"Alright Dustin. First training course tests out your speed."

"I'm sure I can handle it."

"Can you?" God snapped his fingers dropping chains and weight tons on my body.

"Ah! What is this?"

"You must learn to be fast and heavy. Your new armor will serve that purpose."

"Armor?"

"First you must earn it."

"Earn?"

"Get going before I release the hell hounds."

"What?"

Death walked up beside me and blew a whistle.

"Shit!" I got up and tried to run but fell back down.

"Take it easy Dustin." said God.

"I can't!" One of the fiery hell hounds jumped up and bit me in the ass. "OW!"

"Just use your safe word." said Death.

"I don't have OW! Okay! Oklahoma! Oklahoma!" the dog let go. "Oh man..."

"Oklahoma?"

"It was the first thing that came to my mind."

"Huh. Zeus nailed you good." said Death picking up the dog. "Didn't you? Didn't you? Aw..." he allowed the dog to lick his eyeholes.

"Eh..."

"Get going." said God.

"Right!"

David's POV

Hmm... yeah... marshmallows...that's what I want...

"Hey! Wake up!" said someone outside of my dream. I awoke to see Celestia worrying.

"What time is it..." I asked her.

"It's time to get up!"

"What is it?"

"I think I heard something."

"Relax. There's no such thing as ghosts."

"I didn't say ghost."

"You did now."

"Maybe it's your dead friend."

"Dustin? Nah."

"I swear he's after us!"

"Doubt it. I'm sure he's having the time of his life up there in heaven."

Meanwhile...

"Faster!" yelled God as I ran on the bamboo pipes he had laid out vertically. I didn't want to complain since he was a god and all but this is nuts! I made it to the end of the track all... out of breath.

"*gasp* OH... hah hah hah... how'd I do?"

"Better. You did it in 20 seconds. Do you know how much of those weights we put on you weigh?"

"No."

"Well it's 2 ton each so we put 3 of them on you."

"I'm carrying 6 tons?!"

"Surprised? You shouldn't be. All angels can carry more than they look like they can."

"I"m an angel?"

"Always have been. Well if we're throwing that out then I'll put this out there as well. Your name's not Dustin."

"Oh great... another change..."

"It's actually Grimm."

"Grimm? That sounds grim."

"Don't start with the puns."

"Sorry."

"Next training. Intelligence. I see how you are fooled and let ponies like Celestia read your mind."

"I know."

"This one will be easy. I'll just upgrade your head."

"How does that-" he put his hands on my head. "OW! Jeez! What are you doing?!"

"Fixing you."

"I'm not a pet!"

"All done."

"OH really? Huh. Didn't really... feel... it..."

"Next is to get you a new arm and body." He and Death both grabbed me.

"This isn't fair! I can't fight back! NO!"

"Stop whining." said Death.

"I'm not whining. THIS is whining. Wah the straps are too tight! Why do I have to get a metal arm? Why can't I regrow it? Why does Death not have skin? Why does-"

"We get it!" cried God.

"Tell me when your done."

"Done."

"Huh." I looked down at my new arm. It was a metal arm that showed where muscle would be and large metal pieces.

"Your a shape shifter so I don't need to explain this to you."

"Not at all."

"Next step is to get you your new armor and weapon." I followed them outside the training to the armory. "Grimm."

"That takes some getting use to."

"Sorry. I want to make you my own personal soldier. The Painkiller."

"Right on!"

"Right on exactly. You'll go to other dimensions and worlds to regulate the balance and good in order. Don't let chaos win."

"Sweet."

"Mostly. We still need to make your armor and get you out of here."

The small group led me to a large chasm. It was in between two cliffs and appeared to never end.

"You must go alone." said God.

"Best of luck Painkiller." said Death. The two slowly walked away.

"Painkiller...I like the sound of that." I looked around and saw a tree limb sticking in the cliff. "Well... that's handy." I held my arm and shot my hand on it with a chain attached. "Time to swing!" I jumped and went faster than I imagined. To make things worse their were monster arms and tentacles trying to grab me. I made it to the end to see I was at a bridge.

"Ah... we meet again." said the bridge keeper.

"Hello keeper. Give me your 3 questions."

"Question 1. What is your heavenly name?"

"Grimm."

"Question 2. What is your quest?"

"To become the Painkiller."

"Question 3. What... is your favorite color?"

"Orange."

"Okay. Off you go."

"Thank you very much."

"Such a nice young man." he said to himself turning around. The bridge was long and old. Way to be creepy.

David's POV

I walked inside my room after a day of keeping paparazzi busy.

"Celestia I'm home." No response. "Luna?"

"Over here." said Luna. She looked terrified.

"What's wrong baby?" I asked her.

"I keep hearing footsteps. Not like a pony. Its these loud footsteps that-" *step... step... step...* "See?! That's not a pony!"

"That's... human. Hello?" I asked around in the dark room. Nothing. "Luna I think this is creepy and we should leave."

*sound of footsteps running and door slamming.*

"Or not... Okay.... Dustin would know what to do here."

Dustin's POV

I was still walking across that old bridge which seemed to get more dramatic with each step. After a good... meh... 4 minutes... I made it to this door. Inside was a black orb on a pedestal. Actually there were multiple orbs but the black one had 'Painkiller' on it's pedestal. I grabbed it and it spread out and surrounded me like a black ooze.

"Gah! OH god! This is surprisingly painful!" I continued to fight it.

"Grimm just let it take control." said God. I stopped fighting and the ooze started fusing with my skin. When it was done I had this suit of armor on that showed my muscle and had this... alien like pattern to it. Kinda like the Guyver but... not exactly. The helmet closed around my head and I looked in the mirror. It had a smooth mask that closed from top to bottom. I had two big orange eyes and horns. The only thing that wasn't covered was my metal arm.

"This is... amazing..."

"This is you. This armor is you Grimm. You can do just about anything. Now time to be armed." The armor had shoulder plates and gauntlets with spike on them. Same thing with my legs and knee guards. The orange eyes moved sort of and they even blinked. How cute... Oh god I'm losing my mind.

We made it to the armory which was filled with weapons. In the middle was a pedestal with a hand scanner on it. I never really looked at my new hands. They had claws on them and armor protecting my hand and fingers. I placed it on the scanner and orange lights filled the area.

'Scanning... scanning... Welcome Painkiller. Please take your weapon.' said the computer as a door at the end of the hall opened up. I walked down the isle and inside to see paintings on the wall.

"We had a Painkiller before you Grimm but he couldn't live with his sins."

"I don't have a problem."

"No you don't. That's why your perfect. You can't die... forgot to tell you that."

"Sweet. And if I get destroyed?"

"You'll appear in heaven and we'll send you back." said Death.

Inside the room at the far end showed two things. 1. an old suit of armor which was gold and blue with a Trojan style to it. 2. A small one-handed axe with two sides. It even had fire carvings engraved into it.

"That's the Separator." said Death. "Strongest little axe that was ever made. The only weapon stronger is the Harvester."

"Your scythe." I told him.

"Ah so your a man who reads myths?"

"It's not really a myth if it's happening is it?"

"Guess not." I grabbed the axe and felt the surge of power go through me. I'm unstoppable. Crazy yet unstoppable. I put the axe on my back and the armor held it in place.

"Your ready." said God. "Oh just a heads up. Before we send you back to Equestria I want you to know that it's been a few weeks since you died."

"Alright." I told him. He and Death both touched the scanners of a door and opened it. The speaker played 'Shoot to thrill' by AC~DC. I jumped out and opened two large steel wings beginning my flight for Canterlot.

David's POV

We ran to the door and tried to open it. Than this mist appeared and the invisible figure turned into Chrysalis!

"I'm back!"

"Why?" I asked her. "Haven't you caused enough trouble?"

"I came to get an old friend of mine back."

"Stay away from that statue!" yelled Luna.

"So you know who I want?" asked Chrysalis.

"Discord needs to stay imprisoned." OH shit... Why is it the one time Dustin's dead this happens?

"I will take... what... I... what is that?" We all turned at looked at the sunrise. A giant scar appeared in the sky and a figure jumped out of it with large steel wings heading our way. I jumped for cover as the wall blew up. The figure appeared human in a way wearing this futuristic armor. "Who are you?" she yelled.

The figure remained quiet and realigned his horns on the back of his head. "Today is... June...9... 2012... Huh."

"Back off! Discord is mine!" cried the queen. The figure had this metal arm which he turned into a mini-gun and started revving it up. "What does that do?" she asked.

"This." I couldn't count how many times he shot. It moved so fast and spewed out bullets. The queen fell dead after splitting into pieces. Than the sound of locust filled the air. The figure turned around and jumped out of the wall landing in the middle of town as an army of changelings filled the air. He drew the axe from his back and started chopping up groups with one swings. It was a soldier built for killing and destruction. After a good 5 minutes of him shooting missiles and guns while slashing... he killed all the changelings.

"What are you?" asked Celestia walking up to him. His helmet unfolded to show he was a sort-of young male with long black hair, a small black stubble, and orange eyes with a purple ring inside them.

"I'm the Painkiller." he told her. He held up his metal arm as a cigarette appeared as he popped his pinkie down. His index finger turned into a lighter.

Grimm's POV

It was about 2 hours of me avoiding paparazzi and walking with the princess to the dining room. We all stopped for dinner as I sat in the seat all the way across from her. I didn't eat a thing. Don't need to anymore.

"Aren't you gonna eat?" asked Pinkie.

"Nope!" I told her. I looked over and saw Eden and Vinyl kiss. Vinyl cheated on me with myself? Really?

"What kind of name is Painkiller?" asked Rainbow.

"Title. That's what I do Rainbow."

"What?"

"Fight." I unfolded my helmet and smoked another cigarette.

"Do you have to smoke those? *cough*" asked Twilight sitting beside me.

"Yes."

"You don't say much do ya?" asked Applejack.

"No."

"Tell us about yourself." asked Vinyl. Well... let's see here... what should I tell them?

"OW!" Celestia got shocked.

"Don't read my mind." I told her. David gave her an angry face and she smiled sheepishly. I started playing with my hair. Well... for starters it was black or dark brown. Second it fell down past my shoulders. Since when was this? Also orange eyes? That's cool and all but... why? I guess to get me that... afterlife feeling God did this. It's actually really cool.

"Well?" asked Fluttershy.

"Well..."

"What's your real name?" they all moved their heads closer.

"It's Grimm. That's with two 'M's." I told her. Pinkie kept looking between me and the grass on the plate in front of me.

"I know why you won't eat! It's just grass. Humans don't eat grass?"

"Two things. 1. That's true. 2. I'm not exactly Human."

"You can say that again." said Rainbow. I teleported behind her and wrapped my arm around her neck.

"Say what?"

"I mean... uh... your better than human because your all robotic and cool looking." she smiled like Twilight.

"Uh huh. I'm an angel. Direct soldier for heaven."

"So what are you doing here?" asked Niko.

"Simple Niko. I regulate balance and order. When Chrysalis tried to take Discord I had to stop her before Chaos spread."

"How do you know my name?" he asked.

"I know everything." I told him. Celestia got shocked again. "What did I tell you?"

"Sorry." she said. "So what your just going to leave us?" she asked.

"I will when I'm needed." I went back to my seat and laid in it while on 2 legs.

"Your arm..." said Shining Armor. I didn't notice him and Cadence. "What happened there?"

"I lost it a long time ago when I was mortal." He looked horrified about it. "Is it a problem that 'someone' wanted me dead?"

"Uh... n-no! I mean yes!"

"Don't worry..." I whispered so only he could hear me. "I forgive you." He stopped freaking out and stared at me. I don't want to be in this world anymore... like right now... I swear there are other places with problems. I held out my hand and opened a portal.

"What are you doing?" asked Celestia standing up. I jumped in the portal and closed it behind me.

I looked around to see I was falling from the sky. I went through a large skyscraper and landed in what appeared to be a wasteland-like Time Square. Is this Earth?

"It's the traveler!" said a voice behind me. I turned around to see zombie like people running for me. "Kill him!"

"Oh boy..." I opened another portal and appeared in a crater. "Huh... A hole? Is this that one world where I saw Ponyville destroyed?" I climbed out and looked around to see no body around me. I started flying but I couldn't find any danger.

"Hmm..." I repositioned my horns so I could pick up receptions.

'And it's another great day in Equestria isn't it bronies?' I turned off the radio. That didn't help much. Kinda wish I had Alpha or Beta. Even Eden would help beat the silence. I stopped flying and started walking. The armor kept me cool in the hot and hot in the winter. So right now instead of sweating my balls off I'm like a Popsicle. I teleported to Canterlot to save me the boredom and kept my head down. I activated a cloaking device and walked around.

"Bye Lance." I heard Twilight say waving at that one blue pony I saw from before. I walked past him and found myself at what appeared to be a destroyed house. I guess someone had a bad fight. I then saw Octavia making out with an icy-blue mare with white spots. Okay I didn't expect that from her. I kept on walking till I got to the outskirts of town where I saw a green unicorn smoking weed. They have weed here? Odd... I'd rather stick to my smokes though.

"Hm?" I hit some kind of force field. I spaced out and ended up in a forest again. I placed my hands on it and tried to go around. "This place is boring." I summoned another portal and jumped through it. I was in some sort of arctic world now.

"Time to fight!" yelled a pony charging for Twilight's army.

"OH hey! It's me in the future! This must be the world when David didn't save me! Well I look *sound of beheading*... great... Next world!" I jumped inside another portal and ended up in a small tunnel. "Ah! Damn!" I crawled out and looked around I couldn't really see but I heard a horn behind me. I turned to see a subway train that ran over me.

"Well done..." said God from behind me. "2 hours and your already dead."

"It's not my fault!" I summoned a portal and stepped inside. I was back in my Equestria. "This isn't bad... Just need some getting use to..." I looked around and saw more technology than before. "Alright..." I grabbed a paper. "2098?!" I flew up and saw a large statue with many graves around it. The statue was of... guess who... David. The graves were of all the Elements of Harmony and his friends.

"Who are you?" asked a pony from behind. I turned to see a white unicorn with blue and black hair and red eyes. "What are you? Are you a human from legend?"

"Uh..."

"Wow! Wait I can't get off topic..." she started knocking on her head. "I'm Free Melody. You?"

"Painkiller."

"Well are you here for a reason?"

"I came to pay some respect."

"I came to say goodbye to my mom." said the filly as she placed some flowers on a grave with Vinyl's cutie mark on it. Oh god it's my kid... Time to get out of here!
