spirt of friendship

It has been a week since I gotten that sack form the farm and in that time I believe the locals now call me the "Everfree beast" or something like that. I like the name just don't like what it means for me and for what they think I am. They think I am some mindless monster just waiting for they to sleep so I could steal something of theirs. I lean to not take things to the heart, be as it is not setting a good first impression for my people and the rest of the world I come from but then again I am trapped here and jest want to go home so there's that. But there is this feeling of dred creeping up my spine and letting myself second guess on what I can and cannot do. I feel like something in the moon is watching me with a critical eye and it likes want I can do for it. I know it is evil but I don't know why I am in its interest and what it has planned for me but I am sure that I am not going to like it. I have even noticed ponies in armor hunting for me the reason is either to capture me or kill me I don't know which one is worst but I think I would die then be tested by these ponies. But I hope I have nothing to do with that evil but if it dose what I think it will I will so no mercy.

Meanwhile in ponyville third POV

In the middle of ponyville a hot air balloon lands and two passengers step out into the town. One a tall purple dragon with green spines on his back and a yellow under belly. He was wear a well dressed suit and tie. The other one was a purple unicorn with an purple mane with a pink highlight going threw it. She looked around hesitant to do anything as there was something else on her mind and the task that the princess gave her was not helping at the least. The dragon then looked toward her and tapped her on the shoulder to get her attention. "Hey twilight you can trust my mother when she says not to worry about nightmare moon." The unicorn look at the dragon and sighed as the princess maybe right. And the faster she could get this done the fast she can investigate n the legend of nightmare moon. She then smiled and saw a pink earth pony to well make a friend but as soon as she said hi the pink mare gasped and zipped away in a pink buff of smoke. Both twilight and the dragon were both confused on what just happened and twilight looked toward spike and asked.

"Well Spike what is owner first task for the Sumer Sun Celebration" Spike smiled and forgetting what happened in the last minute, pulled out a list he kept in a pocket on him. He then looked over the contexts of the list and the first thing he said out loud.

"owner first task is to check up on the food being made by the apple family." Both headed in the direction of the apple farm one of the founding farms of ponyville. As they got closer to the gate of the apple farm they noticed unicorn guards around and in the apple trees looking around and being on guard for something. Twilight was a little confused and was wondering on what was going on to lead to this many guards in one place. Twilight tried to ask but they just ignored her and continued to look for anything that looks like the beast. It wasn't until spike talk to one of them and they kneeled and said to spike.

"My prince. I didn't know you where here. If you want to know, but we need to talk about it in private." Spike looked back to twilight and nodded and both him and the guard made sure that twilight wasn't listening. Spike then looked back to her and then at the guard and asked.

"Alright, what is going on in this town and why did my mother send you here." The guard sighed and decided to tell the truth in a more lay back tone and relaxed way.

"Well sir Princess Celestria order us to capture a creature that has been terrorizing the ponies of this barn." Spikes eyes widen and he was a little more worried as he spent some time with twilight so he is a little more than worried that nightmare moon may return. The guard then noticed that the prince seem to get pale and that worried the guard. "My prince are you okay?" Spike snapped out of it and decided that the creature is possibly not connect to nightmare moon.

"Yes I am fine, you continue with what your doing. After all the Summer Sun celebration is to night." Spike then connected back with twilight and both headed to the farm to meet the apples and check up on the summer sun celebration. Both saw a orange mare bucking a tree with a powerful kick. But she seem to be mad and detracted by something that happened. Twilight walked up and tried to intrude herself, the key word there is tried. The earth pony mare kicked the tree so hard it snapped in half like it was a twig. Both twilight and spike were scared to their core but the have a job to do and they are going to do it. Twilight cleared her throat and began to speak to the orange mare.

"Excuse me I am here to see if the food is ready for the Summer Sun Celebration." The orange mare turned and smiled as she knew the castle would sent someone to check on how the food is come along, she just hoped that thing doesn't show its ugly mug or she will be all to happy to punch the living shit out of it.

"Well howdee there I am Applejack. Put it there partner." As Applejack send that she gripped twilights hand and sook it with some of her strength. Twilight was still trying to speak but was was being shaken by Applejack. It was until Spike cut into the shake did she finally stop. "Well never expected to see the prince good day to you your highness." Applejack tipped her hat to the dragon prince and spike was happy to see that the locals are fine with having royalty around. Spike then reapplied with the biggest smile.

"Well thank you for having me I hope the food is be pared and ready to go?" Applejack then smiled again and happily lead them to the dinner table. Twilight then saw the large buffet of apple treats and foods. She then thought to her self that this will be a while and that was until Applejack family came out.

Meanwhile in the everfree forest. Chaz POV

As I sit in bed I think on what I should do for today. Should I hunt, or maybe go back to that farm. As I thought I look torn the sky and I notice the moon was still out. It didn't bother me until I saw four stars all around the moon. That was enough to send me out side to get a better look but as so as I did I could feel something evil trying to escape but I don't know where or how it will escape. I then look off to the north and I see the smoke of that pony town. It is risky but it may have the best change that I would find answers of what this evil. I decided to bring only my pocket knife and the bow with a quiver of arrows. If I am going to that town I am not getting caught, and if they find me I only hurt them, I do not Kill. I run into the forest heading north toward the town and wearing my green hoodie blue jeans and convers. Running threw the forest was hard enough with all threes and bushes, you could get lost. But add the monster that come out of this place and you got one deadly maze on your hands. As I ran I could hear something behind me. Lucky it wasn't a manticore rather it was a single timber wolf chasing me threw the forest. I glared in anger and said out loud, " I do not have time for your shit right now." As I said that I readied a arrow and was waiting for the perfect time to fire. As the timber wolf got closer I quickly turned around aimed and fired. The arrow flew across the air and hit the timber wolf right in the eye. It fell to pieces and I cheered that I hit it right in the eye. But I thought timber wolfs go it packs and work together. At that moment another timber wolf jumped out and attacked me from the bush to the right of me. Lucky I lived here for months and I leaned how these timber wolfs work and how to kill them easy. Quickly drawing my pocket knife I slashed it away and knocked it way from me. I was in pain as it landed I aimed and readied a arrow and fired. The arrow flew and fit the timber wolf in the eye and it fell into several pieces. I the decided to run as I have no time for these timber wolfs. I close my eyes and take a deep breath letting the strength of the black bear help me run. I open my eyes and I was running fast than I have ever ran before. Dodging and weaving threw the trees and making it to the town.

Has I ran I stopped at the edge of the forest and I could see several ponies walking around. Well the town was still several miles away so what I could see was a hot air balloon right in the middle. But I could look for long as one of the guard ponies was heading toward my location. I quickly dived in a brush and covered my legs and feet as my hoodie was a forest green. I just hoped that the armored unicorn was blind and can't see me. As he past he stopped and my heart skipped a beat. He stopped and looked around then without warring he sneezed shrugged and continued walking. I took a sigh a relief and continued to head to town. But I got mothing to hind my face or to hide anything really. That was until I noticed that I had bandages that could cover my face and hands if I use only a small amount. I quickly used the bandages to only cover my face and hands and still have several more. I then put on my sunglasses and I realized how stupid of a plan this is. But I am just full of stupid plans and I am not stopping now. I step out in the open and the guard noticed and he rushed me , that was until I put up my hands and yelled. "Wait I am not a monster." The guard stopped and looked at me with shock and then he regained his fighting spirit and aimed his sword at while saying.

"Who are you and what is your business being in the forest.?" Quickly I came up with a lie and it was half truth but just going to lie on what I am.

"I am just a explorer heading to town after exploring this dangerous forest." The guard then looked at me with a critical eye and he noticed my bow and bandages.

"Why are you covered in bandages and what with the bow?" I want to just kick the pony in the chin and get this over with but that would end badly.

"The bandages was do to one of the monsters attacking me. And the bow is a family relic that I use to protect myself." The guard nodded and relaxed around me and said with a kinder tone.

"Well be careful and if you don't mind if I ask. What are you? A type of tailless pony?" That was then I realized this was a really bad plan but I just play the 'I don't want to talk about it' card.

"I don't really like to talk about that it is a birth defect." The guard nodded and said sorry before walking away and leaving me to think to myself. 'THAT WOKED!!!' I mean sure there was some hope but most of it was I am going to get caught and tested and killed. But nevermind that I have to figure out what is happening and that town maybe the only way to find it. I walked to the town and wondered on what I would find there, homes? Family or are they different to my kind or do they get along with each other unlike us stupid humans. As I approached the town I noticed that everyone stopped to look at me and then go back to what they were doing. I guess I am not that creepy or crazy looking worthy of a second glance. As I walked farther into the town I noticed that all the house looked like the one back when knights were around. Or am I thinking of another period in own time. Before I could think more of that a brown Pegasus colt walked up to me and hand me a flier and said.

"Come see the Summer Sun Celebration stranger, It will be the most you ever stayed up at night." I doubted that as I stayed up until it was the next day where I came from. As i grabbed the flier I then suspected that this had something to do with the evil I am feeling and it seem to get stronger with ever hour that pastes. I tried to asked more questions about this town and what the 'Sumer Sun celebration' was all about. But that little guy ran off somewhere when I wasn't paying attention. I sighed and face palmed wondering why that little guy decided to only pick me, it probably has something to do on what I look like. I then notice a pink mare with a buffing and darker pink mane caring party supplies to who knows where. I decided to ask her about the Summer Sun Celebration, as I walked toward her she seem to be having trouble with the supplies. Before she could fall I caught the box at the bottom and stopped the one from the top from falling. The pink mare the took a sigh of relief and looked around the box to thank me. But before that she stopped dead in her tracks. She then took the long gasp I have ever heard and she zipped away in a puff of pink smoke. I stood there wondering on what I just saw and wondering if I am in a cartoon dew to the way she moved. I then realized that the party stuff was really heavy but I was born and raised in the res and I learned to handle caring couches with some help. But what ever was in the boxes was really weighing me down. That was when the pink mare came up again snatched the boxes and said.

"Thank for the help BYE!" Then she zipped away and I was still questioning wither or not I am still a regular person or if I finally got off the deep end. But I shacked off the shock and then looked around for anyone else to ask about the Summer Sun Celebration. That was when a rainbow dashed over head above me and cleared the clouds where gone in ten seconds or less. I then saw the same rainbow mane Pegasus wearing the same outfit as I first encounter her. But it was who she was landing in front of that caught my attention. A tall dragon wearing a well tailored suit and a purple unicorn with a purple mane with a pink highlight going threw it. She was wearing a school uniform with the skirt that when over the knee and hind a lot as if it was to short people would be staring. I the approached the group hopping that the rainbow mane mare would not recognizes me as I am wearing something different from that encounter but I was still wondering how this plan is working. I walked up to the group and the tall dragon noticed me and he seem to get worried on what I am. I stopped and looked at him more until his friend tapped him on the shoulder and they began to walk away but I couldn't let that happen as I needed answers to the many question I have. I ran toward them and yelled.

"Hey wait I need to ask you something!" The unicorn looked at me with confusion and then shock then suddenly fear. I stopped and was wondering on why she was staring at me like that until the tall dragon held her shoulder and told her something I couldn't hear. He then walked toward me and had a look on his face that was suppose to be scary be I was with scarier people. I then walked closer to the Dragon in which was two feet taller than me but that never stopped me from fighting them. He looked at me and then said with a voice that was suppose to be commanding and I really hate people telling me what to do.

"What are you and what do you need to ask?" I sighed and decided to tell him what I think and the half truth.

"I am just a wonderer who is wondering what this Summer Sun Celebration is all about. And drop the act I have seen scarier things in that forest." That seem to surprise to what I just said and he dropped the tuff act and seem to just be disappointed in himself. He then looked at me and decided to humor me and explain the Celebration.

"It to Celebrate the raising of the sun by my mother Princess Celestia." That statement confused me but I shook it off as I am in another world and it may have other rule of reality. I then looked at the dragon and he was staring at the unicorn and signaling her that he alright or something but he then turned around and asked something I was ready to answer.

"What happened to you that needs that many bandages?" I look at him and give him the same lie I told the guard this time adding the reason for the bandages in more detail.

"I am a wonderer so I have wondered in the forest and was attacked by a wooden wolf leaving me hurt but not dead." That seem to calm him and he walked back to the unicorn mare that was still looking at me with fear but continued to walk away with the dragon. That was when I realized I never got their names but I never gave them mine so I really don't care.

Meanwhile with Spike and Twilight. Spike POV

As I walk away from the strange wonderer and I was debating if that thing is the everfree beast that the locals have been talking about. But that was the least of my worries as Twilight seem to be panicking at what that wonderer was. I hold her shoulder and asked with concern. "You alright twilight you seem pretty scared at the wonder." Twilight then looked at me and said something I wished she had forgot about.

"No that wonderer fits the description of another legend from the book I read." I then raise an eye brow as I thought she just got that today. Has she been reading that book for the entire day and I never noticed. She then opened the saddle bag on her hip and pulled out the same book that had the nightmare moon legend. She then turned to the page in which had the hooded figure with a bow, axe and knife with the bold letters the said Spirit of The Black Bear. I was confused at first but the twilight read the description of the legend. " It says here that the Spirit Warrior will help those who need it and punish the ones who do wrong." I couldn't believe what I was hearing and I didn't. We came here to make sure the Summer Sun Celebration and make friends. I sighed and reminded twilight on why we are here and that she could do research the legends when we where done with everything.

Back with Chaz. Chaz POV

As I walked I noticed that the Summer Sun Celebration maybe where the evil will strike I just have a feeling. The feeling of evil was getting stronger with every hour that passes and sunset is nearing. As I walked I noticed that the ponies where waving at him like I was just like them. I was confused and surprised to see them be so kind but I could see them look at me with disgust and fear. The fear I was use to as my family made a lot of enemies and we had shown those same enemies not to fuck with the Cooleys. Show the dirty looks were not to out of home but the disgust was something new, do I smell? I put those thoughts down and focus on where this Summer Sun Celebration is going to take place. Suddenly that pink mare popped out of nowhere and dropped a letter and then disappeared. I took a moment to collect my mind as this mare is braking my brain and leaving it into pieces. I pick up the letter and opened it to see that it was a party invite. The only problem was that I don't know where it was, that was where I noticed that there was writing that said 'the gait tree in the middle of the town.' I was really trying not to scream WHAT THE FUCK at the top of my lugs but I just decided to walk to the tree. As I got closer to the tree the same dragon and unicorn mare where on the front lawn talking to... The first Pegasus mare I met and may have scared do to the manticore I killed. I decided to wait until the party started to enter the tree house? As I waited the unicorn mare pulled the Dragon inside and slam the door on the pore yellow Pegasus mare face. Now that was just rude to the person you where talking to. Anyway I then moved to see if the party had started as the Pegasus mare started to walk away but that was until we both hear a loud "SURPRISE!!" We both turn and that pink mare invites her in and see me then also pulls me in. I notice how corroded it is and this made me a little uncomfortable as I am not good at parties. Suddenly that pink mare popped up in my face and said in a flash.

"HimynameispinkiepieandInotciedthatyouwherenewintownandIhadtothrowyouandathankyouforhelpingme!" I didn't understand a single word she said but the hug was nice as I am a hug person. She then disappeared into the croud and I hoped that I would have a moment to gather my thoughts and maybe avoid people or ponies of this party. That was until I backed up into someone and she timidly said.

"Oh I am sorry." I turn around and saw the same yellow Pegasus I scared the living shit out of. I then backed away and decided to saw what was on my mind.

"No I am sorry I backed into you." The Pegasus then nodded and noticed what I was and what I looked like. She then looked at me and gasped in shock. Right then and there I thought that she recognized me and that would be the end of what this terrible plan this really was. But that never happened instead the Pegasus mare then grabbed my hand and asked with genuine worry.

"Oh my, what happened to you?" I then remembered that I was covered in bandages and acted like I was hurt well recovering from and injurie. I then told the same lie he been sticking with threw out this really stupid plan.

"I am a wonderer and I was exploring that forest when I was attacked by a wooden wolf." She gasped and then looked even more worried than before and she then said.

"You explore the everfree forest that place is dangerous so do you need me to rebandage you?" I was surprised by that offer but I quickly then said.

"No but thanks for the offer." We both smiled well she couldn't see mine but it was still good to she her smile in stead of screaming.

"My name is Fluttershy." She said and we both just enjoyed each other company. She would ask what I eat and what I look like under the bandages and for once I told the truth. I told her what I was and she was interested. Lucky I was wearing my Ghost mask and she didn't recognize me. The night came and the party was over well there was still pe- or I mean ponies staying up and waiting for the summer sun celebration. I noticed that Fluttershy was sound asleep and only three hours until sun rise. I needed some sleep to so I decided to take a nap right on the chare and I know when to wake up as I don't dream. I was then awakened by the same dragon looking at me with confusion. I then noticed that it was nearly seven and the sun would be rising in maybe thirty minutes. I then looked at the dragon and said.

"Thanks for waking me up dude." He then looked at me as I got up and he then said back to me.

"Spike, my name is spike." I then headed for the front door and noticed Fluttershy was no long there. As I stepped out I gave him the sign that said goodbye but I doubt he knows what that means. As I walked into the town I noticed that everyone was heading to the center of the town. But as I got closer I could feel the evil nearby like it was planning on everyone being here. I was ready for anything and when I noticed that the princess would be shown to do what ever she would do. I wasn't paying attention on what the other were doing but when the currents open and there was no one there I knew something was going down. Suddenly a pearl white unicorn with a purple styled mane come out and said.

"The princess is gone." The ponies in the room started to panic but I was to focused on the fog gathering in the room. It was coming form the balcony and when I looked harder and saw a figure coming out of the shadows. It was a dark unicorn mare with wings and she the yelled to the crowd.

"My subjects your true princess is here!!" I ready my bow but was waiting for the guards to try something. The two guards I saw tried to rush her with spears but it failed as the were knocked on there ass and were out cold. I face balm as these are the most useless guards I have ever seen. I then see the rainbow maned Pegasus try something but was stopped by the orange devil. I then hear the dark unicorn say with a hurt tone. "Have you forgotten your princess. Have it been that long?" I then notice the purple unicorn and I realized that I should really learn everyone's name. But that wasn't important what was it that I have an opening just need the purple unicorn to keep talking.

"You're the mare in the moon, You are Nightmare moon." In the middle of that sentence I had ready an arrow and aimed it at the now named Nightmare Moon. As the purple unicorn finished the sentence I fired the arrow and it flew threw threw the air and hit her right in the shoulder. Which is strange as I was aiming for the head but I am not the best aimed with a bow. Nightmare moon then shouted and looked toward me with the most angry face I have seen in this world. And I am not going to lie I was a little scared. She then teleported in front of me and gripped my throat and was straggling me. I then called to my spirit animal of the black bear. I my vision was black and white with Nightmare moon and everyone in the room was a dark red. I then slam one fist down on her arm making her release me and drop my to the ground. She then looked at me and turned to dark blue fog and zipped out of the town hall and into the night. That was then I noticed that my bandages were undone and my face could be seen. So I ran out the town hall as fast as I could not paying attention on who was looking. That was until I was stopped by the rainbow maned mare by a tackle form the side. She then put her hoove on my chest keeping me there and keeping me from escaping. She then did something I really hate when people do she started to gloat about her "victory."

"I finally got the Beast of the Everfree." Right at that moment the orange devil showed up and had the angriest face on her. The orange mare high five the walking pride flag and looked at me with hate. She then said with the most sorry excuses of a threating voice ever.

"I'ma make you pay for what you did to big mac and the stolen apples you scoundrel." I was not fazed by that in the slightest and she seemed to notice. I took the opportunity to mess the orange mare. First I started to laugh wich seem to surprise the two mares. And then I spoke to them in the most 'I don't give a fuck' tone I could get.

"If you think that scares me you are sorely mistaken. I don't fear death so I surely don't fear you." Both were shocked to see hat I could talk and they realized that I could understand them and that made the orange mare boil. She slammed her hoove right next to my head and made a crack in which still didn't scare me. "Oh, touched a nerve there." The orange mare was ready to kill me at the least but was stopped by the purple unicorn lighting up her horn. The same glow on her horn surround the rainbow maned Pegasus and they were both lifted off me. I stood up to see the pink mare the yellow Pegasus and the purple unicorn all looking at me with verging degrees of surprise, fear and what ever the pink one was doing. The purple unicorn walked up to me and introduced herself.

"My name is Twilight Sparkle and I need your help defeating Nightmare moon." I was confused but then the rainbow maned Pegasus had to put her two cents in.

"Wait, how do you know who she is are you a spy?" I face palmed and sigh which wasn't unnoticed by her. "What! how do we know that your not one of her minions." I decided to speak my mind and tell her off

"If we where working for nightmare moon you would be dead already. And I wouldn't have shot her with an arrow." The rainbow mare then looked at me and shut the hell up. The orange mare then looked at me I was done with her shit so I just ignored her. I look at twilight and ask what exactly you need help with.

"Alright what do you need help with twilight?" She then looked at me with hope as I am going to help her as she not the one hunting me down or can let go of a something that happened a week ago. That was when the white unicorn looked at me with distrust and took twilight to talk to in private. And at the same time the orange mare was released and she still want to fuck with me. She got I my face and was going to do something but I was still done with her shit." if you can let go of what I did I needed to survive and you family member was in the way and when you need to eat as I was running out of food." The orange mare looked at in disbelieve and she backed down form me and she had a look that said I wish I knew. "What's your name I can't just keep call you The Orange Devil." She looked at me with both confusion and hate for me as that name was an insult.

"Its Applejack, and get rid of that terrible name for me." I nodded and I looked to the rainbow maned Pegasus and she knew what I was going to ask.

"I am rainbow dash the fastest flier in equestria and the one who knocked you on your flank." I sighed and just turned to see that white unicorn looking at me with discus and distrust. She was wearing a fancy dress her mane still styled like she was on of those rich people who thing there better and entitled. I sighed and decided to tell her to stop staring at me.

"Would you kindly stop staring at me you and making me feel unconvertable mrs?" The white mare then realized that I don't know her name and that I have manners I have a thinking working brain. I hate people that thing there better than everyone when really they bleed and die like everyone else.

"Oh, well my name is rarity belle and you are?" She bowed her head and looked toward me waiting for me to tell my name and was staring at me with a smile and I noticed that was a complete 180 on what the hell she thought of me but I could give less than a fuck. I took a deep breath and just give them my name as being called the Beast of the Everfree is cool but it is a long name.

"My name is Chaz Cooley and to anwer the question I know your thinking or at least maybe. No am not a monster, No am not a hairless pony, and yes I am surprised that my plan worked for that long and I will help you take down nightmare moon if we knew where she was going." They all looked at me like I was crazy but the pink one was raising her hand like she was in school. "Yes what do you want to ask and could you give me your name please?" The pink mare then laugh and took a deep breath and I was ready for the insanity to take place.

" You already know my name silly ITS Pinkie pie and I have one question. Were you teleported here by an evil that you know and was in the everfree forest and you need to find help to go home?" Me and the others around me where shock. They then turned to me and I just pick up my mind and just said.

"Let me guess you 'Guessed' that entire think that just happens to be right." She the smiled and giggled and walked to the group. I sighed and just decided to just move on with what we are going to do with Nightmare moon so I turned to twilight and asked with a serious face.

"Where do we find nightmare and how can we defeat her." Twilight raised her figure like she was going to say something. But was then fallowed by a look on her face that said 'I just realized something.' I then also realize what that meant and I face palm hard which made fluttershy worry about me. I then look at twilight and say in a some what angry voice.

"You mean to tell me you know about her but you don't know how to beat her?" Twilight was scared a little pit but she quickly recovered. She then put on a brave face and replied to my anger.

"I know how to defeat her I just don't know where we can find the elements of harmony." I then backed town as we have a way to defeat nightmare moon we just don't where to find it. I then remembered that the place where the party took place was a library and there might information there. I turn to the group and was going to saw but it seems that they already know about the library and where heading there and leaving me in the dust. I was to lazy to run after them so I just walked as I have a feeling that it will take a while for them to find information. But as I got closer to the library I noticed they were already leaving the library and heading to the everfree forest. I was confused and asked while catching up with the girls.

"Hey what are you girls doing I taught we need to find information." They looked at me and then realized that they left me there and didn't notice. I am use to being invisible to most people and at most parties people don't even know I am there. Twilight seem to be sorry but I cut that short and as we need to stop Nightmare moon. Twilight then sighed and told me what the plan was.

"We know where the elements are but where they are is the Everfree forest." I was worried she would say that, that place has horrors from the devil himself. But I then realized that the group of girls where planning on going there alone with no weapons or to defend themselves. I sigh as I take a moment to think on how this place is working and healthy place without violence to NOT have anything to deafened yourself. I then look at the group notice that they're giving me weird looks and that was when I said fuck it and ran to the forest. The others where confused at first but then they ran right behind me. I ran into the forest but the group stayed behind and I could hear twilight calling me but I have something to get. I then notice an axe on the ground it which I made with my pocket knife. This was a sign I made to tell me that what I need is in one of these trees. I didn't bother with making the tree as the X on the floor is too 'hey look over here' at that point. I knocked on every tree around me until I found what I was looking for. It was a hallow tree which I made to hold a back pack with some supplies I needed to go in the town. The contents of the bag were a few stink bombs I made with the stink bugs around my house and yes it did start to rain. The other things where one of the meatal tomahawks and a desert eagle my bother owned but left at my house. I never thought I would use it but this calls for one of those days. I quickly run back to the yelling voice of twilight and the fact that it was in the forest which is not what you what to do in the middle of a forest that holds serval monsters that could kill you in less than a second. I run and duck threw the trees and try to find where they are and paying to god that they don't get hurt. I haven't talked to anyone in months and yes I am an introvert but I still want human contact. As I ran I found them and scared the living shit out of the group leading to Rainbow dash punching the shit out of me.

"Didn't do that again or I will knock you into next week." I was too focus on holding my cheek and wanting to punch Rainbow dash back. But that was stopped by fluttershy who unexpectedly hugged me with tears in her eyes. I was confused as she was crying over me and seem to just be worried about me. I hugged her back and gave a look that said 'help me I have no idea how to handle this' and Applejack just smiled and gave me a look that said 'REVENGE.' That was where fluttershy back away and said in a timid and scared voice.

"I was so scared that you would never come out of the Everfree forest." I was touched by this as I was taught that I would die here and no one will flinch was I would rot away. But the first person well pony I meet and scared cares so much about me. That was then pinkie pie decided to say awww and me and fluttershy stopped hugging. Me with a small blush and fluttershy coving her face. I then said with the blush gone and focusing on the trouble at hand.

"Alright everyone lets focus and get this done we have a job to do." With that we all fallowed a trail that I noticed seem to be more scary that unusual. I have seen this trail before but the fog and the night sky all seem to be a warring to turn back and let the night last. As we run forward I feel that evil watching us and planning but it was too late for me to do anything. Suddenly the ground fell from underneath us and me and the girls where falling down a cliff. I was quick to act and used the tomahawk in my hand to stab the cliff and stop myself from falling. I saw Rainbow dash and Fluttershy flying and catch Rarity and Pinkie pie while Applejack was holding Twilights hand and she was hanging and trying to clime back up. But the steep cliff was to dusty and all she was doing is putting dust in my eyes. I the clime down and make sure that rarity and pinkie pie were okay. Well pinkie pie was but rarity was complaining that she got a little dust on her white dress. I roll my eyes and she seem to Stoff's at me and I just leave her to do her thing. I noticed twilight be carried by rainbow and Applejack climbing down like she was born to do. I then see fluttershy look around and set her eyes on me and take a sigh of relief. She flies down to me and the hugs me again but I just give her a hug back. We stop the hug and I ask something that I had noticed that were talking about. "What were you and the others talking about." Fluttershy then looked at me and was hesitant on telling me. That was when Rainbow Dash called me and she must gave heard me as she answered the question I had.

"We where talking about you and how the Beast of the Everfree forest survived and lived in the forest." I look at her and was mostly wondering on what she was talking about. She noticed my confusion and she seem to explain the folklore of the forest. "They say the any pony who enters the forest is never seen again." That one makes sense as the monsters and many land slides happen. But the Applejack then added something that explains a lot and makes less sense but at this point I could care less.

"This place is unnatural the weather can't be controlled and animals feed themselves." I was going to ask about that but I then remember where we are and why we are here. I just continued to walk past the group and Rainbow Dash seem upset that I didn't answer the way I survived this hell hole. This was until I said

"We have a job to do and that is stop nightmare moon." Everyone looked at me and all went silent and they seem to be confused. But soon all of them just fallowed and as soon as I ran out of breath I could feel an arm rap around me and help me up. I was expecting to see fluttershy but it was Applejack helping me and tell me to take my time. I noticed that she was the only one to keep up with me on foot or hoove. And the trees are too thick that Rainbow and Flutters can't fly if the want to stay with us. I look at the others and see that they need to take a breath to so I didn't really think about that. So I then say to the group which stopped to take a breath. "Alright we can walk the rest of the way there...." That was when I realized that even in this world no one tells me shit about anything. "Quick question where are we going to find these elements of harmony?" Twilight looked at me and realized that of course they didn't tell me shit like my family when something important is today. Twilight laughed nervously as she taught that I was mad but I could give less than a fuck but they didn't know that so I said to her. "Calm down I am not mad I was the who rusted in here to get a contingency for a plan I had." Applejack then looked at me and asked.

"And what plan would the be partner?" I looked at her and dodged the question thankfully by twilight telling me the plan. She told me that the elements can be found in a castle of the two sisters and that seem to ring a bell for me. The months I lived here I noticed near my home there was a tower I could see just by standing on my roof. I then look at her and say something I bet I am going to get punched for. So I took a deep breath and tried to prepared for a punch in the face.

"I know where to find that castle. I have seen it near my home." I closed my eyes and was waiting for a slap or punch but all I felt was a hug. I opened I eyes to see twilight hugging me with the biggest smile on her face. Then she stopped and asked me where multiple times. I was confused on what to do so I just pulled out my compass to find the southwest way of the compass. That was the decision of the castle and I turned to say to the group.

"Fallow me and we will find the castle where the elements are. And maybe Nightmare moon but lets hope she not there." I walked with the others fallowing and that was when Rainbow dash landed next to me and started to talk.

"That was anwsome on how you caught yourself using your axe and how I caught pinkie and fluttershy Rarity." I was going to say something but I just let her talk. " I have something to ask you... dude." I look at her and sigh as I realize that she had forgotten my name but that was excepted and I remind her.

"Chaz, Chaz Tino Cooley." Rainbow dash looked a me and was trying to hold a laugh and that made me a little mad. "What so funny huh?" Rainbow dash stopped and looked at me with fear as I put on the 'fuck around and found out face' my family is known for. Rainbow Dash started to sweat and seem to really be scared as she then backed away.

"Nothing its a nice name hehehe." She went back to the group and continued to walk and watch to the castle. But as we walked I could hear something in the forest. That was when the very monster I was hoping never showed its face gets the jump on us. I hear Twilight yell manticore and Rainbow dash rush the it. I tried to stop her but it was to late and she lands a punch on the manticore and flies away form the attack the manticore tried to land on Rainbow. Applejack used her lasso to hold the manticores tail but it just flung her away. She was caught by Rainbow dash and they both got back to fighting. Rarity was throwing rocks with her magic and twilight I think was trying to think of a plan to help. I was hanging back and was surprised that the girls could hold their own agents a manticore with on weapons. I then noticed Fluttershy trying to stp the girls and it works that was when I wanted to make sure she didn't get hurt. So I stopped her by holding her shoulder and she looked at me and noticed my worried face.

"I will be fine that manticore is hurt." I look at her then the manticore and notice what she was talking about as the manticore was holding it paw in pain. I nod at her a signal that says that I trust her and please be careful. She then approached the manticore and she seem to be talking to it and my jaw hit the floor. Well not literally but I was in shock and the rest of the group of girls seem to be the same. The manticore then licked her like a cat and then seem to be more like a cat then a killing monster that I learn to fight and kill for my survival. The manticore then meowed and flew away seeming to forget the encounter that happened to just a minute ago. The group snapped out of but I needed to take a second to get my head strait. The others started to walk but before fluttershy went to check on me to make sure I was alright. I shook my head and said to her with a smile on my face.

"I'm fine lets catch up with the others." I say and we both jog to the rest of the group. As we walk deeper in the forest it seem to get darker and darker. And I noticed the trees had faces on them and I couldn't help but laugh my ass off. I was laughing so hard I didn't even notice that pinkie was laughing right next to me. I then say out between my laughter which was extremally hard to do. "They look so stupid how could anyone be scared by this HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" The others then looked at the trees still scared but pinkie pie help them see the silliness of the trees had while I still laughed my ass off. Once I was done I noticed the others where laughing and pinkie pie at the end of a song. I then stand with the compass still pointing southwest. The others joined me and we continued to walk to the castle. As we walked I could hear someone crying and what sounded like a river. At that I rusted forward pulling out my map I made over the months I was in this forest but I never approached the castle as I can feel the evil there. But as a reminder to myself I am full of bad and terrible ideas. I see a river and I mark it on the map I have and make a poor sketch of it as well. I then put it away and proceed to drink like I was in the desert. Then the others arrived and saw me drinking water like a mad man but their focus shifted as they saw a eel with really good hair coving his face. I didn't pay any attention with the eel and just prepared an arrow and a rope for me to cross. I am sure that they can find away across and with that I fired and arrow an it hit a tree and I tied the rope to another behind me. I then clime and travel across the rope and kept my back pack on my belly and allowing my back to get wet and seeing rarity cut her tail and give it to that eel which I just realized had a nice mustache that was now hole with rarity's tail. I then realized they got help and a path on the other side. I took a deep breath and just slapped myself and told myself that I am not alone any more. When I made it to the other side I caught up with the others and Fluttershy was happy to see me. She hugged me and then was mad at me for leaving the group again and I apologized as I hate to make people mad. As we continued to walk the fog cleared and we can see the castle and it was bigger than I expected. That was when twilight said while running toward the castle

"There it is! The ruin that holds the elements of Harmony, we made it." As she ran the rest of us fallowed with applejack tried to tell twilight to wait but she was too excited that we are almost there." We're almost there!" Right at that moment twilight nearly fell down a very steep and very foggy ravine but lucky she caught her self with part of the bridge and finally helped by rainbow dash.

"What with you and falling off cliffs today?" Rainbow dash said as we all looked across the bridge and asking one question I bet we all have.

"Now what?" pinkie said and then Rainbow dash replied with a duh and pointing to her wing. " Oh yeah." Rainbow then flew and took the bridge and flew to the other side to tie it back and so we have a way to cross. But she stopped at the second one and I noticed and feel the evil of nightmare moon on the other side of the ravine and I could hear her say.

"Who said that." That was when I decided to cross the way how could result in my death. I took several steps back and was ready to jump across the ravine. I take a deep breath and call for the strength of the black bear to make sure I get across. I the sprinted and hoped that I had the strength to do this and with that leaped across and just catching myself on the edge of the other side of the ravine. And I could see a group of ponies where dark purple costumes with yellow lightning bolts. They notice me and they seem to disappear in fog and a blue mist that seem to go in the castle. Rainbow dash then helped me up and the asked why I was there I which I then said.

"What took you so long to get the bridge up?" She looked at me and then said with a believable smile.

"What? I will never leave you guys hanging." With that she tied the rest of the bridge and the others crossed it and Fluttershy hugged the everlasting shit out of from sure worry. I hugged her back to calm her down and I saw pinkie doing the aww face at me and fluttershy and I just rolled my eyes. After that we all head inside and I could feel the evil near, it was watching us making sure it knows where we are. I then enter a room with a pedestal that looked like one of the space dioramas with the littles planets around the sun. Fluttershy and Rainbow dash got the rocks around the bigger rock and each one had a symbol on it. Pinkie pie was counting and she make a noticeable discovery.

"There only five." rainbow added with a good question.

"where the sixth?" Twilight then gave an explanation that no one understood or at least that what I thought.

"The book said that when the elements are together the sixth element will show itself." Applejack then said what I was thinking although I would have used more swearing in that sentence.

"What the hay is that suppose to mean?" Applejack asked while I was waited for the evil to show itself.

"I am not sure but I have an idea stand back, I don't know what will happen." Her horn lit up and the other exit the room to let her focus on what ever she was trying to do. Her horn light seem to be around the elements and nothing was happening. All that was happening was that she was focusing even harder and that was when that happened the evil known as nightmare was teleporting the elements away in a small tornado of magic. Twilight screamed at what she saw and the others came running in that was when me and twilight both jumped in the tornado of magic and both of us arrived somewhere in the castle. Nightmare moon standing with the elements behind her and twilight reading for something she got planned. But before that I whispered to her a plan I had and hopefully will work.

"Twilight get to the elements in any way I will keep her busy." She looked at me and then the elements and nodded with that I prepared my tomahawk and twilight was going to rush her. She looked at both of us and said.

"your kindling? your kindling right?" We both got ready to charge and I was getting ready to fight. Then we both ran at full speed and I called of the powers of my spirit animal. I could feel stronger and faster and I have the strength to take her down. Twilight charged her horn and when we got closer to nightmare moon she teleported to the elements and I delivered a powerful punch t her face. She wasn't paying attention on me which you don't want to do when fighting a Cooley as that is a good way to get a broken jaw. And with a powerful punch I hear a crunch when it connected and I see that Nightmare moon back away in pain and her holding her jaw. Which I unhinged with just a punch but as quickly as I saw it she healed and gave me a death glare. Nightmare moon the summoned a large scythe the blade was decyne to look like the moon. To be fair I did just brake her jaw so I was just asking for me to get killed. Lucky I usually dance with death several times before I even arrived here so I have that going for me.

"I will slice you in half you filthy human!!" As I duck and doge the scythe I could she twilight trying to find the spark for the sixth element. That was when nightmare moon noticed her at the same time I did and she had a face of fear as the elements where now doing something. She took her eyes off me and turn her back on me as well both things you don't want to do when fighting a Cooley. I jumped on her back and put her in and arm lock which was old move but it was effective. It was working until I realized that she had wings and that was were she remembered that fact too. And as so as she flew in the air trying to get me off her back by spinning and finally she did the smart thing and slammed my against the stone wall. I could hold her back for any longer and she turn to look at while a gasp for air. She then conjured a sword and stabbed me in the shoulder and against the stone wall keeping me there so I don't interfere with her stopping twilight. "Stay like a good little animal." But she didn't account for the tomahawk I held in my hand so with one swing from my right arm I hit her shoulder and she screams in pain.

"An eye for an eye BITCH!!" I yell and kick her away and at that moment Twilight was done with what she was doing and the elements rise only to fall and do nothing. Nightmare moon laughed and teleported to the elements and crushed them with her hoove and knocked twilight away I was in shock and wasn't paying attention to what twilight was saying. I then have one more plan and I reach for my back pack and try to pull out my desert eagle. Making sure I have the gun loaded and the safety off I aim at Nightmare moon hand when she raised her scythe. I then fire and the ring of fire shown for only a second and the bullet flies threw the air and hits her right in the hand and she screams in pain. She then focus on me and rushed toward me with her scythe. I the fire three more shot but they were blocked by her scythe or magic. I only have three more bullet and so I waited for the right moment to fire and that came when she raised her scythe and shouted.

"DIE!!!!" That was when her scythe was high above her head and she was going to bring to down. But the right moment I fired the deagle at the point were the handle met the blade of the scythe. and it snapped in half and saving my life. She looked at me in shock and then I aimed at the knees and fire only two for each one. She was on the grown and me and her both notice all the girls where floating all wearing necklaces and twilight with a crown. That was when we were both hit with a rainbow beam and I feel every good emotion wash over me and I past the fuck out do to the feeling or to blood loss.

I was in a deep sleep like I was normally just me sleeping but I could feel something trying to wake me up. I could then hear some one talking to me as I slowly wake up.

"Chaz!? Chaz please wake up!" I then open my eyes to notice that I was now on the floor. With futtershy to my side and her eyes with several tears and I was wondering on why. I then saw the others also crying and a tall white unicorn wearing a fancy white dress. I then sit up and everyone in the room seem to notice. And as the look at me with shock I then ask.

"What happened? And why are you all crying?" I was then apart of a group hug with everyone expressing worry for me. Like Rainbow Dash telling me off not to do that again and Applejack and Rarity complaining that I scared them. But Applejack was happier that I am not push over. Pinkie pie was balling her eyes out and her hair was flat but when she saw me still well and alive she was one of the must hugest I have seen and felt. Then there was Fluttershy who was hugging me and was making my hoodie wet with her tears. That was when the tall white unicorn with a lighter colored rainbow mane approached the group hug I was in the middle of and she had a smile on her face.

"Thank you for help my little ponies." I nod and say back.

"No problem after all this was one hell of night" After that we wanted to go home and the Princess I just now realized that she was one teleport us back to ponyville.
