Fallen star

I had absolutely no idea what had happened. I had no idea where I was, who I was or what I was. All I knew was I was a clothed bipedal creature that was falling from the sky in a massive ball of flame.

I have no idea how I survived or why, but I did. Crawling out of the crater I found myself to be inside of a large stone room. Towards the centre of the room was a stone alter with ,what used to be, five pillars.The forward two had collapsed due to my explosive arrival. "Wow." I muttered to myself. "That was a pretty Big Bang."

Upon closer examination I saw that the impact had knocked five spherical rocks to the ground. Looking at them I could see they each bore a different symbol. I said them out loud as I looked at them. "Apple,butterfly,diamond,balloon and a lightning bolt."Just then the two oak doors slammed open causing me to drop behind the alter, just out the sight of the new person.

"Woah!" Exclaimed one of the voices."Look at that!" Peering over the edge of the alter I could see six creatures. The one that had spoken was a rainbow maned pegasus with a cyan coat.

"I know Dashie! I bet it was that evil nightmare moon!" Exclaimed a pink one who seemed full of energy.

"I don't think so pinkie." Said a purple unicorn. Using her telekinetic grip she levitated a small black rectangular object."look at this."

If I strained my eyes enough I could just make out the symbol of an bitten apple. Why did it look familiar.

"Hey look over there." said an orange one. I froze in place fearing I may of been spotted.

"Nice work applejack." Said the lavender unicorn. "I think those might be the elements of harmony.

"Ok girls lets give twi some space."Said applejack aproaching the doors,soon followed by the others.

The five others left the room leaving me and the unicorn. I stood up to introduce myself but was interrupted by a stream of purple mist which vanished the so called twi.Out side I heard five voices shout. "TWILIGHT!" The five stampeded off towards the glowing tower on the left.

 I waited a few seconds to make sure nothing reentered the room.

After I was sure I was alone I ran to retrieve the small object.In small writing underneath the apple it said iPhone. On the front was a small button. "I wonder what it does."

Pressing it the screen lit up for a few seconds before dying."That's weird." Pressing it again nothing happened. "Oh well I'll keep it." I said as I put it in my pocket,not seeing a pair of navy blue eyes look out at me.I jumped as I heard a scream.Turning around I saw the same mist from earlier. It connected with my body knocking me backwards. The last thing I saw before blacking out was the rising sun.

                                     ----------------------------------

I jumped awake. I didn't know why but I felt strong. A lot stronger then last night. I must of been out for awhile because the moon was back up in the sky. "Well what to do what to do." Choosing a direction I headed out of the castle into the forest. I had been walking for nearly two hours now and had yet to take a break. I could clearly see the edge of the forest and was about to leave when heard a growl. Stopping I turned around. Looking out from the darkness at me were 20 pairs of glowing green eyes. "Uh oh." The first leapt at me. Dodging it I bolted off towards the village I saw in the distance. I had no idea I could run so fast but no matter how much speed I gained the creatures kept catching up.

I turned to face my pursues only for my eyes to widen in shock. The creatures chasing me looked like giant wolves made of wood. Turning around however caused me to lose quiet a bit of speed and the giant wolf pounced on me pining my arms and legs to the ground.It was about to bite when I heard a voice in my head. "Rip it's throat out!" Pushing my head forward I latched on to its neck. I pulled pack with all my strength. The chunk of wood came out in my mouth and I was showered in what felt like tree sap.

I pushed the now dead monster off of me. Looking at the other members of the pack I roared. "All right! Who's next?" A majority of the pack ran back to the forest leaving me facing two battle scared wolves. I could only chuckle as they jumped at me. Rolling out the way the two wolves smashed into one another. This only seemed to piss them off. One of them charged at me. Against my will my right hand rose and shot forward coated in navy blue light. It connected with an explosion.Between the momentum of the wolf's jump and the force of my punch, the wolfs body imploded spraying me with splinters and tree sap. Taking the hint the second wolf turned tail and ran. "And stay out!" I shouted in a stupor. My legs gave out and I fell to the ground passing out.

                                                -----------------------------------

"Ow." I moaned as I sat up. Opening my eyes i saw that I was in some kind of room. Despite it being pitch black I could see my body clear as day. "Greetings young one." I jumped around to face the voice only to find nothing there."Hello?" I asked, my eyes shifting. I was replied with a dark chuckle.

"Soon young one, this world shall fall." The voice chuckled slightly. "And when it does, it will be by your hand!" The voice had stopped chuckling  and was laughing maniacally. "Who are you?" I asked the unmoving darkness.

"I, am nightmare moon, And you are equestria's destroyer!" The voice and laughter echoed out into the dark leaving me to awaken.

A living nightmare and discovering powers

I groaned as My eyes opened. thankfully it was night this time. 'Huh.' I thought. 'I'm really making a habit of this passing out thing.' "You can say that again.'I jumped at hearing the voice. Swishing my head about to find the source I discovered just how much pain you can be in after running straight into a brick wall. "Oww." I groaned.

'HEY!' The voice shouted. 'Be careful. this is my body too ya know.'

'Hello?' I asked, feeling stupid that I said hello to an imaginary voice.

"I'll have you know i'm not imaginary." looking to my left I saw a navy blue creature with slitted blue eyes."See, completely not imaginary," She said the last part so quietly that I had to lean in to hear it."Just that only you can see me." I rolled my eyes.

"So if you're not imaginary," I stopped to make sure no one was looking at me. "How is it only me that can see you?"

"It's obvious isn't it?" She said it like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Errm...No. It's really not." I said shakeing my head

"Oh. I thought it was." Her voice had an air of innocence to it that,while quite cute, did not suit her in the slightest.

                                                                                  -------------------------

Princess Celestia was bored. But not just any bored, this was the kind of bored that made you feel so tired you wanted to puke. 'This is all that Damed creatures fault.' The door opened with a bang and Celestia jumped up. "Ahh, doctor Tenderheart, what can i do for you?" The princess asked the red stallion.

"It's the creature."  he said panting for breath due to running across the palace.

The princess leaned forward. "What about it?"

"Its awake." said Tenderheart with newly found breath. "But..."  The doctor trailed off.

"But what Doctor." She snapped. She was losing her patience.

"Calm down." The doctor said angrily. He shoved his hoof in his mouth at realising he had just shouted at the princess.

"Fine. I'll go see it for myself." The door slammed shut.

                                                                       ------------------------------

Nightmare had spent the last twenty-odd minutes explaining why it was only me that could see her. It turns out that purple cloud that had hit me was actually her smoke form. When it collided with me our souls merged. She had also explained my extra strength,speed and agility was her abilities joining with mine.

My head flicked up towards the doors as they opened. "YOU!" shouted the strange white pony in front of me. "You have caused me nothing but problems from the moment you smashed into my castle!" The pony was now pushing her face against mine and I could feel the rage flowing off of her.

"Er...What did I do?" I asked her. "And who are you?"

"Oh how rude of me." She said as if she hadn't just come barging into a room seething with anger. "I am Princess Celestia, the eldest of the two royal pony sisters."

"That means absolutely nothing to me." I said looking her straight in the eye.

"Oh right, your not from around here are you." Said the princess shaking her head

"Well, I did drop from the sky so i guess not."

Suddenly agonising pain racked my body and I fell into darkness.

                                                                          --------------------------

My eyes opened into the dark dreamscape from before.

"So then, now that I have control of this body, Your going to see how alicorns fight."

"What do you mean?" I asked only to be responded with silence

                                                                         ---------------------------

(Nightmare's POV)

"Hello Again sister. I said turning this bodies now blue slitted eyes towards her.

"Nightmare." Celestia breathed.

"Correct, now I will finally finish you off."

Jumping over her head I used an attack that hadn't been heard of since before Celestia's reign began.

Extending a Battle mage circle from my hand. With a beam of magical energy from the circle I ripped through the floor,and every floor beneath.

The smoke cleared with no sign of the solar goddess.

My smirk faulted as her normally regal voice spoke from behind me.

"Now, my turn."

Running around at the speed of sound

I opened my eyes quickly forcing them shut due to the sunlight.

"Ow." I murmured. I opened them again more slowly so as not to burn my eyes.

"-ll I just don't know what else to do rainbow." I heard a voice say from outside the door.

"Well you could write to the princess and have her sort it out." I forced my eyes shut as the door opened.

"What makes you think the princess needs to worry about an animal from the everfree?" Said Twilight.

"Well number one, this is a brand new never before seen creature." Said Rainbow Dash. "Number two, it is strong enough too cause a full grown timber wolf too implode."

"Also it must be intelligent." Said a small voice from the corner.

Rainbow Dash turned to the source of the voice.

"What makes you say that flutters?" She asked.

"Well it can make cloths and I thought I heard it speak."

I smiled. At least one of them knows I'm intelligent.

"Well then," said Twilight with a slightly crazed smile."Let's experiment." My smile dropped.

Twilight closed in on me.

"Oh no you don't!" I shouted, leaping up kicking Twilight in the chin causing her to flip back. This in turn caused Rainbow to come crashing into fluttershy.

Switching directions I jumped out of the window into the street below shredding my skin in the process.

The street was a sight too behold.

Colourful ponies that were walking about, inside what I assumed was a market, stopped to stare at the strange creature that had burst out of the library.

"Um..." I said awkwardly. "Hello?" I waved at them and got a couple of waves back.

"There it is!" I heard rainbow dash shout.

I jumped into overdrive. My sudden gain of speed causing a tremendous boom.

"HOLY MOTHER!" I shouted in shock. My feet flew shredding up the road. Looking behind me I saw a midnight blue streak coming from behind me. A second boom resounded and I saw a rainbow streak quickly closing the gap.

I was running so fast I realised that I could not hear. Which meant I had to be moving faster than the speed of sound. But I could still see Rainbow Dash closing the gap. I pushed more energy into my feet.

"What the..." I never got to finish my sentence because before I knew it a final boom sounded and I smashed into a brick wall. Before passing out I saw a white alicorn stare at me.

"Well well." Said the nightmare. "I never thought he would break the light barrier." She chuckled. "This boy is proving more powerful then I originally expected."
