NOTE: In this chapter, perspective changes will occur. Please pay attention to who's perspective it is from so that you may not be confused on where the story is going.

If there is anyone that I love more than the police department, it is a cocky bastard who thinks he will win. Watching as a person's hopes and optimism washes away as they lay on the ground halfway dead is enough to make me shiver in pleasure. Perhaps I'm thinking too much, probably should focus on the enemy in front of me.

"You must have a good sense of humor." I started, "With thinking you can beat me and all."

"Do you think me, a dark king, is going to lose to an ape?" Sombra chuckled, "I highly doubt I will."

"Apes in my world dominated and rode horses for centuries. This isn't anything new to me. The only difference is that I don't have a saddle to fully achieve the goal." I guess the thought of wearing a saddle and being rode around like a common animal got to him, because he charged at me with a weapon I never got to fully see until it came in contact with my tabs.

"I see that your perception is perfectly in tact." He said bitterly, not liking that I read him like a book. I looked towards his weapon.

"I'm going to be perfectly honest, that is the best weapon I've ever seen." I pointed towards the weapon in question. The weapon in his hand was a black and red themed scythe. On top of it was a black crystal that seemed to have been powered with energy. I watched as the handle changed between black and green in a smooth transition. He charged again, but this time I was a lot more prepared. I ran past his slash and manage to get a clean slice on his cheek. I watched the wound and noticed that it didn't bleed. It just burned up and his skin regrew.

"Using a plain weapon on gas? I don't think you are going to get far." Sombra really won't make this easy, huh?

"I guess it wont, so how about if I actually use my tab's abilities?" I made my sword turn red. Sombra held his chest as he laughed.

"I don't think changing the color of your blade will do much." This pony sure does talk a lot of shit. I ran towards him and manage to slash him in the opposite cheek. He gave off a minor grunt in pain. Instead of him regenerating his skin back, his cheek started to bleed a dark red. He looked to me, with a bunch of anger clear on his face.

"Now you will probably take me seriously. Not that it will help you." I smiled. My turn to talk shit now. To be fair, I'm not even trying at the moment. If I have to kill someone, I'm going to have fun doing so. Now on his guard, the dark king ran at me and our weapons clashed. Pushing him back with more force, his legs started to buckle from under him. Not wanting to take the risk, he pulled back. I wasn't going to let him get away. I charged at him as he was moving back. He went wide-eyed at my speed, but quickly recovered enough to parry my attack with his scythe, moving a whole lot further back than he intended to. He still looked at me angrily.

"Who are you?" He asked. I disappeared from view and appeared behind him.

"Just an ape." I whispered in his ears, causing him to bring the scythe up as he turned around. I parried that shit with ease. I wasn't going to give him any room to breathe, so I swung my tab again. He only barely parried it. I grabbed two of the tabs into my hand and started slashing at him. He started to struggle as my attacks became more and more frequent. He attempted to jump back, but I only followed him as he did so. Suddenly, I was knocked back from an attack. Out of nowhere, his scythe started glowing.

"I refuse to lose to you!" He must have been at the limit his anger can get. He slashed his glowing scythe through the air. I wondered what he was doing, but I got the picture as three of his slashes were floating in mid air before rushing towards me. I parried two of them, causing both of the tabs to break into pieces. The third one managed to hit me straight in the chest. I held my chest as I started coughing blood. "Now you will probably take me seriously. Not that it will help you." He repeated those same words I said earlier right back to me.

"Get up, Axel!" I heard voices, causing me to look around. After a fair bit of looking, I saw that there was this window-like object in the air. Inside were the 6 ponies along with the married couple.

"Don't lose to him!" Rainbow screamed.

"Ya got this!" Applejack yelled. I looked back to the king and he chuckled.

"Get up again, I dare you." As he was swinging his scythe to puncture my heart, I smiled. If we are being honest, I literally acted hurt just to see how cocky he could get. When I use my tabs, it reduces the pain I endure, and not by a little bit either. Seriously, even being set on fire feels like a warm coat I'm wearing during the winter. Since he did come out with his special move, I should come out with mine.

A large boom sounded, signifying that my spell was working, and I felt the red aura around me. My chest, now being perfectly fine, looked like I hadn't been hit at all. I've been wanting to use this spell for a while, but I never knew I felt this eager to use it. I looked to the others, who seemed to have been surprised by my sudden movement. King Sombra, now feeling uneasy about the aura I held, shot me with a magical blast from his horn. The attack landed, but it did not have any effect on me or my body. He started slashing the air and made those black lines appear again before sending them towards me, only for the same result to happen. He then started to get desperate and started slashing at me with his scythe, but it kept fading through me as if I wasn't there. Sometimes he would throw a kick or buck my way, only for me to block them with my bare arms like they were nothing. His weapon continued to fade through me for quite some time. After a few minutes of rapid-slashing, I saw that the attacks were getting weaker and less frequent. Is this how God feels like everyday? I could get used to this. Finding that his attacks weren't working, he stepped back and looked to me with furious anger.

"Impossible! HOW ARE YOU DOING THAT!?" He demanded an answer, shooting me with the strongest blast he could muster. Take a guess at what happened. I stayed silent, not smiling, staring at him with an unreadable expression. Weird that I actually scared him by existing, but it's his fault for getting him in this situation.

"Enough talk," I finally gave him my smile. My canines seemed to have scared him a bit, "I've had my fill of fun, and you have too. Now all that is left is for one of us to go down, right?" He looked at me like a servant who disobeyed his master. "I mean, I could be willing to back off if you would be so kind as to leave and never come back." He shot another bolt of dark light at me. This time I caught it in midair and started rubbing along the surface with my hand. "Eh, It's your choice I guess. Goodbye, old pony." I waved at him before lunging forward in an instant and grabbing his neck. I then squeezed as hard as I could, causing him to struggle, gurgle, and do whatever he can to escape my grasp, but to no avail. Blood started to travel out of his mouth and neck, and his movements gradually slowed down. After about a minute of struggling and panicking, I let go of his neck and let him fall to the ground, blood pooling around him. Time to indulge in my rewards. I used a tab to cut off his horn and took his scythe from the ground. I then reached into the pit of his stomach and took out the dark crystal that fueled him. It must have been completely loaded with dark energy, because the moment I took it out, his body transformed back into a normal pony. I then smashed his head in and made his body completely unrecognizable before heading back towards the castle. I looked back to that window in the sky and saw everyone inside wore horrified looks. After a second of looking, and chuckling at their wave of horror, I continued towards the castle, the weight of the blood that stained my clothes making me walk slower than usual. "Fucking hell will this be a bitch to get off."

I did give signs that it wouldn't be easy. I guess when you are focused on getting your city back, you just don't take your opponent's strength into account. Not that I'm one to talk, anyway. The walk back to the castle was eventful in the ponies eyes. You know, with a creature they've never seen before walking around with blood on his clothes like it's nothing. No one will ever know how much I wanted to roll on the ground laughing at the statements that were made. To name a few things that were said:

"What in a crystal's garage is that?!?!"

"Holy horse-apples!"

"The hay?!?"

I swear if I die in this world, it would probably be not having access to a new pair of lungs after damaging my current ones. As I made it to the gate, trying not to laugh my insides out, the two guards standing out front stopped me. They looked at my appearance. The one on the left turned green, but still remain stoic. The other one, however, pulled out a pair of handcuffs.

"I'm going to have to detain you until we figure out how you got in your current state." He said. I guess word doesn't travel that fast around here.

"You do know that I got this much blood on my clothes by killing Sombra, right?" I said. He gave off a chuckle.

"Yeah, and I beat Celestia in a magic duel without a horn." He joked. I guess I'll let him look like an idiot when we make it to the throne room. I let him cuff me, which I could break out of easily by the way, and we continued our advance to the throne room.

The travel so far had been very silent. I decided to break the ice.

"Soooo, how's life?" I asked. The guard looked back at me.

"I'd rather you refrain from talking to me." He said in a cold manner. Fuck it, let's see how mad he can get.

"Why?"

"Because you are a prisoner, and I'm a guard. I have nothing to say to scum like you."

"But you said something to me."

"I only did it to answer your question."

"So why did you reply to my statement."

"What statement?"

"But you said something to me." He started to look frustrated.

"Just shut up, will you?"

"You did it again."

"Did what again?"

"Answer my statement." His face started to change to match his frustration. We went into the throne room and saw the couple, the Elements of Harmony, and the Royal Sisters look up to us. Actually, I don't think he realizes that we made it here yet, so I'm going to play with him a little bit more.

"If you don't shut up now, I'm going to slap you." I know he's a male, but I gotta do it.

"That sounds kinky, but can we not do this in the hallway?" Now he's showing his anger.

"Now what makes you think I'm gay?!" He yelled at me, startling everyone behind him. I'm surprised they let this drag out this long.

"What makes you think I'm a guy? You've never seen a human before." He started pondering that for a moment. I look behind him and saw everyone else in the room ponder that same question.

"Are you a girl?" He asked, albeit with a lot less anger and more curiously.

"Nah, I'm messing with you. I'm 100% male, and slap me, I dare you." His anger came back with its buddy named furious. If he hits me, he will pay dearly.

"Shut up!" As his hand went to slap my cheek, Twilight tried to intervene, but failed. As his slap landed, everyone in the room cringed at the sound of the slap. I held my cheek as almost everyone in the room held a hoof to their mouth. All except Shining, who looked in disbelief at the guard. I'm pretty sure it's against their protocol to slap their prisoners for personal anger.

"Don't say I di-"

"STOP!" Celestia intervened just then and interrupted me, placing both of her hooves in one of my hands. The guard was completely shook as he realized that we were long in the throne room.... and that he slapped me in front of the princesses. Celestia rested her forehead in my hand, everyone in the room caught off guard. I just stood there and looked at her. "Please, don't hurt him! This guard only did it out of anger. I ask that you don't hold anything against him!" Huh? The usually calm and collected princess actually pleading with me to not hurt someone? I've never seen someone plead for someone of so little standing before. That brought back some cold memories, not that they affect me as bad as they used to. I turned and pointed to Shining.

"Let's play roulette then. Shining, give me a number between 1 and 6." Shining was very confused on where this came from, but complied with my request nonetheless.

"3."

"Understood." I said, turning to the guard and impaling his back-left leg. Shining and the others experienced their second wave of horror that day.

"What was the number all about!?" Shining asked.

"I labeled a number in my head for every part of his body. 1 through 4 were each of his legs, 5 being his horn, and 6 being his tail." Everyone, Celestia included, seemed spooked at my way of handling this.

"I'm g-glad y-you didn't pick 5." Twilight said, shaking while holding on to Shining. I was confused on why that one specifically, so I asked about it.

"Why 5?" Celestia answered my question.

"Because while unicorn horns can be reattached and not scar or cause any permanent damage, being left without a horn for too long can prove fatal for the unicorn victim."

"To be honest, this game was pretty tame compared to my original idea. Burning someone to death and healing them throughout the course of an hour would've been my forte."

"I know burns are bad, but why would you heal him?" Cadence, that is a stupid question.

"If you know the pain of burns, even minor ones, you would know why." The ponies thought about it for a second before realizing what I meant. Horror is all their gonna feel when I'm around I guess, because that third wave of horror actually showed in the eyes alone.

After that fiasco, the guard was taken into the infirmary to have his leg checked out. Meanwhile, everyone was at the dinner table and it make me realize something that was sincerely important.

"Do you have any meat here?" Everyone looked up to me.

"You eat meat?" Rainbow Dash said. I pulled my cheek back to show her my canines.

"Humans are omnivores." Everyone, bar Shining and Twilight, were on edge on knowing that information. However, Twilight on the other hand, was looking at me with a twinkle in her eye. Shining looked like he just didn't care that I ate meat. I mean, he is a guard so I guess he has to learn about those things if he ever had to leave the country for a mission of some sort.

"D-Do you eat....." Fluttershy trailed off as I looked up to her. I already knew what she was going to ask.

"Pony meat isn't part of a general human diet. Eating things like that varies human to human, although it is looked down upon to eat those kinds of things. The only way where people would only get a feel for pony meat is if they are in survival mode."

"Survival mode?" Twilight said, getting uncomfortably close. I flicked her head and she went back into her seat. After holding her head, she glared at me. "What was that for?"

"My personal space is my personal space, Sparklebutt." She gave me a sheepish smile before realizing the name I called her, however she didn't speak out on it. "Survival mode is when a creature is in danger of dying due to lack of food or water, so they forget all morals and focus on surviving, whether they liked the food they hunted or not. Pony meat falls into the category as a survival mode meat. We can eat it, but we don't want to if we don't have to." The entire room nodded their heads in understanding at my explanation. Celestia looked to me.

"To answer your question from earlier, we can get you certain types of fish, but if you wanted any other meats, then that would have to come from somewhere else and you would have to figure out that problem yourself. Within the law of course."

I nodded before deciding to take the fish. As the plate came in front of me, I looked and inspected it. I'm not going to lie, that fish looks fresh as fuck. This will not do at all. I decided to use science to my advantage.

"Do you guys have any sunflower seeds?" The entire room was completely bewildered by my question.

"What are you going to do with those?" Luna asked.

"Don't worry about it." She looked to me one more time before my request appeared right in front of me. "Okay, now does anyone have any bleach?" Now the entire room was questioning what I was about to do.

"You better not be trying to hurt somepony." Celestia said with a bit of anger.

"I'm not." On quick response, bleach was in front of me. "Thanks." Now that I had the entire room's attention, I was going to blow some minds. I took the bleach and rose it out of its bottle and left it floating in mid air. Using [Shield Break] on the chemical bonds caused them to snap, allowing me to obtain the chlorine that was from the bleach. Next, I broke down the sunflower seeds with the bottom of the plate and gathered the sodium from it. Satisfied, I mixed the wasted seeds, now without sodium, and mixed them with the other chemicals in the bleach before disposing of both. I then very carefully attached bonds to the sodium and chlorine contents. Satisfied that it was all done, I looked to the powder for one second and then put it into my empty glass. True confusion started rolling in when I started spreading the concoction on the fish.

"If I may be so bold as to ask, what is that?" Luna looked perturbed. Everyone else then went into panic mode as I started eating the fish.

"YOU DO KNOW THAT BLEACH CAN KILL YOU, RIGHT?!" Twilight was on edge along with the rest of her friends. Celestia, on the other hand, knew exactly what I did.

"It would've if it was actually bleach anymore."

"Huh?" I thought she played with chemicals in her basement. Maybe salt doesn't exist in Equestria?

"Okay, what is sodium?" I asked her. She wasted no time in saying:

"A highly explosive and flammable chemical." She gave the short answer.

"Alright, now what is chlorine?"

"A highly radioactive chemical that is mainly used for killing bacteria or unwanted filth."

"Kay', now what happens when you bond them together?" That question stumped Twilight hardcore as she thought about it for a second.

"Wouldn't it be common sense to assume that two deadly things make something that is even deadlier?" Celestia chimed in. I wagged my finger.

"Quite the opposite. Sodium, a highly explosive chemical. Chlorine, a highly radioactive chemical. Come together to make...." I motioned for Rainbow Dash to take a small amount in her hoof. She then licked it and the entire room went wide-eyed. Rainbow Dash looked at me in disbelief.

"That can't be true. I thought this had to be magically made." So that answers my question on if they had salt here or not. These lazy ass ponies can make anything with magic, can they? I mean I technically did, so I guess I can't say anything about it.

"What do ya mean?" Applejack was confused.

"It tastes like salt."

"That is exactly what it is." The entire table now had completely surprised looks on their face. "Using science to make something rather than using magic is a lot more fun." The twinkle in Sparklebutt's eye made me gawk with the adorableness that she gave off.

"That is amazing!" She looked like she was about to jump up and down. How much time does she spend studying, I wonder?

"I could teach you later. Now, about my fight with Discord..."

Perspective: Feather Duster

I got back to the town square where my mom was supposed to be waiting, but as I got there, I noticed that it was pretty empty.

"Hello?" I called out. No response. I started getting worried, wanting my mom even more. I walked around to check some of the places out, but to no avail. Then I remembered that there was this creature with blood all over himself who just walked by casually. I wonder if he has anything to do with this.

"Follow Me." This cryptically deep voice said. I then looked to the source. It was a black-colored pony who was wearing guard armor. Maybe he will get me to my parents? After I turned to him, he started walking down the road and rounded the corner. Following him there, I noticed that he stopped right at the turn.

"Follow Me." Ooookay, this is starting to get creepy. He then walked in between two buildings into an alleyway. I could get into some serious trouble with my mom if she found out about this. Wait, what am I saying? This is a guard. He won't hurt me. I then went into the alleyway. As I rounded the corner and went inside, I felt myself being grabbed by the legs and smacked on the back of my head. The last thing I saw was what looked to be someone's leg, but thought against the idea of it being a pony because there were holes all around it.

"You have done well, Phorus. Your disguise was picture perfect." The voice sorta had an evil edge to it. Although, those were the last things I heard before falling unconscious.

Author's Note

Fucking hell does life throw everything at me so I can't get chapters out. No matter now I guess, because its out.
