Spirit animal (Rewrite)

The pile of the timber wolves bodies in the middle of my yard. Stones lined the edge of it and surrounded the pile. I have done this some many times and those times I have watched them all burn. Having already trenched the pile in gasoline and lighting a match and throwing it into the pile it instantly set on fire. Turning not worrying about the fire and knowing that it would be fine. Gathering my knives and tomahawks, putting them in a tactical vest made for my weapons. Finally I got one of my guns I hadn't used in years. A lever action rifle made by the Winchesters from back in the day. kept in fine condition, reloading a 30-30 I swung around and fired as quickly as I could. The bullet hit its mark, the mark being a on fire timber wolf trying to crawl its way out of the roaring fire. Stomping out the flames the escaped timber wolf left I then made my way to Ponyville. Dodging through the tree and running as fast as I could I was going to follow the orders given to me. Of course if the orders where something fucked up I would not fallow them.

Seeing the end of the forest I still ran for the town seeing the weird state it was in. Pink clouds zoomed through the skies and rained what I could only guess was brown water or something chocolate. Heading for the train station I saw the six mares I had to protect. They seemed to see me as I ran to them through the town. Stopping and looking at them I then said what I needed to say.

"I am here to protect you, and no is not an option." The six looked at me with confusion and then just looked at the train letting me know that they most likely didn't care. The train ride was awkward when you sat next to the pony and you accidentally showed them affection. Pinkie was quiet and she had a blush on her face, I had one too but I would be caught dead blushing. But the silence was deafening and I just needed to break the ice and well what the hell do I got to lose. "January 5th, that is the day of my birth."

'''The day of my birth?'' What are we some kind of a royal knight or some shit?' The voice of my own head and doubts rang in my ears. That distracted me from seeing the mass of pink shoot right at me and hold me in a death grip. I came to call the grip the pinkie pie bone crusher, it is only a matter of time before that name becomes too true. Using all my might I tried to break free not thinking about the rise and increase in my muscles. I broke free to my surprise and all the others including pinkie.

"Aww, but I want to hug you." She said in a sing-song voice. Looking at her I at least needed to do this for her as I did embarrass her in my own home. Walking to her I wrapped my arms around her and then hugged her gently. And she stood there not knowing what to do. Then finally letting go and sitting back down I saw her stand there like a statue. The train ride was filled with giggles and the girls looking to me and back to pinkie with whispers and hushed voices. Getting out and see the city of Canterlot in all its whit and and more white. Fucking hell do these ponies know that there are more colors on the fucking color while!?

"Chaz, are you coming princess celestia will not wait forever." Twilight said while running to the castle. I followed with my strength rising once again. And this time I noticed it as I passed the six and it took me a while to realize that well I was getting stronger and it was not normal. I should be this strong even after a year in the forest. This was no doubt the work of something else, something I was sure didn't exist.

'Dude, are you alone in there?' I asked the voice of my own doubts.

'Yeah I think there is something here and it seems like a bear?' I heard the voice say as he seemed to search through my head. How I knew that I will never know myself as I just headed to the castle with the ponies behind me. There the main six ran to the princess from a hall of the castle, the walls lined with widows depicting events of what I could only assume were the past or gods or heroes. But one caught my eye and I could see the strangest depiction of a missed matched creature. It had looked like a four year old for a make your own animal project as the limbs were all different animals. And the head was also matched with horns and even its teeth were missing. That was when I realized that it wasn't a widow I was looking at and the head looked too detailed. It seemed to notice that I caught on and it turned to me and winked at me with a smile. Quickly going for a tomahawk I took my eyes off the widow and that might have given it enough time to get out of there. As when I looked back it was back to normal and the details I saw were now simple and very little.

"Ghost, you will accompany my little ponies understood." I herd celestias voice and I looked to her giving a nod. Following the six mares to the outside I knew that there was something wrong. That was when rainbow dash flew trying to fly above the grass maze.

"Rainbow dash wait!" I yelled to her but it was alright too late for that. As she fell to the grown landing hard and she and I noticed that she no longer had wings

"My wings!" She screamed and at that moment the wings on fluttershy's back disappeared as well. After that the horns on top of twilight and rarities heads vanished. Both of the aforementioned unicorns panicked and the focus shifted to the maze. That was when the missed matched creature showed itself to all of us. A cackle we all heard and in a flash of light it rose from a crouched state.

"You should have seen the looks on your faces. Well most of your faces, the ghost of the everfree shows no emotion right?" The creature looked at me and smiled knowing that I was a stone wall of emotions.

"Give us owner wings and horns back!" Twilight demanded of the creature and that was when I tried to throw my tomahawk at it. That was when in mid air it turned into a balloon and fell beardly doing anything and making me question my own sanity.

"Oh, what's wrong little ghost can throw a little ax?" The creature said to me with my blood boiling at how it was one of the only things I had back home. He was talking to the ponies and focused on me. I took my change as well. If you are not fighting dirty you are not fighting at all. Leaping at the creature I latched myself on its back and began to punch letting the spirit of the brown bear fuel my rage. This gave me strength and made what would have been only a few seconds of fighting to two minutes of punches and Elbows to the face, back, and chest. But it did not last long as a portal opened and I was flung through it with the creature shouting in rage.

Going through the portal I landed hard against a tree. The trees nearly snapped in half and my body was no better as I felt ribs break. Honestly surprised that I am not dead and even more that I got up trying to get back through the portal. But it had closed and the voice rang out all around me.

"Of course a human acts with violence and does want to play my game. But that is why your kind is my favorite to watch." I looked around finally feeling the pain of the broken rip. This was a bad time as the creature continued to talk. "Now entertain me Human!" That was when timberwolves and something new emerged from the grown. Its entire body was made up of wood and had a figure of a human. "That is why I love to see the human nature and how chaotic it is." More humanoid tree people rose from the ground. "Show me why celestia fears you so much!" I looked at several tree based enemies. I had no way of setting them on fire but my face grew a smile, a smile of my own insanity. I have faced many horror's in this very forest. I have looked death in the eyes and I embrace it with open arms. The very voice of my doubts and insincerities had so many things in common. But the one we love the most is the thrill of the fight, the pain of the broken ribs and the taste of my own blood.

'This is all we wanted!!! Let's show them we fear the Cooley Family!!!.' I ran full speed at one of the timberwolves. Drawing out my blue steel combat knife and plunged it straight through the wooden skull of the timber wolf. At that moment all hell broke loose, timber wolves leaped toward me and the tree monster charged me with what I could only assume were sharpened weapons made of wood. Don't know if they are effective but I am not taking any chances. Stepping to avoid the wooden weapon I was then attacked from behind. Timber wolf had jumped on my back and sinked its splinter like teeth into flesh. Blood rushed out of my shoulder and the timber pulled at the chuck it held. Still standing I then slammed the timber wolf into a tree resulting in a deafening crunch. But the timber wolf did not loosen its grip, rather it tried to rip off my flesh. I was not going to let that happen as I have a home to see, brothers to protect and more importantly make him proud. Using the steel blue knife in my hand I stabbed it into the head of the timber wolf making it go limp.

Blood gushed through the holes left by the wolf. Not making it better that there was more fuckers ready to fight and or kill. 'Are you afraid? What is there to fear!? Use the pain and fight. Just like he taught us.' I clenched my fist in rage and looked at the several tree people gathering to me. I stared back at their soulless eyes and started to laugh at what I saw.

"You think this scares me? No I haven't felt more ALIVE!!!" I yelled my fears and doubts smiling alongside with me. This is the one thing we can agree on. It is the only connection that makes us, us. The thrill of the fight that is why we are the same person that is what makes me a Cooley.

Rushing in I then used my damaged arm to weld a tomahawk. It hurt like hell making me slower but I was taught to not show emotion and to continue to fight. Blood rushed through my hand holding the tomahawk and that blocked an ax swing from a tree person. My arm screamed in pain and I clenched my teeth and tears ran down my face. But the will to live and the thrill of the fight will keep me going and it will continue to do so. Suddenly a sharp pain shot from my gut and I looked down to see a wooden blade plunged into my gut. Lucky for me I had some metal in my vet for armor as most in not all of the ponies weapons are just swords. Haven't found anything to defect or do anything for magic except for magic.

Using the blue steel blade I plunged it into the head of the wooden person fell to pieces. And the wooden sword then fell out of my gut. The stab was not that deep but it still bled and not to mention that there were still several more of them. Thinking about what I could do as there were too many of them. 'We fight until we drop, that is what he taught us' I saw or was that, nevermind that if we continue to fight I will surely die. Then I felt the primal rage of the brown bear. Then before I could do anything to stop it a spirit of the bear formed around my forearms. And against my will I then rushed all of them ripping them apart and making scraps. But this did not go without a consequence, several times I was cut and stabbed. My blood painted the forest and so did the remains of the tree people, but by the time I had claimed down my body screamed to be relieved of this pain.

My vision blurred and I could barely stand on my own two feet. Walking to where I tough where the town was, my legs cried out for me to stop. But if I was to rest I would either die due to blood loss or to all the monsters here. That was when lady luck decided to smile at me. And a familiar voice came out from my left. But it was muffled and blurry when I turned to face her.

"Ghost! My friend, do not worry for this is not the end!" I fell face first and I fell asleep hoping that I was not dead and if I was then what's wrong with that
