I walked over to the crying unicorn. I felt kinda bad... but I'm justified.

"Hey Twilight." I unfolded my helmet. "Hey... hey look at me."

"Someone killed my brother. He's gone... my BBFF..."

"Twilight... listen to me... someone killed him. Your right he's gone. But that doesn't mean you are."

"So I should *sniff* get a hold of myself?"

"Yes. Please. Don't cry anymore." she couldn't help but let more tears fall. I pulled her in for a hug. "There there."

"Grimm... what do I do?"

"Nothing. There's nothing we can do here." I turned back to my human form and lifted her up with my arms. I decided to take her back to her library. Tomorrow... well... I might have to tell her the truth. We will see.

I took me awhile but I managed to get her home safe and sound. She still didn't talk to me. I know what she's thinking. She's thinking I did it. Well... I mean I did but... I didn't expect her to think of me as a threat.

"Twilight... are you okay? No headache or fever?"

"No. I'm fine Grimm."

"Well I was just think-"

"Get lost!" she yelled slamming her bedroom door. Ouch. I turned back to my pony form and went for a midnight walk. This is the life. I can do whatever I want, I can't die, I don't need food or water, and I don't need sleep. Some would call it a curse but I find it helpful.

Meanwhile...

"Twilight! Why did you kick him out!" asked Spike.

"Because I need to be alone Spike. Shining Armor was murdered a few hours ago."

"Oh no! I'm so sorry Twi..." he said stroking her mane.

"Thanks Spike."

"I wanted to say I found something on your friend there."

"Huh?"

"In this book." He grabbed a big black and gold book from the stool. "It's about myths and legends."

"Read it then."

"Right here. The Painkiller. A savior shall one day fall from the skies with wings of steel and destroy all evil in order to protect the balance of the world. What does balance mean?"

"It means he has to kill good and bad ponies! Oh my... it was him... It was Dustin!"

"Dustin's dead."

"What? Yeah... I shouldn't blame this on him..."

Meanwhile

I walked past a hospital in which I heard groaning from the window. I climbed up to see Rainbow back in the hospital.

"Hey Dash. Hospital again?"

"Yeah..."

"That sucks. Hope you feel better."

"Whatever. I don't need YOUR pity."

"That hurts. Is it because I'm human? You don't trust me do ya?"

"I never said that!"

"You kinda just did."

"Then yes. That's why we all have troubles. Even though you look like a pony now we still see you as a human. A tall ape-thing who only likes to fight."

"Not all humans like to fight Dash."

"Then what do you like?"

"Fighting."

"Erg... See?"

"Nope!"

"Idiot."

"Oh I'm an idiot now? Okay. How about this..." I held out my hand and summoned the newest Daring Do book. "What do you think of this huh?"

"Is that-"

"Daring Do and the Obsidian Orb? Yes. This baby doesn't come out for 5 years. And I'm just gonna sit here and read it as you watch."

"I-I don't like books!"

"Good. Than this won't bother you." I sat down on the window ledge and started reading. I never lost my smile and I even chuckled a few times to make sure she knew I was still interested in the book. You can't just... read and not get into the book... you know?

"Are you done?" asked Rainbow.

"Yep!" I lit the book on fire in my hands and threw the ashes outside the window. "Now I wanted to ask you something."

"What?"

"...Are you a lesbian?"

Exactly 20 seconds later

"WEEEE!!!" she threw me out the window. Or more likely pushed. She couldn't lift me. I weigh 6 tons! I went to land but ended up on my but. I quickly changed to my pony form and got up.

"You okay there pardner?" asked Applejack from behind me.

"Oh yeah!"

"You remind me of a friend I just lost."

"What was his or her name? Was it Abigail? How about Jasper! I'm thinking it involves a D..."

"Dustin."

"Ah... That's a name I think I know."

"You met him?"

"You could... say... that..."

"How's he doing?"

"I don't really know. You just said he was lost."

"Right... So what are you doing now?"

"Well... first I need to write an apology letter and then I need to find a place to crash."

"How about my farm?"

"*gasp* Applejack... That would be great!" I picked her up and started flying for the barn. "This is it right?"

"Yes sir. This is Sweet Apple Acres."

We landed outside in the orchard. It was a great place I'll admit... far greater than anything I deserve. Why is fate so unkind but then decides to offer me the best in life? I wish I knew sometimes... but It'd be best if I didn't.

"If your gonna stay here I expect you to help around the farm."

"Oh no problem AJ. I enjoy doing hard work." I unfolded my armor into a medallion which hung around my neck.

"How did you do that?"

"I'll tell you later. You tell me what I'm doing."

"Your lifting these baskets to the barn." she pointed to the full baskets of apples. I picked them up with ease and started walking to the barn only to have Niko, out of all people, run up to me and start talking.

"What are you doing?!"

"I'm working! AJ is allowing me to crash here."

"You could sleep at the castle!"

"Uh... no I can't. You know... Vinyl and Eden."

"Right. Sorry."

"It's okay." I dropped the baskets and continued to talk. "How's life going Niko?"

"Since you left everything has been nice and quiet."

"Then I guess I shouldn't have come back."

"But you saved us from Chrysalis!"

"And I'm sure David told you what I did."

"Yeah... he did. Why did you do that?"

"It's to regulate order! And if I'm unhappy because the man who murdered me is still breathing then the balance goes all hay-wire!"

"Your linked to it?"

"I am the balance!"

"Oh... that makes more sense. So you have to commit to chaos sometimes?"

"Yeah. Think of me as Batman who will kill."

"Hey you done in there?" asked Applejack.

"Oh yeah! I'll talk to you later Niko."

"Alright take care now." I started to walk to Applejack. "And Grimm!"

"Hmm?"

"Just... be careful..."

"Fine."

The next hours were fun. I didn't know you could have so much fun as a pony on a farm! An apple farm! Earth ponies rule! I mean I know I have wings but... what's the point in work if you don't work hard? Also I don't use magic. Well for one its cheap. And two I don't have a horn anymore. Ponies would freak out if they saw me wielding magic Skyrim style. But it's all cool. My axe can use elements. It says here in this instruction guide! Right here... Chapter 295: Elemental treatments for your weapon.

"Alright we are good to go. Thank you Grimm."

"No worries."

"You'd think with a name like that you'd be all evil and what not."

"Yeah... he he.... right."

"Your welcome to stay here anytime you like. There's a spare bed in the cellar."

"Alright. Much obliged."

I went upstairs to the cellar. It was big and home-y. I didn't have to sleep but... I have nothing to do. With Alpha and the others gone I can't really... sleep now. I don't dream. I have visions. So that's what I do. I predict the future and plan tactics.

The next day

I didn't have a vision. I didn't even sleep. Time just flew by like a wind breeze for me. That's another ability of mine. Time. But I need to be careful with it. One bad use and BLAM-O! It's the end of the world as we know it!

"And I feel fine!" I said to myself dancing to the tune in my head.

"Are you okay there?" asked Applejack walking in the room.

"Yeah. Just seeing if I still got the moves."

"Did you meet all my friends?"

"Uh... no. I visited RD and I help Twilight home because... you know."

"Right. Poor Twi. And poor Cadence." Your not making me feel better AJ.

"It's hard to lose family."

"I know it is."

"Oh well... I'm going to visit some other friends of yours today." I told her. I turned my amulet into it's armor and spread my wings.

"Wait!" I jumped and started flying. "You forgot-" I couldn't hear her voice anymore. Did I forget something? Meh... as long as it wasn't anything important or that reveals my identity.

1 hour later

Instead of going straight to the castle I spent the past hour enjoying my flight and dashing through the clouds. God I missed flying... the freedom and grace from it is life changing. I went to the castle but none of my friends were there. So I went back to Ponyville. I heard laughter and gasping from the Boutique so I went eavesdropping. I hid in the bushes and used my horn to listen.

"Wow... I didn't know he did this kind of stuff." said Vinyl.

"He's a madman."

"If I knew this I would have never slept with him." Ouch. Okay they obviously found out something.

"So this Painkiller... he's been lying all along?" asked Applejack.

"It appears so." said Twilight. "I think he killed Shining Armor!" I knew that was going to bite me in the ass. Right beside the spot where Zeus nailed me. They must have found my journal.

"Look at this last page!" cried Rarity. "It's all bloody!"

"EW!" they said in a group unison. Then I heard Octavia's voice.

"It says... 'Not gonna last much longer. This is the end for me. I wrote this journal entry in about 9 seconds so they wouldn't see me. By they I mean the guards and Shining Armor. They're murdering me so...' It cuts off there. The blood is in the way."

They all remained quiet. Especially Twilight. I used this opportunity to scare them by kicking open the door as hard as I could.

"GIVE IT!" I yelled at them. Some of them tried to run and I used my magic to close all the windows and doors. "No one's leaving!"

"We're sorry!" said Pinkie.

"Don't even start with me." I picked up the journal. "So you know who I am."

"Dustin why didn't you tell us?" asked Vinyl.

"You shut your whore mouth. I heard everything. Miss I should have never slept with him. Hell you cheated on me with myself!" Vinyl stopped talking and lowered her head. Probably so I wouldn't see any tears. I looked over at Applejack. Now that I think about it the only ones I didn't see here are David, Niko, and the princesses. Also Derpy and the Doctor. OR Lyra and Bon-Bon. As well as Colgate and Berry Punch.

"So you took my journal and shared it with the others?" I asked Applejack.

"Y-yes. Sorry."

"*sigh* Now I'm forced to do this." I closed my eyes and held my metal arm out sending a flash of light through everyone knocking them out. It was something I picked up from Men in Black. But it has more of an are affect. "Well that's done." I put my journal in one of my side pockets and closed it this time. I left the room as they all woke up in 2 minutes. I went back to eavesdropping.

"What happened?" asked Twilight.

"We all fainted. Does anybody remember what happened?" asked Rainbow.

"Not at all." said Rarity. Ah... all's good in the life of me.

"What day is it?" asked Pinkie.

"It's Monday I think." said Fluttershy. Uh... it's Saturday. Fuck I erased too much!

I turned invisible so when they walked out they didn't see me. Well... at least I know that Vinyl is a lost cause. Maybe I should go back in time and stop her from getting pregnant. Or maybe I should just punch her in the stomach right now! Blame it on the anti-Christ!

"Ow." said Vinyl falling on one leg. Oh boy... "I think my water broke."

"But it's early!" said Octavia.

"It must not be Monday then. Quick help me." Twilight grabbed her and teleported them all to the hospital.

Oh that's fucking cool. Nice one anti-Christ. Guess it's time to see my baby.

"Where is she?" cried Eden running past me. Shit she scared me. God it sucks being alone and unnoticed. You know what I need... I need companions! And not these ones because they're... meh... dicks.

I went to the hospital and walked in casually. Well not really casually. I had a dance in my step and a beat in my head. I went to the waiting room where I saw the others looking in through the window.

"Hey guys..." I said and they all looked at me crazily.

"Who are you?" asked Pinkie Pie. "You look like that ape-thing we saw at the wedding!"

"Oh... uh... Well... I had better be off." I didn't get to see the baby and oddly enough I didn't want to. I'd rather do some Chaos Theory than get involved in this shit... you know what... I think I will.

Actually... I'm not that good at math. No not at all. I need to find a companion! Also I expect that the girls will remember who I am shortly. I need a companion who can work well with me and do horrible things so I won't have to do it! But who?
