A/N: Well, I've revised a bit of what this story originally was and it'll run a bit differently than last time. But this will basically have myself in the story. I will keep my last name back for private reasons.


The sound of motorcycles could be heard rushing down the busy street of homes through the open window of my home. I just listen to the rustic engines roar loudly from the motorcycles when going down my street that was busy. My neighbourhood was peaceful, and got along well with the noise that would pass by.

The night was clear outside with a small fogged cloud by the white glowing moon in the evening sky. I could see the entire neighbourhood from my own window of my own room. But I only looked at the sky during my time in my personal bedroom. There had never been a beautiful night like this that I've ever seen in my lifetime. There had been various other nights that were beautiful.

I look away from my window and towards the bright light of my TV in my room. They're showing an episode of "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" on the Hub. It was a replay of the episode "A Canterlot Wedding" and it was the part when Queen Chrysalis defeats Princess Celestia, leaving the Mane Six to go running for the elements. This show happened to be one of my favorite shows that I watched, and would defend from the anti-bronies which most of my neighbours were. You could probably tell that I was watching a lot on Twilight Sparkle since she was my favorite pony. I didn't even rage like the other bronies when the entire incident on her becoming an alicorn began along with Equestria Girls in action. I just sat back in the community and enjoyed it. I've already seen the fourth season's premiere, so I can't go into much detail.

I lay on my soft bed in the left corner of the room with the door to and from my room to the right. On my desk is my laptop and pieces of paper with a bowl full of sharpened pencils. I considered myself to be a fanfiction writer and would write down my ideas on any stories that came to me. On the bowl of pencils, was also my name Brayden. A 20 year old, who liked to write stories based on my favorite show. My stomach starts to rumble giving the signal that I was hungry for a late-night snack. Most of the food in my fridge would really satisfy me, so choosing the lazy choice; I made the decision to go to one of those fast food restaurants.

I get up off my soft bed, and reach for the remote of the television and pressing the power button to turn it off. I then walk towards the door of my room and close it behind me when walking downstairs into the garage. My motorcycle could be seen there on its stand with the flaming purple color applied to it. I take the motorcycle off of the stand and open the garage door while pushing the cycle outside. Once outside, I close the garage door and get up onto my motorcycle. I ignite the engine and the clear engine sound of my cycle could be cleanly heard.

"Ah, it still sounds like awesomeness when it starts." I thought to myself, pulling back a bit and moving forward from the street and onto the road. I looked about the road, there were various buildings that would still be open. Even barbershops and disco clubs were open this late at night. It would seem like a peaceful drive with few cars on the road. But upon short arrival to the fast-food burger place known as "Big Burgers", I would receive an unexpected surprise.

There were a bunch of bikers with dangerous looking motorcycles, and they seemed to be ready to see me and didn't look very happy about my presence. "Ah, we've been waiting for you." The leader of the gang said to me, holding a bat in his hand and gently smacking it in his other. The other bikers carried pistols in their pockets, ready to fire at me if I made any funny moves. "You owe us for destroying a bit of our property and you'll pay it right this instant."

"Please, Khaln. That destruction was just a small mistake that accidentally happened." I said, with my heart starting to beat faster by each step that he took towards me. It wasn't entirely my fault that I accidentally hit his precious motorcycle that caused it to fall onto the hill and skid down the dirt road of his home, causing his motorcycle to get dirty and a scratch no doubt. Khaln finally swung his bat at me and knocked me off my motorcycle. I groan when on the ground and Khaln looks over at me.

"Well Brayden, you don't have the money with you. So it looks like by each beating you get from my precious bat, Brown Bear… the owing disappears." Khaln said, swinging his bat and hitting my left knee really hard.

I grunt in pain and begin looking for a way to escape while he was beating me up with a baseball bat. I then put an eye on the empty beer bottle that lay right onto the street next to me. When the timing was right and Khaln had his bat in the air ready to pound it at my own heart, I grab a hold of the beer bottle and throw it straight at Khaln's right shoulder. The reaction causes Khaln to drop his bat and start checking for a bloody scratch. I get up off the street ground and onto my bike, driving off in hopes of escape.

"Get him!" I could hear Khaln yell from the burger place and I go right onto the road, full throttle. Passing by a few cars is when I started to realize that Khaln's men have started to shoot their pistols at me. I manage to miss the first few shots, but one of them hits me in the back of my left shoulder and it starts to stir me off course. Finally, I get a grip onto it and realize as soon as I escape, I should head straight for home to path myself up and remove the bullet wound.

I took my chances to look behind and see that the entire Khaln bikers after me and were ready to kill me. I just dove straight into the park on the motorcycle, even carelessly driving by people and yelling sorry to them. The bullets continued to go. My motorcycle moved up the hill and towards the cliff where I usually make a mistake. "This problem never happens in Equestria!" I shout to myself and speeding forward with Khaln and his bikers getting closer.

Khaln soon started to slow down and I look behind him and stick my tongue out at him, saying "You can't even catch me slowpokes!" When I turned around, the edge of the cliff could be seen and I ditched my motorcycle, causing it to fall off of the cliff and into the lake. I rolled and then held onto my dear life on the cliff edge. The ringleader Khaln moved up into sight and was carrying his combat pistol and fired at my right hand, leaving only one hand to hold onto the cliff.

"Well Brayden. It looks like you're going to be washed away by this fall. Ta-ta." He says, then shooting my left hand, causing me to fall straight into the lake. The lake's rough waves against the cliff bash me underwater into some sharp rocks. I try to swim upwards to the surface but find myself unable to do that.

The waves continue to bash me towards the sharp rocks until of them impales my weak flesh and has blackness start to fade onto me. I tried to force myself to stay alive for this, but the last image I saw was Khaln and his members laughing. It isn't long until the sound of water is gone and silent, and the last image I have seen fades to black.

But I could hear a voice saying before fading to what I thought was eternal sleep saying "Do not worry Brayden. You'll be safe now."


I don't own My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic! Therefore if I did, would I be writing this? No, of course not.
