(day 27)

"GET OFF ME!!!" This is the first time that the animals of the everfree have attacked me, I screamed as the later beast bit down and bit though the metal bracer that guarded my arm.

A mancore that I've seen a few time and walked besides with to the river to screech for any gold or gems, the lion in the first time in awhile had attack me!

I know something like this would have happened at some point but he was attacking more feral than one would normally do. The beast snarled as blood began to pour out into it's mouth as I punched it in the face to try to get it off my arm, but alas nothing so to save my arm I had to do one thing I was going to regret. Placing my hand on the grip of my .44 and pulled out the weapon to the side of the lion's head and pulled the trigger causing blood to splatter onto my face.

Closing my left eye as blood was flicked onto my left eye, the beast feel limp as I pushed the beast off myself as I held my arm as I whipped out a stimpack and jabbed into my bleeding arm. The bleeding stopped as I walked over to the corpse of the dead feline as I began to inspected what caused him to go so beastly than his normal more behaved state.

"JAAAAACCCCKKKKK!" I turned to the voice and ran.

'NO!'

(Many days ago)
(3nd POV)

Jack was looking for special herds to make for some more stimpacks but it wasn't going so well mostly because the herds there weren't any herds that matched with Bloc flowers and Xero roots. He could always have them broken down into slanet green and clone the herbs but he lacked the requirements to build a slanet green machine. So right now he had to work with what was around.

"Damnit," He sat down on a log out of luck finding any healing herbs and the guide wasn't helping because most planets in the guide where found in the wasteland.

"I see that what you seek is not what you see?" A voice spoke in the dark.
(forgive me on the rhyming if you have one better put it in the link bellow)

He turned to the the voice with a hand on his weapon.

"Hold your weapon for I came with no ill will," A cloaked figure came into the light.

Slowly he sat back down with his weapon still.

"What you seek is in the week," The figure pointed to a area near the stream.

Jack looked at the large herbs and walked over to it picking a few before getting going back to the figure.

"What are these?" Jack asked.

A hand came to the light and held out her hand, one covered in white fur with black strips along golden bracelets.

"For they are healing the leading,"

Looking at the herbs he gave a smile before pulling down his bandanna from his face reviling a smile.

"You must be Zercora correct?" The human asked.

She gave a nod before reaching back and pulling back her hood, the light shined down a face that was covered with the same fur with a black muzzle. Her eyes a yellow amber with a Mohawk matching her fur color as gold ear rings hung from her ears and many gold neck leases hugged around her neck.

"You know my name so what your name if you please?" The zebra.

"Jack Mercer is my name," Jack said as he gave a bow.

The zebra giggled.

"Such a name many hold great deeds for my Neighbor name is now seen," Zercora told.

"Sorry I should introduced myself before," The woman only waved it off.

"Now that maybe but no ill will is here on this hill,"

"Lets talk,'

(Present)
(Jack POV)

'NONONONONONONONONONONO!'

I arrived at Zercora's hut as I was meet with broken door way, quickly I went in shotgun at the ready as I entered the house to find it damage and broken vials along with other idems.

"ZERCORA!" I ran though ever room looking for my neighbor as i looked of her.

Something is terribly wrong, even the animals of the everfree have kept the kind woman alone.

"Jack,"

Turning over a pile of rubble I pulled off the fallen wood from the zerbra as I found her in a weakened state bleeding from her head. Quickly and gently I pulled her out of the rubble holding my friend close as I ran out the hut and to my home to treat her wounds. She quickly shook from the lack of warmth in her body, she had lost a lot of blood and need some FAST!

Going inside my shack I set her down on the bed as I went over to the auto-doc and began to punch in her state, the medical machine's large slender arms came forth and began to scan her for any more damage.

"Jack,"

I went to her side holding her hand in my own.

"The beast of the free have been darken from a unseen being," I heard hollowing I went over to the window to see...

'Oh no not you too woody,'

The timber wolf had his pack surrounding the front gate as the glow in his eyes held a killers eyes not one of the wolf that sat next to and ate along side. I flipped on the electrical fence as sparks shot though the links of the fence, wolves tried to break in but they were shocked by the grid. Something was wrong, terribly wrong timber wolves don't act like this they are smart but not that smart but they shouldn't be this dumb to attack a electric fence.

Turning to my injured guest as the auto-doc was treating her wounds and giving her synthic blood to replace her lost blood. Then it hit me, if the animals in the everfree were attacking out of the blue than that must me...oh no.

'Ponyville,'

I turned to the cloth covering a project of mine.

"Guess its time see if you work,"

(day 27 noon)
(PonyVille)
(3 POV)

PonyVille home of the elements of harmony and the school of magic was under attack by the animals that rested in the forest next to the town. The animals from the forest usually keep to themselves but today they did a full fledged attack upon the peaceful town, the town didn't have the elements to save them or the students from the academy for they were at the crystal empire for a field trip.

Their was no one to protect them.

Blood was being shed and screams filled the air, homes on fire, and other unspeakable actions came from the once peaceful animals.

A mother held her newborn child close to her chest as she ran out of a burning house as a group of timber wolves chased after her not caring if they were on fire. They ran forward as the mother screamed trying to shield her child from the threat behind her, one of the wolves jumped ready to bite on her flesh with it's burning wooden fangs. Before I could a large metal fist came from nowhere and punched the wolf in the face causing it's face to become a explosion of splinters.

The wolves stopped their attack and looked at the new player on the game of death that protected the mother and child, their stood a giant. More like a knight was before them but his armor didn't shine, it had rust in someplace and was dirty from head to its large boots. A black backpack was on its back along with two smaller bags on each thigh along with a knife on the left bag. The knight's chest plate, shoulders, and crouch guard where a military green and brown as one of his right shoulder held a street sign that said.

'Long 15'
(if you played fallout you understand what this is)
(also I know its a real road I've been to the Mojave in real life and good springs)

In its hands was a handmade looking weapon that had dials and switches covering the thing as the knight then turned to the woman.

"Ma'am are you alright?"

The woman couldn't say a word to the kind knight that saved her and her child's life.

"Y-y-yes," She was shaking as the wolves snarled.

"Good stay behind me," with that the knight flipped the weapon's switch as the weapon's main compartment glowed red and barrel.

One of the wolves got saw this as a threat and lunged at the knight who only aimed his weapon and fired, a beam of red light shot though the air and hit the wolf in the had as it's body glowed for a moment before turning to ash. The wolf's remains gently fell though the air and past the knight as the other wolves where shocked by the power of the knight's weapon and began to back away but the knight didn't let them. He aimed his weapon and fired quickly hitting the six wolves in the chest or head with six shots. Quickly the Knight reloaded and turned back to the woman.

"Ma'am I suggest you find a spot to hit you and your child," She got up and nodded.

"Bless you Sir knight,"

"I'm no knight,"

The attacking animals stopped their attack at the sound of the music as they turn to the source for it was the knight from before.

His feet moved to the beat of the music as he stopped before them...

"It looks something like this,"

He then fired at the wolves and other animals as red lasers danced before the town, what ever the beam hit it turned into ash as one of the animals using the ash of a fellow animal as cover it jumped onto his back. The knight quickly ripped the animal that was a wilder beast the furred creature hissed as the song began to 'hmm' and the knight grabbed something from his belt and slammed it into the beast causing blood to be shoot out. He then grabbed the beast and threw it into a group of charging bears but they were stopped by the body of their fallen comrade in arms.

"Well here comes the music,"

The body of the wilder beast exploded into a blood and guts as the bones and shrapnel from the explosion ripped the bears flesh apart. Running forward he began to fire his laser rifle in his right hand as he held another homemade rifle pipe like weapon and fired. That was until his weapons clicked as he cursed under his breath, the animals number knew no end as his ammo did. He threw his weapons as the disappeared into green light along with a flash of new green light as a police baton appear in his hands snapping it out and gave a hand flip he pointed it forward.

(think of agent Carolina from RVB)

Sparks came from the hilt to the round point, as his other hand gave 'come on'.

The horde of beast came at the lone stranger but he didn't show fear as he hit one of the bears in the head then a bugbear on it's arm with a snap breaking it. His free arm came back as a pair of sharp knuckles came out over his robotic knuckles and punched his hand through a beast that he couldn't even tell what it was, and so the battle of blood and sparks went on.

Soon the animals 'dog' piled him, he felt the teeth and claws try to make they way under his armor but he had a trick up his sleeve.

A push of a button on his wrist the knight's pulps shrank under his helm.

The beasts on his back went flying into the air as the knight gave a unholy roar.

"FUCKING KILL!!!"

A mix of psycho, buffout, jet, and Med-x caused the knight's mortal body to temporarily brake the mortal chains that held him back from his true strength. Feeling no pain and no fear the knight gave a roar as he ran forward and threw his baton into the chest of a mancore as the shock from both the wound and weapon killed it in a heart beat the knight keep forward. Another set of spike knuckles covered his other hand as he punched his ways though the crowded of meat that was a threat to him and the Village. His already full strength was added by the suit that he wore giving him the ability to rip a wilder beast in half the drugs had turned his mind to match that of his enemy.

The villagers watched as the knight tore though the beast some with faces that had mixed expressions.

Some held panic,

Shock,

Surprise,

Awe,

and Fear.

They had been at the mercy of the beast of the everfree but now they were at the mercy of this knight that gave them a taste of their own medicine. Bloody baton in one hand and in his other the head of a feral beast at his feet were the bloody remains of the animals that attacked.

(end music)
(POV Jack)

The rush had meets its end when I came back to my normal state of mind, then I saw it.

Blood...

The music stopped on my though as I turned to the crowd and what their face's held.

Fear...

I wasn't welcomed here, this wasn't the first impression I wanted to go for.

Before the guards came and what not that would add more shit to the cocktail of terribleness I turned and began to walk back in the forest with a head of a horned beast in my hand.

"Wait sir knight!"

Turning I saw the mare I saved from before as she ran up to me with her child in her hands, she came up to me and placed a hand on my shoulder.

"Thank you,"

Giving a nod I was about to turn away when something touched my leg as I turned down to see button mash giving my metal leg a hug. Then another pony came to me and placed a hand on my back and gave me a nod of approve, this caused more ponies to come to me and thank me.

'Well that was kind of unexpected,'

"Knight of steel we thank you!" A pony shouted from the crowded.

"Yes thank you stranger!" Another?

"You have a heart of gold!" Well thank you.

"YOU DESTROYED MY HOUSE!!!" Annnnnnnnd their was the negativity I was expecting.

The crowd moved to show what I could guess money bags with a very pissed look on his face.

"I'm sorry?" I stated.

"You better be! If it hadn't been for the explosion my house would still be standing!" He pointed to a house as I turned to see...really...

One of the house in the village was almost undamaged but for one of the windows that had a crack in it.

"It still is," He turned red.

"OH YEAH WELL THE MARKETING VALUE ISN'T!," I gave him a really look but my helmet masked that.

"I don't have time for this," I began to walk away.

"HEY DON'T WALK AWAY FROM ME!" He shouted.

I stopped and turned to him.

"Oh really I'm sorry but I'm pretty sure your not my dad," I told him causing his to turn a dark shade of red as I began to walk away into the forest.

"YOU BETTER HAVE A GOOD AGENT BECAUSE I'M SUEING YOU!" Again I stopped.

I didn't turn around again.

"Why is that?" I asked.

"PROPERTY DAMAGE, DISRUPTING THE PEACE, MURDER, AND IN POSSESSION OF ILLEGAL WEAPONRY!" This time I didn't do anything but flip him off and vanished into the forest.

"DON'T THINK YOU CAN HIDE IN THE FOREST! YOU WILL STAND TRIAL BLAHBLAHBLAHBLAH,"

Switching my speaker to my internal headset I began to play a favorite of mine.

(POV 3)

Money bags was yelling to the forest as the rest of the residents helped each other out until help could arrive and unaware of a figure looking at the village from far away. The figure was standing on the top of tree with one foot his hands in his pockets and a fanged smile.
