Kuro's Timeline Changeby KurookumeraChaptersIntroduction To A New World(Edited)A new day (Completed)Nightmares (lengthened)Slaughter and the way outChapter 5Cancelled.Introduction To A New World(Edited)Author's Note This is my first time making a story. I'm not particularly good at personality identification so I hope you'll forgive me if I get a characters personality wrong. Lemme know what you think. If its at all confusing, let me know in the comments what it is. Also. the timeline might be all over the place. Edit: The "---" lines indicate pov changes and I chaged a few things. Let me know if its better or worse. Introduction To A New World(Edited) Introduction To A New World The Assault "ha...ha...ha..." I'm outa breath...what the hell. Are they even hum- I barely have time to finish that thought when I'm rushed by another Chara. I barely dodge and use my scythe to take their head. This normally wouldn't be a problem if they reloaded right. But they aren't. Instead of the standard time rewind, they just appear and my stamina doesn't have a chance to recover. One wouldn't be a problem normally but... I Look back up at the sea of red eyes and smiles staring me down. Even with though I can move faster than light, they can somehow keep up with me. "You can't run from us." They all say in Unison. It sends a chill down my spine. "Welp. Better alive than dead." I snap my fingers and summon a shit ton of Gaster blasters. All the color drained from my fur. Before the Chara's had time to react, I fired. The ground in front of me turned to a giant crater. I fell down onto my knees drained. My heart stopped as I saw a figure out the corner of my eye. I covered my side with all my tails barely able to block the attack. "W-wai-" As I turned around, the last Chara hit me with a devastating slash. To be frank, I don't even know why I tried to ask them to wait. I forced them back with my telekinesis as much as possible. I was barely able to open a portal and fell inside, the portal closing behind me. I tried to make a destination, but I didn't have the strength to as I was blacking out and just chose something random "Good Morning Mr. Bird. Today seems li-" The yellow mare suddenly notices a bright beam of light jetting out in the everfree forest. Her ears fold as a high pitched ring makes its way throughout the land as it widens. The ringing suddenly stops. When she looks in the direction, the widen beam narrows quickly and once it fades, a large explosion occurs in what she assumes is where the light was touching down. She has a nagging feeling like somepony needs help there. She flies off towards the explosion. I wake up in the center of a crater. It HURTS. "FUCKING DAMMIT!!" I yell in agony as my entire body yells at me with pain signals. I claw at the dirt with my paw...PAWS?! Suddenly jolted by this new form, I manage to get up for a few seconds before utterly collapsing back into the dirt. I grit my teeth. Fuck...I think I opened the wound...dammit...I'm gonna bleed out... I manage to crawl towards what I believe to be the exit of the forest leaving a rather long trail of blood. After a few minutes I lose my energy. I twist my tails to look like one and move it under my chin as a pillow. At least I'll be comfortable... I lose consciousness. "Oh dear!" The mare exclaims as she sees the large creature laying in a pool of its own blood. She flies over to check on them. When she gets close, she examines it. "Thank goodness, They're still breathing..." She's surprised that the creature managed to drag itself so far. She was able to move it into a clearing and began doing what she can to help them. She struggled to turn the thing onto its side to get a better look but when she did, she gasped at the large gash that went from its upper shoulder to its belly. After a few hours she managed to clean and patch them up for the most part. The creatures fur was mostly snow white with fiery red markings on its body and it was absolutely huge. "Fluttershy?" the mare turns to see her friends coming towards her. "We heard a large explosion and we came...to see..." Their speech slowing as the saw the massive mass of fur "What in the name of Celestia is that!?" they asked frightened but concerned. "I would think it's a rare kind of wolf except for the fact that it's head is triangular with a fox like tail. It was seriously injured when I found it." Fluttershy says. I managed to regain consciousness when I heard the sound of talking. I noticed that I had some bandages on me. It was most likely the ones that are here that patched me up. I managed to sit up and turn to thank my rescuers when I noticed they were ponies. Oh, they were also scared as hell. Except for the yellow one with wings. So a Unicorn, regular horse, and a Pegasus? Where the hell am I? "Um, hello. What are you?" Fluttershy asks. I can understand them which is interesting since I've never been to this timeline and universe before. They seem to be the shy type but are showing some courage. They have a calm and low voice which is comforting. I feel like I can somewhat trust them. I try to speak but an immense pain occurs and nothing comes out except for coughs. I also end up coughing up some blood but swallow it. The yellow mare seems concerned with my coughing fit. Seems I'm going to be mute till I can heal. I got no idea why I'm in this form but it's none of my current concern. The creature holds out it's paw and the others recoil slightly. Flutteryshy stays put. "Fluttershy, get back!" "No, It might be trying to tell us something." She moves closer to them and he watches her warily. An upside down heart forms above his paw. Its mostly pink with some red in the center. It's really cracked... Suddenly the pink takes up half and the red spreads to the other half. Dammit... It's barely holding together. My Determination was saved by my Fear trait. Thankfully Hate hasn't formed. It wouldn't do anything to me but it isn't a good feeling, not to mention dangerous to those around me. I stand up swiftly and manage to stay up. I seem to dwarf the mares in size. I'm surprised that I can keep myself up. I feel something poke the side of my neck. The yellow mare is shocked by the fact that Rarity and Twilight shot at them. But they're even more shocked at how he looks at us as if a parasprite ran into them. Fluttershy turns to scold them when the creature begins to shake and then collapse. She runs over to get a look and they're gritting their teeth like they're in serious pain. They squint as the upside-down heart reappears but... It's violently shaking and seems to be breaking apart. She doesn't know what to do. They're scratching the ground desperately and panting hard as the heart slowly breaks apart. Fucking hell...It hurts... My soul slowly starts to separate. It fucking hurts like hell and takes all of my energy to keep it from shattering. A piece breaks off and a cough jets out some blood and paints some grass in front of me crimson red. Thankfully the Fear trait stretches into pink goo to help keep it together. Thankfully the pain stops and my soul is pulled back together. The yellow mare who they call 'Fluttershy' seems genuinely worried about me. The others don't. I'm going to stay neutral to them. The risk isn't worth it, not to mention I definitely won't survive another attack like that. "What magic did you use on him?" Fluttershy ask as she goes to rub her hoof over his head. He recoils slightly when her hoof touches him but relaxes and allows Fluttershy to pet him. she lowers herself to match his eye level and realized that the entire time he's been here, his eyes were never open. "I don't know. I rushed a random spell because it looked like he was going to hurt you Flutteryshy." The purple mare trailed off as she realized she was a bit rash in her judgment and nearly killed somepony. "I would scold you but I need to care for them." She say as she goes to gather food and water for the creature. "Can we help ya Flutteryshy?" Applejack asks. "yes. I'm going to need the help. Please change their bandages while I get some food and water for them." She leaves and return after a short while to see them standing at a distance. Theres also a large crater near the animal next to their paw. "What happened here?" She ask as she look around. "We dunno. We tried to get close to him but every time he would slam his tail on the ground. When we started ignoring those and got really close, he hit the ground with his paw and we thought it was best to back off." Twilight responds. That was too big of a risk but thankfully they backed off. Definitely rash on my part but I'd rather not risk an accidental death during a bandage change. Fluttershy holds out some berries in front of me. I open my mouth and she seems frightened at first but realizes I'm asking for her to toss em in, so she does so. I chew on them and swallow, glad that got a little something to eat. She helps me drink the water by holding the glass for me. I gently rub her neck with my nose to thank her which elicits a laugh from her. "Well, it seems to have some sapient intelligence." The purple unicorn says. Normally I'd voice my displeasure at being called It but I can't speak so I just shot her a look. She seems to get it. After they help with the bandage change, they help Fluttershy get me onto my... paws and get me to her home. I barely fit through her door, but they manage to squeeze me inside after a few minutes of pushing. I do not wish to stand anymore because it's putting a rather large amount of strain on my body so the second I see her couch, I flop onto it which causes it to do the normal couch squeaks. Fluttershy comes over and touches my ears. After her friends say goodbye, she goes to bed. Its been a long day. A new day (Completed)Author's Note --- represent a perspective shift. If there is any mistakes, point em out please cause I finished this while trying not to fall asleep. A new day (Completed) As twilight makes her way back home, she ponders how she is to tell the princess about the mysterious kitsune that has appeared. She walks in expecting spike to ask her what she did today, but to her surprise, he's asleep early. With no distractions, she decides to send a message to the princess immediately. Dear Princess Celestia, Today my friends and I went to Fluttershy's. Upon arriving, we found a mysterious creature that was seriously wounded and couldn't speak. When the being stood, they were huge, and I feared the worst for Fluttershy who was closest to the being. In a panicked state, I fired a random spell that seemed to nearly kill them. They survived and became cautious of everypony except Fluttershy. What should we do? Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle. She sent the letter and said "Now all I do now is wa-" A letter appeared and it read. Dear Twilight Sparkle, Don't worry about this. The royal guard and I shall look into this creature and confirm their intentions. Sincerely Princess Celestia. First thing I notice is that I'm back in my normal form. Though my tails are still curled. The hell is this place? I think to myself as I look at the environment. It takes me a few seconds to realize that this is a dream world. I check my body and the wound is still there but it doesn't seem to affect my abilities here. I summon a small bone and toss it around when I see the outline of a alicorn behind me. I don't really need to use my eyes because of a unique ability I have that outlines the surrounding environment as well as objects and the way it looks. "Heya. So what brings you to my dreams?" I ask. The dark mare takes notice of my singular tail and body shape. "I visit everypony when I can. You are new though so I came to see you first to confirm your intentions. So first off, what's your name?" She asks. "What's with the distance? No need to be that far. Also, names Kuro." "I keep this distance for caution. No need to be concerned. So, why don't you tell me about yourself?" "Why? Not planning to go on a date are we?" The mare seems slightly flustered. "Well why don't I just show you?" I make a screen appear behind me and turn to it and sit down. The mare moves slightly closer to watch the mysterious object. The screen begins playing my happy memories of the great time I had with friends and family, laughing, playing, and sparring. We watch for what seems like hours before the screen stops playing. "There ya go. Those are my memories." "You seem like a nice pony but what about your other memories?" My facial expression darkens and she seems bothered by it. I sigh and relax. "I'm not ready to share those. I'll tell you when I'm ready. Oh by the way, I never caught your name." "I'm Princess Luna." "A princess huh? Pretty cool." The guards already have their weapons out and pointed at the being, shivering in fear at his massive size. "Rise and come closer." The being stands up and moves closer to Celestia and she sees that he is a bit bigger than her. Celestia watches with a shocked expression as a guard drives a spear into the beings chest. A upside down heart appears for a brief moment before violently shaking and shattering. The being soon falls limp onto the floor, lifeless. The Princess wakes up in her bed. "A premonition? Not good. I must prevent this from happening." When she arrives at the throne room, the creature is already awake and seems worried. He stands up and the event repeats itself. The Princess wakes up in her bed. "W-what is this? A double premonition? This must be serious." The princess thinks to herself. As dawn approaches, Celestia raises the sun as usual and heads to the throne room to make sure that everything is going alright. When she arrives, the large creature seems to be upset about something even though the guards are staying at a distance. Might be because he was transported without warning and doesn't like his new environment. "What's happened?" "Nothing yet princess. He's stayed in that one spot and hasn't moved since he woke up." One of the guards respond. "How odd." This is a bit different than her premonitions. Perhaps the premonitions were wrong. She sits in her throne and says, "Stand and tell me your name.". Celestia waits for a minute, but he doesn't move or speak. He then raises his head and upper body a bit and the bandages unravel a bit, revealing what seems to be a rather fresh and giant wound and the bandage tighten back. A horrifying realization comes to all the ponies. The bandages that go from his shoulders to his thighs are covering a very large wound. It takes the Princess some time, but she comes to the conclusion that the damage is so extensive that it's damaged his vocal cords. Hopefully they will leave me alone after this. I can't defend myself in my condition. "Do you have another form of communications by any chance?" I nod and use some magic to create words that say 'hi'. "So, what is your name and what are your intentions?" I create words that say, "My name is Kuro. As for why I'm here, I have no idea." Thankfully I managed to learn how to write equestrian real fast. But my message seems to have surprised them. "Explain please." "I didn't come here on purpose. I was trying to escape an attacker and just happened to end up here." "What gave you that wound?" "It's best that you don't know. But if you're worried about them coming here, don't. They are from another world like me." "You come from another world?" "Yes and I don't plan to explain." "You will answer her questions!" A random guard says to me. "It's fine, Stand down. The guard relaxes. "Now then, is there a particular reason why you don't want to explain?" "Yes. Everyone there is dead and since this just recently happened, I'd prefer not to talk about it just yet." "I see. Well ho-" My stomach growled. I'd laugh if it didn't hurt. The guards seem uncomfortable, but other than that, they seemed pretty composed. "Would you like to eat?" Celestia asked. "But princess he -" "Quiet please. I see no hostile intent in him so we shall treat him as a guest." I manage to sit up which puts the guards on alert. "No need. But you and Princess Luna should come and see me in the dream world if possible. Oh, and try to bring Fluttershy and her friends. I'd love to know them better." A blue light envelopes Kuro and he disappears. "Teleportation that doesn't leave a magical signature? Very interesting." The princess said to herself. "Would you like us to do anything your highness?" "No, leave him be. I'm sure he'll be fine. Now, I'm going to visit princess Luna. You are dismissed." 10 Minutes Later I do what I can to knock on the door to this wooden tree's door. The door opens and a small dragon is there to greet me. "Hello. Is Twilight in?" "Um. Yeah but, what do you want with her and how did you find out she lived here? Also, what's with the magical writing?" "I can't speak and I asked Fluttershy. She told me Twilight lives here." "Neat. Come inside while I go get her." Upon entering the tree, my nose is hit with the smell of book pages and ink. Most likely Twilight's books; Spike doesn't seem to be the studious type. Fluttershy wasn't kidding about him being small for a dragon. I must of been spacing out because I only notice Twilight after she shakes me. "Hm? Oh, heya Twilight." "Um, hi. Are you feeling okay? I'm really sorry about yesterday, and why are you using magic to write?" "Well I'd say it wasn't that bad, but that's an obvious lie. Either way, that's in the past, and I'm doing this because I can't speak." The mares ears lower a bit, "Did I..." "No. It's because of my current injury, so don't worry about it. Well, to the point. I'd like to know more about this world. I've never seen this one before." ""Seen this one"? There are more than world with life like this?" She asks excitedly. "Yeah. I keep an eye on as many as possible. Thought I'd seen them all." "We're on Equestria, in ponyville. Here, many ponies, pegasus, and unicorns live in harmony. Princess Celestia raises the sun, and Princess Luna raises the moon. Also, how can you walk without bumping into anything, and how do you know my name?" "I sense my surroundings with a power I have. Pretty much outlines everything and I heard from Fluttershy. My name's Kuro by the way." "Can I see your eyes?" "You wanna see my eyes kid? Alright." Twilight watches as Kuro opened his eyes. His eyes are beautiful. The top half of his eyes are a glimmering emerald green while the lower half are a rippling rose pink. They seem to constantly shift place. "W...Wow... Rarity would flip out..." He closes his eyes and it takes some time for the mare to regain her composure. "Um. So I have another question. Wh-" "Hey Twilight! PinkiePie is doing her thing! Flutteryshy's the last one." "Oh. Okay Rainbowdash, I'll be there. Uh, kuro can you get Fluttershy and bring her to sugar cube corner? Just tell Fluttershy the name." "Sure. See ya there." Kuro is enveloped in a blue light and disappears. Twilight seemed nervous about something. Wonder what. I teleport inside Fluttershy's house and say, "Yo, anyon- pony here?" "Eep!" I felt a little bad as I watched the mare jump out of fright. "Sorry about that. Twilight wants us at sugar cube corner for pinkies...plans. didn't say what they were though." She's also nervous now, a little more than Twilight was. "Something wrong?" "Oh, not at all. Are you feeling better by any chance Kuro?" "Yeah. I've gained a bit more of my magic." I tell her while we walk. "May I see it?" "Sorry, but my magic isn't really suited for...safety." "Oh, ok..." "Sorry." "It's okay. I understand." I kinda feel bad now. But as we get to the town, it's...empty. The atmosphere feels tense and the air stale. Something is wrong...but, what? "Are you okay Kuro?" "Huh? Yeah, yeah I'm fine. Just...spaced out a little." I do what I can to get closer to Fluttershy without being obvious. I won't let something bad happen ever again. I'll defend her with everything I can use. "Ok, this is it." Smells and looks like a gingerbread house. She opens the door. --Fluttershys prospective--- She watches with a bit of guilt as she watches him jump with a loud yelp as pinkiepie's confetti Cannon fires. Kuro's eyes jet open during the event. Everypony seems to become mesmerized by his eyes. He closes his eyes as he calms down. "Hehehe! Were you surprised? Were ya, were ya!?" Pinkie asks jumping up and down. It takes awhile for my heart to calm down. "Hehe. Definitely surprised. Got me good." Pinkie laughs and basically teleports to the center of the room revealing a cake, practically pulling it out of thin air. "Welcome to the welcoming party!!" This is really nice. Been awhile since I had cake. Might as well enjoy. "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's party!". Nightmares (lengthened)Author's Note Yeah this one is short but the next one won't be. Hope you enjoy. Nightmares (lengthened) Multiple Gaster Blaster summoning and firing Slash 0 I awake with the feeling of dread and the number 0 echoing across my mind. It's dawn. I check on Fluttershy and she seems to be fine so I go back to bed. When I awake, the house is quiet. I stretch my body, flexing my paws before heading into ponyville. The town is bustling as usual, ponies talking to each other, smiling, laughing. A really nice day today. I need to visit twilight to ask her something but something in the corner of my eye catches my attention. There's a figure that seems to disappear in the alleyways. I caught a quick glimpse at their LV, it was 10. I go into the alleyway to pursue them but find nothing. "Maybe I was seeing things..." I turn to leave and SLASH. 1 I wake up on the couch again. I get it now. This isn't good. I'm DETERMINED to stop this. After a few minutes of thinking, I teleport back to the alley where I saw something only to find it empty. This is going to drive me insane, I just know it. I sniff the air hoping my heightened sense would tell me something. They didn't. Since this didn't work I headed straight for twilights tree and barged in. Twilight, Applejack, and Celestia looked my way. "I can't explain right now but it's VERY important. Have you seen any weird beings on your way here? Bipedal?" They all shook their heads. I'm soon to relive my worst nightmare. I'm filled with FEAR. I open my eyes to help me see more clearly. My irises are flashing pink. "Is something wrong?" Celestia asked. "Yes. We are about to face extinction unless we can stop them." "Aren't you being a bit over dramatic?" Twilight asked. "No. The one that gave me this wound, that killed everyone in my world, that's the one that's arrived here. If we want this world to survive, we must gather together." "Alright. Then tell us what to d-" SLASH 2 The numbers of my death only climbed from there. 5 20 74 103 306. I made a difference at 306. I figured out how to awaken the true power of FEAR. I summon my soul and watch it with curiosity. It's turned dark pink. With this, I might be able to save them. A smirk crossed my face. I decided to get started early and search around for the kid. Didn't take long. They're just standing there in a crowd of ponies... Has something about them changed...? No, they must be up to something. "Heya kid. Whatcha up to?" That got their attention real fast. Instead of panicking or showing that creepy grin, they waved. Maybe something is different. But, there was a creepy feeling that crawled down my back and my reflexes made me dodge to the left. I was under some kind of trance. Nothing has changed. To think, I almost believed in them. The fight was short. Their determination didn't stand a chance against me. I paried their slash and began my own assault, non stop slices at them. They tripped and I raised my scythe with a smile and brought it down but stopped just inches away from twilights face. "Twilight. Get the hell out of the way." "No, what you're doing here is wrong! Why are you trying to kill them?" "You don't understand...please move. They don't deserve mercy." The rest of her friends arrived and took her side. "So who gave YOU the right to say that, hm?" Rainbowdash asked. I keep my gaze on the kid, "The amount of times we've died to this monster, the amount of times we tried mercy and failed. They kill because they think it's fun, because they can't they have to. This isn't a creature worth showing mercy. Have a look." I show all of my memories of us trying to reason with the human, which only led to our deaths, and the number of times it was tried. They seem shocked. "But still, that doesn't mean we can't try. Maybe their just confused and scared, we can try and help them. I believe they can change." This made me break my gaze as it stung, reminding me of my brother. Her kindness is similar to his... "Listen Ceri, I told you before, the human can't be reasoned with. Now please go back home." "Who's Ceri?" Fluttershy asked. By the time I realized I had looked away, the human rushed Infront and slashed me across my wound. Cough. "See? This wasn't self defense. It was a planned strike. Mercy isn't an option. Not against a creature so rotten." I manage to get up and prepare my next attack, but they flee. I fall but Fluttershy catches me. Barely. I watch the sky while Fluttershy gently ran her hoof over my head and twilight began trying healing magic. I started tearing up. "That...monster... It killed my brother Ceri... It killed him without a second thought. He tried to help with them, and in return, he was brutally murdered... Even in his dying moments, Ceri believed in them..." "Don't talk." Twilight said. I hold out my cracking soul to Fluttershy, "this is my soul, take it, and you will get amazing powers, and with those, you must defeat the human. Please, for the sake of the whole universe, take it." She was hesitant at first but as soon as she reached for it, it shattered. 501 739 807 Until I had enough. 1300. DETERMINATION Slaughter and the way outAuthor's Note Try to keep up with the music, it'll fit to the talking. Also, I'm going to break a rule a bit. Need to for this part. Sorry In advance. Also also, at the +, wait for the music to end. Slaughter and the way out "Fluttershy...I'm...Truly sorry." and with that, I give her a painless death. Level Up. I have to keep my eyes open. I've lost hope. This is my last resort. My irises are pure crimson. I don't understand how Fluttershy was strong enough but her EXP shot me up to LV3. This is going nicely. Off to apple jack. "So who are ya?" "Did ya forget me already? It's Your old friend. Kuro." "Are ya alright?" "No. Not at all. I'm going through pure hell. I had to kill her. Same with you." This fight wasn't easy. She's strong, that much is sure, but in the end... "Why are you doing this? We can help you!" "You can't. The amount of times I've watched you guys die...This is the only way. I'm sorry." "What do you mean?" "I've got the power to go back to a certain point in time when I die. This is the 1300th time I've died. I've had enough. We tried everything to stop them. The elements, Discord, Celestia and Luna, NOTHING worked. By killing, I gain power. I promise to fix the mess after the world is saved." In the end, she was no match for me. I kill her with a gaster blaster. Twilight is next. "kuro...!" I looked around but couldn't find the source of it. It was too quiet to tell who it was. Nonetheless, the killing must continue. Twilight was easy. Her magic may have posed a problem but I canceled any spell she would try by slicing off her horn. By that, I mean I took her head. I don't enjoy this, for Fluttershy, I had to kill most of my emotions but now Pinkie. Even as she faces death, she remains cheerful, hoping I would change...I wish there was another way. I give her one last hug before her blood was splattered everywhere. Some got on me. *Kuro, Lv.12 HP 18462913183629/1037599999999999999999999. I teleport back to Twilights only to find Celestia dead. I was beaten to the punch. I go outside and there they are. The Demon in child form. "Well lookey here, the demon child and the true monster cross in each other's paths, both on a mission just to kill the other, walking the path of destruction, both will get what they deserve." The fight begins with me firing energy scythes and gaster blasters and they dodge and attack. "Now then kid, listen and listen well, you're no longer strong enough to kill me in just one blow, I've killed a few just to put on this show, their lives meant everything, but then you came and tore reality away from me. Now then let's get on with it, as the madness is over taking, voices in my mind telling me not to fight, my soul is slowly breaking apart" I begin the pattern of a genocidal monsters attack. "You've forced me to resort to this, I loved them with all my soul and I had to kill them just to stand a chance of reverting this nightmare back to a happy reality, can you feel the sins crawling down our backs? This is a reminder of what we've done, we will be forced to feel it for eternity, but I will atone for what I've done, but only after you've gone. I will continue on with this fight, even if it is completely pointless, I've still gotta try. Hope is the only thing left I have, as my determination is gone. You've ripped my mercy right outa my chest so don't expect me to show any sympathy at all. I'm now fighting for what's left of this world, with a brand new reason to fight, I shall kill you here and now. I don't understand why you would resort to this, didn't you have enough when you destroyed my home world, or is it that you just like to see me suffer. Well regardless I've got to end this now." Our blades clash as we countlessly dodge and parry, taking vicious slices at each other, hoping just one slips up. I summon a scythe and slice the air, sending an energy wave their way which they dodge and head straight for me. It seems in the end, I too, was no match for them. They slice me in half with all of their strength. I truly wish this could've ended different. + 1301 1406 4091 5000 Finally... It clicked. I've been so blind...all of those pointless deaths, and the answer was right here. I head up to Fluttershy and wake her up. "Oop, Morning Kuro. Wh- Are you okay? Why are you crying?" "I'm... S-SO SORRY!" I was barely able to keep my voice steady as I hugged her tight. -Fluttershy pov- Kuro hugged me tightly as he cried. I'm not sure what's happening but it seems he's been through a lot somehow. "Can you tell me what happened?" "N...no... Not right now. Not until the crisis is solved. I will see ya later Fluttershy." So with that, Kuro teleported away from me. --Kuro- I had the princess make an announcement for all ponies in ponyville to evacuate, took a bit of time but I managed to convince her. I change to my original and teleport the kid Infront of me. I sigh I. Relief as I see their blade is clean. "Well then kid, here we are, you've pissed me off, and now your reign of chaos will end, and with my powers back I shall destroy you, and restore natural order" I begin my judgment by tearing them apart and reloading them countless times. "It's too late for you, you can't reload so what else can you do other than die. I've had enough, and found my strength, and with it, I shall bring about your end. I no longer will, be apart of your play, I now pull the strings, and I control your fate, and force you to rewind till the end of time, so don't run... This isn't what I wanted but it's what I got. I won't throw this away, as it's my only chance. I won't relive another reset. I no longer live in terror as now I can save their souls. This, is, the new beginning where we live free and your days of end as you draw your last breaths in battle." This is intense. The final battle between us. If either of us lose, then one will cease to exist. I make new life to help me in the fight. We fight long. When I get close, I blinked and they slashed at me. I barely dodged as they cut a bit of my ear. It was risky being too close but I've used up so much magic already. + It's finally over. Their soul shakes, then shatters. It's finally, their game over. I break down crying. "Finally... We... we're... We're finally free..." I sod out those words. All the ponies were shocked to see this. Especially princess Luna. Even in a dream world, he had so much power. "Fluttershy, be there when he wakes up. Make sure that he doesn't think he's relieving his nightmare. Inform him, it was all a dream." Chapter 5Author's Note --- represent a perspective change. I might stop this story entirely. It seems too far gone to be redeemable. Let me know if I should stop. Chapter 5 I awoke in my quadrupedal with Fluttershy by my side. She looked scared, but mostly concerned. It's either the next day or this is a new reload. The though of it sent intense dread down my spine. "Fluttershy, I have to tell you something about today." "I know, but it's all been a nightmare." "But...If it was a nightmare, how would you know?" "we kind of peaked into your dreams...please don't be mad..." I cover my eyes in shame as I start to cry, "I'm so sorry for what I had to do...I'm sorry..." I continued to whisper I'm sorry for a bit before she placed her hooves and wings around me, and gave me a hug. I hugged her back the best I could. "It's alright. It was just a dream. None of it really happened so please stop crying." She said as she rubbed my back. Her voice is so soothing... I fell asleep in her arms after a few minutes. Fluttershy felt bad about the burden kuro would have to carry if such a creature did come to equis. She gave him a few pets and stayed by his side. Wondering how he would stay sane enough to remember himself through so many painful deaths, being forced to remember each one. "So has he woken up?" Celestia asked. "He did but he fell back asleep." Twilight replied. "How do ya reckon he copes with all that?" Applejack asked. "That's not of importance. Even in a dream state, he had access to untold power, and if that thing he fought is as exactly as he remembers, then its power is truly terrifying. Even when he unlocked the rest of his powers, he almost didn't survive." Luna remarked. "Either way we need to bring him here. Twilight, could you do that?" Celestia asks. "Sure thing." 45 minutes later "I'm going to see what he's dreaming about at the moment." Luna said. Everyone nodded their heads. In Kuro's dream, he was just living peacefully in some kind of empty space. She decided that this is the chance to find out his true nature. She made him dream of the people of pony vile belittling him and dissing him. This didn't seem to bother him as he expected it. She pushed hard and made the dream days go by fast. Eventually she saw a darkness bubbling up and kept pushing to investigate. It seemed like the darkness was about to explode but instead he seemed to slow down. As she kept pushing more, making the dream treat him worse, he started to shut down and the darkness stayed the same. He was sacrificing his own energy to keep it down. Right when it looked like Kuro was about to break, she was brought back to reality when her sister yelled her name. "What's the matter... What is that?" I gain consciousness and I feel like crap. Although I hear a familiar electrical crackling. I open my eyes and see Sam. The purple lighting appearing and disappearing around her body while making the soft crackling sound. Sam is a kitsune that I created with my magic and she would only appear uncalled if she thought I was in serious danger. She is twice my current size. Her golden irises scan the room. Cancelled.Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.
Introduction To A New World(Edited)Author's Note This is my first time making a story. I'm not particularly good at personality identification so I hope you'll forgive me if I get a characters personality wrong. Lemme know what you think. If its at all confusing, let me know in the comments what it is. Also. the timeline might be all over the place. Edit: The "---" lines indicate pov changes and I chaged a few things. Let me know if its better or worse. Introduction To A New World(Edited) Introduction To A New World The Assault "ha...ha...ha..." I'm outa breath...what the hell. Are they even hum- I barely have time to finish that thought when I'm rushed by another Chara. I barely dodge and use my scythe to take their head. This normally wouldn't be a problem if they reloaded right. But they aren't. Instead of the standard time rewind, they just appear and my stamina doesn't have a chance to recover. One wouldn't be a problem normally but... I Look back up at the sea of red eyes and smiles staring me down. Even with though I can move faster than light, they can somehow keep up with me. "You can't run from us." They all say in Unison. It sends a chill down my spine. "Welp. Better alive than dead." I snap my fingers and summon a shit ton of Gaster blasters. All the color drained from my fur. Before the Chara's had time to react, I fired. The ground in front of me turned to a giant crater. I fell down onto my knees drained. My heart stopped as I saw a figure out the corner of my eye. I covered my side with all my tails barely able to block the attack. "W-wai-" As I turned around, the last Chara hit me with a devastating slash. To be frank, I don't even know why I tried to ask them to wait. I forced them back with my telekinesis as much as possible. I was barely able to open a portal and fell inside, the portal closing behind me. I tried to make a destination, but I didn't have the strength to as I was blacking out and just chose something random "Good Morning Mr. Bird. Today seems li-" The yellow mare suddenly notices a bright beam of light jetting out in the everfree forest. Her ears fold as a high pitched ring makes its way throughout the land as it widens. The ringing suddenly stops. When she looks in the direction, the widen beam narrows quickly and once it fades, a large explosion occurs in what she assumes is where the light was touching down. She has a nagging feeling like somepony needs help there. She flies off towards the explosion. I wake up in the center of a crater. It HURTS. "FUCKING DAMMIT!!" I yell in agony as my entire body yells at me with pain signals. I claw at the dirt with my paw...PAWS?! Suddenly jolted by this new form, I manage to get up for a few seconds before utterly collapsing back into the dirt. I grit my teeth. Fuck...I think I opened the wound...dammit...I'm gonna bleed out... I manage to crawl towards what I believe to be the exit of the forest leaving a rather long trail of blood. After a few minutes I lose my energy. I twist my tails to look like one and move it under my chin as a pillow. At least I'll be comfortable... I lose consciousness. "Oh dear!" The mare exclaims as she sees the large creature laying in a pool of its own blood. She flies over to check on them. When she gets close, she examines it. "Thank goodness, They're still breathing..." She's surprised that the creature managed to drag itself so far. She was able to move it into a clearing and began doing what she can to help them. She struggled to turn the thing onto its side to get a better look but when she did, she gasped at the large gash that went from its upper shoulder to its belly. After a few hours she managed to clean and patch them up for the most part. The creatures fur was mostly snow white with fiery red markings on its body and it was absolutely huge. "Fluttershy?" the mare turns to see her friends coming towards her. "We heard a large explosion and we came...to see..." Their speech slowing as the saw the massive mass of fur "What in the name of Celestia is that!?" they asked frightened but concerned. "I would think it's a rare kind of wolf except for the fact that it's head is triangular with a fox like tail. It was seriously injured when I found it." Fluttershy says. I managed to regain consciousness when I heard the sound of talking. I noticed that I had some bandages on me. It was most likely the ones that are here that patched me up. I managed to sit up and turn to thank my rescuers when I noticed they were ponies. Oh, they were also scared as hell. Except for the yellow one with wings. So a Unicorn, regular horse, and a Pegasus? Where the hell am I? "Um, hello. What are you?" Fluttershy asks. I can understand them which is interesting since I've never been to this timeline and universe before. They seem to be the shy type but are showing some courage. They have a calm and low voice which is comforting. I feel like I can somewhat trust them. I try to speak but an immense pain occurs and nothing comes out except for coughs. I also end up coughing up some blood but swallow it. The yellow mare seems concerned with my coughing fit. Seems I'm going to be mute till I can heal. I got no idea why I'm in this form but it's none of my current concern. The creature holds out it's paw and the others recoil slightly. Flutteryshy stays put. "Fluttershy, get back!" "No, It might be trying to tell us something." She moves closer to them and he watches her warily. An upside down heart forms above his paw. Its mostly pink with some red in the center. It's really cracked... Suddenly the pink takes up half and the red spreads to the other half. Dammit... It's barely holding together. My Determination was saved by my Fear trait. Thankfully Hate hasn't formed. It wouldn't do anything to me but it isn't a good feeling, not to mention dangerous to those around me. I stand up swiftly and manage to stay up. I seem to dwarf the mares in size. I'm surprised that I can keep myself up. I feel something poke the side of my neck. The yellow mare is shocked by the fact that Rarity and Twilight shot at them. But they're even more shocked at how he looks at us as if a parasprite ran into them. Fluttershy turns to scold them when the creature begins to shake and then collapse. She runs over to get a look and they're gritting their teeth like they're in serious pain. They squint as the upside-down heart reappears but... It's violently shaking and seems to be breaking apart. She doesn't know what to do. They're scratching the ground desperately and panting hard as the heart slowly breaks apart. Fucking hell...It hurts... My soul slowly starts to separate. It fucking hurts like hell and takes all of my energy to keep it from shattering. A piece breaks off and a cough jets out some blood and paints some grass in front of me crimson red. Thankfully the Fear trait stretches into pink goo to help keep it together. Thankfully the pain stops and my soul is pulled back together. The yellow mare who they call 'Fluttershy' seems genuinely worried about me. The others don't. I'm going to stay neutral to them. The risk isn't worth it, not to mention I definitely won't survive another attack like that. "What magic did you use on him?" Fluttershy ask as she goes to rub her hoof over his head. He recoils slightly when her hoof touches him but relaxes and allows Fluttershy to pet him. she lowers herself to match his eye level and realized that the entire time he's been here, his eyes were never open. "I don't know. I rushed a random spell because it looked like he was going to hurt you Flutteryshy." The purple mare trailed off as she realized she was a bit rash in her judgment and nearly killed somepony. "I would scold you but I need to care for them." She say as she goes to gather food and water for the creature. "Can we help ya Flutteryshy?" Applejack asks. "yes. I'm going to need the help. Please change their bandages while I get some food and water for them." She leaves and return after a short while to see them standing at a distance. Theres also a large crater near the animal next to their paw. "What happened here?" She ask as she look around. "We dunno. We tried to get close to him but every time he would slam his tail on the ground. When we started ignoring those and got really close, he hit the ground with his paw and we thought it was best to back off." Twilight responds. That was too big of a risk but thankfully they backed off. Definitely rash on my part but I'd rather not risk an accidental death during a bandage change. Fluttershy holds out some berries in front of me. I open my mouth and she seems frightened at first but realizes I'm asking for her to toss em in, so she does so. I chew on them and swallow, glad that got a little something to eat. She helps me drink the water by holding the glass for me. I gently rub her neck with my nose to thank her which elicits a laugh from her. "Well, it seems to have some sapient intelligence." The purple unicorn says. Normally I'd voice my displeasure at being called It but I can't speak so I just shot her a look. She seems to get it. After they help with the bandage change, they help Fluttershy get me onto my... paws and get me to her home. I barely fit through her door, but they manage to squeeze me inside after a few minutes of pushing. I do not wish to stand anymore because it's putting a rather large amount of strain on my body so the second I see her couch, I flop onto it which causes it to do the normal couch squeaks. Fluttershy comes over and touches my ears. After her friends say goodbye, she goes to bed. Its been a long day.
A new day (Completed)Author's Note --- represent a perspective shift. If there is any mistakes, point em out please cause I finished this while trying not to fall asleep. A new day (Completed) As twilight makes her way back home, she ponders how she is to tell the princess about the mysterious kitsune that has appeared. She walks in expecting spike to ask her what she did today, but to her surprise, he's asleep early. With no distractions, she decides to send a message to the princess immediately. Dear Princess Celestia, Today my friends and I went to Fluttershy's. Upon arriving, we found a mysterious creature that was seriously wounded and couldn't speak. When the being stood, they were huge, and I feared the worst for Fluttershy who was closest to the being. In a panicked state, I fired a random spell that seemed to nearly kill them. They survived and became cautious of everypony except Fluttershy. What should we do? Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle. She sent the letter and said "Now all I do now is wa-" A letter appeared and it read. Dear Twilight Sparkle, Don't worry about this. The royal guard and I shall look into this creature and confirm their intentions. Sincerely Princess Celestia. First thing I notice is that I'm back in my normal form. Though my tails are still curled. The hell is this place? I think to myself as I look at the environment. It takes me a few seconds to realize that this is a dream world. I check my body and the wound is still there but it doesn't seem to affect my abilities here. I summon a small bone and toss it around when I see the outline of a alicorn behind me. I don't really need to use my eyes because of a unique ability I have that outlines the surrounding environment as well as objects and the way it looks. "Heya. So what brings you to my dreams?" I ask. The dark mare takes notice of my singular tail and body shape. "I visit everypony when I can. You are new though so I came to see you first to confirm your intentions. So first off, what's your name?" She asks. "What's with the distance? No need to be that far. Also, names Kuro." "I keep this distance for caution. No need to be concerned. So, why don't you tell me about yourself?" "Why? Not planning to go on a date are we?" The mare seems slightly flustered. "Well why don't I just show you?" I make a screen appear behind me and turn to it and sit down. The mare moves slightly closer to watch the mysterious object. The screen begins playing my happy memories of the great time I had with friends and family, laughing, playing, and sparring. We watch for what seems like hours before the screen stops playing. "There ya go. Those are my memories." "You seem like a nice pony but what about your other memories?" My facial expression darkens and she seems bothered by it. I sigh and relax. "I'm not ready to share those. I'll tell you when I'm ready. Oh by the way, I never caught your name." "I'm Princess Luna." "A princess huh? Pretty cool." The guards already have their weapons out and pointed at the being, shivering in fear at his massive size. "Rise and come closer." The being stands up and moves closer to Celestia and she sees that he is a bit bigger than her. Celestia watches with a shocked expression as a guard drives a spear into the beings chest. A upside down heart appears for a brief moment before violently shaking and shattering. The being soon falls limp onto the floor, lifeless. The Princess wakes up in her bed. "A premonition? Not good. I must prevent this from happening." When she arrives at the throne room, the creature is already awake and seems worried. He stands up and the event repeats itself. The Princess wakes up in her bed. "W-what is this? A double premonition? This must be serious." The princess thinks to herself. As dawn approaches, Celestia raises the sun as usual and heads to the throne room to make sure that everything is going alright. When she arrives, the large creature seems to be upset about something even though the guards are staying at a distance. Might be because he was transported without warning and doesn't like his new environment. "What's happened?" "Nothing yet princess. He's stayed in that one spot and hasn't moved since he woke up." One of the guards respond. "How odd." This is a bit different than her premonitions. Perhaps the premonitions were wrong. She sits in her throne and says, "Stand and tell me your name.". Celestia waits for a minute, but he doesn't move or speak. He then raises his head and upper body a bit and the bandages unravel a bit, revealing what seems to be a rather fresh and giant wound and the bandage tighten back. A horrifying realization comes to all the ponies. The bandages that go from his shoulders to his thighs are covering a very large wound. It takes the Princess some time, but she comes to the conclusion that the damage is so extensive that it's damaged his vocal cords. Hopefully they will leave me alone after this. I can't defend myself in my condition. "Do you have another form of communications by any chance?" I nod and use some magic to create words that say 'hi'. "So, what is your name and what are your intentions?" I create words that say, "My name is Kuro. As for why I'm here, I have no idea." Thankfully I managed to learn how to write equestrian real fast. But my message seems to have surprised them. "Explain please." "I didn't come here on purpose. I was trying to escape an attacker and just happened to end up here." "What gave you that wound?" "It's best that you don't know. But if you're worried about them coming here, don't. They are from another world like me." "You come from another world?" "Yes and I don't plan to explain." "You will answer her questions!" A random guard says to me. "It's fine, Stand down. The guard relaxes. "Now then, is there a particular reason why you don't want to explain?" "Yes. Everyone there is dead and since this just recently happened, I'd prefer not to talk about it just yet." "I see. Well ho-" My stomach growled. I'd laugh if it didn't hurt. The guards seem uncomfortable, but other than that, they seemed pretty composed. "Would you like to eat?" Celestia asked. "But princess he -" "Quiet please. I see no hostile intent in him so we shall treat him as a guest." I manage to sit up which puts the guards on alert. "No need. But you and Princess Luna should come and see me in the dream world if possible. Oh, and try to bring Fluttershy and her friends. I'd love to know them better." A blue light envelopes Kuro and he disappears. "Teleportation that doesn't leave a magical signature? Very interesting." The princess said to herself. "Would you like us to do anything your highness?" "No, leave him be. I'm sure he'll be fine. Now, I'm going to visit princess Luna. You are dismissed." 10 Minutes Later I do what I can to knock on the door to this wooden tree's door. The door opens and a small dragon is there to greet me. "Hello. Is Twilight in?" "Um. Yeah but, what do you want with her and how did you find out she lived here? Also, what's with the magical writing?" "I can't speak and I asked Fluttershy. She told me Twilight lives here." "Neat. Come inside while I go get her." Upon entering the tree, my nose is hit with the smell of book pages and ink. Most likely Twilight's books; Spike doesn't seem to be the studious type. Fluttershy wasn't kidding about him being small for a dragon. I must of been spacing out because I only notice Twilight after she shakes me. "Hm? Oh, heya Twilight." "Um, hi. Are you feeling okay? I'm really sorry about yesterday, and why are you using magic to write?" "Well I'd say it wasn't that bad, but that's an obvious lie. Either way, that's in the past, and I'm doing this because I can't speak." The mares ears lower a bit, "Did I..." "No. It's because of my current injury, so don't worry about it. Well, to the point. I'd like to know more about this world. I've never seen this one before." ""Seen this one"? There are more than world with life like this?" She asks excitedly. "Yeah. I keep an eye on as many as possible. Thought I'd seen them all." "We're on Equestria, in ponyville. Here, many ponies, pegasus, and unicorns live in harmony. Princess Celestia raises the sun, and Princess Luna raises the moon. Also, how can you walk without bumping into anything, and how do you know my name?" "I sense my surroundings with a power I have. Pretty much outlines everything and I heard from Fluttershy. My name's Kuro by the way." "Can I see your eyes?" "You wanna see my eyes kid? Alright." Twilight watches as Kuro opened his eyes. His eyes are beautiful. The top half of his eyes are a glimmering emerald green while the lower half are a rippling rose pink. They seem to constantly shift place. "W...Wow... Rarity would flip out..." He closes his eyes and it takes some time for the mare to regain her composure. "Um. So I have another question. Wh-" "Hey Twilight! PinkiePie is doing her thing! Flutteryshy's the last one." "Oh. Okay Rainbowdash, I'll be there. Uh, kuro can you get Fluttershy and bring her to sugar cube corner? Just tell Fluttershy the name." "Sure. See ya there." Kuro is enveloped in a blue light and disappears. Twilight seemed nervous about something. Wonder what. I teleport inside Fluttershy's house and say, "Yo, anyon- pony here?" "Eep!" I felt a little bad as I watched the mare jump out of fright. "Sorry about that. Twilight wants us at sugar cube corner for pinkies...plans. didn't say what they were though." She's also nervous now, a little more than Twilight was. "Something wrong?" "Oh, not at all. Are you feeling better by any chance Kuro?" "Yeah. I've gained a bit more of my magic." I tell her while we walk. "May I see it?" "Sorry, but my magic isn't really suited for...safety." "Oh, ok..." "Sorry." "It's okay. I understand." I kinda feel bad now. But as we get to the town, it's...empty. The atmosphere feels tense and the air stale. Something is wrong...but, what? "Are you okay Kuro?" "Huh? Yeah, yeah I'm fine. Just...spaced out a little." I do what I can to get closer to Fluttershy without being obvious. I won't let something bad happen ever again. I'll defend her with everything I can use. "Ok, this is it." Smells and looks like a gingerbread house. She opens the door. --Fluttershys prospective--- She watches with a bit of guilt as she watches him jump with a loud yelp as pinkiepie's confetti Cannon fires. Kuro's eyes jet open during the event. Everypony seems to become mesmerized by his eyes. He closes his eyes as he calms down. "Hehehe! Were you surprised? Were ya, were ya!?" Pinkie asks jumping up and down. It takes awhile for my heart to calm down. "Hehe. Definitely surprised. Got me good." Pinkie laughs and basically teleports to the center of the room revealing a cake, practically pulling it out of thin air. "Welcome to the welcoming party!!" This is really nice. Been awhile since I had cake. Might as well enjoy. "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's party!".
Nightmares (lengthened)Author's Note Yeah this one is short but the next one won't be. Hope you enjoy. Nightmares (lengthened) Multiple Gaster Blaster summoning and firing Slash 0 I awake with the feeling of dread and the number 0 echoing across my mind. It's dawn. I check on Fluttershy and she seems to be fine so I go back to bed. When I awake, the house is quiet. I stretch my body, flexing my paws before heading into ponyville. The town is bustling as usual, ponies talking to each other, smiling, laughing. A really nice day today. I need to visit twilight to ask her something but something in the corner of my eye catches my attention. There's a figure that seems to disappear in the alleyways. I caught a quick glimpse at their LV, it was 10. I go into the alleyway to pursue them but find nothing. "Maybe I was seeing things..." I turn to leave and SLASH. 1 I wake up on the couch again. I get it now. This isn't good. I'm DETERMINED to stop this. After a few minutes of thinking, I teleport back to the alley where I saw something only to find it empty. This is going to drive me insane, I just know it. I sniff the air hoping my heightened sense would tell me something. They didn't. Since this didn't work I headed straight for twilights tree and barged in. Twilight, Applejack, and Celestia looked my way. "I can't explain right now but it's VERY important. Have you seen any weird beings on your way here? Bipedal?" They all shook their heads. I'm soon to relive my worst nightmare. I'm filled with FEAR. I open my eyes to help me see more clearly. My irises are flashing pink. "Is something wrong?" Celestia asked. "Yes. We are about to face extinction unless we can stop them." "Aren't you being a bit over dramatic?" Twilight asked. "No. The one that gave me this wound, that killed everyone in my world, that's the one that's arrived here. If we want this world to survive, we must gather together." "Alright. Then tell us what to d-" SLASH 2 The numbers of my death only climbed from there. 5 20 74 103 306. I made a difference at 306. I figured out how to awaken the true power of FEAR. I summon my soul and watch it with curiosity. It's turned dark pink. With this, I might be able to save them. A smirk crossed my face. I decided to get started early and search around for the kid. Didn't take long. They're just standing there in a crowd of ponies... Has something about them changed...? No, they must be up to something. "Heya kid. Whatcha up to?" That got their attention real fast. Instead of panicking or showing that creepy grin, they waved. Maybe something is different. But, there was a creepy feeling that crawled down my back and my reflexes made me dodge to the left. I was under some kind of trance. Nothing has changed. To think, I almost believed in them. The fight was short. Their determination didn't stand a chance against me. I paried their slash and began my own assault, non stop slices at them. They tripped and I raised my scythe with a smile and brought it down but stopped just inches away from twilights face. "Twilight. Get the hell out of the way." "No, what you're doing here is wrong! Why are you trying to kill them?" "You don't understand...please move. They don't deserve mercy." The rest of her friends arrived and took her side. "So who gave YOU the right to say that, hm?" Rainbowdash asked. I keep my gaze on the kid, "The amount of times we've died to this monster, the amount of times we tried mercy and failed. They kill because they think it's fun, because they can't they have to. This isn't a creature worth showing mercy. Have a look." I show all of my memories of us trying to reason with the human, which only led to our deaths, and the number of times it was tried. They seem shocked. "But still, that doesn't mean we can't try. Maybe their just confused and scared, we can try and help them. I believe they can change." This made me break my gaze as it stung, reminding me of my brother. Her kindness is similar to his... "Listen Ceri, I told you before, the human can't be reasoned with. Now please go back home." "Who's Ceri?" Fluttershy asked. By the time I realized I had looked away, the human rushed Infront and slashed me across my wound. Cough. "See? This wasn't self defense. It was a planned strike. Mercy isn't an option. Not against a creature so rotten." I manage to get up and prepare my next attack, but they flee. I fall but Fluttershy catches me. Barely. I watch the sky while Fluttershy gently ran her hoof over my head and twilight began trying healing magic. I started tearing up. "That...monster... It killed my brother Ceri... It killed him without a second thought. He tried to help with them, and in return, he was brutally murdered... Even in his dying moments, Ceri believed in them..." "Don't talk." Twilight said. I hold out my cracking soul to Fluttershy, "this is my soul, take it, and you will get amazing powers, and with those, you must defeat the human. Please, for the sake of the whole universe, take it." She was hesitant at first but as soon as she reached for it, it shattered. 501 739 807 Until I had enough. 1300. DETERMINATION
Slaughter and the way outAuthor's Note Try to keep up with the music, it'll fit to the talking. Also, I'm going to break a rule a bit. Need to for this part. Sorry In advance. Also also, at the +, wait for the music to end. Slaughter and the way out "Fluttershy...I'm...Truly sorry." and with that, I give her a painless death. Level Up. I have to keep my eyes open. I've lost hope. This is my last resort. My irises are pure crimson. I don't understand how Fluttershy was strong enough but her EXP shot me up to LV3. This is going nicely. Off to apple jack. "So who are ya?" "Did ya forget me already? It's Your old friend. Kuro." "Are ya alright?" "No. Not at all. I'm going through pure hell. I had to kill her. Same with you." This fight wasn't easy. She's strong, that much is sure, but in the end... "Why are you doing this? We can help you!" "You can't. The amount of times I've watched you guys die...This is the only way. I'm sorry." "What do you mean?" "I've got the power to go back to a certain point in time when I die. This is the 1300th time I've died. I've had enough. We tried everything to stop them. The elements, Discord, Celestia and Luna, NOTHING worked. By killing, I gain power. I promise to fix the mess after the world is saved." In the end, she was no match for me. I kill her with a gaster blaster. Twilight is next. "kuro...!" I looked around but couldn't find the source of it. It was too quiet to tell who it was. Nonetheless, the killing must continue. Twilight was easy. Her magic may have posed a problem but I canceled any spell she would try by slicing off her horn. By that, I mean I took her head. I don't enjoy this, for Fluttershy, I had to kill most of my emotions but now Pinkie. Even as she faces death, she remains cheerful, hoping I would change...I wish there was another way. I give her one last hug before her blood was splattered everywhere. Some got on me. *Kuro, Lv.12 HP 18462913183629/1037599999999999999999999. I teleport back to Twilights only to find Celestia dead. I was beaten to the punch. I go outside and there they are. The Demon in child form. "Well lookey here, the demon child and the true monster cross in each other's paths, both on a mission just to kill the other, walking the path of destruction, both will get what they deserve." The fight begins with me firing energy scythes and gaster blasters and they dodge and attack. "Now then kid, listen and listen well, you're no longer strong enough to kill me in just one blow, I've killed a few just to put on this show, their lives meant everything, but then you came and tore reality away from me. Now then let's get on with it, as the madness is over taking, voices in my mind telling me not to fight, my soul is slowly breaking apart" I begin the pattern of a genocidal monsters attack. "You've forced me to resort to this, I loved them with all my soul and I had to kill them just to stand a chance of reverting this nightmare back to a happy reality, can you feel the sins crawling down our backs? This is a reminder of what we've done, we will be forced to feel it for eternity, but I will atone for what I've done, but only after you've gone. I will continue on with this fight, even if it is completely pointless, I've still gotta try. Hope is the only thing left I have, as my determination is gone. You've ripped my mercy right outa my chest so don't expect me to show any sympathy at all. I'm now fighting for what's left of this world, with a brand new reason to fight, I shall kill you here and now. I don't understand why you would resort to this, didn't you have enough when you destroyed my home world, or is it that you just like to see me suffer. Well regardless I've got to end this now." Our blades clash as we countlessly dodge and parry, taking vicious slices at each other, hoping just one slips up. I summon a scythe and slice the air, sending an energy wave their way which they dodge and head straight for me. It seems in the end, I too, was no match for them. They slice me in half with all of their strength. I truly wish this could've ended different. + 1301 1406 4091 5000 Finally... It clicked. I've been so blind...all of those pointless deaths, and the answer was right here. I head up to Fluttershy and wake her up. "Oop, Morning Kuro. Wh- Are you okay? Why are you crying?" "I'm... S-SO SORRY!" I was barely able to keep my voice steady as I hugged her tight. -Fluttershy pov- Kuro hugged me tightly as he cried. I'm not sure what's happening but it seems he's been through a lot somehow. "Can you tell me what happened?" "N...no... Not right now. Not until the crisis is solved. I will see ya later Fluttershy." So with that, Kuro teleported away from me. --Kuro- I had the princess make an announcement for all ponies in ponyville to evacuate, took a bit of time but I managed to convince her. I change to my original and teleport the kid Infront of me. I sigh I. Relief as I see their blade is clean. "Well then kid, here we are, you've pissed me off, and now your reign of chaos will end, and with my powers back I shall destroy you, and restore natural order" I begin my judgment by tearing them apart and reloading them countless times. "It's too late for you, you can't reload so what else can you do other than die. I've had enough, and found my strength, and with it, I shall bring about your end. I no longer will, be apart of your play, I now pull the strings, and I control your fate, and force you to rewind till the end of time, so don't run... This isn't what I wanted but it's what I got. I won't throw this away, as it's my only chance. I won't relive another reset. I no longer live in terror as now I can save their souls. This, is, the new beginning where we live free and your days of end as you draw your last breaths in battle." This is intense. The final battle between us. If either of us lose, then one will cease to exist. I make new life to help me in the fight. We fight long. When I get close, I blinked and they slashed at me. I barely dodged as they cut a bit of my ear. It was risky being too close but I've used up so much magic already. + It's finally over. Their soul shakes, then shatters. It's finally, their game over. I break down crying. "Finally... We... we're... We're finally free..." I sod out those words. All the ponies were shocked to see this. Especially princess Luna. Even in a dream world, he had so much power. "Fluttershy, be there when he wakes up. Make sure that he doesn't think he's relieving his nightmare. Inform him, it was all a dream."
Chapter 5Author's Note --- represent a perspective change. I might stop this story entirely. It seems too far gone to be redeemable. Let me know if I should stop. Chapter 5 I awoke in my quadrupedal with Fluttershy by my side. She looked scared, but mostly concerned. It's either the next day or this is a new reload. The though of it sent intense dread down my spine. "Fluttershy, I have to tell you something about today." "I know, but it's all been a nightmare." "But...If it was a nightmare, how would you know?" "we kind of peaked into your dreams...please don't be mad..." I cover my eyes in shame as I start to cry, "I'm so sorry for what I had to do...I'm sorry..." I continued to whisper I'm sorry for a bit before she placed her hooves and wings around me, and gave me a hug. I hugged her back the best I could. "It's alright. It was just a dream. None of it really happened so please stop crying." She said as she rubbed my back. Her voice is so soothing... I fell asleep in her arms after a few minutes. Fluttershy felt bad about the burden kuro would have to carry if such a creature did come to equis. She gave him a few pets and stayed by his side. Wondering how he would stay sane enough to remember himself through so many painful deaths, being forced to remember each one. "So has he woken up?" Celestia asked. "He did but he fell back asleep." Twilight replied. "How do ya reckon he copes with all that?" Applejack asked. "That's not of importance. Even in a dream state, he had access to untold power, and if that thing he fought is as exactly as he remembers, then its power is truly terrifying. Even when he unlocked the rest of his powers, he almost didn't survive." Luna remarked. "Either way we need to bring him here. Twilight, could you do that?" Celestia asks. "Sure thing." 45 minutes later "I'm going to see what he's dreaming about at the moment." Luna said. Everyone nodded their heads. In Kuro's dream, he was just living peacefully in some kind of empty space. She decided that this is the chance to find out his true nature. She made him dream of the people of pony vile belittling him and dissing him. This didn't seem to bother him as he expected it. She pushed hard and made the dream days go by fast. Eventually she saw a darkness bubbling up and kept pushing to investigate. It seemed like the darkness was about to explode but instead he seemed to slow down. As she kept pushing more, making the dream treat him worse, he started to shut down and the darkness stayed the same. He was sacrificing his own energy to keep it down. Right when it looked like Kuro was about to break, she was brought back to reality when her sister yelled her name. "What's the matter... What is that?" I gain consciousness and I feel like crap. Although I hear a familiar electrical crackling. I open my eyes and see Sam. The purple lighting appearing and disappearing around her body while making the soft crackling sound. Sam is a kitsune that I created with my magic and she would only appear uncalled if she thought I was in serious danger. She is twice my current size. Her golden irises scan the room.
