Xander sat in a alley way breathing hard, and feeling sickness in his stomach. Xander ran a hand over his face to feel the facial stubble on his face.

    "This is how it is, you're body can't take the magic, that's one of the main reasons why humans aren't born with magic." Samuel said with no emotion.

    Xander jerked up and shouted "FUCK YOU!" He then reeled back from the pain shooting through him.

     Samuel shook his head "Ooooh, temper, temper." He said mockingly.

    Xander breathed heavily "Why would you do this to me? You're only son!?!" He asked desperately.

    Samuel chuckled "I'm not your father anymore. I was simply here to protect and serve." He then let out a sigh "Here, let me tell you a story. It's called, The making of a hero." He paused for a moment before putting on a smile "Once, there was a King and a Queen, they were getting sick and old, but they needed something to protect the world while they were absent." He chuckles before continuing "So, they brought the one being able to mentally and physically endure the worlds worst pain, without dying of course, to Equestria!" He moved his arms in the air to express emotion.

    Xander watched him with a hateful eyes.

    Samuel cleared his throat and continued his story "My ex wife was killed by a car, I had nothing to lose, I didn't care anymore, but apparently that's what made me so powerful in this land of peace. The king died and his wife took his left over magic and put it into a small little ring, but it was dull, it had death in it, so she put herself into it, and it sparked with life." He then looked at Xander with a smile before speaking again "She teleported her ring form onto the hand of the human that appeared in Equestria. She's the ring, it's not the hero that can destroy a world, it's the King and Queen, that just put their magic into a human, so furthermore I should tell you that they are inside of you, and that's why you feel this way. If you couldn't figure it out, The Queen is rebuilding you, she's making you into a destroyer with good intentions." He finished his tale.

     Xander exhaled and inhaled sharply "W-why so soon, I just got here." He forced out.

    Samuel chuckled "She saw what you did at the club, she knew right then you were the only human able to withstand this magic." He explained.

    Xander forced out "that doesn't a-answer my question" he then coughed up some blood.

    Samuel smiled "It's simple, she needed a place to stay." He then laughed. Samuel then wore a cold blooded expression that striked fear into Xanders soul "Son, you'll learn what it's like to die soon." He then got up and left, leaving Xander in the alleyway.

    Xanders vision got blurry and then focused back in "W-why me? What did he mean by that?" He spoke to himself. Xander looked down at his shirt and saw the faint glow of white underneath it "he wasn't joking, she really is rebuilding me." He said before getting a jolt of pain through his veins. Xander felt dizzy again before passing out.

    Everything was white, Xander was standing on white even.

    "Ahem." Samuel said to get Xanders attention.

    Xander turned around and hung his head with a sigh "Dude! You just left." He said before looking up.

    Samuel chuckled "I'll never leave, I'm your teacher." He stated.

    Xander gave him a stern look "But you haven't taught shit!" He said while crossing his arms.

   Samuel smiled wide before speaking "Oh, son. That's why we're here, I'm gonna go through some fighting techniques with you." He said while reaching into his pocket to pull out a knife.

    Xander stared at the weapon "What're you doing?" He said with a unamused expression.

    Samuel smiled "here, catch." He said before throwing the knife at Xander.

    Xander dodged the knife "What the hell, man?!?" He asked with a pissed off tone.

    Samuel shook his head "I told you to catch! Not dodge the damn thing!" He said before throwing another one.

    Xander reached out to grab it but grabbed the blade "There, I did it ha-" he stopped when he saw his pinkie fall off "Is that my pinkie?" He said before yelling with pain.

    Samuel shook his head "How'd that work out for you, dumbass." He said before snapping his finger, reversing time.

    Xander reached out to grab the knife but had the same result.

    Samuel got irritated "How about that neat trick that you got? Ya know, the one where you can slow down fucking time!" He said sarcastically. Samuel proceeded to snap his finger again.

    The knife flew at Xander very quickly, but Xander focused on it only to slow down a little bit before having the knifes handle smack him in the face.

    Samuel laughed before speaking "Here, try this, look at the knife and repeat the phrase I say, I want the knife to stop, I repeat, I want the knife to stop" he said before snapping his fingers.

    Xander saw the knife once again, flying fast towards him. Xander breathed slowly before saying the phrase in his head, 'I want the knife to stop' he then focused even more on it 'You better fucking stop.' The knife neared his face 'STOP!' He said before everything froze, he looked at the knife and grabbed it, only to throw it on the ground.

    Time unfroze and Samuel clapped his hands "Bravo! Bravo! I believe I want another performance my good sir!" He said before snapping his fingers again.

    The knife flew at Xanders face and he caught it the same way as before.

    They practiced that exercise until Samuel spoke. "Hey! Sorry to break the good news pal, but that little annoying fat bellied friend of yours is knocking on your doorstep. See you tonight, good luck, you're gonna need it." He said before slowly vanishing.

    "Xander? Xander?!?" Austen screamed with concern "Oh god, please don't be dead!!!" He said with a tear rolling down his face.

    Xander awoke with the same view from before he passed out, the alleyway of a apartment complex.

    Austen exhaled with relief "Thank god or Celestia! You're not dead! But you look like shit!" He said while rubbing the tear off of his face.

    Xander looked down at his shirt and saw the blood stain from early. "Yeah, I had a bad nose bleed" he said before standing up.

    Austen narrowed his eyes "Bullshit! No way you passed out in a alleyway from a damn nose bleed!" He called him out on his lie.

    Xander shook his head "It doesn't concern you." He spoke plainly.

    Austen crossed his arms with frustration "what're you hiding?!? Are you on drugs?" He tried to guess.

    Xander looked at him like he was stupid "No. Drugs are fucking stupid. Drugs don't even explain the blood." He said before taking his shirt off.

    Austen wore a confused look "what are you doing?" He asked with confusion.

     Xander looked at him without emotion "I don't want to walk around town with blood all over me" he then started to walk away.

    Austen ran up beside him "Dude! I'm your friend, you can tell me what's wrong!" He pestered him.

    Xander stopped "Look, I'm only protecting you, okay? Just go home." He said before walking again, while receiving a few glances from some mares.

    Austen ran up beside him again "Hell to the mothafuckin no, I'm not going home. I'm just gonna tell, Twilight" he then widened his eyes.

    Xander stopped and snapped towards him "If you say a single fucking word then I swear I will break your fucking neck!" He threatened before walking off again.

    Austen sat there with a open mouth and a few tears rolling down his face "Who is he?" He sobbed out before running off.

    Xander walked with a pissed off expression "I'm so fucking pissed!" He spoke to himself "First, I get the fucking unwanted hero placement, I have to then endure the fucking pain, and finally I have to lie and threaten the ones that matter most to me!" He rambled. Xander then paused "Why now? Why so soon? Why? Why? Why?" He repeated to himself. Xander took a few deep breaths, trying to stay calm.

    "You need to go to bed, make sure to lock your door when you get there." Said a motherly voice.

    Xander looked around him before realizing it was in his head. Xander thought for a few moments before deciding its best just to do what it said.

    The door of the library opened up, to be entered by a shirtless human that looked like he's seen better days.

    Xander felt weakness come upon him, making it very hard to climb the steps and lay down on the bed. Xander had locked the door like instructed. As soon as Xander relaxed he felt his leg twitch an insane amount. "What the-" Xander got cut off by the feeling of like as if his muscles tightened up, and straining against his skin. The pain was so bad that he could only curse a few times and take short breaths.

    Samuel sat in the chair in the corner of the room "Shh... You'll be fine, boy." He said calmy. "I know it hurts. It'll be over soon, but... There's gonna be worse than this, so you better keep pushing forward, because that's all you have now." He said emotionless.

    Xander took a few breaths before feeling the tension melt away, allowing him to relax his muscles on the bed. Xander sweated profusely and breathed heavily, catching his breath. Xander laid there quietly.

    Samuel spoke "It's over now." He stated.

    Xander blinked a few times before speaking "What's next?" He said plainly.

    Samuel raised an eyebrow "why do you want to know?" He asked curiously.

    Xander asked again "What's next?" He repeated.

    Samuel sighed and rolled his eyes "Death." He spoke without heart.

    Xander didn't respond.

    Samuel sat back in the chair calmly "Yeah, you'll be fine though. You're a champ, ya know?" He spoke with a smile.

    Xander stayed quiet.

    Samuel raised an eyebrow "Hmm... You okay?" He asked.

    Xander didn't speak.

    Samuel smiled "Good, we're making progress" he said before disappearing.

    Xander stayed there, thinking about the future and what it holds for him.

    -A few hours later-

    Twilight knocked on the door "Why is this door locked?" She said behind the door.

    Xander groaned "Twilight, I'm not feeling good, okay?" He responded.

    Twilight spoke again "Let me in, I can help you." She said nicely.

    Xander gritted his teeth "Please, just leave me alone." He said bluntly.

    Twilight didn't give up "I'm waiting" she said stubbornly.

    Xander then had a sudden rush of anger "Just get the fuck out of here!" He said in a hateful tone.

    Twilight responded "I just wanted to help yo-" she got cut off.

    Xander shouted "Help?!? I'm in pain! All I want to do is fucking sleep! I got sent to a new world, I've made a few friends, sure, that's nice and all but I've been cursed! I have to go through these fucking stages of pain that should kill a regular being!" He said without thinking.

    Twilight asked "What do you mean, "stages"" she spoke.

    Xander realized and came up with a lie "Humans go through stages of pain when they're under stress." He lied without a heart.

    Twilight stood there for a few more seconds before walking away.

    Xander sighed and laid his head down, feeling guilty about the harshness "Who am I?" He asked outloud.

    "The hero." Said Samuel, sitting on the chair again.

    Xander sighed before speaking "I hate you." He said plainly.

    Samuel threw up his arms "What'd I do?" He asked innocently.

    Xander plainly looked at him "You ruined my life." He said with no heart in his voice.

    Samuel dead panned "how? All I've been doing is trying to help you." He said with a frown.

    Xander gritted his teeth "Help? Dude, did you see what just happened? I just chewed out my best friend because she tried to help me out." He said with a pissed off expression.

    Samuel just stared for a few seconds "I'm leaving. You may want to prepare for what's about to happen." He said before disappearing.

    Xander sighed and got up "Always running away, that little shit." He opened the door and heard voices downstairs. Xander got close to the staircase before listening in.

    Twilight's voice spoke "He hasn't been around a lot lately and when he is he seems to be aggravated. I saw him come in without a shirt on today! I didn't talk to him because I wasn't sure what was gonna happen. Earlier I tried to talk to him but he just flipped out, he said he was sick." She said before sighing.

    Austen's voice was heard "Yeah, he was umm..." He paused for a moment.

    Jerald's voice came out "He what? You can tell us, bud." He said calmly.

    Austen spoke again "I found him in a alleyway, passed out. His shirt was covered in blood, but I didn't see any wounds. I tried to make him budge... But he threatened to break my neck. He didn't say it in a figurative way either, he said it with pure hatred." He finished.

    The library went quiet.

    Xander heard footsteps.

    Jerald spoke "I'm going to speak to him, I won't allow this shit any longer." He started to climb the steps.

    Xander thought quickly and got a idea. Perhaps he should use his special ability. Xander closed his eyes and focused in, imagining the planet standing still. He opened his eyes and saw Jerald at the top of the staircase, frozen. He wiped his forehead of sweat and slid by him, he went down the steps and went into the kitchen, maybe they wouldn't check in there.

    Time unfroze amd everyone/pony continued the conversation.

    Jerald had come back down the stairs a few moments later "He's not in his room." He said with a neutral tone.

    Twilight wore a face of concern "He's not in there?!?" She panicked. She thought before searching the library before coming upon a Xander in the kitchen eating a bagel.

    Xander looked at her innocently "Sup." He said neutrally.

    Twilight sighed with relief and sat down at the kitchen table "Xander, we need to talk." She said, taking in a deep breath and regaining her composure.

    Jerald nodded before sitting down beside Twilight, the same with Austen.

    Xander rolled his eyes "Yeah, alrighty." He went along with it while taking a seat at the table.

    Twilight breathed calmly "Austen informed us on your aggressive behavior." She confronted him.

    Xander stared at her plainly "Yeah, I heard." He then stared at Austen with a raised eyebrow "You're lucky." He then turned to a finger pointing in his face.

    Jerald was shaking his finger "No! I will not tolerate you're aggressiveness." He said in a bossy fashion.

    Xander grabbed his finger and twisted it, putting it to the edge of breaking "You will apologize now. You know not to tell me what to do." He said with no emotion.

    Jerald tried pulling back but his finger only got closer to breaking it "Okay! I'm sorry!" He spoke in a hurt fashion.

    Xander let go and sat back "Continue." He said while facing Twilight.

    Twilight swallowed and continued "I'm gonna have to inform the princess on this behavior. You have been violent and you've even been coming home with no shirt or no pants, or even with a blood stain on your face. I'm concerned, Xander, please, tell me what's wrong so we can work with this change." She begged.

    Xander inhaled "Look, I appreciate the concern, I really do, but I've been busy, I have more important shit to worry about that doesn't concern a princess, I do not wish to speak with her, so me and her shall not be speaking." He said in a simple tone.

    Twilight wore a expression of disbelief "How can you just shrug a ruler off like that?!?" She asked with a shocked expression.

    Xander answered simply "Because I do not fear her. I barely know her, and I'm not a guy to have my nose up a individuals ass." He answered.

    Twilight just stared.

    Xander sighed "Well, I'm gonna head to bed now." He got up from the table.

    Twilight asked one last question "Who are you?" She asked.

    Xander paused "I don't know. Who am I?" He answered before heading to his room.
