Elemancer High

The crowd was in shock at the sight of what can only be described as a beast lifted Gilda higher into the air. Gilda intentionally thought that this was some random monster that had found it’s way into the stadium until she spotted the slash marks, scar and red eye the beast had. That’s when her gut turned at the realization that this was no random monster, instead this was Tyler, the very rival she thought she’d killed.

But there was something off, other then the grayish skin he now had, along with his remaining arm, legs, chest having black fur, longer then normal hair that looked to be night blue, his blue eye was now purple however his red eye stayed the same color while eyes now had slanted pupils, he also had pointed ears, charcoal gray claws, what looked to be the start of a tail, and razor sharp teeth. Noticing she was starting to loose focus Gilda manged to escape Tyler’s death grip by kicking him off.

The gryphonness then flew high into the sky so she could catch her breath. “That was close” She thought as Tyler let out another sound that was something akin to the roar of a jaguar and the growls of an alligator.

“What the hell-?” Gilda whispered as Tyler leaped into the air, surprising everyone and then punched her straight out of the sky, sending her crashing down to the grown.

She then stood up as he landed a few feet in front of her. Before Gilda could even shoot some fire Tyler swiped at her with his remaining arm, causing her chest plate to be sliced in half along with her shirt being semi-torn as well as leaving a gash. Tyler then grabbed one of her arms before flinging her back into the sky, he then also reentered the sky before again knocking her back down to the ground, this time with a foot.

As Gilda was about stand up and try to make a break for it Tyler landed back on the ground, he then grabbed her by the tail and started swinging her around like a rag doll. “Gaha!” She grunted in agony as Tyler let go, sending her flying into a wall.

Tyler let out a sound similar to the one he previously made and leaped at Gilda, claws straightened, and mouth open revealing that all of his teeth had sharpened. However a couple of inches before the claws would pierce Gilda Tyler had reverted back to normal and collapsed on her lap, his breathing was a little fast, he was also bleeding heavily.

Gylda looked down at Tyler’s unconscious body and noticed he had the start of tears in his eyes. “Damn he may be a dweeb but he’s cute as fuck...” Gilda thought as two stretchers rushed out to the pair.

Two EMTs took Tyler and placed him on the closest stretcher before grabbing his severed arm that had somehow also reverted back to normal and wheeling him off to the stadium’s clinic. The other two helped Gilda onto the remaining stretcher before also wheeling to the clinic

Meanwhile Tyler’s friends and just about everyone else had the expression of what the hell just happened plastered on their faces, even Pinkie Pie who’s hair and tail was now at least half full had the same look everyone was displaying.

“G-Gilda has w-won match two” Principal Celestia stammered.

“Someone mind explaining what the hell just happened?” Applejack asked.

“To be honest darling...I haven't the slightest clue” Rarity replied.

“Well if what I’m suspecting is true then either that thing that Tyler turned into is his Elemancer ability or part of it...” Twilight trailed off.

“I-I don’t know but that s-sure was scary” Fluttershy added.

“But on the bright side at we have some insight to what his Elemancer ability is” Pinkie Pie replied.

“Yea but we should probably go and see if he’s alright” Twilight suggested.

Meanwhile in the clinic the medical staff immediately got to work on Tyler, Gilda on the other hand came in last and was placed next to Rainbow Dash.

“Hey Dash...how was your match?” Gilda asked nervously.

“Well since I didn’t try to kill my rival which led them to turn into a giant bipedal beast I’d say it was pretty good” Rainbow Dash snapped.

“Yea I guess what I did was kinda out of line...” Gilda replied.

“Out of line? Our of line? Are you serious, if you noticed Tyler only went to grab his sword because it was closest to him, not to mention that he tried to apologize for bumping into you but what did you do? You snapped at him and was a complete and total asshole to him!” Rainbow Dash snapped.

“Ugh you’re right” Gilda replied as she gently dragged her talons across her face.

A few minutes later the rest of Tyler’s friends showed up as Doctor Redheart walked out of the surgical part of the clinic.

“Doctor how’s Tyler?” Twilight frantically asked.

“Calm down miss, you friend Tyler is doing remarkably well, we managed to reattach his arm, I just made sure the tissue, bone and muscle was fixed, the Nurse Zecora used an elixer to finish the rest of the process along with fending off any infections, the gashes on his chest were also fixed” Dr Redheart explained.

“Well that’s good, so is there anything else?” Twilight asked, this time more relaxed.

“Aside from some cuts that are currently being bandaged he’s currently stable and expected to make a full recovery” Dr Redheart replied with a soft smile.

Tyler’s friends just let out a sigh of relief as Pinkie Pie’s hair and tail filled back up to max capacity.

“Can we see him please?” Pinkie Pie begged.

“Yea but he’s currently unconscious” Dr Redheart replied as she led the group to where Tyler was.

“Thank you” Twilight said as Dr Redheart nodded and focused her attention on Gilda.

The five girls just stood there staring at there friend not knowing what to say but all of them had concerned yet hopeful smiles on their faces.

After a while Twilight suggested that her friends go and watch the rest of the tournament which they reluctantly agreed to, they were about to head out when they heard rustling coming from the bed that Tyler was in as well as a pained groaned.

“Ugh where am I? And why do I feel like I’ve been hit by a semi doing eighty on the lower part of a hill” Tyler groaned as he went to sit up but yelped as pain shot through his left arm.

“Easy there young Tyler, for your arm may start to feel like it’s on fire” Zecora replied as she helped Tyler back down.

“Yay you’re awake!” Pinkie Pie shouted in excitement as she went to jump onto Tyler only to be caught by Twilight’s telekinesis.

“Pinkie I know you’re happy he’s awake in fact all of us are but in his current state you’d probably make it worse” Twilight replied as she tried to hide a smile.

“Hehe oops sorry, but how are you feeling Tyley?” Pinkie Pie asked as she hopped to his bedside.

“Other then aching all over I guess I’m okay, but what happened, why am I in the ER?” Tyler asked.

“Wait you seriously don’t remember?” Applejack asked.

“Remember what? All I know was felling Gilda’s talons release me from in the air and then I woke up here” Tyler replied.

“Well...lets just say that you surprised everyone” Twilight replied as she held his right hand.

“How so?”- He asked, -“also what happened to my shirt?” Tyler asked as he realized that he was topless.

“You kinda turned into a giant monster and began beating up Gilda” Pinkie Pie flat out replied.

“Wait what?” Tyler asked.

“I said you-”- Pinkie Pie started when Twilight cut her off and explained what had happened -“and that pretty much sums it up.”

“W-wait I hope I didn't kill her” Tyler asked as tears started to form.

“A little longer you would of but what ever you became subsided before the claws could break the skin” Applejack replied with a reassuring smile.

“Heh I guess we know what my Elemancer ability is” Tyler chuckled as he sighed and rested his head on the pillow.

“Well...” Twilight trailed off.

“Uh oh I don’t like the sound of that” Tyler replied.

“It’s nothing bad I swear, it’s just I was curious because your last name sounded familiar so I was reading some history about the war over a thousand years ago and stumbled upon something...” Twilight replied as she shifted where she was standing

“Well seeing as I have nothing better to do and I am curious why I have Elemancer powers yet my parents don’t so shoot” Tyler replied.

“Well does the name Titus sound familiar?” Twilight asked.

“Not exactly, then again I was never really a history buff so what do I expect” Tyler chuckled as Twilight tried to hide a smile as she rolled her eyes.

“Well from what I’ve read Titus Lawson was one of the first Elemancers, in fact he’s supposedly the origin of the physical combat Elemancer abilities” Twilight explained.

“Alright, but what does that have to do with me?” Tyler asked.

“Well he supposedly had three forms, Normal, Bestia, and Heros...”- Twilight trailed off -“what leads to my next point is Titus’s Bestia form...you see similar to what happened to you his Bestia or Beast form emerged when ever he was full of rage or was on the brink of death” Twilight added”

“So Titus supposedly was the origin of physical Elemancer combat abilities?” Tyler asked.

“Yea but can I ask you one thing? Are you Italian by any chance?” Twilight asked.

“Yea, I’m like seventy-five percent, I’m full Italian on my dad’s side while my mom and aunt are both half Italian” Tyler replied.

“Well then I think it’s safe to say that you are related if not the direct decedent of Titus” Twilight replied.

“I’m confused, if he’s directly related then how come neither of his parents have similar Elemancer abilities, plus if Titus’s Bestia form or what ever you call it is similar to what Tyler turned into then would that mean that he’d get a Heros form as well?” Applejack asked.

“Well some Elemancer powers can skip generations, though it’s usually like one to three generations and though it’s almost unheard of today but like five hundred years ago it was common for Elemancers to have the same or very similar abilities to their ancestors” Twilight Explained.

“Ugh this is a lot to take in, but I don’t want you guys to miss the rest of the day’s matches so you can go ahead and continue watching” Tyler said with a smile.

“You sure sugar cube?” Applejack asked.

“Yea, I’ll be fine and besides I think I have my phone with me” Tyler replied as he searched for his phone, after he found it he showed them.

“Alright then darling, I hope you get better soon” Rarity said.

“Yea, so I can give you a giant hug and bake you the bestest cake you ever had!” Pinkie Pie added.

“I look forward to it”- Tyler replied as the group of mares walked out of the room -“What a day” He groaned before putting it on the Tournament.
