"Alright, that's the general gist of things. I'll be sure to set up some form of communication in case you need to talk to me, and a Mico platform... where am I going to put the other one..."

"Miles?" E' Claire asks, getting me back on track.

"Right. Well, we have to head back to Ponyville, be sure to fill Bantler and Na-da in on the details." I say as I back away towards the center of town.

"OK... we've got this... kind of." Butterscotch says as she stands up and follows me. "How exactly will we be able to contact you?"

"With a phone obviously." I say as I turn around and walk to the center of town. Confused, they follow after me, whispering to each other about what they think will happen.

The towns center is a large open yard with four trees blocking the four paths of the town. I go to the very center of these trees and lay my hands down. In one quick motion I stand up and swing my hands straight up, making a pillar of stone rise straight up. Next, I slam my hands onto the pillar and start to super condense it, leaving cross bars for additional support. Lastly, I set up a Mico platform underneath the structure. Once finished, I look back to Butterscotch and E' Claire and laugh at their dumb founded faces.

"What? It's like you've never seen a communications tower." I say as I walk past them.

"Y-you can use magic." Butterscotch mutters as they stare at the tower.

"Yeah. You're not the only ones that can use magic." I say, making her look at her horn and pout. "Now, unless you have any other questions, we need to get back home to relax and prepare for the next city."

"We should be good.... and thank you Miles. For giving us a second chance." E'Claire says as the two of them lean against each other. I nod to them before heading to the building everyone's at. I hope they can follow the guide lines, though they seemed fairly serious about it. I'll have to be sure to come by next week to check up on them. I make it to the building, knowing it the one due to the smoke coming up from the chimney.

"Hey, anybody here?" I ask as I step inside the building. I don't see anybody, but I can hear murmurs in the back room. I walk up to the door as Twilight finishes saying something.

"...ever again."

"He only did it in self defense." Storm defends. I pause at the door and wait to hear what else she has to say.

"he didn't do anything though. He was just getting in his face. Because of what he did, some thirty ponies are dead now." Twilight says, getting murmurs from the others.

"But with out his help the town would still be under their control." Rainbow Dash says.

"We could of went to Princess Celestia. She could of done something about it that would of saved their lives..."

"Were their lives worth saving?" I ask as I walk around the corner. Everyone gives me mixed looks, some scared while some are worried. "If Celestia had came here herself, then something would have been done. But I know she wouldn't make the trip herself. She would of sent another guard that would of been tricked or lied to. Action was needed, not good intentions." Everyone stays silent as I stand there, waiting for a response.

"Lets just head home." Storm says quietly. I turn around and lead everyone back to the shed where we find Bantler and Na-da waiting.

"Ready to head out eh?" Bantler says as he undoes the lock to his shed. "I'm in your debt Miles. You saved this town, and my family's heritage. Thank you." Before I could say anything, Na-da walks up to me and wraps me up in a tight hug.

"Thank you." She whispers softly into my ear before stepping back next to Bantler.

"Well, I won't keep ya any longer then I need ya." Bantler says as the two of them back away from us.

"Don't worry, you'll see us again... maybe. Me for sure." I say as I step inside and get into the jeep. I turn the ignition on and pull out of the garage. Once everyone piles in we wave goodbye and drive off. As we leave, I glance back through the rear mirror and see the white wisp again, so I slam the brakes and look back.

"What is it Miles?" Rarity asks as I stare at it. It's spinning slowly high in the air, arms spread out. I does this for a second before it takes of through the air, heading east.

"Did anyone else see that?" I ask as I try to watch it fly away, but lose it quickly.

"See what?" Fluttershy asks as everyone looks back with me.

"The white... wispy thing. I saw it back in Quartz Crest as well."

"I didn't see anything." Rarity says.

"Me neither." Applejack adds.

"I guess it was just my imagination... probably." I say as I sit back down and drive off, glancing back until Moosden was out of sight.

"Alright see you guys later." I say as Applejack and Dash jump out of my jeep. I had dropped everyone else off at their homes, but Dash decided to take Scootaloo home herself.

"Night Miles." Applejack says with a yawn.

"Later." Dash says as she runs inside the red house. I turn my attention back to the road and drive home.

When I make it back I drive around back and make a small shack for my jeep. Nothing fancy, just four walls and a roof made of stone. In addition to that, I also make the other Mico platform and communications tower for Moosden. Satisfied with my work, I decide to call it a day and head inside. As I walk around to the front, something catches my attention off in the park. I pause and try to get a better look but... whatever it was, it vanished. Should I go and take a look? I'm pretty sure it was nothing... but better safe then sorry. I walk off into the dark park, trying to find whatever it was that I saw. Everything here seems normal, gentle hills, flowers, and random park paraphernalia. Absolutely nothing out of the norm...

"It's OK, really. Nothing scary is going to happen, I promise." A voice in the dark says. I look around as I try to find it, I think it's just behind those bushes.

"est........adhuc......terridus..........eum.." A voice whispers. It's was almost impossible to hear, but I know I heard a soft voice.

"Non, ipse est ok. Realiter. Dico, certus, occidit custodes Moosden, sed ille suus bonum. Aut quod 'quis Dusty Scrolls dicit...."

"How do you know that?" I ask as I walk through the bushes and stop in my tracks. Ahead of me is a pony in all black robes guiding..... a white.... shimmer. It seems to resemble the form of a women... but I can't make out any details. The pony looks at me to reveal that it's a light blue earth pony with dark red hair. "Who are you... and what is that?"

"What?" Asks the pony as he lifts up a hoof.... and makes a ball of blue energy appear above it. "Did you say you can see this peace spirit?"

"Uh... what are you doing?" I ask as I back away from him.

"Don't worry, you won't remember." He says as a dart of blue energy shoots at me. I quickly roll to the side and dodge the attack. When I sit back up I pull my revolver out and point it at him.

"What the fuck was that!? What are you doing!? Why...."

"Please stand still, I promise it won't hurt." He says as he tries to shoot me again. I dodge again by rolling forward, putting my revolver right under his chin.

"Don't make me..."

"Placere non movent..."

BANG

I fall back as his lifeless body falls to the ground. He was... he was speaking Latin? How does a pony know how to speak in Latin! And..... did..... did I just kill him? I stare at his lifeless body as the white wisp floats above him.

"Homicida."

"No... I-I didn't mean to...."

"Homicida."

"He attacked me! I was just defending myself! He gave me no choice!"

"HOMICIDA!" It wails as it flies off towards the Everfree. I was about to chase after it, but in the blink of an eye it disappeared.

"OK, don't panic, don't panic, what ever I do just... don't... panic." I say as I stand up and pace back and forth. It'll be OK. I just have to... not get caught. Yeah... what to do about the body though? I look back and try to think of the most logical explanation possible.... Icy void. I kneel down beside him and check to if he had anything important... nothing. No money, no ID, absolutely nothing was on him. I stand back up an try to bring out my Icy void. I think all I have to do is shut my hands with my magic flowing through...

"Got it." I say as I bring the black orb up in front of my fist. I look back down and offer a moment of silence for him before blasting him to nothingness. OK, he's gone, no one saw anything... no one except that white wisp... anyway, I just need to head home and lay low for awhile.

I roll over in bed and just stare out the window in a daze. I couldn't sleep at all last night. I kept thinking back to that guy I killed. Why is he bothering me so much? I've killed before, those guards, trainees, proditores, but why is his death weighing so heavily on me. With a heavy sigh I force myself out of bed and decide to head over to Twilight for council on this. I grab the last shirt and pants from my drawers; a white button up and black jeans, and head down stairs. I look over and laugh as I see Lupus sleeping on the recliner with his but hanging off the front with a note taped on. I walk out the front door and..... wait, what? I head back inside and sure enough, there it is. A note folded in half taped to Lupus's butt. I walk over and take the note, making him stifle in his sleep. I open the note to see a pony's hoof in black takes up the center with Scimus written below it....

"WHAT THE FUCK!" I yell as I fall back. That was fucking Latin! Who knows? Who was able to get inside my home and put a note on Lupus? WHY DID LUPUS LET THEM DO IT! I run back upstairs and grab my sword before running back down and heading over to Twilight's. I know she's probably still mad at me, but I need help that won't have me arrested.

BANG

"TWILIGHT!" I yell as I burst through her front door.

"AH!" Spike yells as he falls off a latter, droping the pile of books he was carrying right on top of him. "Miles! What the heck man?" He asks as he pops out of the books. I ignore him and run upstairs to her room.

"Storm? Twilight?" I ask as I look around the empty room.

"They aren't here." Spike says as he follows after me.

"WHAT?! Where are they?" I ask as I turn back to him.

"Twilight received a letter from Celestia telling her about a pop quiz she was dropping on her. Storm went with her to Canterlot for... moral support... you know. Cause of how Twilight gets and all..."

"Shit." I say as I walk past him and head back down stairs. "It's OK. I can handle this... maybe."

"Uh... handle what?" Spike asks as I pace around the room.

"What? Nothing.Just... it's nothing."

"Miles, you seemed stressed. Why don't you go home and try to relax a little." Spike says nervously as I continue to pace around.

"Huh? Oh... sure... relax. I can do that." I say as I walk out of the door and head home. Relax... yeah, I destroyed the body. No one saw anything, I just have to lay low... relax.... calm...

"I'm calling you out Miles Eremita!" Someone yells from behind as I near my home. I turn around to see a pony wearing a dark cloak. Though the cloak covers most of his body, I can see his face. He's a dark blue with light green hair, and probably an earth pony, unless he's just hiding his wings.

"Who are you...." I ask as he rears up and holds his hooves out, making two outlines to single bladed axes. "And..."

"I think you know why I'm here." He says as he starts to advance on me. I step back and pull out my sword as he lunges at me. I dodge to the left and swing at him, getting blocked by his other axe. I spin around and start to walk backwards as I parry his attacks. I can tell he has some skills, but he's no where near my level. I roll forward and slam the hilt of sword as he slams the butt of his axes against my back. I buckle a little from the hit as he falls back.

"It doesn't have to be like this." I say as I stand and square off with him.

"Sorry, but this ends now."

"If you say so." I say as I send some energy into my blade. As he starts to run at me I hold my position until he's close enough, then I swing at him.

SHEECK

I look at his frozen body and sigh. This makes two. Fuck..... just... fuck! I Close my hand and shoot the block of ice with Icy void. I drop to my knee as I tire from using the unfamiliar magic. I stand back up and look around to see if anyone is close by. With the coast clear, I turn and run home. OK, I need to just lay low from now on.... I also need to stop killing people.

I sigh as I open my tired eyes. I spent all of yesterday locking up my home and trying to not kill anything. Now that I think about it, I actually spent most of my time just freaking out...

"Hmmm...." Luna sighs as she rolls over and holds onto me lightly......

"WHAT THE FUCK!" I yell as I sit up and..... WHY AM I NAKED!

"Miles... too early.... what's this?" She says sleepily as she takes a note off of her face.

"Serio, iterum... huh?" I look over and see that's its another note with the black hoof on it, with Serio, iterum written on the bottom. "What are you doing in my room?" She asks as she lays back down, trying to go back to sleep.

:"Uh... this is my room. How did you get here?" I ask as I stand and put the clothes that I had on yesterday on.

"Really... OK." She mumbles as she stands up and walks over to me. She pulls me down for a kiss and a hug before looking around the room. "Why is all of your furniture covering your windows... and doors.... and closet?"

"I was..."

"Wait, what time is it?" She asks as she goes to the window and looks out behind the bed frame. "Hmm... it's still fairly early... you know, we have some time..."

"Luna, I would love to do nothing more then... that. But... right now..."

"Yeah, plus I need to get up early to meet up with Tia about something important. I guess I'll just head home then. Love you." She says as she gives me another hug. I act normal until she takes the Mico platform back home, then I freak out.

"SON OF OF BITCH!" I yell as I grab my sword and started to tear my dresser from the doorway. As soon as I had enough space to squeeze out, I ran straight for the door and...

SLAM

Right... still bolted shut. I pick myself up off the ground and unlock the door. After I step out and gently shut the door I take off, sprinting as fast as archaically possible.

STOP

I slide to a stop in the middle of the market and look around.... was... is this Soul Fire?

KILL THEM

...... who?

THEM

I look around the slightly busy market until I see...... them. A group of four ponies walking towards me from down the street. The one on the left is a white earth pony with light blue eyes, blue hair and a solid white streak going down the center. Beside him is a light grey unicorn with a red eyes, a red two toned mane and tail. Next to him is a light yellow pegasus with green eyes, black hair that has a white stripe going through it. Lastly, is a cloaked earth pony. I can't really get a good look at...

MOVE

Right... not sure why I have to kill them, but... Soul Fire talking is enough cause. I begin to walk back home as I continue to eye the group of ponies following me. The pegasus and and the earth pony are wearing black goggles that have a white band going around their heads. The earth pony has on a green backpack... not a satchel, a backpack... not sure what to make of that.

GET OUT TO THE OPEN, SEPARATE THEM.

Right... just entered the park, so another meter or so and I'll make my move. I glance back to see a satchel on the unicorn... is... I think I hear music. It's sounds too far away for me to make out clearly, but...

FOCUS

Right... halfway there...

GO FOR THE WINGED ONE FIRST...

NO, THE DEMON IS THE THREAT, GO FOR THE UNICORN FIRST.

THE ARCHER IS A BIGGER THREAT. GO FOR HER FIRST, THEN THE DEMON, THEN THE BRIGHT ONE...

What about the earth pony?

HE'LL BE THE EASIEST TO DEAL WITH, SAVE HIM FOR LAST.

I take a deep breath as we enter a secluded part of the park and ready my magic.

KA-KRA-BOOM

I had spun around and sent a beam of soul fire at the pegasus, but missed slightly and made the ground before her explode. I'm not sure how, but the area beside her also exploded, sending her flying back into a tree.

"CC! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU, YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Yells the grey unicorn as he charges out of the smoke. He's wielding what looks like the energy outline of a longsword. I pull out my sword and parry his swing. As he pulls back his sword, I see a shimmer of black and red wash over his face.

CLINK CHING CLANG

The unicorn and I trade blows for a bit as I back away from him, waiting for my opening.

"DAMIAN!" Yells the earth pony as I kick forward and knock the unicorn over. I was about to stab him in the throat when I suddenly take a hit from the side. I roll a couple of times before sliding to a stop. I push myself up and fall back down as a massive wave of pain numbs my side. I flare my free hand and slam it into my chest, sending waves of healing magic through my body as the others slowly approach me.

"BULLSHIT! That's cheating!" Yells some earth pony as he joins the other two. He seems to... he's sewn together. Different parts of his body seems to be made of different greying body parts... and he has a monocle. The only normal thing about him is his black charred hair.... I'm still not taking any chances.

KA-KRA-BOOM

Once I finished healing myself I thrust my palm at him, hitting him square in the chest and making him explode. Usually that makes them turn to...

"AROUND!" Yells the unicorn, making the earth pony charge straight at me as he brings up his earthen hammer. I charge the magic in my sword and stab the ground, making a row or earthen swords pierce up at him. He slams his hammer onto the ground, making a small column of earth launch him into the air. I take a hold of him with my magic and fling him to my right, sending him flying far out of reach.

"NOT THE FACE!" Yells the earth pony as he slams into a tr...

BOOM

I drop to a knee as I suddenly have a surge of energy wash through me. I look back to the unicorn to see that he's pointing his sword at me. Bolts of electricity shoot out from the tip as he readies to swing again.

SLINK

Before he could send another bolt at me I launched myself at him and took a swing at him, slicing him up the chest. I pin around and kick him in the chest, making him fall to the ground and lose his sword. I jump on top of him and try to stab him with my sword, but suddenly dozens of his head appear around his and start to move around. I stare at them for a second before I stab at the center, making all of the other heads disappear as he looks back at me with a smug look.

"Mine now." He says as I try to pull my sword out, but can't seem to get it to budge. He takes this moment to try to get me off of him by trying to punch me. I quickly swat his hoof away and punch him across the face. I pull back and punch again and again as his face begins to shimmer again. He twist his body and tries to kick me, but I quickly push myself up and roll to the side...

"COOL IT!" Yells the grey earth pony as he aims his hoof at me. I quickly raise a hand at him and bring up a shield, blocking a beam blue and white energy that ricochets off and hits hits him in the chest, making him freeze... then explode...

"AH! MY ASS!" Yells the unicorn as he grabs a bloody ice shard that's sticking out of his ass.

"PATCHES!" Yells the white earth pony as he charges at us. I quickly close my hand and shoot a beam of Icy void at him. The column over takes his body and makes him disappear, along with a trench of the ground leading to him. I was about to get back to the unicorn, when something caught my eye. I look back to where the earth pony was and... and...

"What the fuck is that?" A pale white woman hovers in the air above where the pony was. She has long flowing blonde hair and has the purest blue eyes. She has a long white dress on that's just flowing along with her hair.

"Who?" Asks the unicorn from behind as the woman just crosses her arms and shakes her head at me.

"What the.... OK, what the fuck." I say as she flips me off. Suddenly a bright light shines from her, forcing me to look away. When the light fades away I look ba.... "OK, seriously? WHAT THE FUCK!" I say as I look back to see the white pony from before standing there. He looks around a bit before he lays down and huddles up for warmth.

"S-so...c-c-cold." He mutters as a blanket throws itself out of his backpack and wraps itself around him. "Thank you backpack..."

"OK!" I say as I stand I raise my hands. "Fuck it, I surrender. He should be fucking dead, and now.... now he's... WHAT THE FUCK!" I yell as I look back to see him drinking a hot cup of.. what the fuck.

DON'T SURRENDER! KEEP FIGHTING!
DON'T SURRENDER! KEEP FIGHTING!

"NO! He already surrendered!" Yells the unicorn as he marches up to me. He grabs my shirt and tries to pull me down, but I'm a little too tall for him. So I kneel down for him...

SLAP

"OW! What was that for?" I ask as I rub my cheek.

"FIX IT!" He growls at me.

"Fix what?"

"Fix. CC."

"Uh... who?" I ask as I look around. The only ponies here are him, the fucking dead-not dead asshole and... "Didn't you blow up?" I ask as I look over to the grey stitched one.

"Yeah, I do that." He says as he looks around for random chunks of flesh; that he sticks back into place...

SLAP

"OW! What the fuck!?" I ask as I rub my other cheek.

"FINE! Then fix me! I have Patches in my ass!"

*Twitch*

We both look over to a nearby tree to see a large yellow wing sticking out of a random bush.

"Of course that's what she hears." He grumbles as he lets go of me and runs over to her. I stand back up and follow after him as he pulls the pegasus out of the bush. She's hurt really bad. A large chunk of a branch has pierced through her wing and into her chest. Blood is still flowing out from the wounds and she isn't breathing.

"Yeah, that's bad." The white one says as he drops some white spongy things into the brown liquid.

"No shit." I say as I grab the branch and get ready to pull, only to have the unicorn grab my wrist.

"Can you fix this?" He asks seriously.

"Probably." I say as I yank out the chunk, making blood squirt onto his face. He just wipes it away and continues to watch her anxiously.

JUST LET HER BLEED OUT...

"Hey! Fuck you asshole!" The unicorn yells as he rears his hoof back to punch me. "FIX HER NOW!"

"You know, you could say please..."

"NOW! You blew her into a tree! Fix her now!" He yells. I just roll my eyes and lay my palms on her chest. I start by sealing the wounds and fixing the tissue. After that, I move to her wings and start fixing the tendons. Only now do I realize how large her wings are. They seem to be better suited for a griffin.

"Hey, go get..."

KER-PUNCH

"AW FUCK!" I yell as I fall back. Why do they keep hitting my face!?

"CC!" The unicorn yells as he tries to shake the pegasus awake, but she's out cold.

"She won't wake up." I say as I stand up. "I put a sleeping spell on her so I could fix her lungs." I say as I take a look around. "Pick her up and lets take her to my place..."

"Why?" The white pony asks as he downs the beverage.

"I can see a group of towns people heading this way." I say, making them look over to the small crowd of ponies heading towards us.

"Alright, your place it is." Says the grey one. I squat down and lift CC up before the unicorn could do anything to help.

"Uh... could I carry her?"

"..... no." I say as I walk off.

"You bitch..." He grumbles as they follow after me. We make it to my home where I pause for a second... everything seems... correct.

"Good evening sir." Says a bot as it walks past me and approaches the white pony. Suddenly it warps into his backpack, filling it for a second before the bag sags as if its empty. I just stare at him in disbelief... how does a three hundred kilogram bot... fit in a backpack?

"What? I didn't do it. Backpack didn't want CC in a filthy house." The pony says as he shrugs his shoulders.

"Thank you Backpack." The unicorn says as he walks inside. What the fuck...

"Are you coming or not?" Asks the grey one as he walks inside. I shake my head and follow after them, taking her to the couch. After I lay her down I lay my hands back on her and start to read her vitals. She has a punctured lung and still has some wing damage, not to mention all of the blood loss.

"How is she?" Asks the unicorn as he looks her over, obviously upset.

"Well, she has a punctured lung, some tendon damage, and..."

"Damn..." She says as she lifts her head up and looks me over. "You're hot.... I think I have porn of you." She says weakly before she passes back out.

"WHAT!" The both of us yell. We look to each other for a second before he gets up and storms away, grumbling to himself about gay porn. I just ignore him and go back to fixing her.

"I'm Miles by the way." I say to him, making him pause.

"I know.... I'm Damian." He says before he continues to walk away.

"I'm Hammer." The white pony says cheerfully as he takes a seat next to me. "And that over there is Patches!"

"Great." I say as I try to ignore him and continue my work.

"Yeah, and this is Backpack!" He says as a spring board pops out and gets in my face. At the end of the spring board is a fake hand that is flipping me off.... what th-aw forget it.

"So, while I heal up your friend here, who don't you tell me who you all are."
