfast I heard an elderly woman speak out. "alright youngins. I gotta get to the school to help make the lunches!". She said. Granny Smith. She was not as old as most would expect. She wore a lunch ladies attire, and had a voice that could kill. She looked over to me. "applejack I need you to tell me again what that masked man looked like.". She said. I rolled my eyes. Ever since I was saved by Noir, Granny Smith won't leave me alone about him. I myself know that I haven't stopped thinking about about him, but could you blame me? "Granny I told you. Noir came in and saved me, before disappearing. He was in a black coat and a mask with goggles.". I explained my hero to Granny Smith again. Granny scoffed at me. She wasn't going to be convinced unless she saw noir herself. I was thinking about going somewhere dangerous, but I shut that thought out of my head. I could never risk granny's life. I looked at the time. I quickly ate the rest of my breakfast and me applebloom, and Big Mac were in a car going to school. Ten minutes later As I got out of the passenger seat I was greeted by rarity. She seemed excited about something. "applejack darling! I was waiting for you.". She said. She was in her normal skirt that was blue and white, with blue boots. "well howdy rares. What y'all up to today?". I asked. Rarity pulled out a piece of paper. It was some kind of ticket. "well darling, I was invited to a special fashion show, and the theme was rodeo! I was just wondering if you wanted to come along darling.". Rarity explained. I thought it over for a moment. I didn't have anything else planned for tomorrow and since it started getting colder and colder, house work is all we can really do at the farm besides feed the animals. I agreed. "alright rares I got nothin else to do. So when is this?". I asked. She was beaming to have a friend over at the show. "the show is tomorrow, but it's out of town. I'll pick you up tonight and we'll drive over the bridge.". She was practically ecstatic. "thank you so much for agreeing applejack! Everyone else said no, or they were too busy. I even asked sweetie bell, but she said she's trying to get noticed by Ben-". She froze. I raised an eyebrow. "y'all OK sugarcube?". I asked. Rarity slowly nodded before she walked away slowly, and carefully. Almost like a ninja. I was weirder out by her behavior, but I pushed it aside and walked into school. Pov ivan School wasn't exactly on my mind today. Last night after I had defeated that gang of bank robbers, I found a prerecorded message. Some Guy named hammer head and his gang were being sent to attack the bridge tonight. It's going to be a large Extortion barricade. In the message they had said they paid off the entire police force except for a certain captain shining armour to stay away from the bridge. They covered their way around but what they hadn't prepared for was the criminal killing nature that's in me. I know that at the right price you could convince anyone to do anything. That made me angry with the police force. They were supposed to be our protectors and here they are getting paid by the bad guys, to not do their jobs. I saw applejack and rarity in the distance. I waved over to them. "hey girls!". I shouted, getting their attention. They turned towards me and applejack was the only one to give me a meaningful smile. Rarity's smile was genuine, but to me it looked forced. She's just that kind of person. "well howdy Ivan!". Applejack said. "good morning you two. What's up?". I asked. They started to explain to me what their plans were. I kept a straight face but inside I was screaming at the top of my lungs. "hey rarity! I change my mind!". The voice of sweetie bell said. Rarity looked all too happy. She had a third ticket and handed it to her sister. Well this will complicate some things. Author's Note I took some advice and went into other characters point of views. I would also like to remind that this is only my first actual legit fic. I didn't really expect this many people to like it, but thank you so much! //-------------------------------------------------------// Hammerhead //-------------------------------------------------------// Hammerhead pov ivan I spun a web and allowed myself to swing. This was a terrible plot for a bad comic book. Were the police really this corrupt to get bought off by one gang. I scowled as I free fell. Spinning another web I swung once more. I landed on a crane nearby. Traffic was terrible tonight. Just like how terrible my night is already. Mom scolded me again about killing robbers and thieves, but I told her that they were no different than the scientists who experimented on me. She seemed to have teared up and dropped it. I have my reasons to kill. Whoever the leader of this large gang is, I am going to make him suffer. I shook my head at the sound of yelling, and gunfire. The bridge was only a block away. I broke into a swing once more and within less than two minutes I was on top of one of the pillars of the bridge surveying the situation. At least forty men were blocking off the traffic inside the bridge. There were another twenty yanking people out of cars, and robbing them. This is the strangest robbing spree I have ever seen. First things first. I need to take out the men who are guarding the entry way. With little effort I webbed several of them several feet into the air. When the webbing dissolves, they will surely fall to their deaths. It will be quick and painless. One of the goons spotted me. I had to act before he shot me with his machine gun. I web zipped to him and delivered a bone breaking punch. He went unconscious after that. I smiled at the sight of his gun. An old fashioned revolver. I played with it a little bit to see how the bullets came in and out. I checked the man and pulled out more bullets. Satisfied with my ammunition and holster I "acquired" I web zipped back out of sight. Taking out the rest of the guard was incredibly easy. Now that I have a side arm, this was child's play. Most of these goons would just get their brains splattered on the ground. I felt no pity for them, nor do I feel any kind of regret. I ensured that they would never hurt people again. Anyways, I was now digging deeper into the bridge. I had to be careful now. People were already escaping but I still had to help the people here in the middle. I sadly won't be able to use my new revolver. I felt a little disappointed that I couldn't use my new toy, but I shook it off like always. I dropped from where I was and landed on one of the thugs. He gave a low grunt before I sunk my claws into his neck. Once done I webbed him in a cocoon and with some effort swung him to the second story. I took a deep breath as I repeated the process. People were frightened by me of course. Though I had my ways to get them to safety. I threatened to shoot them. Many of them had thanked me, but they were not on my mind. Applejack. Where are you? I guess you to rarity. I was rambling on in my head. I never had these "emotions". Though when applejacks around I just want to pop. I pull through though. I sank my claws into the head of the last law breaker on the bridge. I smiled knowing the people were safe now. I was about to swing away when I heard the sound of a gun cocking. Turning my head was a man with a fancy suit with a bulging forehead. The forehead had a massive amount of scars on it. Under my mask I had a raised eyebrow. Though it turned into wide eyes. In his arms was sweety belle. Rarity's little sister. "OK listen here spider, or noir, or what ever the hell yer name is.". He said as he was slowly approaching me with sweety belle in his arms, and a machine gun pointed at her head. Streams of tears were flowing through her eyes. I, myself wanted to cry. "look. You have been causing quite a problem for the big man. We never had to kill anyone to stay hidden. No time like the present.". The bulky man said. "let her go!". I yelled to him. "please! Let her go!". Another voice rang out. I looked to my left to see rarity crying her eyes out. Applejack stood next to her, but she was eyeing me. Like she was expecting me to pull a miracle out of my ass. "look! No one has to get hurt. So why don't you just let the girl go, and we'll settle this the old fashion way.". I said. He seemed to have been taking that into account. I could tell because he stopped and drifted off into space. He lifted the girl into the air and quickly threw her. OFF OF THE BRIDGE!! "NO!!!". Me rarity, and applejack all shouted in unison. I jumped off the bridge and dive towards the screaming damsel in distress. Quickly grabbing hold of her with my right arm, I spun a web. "hope I can make it." I whispered. The web hit the side of the bridge to my relief. We stopped and were frozen in place. "hold on tight.". I said. She nodded. She hugged me, and repeatedly said thank you. I honestly hatted being thanked. I pulled us up for about five minutes. That's when we reached the top. Rarity and applejack had wide eyes. They hugged sweety belle. I looked around but couldn't find a trace of hammerhead. I jumped and swung off. I landed in an alley way that was next to a building that was next to the bridge. I didn't care about how far I should have gone. I was tired. I was about to take the mask off when "um wait!". I turned around to see applejack. "you left your friend?". I asked. I was playing dumb. Applejack hesitated. "she's getting her car ready to head back to her house.". She simply said. I was about to jump and swing off again but stopped. There was a weight on my. Applejack was hugging me. "thank you. I owe you one.". She said. I rolled my eyes. "pretty sure you owe me two.". I said sarcastically. She caught on. She was blushing. She put her hands on my shoulders. She slowly pulled up a part of my mask. "what ar-". I was cut off by her lips being pressed against mine. They were soft yet ruff. I found myself closing my eyes. Enjoying this moment. This late for several seconds before a car honking made applejack pull away and run out of the alley way. I groaned. Weirdest night ever. Author's Note I know this was terrible. I just have very little inspiration to actually write this now. Now that I have started writing my latest fic, this just kinda ran away from me. This chapter, I didn't even know how I should word it. I'm thinking about putting this fic up for adoption. //-------------------------------------------------------// demons //-------------------------------------------------------// demons I awake to the sound of clanking metal. Men shouting is heard. I open my eyes to see, darkness. I look around my room to see... A cell. My eyes widened in horror as lights began to blur. Instead of pajamas, I was wearing a single pair of grey pants. My entire body was covered head to toe in scars. I was about to panic. Was my entire life a dream? A sick joke my mind was playing on me? I was knocked out of my trance as the cell gate opened. I was escorted out of the room and into a hallway which was all to familiar to me. I then ended up in the lab. The experimentation table was under a bright spotlight. If I dreamt years worth of memories, then I just went through this yesterday. My heart sank as I was strapped to the table. Voices were muffled and the sound of rubber filled the air. I gulped a little bit as a scientist have a wicked smile on his face. He then slammed a scalpel deep into my chest. For hours on end I screamed in agony as they would constantly switch their tools on me. At one point they needed to use lasers to rip open my flesh, so my muscles wouldn't tear through. Tears I didn't know I had streamed down my face. It wasn't because of the pain. It was because I knew that somehow this was either real or not real. It felt and looked real. Though the memories I have made said otherwise. After hours of the endless experiments and torture I was lead back into my cell. I was laid on the hard slab attached to the wall, that the scientists call a bed. I closed my eyes quickly after that. I woke up. Sweat was pouring down my face. The sound of a new alarm clock blared in my ear. Instead of reaching for it, it looked around to see my new house in canterlot. I started to cry, and I curled into a ball. Benjamin seemed to have noticed me because I have been in this state for thirty minutes without knowing, and mom had sat down next to me. She was slowly stroking my hair and she also seemed to be saddened by the sight of my state. I straightened out a few minutes later and I got dressed with red eyes. After all of that I went downstairs. Mom was looking at me worriedly. "Ivan... Are you OK?". She asked. I sighed. "just a nightmare.". I said. Her eyes widened. "you were..". She paused. I finished it for her. "I was at the science facility.". I said. Truth be told I was holding back more tears. School started with a B. Day. Would have four periods a day, then four the next. Today was B. Day so I had fith period to go to first. It was gym class. Twilight and rainbow dash had the same class, which i was glad to at least have one person here I know. Today we just had to run laps. I started to think about my nightmare last night as I jogged at a steady pace. I could see flash backs of the most painful times of my life. As I jogged, Twilight and rainbow dash jogged up to me. "hey Ivan!". Twilight said. She was huffing a little bit. I slowed down to a pace she could be more comfortable in. She gave me a smile for that. Rainbow just scoffed. "so how's it going Twilight?". I asked the lavender skinned girl. "I'm fine but you look terrible. Want to talk about it?". She asked. I sighed. "it's something I can't talk about. If I do, then I remember the physical pain.". I said. Twilight looked shocked. Rainbow looked more suspicious than she already did. "does it have to do with your scars?". Twilight asked, innocently. Nodded my head as we jogged. "come on! Don't leave us in suspense! Just tell us already!". Rainbow dash said. I was practically done with her already. I stopped in front of her. I gave her a look that said 'you shouldn't have done that.'. "if you want to know so damn badly. Talk to Celestia. Tell her I said it was OK.". I said. I started to jog away with a confused twilight and a scared rainbow, who now can get her answers. I only told rainbow to ask Celestia about my past because, it was gonna be a conversation eventually, and I was already tired of her looking at me with hate. The period came to an end, and I went to my next period. I had math. Unfortunately I didn't have any of my friends in there. During lunch I sat down with all of my new friends. Applejack sounded extremely confident in herself. Not busy her pride, but who she was as a person. She stated talking about how she got rescued by noir. I grinned. Then the conversation got weird. "after ah realized he was protectin me I felt so safe. Like nothin was ever gonna harm me with him around. He even made me feel better about who ah am.". She said with dreamy eyes. Benjamin slightly chuckled. He patted my shoulder. He gave me a thumbs up while no one was looking. I smoked him upside the head. After school I was about to walk out of the school when I heard sniffling. I turned around and saw rainbow standing there. "are you OK rainbow?". I asked. My answer was her tackling me in a hug. She kept her sobbing and I just stroked her hair, like what my mom did for me this morning. She seemed to have calmed down alot. "I am so sorry Ivan.". She said. I continued to stroke her hair. "shhh shhhh, hey it's alright. It's behind me now, and I forgive you.". I said. She looked up at me with a sad smile. She hugged me tighter. "just promise me you won't say anything.". I said. She started nodding ferociously. "I understand.". She said. Benjamin was a few feet away. He was laughing so hard he fell over. He got his bearings after I slapped him. We both walked out of the building with smiles. Though on the inside I will always feel dead. For I feel little for the wicked I pray on their fear Their evil is a fire That I must extinguish I am noir Hunter of those who harm the innocent Author's Note Hey everyone.
