Ch.1 The Forest

   The first thing the man heard was the peaceful chirping of birds. He did not know who he was, his history, his basic information all he knew that he was on what felt like dirt with patches of grass. He opened his eyes slowly not knowing what to find. Blinding light hit him as it took a while for his eyes to adjust to the light. As soon as his eyes adjusted he found himself looking up out of a clearing of trees to a perfectly blue sky with the occasional cloud. His entire body was sore and it felt like a jackhammer was in his head. He slowly and somewhat painfully sat up to see his surroundings.

   He found himself on the ground in what looked liked a forest with the sounds of birds an some sort of unrecognizable animals. To his right was a camo backpack that looked liked it had seen better days. He reached for it and opened it up to see what he had. The pack contained 2 MRE's, A Combat Knife with a belt seath, A Canteen, Flint And Steel, And A Compass that was spinning wildly. The front pocket contained a standard 9mm Handgun with a full clip along with a belt seath. The side pockets had energy bars and 3 more clips. He put the knife seath on his belf and sliped the knife in. He put on the pack and attached the handgun seath on his belt and put it in. For some reason he knew how the safety works, how to reaload it, clean it, ect. .

    He stood up and walked over to a small hill and looked for a tall hill or cliff so he could get a sense of his surroundings. Out approximately a hour away slightly above the tree line a mountain that seemed to be cut in half. He marked that as where he needed to go. He heard the banging of sticks and logs behind him only to turn and see nothin but some sticks on the ground. He ignored it and walked in the direction of the strange mountain. His headache had gone away but had consumed and energy bar to suppres his hunger. As he walked he attempted to remember who he was. As soon as he tried his vision darkened and unbearable pain in his head came. As soon as he stoped trying everything went back to normal. He would go see a doctor or someone to help, that is I he finds civilization.

   As he walked he had time to realize how strange the world looked. The trees were bright colored compared to what he remembers as trees. Same with the occasional squirrel and bird all brightly colored. Then he heard it again the sound of sticks hitting logs just to see nothing again. He needed to get to the mountain that was now about 20 minutes away. Once he got up there he could get a view of his surroundings and find civilization.

    He made it to the base of the mountain. It was not very steep only with the occasional spike up. He looked up and planned a route up. As soon as he was done he heard the sound of the sticks and logs and turned around to be faced with about 3 strange creatures that looked like a wolf but made out of vines and wood. One lunged at him and he instinctively rose the handgun and fired a shot. He shot an the bullet went straight through  the eye and it fell limp to the ground. He backed away as it slowly rose up again and growled. He raised his arm for another shot only to feel the pain of a set of sharp wooden teeth tear into his arm.He sliped the Combat knife out and stabed it in the chest once as it let go of its grip to back away. The knife slid out of the chest and he looked at his now bleeding arm. Aside from the bite wounds it left multiple splinters lodged in his arm.

   At this point he had no choice but run up the mountain. He did not dare look back he only ran. The mountain got steeper and had to start climbing. He looked down to see the creatures to see that they have chased after him and are climbing after him. He made it to the less steep part of the top of the mountain and began to run to the edge. Once he got to the edge he was presented one of the most amazing sights.

   In the distance was what looked like a 18th century town and a massive castle city seemingly hanging of another mountain basacly defying gravity. He returned to the situation and looked back. The creatures caught up to him and were preparing for the kill. He looked over the cliff to find a 3 story drop into what looked like a lake. He had to think fast, jump into possibly shallow water or fight off the very lethal Log Wolfs. He didn't have time to answer as one lunged at him and pushed him off. He fell straight into the water and immediately felt immense pain in his knee as it hit a rock underwater possibly breaking it. He attempted to swim to shore trying not to pass out from the cold water and the immense pain. He eventually hit shore and closed his eyes. The pain in his knee was unbearable and was on the verge of passing out. He heard something rustling in a nearby bush and the sound of tiny feet hop to him. He felt a slight push on his arm and the sound of a quiet kind voice nearby

"Angel where are you what did you fi...Oh my...Angel, get the others it's hurt.." The voice said with a shocked and terrified tone

                 He was picked up by what felt like furry paws and arms. He attempted to had enough strength left to barely open one eye to see who had saved him. What  he saw was a face with two beautiful blue eyes and very long pink hair and...yellow fur... He attempted to process the strangeness and the utter beauty of what he saw. He tried but finally passed out in the arms of whatever was carrying him.

Shortly after his arrival

"Tia!" Luna exclaimed as she barged into her room without knocking

She probably should've knocked because Princess Celestia was in the middle of reliving stress.

"Oh Faust....oh..LUNA" she screamed in surprise quickly slipping the toy out of her marehood

"Oh sorry did walk in on the wrong time?"

"Next time knock or Faust help me..."

Luna just chuckled and got back on subject

"Tia it has come" Luna said with a slight frown

"B-but I wasn't supposed to come for another 20 years!"

"I thought so too we need to capture and contain it before anyone gets hurt"

"I agree lets go find it and make sure it doesn't hurt anyone"

They both walked out to the balcony and took off to look for whatever they were looking for.

                                              Current time

   He woke up on a very comfortable bed that was barely to small for him with his feet dangling off the edge. He was in a room that seed to be made entirely of wood. There was what looked liked a handmade couch and chair with a bookcase. He lifted the sheets to see what he was wearing. He was wearing a very riped shirt and some jeans that had one to many holes in it. He rolled up his pant leg to see his knee. The knee wasn't broken to his surprise but it had a massive bruise that hurt slightly if he moved it. He didn't notice that there was what looked like a small horse with big blue eyes with pink hair and a pink tail that seemd to be very well kept.

"Oh your awake" The horse said with a quiet voice

" your knee is fine just got very bruised and for your arm I needed to pick the splinters out and put a bandage on it"

He immediately looked at his arm and it was bandaged very nicely.

"Before we get anywhere I'm fluttershy...so what's your name"

He attempted to remember but his vision darkened and he got the same symptoms as last time. He thought up of a name that he thought would be nice until he can figure out his real one

"J-j-just.." He said in a quiet tone

"Mhmm"

"Call me...Roland"

Ch.2 The Attack

Ch.2 The Attack

   "Ok Roland pleasure to meet you I think you haven't met angel yet, come out sweetie" as soon as she said that a tiny bunny came out of her hair and placed himself on the top of her head and gave Roland a hard stare

"Hey little guy how are you?" Roland asked

Angel said nothing but he climbed down fluttershys hair and ran over to Roland's bed. He climbed up the sheets and went next to Roland

"So angel right nice to-OW!" He screamed as angel chomped into his finger

"ANGEL WHAT HAS GOTTEN INTO YOU!" Fluttershy exclaimed right at angel

Angel then started to speak bunny and fluttershy listened

"Mama i got to teach him his place In this house and that's the lowly guest"

"Angel you need to stop doing this every time someone new comes into our house"

"But mama"

"No don't do it again" Fluttershy then went over to angel and extended a wing for him to climb on

"Wow wow, two thing one, you have wings, two you understand the bastard"

"We'll yes I'm a Pegasus and I can understand angel and animals its my special talent after all" she then pointed a hoof at her cutie mark

"What's on the side of your hip, a birthmark?" He said looking at the mark

"No it's my cutie mark it appeared when I realized my special talent was taking care of all little creatures"

"What about LogDogs?"

"A LogDog?"

"Yeah, the things that attacked me they looked like a mix of trees and wolf"

"You mean timber wolves wait they attacked you but they don't attack unless there protecting a mate and mating season is far away very strange" she said rubbing her chin

"We'll they bite hard and can chase prey for a long time is what I realized"

"That discribes them pretty well" fluttershy said as their stomachs rumbled simotaniously

"You hungry too?" Roland asked

"Yes I can prepare a salad while you wash up the bathroom is two doors to the right" she said while walking to the door

"Thank you fluttershy" Roland's said with a smile

Fluttershy looked back

"No problem Roland it's the least I can do" she then walked out the door while angel still on her head flipped Roland off with a smug smile leaving Roland alone

"Fucking rabbit" Roland said annoyingly

   He looked for his pack which was sitting promptly on a wooden chair along with his handgun. He put the handgun in its proper place and put his pack on and headed for the door. The door was 2 inches to small and he had to bend down. The hallway had three doors. His room the rest room and supposedly fluttershys room. He made his way to the rest room and looked around. Everything was made of wood the toilet was a hollowed log with a movable seat. The sink was made entirely of wood with a raincloud in a glass jar with its bottom cut off.

"The hell" he taped the glass and the raincloud started to rain

"Oh that's sweet" he said touching the cold water

He looked up into the mirror to see what he looked like. He was a young man in his early to mid twenties with a well shaved beard that wasn't long but wasn't short either. His hair was tattered and dirty and desperately needed to be cleaned. He took his time cleaning and drying his hair then made his way downstairs. The entire house was basacly a tree with windows. He saw fluttershy sitting on a pillow eating a salad out of a bowl. He walked over and sat down and looked down at his salad. It was a salad that had lettuce, tomatoes, croutons and flakes of white cheese. He used his hand to take a piece of lettuce and began to eat. Neither of them talked while eating until they were done.

"So where are you from" fluttershy asked questionly

"I don't know, when I woke up in the middle of the forest I had a bad case of amnesia I didn't know who I was or what my name was, when you asked me my name Roland popped in first" he explained while fluttershy listened

"Have you tried to think and remember anything"

"That's the thing if I attempt to remember anything my vision goes dark and I get a massive headache" he explained again

"That's very strange I've never heard something like that before maybe we can go to twilights library and she can help, we may need to see rarity about geting you new clothes"

"I'm guessing there your friends if that's the case then that's a good idea I'd be nice to actually go outside an-"

  He was cut off by three timber wolves crashing through multiple windows and one landing on fluttershy. It drooled on her face while growling deeply

"Mr timber wolf why are you att-AHHHHH"she screamed as it bit into her leg.

       Roland took out his handgun and shot it in the head only for it to yelp in pain and let fluttershy go long enough for her to run and lock herself in a closet. He unloaded a full clip into one and realoaded only for it to just yelp. "Fuckers won't die" he said with a sigh. He took out the combat knife and stabed one in the neck this time putting it out for good. One then jumped on him attempting to bit his neck only for him to stab the timber wolf in the neck as well. He got up and looked at the last one. It was significantly bigger than the other two and had no eye. It growled and took a stance. Roland readied his combat knife and took his stance "lets dance motherfucker" it lunged faster than he expected and bit his healing arm. He used his other hand to pull out his handgun and aimed for the neck "nighty-night" he shot four times as it fell limp to the ground. He shot it again for good measure. Fluttershy looked out of the closed and came out

"A-are they dead?" She asked with a very scared tone

"Yes they are are you safe"

"I'm ok my leg though"

Her leg had the bite marks and splinters. He looked into his pack and pulled out a bandage that he apparently missed the first time he looked. He picked out the splinters and bandaged her up "and that should do it"

"Thank you Roland I caint belive they followed your scent al the way here"

"Persistent aren't they"

"We'll thank you nevertheless let's clean up and go into town"

Suddenly Luna and celestia barged in withought saying anything and grabbed Roland in a magical choke hold

"PRINCESS STOP" fluttershy screamed while beginning to cry

"Fluttershy I must kill it I will explain later" Celestia said calmly

"NO I WON'T LET YOU" fluttershy ran to celestia attempting to tackle her only to be grabbed by Luna's magic and be out under a silence spell

  Roland having no idea what's happening attempted to break his hands away from the magical grip. He used up the last of his oxygen and passed out

  Roland was in some infinite plane with another unicorn staring at him. The unicorn had neon blue hair and a grey coat.

"Where the hell am I" Roland asked the pony

"Heaven, the astral plane, the far beyond it goes by many names but lets call it heaven to keep things simple" he replied

"So...am I dead?" He asked with a sad look

"No not you atleast I am Vernon, the original bearer of the element of wrath there's no time to explain all you need to know is that you are now the new bearer your special talent is the ability to materialize any weapons you desire, well not overpowered as fuck weapons like bazookas, miniguns, grenade chain guns, ect"

"I don't get it what's going on how do you know what those weapons are"

"No time to explain" a beam of light shot out of his horn and went to the center of Roland's forehead "Tell celestia that I'm sorry for everything" Roland disappeared in a flash of light leaving Vernon alone once more

Meanwhile Backing Equestria

  Roland's body was engulfed In a bubble of light and Luna Celestia and Fluttershy were sent back. Beams of light came from Roland's eyes. The side of his pants was lowered slightly to reveal the skin glowing then a picture of a shield and two swords crossing appeared on his hip as well as a necklace with the same symbol appearing on his neck. The bubble disappeared with Roland dropping to the ground.

They all looked at him as he slowly looked up

"Vernon says that he is sorry for everything"

Ch.3 The Test

"Vernon says that he...he's sorry...I see..." Celestia said as a tear of joy came out "please give me a minute" she said as she turned away.

"NO, I want to ANSWERS!" Roland said as he stood up slowly while eyeing Luna and celestia

"*sigh* you have permission to ask" Luna said while still holding fluttershy in the silence spell

"Ok question one, what is the element of wrath" Roland asked Luna

"The element of wrath is the lost element of harmony, the elements of harmony consist of six bearers and six elements  that bring harmony to whoever they are used upon the current holders of the elements are as listed Twilight Sparkle bearer of the element of magic, Applejack bearer of the element of honesty, Pinke pie laughter, Rainbowdash loyalty, Rarity generosity and fluttershy here the element of kindnes as dor the elemental artifacts themselves they are six very powerful magical artifacts whos origin have been lost in time and there full potential is unkown" she said while realeasing luttershy from their magical grip and the silence spell

"Ok question two, why did you attempt to kill me" he said as he pulled a nearby chair to sit on

"It's a somewhat long story so be prepared, the first generation of the elements of harmony were held by Dust Storm, Silver Rocket, Hustler, Golen Heart, Crystal Shard, Rainy Day and Vernon. The element of wrath was more of a backup if the elements of harmony were to be inifective against whatever we tried to use it against then one day he just...snapped"

                              Approx 930 Years Ago

It was a massive courtroom with celestia behind a very fancy podium and Luna by her side. Vernon was magacly held by two guards behind a wooden table. It was the near the end of the trial after the jury has given their finding "Vernon you have been called to the court for the major offense of....Murdering the elements of harmony and putting there heads on sticks in the center of pony ville, this court has found you guilty on all charges the punishment death by banishment to the SUN do you have anything to say for yourself before this trial ends and you are given your punishment" celestia announced in her royal voice

     Vernon began to laugh" I regret nothing I did, to be honest I actually enjoyed it...my favorite was Rainy Days, I slowly and painfully sawed off her head while I made her children watch and to top it all off I raped BOTH Of THEM!" He screamed with a massive deranged smile

  Rainy Days husband jumped over the guardrail attempting to choke Vernon "YOU SON OF A BITCH BURN IN TARTUS FOR WHAT YOU DID" he was stopped by two guards "LET ME GO HE'S DESTROYED EVERYTHING I LOVE" he said before giving up and breaking down crying like there's no tommorow

Celestia looked at Vernon "You have said enough your sentence and execution begins NOW"

A beam of light enveloped Vernon as he was slowly raised into a portal to the surface of the sun. Him feeling the pain of his body slowly burning away "CELESTIA, I WILL RETURN AND WHEN I DO I WILL MAKE YOUR SISTER EAT YOUR EYES WHEN YOU SENSE A NEW WRATH BET ITS ME!!"

He screamed his lower legs were now gone. Soon his now dead body's mane caught on fire. Celestia decided to let the body go from her magic grip. The body burned up with the heat of the sun leaving nothing.

"Court dismissed!"

Roland could only listen in horror as well with fluttershy in tears "holy shit..." He said quietly "so you thought I was his reincarnation?"he asked still shocked

Luna nodded "we felt the magical signature of the element of wrath and suspected he had returned-" she was cut of by celestia wiping away tears

"But hearing that he no longer has those intentions means a heavy burden has been lifted" she then walked up to Roland "and now you Roland, we can welcome you as the element of wrath"

"He also did some other things" he interrupted

"Such as"

He moved his pant side down"We'll, this mark appeared on my hip"

She smiled "your cutie mark what is your special talent?" She asked him

He moved back "Vernon apparently gave it to me, he told me what I can do but I haven't tried it" he then looked i his hand and a sword that materialized from the tip to the hilt "sweet now let me try.." The sword dematerialized and a Uzi then materialized "Oh that is fucking cool" he said checking the clip "Maybe" he let the clip fall out only for it to disappear and a new full clip to appear in his free hand. " Oh me likey"

    Celestia just watched in awe "That was Vernon's special talent how remarkable, as for the weapon I  must see if there dangerous give me it real quick"

   He attempted to pass it to celestia only for it to disappear as he tossed it "aw man I was thinking that I could dupe them so I could sell and make a monopoly off them"

  "I wouldn't let you throw our economy out of whack" Luna said with a smile

Celestia wanted to know what those machines actually were "Roland what exactly are they?"

Roland then decided to pull out a 1911 "there called guns but every gun has a specific name, this for instance is a colt 1911 handgun, there are alot of types of guns handguns, rifles, SMGs ect as for what they do they fire lead slugs at a incredibly fast speed basacly punching a hole through anything. The bigger the bullet the hole."

"Hmmm we do have things like that just that there massive and are as big as me we call them cannons, we have not used them in a very long time actually our weapons and combat departments have not been in use due to the era of peace were in" Luna added

"Yes and we ask if we may study them so that-"

"No"

"WHAT" both sisters exclaimed at the same time "WHY"

"Many reasons number one your in a era of peace you said so why start a national arms race an ultimately start a war, two these thing aren't very hoof friendly as you can see" he gestured at the trigger "third from the looks of those guards outside your still rocking it in roman armor so as you said your era in arms is at its early stage it's not safe to jump a couple hundred years forward" he said almost calmly

"Wait guards" Luna said while turning to the door which slammed open

"There is a major situation" one of the guards said

Celestia asked "What? What's wrong"

"Ponyville is under attack by....something" the second guard said "we don't know what we just got the reports"

"Shit, most of the elements are in the crystal empire on business for two days and we can do anything until they come back" celestia said fearfully

"Uhm, we could get Roland to help" fluttershy said

"Roland this is your first test I want you to go into ponyville and deal contain or kill whatever is attacking" celestia said while looking at Roland

Roland then got out a full auto AA-12 shotgun "show me where and I will be happy to be of service"

"Thank you fluttershy you stay here you need to be kept safe" fluttershy noded

    Roland walked outside to be but on a chariot which was very fancy. They then took off in the direction of ponyville on a short chariot ride. They approached the town and roland was expecting ponyville to be the first town he saw before being pushed off that cliff and he was right a 18th century looking town but more colorful than he expected. They landed on the outskirts of town and Roland was told to get to there celestia then gave him his orders "Roland be carefull we have evacuated everpony but whatever attacked is still in there, we have about 30 ponies missing and we expect the worst I give you permission to kill whatever is there good luck" celestia then was caried away leaving Roland to search the town. He had no idea where he was going but he was headed to what looked like the town center. The town was completely empty and looked like a tornado ran through it. Trash cans were triped and diffenet drag marks can be seen on the ground. He arrived at town center which had a fountain and a town hall. Whatever he was looking for he didn't find it but then noticed something to his left and ran to a nearby bush not making a sound.

    He got a side view of whatever it was. It was what looked like a human crouching down. It wearing a completely black robe that covered his body and head with black gloves he was wearing a plauge doctor mask that covered its mouth so it could not be could not be seen. It had a small case filled with needles filled with some liquid. It was next to a dead pony and was jabbing various needles in the body. Roland decided to get out of the bush

"Who are you and what are you doing with that body" he yelled as it said nothing and continued what it was doing

"Uh hello did you hear me" it continued its work

"Seriously fucker answer me" he readied his AA-12

The thing finnaly stood up. It closed the briefcase and put it somewhere in its robe thn turned slowly to Roland.

"I am Roland the element of wrath sent here by princess celestia to contain or kill whatever is responsible for the probable deaths of 30 ponies and the murder of the one you were poking with needles" it just continued to stare at him. The skin around its eyes were colored with black pain.

"I'm guessing you are the...it that did this if so I will contain or kill you, your choice"

It looked back down at the body. The body started to convulse and spasm. The body looked over at Roland and opened its eyes. Only thing is that there were no eyes only soules blackness. It started to scream as it slowly got up and started bleeding from its sockets. What was standing was a pony that had no eyes and no expression on its face with blood coming out of its sockets.

"At this point I know you were the one causing trouble and to top it all off you make zombies so great" he said sarcasticly

   As soon as he said that about 30 ponies walked out of the nearby buildings and some from the bushes. They gathered around the masked thing. They all turned there heads to Roland all having no eyes and bleeding from thier sockets.

"I'm fucked aren't I?" Roland asked the plauge doctor only noded as all the 30 zombies made ear piercing screams and charged at Roland

"Fuck..."
