Well I'm happy. Back in school and everything! Isn't life just grand? Also HOTDIGGETYDEMON just put up his next animation dubbed MAGIC.MOV. You should check it out. Great stuff man! ~ Static

I was in my dream standing on a rooftop shooting zombies with a sniper rifle with Cody.

"Hey Dustin. 50 points if you hit Burt Reynolds."

"You know I can't shoot him! That's like telling you to shoot Jeff Bridges." I argued with him.

"That's a low blow. Where is he?"

"On that roof with Zombie John Goodman." I told him.

"I can't shoot him."

"I can." I pulled my rifle up and blew up Jeff's brains.

"Bastard!" He yelled trying to push me off the roof. I moved to the side and watched him fall into a crowd of zombies and get eaten.

"That's for taking my wife!" I yelled. Then behind me was a woman with red hair and green eyes. "Kay?"

"You killed him Dustin. Much like you killed me."

"I didn't kill him. I didn't kill you either. He walked right on off." I said watching my brother get torn apart.

"I hate you Dustin!" She yelled before disappearing.

"Good. Now I can move on." I said waking up. I looked around and noticed I was in my room. I looked around and noticed that everything was fine. I looked at my alarm clock. It said 5:59 before going off at 6. I hit the snooze button and got up. After a few neck pops and stretches I changed into my new suit that Dawn had made for me. It was a black and grey suit built for maneuverability and stealth. It had a purple under suit attached to it. He even gave me a purple scarf to go. I liked it either way. This was my favorite part of the new suit. No goggles. It had a helmet built inside it which folded over my head. There was a black visor built underneath to hide my appearance and act as sunglasses. It had all the visions of my goggles and more than it actually.

"Shadow?" asked Rarity as she came in. "What a unique design. I am loving the add of purple."

"Thank you kindly."

"It really looks good with the darker colors." She walked to my helmet. "And such advanced beauty!" I pushed a button and the helmet refolded into my suit's chest piece and back piece.

"Once again thank you." We walked out of the room. "So why are you here?"

"I came to wish you the best of luck darling. I want you to find these troublemakers and stop them before they hurt my fashions!" Is that all she cares about? Fashion? "Also I came to drop of a few things. Are you alright?"

"What do you mean?"

"Since you sleep by yourself now. It's been two months and you haven't really been the same."

"I know. She just meant so much to me. At least she's happier now."

"Don't say that. I know it's killing you."

"It is. I'm getting over it at least." She gave me a wink when I left the door. I don't need anybody's pity right now. I need to get this situation figured out. A spy wanted to get captured. We took her tracking device and locked her in the dungeon. Then the big guy from earlier was their. He didn't kill me. If he was the boss then he would have done it. No. Someone's leading them. But who?

"Where are you going? Are you going to kill?!" asked Rainbow Dash from the cloud above me.

"Sorry Dash. But that might happen. Just wearing my new battle suit is all." I told her. She let out a sigh and moved her cloud to a quieter place. I saw her go to a hill and then fly behind a tree. Odd. Wait I need to think... Twilight didn't great me this morning. I looked at the tree and saw a dark purple tail with a pink highlight flick out. Yep. They want to watch. Good. I want them to watch actually.

"Hey Buddy. You coming to work?" I heard in my ear via headset.

"Give me a second. Beam me up Scotty." I told him before he sent me to the office.

"Who is Scotty?"

"It's a human joke."

"I see." He sat down and looked at a file. "Let's see... We need to talk to our friend." I took off the suit and switched to my blue shirt and apron combo.

"Let's see her." We went down their putting on mask and goggles. We got to the door and saw the pony against the wall. The worst thing the guards did was use a whip on her a few times. "Let's see here. Your not our secretary by the name of Shinning Counter. It says here you are really Charm Cutter. Let me guess. You use your charm to infiltrate and then kill right?"

"Buck you!" she yelled spitting on my face. "I would rather die than tell you my reasons."

"That can be arranged Mrs. Cutter. Who is the big guy with you at all times."

"He's my... bodyguard."

"He didn't wink at you like a bodyguard." I pulled her hoof from the chain and pulled a bracelet from her shirt. "Not a bodyguard at all." She spitted at me and I gave her a backhand smack.

"How dare you hit me!"

"I can do whatever I want to you. Your an enemy of the state now. Who is he?"

"He's Charging Tank." That does not sound good. Then again that's years of Left 4 dead abuse in my head telling me that.

"And what does he do?"

"He's the strongest soldier in this land. Not even you and your weird powers can stop him."

"I don't want to stop him I want answers!" I yelled grabbing a drill. "Tell me your orders."

"Never!" I put the drill on her eyelid and bared my teeth.

"Tell me or I pop your pretty little eye."

"Okay! I'll tell you. I was sent here to be captured. But you took the transmitter before I could plant it on Celestia."

"And why do you want her?" asked Dawn dropping his good cop routine which surprised me.

"I don't need to tell you that." He grabbed the large hedge trimmers that had the blade removed and put it on her back left hoof.

"Tell us!" He yelled.

"N-no. I can't." He closed it slowly breaking her hoof in every possible place and so she could feel every bit of pain.

"AAAAHHHH! Stop! Please!" I saw the tears drop from her eyes. Looks like we broke her. "We work for a pony that wants control of this land and needs her out of the way! That's all I know! I swear!" He dropped the trimmers and wrapped her hoof.

"We didn't have much time." he told me. "Sorry If I lost my cool."

"It's cool. Now Cutter. Who do you work for?"

"You should know him Shadow. Or should I say Dustin? After all you did save him."

"That only leaves... Zephyr. The doctor?!"

"Yes. He's on his way and he knows how to stop you." She said before I lost my cool and punched her knocking her out.

"Dawn. Erase her memory. Dump her on the street."

"How much do I make her forget?"

"The past 48 hours will be good. Also put some alcohol in her system. She'll wake up drunk and think she broker her hoof."

"Good plan."

"I thought so." We walked up changing back into our original outfits. Celestia walked in and gave us all a scared look.

"Gentlemen! I need your help!" She said in a hurry. We both stood up and speed walked down the hall with her. "It appears that while we were occupied they organized a plan to kidnap someone else! My sister!" she said in tears when we got to the throne room. "I traced Luna with magic. I need you two's help!" she said.

"Yes Princess." Said Dawn. I remained quiet.

"Shadow. Please get ready."

"Alright." I walked to the door and turned around seeing it get shut behind me. Then a crystal appeared in front of me glowing in gold magic. Celestia made me a map. I grabbed it and opened it showing not a map. But a circular radar pointing me to Luna's location. Cleaver girl.

"Are you ready?" asked Dawn. I equipped my helmet and downloaded the diamond to my headset showing the radar on the bottom right corner of my HUD.

"I am. It's a world full of hate."

"I didn't pick up that last part."

"Don't worry about it Watcher. Just watch over me." I flew out the window and went over the tree the girls were hiding at. I landed behind them and shot air out of the two air vents on the bottom of my helmet. They were scared. The visor opened showing my face. "What are you girls doing?" I just noticed that everyone was with them. All my friends came out the bushes. "And guys."

"We're here to help." said Twilight.

"Help by watching me?"

"Yep. We can do some damage from here." said Applejack.

"AJ. I appreciate it guys but I don't want any of you involved. It's okay if you are watched but if you get involved they will hunt you like they did to Kay." I told them before closing my helmet. "I'm serious. I can't lose you guys." They all gave me a hug and then I took off following the radar. Down I saw an arrow heading for me with a rope tied to it. I dodged it and pulled it up pulling a pony into the air. He was small and squirmy.

"Let me down!" he cried as I held him over some buildings.

"Sure thing." I said dropping him into the city. I went back to radar hunting. Huh. It's like Dragon Ball all over! Got to get that Dragon Ball! I looked down to see the large blue pony from the day before. He was sharpening a sword. What better time to attack! I jumped into a shadow and assaulted the unprepared pony. After about a minute of holding him in a choker hold he started to talk.

"I'll talk! I'll talk!" he said. I put him down and put some high-tech cuffs on him. If he gets farther than 10 ft from me then he gets zapped with enough energy to kill Discord.

"I hope you remember me." I said slamming his head in the wall causing him to bled from the scalp. "Now tell me why you attacked!"

"We needed to get you out of the picture so we could get the princess!" Not so tough now are ya?

"Where is Zephyr?" I asked him. "I want to pay him an old friend's visit the best way I know how."

"He's on the bay in the lighthouse!"

"Thank you big guy." I gave him a hard punch knocking him out. "Thought you would be stronger than that." I began to walk away. I heard what sounded like breaking metal and turned to see him out of the hoof cuffs and begin to charge at me. Now I see... Charging Tank... That makes more sense now. I jumped over him and grabbed his tail throwing him back into the shadows. I then used my magic to surround him in it.

"Where are we?!" He yelled as we entered the Shadow Realm.

"We are in my domain." I said making the shadows cover his face. "Live your worst dream." I said sending him into a nightmare. I pulled him out of the shadows. He was knocked out and shivering. He would cry out and say something every now and then but I tied him up with some chains and headed for the beach. Dr. Z is going to pay for fucking with me.

"What are you doing?" asked Dawn. "Go get the princess."

"But Dawn! I can stop all of this!"

"Think deep down. What is your job and what is right?"

"...Just wait Luna." I turned around and began my flight towards the location on the radar. I found a small square building that the Radar highlighted as being her location.

"I have a question." asked Dawn. "Their are a lot of dudes in their. How do you see yourself?" he asked me.

"I'm more of a... people person." I popped my neck.

I stormed through the roof standing between 15 guys. I quickly went back and forth throwing punches. I gave one a double kick.

[1]

I grabbed another and held his hoof in my shoulder area and gave him a few punches before releasing him and giving him a far kick.

[2]

I jumped up and grabbed two slamming their heads together and driving them into the ground.

[3]

I blocked a punch and took one as a shield. A bunch of them began throwing spears and shooting arrows which I used this poor guy to block.

[4!]

I threw him at the others as a crowd clearer and a couple of them were stuck. I gave them all quick taps to the head.

[9!]

I looked at the remaining 6 and watched them.

"Boo!" I said and 4 of them ran out. 1 of the guys left charged me and I kicked him in the nuts and grabbed his head with my right arm and shoulder and snapped it back killing him. The last one pulled out a turret and aimed it at me. A turret! Guess they did get decent technology. I summoned a Shadow Shield and caught all the bullets before sending each and every one of them back into his head. He gurgled and fell back.

"Ehg..." I said to myself looking at the bloody mess.

"Dustin!" cried Luna in a dangling cage. She was a mess. I cut the cage down and examined her injured body. Lots of cuts, bruises, and they... they... did something bad to her.

"Oh my... Luna! What did they do?!"

"They... They..." she tried to tell me but instantly bawled up and cried in my chest.

"Shh shh. I'm so sorry. Let's get home. Dawn." He both got covered by the familiar orange light and appeared in the castle throne room. She continued to cry on me until Celestia came to her and pulled her into a motherly hug. I know. Weird. They're sisters aren't they? I looked down at my clothes. "Let's see... Blood... A little glass... tears... and a wonderful white liquid! Dawn!" He came up and scrubbed the suit with a brush and soap bucket. "Thank you."

"Welcome. Is she...?"

"Yes. They did. Let's just not say anything." We tried to comfort the crying alicorn. She couldn't talk anymore. Her whole body shut down in pain and shame. I nodded to Dawn and we grabbed her my blanket from the office during days I forget to go home. We wrapped her up and left Celestia to comfort her alone. Just to make sure we locked all the doors and we went to the office and talked.

"Jeez. How could they do that to her?" he yelled.

"I don't know but I killed most of them. Now I'm glad I had a reason to." I looked at her through the wall. We had these one way mirrors beside the door. Poor kid...

"Nightmare would have gotten out and killed them all."

"She would have. But I killed her. I brought this on that kid."

"Kid?"

"She has the body of a teen. Why? Because she was a teen when she was sent to the moon." I said to him. He knew I was sad because I didn't protect her like a proper guard. "I don't know how to fix this Dawn! We failed our jobs!"

"I know. It's okay. For us I mean... but what can we do to help her?"

"We never leave her side again." I said. "Even though that is not possible. Where the hell were her personal guards?"

"I haven't seen them since the secretary tried to escape... does that mean...!"

"We have more spies! This time they went to far!" I yelled walking out the door.

"Where are you going Shadow!" He asked following me. I opened the door to the hallway and saw the two of them laughing out loud.

'She was the best pussy I've ever fucked!' said G1. (guard #1)

'Shh... Shadows over there. *clears throat.*'

"Hey Shadow!" he said. I gave him my death stare. "What?" I pointed into the throne room and they listened to the crying from inside. I gave them both a barrage of punches and held them captive. "What are you doing!" yelled the second one coughing some blood.

"We know what you did!" I yelled so loud so everyone in the castle could hear. "We trusted you to protect your princess! Instead you had her kidnapped and you raped her! How could you?!"

"How would you understand Shadow. Have you been around a woman so long that you would do anything to get with her?" asked guard 1.

"I do know! Kay! Remember her? I have known her since I was 5 and now she's gone! I know that feeling much worse than a lowlife like you!" I knocked them both out due to anger. "It's just a world full of hate." I told Dawn.

"What?"

"I thought this world was different. It's exactly the same as my world. I have seen many crimes. I have committed a fair share of them. I never did anything like rape. No... the worse I did was arson. Murder, maybe. But never this. I hate rape and suicide more than all other forms of pain."

"Have you been in that much pain Dustin?"

"Worse. I had a sister back on Earth. She died when I was 11. She was... raped. Then murdered."

"Oh Celestia that's horrible!"

"They never got who did it where as here we caught two of them red handed."

"These two weren't the only rapist?"

"No... I don't think so. I don't think that 15 guys would stand around and watch this without getting greedy." I told him.

"They all helped." said Luna walking in the hallway. "I heard everything."

"And you should know that I'm going to find the 4 guys who I didn't kill and teach them a lesson." In case you were wandering when I was tapping people in the head I was stabbing their brains. Can't help it. Bad hobby.

"Take a break Shadow. At least take comfort that you saved me." she said quietly. "You did what you could."

"If I was quicker than I could have avoided this. Zephyr will pay. I promise."

"Who?" she asked.

"The doctor I saved in the past. God dammit I trusted him!" I yelled kicking one of the guards on the ground. "I trusted him like I trust these two. Now I regret everything." I just lost some pride. I got stabbed in the back again. Failed my job to protect and to top the cream whip on the ice cream sundae with a cherry the person who I was supposed the protect lost that very same cherry.

"I'm sorry Shadow."

"About what?"

"For making you worry so much."

"Don't say that. If anything I'm sorry." Luna gave me a nod and wrapped herself with my blanket while Celestia escorted her to their chambers. "Dawn what's the deal with Cutter."

"We erased her memory and put her on the edge of town." Near their H Q I imagine.

"Alright." I went outside. Their was snow on the ground which I imagine since we're in the middle of January. The moon was up and full with every star beside it. It was as if the moon itself was crying. It was a beautiful yet heartbreaking sight. Now I'm even sadder. "I will get Zephyr." I said to myself. "Dawn? Did you do as was told?"

"Put our tracker signal on her?"

"Yes."

"I did. Why?"

"She's going to take us to her base. If they have anymore advanced technology I imagine door passwords and security."

"Alright then. Go get some rest." Did I really spend all day already?

"Fine. See you later." I flew off. Now I have to tell my friends how Luna was raped and I know Twilight won't take it well. When I landed and opened the door their was a news broadcast on the TV. God bless these ponies and technology! "What's on?" I asked and they all looked at me and went 'Shh!' so I shut myself up and watched it.

'We have reports that the hero Shadow not only killed 11 ponies today but was also causing trouble at the castle.'

"What?!" What the fuck! How can they post that!

'He came in through the building and just went off on us. For no reason!' said a pony with fake bandages on. He was one of the ones who escaped.

"That's bullshit! I killed them because they kidnapped Luna!" I muted the TV "How can they lie like that?"

"Should we believe you?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"Dash. You have known me for a long time now. Are you just going to believe this news report over me?"

"I just might. The news is usually right." My Little Bitch! I will kill you! No! Keep it together.

"Then fuck it your no help." I cut the volume back on.

'It is also known that Shadow has beaten up his own teammates.' It showed a picture of the two night guards all battered and bruised. 'He also kidnapped people including his own princess.' I muted it again.

"Well... Now I know who else to kill."

"Tell us what really happened then all mighty hero!" said and angered Pinkie.

"15 ponies kidnapped Luna. The two guards I assaulted help them. They tortured and raped her." They all gasped. "I let a few of them go. They worked for an old man I knew named Zephyr so tomaro I'm paying him a little visit." I looked at all my friends who didn't believe me. "I shouldn't have to explain myself to you guys." I went outside and flew to the news room. I came in through the window and talked to her while she was doing the interview.

"Shadow!" she basically jumped out of her chair.

"Stand up. Tell me why you are spreading lies over the news."

"I'm not!"

"Don't play coy. I didn't do many of those things"

"But but you killed and-"

"I killed to rescue the princess. Didn't think about that did ya?" I walked to the camera. "I'm tired of your propaganda." I destroyed it.

"How am I suppose to work?"

"Your not. They are already getting a new reporter to come in and replace you." I said walking into the shadow.

"Wait!" She jumped in it but I was already gone. That was fun. Now I need some sleep.
