As two mares entered through the front doors, everypony stopped and rushed over to meet them. Spirit noticed that one was an earth pony and the other was a unicorn, he also noticed the marks on their flanks. By the look of it, they were musicians. They quickly made it to the the receptionist and a conversation started immediately.

"Hello! Welcome to the orphanage!" The receptionist said excitedly. "You two must be the mares who called earlier, right?"

"Yep! Sure are!" The unicorn said. "I'm Vinyl Scratch, and this is my roommate Octavia!"

"We came here to see if there are any fillies or colts we'd like to adopt." Based on their tone, they were complete opposites.

"Oh, are you to together? Well it doesn't really matter. Go and look around, if you find one you like just come back and tell me!" Octavia began to look at the fillies while Vinyl looked over the colts. After 10 minutes of talking with them, they noticed a colt near the back of the room who was reading what appeared to be a book on Equestria's history.

Vinyl yelled "Hey, colt in the back, get over here!" quickly afterwards Octavia hit her, reminding her not to act like that. Spirit was reluctant, but went to meet them.

"What's your name?" Vinyl asked.

"My name is Brawny Spirit." Octavia's eyes went wide upon hearing this.

"You are that colt that just woke up from a coma two weeks ago! It is wonderful to meet you!" Octavia had a kind, gentle smile and held her hoof out so they could shake. Spirit was happy to see somepony who was so kind towards him.

"Nice to meet you to!" They shook and had a conversation that felt like it was an interview. They asked questions back and forth for ten minutes. They even talked about crimes being committed lately. Vinyl was waiting for them to finish talking while she was bored out of her mind. As they finished Octavia knew which pony she would adopt.

"Did you find a pony that you want?" The receptionist asked.

"Yes. I would like the colt Brawny Spirit." The receptionist was surprised by the news.

"Really? You want him? He is an odd colt..."

"Yes, I would like him please. He is very nice and I don't see how he is odd. May I fill out the papers?" Octavia waved to Vinyl as the receptionist fetched the papers.

I should continue studying. Spirit thought. At least nopony will bother me.

"Brawny Spirit," The receptionist said. "these mares have just filled out the papers. Go get your books because you've been adopted!" Spirit was surprised to hear this, but none the less he gathered his books. He groaned as he clumsily packed everything up into a saddlebag given to him by the orphanage. As they arrived home, Vinyl showed Spirit around the house. It wasn't to different compared to the house he had when he was in his coma, So he didn't have much trouble remembering where everything was. Spirit settled in while Octavia and Vinyl spoke with each other. Spirit had dropped all of his books on the floor and plopped onto the bed. He could hear the mares debating on something, it sounded like the subject was food.

"Spirit, would you mind helping me get groceries? Its been a while so there is a lot to get and I would like to just get it all done tonight." Octavia called.

"Sure, I'll help." He leaped out of what is now his room and they were off the the market. The market wasn't too far from the house, they arrived quickly. It was a small place, but it seemed like business was booming. It was hard to navigate due to all of the commotion. Octavia had gathered apples, oranges, and watermelons. Much to Spirit's surprise, Octavia seemed to be carrying it all with no problem. It was like she was carrying a feather. Spirit saw that they were nearing the exit, so he started up a conversation.

"Hey, Octavia."

"Yes?"

"Can you tell me what you and Vinyl are like? If I'm staying with you two, I may as well know who you two are."

"Vinyl is a DJ and she is very popular, even ponies who don't like her music give her great res-" She was cut off by a unicorn grabbing her from behind. Spirit turned to see seven ponies all masked and armed with clubs, only to struck down by Octavia's captor who was the only one with a knife.

"Everypony, get down now and none of you get hurt!" One of them shouted. They all advanced forward and the only earth pony of the group picked up Spirit as his captive. The five other criminal ponies began to take everypony's bits. Once one of them protested, they were beaten until they gave it all up.

"I'm ain't giving ya anything." Spirit glanced over to see Big Macintosh, who was standing up to the criminal.

"Oh, so you won't give me anything?" He began to beat Big Mac, soon four others joined in. Big Mac just stood there and took all of the punishment, he seemed to not mind it at all.

"That is enough!" Octavia's captor shouted. "If you don't give us you're bits, then this mare dies!" As he said it he pressed the knife against Octavia's throat. A small drop of blood came rolling down her neck. Spirit stared, seeing the blood drip. He felt his deepest desire raging from within him, begging to be released.

That desire was to murder everypony.

Memories from his coma surfaced and took hold of his mind. He had always blocked it out, the moments where the desire grew to the point where he couldn't suppress it. He began to snarl. Spirit's captor held on to him, trying to keep him from moving. His eyes turned a combination of red and green while emitting a deep purple haze. His teeth grew sharp and his coat felt like needles. Everypony stared as he transformed from nice young colt, to a terrifying monster. The pony holding onto Spirit let go and began to run away.

"Where do you think you're going!?" Spirit screeched as he sped towards the earth pony at breakneck speeds. He stopped in front of his prey, and his prey stopped in front of him. Spirit paused to see the fear in his eyes. He raised a hoof and slammed it on the earth pony's head. The pony's head shattered, sending a sickening crack through the air along with a large blood splatter. All of the ponies gasped and screamed in horror as they saw not only a pony get completely destroyed, but the colt smiling as the blood had caked his body. Spirit turned to face the other ponies and took them out just as quickly. Octavia and Big Mac, oddly, stayed quite calm over the whole situation. They were just watching Spirit rip and tear the criminals apart as if they were wet paper.

"Get away from me!" A criminal pegasus screamed. Spirit didn't stop. He tore his wings of and broke his neck. Spirit slowly turned to the last remaining criminal, Octavia's captor. He moved even faster then before and popped up behind him.

"Peak-a-boo!!" Spirit screeched as he ripped of his horn. The pony managed to throw his knife at him, but the purple haze morphed into a shield and blocked it. Spirit was standing over the trembling criminal as he cried for mercy. Suddenly, the purple haze began to surround them and formed a sphere. The last thing heard from the criminal was a deafening scream before they were consumed by the haze. Just as the police arrived, the sphere disintegrated. Revealing a mummified unicorn missing his horn, eyes, mane, tail, and color. Spirit passed out, as he did his powers faded away.
