Everything was calm in the small town of Ponyville, everypony was going about their normal day. In Sweet Apple Acres, the Cutie Mark Cursaders were in their clubhouse talking about another way to find their cutie marks.

"So, I guess juggling isn't going to work." Scootaloo said as a ball hit her in the head.

"Great, we've done tried everything." Applebloom said looking out a window.

"What do you guys want to try next?" Sweetie Belle asked putting three balls down.

"Um, I think ya'll might wanna take a look at this." Applebloom said.

Both Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle walked over to Applebloom and looked into the sky. The saw something coming down at a fast rate. It came closer and closer, and landed in the field of trees, Applebloom let out a gasp and looked at her friends.

"Are you girl thinkin, what I'm thinkin?" She said with a smile. Both Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo perked up to what their friend was suggesting.

"CUTIEMARK CRUSADERS INVESTIGATORS!" They all shouted as they dashed out of the clubhouse in search of whatever crashed.

The girls were running and took a right and skidded at the sight of something laying unconscious on the dirt ground. They slowly walked closer to it and saw it was wearing a dark grey jacket and blue jeans, they took major notice of the golden colored wings and tail on it back. It appeared to not have any fur on it, the only place it had hair was it's mane.

"What do ya'll reckon that it?" Applebloom said looking over the body.

"What ever it is, it's surely not a stallion. So I'm gonna poke it." Scootaloo said as she walked next to the body with a stick and was about to poke it when Sweetie Belle pulled her back.

"Are you crazy!?" She said yanking the stick out of her hand. "We don't even know what that is."

"Hey, girls." Applebloom said picking up a backpack. "I think this is it's stuff." She said opening it up and taking out its contents. A journal, a drawing book, a pack of colored pencils and pencils.

"Looks like its an drawer." Sweetie said takin the drawing book and opening it up. They all seemed amazed at the pictures they saw, the first was a clear medow with a great design, the second was a pony standing on the edge of a building. The pony looked like the creature and seemed like its apperence was it from the back.

"Wow. Theses are cool!" Scootaloo said flipping through it. They all three froze as they heard a groan and looked behind them to see the creature slowly stand up and hold it's head.

They noticed the appearance of the creature and saw a pair of head phones around it's neck, the front had of the jacket had splatters of black colors all over it. It was obvious that it was male.

The girls seemed to hold their breath as it reached it's feet, the creature let out a breath go. It then look at them and it's eyes widened.

"Um, hi." He said softly.

"MONSTER!" The girls shouted and turned and ran as fast as they could.

"Wait! I'm not a monster." He said with his voice dying down. It let out a sigh and looked at it;s back that has been rummaged through.

He put his stuff back into his bag and put it over his back. He then started to walk out of the massive filed of apple trees, he looked upon the trees and saw a low hanging apple. He thought of reaching for it but decided it would be rude to take whats not his.

"HEY!" A southern voice shouted from behind him.

He turned around slowly to see a girl with fur like the other three girls from before, except she had orange fur. She also seemed really pissed at something.

He stepped back a bit not knowing how this could end out. The girl, or mare in this case, had a rope in her hands and started to twirl it around. The man then turned around and ran as fast as he could, a had gotten a few feet until a rope wrapped around his chest locking his arms to his sides

He was pulled to the ground and pulled to the mare with a rope in her hands, the man saw he from and upside down prospective and she seemed very upset.

"Well, I have no idea what the heck ya are, but I'm gonna find out." She said dragging him the a barn.

Meanwhile at Twilight's library house, place.

"Ok so how does this spell work?" Rainbow Dash asked as she stood still. Twilight looked at her notes and scribbled down a few words.

"If this works, you should turn invisible for a few minutes." Twilight said charging her horn up. Fluttershy was there observing the effects of it, she seemed uneasy about the magic attempt.

Suddenly the door burst open and three fillies quickly ran in, Twilight lost her concentration and shot a beam at a book case causing them all to fall out.

"Girls!" Twilight said walking up to them. "What has gotten into you?"

"Monster...on...the farm...you...got to...get there." Applebloom said breathlessly. Twilight blinked a few times to confirm what they had just said.

"A monster." Fluttershy said as she started to shake.

"Wait," Rainbow Dash said starting to think. "you said the farm, Sweet Apple Acres." She finished putting the pieces together. "If that thing lays a hand on AppleJack!"

Rainbow Dash then quickly flew out of the library and flew as fast as she could to Sweet Apple Acres. Twilight looked back at the three fillies.

"Girls go and get Pinkie and Rarity, then get some rest." They all three gave a nod and ran out to go get the rest of the mane 6.

"Spike!" Twilight called dragging Fluttershy out the door. "Take a note to princess Celestia and clean up the books." She said as Spike came from upstairs with a groan.

--

Back at Sweet Apple Acres.

AppleJack kept a cold stare on the creature that had crashed into her family's farm.

"Are ya goin tah say sumptin or what?" She said crossing her arms. The creature just stared back at her with a blank expression on it's face. Suddenly the barn doors burst open to have a anger looking Rainbow Dash.

"Where is it!? She shouted looking around, she spotted the creature and charged at it. "What did you do to AppleJack!?" She shouted raising a fist.

"Please don't hurt me!" It screamed. "I don't want to even hurt anyone!"

Rainbow Dash's and AppleJack's eyes widen for what the creature had said, and that it could talk. Rainbow Dash slowly put her fist down and looked at the creature.

"Y-you can talk?" Dash asked stepping back a bit. The creature nodded quickly, Twilight then walked in with the rest of the mane 6 and walked next to Rainbow Dash.

"Is this, a human?" Twilight asked in amazement. The creature blinked a few times and tilted it's head. "AppleJack, could you untie it?"

"Um, sure." AppleJack said slowly untying the strange creature. As soon as she untied the last knot she quickly stepped back, the creature rubbed it's arms where the ropes were digging into.

"Ok," It said softly making everyone jump except Twilight. "I'm kinda of a human." It said pointing at it's wings and tail. "Also my name is Leo."

"Interesting, so your saying your a human but with wings and a tail." She said rubbing her chin. "Could you explain?"

"Sorry but, I really don't know why I'm like this." Leo said rubbing his head. "And even if I did, I wouldn't tell someone I don't know."

"You mean 'somepony'." Twilight said tilting her head.

"Um, never been here before." He said letting out a sigh.

"Oh, right." Twilight said with a giggle. "Well, for introductions, my name is Twilight Sparkle."

"Weird name."

"Anyway." Twilight said moving on for her friends to introduce themselves.

"Right," Rainbow Dash said clearing her throat. "Names Rainbow Dash, fastest flyer in Equestria and future Wonderbolt!" She said flying into the air.

"Cool." Leo said with amazement.

"Yeah, I know. Sorry for almost killing you." She said rubbing the back of her neck. "I thought you would have hurt AppleJack."

"It's fine, I completely understand." Leo said with a chuckle.

"Names AppleJack, sorry fer roping yah up. I thought yah were a monster from the scream I heard my sister yell." She said taking her hat off. "Where are they anyway?"

"For now their resting when they came to get Pinkie and me." Rarity responded. "My names Rarity, the most spectacular pony in Equestria."

"It, nice to meet you madam, Rarity." Leo said in the most fanciest voice he could say.

"Oh, a gentalcolt I see." Rarity said with a smile.

Leo blinked a few time suddenly feeling as if something was wrong, he looked over at a pile of hay. He walked over to it and began to dig through it.

"Um, is something wrong Leo?" Twilight asked in confusion. A few seconds later Leo pulled out Pinkie who had somehow disappeared there.

"Yay!" Pinkie said getting out of the pile of hay. "Somepony knew I wanted to play hide and seek." Everyone tilted their heads to what had just happened and Leo just looked at Pinkie.

"Oh, right. I still haven't told you my name." She said with a giggle. "My name is Pinkie Pie, and I'm going to have to throw you a party since your new here!"

"Um, yeah." Leo said feeling really confused. "A party would be fun." Pinkie then started to bounce in place with a huge smile on her face.

There was a gasp Leo heard and looked behind him to see Rainbow Dash pushing a mare forward, she seemed to be hiding behind her hair.

"Um, hi." Leo said softly, hoping that he wouldn't scare her. She kicked her foot around in the dirt and looked at the ground.

"Her name is Fluttershy." Rainbow Dash said bluntly. The mare know as Fluttershy kicked her foot in the dirt some more and finally looked at Leo.

"H-hi." She said shyly, Leo blinked a few times from how cute and shy she was being.

"Sorry for interrupting," Twilight said shocking Leo out of his trance. "but I would like to head back to the liabary and ask you some questions."

"Sure, I'll try and answer them to my best cabilitys." Leo said walking out the barn with Twilight. Everyone had walked out except AppleJack who pulled Rainbow Dash back'

"Dash, we're gonna need tah keep a close eye on that thing." AppleJack said in a hushed tone.

"I know," Dash said with a nod. "Something about him just gives me the creeps."

"Are you two coming!?" Pinkie shouted from out side the barn house.

"Just a second!" Dash called. "If that thing does something to hurt Somepony, we beat him."

"Right." AppleJack said with a smirk. They both then walked out of the barn and walked out of the farm place.

Leo felt something nipping at his tail and he turned his head to see Pinkie acting like a cat with a toy.

"Is there a reason your messing with my tail?" Leo asked.

"It's really fun, it just sways back and fourth." She said watching his tail move.

"Ok," Leo said wrapping his tail around his waist. "but I would like it if you would stop."

"Okie-dokie!" Pinkie said bouncing ahead.

As they were walking they reached the entrance to PonyVille, Leo looked at the sigh and chuckled.

"What's so funny?" Twilight asked.

"'PonyVille'? I'm sorry but that's just a weird name."

"Well, what did you expect?" Rainbow Dash asked seeming annoyed.

"Not much," Leo said with a shrug. "All I'm saying is that it's strange." Dash rolled her eyes at his answer and just kept flying like she always does.

"Leo, if you don't mind me asking." Rarity said pullin on his arm. "What's with those headphones around your neck?"

"Oh these." He said taking them off. "Their a custom design I created and built."

"Well certainly is interesting." Rarity said stunned.

"That reminds me." Leo said digging in his pocket and pulled out a silver device. "Might as well listen to some music on the way." As soon as he pressed a button it short circuited and died.

"So much for that idea." He said putting it back in his pocket.

"You have a P-Pod?" Twilight asked interested.

"I don't know what that is but, it's called a I-Pod." Leo said taking it back out. "I really ticked that I can't even listen to music."

"Vinyl can probably get you a replacement for that one." Pinkie said bouncing around the group.

"Who?" Leo asked confused.

"Vinyl Scratch, DJ Pon-3, one of the best ponies to have a party with." She said taking the device out of his hands.

"Um, sure. I'd like to meet her."

There was a huge gasp they all heard and the sound of someone running to them, suddenly someone hugged Leo from behind and was cheering.

"I knew it! I knew it! I knew it! I knew you were real!" She scream with delight.

"Lyra, can you stop hugging him." Twilight said annoyed. There was a groan from the mare hugging him as she let go of him, Leo looked back to see a mare with a gigantic smile on her face.

"Well, hello." Leo said in shock. Lyra's mouth drop for knowing that it could even talk.

"Oh I have so many questions I have to ask you and I just got to get every little detail about the life of a human and know everything about a human!" She said all in one breath.

"Lyra! Calm down!" Twilight shouted. "We're heading to the liabary to ask him a few questions anyway."

Lyra's face lit up with excitement as she started to giggle with delight. They all eventually started to walk back on course and made it back to Twilight's home.

"This is where you live?" Leo asked looking over the building, he looked over and saw a carriage on the left side of the building. They all gasped as they looked at the carriage and ran into the house, Leo was standing there confused but Twilight pulled him in.

As they entered they saw two tall standing mares who seemed to have both wings and a horn. Everyone bowed in the presence of the princesses, but Leo didn't know who they were and just stand there.

"So this is what the letter was about?" The white one said walking up to him.

"Yes princess," Twilight said standing up. "he was about to tell us about what he is."

"I see, well I can already tell your wondering who we are." She said looking at Leo closer. "I am princess Celetia, ruler of Equestria and the one who brings and lowers the sun." The darker mare walked next to Celestia with a glare at Leo. "This is my sister, Luna, she raises the moon and sets the moon."

"T-that is awesome." Leo said with a shocked expression on his face. Luna tilted her head because she didn't expect the creature to say that.

"Oh, pardon my rudeness," Leo said realizing that they were royalty. "my name is Leo."

"It's a pleasure to meet you Leo." Celeatia said with a warm smile. "If you don't mind, can you please tell us what you are."

"Ok," Leo said with a sigh. "I'll do my best."

Flashback

The life I had was hard, before I became this thing. My parents hated me with a passion, as if I was just some child they didn't want. They even sometimes threw me outside to sleep on the porch.

I had wondered why I had a life like this, my father, had gotten a addiction to drugs and become abusive to me. For that time being I've become used to what I went though with those things. A few years had passed and my mother had passed away, the only sort of emotion I felt was the feeling of relief.

My father seemed to get even worse with his addiction and, he even said that he was going to sell me, just to get his fix. I had no real idea what would happen with that, I had considered running away from him but knew I had no where to go.

One terrible day, my father made me sleep out on the porch, though instead of waking up in the cold morning, I woke up strapped down to a table. I was scared for what was happening to me, I tried to break free, but I couldn't.

I looked over to see a table with tools on them, there was a scalpel with blood on it. A door opened up to have a man in a suit and a fedora covering his face. He walked over to the table with the tools and picked up the scalpel, he then turned towards me.

"I see your awake now," He said taking a sewing kit out. "let's get started with this." He then brought the scalpel to my chest and cut a huge diagonal line down it. I yelled in pain as he did this, blood started to flow out my chest, he let a dark laugh out and got salt out.

He put some of it in his hand and rubbed it into the cut in my chest, I screamed at the salt burned the wound. I held my breath as he stopped and took out a needle, he then started to sew the wound on my chest and laugh a sick twisted laugh.

"Good, you've felt this pain," He said as his voice turned dark and soft. "but you will only feel more of it." With that he punched me in the side of the head, my vision was blurred and I felt pain running through me like the blood flowing through me.

He brought the scalpel back to my chest and made another diagonal line down my chest, making an X onto my chest, he went through the same process by the salt and sewing the wound back up. I closed my eyes tightly and tried top ignore the pain, he just laughed at my attempt to hold the pain back.

"You know, Leo," He said with a twisted smile on his face. "We've been watching you for some time. You've endured some time with hate and pain, you are going to make the most strongest subject out organization with have."

I looked deep into his eyes and saw the face of death staring back into my soul. He let out and dark evil chuckle, one of a sick twisted mad man, he then brought his hand back and struck me in the face, this time it caused me to black out.

--

6 years later

I had been six long painful years since that day, six long agonizing years, they, they had done thing to me that caused my body, to change. Their organization was call the 'Nova Project' from what I've seen here, they abducted people who have other who would just forget them.

They had locked me in a small cell and just as they had always tested on me, it made me stronger. Pain had been becoming less on a problem for me, eventually they noticed my reaction to the last test they put me though and notified their higher officers.

They sent me to some sort of area where I had seen a man being submerged in a fluid, I looked at all of the scientists examining the process, all with some sort of eagerness to see pain. A strange green liquid started to fill the chamber and was quickly rising.

I had though I was going to drown there, but as the water went past my face, I could breath in ti. I looked around the room to see a shocked expression on the scientist's face. One scientist on the control panel hit a button and said loudly. "Sir, subject 164, is not experiencing any pain."

A familiar voice called on the speaker, the voice six years ago, the voice that led me to this hell-hole. "Just give the subject time, his body is just resisting it."

A few minutes had passed and a strange feeling was running through my body, suddenly I felt something shoot out of my back. I fell to my knees and slowly caught my breath, I looked behind me and was filled with complete utter shock. There were a pair of blooded golden wings on my back,

I slowly roused to my feet and looked and the scientist who was at the control panel, he had a smug smirk on his face, he hit a button on the panel and the liquid in the chamber turned to a dark blue color. He then hit another button that must have been the same he pressed earlier.

"Subject 164, has gone through stage one, of transformation, moving to stage two."

"Good, good, make him feel pain."

The blue liquid in the chamber felt heavier that the green, I felt and strange shiver run down my spine as I felt something shoot out the bottom of my spine. I looked back again and saw a blooded golden tail sawing in the water, I gave a death glare, at the scientist on the control panel who now had a twisted smile as the last man I saw had.

"Subject 164, has passed through stage two, moving to stage three."

I couldn't take this anymore, I moved to the glass wall and banged on the glass. I hit more and more until it started to break, the scientist stepped back from the glass and looked at the one on the control panel.

"Um, sir, Subject 164 is trying to break free from the chamber!"

"Do what ever it takes to stop him!" The voice of the speaker called. "He must go through all three stages!"

"Yes sir!"

I didn't know what I was doing but knew I was going to put an end to this, I kept banging on the glass, the dark blue liquid the turned into a blood red color. The more I banged on the glass the more, I felt weaker. I slowly fell to my knees but kept my struggle for freedom but, my vision was turning black. I hung my head and looked at my hand, when I was hitting the glass I had cut myself.

I felt a strange, energy surged through me. I looked back at my hand and saw the red crimson turning black. I clenched my hand and more black blood flowed out my hand. I stood up and looked at the smashed glass, instead of seeing my dark blue eyes I saw my eyes slowly being consumed by black. Then a ring formed around my eyes and my blue eyes had a mix of black in them.

I smashed again on the glass causing it to finally break, I fell out with the liquid and it flowed to the ground. I slowly breathed and caught my breath, I sat up to see a bunch of guards pointing guns at me.

"Subject 164! We order you to stand down!" The voice on the speaker said loudly. I felt a flash in my eyes as if someone had shined a light in them, but it quickly left. I blinked a few time to realize that I was covered in blood and holding a guard by the throat, he held my arm gasping for air. I quickly let go of him as he fell into a pool of blood, I looked at my shaking hands and saw they were blood stained.

"Subject 164, I order you to stand down! Now!" The voice on the speaker rang off the walls that had blood all over it, I fell to my knees in shock for what I had done. I killed them, all of them, what were they doing to me?

"Good, now stand up."

I didn't want to listen to him, but my body was resisting my mind. I got to my feet and stood there, the main door leading in. Then he stepped in with the same twisted smile I saw on him the first day I saw him. The man in the suit with the fedora. He walked up to me, he seemed as if he was going to help me.

"Leo," He said softly using my real name. "You've been the most wonderful, test subject we've ever had here."

My eye twitched from hearing him speak, his voice sounded clam and gentle, but I knew under it, was a man ready to kill.

"Through, over the time over become," He said pausing. "Unstable."

Unstable? Unstable?! These people have been experimenting on me for the past six years! They changed me, into this thing!

He pulled out a gun and held it out to me. "Take the pistol."

I slowly reached my hand for the gun, I took it in my hands and held it tightly. "Now, put the gun to your head."

I made sure the gun had bullets and moved it towards my head, my hands were shacking violently, I couldn't stop myself.

"Fire."

"NO!" I shouted pointing the gun at him, and pulling the trigger.

--

2 years passed.

Two years have passed since I escaped from the Nova Project, I had lived at least the most normal I could be. I didn't have much of a home, I just flew when I had to.

I wanted to get thing to keep me entertained but, I had no money to bye and thing. I resorted to stealing them, I stole a cell phone and an I-Pod, I found a high class parts to make a head set and took those as well. I eventually got enough part to make the whole thing.

One day, I was flying in a storm, just a normal thing. Though most lighting bolts don't hit close to me but seeing that I was tired of flying I rested on a roof. About ten minutes since I landed lighting bolts had been striking down, one however struck close by me, except it stayed there.

I slowly walked over to it and it was glowing very brightly, as I reached it the light seemed to grow brighter. Suddenly a strange light tendril shot out at me and wrapped around me, I felt electricity run through my body. A tendril then wrapped itself around my throat, I started to lose my breath and lose consciousness.

--

Present

"Then I had crashed into that farm." Leo finished with a sigh, just remembering his past just sickens him. He looked at the mares and was shocked with what he saw, all of them had tears flowing down their faces.

"How could anyone live like that?" Twilight said softly.

"Why," Pinkie said, her hair wasn't her usual curly but almost the same as Fluttershy's. "why would anyone do that?!" She said quickly hugging Leo. Leo nearly fell over from the force but managed, Lyra ran over nearly tackling him, then Twilight, Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, AppleJack, and even the two princess

"Girls, I really don't-" Leo tried to say but they all hugged him harder, Leo started to then lose his breath. "Girls, I can't breath." He choked out, they all then let go off him but with dried tears in their eyes.

"Leo," Luna said looking at him. "How could you have been through all that?"

Leo thought for a moment, he had a dark past and tried to think of the way he got through it. "To be honest." He said softly. "I just went through with it."

"Do you still have it?" Celestia asked wiping her face.

"Have what?"

"The scar."

Leo looked at his chest a second and then unzipped his jacket, he removed his headphones and tossed them to the side with his jacket. He then removed his shirt show his muscular form, they all seemed to gaze at him for he seemed as normal as any stallion. Then they noticed the giant X shaped scar on his chest, Leo's chest went in and out as he slowly breathed.

"It's just stupid." Rainbow Dash said mad. "Why would some do that to a kid!?"

"Dash, calm down." AppleJack said putting a hand on her shoulder.

"No I won't calm down!" She said pulling away. "How could someone be so twisted to do that to a poor sad child."

"It's already passed and done!" Leo shouted tears starting to roll down his eyes. "I don't want to dwell on my past and neither should you!"

They all seemed shocked at how quickly Leo reacted to the situation. Leo was breathing heavily, trying too push the experiments he went through, he sat down on a nearby couch and held his head.

"I-I'm sorry." Rainbow Dash said hanging her head. "I didn't know you wanted-" She cut herself off before she said something stupid.

"It's not your fault." Leo said wiping his tears. "You didn't know." Leo picked up his shirt and jacket and put them back on, Celestia then walked over to him.

"Leo, as ruler of this land. You must have a home to live in, so I'm requesting Twilight to take you in." She said looking back at Twilight, she nodded in response. "You may live her until you've earned enough bits to purchase a home."

"Thank you princess." Leo said with a bow.

"Good, now if you all with excuse us. We must head back to Canterlot." She said walking to the door. "Everyone lease treat our new guest with respect."

Everyone gave a quick nod, Luna walked over to Leo and hugged him one more time. Before she let go of him she left an neckalace in his hands. Leo held it in his hands and looked at her, she just nodded and walds to the door with Celestia.

"Farwell." Luna said walking out the door with Celestia. Leo looked at the neckalace and put it into his pocket, he turned back at the rest of the mares in the room.

"Look," He said running his hand through his jet black hair. "If it alright with you Twilight, I would like to get some rest."

"Of course." She said walking to the staris. She gestured for him to follow which he did, they reached the top and entered a door.

"This is the guest room you can sleep here for now." She said waving around the room. Leo suddenly hugged her tightly, Twilight was caught off by this but hugged him back.

"Thank you." Leo said softly in her ear. He then pulled away and looked into her eyes. "Thank you, for helping me."

"It's alright," She said with a smile. "Just go ahead and get some rest."

"Yeah," He said walking over to the bed and taking off his shoes. "Thanks again." He said laying down on the bed.

"Sleep well Leo." She said closing the door. Leo looked up at the ceiling and went into thought, what am I going to do here? How am I going to live here? He cut his thought short for he was to tired to think of anything, he closed his eyes and let his mind fall into a peaceful sleep.
