Chapters Chapter 1. A story ends to let another begin...
A battlefield littered with corpses sets our scene, explosions going off in the distance can only be faintly seen due to the thick black smog which comes with war, the air tainted with the blood of the fallen could be easily smelt, but we are not here to admire the scenery no, we are here to know where our hero is.
“Come on stay with me!” *Ah that sounds like him, I wonder where he is. Ah there he is.*
A perfect circle was made in the grave yard of the fallen, nothing was inside of it apart from our hero and a woman whom he was clutching in his arms, and they were both losing a lot of blood, they were also missing large parts of their skin and clothing.
“Sol it’s going to be okay like it always is”
“No! It’s not! Just look at you” Sol said tears streaming from his eyes “Please don’t leave me Jade”
“I haven’t seen you cry this much when your sister died” Jade said in a weak and fragile voice “Do I really mean that much to you?”
“Of course you do, that’s why I don’t want you to go”
“Am sorry Sol, but I think you’re going to have to deal with the rest yourself” As Jade said that her eyes closed and didn’t reopen, her body went stiff and her hands dropped to the floor and stayed there.
“Um, so it’s just us two now Sol” Came a voice from be hide Sol, *looks like we have a new visited.*
Sol turned around still kneeling on the floor and still holding onto Jade’s body, he swiped one of his hands around to reveal a gun and pointed it directly at where the voice came from, the smog masked this new arrival and all Sol could see was a shadow standing up, but the way the figure was standing Sol could guess that he too was holding a gun and pointing it at him.
“If you think you can kill me Pa you have another thing coming” Sol said with sadness still stuck in his throat.
“On the contrary, this little bullet here was personal hand crafted to kill you” Pa replied from the darkness of the smog “And you’ll lost too much blood, your emotions are all over the place and to top it all off you don’t have your stupid blade with you. I know am going to die but you never do, you always live, and you always survive but this time you’re not going to”.
“Is that why you killed our sister? Because I wouldn’t die” Sol asked, but he didn’t give Pa enough time to respond before he said something else “What do you think mom and dad would say if they could see you know?”
“What they would say, they would say well done son, you finally killed the plague that haunted our household all this time” Pa said with pride “Besides it doesn’t matter now, there dead and will soon be joining them”.
A few minutes past both of them holding their ground waiting for something, something that would allow them to start but before then they were both staring at each other though the thick blackened smog still holding on to there guns, explosions still went off in the distance they were caused by some sort of cannon and quite frankly neither of them cared, they only thing they were bothered about was which one of them was going to die first, then suddenly an explosion happened directly above them blasting the smog and bodies around them far away but neither of them flinched but they
merely just pulled the trigger on their respected guns which caused a sound that ripped though the air.
__________________________________________________________________________________
*Well that was certainly interesting. So you now know who our hero is and where he came from but you don’t live in the past you live in the present. So I wonder where he wondered off to, ah there he is what is he doing there?*
“I wonder how much blood I loosed” Sol whispered to himself as he struggled to limp through the thick undergrowth of a jungle that he somehow wondered into and the sun wasn’t making it any easier for him. But on the other hand now that he was out of the black smog he could finally asses his injuries.
He decided to stop and looked down in order to see his bare feet; well one of them, he was missing his left foot it was just a blood stained stump and his right foot wasn’t doing any better, he was missing his big toe and there was a large hole in the centre of the foot as well ‘must of gotten it from when I kicked that spear’ He thought to himself. He proceeded to work his way up and examined his legs next, his left one was covered in blood and was missing a large chunk, but the right one only had a large gashes stretching across it, he then realised that he still had his shorts on he also realised that they were crimson red, they were pure black when he got them.
He was about to lift up his shirt to see if his torso was still intact but a certain growl caught his attention, he looked up to see a wolf completely made up of branches and sticks, it’s eyes were glowing a magical green colour and it mouth was ajar and it look very hungry, Sol brought up his hands only to figure out he couldn’t move his left arm only the right one, he looked down only to see that the major mussels were missing in his arm “That’s not good” Sol said to himself “Luckily I only need one” .
He brought up his right arm which was holding a staff of some sorts, it was simply a straight piece of honey coloured wood with lines carved on the top to act like a sort of handle, the rest of it had blobs of brown paint and blood splattered all over it, he threw it in the air only to catch on the handle part and point it directly towards the branch wolf ‘Not a good name but it will do’.
The wolf charged towards Sol and shoot directly towards the sky, it held a claw above its twisted head and brought it down on Sol. However the claw didn’t make contact with Sol but rather his staff which was held high above his head, he whipped his arm to the right which caused the wolf to tumble over, it cried in some sort of pain, as it managed to bring itself to its paw it brought the one that made contact with the staff to its face, its eyes widened as it could see a cleanly cut line on its paw, it looked towards where Sol was standing only to see thin air.
“You shouldn’t of dropped your guard” Sol said from behind the wolf, he held the staff pointed towards the back of the wolfs head, he was about to impale the creature when suddenly a bark from a shadow of a nearby tree drew his attention, he looked only to see that the strange creature brought some friends.
“Well this is going to be fun”

“Are you sure your okay with staying way out here?” Twilight asked Discord as they and the other mane 6 walked and trotted though the Everfree forest.
“Yes am going to be perfectly fine” Discord replied “Besides I had a castle somewhere in here when I ruled Equestria you know”
“Wait you mean that old grey castle which housed the elements of harmony?” Twilight asked.
“Um maybe, I don’t know. When Celestia imprisoned me in stone she might have used it to house the elements, cleaver hide them in the one place I would look last” Discord said as he slid over a fallen tree. The others either hopped or flew over it.
They continued walking down the path that was worn out over the eons until something caught their attention, they could hear a bunch of wolfs howling and crying off in the distance of the forest, they could also hear something shouting ‘come on you bloody twigs’, yeah it sounded like that.
“What the hell was that” Rainbow was the first to speak.
“I don’t know but it sound like some pony needs our help” Twilight said already taking off and diving into the thick undergrowth, shortly followed by the rest minus Fluttershy and Discord.
“What’s the matter Flutters “Discord asked Fluttershy.
She was cowarding behind her long pink mane like she always did “I...I don’t want to go, what if something like a Timberwolf were to attack us?” She said in her sweat innocence voice.
“Well” Discord said as he somehow appeared below Shy and was now carrying her on his snake like back “If that does happen I’ll protect” He said as he raised a fist into the air and giving off a heroic pose “Okay?”
“...Okay”

‘Damn there coming out the wood work, well technique they are bu-‘A swipe from his right caused him to lose focus , he spun on his stump off a foot and swiped his staff around cracking the leafpelt over its wooden head ‘Still working on the name but for now’.
He stopped flaying himself around and platted his foot and stump onto the ground; he somehow ended up in a clearing, he was surround by the damn things,he counted at least 50. The problem was that he was still dripping blood from his previous injuries and these things weren’t making things any easier; he didn’t even know how much damage was done to his torso but he carried on nonetheless, he brought his staff out towards him placing it in front of him, he tightened his grip around the handle and was prepared for them.
They were also prepared they managed to surround him in a circle and completed trapped. They were growling and dripping green saliva all over the ground, they were placing their paws in front of one another inching ever closer to their target, they were about to pounce onto the creature but a bright flash accrued causing them to revert their eyes, when the light died down and they turned back to the centre he was gone and only a pile of his blood remain.

Chapter 2. Saying welcome
Chapter 2. Saying welcome is hard...
*Well it appears that our hero had some help escaping from those... whatever he called them; however because of that it appears we have lost him once again... But luckily for you lot I can follow teleporters, so let find out where he got to*
The scenery change rapidly from the clearing surrounded by the jungle and the Timberwolves to something a bit cosier, the vast clearing was replaced by chairs, tables and a couch, the jungle vanished and was instead replaced by 4 wooden walls each of them either having a door, window, shelves or a bookcase; a large mirror occupied one of the corners. The middle of the room had a fairly large wooden oak table in the centre which held all sorts of junk which you would usually find laying about, the chairs and the couch where placed around it but the couch was for something reason turned away from the table, the reason being is because the couch now had Sol occupying it.
But he wasn’t the only one in the room right now which he is about to find out. *This is going to be good*
Sol shifted his closed eyes under their eyelids “Look he’s waking up” Came a soft voice from somewhere.
“Good then we can ask him himself then, Discord” Came another voice roughly in the same direction.
Sol slowly opened his eyes letting them slowly take in the new surrounding and using his ears to listen to the strange voices, he sniffled with nose taking in the new smells which hung in the air ‘Odd, I can’t smell any blood’. When he fully opened his eyes he realised he was surrounded by colourful ponies and a very strange looking serpent ‘properly some kinds of pets’ he told himself. He decided to lift himself up so that he could get a more accurate sense of his surrounding.
He guest he was in some sort of room judging from the chairs and table ‘A living room’ He thought, he then proceeded to actually find out what he was lying on and spotted that a couch was what was holding him of the ground, he looked to his lower half to see that a blanket had been placed over him to keep him warm, he then directed his attention to the rest of the room trying to figure out where he was.
A few seconds passed as he was analysing the room making sure nothing would be a threat until a voice broke his concentration. “Accuse me but who and what are you” Came a feminine from behind him.
Sol snapped is neck to where the voice came from but he only saw the colourful ponies plus one serpent that were all staring at him with very confused expressions.
“Can you understand me?”
Sol looked down to the purple pony which was the closest to him and then that when it hit him; ‘I can’t believe those twigs killed me’ was the only thought racing though his head at this moment in time. It then hit him a second time that he hadn’t replied to this creature. “Yes, I can understand you”
S
ol then thought to himself that talking wasn’t such an idea because now the purple one has a very interesting shine in her eyes as she plasters a very big smile upon her face, the serpent has roughly the same look but in a more insane way, the blue and orange ones are raising eyebrows at me and the yellow one is for some reason cowering in the closet corner, the white one has a shocked expression on her face and the last one the pink one is gone somehow.
“So if you can talk and you can understand us that means we can be friends considering I have never meet you before that means you’re new to Ponyville because I know everypony in Ponyville but if your new then that means you don’t have any friends and if you don’t have any friends that means you’ll get sad because you will have nopony to talk or play with and if that happens you’ll be all grouchy and turn into a big meanie pants but luckily I’m here to make sure that doesn’t happen so do you want to be friends?”
Sol turned to his head to the right to see that the pink one had somehow ended behind the couch and that she had somehow said all off that within the time it took him to figure out where she was.
“Oh yeah by the way my name is Pinkie Pie but all my friends just call me Pinkie you can call me that as well considering were friends now and by the way what’s your name?”
Sol gave a very confused look as his brain still tried to process the information so he decided to work backwards.
“Hi, my name is Sol not at your service” He stretched out the hand that was still working and held it out to Pinkie, she took it with her own hoof and they both shook, it was then that Sol realised he was missing his middle finger ‘Oh yeah that knight chopped it off’.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you Sol” This time it came from behind him, he turned to see once again that the purple one was talking. “My name is Twilight Sparkle the faithful student of Princess Celestia” She gave a bow while extending one of her hoofs to the right. “And these are my best friends ever” She pointed to the others which were all behind her including Pinkie Pie now.
“This is AJ short for Apple Jack”
“It’s nice to meet ya’ll” She said with some sort of accent he couldn’t quite place, they to both such hand and hoof.
“And am Rainbow dash the fastest flyer in all of Equestria” Said the blue one which was hovering in the air.
“And am Rarity the best dressmaker ever to live in Equestria” Came the white one as she flicked her hair back in a romantic style.
“And what about you then?” Sol asked the yellow one cowering in the corner.
“Sorry about her she’s kind of shy. FultterShy say hello” Said Twilight “He isn’t going to bite you. You won’t will you?”
“Depends if am hungry or not and whether or not you taste good” Sol replied with a very twisted smile on his face.
“Hey don’t scare her like that!” It was the blue one, Rainbow Dash which reacted first.
“And what are you going to do about it?” Sol questioned “Are you going to fight me” And with that Sol yanked his blanket of and stood up and meet Rainbow’s glare. “You can fight me after I’ve fixed myself up” Sol walked away and towards the mirror in the corner he spotted out eairler. The ponies merely gave each other’s confused looks and followed him over to the mirror.
He stood in front of the mirror glaring at himself accessing his injuries until he spoke up “By the way you haven’t given me your name yet?” Pointing towards the serpent which was leaning against one of the walls.
“Oh am terrible sorry about that. My name is Discord ruler of chaos” He said while giving a bow like that of Twilight did earlier.
“Um, a chaos soul, I though your aura looked familiar”
“Aura...?” Twilight asked.
“I’ll explain later but for now I need to fix my body”
Sol lifted up his shirt off took it from his head and flung it to the side. What was underneath the shirt shocked the ponies but Sol merely just carried on. He had very large gashes running the entire length of his torso some still dripping blood, there were multiple holes all over his body which was caused by none other than bullets Sol stuck his finger in one of them and pulled out the said bullet he just merely flicked over to be were his shirt was.
“A-are you okay?” Came a soft voice, Sol looked to his side to see FultterShy standing next to him with a worried look across her face.
“Yeah am okay but do you have any sugar that would help a lot?”
“Yeah I think I have some wait here” She took off though the arch which Sol guessed was the kitchen.
“Might I asked what are you doing” Asked Twilight.
“Am fixing my body like I said and in order to do that I need energy, sugar is a great source of energy. And I also need to know what needs to be fixed so it might get quite gory very quickly”
“Here you go” Said Flutter Shy coming from the kitchen with a handful of sugar bags in her hoofs.
“Ah that’s perfect thank you, just put them there I’ll need them in a moment”
And after saying that Sol dunged his rough nails into the side of his chest, he worked from the left and peeled of his skin revealing his organs, he merely just tossed his skin to the side and looked at himself in the mirror once more.
By this point Flutter Shy and Rarity have passed out, Pinkie is puking into a paper bag she got from somewhere, AppleJack and Rainbow Dash are trying to act tough but it’s not working out well for them and Twilight is trying to hold back some vomit and Discord has somehow vanished.
“What’s the matter, it’s like you haven’t seen internal organs before” Sol said sarcastically.
“
That’s because none of us ha-“ Rainbow’s sentence was cut short by some vomit wanting to escape her body but she held it down.
Sol just ignored her and carried on what he was doing, he noticed that only one of his three hearts was doing any pumping one was missing and the other had half a dagger in it, his intestines were served in multiple places and his stomach had a hole in it.
“Um not as bad as I thought it would be” Sol told himself.
“How bad did you think it would be?” Twilight asked managing to hold back the vomit for now.
“I thought I would find spears in here as well” Sol replied.
Sol reached down and grabbed one of the bags of sugar from the floor, he emptied into his mouth and threw the bag away, he was directing where the sugar was going with his right hand and forced in to his left arm. He began twitching his left’s hand fingers and within seconds he managed to move his entire arm, he gave it a few satisfying cracks until he picked up two more bags of sugar and he did the same thing but he guided it to his hearts, the missing one grew back and the damaged one popped the dagger out of it; all three of them were pumping in no time.
“You have three hearts?” Twilight asked again.
“Yes, my species’ only need a digestive system and something which pumps blood around our bodies”
“By the way I’ve been meaning to ask, what are you?”
“What I look like and what I am are two very different things. I look like what is known as a human a stranded form of two arms, legs and a head along with a torso, but what I am is for a different time for now I have to get my stomach back”
He picked up the last bag and did the same thing as before, the hole in his stomach grew back and was filled with the soft mussel, Sol gave a worried expression because his intestines still needed to regenerate and there was no more sugar ‘they can grow back over time’ he told himself. He went over to where his torso was and he placed in over his chest, the skin sowed itself back together and he had a torso again, the large cuts which where there before were also gone. He looked down even further and saw that his stump of a foot was also growing back, the skeleton emerged first followed by the mussel and soon by veins which stretched a crossed the mussel, his skin finally emerged and covered it completely. But most improtantly his middle finger on his right hand grew back the same way his foot did 'That's good now I can flick people of again'
“There, good as new” Sol said pointing to his foot; the other was also doing the same thing with the hole it had as well.
By the end of it Sol had a fully repaired body which look like nothing had happen, his hair began growing until he had short black hair a top of his head, his eyes went a dark shade of brown and his skin absorbed all the access blood and left a very lightest brown colour behind which was his skin colour, and a pair torn crisom red shorts which where covering up most of his bottom half
“So, what now?”
Chapter 3. Where is it? My blade...
“Come on wake up” Twilight was holding Rarity’s head in one hoof while gently slapping her with the other.
Rainbow was doing the same thing with Flutter Shy over in the corner of the room while Applejack was patting pinkie on the back as she was trying to remove her mouth of the vomit which occupied it.
“Easy there Pinkie its okay now” Applejack reassured Pinkie as she barfed into her sixth bag “There there”
Flutter Shy was the first to wake up from her traumatizing experience as she quietly stirred in rainbow’s hooves, she opened her eyes to see Rainbow above her wearing a warm smile which said everything is going to be okay.
“Um, am still missing my tail and a couple of teeth” Sol said out loud as he was still admiring himself in the mirror as he was poking his fingers in his mouth searching for his teeth “I don’t know why but teeth are always hard to grow back, even though they are just bone it takes ages for them to grow back”
“Can you please stop staring at yourself and help us” Twilight said still worried about Rarity.
“Fine wait here” Sol replied as he walked off to the kitchen, a few moments passed and he returned with a mouth full of something, the others gave him a puzzled look but before they could say anything he leaned over the sleeping Rarity and spat out quite a bit of water which of cause Rarity to snap over her eyes and shoot up from her lying position.
“AAAAAHHHHH, MY MANE IT’S RUINED!” She shouted franticly.
“You’re welcome sleeping beauty” Sol said as he gave a bow towards Rarity.
“HOW DARE YOU RUIN MY MANE!?”
“Oh please, if you ask me it’s an improvement”
Rarity just stood there in disbelief as to what this creature has just said before her the room went deathly silent only to be broken by Rainbow’s snickering which was quickly silence by a death glare from Rarity.
“Anyhow” Twilight spoke up “Why don’t you tell us how you got here Sol?”
“I thought you could elaborate on that considering I was walking though a field of red and suddenly I found myself in a forest needing to fight those... those”
“Timberwolves” Flutter Shy interjected.
“Is that what you call them? Better than the names I came up for them, but yeah I found myself fighting against those Timberwolves”
“Wait, you took them all on by yourself” Twilight asked.
“Well not just by myself, I also had my trusty blade with me” As he said that he reached for his left side only to realise whatever he was reaching for wasn’t there “Where is it? Where’s my blade?” Sol was panicking franticly searching around the room looking for his blade, he went to the couch and lifted and flung the cushions around the room, he then proceeded to lift the couch up and searched underneath it to no avail, he placed the couch down and turned to the others “Where it is? My blade”
“What blade?” Twilight asked wearing just as a confused look as the others did.
“You saw me fight of the wolves that mean you saw me wield something right”They nodded“Yes that was my blade” But then he stared of into the distance when he realised something “My staff, the really long stick that I had. Not this one” He the pointed to the space in between his legs and the others figured out what he meant relatively quickly and they all went red and turned their gaze while Applejack merely just hid under her hat.
“Really you get embarrassed by things like that?”
“No we haven’t seen you’re... you’re blade” Applejack said trying to avoid the current topic.
“Great” Sol said plopping himself on the couch in defeat “That means am going to have to go without it for a while” He rubbed his temples with his hands trying to ease the pain building up until his eyes went wide with shock. “Shit. Nonononono please no not now, why now?” He jumped of the couch and raced over to the nearest window only to jump out of it.
The others left inside the building merely gave each other worried looks and raced out as well, but they decided to use the door rather than jumping out of a broken window. When they made it outside they could only see the broken window and no Sol in sight.
“Where did he go?” Rainbow asked trying to spot him in the distance.
“He’s up here!” Sol shouted from atop of the cottage.
“What are you doing up there?” Twilight asked.
”Trying to spot any smoke, red aura, wield clouds or hear any scream”
“Why are you looking for those things?” Pinkie asked appearing behind Sol.
“Because” Sol answered turning around to face the pink pony “Am missing two of my personalities my Insanity and my Wrath, those two love to cause trouble so therefore I need to find them or a lot of things are going to die”
Now this time the girls are not grossed out but very sacred right now and it was Twilight which took the role of leader “Well then we have to stop them” Twilight commanded not bothering with the why’s or how’s.
“Well that what I am trying to do” Sol said jumping off the roof in order to talk to them face to face “My Wrath is going to be drawn to the strongest creature so he can fight them. My Insanity wants to cause chaos so he will be drawn towards large populations and because they can’t go out of eye sight with each other am guessing there going over there” Sol finished pointing towards one of the mountains, but he wasn’t pointing at that but rather the massive kingdom built into the side of it.
The kingdom from this distance was incredible white and shone with a glorious glow, tall spirals could be made out from a distance and when the girls finally saw what he was pointing at they all grow terrified and a single sentence came out of all of there mouths.
“THERE GOING TO CANTERLOT!”
