Half a man

So I finally got around to write a chapter for this story. Granted its short, but its setting the scene for the next chapter.

I stood there, unsure of what I just witnessed.

'Did that pony just talk? Have I gone completely insane? Only one way to find out....'

As I put one foot forward, the pony backed away a step. This continued until she was backed up onto a wall, with me only a foot away. Extending my hand, I began to realize that the poor thing was trembling.

'Dammit, she's scared now, that is if she's even real...'

With my hand merely an inch away from the wide-eyed pony, I suddenly felt my legs give out under me, as if a freight train hit them. Letting out a pained scream as I hit the ground, another feminine voice with a southern accent pierced the air.

"Get yer claws off a BonBon!", the voice said. Searching for the bastard who attacked me, I spotted yet another pony only a few feet ahead of me. This one had an orange coat and blonde mane, which was oddly put into a ponytail.

'Okay, apparently these things are real enough to hurt me, but this one is fucking wearing a cowboy hat!'

Putting my arms under me to support myself, I attempted to get back up but was stopped as I felt an immense pain in my right leg. Sparing a look to that appendage, I was shocked to see it twisted into an unnatural position. Glancing at my attacker, I said the first thing that came to mind.

"YOU BITCH." The pony took a few seconds to register what I said, but soon responded.

"You can talk?", she questioned.

"No shit I can talk, and why did you BREAK MY LEG!", I said angrily as I motioned to my now useless limb.

"You were gonna hurt Bon Bon!", she retorted.

"No I wasn't, I was checking to see if she was real..."

"Why wouldn't she be real?", she asked with a raised brow.

"Oh I'm sorry, its not like I see talking ponies every fucking day."

"What da ya mean? And what exactly are you?"

"If its alright, I won't answer those questions to the animal that broke my bones." The pony looked as if she was about to say something, but her eyes seemed to look behind me. Rolling myself around, I was greeted by a rainbow kicking me in the face. The force of the kick sent both me and my mask skidding across the ground until my body went limp on the side of the building as my mask fell into a bush. Feeling my mind fade, the controller of my body was changing.

Sleep my host, I will take care of the problem at hand.

'No.... Please.... Don't....'

Do not fight it, let the darkness consume you.

Trying to stay awake, I realized that it was useless as my vision began to fade, and the darkness began to embrace you.

Now its my turn...

"Rainbow Dash, why did ya hit him if he was already down!?" Applejack shouted at her friend.

"Well I'm sorry for trying to save you from that monster!" Rainbow Dash shouted back. Before Applejack could continue the argument further, she noticed the strange creature moving in the distance. Straining her eyes, she notice that the creature was now standing, but its leg was still broken which made it favor one leg. The most frightening thing she noticed however was the black aura surrounding the creature which seemed to pour out a feeling of death.

The creature looked around, until its eyes set themselves upon her and Rainbow dash. One was as white as Celestia's coat while the other was as dark as Nightmare Moon. Spotting its new targets, the creature let out a toothy smile which revealed its canines before it made a mad dash towards the mares.
