Prologue: You are The Future Of Our Military

    It was a rainy day in Berlin.It was a little after 2 PM when it started to pour down hard. And it was time for the kids to get out of school. A few of them had their parents to come and get them, but others had to wait out the rain and walk home. One of these students is named Myasnik Schwarz, a student at Stauffenberg Jr. High. The teens was leaning against one of the poles under the awning of the school, speaking to one of his friends with a warm smile on his face.

    “HA! Yeah, he definitely had it coming with all the homework and bullshit he gave us. I am glad he got fired. Though I still have yet to know why he got fired.”

    His voice was deep and raspy, as deep as it was for someone his age anyways and it was VERY clear he was a german with that accent of his. His friend nods and answers back.

    “Supposedly, he got caught getting handsy with one of the busty girls in our class behind the school.”

    Myasnik grimaced and shook his head.

    “Tch, pervy old man. I hope the cops put him in the jails with all the burly guys who will make him their bitch.”

    “Yeah, it would serve him right.”

    They kept on talking for a while longer, just passing the time to let the rain pass. But for some reason, it wouldn’t let up. Then again it rains a lot in Germany. So this was nothing new. But out of all the day to not bring an umbrella, it just had to be today. And he was getting tired of waiting. The sweet thought of steak and mashed potatoes in front of him on his dinner plate was calling his name. He looks to his friend and throws his hood over his head, It wouldn’t provide much aid, but it was better than nothing.

    “Alright, I am not waiting this out anymore than i have to. I am headed home, see you later.”

    He waves to his friend who blinks at him a few times.

    “You are crazy, bro...but alright, see you tomorrow.”

    Myasnik began his journey home in the rain, the sound of the city mixed with the rain. Cars driving by, horns being honked, people walking by as their feet splash in the forming puddles. And the thunder clapping every now and then when the lightning struck. Myasnik walked along the sidewalks, under any awnings he could fine to stay as dry as possible, but in the end, he knew he would be soaked once his got home.

    Hmmm...I hope I don’t miss that documentary on old german war tanks and firearms. Been looking forward to that all week. I also hope mother doesn’t forget to make the gravy for the potatoes to…

     The thoughts of this boy ran on and on on his way home. See unlike most kids his age, who worried about the next best thing in technology with phones, tablets and game consoles, Myasnik was more about finding out what the militaries of the world were developing. And he wanted to learn all he could about it. His father, who had passed away due to lung cancer from smoking too much, was also a military man. Must run through the family. But being in the military wasn’t exactly his first choice career. No, he wanted to design weapons for the military. Build the next best thing for the safety of his country.

    On his way home, he passed by the local animal shelter to visit one of his favorite dogs. It was a large german shepherd dog who’s name was Kujo. Really friendly dog, but especially friendly around Myasnik. He walks into the large play area and sees the large dog chewing on a green tennis ball, he smiles lightly and calls out to him.

    “Kujo!”

    The dog’s ears perk up at the familiar voice, moving around like little satellites finally turning his head to see Myasnik, his tail starts wagging non-stop as he runs towards him and jumps up, placing his paws on Myasnik shoulders and nuzzling and licking him affectionately. One of the staff members look over and sees Myasnik and chuckles lightly.

    “Come to give him a bit of company today again huh?”

    She asked as she was tending to one of the other dogs. He nods in response while petting Kujo.

    “Yep, always happy to come and see him when I can. I just wish mom would let me come home with him. He’d be a good pet and guard dog.”

    After an hour and a half, Myasnik left the shelter, of course, it was still raining. He sighed and shook his head as he made his way home again.

    “Geez...first the rain, and then the snow will be here very soon…”

    He turned down his usual shortcut, a nice quiet street that didn’t have much activity on it, little did he know that today, it was the perfect place for him to get taken. As he nears the end of the street a large black SUV pulls out in front of him and the back doors swing open. Two large burly men in suits and sunglasses immediately jump out and grab Myasnik before he had any time time to react. The throw a hood over his head and toss him in the back of the vehicle.

    “Was zum teufel machst du?!”<What in the hell are you doing?!>

    He shouted as he tried to struggle to get out, reaching for his butterfly knife in his pocket to defend himself. Before he could get it out however, he felt an injection in his neck which took effect nearly instantly. His eyes grew heavy and an induced sleeps was now consuming him. The car doors slam closed and the driver speeds off down the street.

--A Few Hours Later--

    The hood is pulled off Myasnik head swiftly, the boy is sitting in a chair under a large light surround by a large circular desk with shadowed figures eyeing him, a woman in a black suit top and black skirt approaches him. She had bright green eyes and black hair.

    “Wake up, kid, naptime is over.”

    She said in a thick russian accent, walking back and forth in front of him, waiting for him to lift his head. He does so slowly and looks around the room. He gives a serious glance around for a moment, then yawns and stretches casually>

    “Ah, so the government finally took an interest in my potential ideas did they? Or are you detaining me because I stole that one magazine from the adult store? I couldn’t help it. International Busty Girl is a turn on for me. I am a healthy male after all.”

    The woman blinks a few times in surprise, the shadowed figures in the back arching their brows as well. The woman clears her throat, maintaining her professionalism..

    “We do not deal with small petty thefts, young man. We have brought you here for another reason entirely.”

    She pulls up a tablet and reads off his details.

    “Name: Myasnik Schwarz. Age: fifteen. Attends Staufenberg Jr. High. Jas an affinity for handling himself in close combat quite expertly. Has few friends because of his natural glare which strikes fear into most. No really love interest. Hobbies include gathering knowledge about war machines and weapons. Spending time at the animal shelter. Your father was also a military man…”

    The info went on and on. Clearly these people have been watching him for quite a while. He stands up and looks around the room, placing his hand in his pocket casually while maintaining eye contact with the woman.

    “Alright, so what? You have been watching me the day since I was born? What the hell do you people want with me anyways? And can we make this quick? I got an old war documentary I need to go watch. Not to mention I am sure my mother is worrying about me.”

    She placed a hand on her hip with a smirk.

    “Oh,you don’t need to worry about that. For all she knows, you are now on your way to Russia for studying abroad. You won’t be returning home for quite a while, #6.”

    He arches a brow and tilts his head slightly, still maintaining eye contact with ehr however.

    “#6? What is that some kind of number you have given me or something?”

    “No, it was the number you have had all your life since you were born. You see, you are the future of the safety of Germany, Myasnik Schwarz. You and a few selected other children all over the country.”

    He takes out his butterfly knife from his pocket and starts twirling it around boredly.

    “Look, I am honored that you hand picked me from birth. But you don’t think my memory goes back to the day you poked me with whatever your goons injected me with? Besides, I don’t want to do field work. I want to create weapons and machines for war. Not use them.”

    “I am afraid you have no choice, young man.”

    A man in a black uniform with multiple medals approaches from the shadows. Once he came into the light Myasnik knew exactly who he was. Myasnik turn and chuckles lightly

    “Ah yes, the exalted General Fynn Schneider. I knew that someone as powerful as you would be behind something as shady as this. No one gets to where you are when they haven’t done unethical things.What the hell did you even inject me with anyways?”

    The man smiles knowingly and nods.

    “Certain things must be done to ensure that Germany will be ready for oncoming war, young man. Even if those things are a bit...unorthodox. You will become one of our super soldiers...because if not, I am afraid we will have to kill you.”

    This did not surprise Myasnik in the least. This was the government after all. They can kill anyone, even a child and cover it up as an accident. And it pissed him off. He closes up his knife and places it back into his pocket.

    “Hmmm...and me dying would prevent my future plans. Can’t have that.”

    He sighs and shrugs.

    “Well, honestly if i get mad about it it won’t solve anything. And with military personnel guarding this room with heavy rifles, fighting isn’t exactly an option either.”

    The man chuckles lightly and nods.

    “You assess your situation quite calmly and wisely. You have the makings of a natural born assassin. And we will nourish those skills over the next few months. Cooperate and do as we say, you will be back home in no time.”

    “Like you said, I have no choice. But you still haven’t answered my question. What was it that you had your goons shove into my veins?”

    “Quite right. You have a sharp mind as well, despite your slightly above average grades.”

    Myasnik chuckles lightly.

    “I may not exceed expectations in the classroom, but I am plenty smart outside it.”

    The general begins explaining what it was that is now spliced into his DNA, a lab-manufactured super soldier strand that grants its host super human strength, excellent dexterity, sharp eyesight, and even extreme weather resistance. However, there was a catch.

    “Should you ever decide to go rogue however, we have a killcode that will cause your body to be destroyed from the inside...and it will not be a very clean death. Remember that. Now, let us begin with your training. You have much to learn.”

    Over the next six months, Myasnik learned things that no one his age are suppose to know. Proper gun handling, advanced martial arts training. Stealth tactics, solo and team methods of taking down targets and sneaking through enemy territory. Finally, his last day of training came around. And this day, would be the one that changes his life forever.

    “Excellent work Myasnik Schwarz. You have completed your training and we have evaluated your strengths. You excelled in both long range sniping and close quarters combat. You have quite the high amount of patience for a sniper, and you're already sense of being alert was above average when you first started. Therefore, we see fit to issue you these two weapons.”

    Two men bring forth a sniper rifle and a sawed off shotgun and place it in front of Myasnik on the table he stood in front of. He walks over and takes the shotgun up first.

    “That there is a-”

    A 12G auto shotywith an LED and laser combo, powerful and compact. And a bolt action sniper rifle with a silencer and a scope that switches between thermal and normal optics. Hmm, very very nice indeed. However, the large knife I will not need. My butterfly knife will more than suffice.”

    The weapon expert just looked at Myasnik with a slight look of shock.

    “What? I was a weapons nut even before I got dragged here.”

    The general chuckled lightly and nodded, dismissing the others and walked over to Myasnik and lightly patted his shoulder..

    “To be honest, I had my doubts about you, young man, but you have proven yourself and your abilities.”

    “And I also got to play with all these wonderful toys I never thought I’d get to try.”

    They both laughed until…

    BOOM!!!

CRASH!!!

    Explosions and fires began forming all over the facility, the source coming from below the building several levels down. The power shutting off, leaving only the reserve lights and alarm lights on, darkening the whole facility.

    “What the fuck was that?!”

    Shouted Myasnik as he grabs the walk for support. Having slung his weapons over his shoulders just in time before this had all started. The general’s coms when off.

    “Sir, the portal! It has become unstable and it destroying the lab below! We need to get everyone out of here, now!”

    “MYasnik, you go and see if your fellow soldiers need help getting out of here! We have invested too much into all of you. I want them all out of here before this building collapses! Failure is not an option!”

    “I am on it, I have made too many friends here to lose them anyways!”

    He said before running off to go find the other children he had formed bonds with. These kids have had the same thing done to them at birth, and he had gotten along with them so well. He wasn’t about to lose them. He leaped over fallen debris and walls, the smoke was thick, and the fires were hot. He heard the sound of people calling for help, but he did not have the time to stop.He kept looking around to make sure he did not miss any of them as he went through the facility. After a good thirty minutes, he had gotten them all out, but on the way to the exit, the ground crumbled below him, sending him down to the very bottom of the building. The portal that had been so unstable swallowed him up just seconds before it self destructed and blew the building sky high.

--A Few Miles Outside Of Ponyville--

    It’s was cold and the snow was falling hard, the wind turning it into a blizzard. Myasnik laid there covered in scrapes and bruises from hitting the parts of the ceiling that hit him on the way down. He slowly stood up and looked around. Where in the hell was he? There was nothing but snow as far as he could see. He couldn’t worry about that now. He had to find some kind of shelter away from the snow, he certainly wasn’t dressed for the weather.

    He kept on walking...and walking. Soon the cold began to take a toll on his body and he began to grow heavy and sleepy

“Damnit...why can I be eighteen now…?”

    He falls to his knees, his eyes slowly closing, but not before spotting a cloaked and hooded figure walking towards him. That, was the last thing he saw before a cold induced sleep took him.

Act 1:First Contact

    Myasnik opens his eyes, his vision a bit blurry when he does so He blinks them a few times until they clear up. The first thing he saw was a wooden ceiling, and he felt the warmth of a fire at his side. He slowly sits up and noticed also that he was laying on the ground in a bed made up entirely of blankets and a large one over his body. He slowly sits up and removes the blanket from his body. He was about to get up when he heard a light humming coming from the next room. The voice was soft as silk and it was absolutely beautiful. Whoever it was that brought him here, she must be a beautiful woman, especially with that voice. He then heard her moving around, a smell caught his nostrils. It smelled of...hot chocolate! Oh man, after the day he has had, a nice cup of that’d definitely make him feel better.

    He pushes the blanket off his body and slowly stands up. He was definitely feeling a bit sore, though. The humming stopped as he started moving around. The voice spoke to him, and it was just so sweet and gentle.

    “Ah, you are awake now? Please, make yourself comfortable. I will have hot chocolate here for you in a moment.”

    He makes his way over to the couch and nods, looking around the room he was in. It was filled with bird houses and various other small animal dwellings. She must be into taking care of animals. That is pretty cool.

    “Thank you for bringing me here. It was very kind of you to do so, ma’am.”

    He said as he tried to lean in and get a good look at who she was, but it was so dimly lit that he couldn’t.

    “Oh, it’s alright. I could just let a colt like you perish out in the snow! I saw this bright light off in the distance. So I wandered out to see what was going on and I saw you. You didn’t even have a proper jacket on! It would have been cruel of me to let you freeze…”

    She sounded genuinely concerned for a complete stranger. His faith in humanity was restored...only slightly. Wait….’colt’? What did she mean by that?

    “Alright, it’s ready!”

    She said in a cheery tone. She began to make her way towards him with a tray in her hands. Once she came into the light however, Myasnik eyes widened slightly. There before him stood a tall curvy yellow pegasus mare with beautiful blue cyan eyes and a pink mane and tail. His thoughts on the situation certain wasn’t that of a normal kid.

    Hmmm...beautiful busty equine humanoid creature that speaks english AND is serving me hot chocolate? This is either a dream that I do NOT wanna wake up from, or the portal that took out the building swallowed me up before hand and now I am here. Hopefully it is the latter…

    He thought to himself before looking back to the mare, who looked at him with concerns, setting the tray on the table in front of the couch.

    “Are you alright? You seem like something is bothering you…”

    “Oh you know, just trying to figure out of this is a dream or not. I mean, here I am in the presence of an equine that has anthromorphic traits. Just makes me wonder if I really was brought to a new world or if I am just having a sweet dream is all…”

    She giggles lightly and shakes her head, going around the small table to sit on the other side of him. She takes up her cup of hot chocolate and shakes her head.

    “Oh no, you are very much awake..well now you are anyways.”

    She said before taking a sip of the sweet liquid. Myasnik picks up the other cup and looks down at it, it had whipped cream and chocolate chips on top of it. He brought it to his lips and took a light sip of it, he lets out a small gasp of surprise as his eyes widen slightly again.

    “Wow...it’s really good! I haven’t had hot chocolate like this in a while!”

    The mare smiles happily, glad he liked what she had made.

    “I am glad! Forgive me for being curious but...what are you? You are definitely not like any being I have seen...only if you feel like answering that is.”

    He lowers his cup back onto the table and leans back against the couch, looking up at the ceiling with a sigh.

    “Well, I feel I should ask you the same thing. I mean, I can tell you are of equine origin, but you walk on two legs instead of four, and you are most certainly more adorable looking than what a horse looks like back in my world. But to answer your question, I am a human...just an average junior high school student. I also get the feeling that I should be a bit more worried about where I am...but for some reason, I am just as calm as ever.”

    When he turns his head to look at her, the mare gets a shudder up her spine. That natural glare of his made her fur stand on end, and she hide her face behind her mane.

    “I-I can understand that you might be a little upset though, you look a little angry…”

    He blinks a few times and laughs lightly. He waves his hand, shaking his head.

    “Oh no no, I am not mad. This is how my face normally looks. I have always had a look like I was going to go psycho and kill someone. I get it from my old man. Good ol genetics.”

    He said as he just casually talked about his parents. It kind of frightened the mare a bit as he said that so...casually. Then he thought about his mother. He was a little sad about that.

    “Hmmm...mom’s not gonna be too happy when she finds out I am not coming home…”

    The mare could sense that he was indeed worried about how he would return to his mother. She scoots closer to him and lightly places and arm around him, running her hand up and down his arm comfortingly.

    “I am sorry...I know it is hard for one as young as you are to be separated from your family. But who knows, maybe you will get to return one day..hopefully.”

    He shakes his head, picking up the glass and stares into it.

    “It’s not so much myself I am worried about. I worry about my mother. After dad died, it took a very heavy emotional toll on her. And it was difficult on both of us…”

    He shakes his head and laughs lightly.

    “But I am sure you don’t really wanna hear about all that. My name is Myasnik. What is yours?”

    “Oh..I am Fluttershy, I am a pegasus.It's nice to finally know your name.”

    “Fluttershy huh? That is a rather adorable name, it suits you well. And a pegasus? That’s pretty nifty.”

    She blushes a bit and smiles looking away slightly.

    “O-oh..thank you. That is very sweet of you to say. By the way, you said you were in junior high? How old are you, if you don’t mind my asking?”

    “Oh, I am fifteen. For more months till I turn sixteen.”

    “Oh my, you are younger than I thought you were. Your facial features lead me to believe you were about eighteen.”

    “Yeah, I get that a lot. Ah, I meant to ask you. The items I had with me. You wouldn’t happen to know where they are, do you?”

    “Those heavy metal objects? They are in the kitchen on the table. I laid them out on a couple of towels so they could dry off from the snow.”

    “Ah, good. Those things are very important to me...especially here in this new world.”

    He said as he got up from the couch and made his way into the kitchen. Fluttershy got up and followed him and peeked from behind the corner as she watched him pick up the smaller but thicker item and look it over. The sound of a heavy ‘click-click’ was heard when he moved a part of it up and down just above the barrel. For some reason, watching him handle these items put her on edge. The way he stared at these metallic things made her concerned for him, though. After he made sure the shotgun was set on safety, he sets it down and takes up the longer one. He looks through the scope on the top of it and tinkers with it a bit, making sure none of the optics was damaged. After watching him for a while she comes in and watches from over his shoulder.

    “Um...what are these things…? I don’t know why but I feel like they are quite dangerous, especially to someone as young as you are.”

    He did not answer for a moment, but once he sat the sniper rifle down, he gave her a serious glance.

    “For the sake of your safety. I cannot tell you, Fluttershy. All I ask is that you do not touch them when I am not around. I am grateful you brought them here for me. The last thing I need however, is for you to get hurt in an accident.”

    His tone was serious. Earlier when he was speaking with her, he had a bit of a lighthearted tone in his voice. But when he spoke with her just now, it made her shake slightly. His accent sounded so….it reminded her of the ponies who lived up in Northern Equestria. Those tough, rugged warrior types. He then turns to look up at her, his eyes meeting hers.

    “In all seriousness, I am sure you aren’t the only one who know of my existence here. Something tells me that I will need to leave here soon and go into hiding. So tomorrow morning, I will be leaving. Hopefully, this blizzard will have died down.”

     He said before he made his way back to the living room and heads back to his place of sleep in front of the fireplace. Fluttershy, however did not like the idea of him leaving. They way he spoke to about himself and about the items in question only made her concerns skyrocket. She lightly took hold of his wrist as he walked passed, the pegasus mare looking at him with worried eyes and a sad frown.

    “You don’t have to leave you know. I won’t mind having you stay with me…”

    “That’s very sweet of you to offer,  Ms. Fluttershy. And once again, I am grateful for you letting me stay. But I have been military-trained to survive on my own. Besides, I will come and visit again. I promise.”

    Fluttershy looked down at him and closed her eyes, she couldn’t in good faith let him go, but at the same time, she couldn’t do anything about it. As he wasn’t her son. She nodded hesitantly.

-The Next Morning-

    Myasnik got up and folded all the blankets that he slept on the night before, not wanting to leave a mess for her to pick up. As he moves around, he wakes up Fluttershy. She makes her way downstairs and sees him getting ready to go. He was standing in the kitchen, slinging his guns on his shoulder as he heard her coming in.

    “Myasnik? It’s still early…”

    She said sleepily, rubbing her eyes.

    “You aren’t going to stay for breakfast…?”

    He shakes his head with a light smile. He approaches her and looks up in her eyes.

    “Maybe another time. Thank you for the hot chocolate. It was very delicious. And…”

    He suddenly wraps his arms around her in a hug, nuzzling into her when he did so.

    “Thank you for making sure I did not freeze to death. I owe you big time Ms. Fluttershy..”

    Fluttershy was on the verge of tears. What was he going to do? Where would he go? She hugged him tightly, not wanting to let him go, but she knew she couldn’t stop him. Then she had an idea, she wanted him to at least stay warm.

    “Let me give you something before you go…”

    She quickly walks to a closet and pulls out a light gray cloak with a deep hood. She walks back over and drapes it around his shoulders, snapping the clip on to secure it nicely. He looks up at her and smiles again.

    “Thank you. I am sure it will keep me nice and warm.”

    She nodded to him and gave him one more hug.

    “Please be safe, Myasnik...should you ever need anything, I will be here.”

    “Thank you Ms. Fluttershy. I hope to return soon and have some more of your hot chocolate. I truly was delicious.”

    By this time, Myasnik was out the door and on his way. Fluttershy watched him disappear over the snowy bank, a frown on her face and sadness within her eyes. Her pet bunny Angel coming to her to offer her comfort. Myasnik walked through the falling snow, the cloak was helping immensely, thankfully. He made his way to the edge of a forest. Knowing that there was plenty to survive on in there. He nodded and started walking into it. Half way in however, a large golden light appeared in front of him and a much taller pony appeared out of it, one with a flowing mane that had a full spectrum of colors, the same with her tail. She was like an amazonian compared to him, and the clothing she wore was definitely of royalty.

    “So, you are the one who came from that disturbance. Quite a predicament you are in, wouldn’t you say?”

    Myasnik stood his ground. Though clearly by looking at her and her clothing and regalia, she was the ruler of this land. He reaches into his pocket and makes sure he has his butterfly knife ready to be pulled out.

What was going to go down here?

Act 2: An Odd Turn of Events

    Myasnik, now standing in front of what looked to be an eight-foot tall mixture of a pegasus and a unicorn, just by both the wings and horn. And no mistaking that regalia, she was indeed the ruler here. He simply looked up and met her gaze with his, his hands hiding well behind the cloak that Fluttershy had given him. He slowly slipped his hand into his pocket, getting ready to grab his knife should he need it. Especially after what she had just asked him.

    “It would seem so. Here I am, face to face with this land’s ruler. And me, an intruder not sure what is going to become of me. A lovely pegasus was gracious enough to come and save me last night from freezing over. But I am unsure if I should stick around with you.”

    Celestia began to slowly approach the boy, her purple eyes still locked onto his. He doesn't move, he was feeling a bit intimidated by her sheer size, being of only five foot seven. But his recent training has taught him better than to reveal such things to potential enemies. When she was right in front of him, she leaned down to examine him, his features, his eyes, his hair. He back away a bit to give himself some space, still keeping his hand in his pocket.

    “I am aware that you were staying with her, young one. The question is. Why are you even here to begin with? Someone like you has never ever been seen here. And the only explanation would be that light I was made aware of last night. As i also felt a magical disturbance.”

    Myasnik arches a brow curiously at the word ‘magic’.

    “Magic eh? Are we talking parlor tricks magic? Or is legitimate magic really a thing here?”

    Celestia giggled lightly and teleports behind him quickly, he reacts quickly himself by spinning on his heel and leaps back a few feet, maintaining a good distance away from the princess. She frowns lightly when he does this, but understands his caution.

    “You know young one, I don’t plan on trying to harm you or anything like that. I am just curious as to why you have been sent here. That’s all.”

    “Well, I will tell you like I told Ms. Fluttershy. I didn’t have much of a choice. I was sucked in here at the last minute before the gateway that brought me here destroyed the facility it was in. Apparently my government was forming a way to get into your world. And God knows what would have happened then. I….don’t suppose you can send me back, huh?”

    Celestia shakes her head with a soft frown.

    “As much as I would love to get you back to your family, I am afraid I cannot allow you to leave. You have already seen too much of this world as it is, even though you have only been here for a day and a half. I am sorry young one, I truly am.”

    Myasnik sighs and lowers his head a bit. He was sad that he was never going to see his mother again, that much was sure, but this wasn’t the time to grieve. He looks up at Celestia with a serious stare on his face.

    “So what? Are you going to take me as a prisoner? Lock me in the dungeon and throw away the key?”

    His question was half serious and half joking, though he hoped it was the latter. Thankfully the sun princess shook her head and offered her hand to him.

    “No my dear. But I do need you to come with me so that my star student may learn more about you and those...odd items you have with you. You are the first of your kind we have seen come here.”

    Myasnik knew she was talking about his guns. He was a little reluctant to hands them over. But at the same time, he did not want to cause any trouble. If they could teleport, what else could they do? He slowly takes her hand and nods. In a flash of light, they both vanish and appear in a large round room with all kinds of scientific equipment. Beaker, test tubes all kinds of electronics. He comes out of the teleportation a little dizzy, that having been his first time. He stumbles on his feet a little bit before gaining his balance back. He suddenly hear a gasp of excitement, the source was a lavender pony with a purple and pink-striped mane and tail. She had a decent body, not too thick or too skinny, just right in the middle. However, those stockings she wore along with that black skirt, very nice.

    “Oooh so this is the creature that came here last night!”

    Celestia clears her throat and glared slightly at Twilight.

    “He isn’t a creature Twilight. He is a sentient being.”

    He felt a little insulted being called a creature, but at the same time he understood.

    “I am a human to be more precise. If anything, you are more of a creature to me, considering you are of equine origins. You are just cuter and have humanoid properties and traits unlike the horses back in my world. But seeing as you are able to talk and such. Your kind are all sentient and logical beings as well.”

    One could see the eagerness in Twilight’s eyes and where they laid. She was looking bat the long metallic barrel that hung diagonally from his back down to his upper leg, his sniper rifle. He removed the cloak at he had received from Fluttershy, revealing both of his guns to the two ponies.

    “Ooooh, what are those…?”

    “Something I recommend you be extremely careful with if you must have a look at them. These items are of great importance. And just for good measure…”

    He pulls the clip from his sniper rifle and slides it in his pocket and then removes the shells from the shotgun, sliding them both in the satchel he had brought with him that had extra ammo in it.

    “There we go.”

    He said as he sat both guns down on the table. Both Celestia and Twilight seemed to be rather interested in these items. They were so sleek and metallic. Both were heavy, but one was smaller than the other. Twilight picks the smaller and thicker one up in her hands. The metal was still very cold from the weather outside.

    “And what exactly is this thing? And why do I get the feeling that it is something you don’t find on a colt your age often..?”

    “That’s because it isn’t. In incapable hands, it is a danger to others and it’s bearer. That is why I removed the rounds that were inside them. They are weapons.”

    Both the mares’ eyes widen as he reveals to them that they are indeed weapons. Twilight was quick to set the shotgun back on the table and step away from it, while Celestia glared down at Myasnik.

    “And just what is a child such as yourself doing with these? You are too young to be holding these with you.”

    “What are you, my mother? These weapons are mine.Not like I was going to use them unless I had to protect myself anyways. I have plenty of experience with them.”

    He said as he slings them back onto his back once more. Celestia crosses her arms under her large bust and eyes the boy. He returns the gaze as well and then shakes his head.

    “Not my fault my government kidnapped me and forced me to become a soldier at the age of fifteen. It was either that or they’d’ve killed me. So not wanting to die, I chose to learn.”

    Myasnik may as well be up front with the ruler of this land, at least reveal as to why he had such deadly weapons with him. He’d keep his other sleeping abilities to himself for now.

    “You kind forced you into this…?”

    Celestia asked with a very unhappy look on her face, even Twilight wasn’t too thrilled of hearing that a child was forced into becoming a soldier. He nodded as a response.

    “Where I come from, especially now, rogue groups in governments all across the world have something going on usually. Though let's just say for now, I was chosen on the day I was born. That is all I will reveal for now. Until a few months ago, I was just a simple junior high student going through school and enjoying life without a care in the world.”

    He looks back to Celestia, his natural glare sending shivers up her spine.

    “So what’s going to happen to me after Ms. Twilight here pelts me with questions? Gonna consider me a hostile threat? Change your mind and lock me up?”

    She eyes him again, looking for honesty in his eyes. Where was Applejack when you needed her>

    “Are these the only weapons you possess, young one?”

    He shakes his head and reaches into his pocket. He pulls out a metallic item and holds it up so she could see it, wondering exactly what it is. Though after he flips the half of the handle over and twirls it around in his hands, it was clear to her that it was a very sharp knife once the blade was revealed.

    “This is all I am hiding, a gift from my father before he passed away. If you want to keep me from using my guns, that’s fine, but I will not let this leave my side, ever.”

    Celestia nodded. She wouldn’t take his weapons from him however. If he was trained properly in use and safety for them, what right did she have? The only issue now, was where he would be staying. As well as continuing his education. Everything that was taught was relatively the same...well except for history and such.

    “I will give you a choice. You I will reside in Ponyville and attend the rest of your education there, but you may either stay with Twilight, or her friend, Fluttershy. She seemed to had taken a great liking to you. That seems fair enough doesn’t it?”

    Myasnik rubbed his chin in thought at the idea. Going back to school with a bunch of ponies around or under his age, it certainly would be interesting. He has been moved around in many schools when his father was alive, as he was moved around a bit with his job, so adapting would be no trouble at all.

    “I don’t want Ms. Fluttershy to worry about more than she has to. The poor mare was more than unwilling to let me leave earlier this morning. Besides, if Ms. Twilight here is a real bookworm, then I am sure she has a library of sorts I can read through and learn more about this world. So I will stay with her...as long as she keeps the cutting and probing tools a safe distance.”

    He said shifting his eyes at the now excited Twilight who was holding a surgical blade, but then quickly hides it behind her back with a sheepish grin. Celestia blinks at her student and arches a brow. Then looks back down at Myasnik.

    “Very well then. And you promise not to use your weapons and not harm anypony?”

    “Sure, as long as it doesn’t count when it comes to self-defense. Then again…”

    He said as he twirled his knife around some more.

    “...This here is more than enough should anyone get any ideas.”

    He said before sliding it back in his pocket. She nodded in agreement. She wasn’t going to deny him of self-defense, though she hoped that it wouldn’t come to that. Something about him put her on edge. It was like if he was given the chance and reason, he’d become violent and would injure the pony greatly that attacked him. The way he twirled his knife about without so much as a hint of concern for himself was proof of that.

    “Alright then. Twilight, I leave him in your care for now. Please see to it that he is taken care of. Also, what is your name?”

    “My name is Myasnik Schwarz. But Myasnik is just fine.”

    Celestia nodded, though the name only put her more on edge for some reason. If only she knew the meaning of the name, she’d understand why. Once everything was decided and taken care of, both twilight and Myasnik head back to Ponyville.

    On the way there, however, Twilight pelted him with many questions. Myasnik chose not to answer them and just remained quiet.the lavender unicorn was all too eager to follow Celestia’s orders, but her new charge was just so...tight-lipped. Never has she met somepony so quiet. When he was around Celestia, he was a bit more talkative, but now that he wasn’t in the presence of royalty anymore, getting him to talk was going to be a magic trick in of itself.

    Once they got to the Golden Oak Library, Twilight lead him upstairs to the guest bedroom, which was now going to become his room. He walks in and nods to Twilight. He sets his shotgun on the table in the corner of the room, leaning his sniper rifle against it. He looks back to Twilight who was still standing on the threshold of the door. She couldn’t help but stare at him the way she did.

    “Forgive me for being so quiet. I am not ready to reveal more than I already have. Nonetheless, thank you for allowing me to stay here, Ms. Twilight.”

    At least he was polite. She had worried that when not in the presence of Celestia, he would be rather hostile. She was happy her thoughts were not realized.

    “It’s no trouble. And Twilight is just fine. Well...I will let you get settled in. I will be downstairs should you need anything. I got a bit of studying to catch up on. Get plenty of rest, your education shall continue tomorrow. As we speak you are already being enrolled into the Ponyville school.”

    “Fair enough. I will be here then.”

    Once twilight leaves, Myasnik walks over to the window and stares out of it for a good while.

    “I am stuck in a world that is not my own by any means, and I may never see my own mother again. I have mixed feelings about this. But, what can I do?”

Act 3: Unlikely Friends

    Today was the day. Myasnik was going to start his new life in this world. He was an adaptable guy, so this may not be so bad...right? Little did he know that he would befriend three of his soon to be classmates. And that their destinies would become conjoined from there on out..

    “Myasnik, you need to wake up and get ready! You are going to be late for school!”

    Shouted Twilight as she knocked on his door. However, the only thing she got back was more snoring from him. She lets out a groan of frustration and opens the door to find him...completely naked on his bed. That’s right, Myasnik slept in the nude, it was really the only comfortable way he could get to sleep. Having clothing on as he slept always made his body heat up uncomfortably. Twilight’s face turned crimson when she saw him. Considering he was only fifteen, his body wasn’t muscular and developed. Though for someone his age, he was rather well endowed between the legs. Then again, most german males are.

    “Oh...my…”

    Myasnik lets out a light groan as he slowly opens his eyes. He sits up in the bed and lets out a long slow yawn as he sits there. He turns his gaze to twilight and blinks a few times.

    “Ah, Twilight. Good morning.”

    He said sleepily. He gets out of bed and stretches as much as he could. Twilight however, was stunned in place and wanted so badly to run and bury her face into hiding. Myasnik looked down at himself and chuckles lightly. Grabbing the blanket and covers himself up a bit.

    “Sorry...I tend to sleep better without my clothes on...should have taken that into account since this isn’t exactly my home…”

    Twilight didn’t say a word. Instead, she covered her face without obscuring her view and rushed out the door screaming.

    “I am so so sorry!”

    After those words, Myasnik heard what he thought to be her bedroom door slamming. He facepalms himself and shakes his head.

    “Way to go, dumbass. Things just got a whole lot more awkward than they already were. Oh well, can’t get any worse...right?”

    He asked himself before making his way to the bathroom and slipping into the shower. Oddly enough, the way the shower worked wasn’t much different than his own world. It was like a mixture of modern and old times with this world. Though he really didn’t mind it all that much. After getting cleaned up, he got dressed and made his way out the door, not bothering to tell Twilight he was leaving. She’d figure it out soon enough. He followed the directions that were given to him last night by the unicorn to where the school is. On his way, he felt eyes upon him and heard whispers. Though he didn’t pay any mind to them all. He was good at not letting other bring him down with negative words. This was also where is adaptability came into play.  Myasnik has been around different kinds of people. He has been all over the world when his father was moved from base to base. Sure, these weren’t humans, but it didn’t matter. His skills worked just as well. All he had to do was keep walking with his eyes to the ground. And he did just that with his hands in his pockets.

    He finally made it to the school. Outside waiting for him was the teacher that taught all the student. She was a tall curvy mare with a violet coat and even brighter mane and tail. She saw him approach and gave him a warm smile.

    “Ah, you must be Myasnik. Welcome!”

    When she called his name, he lifted his head to gaze up at her, when that natural glare of his met her gaze, a shiver ran up and down her spine. She clutched her clipboard tightly to her chest.

    “W-we were just about to get started…”

    She said as she quickly made her way to the door and opened it. This was it. It was time for him to make it known that he wasn’t looking for any trouble for these ponies that were his age. And the only way he made that message clear to most was being as distant as possible. Should any of them mess with him, all he had to do was just intensify his glare and that usually had them back off.

    Knowing what it’s like to be the odd man out, his usual strategy worked. He walked into the classroom with his eyes on the student who gazed at him curiously. That deep blue cold gaze making the room feel fifty degrees colder for all but a few students.

    “Everyone, I’d like you to meet a new student of ours, his name is Myasnik. He is from a land far away from here and is now living in Ponyville. I am sure you will all join me in welcoming him to our class. As for who I am, I am Ms. Cheerilee. Please sit anywhere you’d like, Myasnik.”

    He knew it would be rather cliche, but there was a desk in the far corner of the room where there was most space away from the group. On his way to the seat, two of the student stared up at him with intimidating smiles and glares. However, Myasnik’s glare was more powerful than theirs, he stopped and glared right back at them, letting out a ‘tch’ sound from his lips before passing by them, leaving the two fillies a bit shaken up after that. The two in question were Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.However, three other fillies weren’t affected by that glare. In fact, it interested them more.

    “Alright class, let us begin our lessons for the day then shall we?”

    The class was just like his old one, full of the same boring lectures, just a few different things. By the time noon came around, it was time for the bell to ring. Definitely shorter days than back in his world. Myasnik made his way to the door after all the others left, not wanting to deal with the pushing and shoving out the door. Once they had all gone, he stood up and began to make his way to the exit.

    “Myasnik, may I have a word with you before you go..? You aren’t in any trouble. I just...have a few concerns.”

    Myasnik sighed, he knew this was coming. May as well get it over with now. He turns and walks over to the desk she sat at, placing his hands behind him and standing there like he was about to get a dishonorable discharge.

    “So, what is this about then?”

    He asked plainly. To Cheerilee, this definitely wasn’t a student she has dealt with before. She could tell how he carried himself, that he was smart, strong-willed and defiant. Good things to have for sure, but also not so good in a learning place.

    “I noticed throughout the day, you seemed to be rather..withdrawn from everypony else. And I saw the way Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon looked at you. I want you to know that not all the colts and fillies here are like them.”

    Myasnik sighs and leans forward, placing his hands on the desk and looking her square in the eyes. The mare leaned back slightly and lowered her ears. Nearly curling up into herself, but stood her ground.

    “I am going to let you in on a little secret Ms. Cheerilee. Back in my world, things aren’t as colorful and happy as they are here. I have been the outsider looking in before. And I will tell you now, I will not tolerate it from the others. Especially those two. The better they understand that now, the better the whole class will be. I mean you no disrespect. But I am putting my foot down while I still can.”

    She could tell that he was already mentally mature enough to think logically about situations that normal children his age would have issues getting out of. To an adult, it threatened their control over children like him. He wasn’t a bad student. It’s just when an adult feels outsmarted and out-talked by a child, it’s a matter of pride.

    “Now, if we are done here. May I leave now?”

    He asked in the most polite way possible. The mare simply stared at him with wide eyes, but then comes back to reality and slowly nods.

    “Y-yes, you may, Myasnik. I will see you tomorrow.”

    He nods and bows his head in departure.

    “Take care, Ms. Cheerilee.”

    He said before walking out the door and began making his way back to twilgiht’s. However, he was stopped in the middle over the schoolyard by both the fillies he has stared down earlier. They began circling around him with all the others watching.

    “Well well, look what we have here. Congrats, you are the new freak in town. And you aren’t even a pony!”

    Taunted Diamond, her friend snickering along with her.

    “That’s right, you may think you are tough, but you are nopony here. Just a freak without any friends. Nopony would ever want to be near you!”

    Myasnik lowered his head, hiding his face in his hair for a moment, then a smile formed slowly across his face. With a quick movement, he slid behind Diamond and grabbed her arm, bringing it behind her back and lifting it up so that she was in slight pain, but at his mercy. He then places the tip of his index finger to her jugular vein and stares at her Silver, who stared back in horror.

    “Now, you both listen to me. You cause me any trouble, and I will make your life a living hell. Do you understand me? I know by the way you talk and carry yourselves, that you are both spoiled, arrogant little rich girls who ask daddy for everything you want. So I suggest you grow up. Because the new kid doesn’t take anyone’s shit.”

    He then pushed Diamond away and glared at both of them now.

    “”Get out of my sight.”

    Of course, he was only scaring them. He wouldn’t really hurt them or anything drastic like that. Simple scare tactics. Though maybe he went a little too far with that threat. He saw the pink filly shaking violently as he friend offered her support. He walks passed the both of them quickly, not even giving them a second glance. As he makes his way back to Twilight’s however, he couldn’t help but feel like he was being watched.

    On the way back, he decided he stop by the park that was on the way there. Give himself some peace of mind before going back to remember that awkward wake-up.

    “Go say hello to him!”

    Whispered a female raspy voice in the bushes.

    “Nah, you go!”

    Whispered another with a southern drawl.

    “I don’t know about this you guys…”

    Said a slightly higher pitch voice. The ones in the bushes were actually three of his classmates who had seen what happened between him and the other two fillies. Myasnik sighed lightly and called out to them without even turning his gaze.

    “You can come out. I am not going to eat you, you know.”

    The fillies that were hiding in the bush slowly rose into view with sheepish grins on their faces. One was a rather well-developing filly with white fur and a mixture of light purple and pink colors with her mane and tail and beautiful green eyes. Another had a yellow fur coat with a red mane and tail who looked quite fit. Judging my her drawl, she must have been a farm pony. And last but not least was a tomboy looking filly. She was developing quite nicely behind her tough front, her orange fur with her wild purple mane and tail and raspy voice definitely gave a tomboyish attitude.

    “Eheheh….sorry about that Myasnik. We...are just curious is all. The way you handled yourself around Diamond and Silver had us wondering.”

    “Like I told them, I don’t take shit from no one. I will not be trampled on by two spoiled brats.”

    The white furred filly covered her mouth as she heard him curse and use profanity. Though it didn’t upset her. It was rather exciting actually. He seemed like he just didn’t care what people thought of him. And that drew all three of them into him.

    “Well, if it makes ya feel any better. They make fun of us all the time. It’s something we have gotten used to for a while now.”

    Said the yellow furred one. Myasnik looked over at the trio and tilted his head.

    “Why? You are all three ponies. Why would they give you any trouble?”

    “Well, it’s because we don’t have our cutie marks, We have been doing so many things to try and earn them it just feels like we are going’ around in circles.”

    “As yes, those marks your kind gets on their rear. Twilight told me that it is what represents your special talent. Don’t worry, I am sure you will get yours soon. But if you ask me, you shouldn’t be limited to one talent. That would be boring.”

    He said before standing up.

    “Well, it was nice to meet you three. But I must be off. See you tomorrow-.”

    Before he could leave however, The white furred filly grabbed his wrist. Had he been so inclined, he would have tossed her to the ground instantly.

    “Wait! Um...you wanna hang out with us tomorrow? We wanna get to know you. You just seem like you need a few friends is all.”

    Myasnik looked down at her and then to her friends. He lightly pulls away from her and turns away.

    “I don’t care one way or the other. If you really want me to hang out with you. I can. Just don’t expect me to be an open book.”

    The fillies smiled to him and nodded he starts to walk off and waves his hand to them.

    “See you tomorrow Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo. You three be safe heading back home.”

    “Byyyyee!”

    They all said in unison. But after a while it finally it them.

    “Wait...how did he know our names…?”

Act 4: Meeting The Rest Of Twilight's Friends

    It has been a little over a week since Myasnik was swallowed into this world. Equine humanoid beings and now attending school with them? He could only imagine what else would happen here. The day was his first weekend in this world, luckily they followed the same guidelines as a normal school. No school on the weekend. That’s right, Myasnik was still sleeping, arm hanging off the side of the bed and everything. He was sleeping soundly, just enjoying a good late sleep. That was until the smell of pancakes caught his nose and the sound of multiple voices coming from downstairs.

    “Well, I guess I better get some breakfast before it’s all gone. By the sound of it, seems like she has quite a large amount of guests.”

    He said as he got up and got dressed in his usual outfit. He opens the door and walks down the stairs sleepily.

    “Thanks for havin’ us over Twilight. It’s a good mornin’ for pancakes and hot chocolate.”

    Said orange farm pony. Who was sitting at the table with the others.

    “Oh indeed. And you have it nice and warm in here! Away from all the dreadful snow…”

    Said the white furred one. Myasnik heard them talking on and on until he entered the kitchen. Twilight turned and smiled at him lightly.

    “I guess the smell woke you up huh? Girls, I’d like to introduce you to-”

    “Myasnik!!!”

    Exclaimed Fluttershy, jumping out of her chair and racing to him. She quickly wraps him up in a tight hug, burying his head into her breasts and nuzzling into him affectionately. She hugged him as tight as she could, having been so worried for him since he left her home that day. Even Twilight as just as surprised as her friends when they saw Fluttershy react the way she did.

    “Oh, I was so so worried about you when you left! But I am so happy you are alright!”

    “Um, Fluttershy dear, I think you are suffocating the poor thing…”

    Pointed out the white furred mare. However, in his mind.

    So warm and soft...I can die now…

    She gasps and quickly releases him, but only enough to where he could breathe.She still didn’t want to let go just yet.

    “Ahaaa, so you are the youngen Applebloom talks about as of late. Name’s Applejack, Ah am her older sister. Nice to finally meet you, sugarcube.”

    The white furred unicorn mare remembers the name spoken and quickly rises to her hooves, walking over and cupping Myasnik’s face in her hands gently, her eyes widening and her pupils growing, visualizing what he’d look like when he gets older.

    “Oh my...no wonder Sweetie Belle speaks so highly of you. Such stoic and fierce eyes...beautiful golden locks. Oh my dear, when you get older, you are going to have mares riding your coattails. Even more amazing since you aren’t a pony. My name is Rarity, by the way, Sweetie’s older sister”

    This was a little too much attention for Myasnik. He enjoyed being fawned over by females as much as the next guy, but he wasn’t used to it. His shifts his gaze up to Fluttershy.

    “Um...would you mind letting me go Ms. Fluttershy? Your affection is appreciated and all, but I am rather hungry and those pancakes are smelling pretty awesome.”

    She said before lightly pushing himself away from her. Fluttershy was a little sad when he did so, but understood.

    “And it is a pleasure to meet the both of you. As you know, my name is Myasnik. I am staying with Twilight here until I am finished with school. Your princess was kind enough to offer me a place here for that..”

    He said before walking over to the stove and looks up at Twilight.

    “If you want, I can take over so you can spend time with your friends. I am really good at making these.”

    Twilight blinks a few times, surprised that he’d even offer to help here after how quiet and distant he had been while he stayed with her.

    “Aaww...you don’t have to…”

    He shakes his head in response.

    “I don’t mind. You go sit down and enjoy your company. I will have plenty made in no time for everyone.”

    “Well, if you are sure, just make about 8 more, we have two more coming over, one of them REALLY likes pancakes.”

    He nods in acknowledgment and begins making the pancakes. He does it like a pro to. Swirling it around in the pan and flipping it without a spatula. Just like a chef would. Twilight and the others watch on in surprise at how good he was. They move into the living room and start to talk quietly. Seeing if they could get any info out of Twilight about this human.

    “Where in Equestria did you find this hidden gem, Twilight? I wasn’t kidding when I said that he will be chased by mares when he is older. He is polite, handsome and quite stoic. And what’s more, he seems very aloof.”

    “Ah am pretty curious about him as well. Especially since Applebloom has been talkin’ about him ever since she met him they day he came to their school. He reminds me of one of those….’bad colts’ that the fillies are into these days. Isn’t that trouble down the road, though?”

    Twilight giggled lightly and shook her head. Finding Applejack’s assumption about him funny.

    “Oh no AJ. Sure, he may be distant and quiet, but he is a nice colt. He has helped me around the library a few times when I get the place a bit messy. As for what I know about him, it's mostly just his name. He is quite the hard book to open. Though I think it is just because he is feeling like he is unwelcomed here. After all, he was brought here by force. He isn’t going to trust anypony just yet.”

    They both nod and look back into the kitchen, then back to Twilight.

    “I am not sure if you heard. But..apparently, he got a little..rough with one of the fillies at school on his first day. Sweetie told me about it. At first I didn’t want her to associate herself with a brutish colt, but when she told me the whole story. I really couldn’t blame him. He didn’t harm her per say, he just...seemed to frighten her with his swift movement and words. Something about..”I will not let you trample all over the new kid.” or something like that. Sweetie said that he had her in this..submission grasp and placed his index finger to her neck. I am not exactly sure what that does, but apparently, it shook to filly to her core.”

    Rarity explained to the group.

    “Yeah, Applebloom told me about that as well. It was one of the two fillies who have been givin' her and her friends quite a bit of trouble because they don’t have their marks yet. Twi...what is he? Not as in what his species is, but...Ah get the feelin’ that you know something about him that you don’t want known.”

    That’s Applejack for you, nothing gets by her when she can tell something else was hidden. Twilight sighed and was about to tell them, when the door swung open with a pink blur zooming in.

    “Oooh I smell pancakes! Are they ready yet?!”

    Asked the bouncing pink pony, who was followed in by a cyan blue one with a rainbow mane.

    “Yeah, I am starving! I am so down for breakfast!”

    The pink pony wastes no time in running into the kitchen. This was bad, Twilight knew how Myasnik would react to a complete stranger running into the kitchen as crazy as Pinkie Pie would and quickly calls out to her.

    “Pinkie, wai-!”

    “The sound of a scream and a few items hitting the floor were heard. Twilight quickly runs into the kitchen to see Pinkie frozen in terror as Myasnik held his butterfly knife to her throat. That death glare now visible in his eyes. Twilight rushes in to defuse the situation.

    “No no no no! Myasnik she is one of my friends, it’s alright!”

    He looks at Twilight then Pinkie, then Twilight again. He nods and lowers his knife slowly and flips the blade back into the handles. Bowing his head slightly.

    “My apologies. I don’t like being rushed in on.”

    Pinkie falls back on her rear and continues to stare at him in shock, the others having leaned in and caught the whole thing. He puts his knife away in his pocket and offers his hand to Pinkie, who flinched when he held out his hand to her, but after a moment she took it, shaking slightly. He pulled her up to her hooves and nodded. Then went back to cooking.

    “It will be done soon. All I ask is that you be patient.”

    Pinkie nodded and scoots past Twilight to increase the distance between him and her. Applejack pulls Twilight by the wrist back into the living room and sits her down, crossing her arms.

    “Alright Twi, spill it.  No normal youngen should even have that kind of intent nor should they even possess a knife.”

    Twilight sighed and nodded.

    “Please girls, what I am about to tell you doesn’t leave here. The last thing we need is for this to get out of control.”

    Twilight explained to them that he was not just a simple school kid. He had been in military training and he was classified as and being forced into being a soldier back where he was from. How he was forced into this world and the decision that came down from Celestia. The rest of them listened intently as she spoke, understanding why he seems to act the way he does. Though Fluttershy seemed a bit sad about it the most. She could see why he wouldn’t tell her anything the night he stayed with her.

    “I never would have guessed those things he had on his back...they must have been his weapons. Had I known that I would have left them behind…”

    “He would have gone out to look for them, Fluttershy. I don’t know him all that well, but I can promise you he wouldn’t just leave such things out there for somepony to find, both for his and their sake. He may be young, but he appears to have excellent knowledge of these…’guns’ as he calls them.”

    “I can’t say I dislike him, even after what just happened with Pinkie. But at the same time, I am not justifyin’ his actions. He could have really hurt her!”

    Applejack said with a slight bit of anger in her tone, crossing her arms as she leaned against the couch that were all around. But it seemed that Pinkie stuck up for him regardless.

    “He did say he was sorry, AJ. I shouldn’t have run in on him like that. He was even nice enough to help me up. He can’t be a bad colt if he did that. It was scary, though..”

    “Scootaloo told me about him when I was hanging out with her the other day after school. She said that he was really cool and all. But still, who would have guessed that this kid has military training and is still attending school.”

    Said Rainbow Dash, gazing into the kitchen at him as he flips the last bit of pancakes, finishing off the cooking.

    “When I saw his eyes so...focused, it sent chills up and down my spine and my whole body went cold. But behind them, I saw somepony who knew how to smile. He needs friends  And something tells me he didn’t have much of those where he came from. I think Applebloom, Scoots and Sweetie will be those very friends he needs. And I will be his friend to, everypony is my friend here!”

    They all giggle and nod, knowing full well that Pinkie is indeed friends with everypony in Ponyville. Myasnik leans into the living room holding up the spatula.

    “It’s ready.”

    He said before leaning back in. When Twilight and the others come into the dining room, they all gasp slightly at how...neatly the table was set and how good the pancakes looked. He even sat out the toppings and everything on the table. Rarity was especially impressed by this.

    “Oh my...wonderful presentation, darling!”

    “I agree! MYasnik, where did you learn this?!”

    Asked twilight as she took her seat.

    “Well, I went with my father to military dinners with higher-ups a few times. You pick up on things like this. And when my mother came home from work too exhausted to make dinner, I made it instead. No big deal, really.”

    That tugged at the heartstrings of all of them, even Rainbow Dash.

    “Aw, that was mighty fine of you to help out your mother like that.”

    Said Applejack as she sat down next to Rainbow Dash. When they all sat down, all the seats were filled. This didn’t bother Myasnik though, his simply took his plate, slapped some peanut butter and syrup on his pancakes and headed out the room, making himself comfortable on the couch.

    “I wish he would have eaten with us…I would have gotten him another chair.”

    Said Twilight with a bit of sadness in her voice.

    “I think he is just too polite to ask, dear. He feels like if he asks too much of somepony it may bother them.”

    Said Rarity with a nod, understanding how he felt entirely.

    “But he doesn’t! I just wish he’d stop being so distant and talk to me!”

She said as she raises her voice a bit, but not enough for him to hear her. Fluttershy lightly places a hand on Twilight’s shoulder.

    “Just give him time, Twilight. He will open up. It may not be today or tomorrow, but he will.”

    She nods to Fluttershy and smiles lightly. They begin eating their breakfast.

Act 5: A Night Study Session Turned Sleepover

    Myasnik walked along the street on his way back to Twilight’s home, his bag resting over his shoulder and on the other side on his hip. It was like his old messenger bag he had back at home. He always thought those kind of bags were cool, and better than regular backpacks. Its has officially been four weeks since he fell into this world. And oddly enough, he is adapting easier than he thought he would. He still misses his mother of course, but other than that, he really couldn’t care less if he could never return back home. In fact, when he turns sixteen, he is going to find a place to apply for work. That way he doesn’t have to live off of Twilight anymore than he has to.

    Yes, he had the next few years planned out ahead. Though when he turns eighteen is where he is lost. Just what is going to happen to him when the thing that is still dormant awakens? And if left unchecked, will it harm him or cause him to harm others? He’d worry about it more when the time gets closer. For now, he has this test to worry about before the winter break comes along. Apparently they have this holiday that is similar to Christmas. Hearth’s Warming or something like that. Would most certain be a holiday he could get into, only issue is that he doesn’t really know any of the ponies that well. Nor do they know him. But that is something he felt was for the best right now. He finally makes it back to the Library and goes inside, placing his bag in it’s usual spot on the table by the door. Twilight hears him come in and leans out from her study room and smiles to him.

    “Welcome home, Myasnik.”

    He looks over to her and nods as he walks past and makes his way upstairs.

    “Hey.”

    Was all he said before he disappeared into his room. Once there, he closes the door and falls back onto his bed, placing his hands behind his head and stares up at the ceiling, mind wanders as he relaxes after a day of school. He slowly begins to close his eyes, the warmth of the bed starting to bring him into slumber.

    Myasnik reopens his eyes to find himself...back in his own world?

    “What the…?”

    He said as he looked around in surprise. He was back in his old room. Everything the way he had left it the day before he had gone to school when he was taken. He went over to his window and looked outside, rainy as always. Was this whole entire thing with ponies just a dream? His abduction? This whole entire mess?

    “Myasnik, lunch is ready sweetie!”

    That was the voice of his mother, calling him down for lunch it seemed. He blinks and looks around his room once more.

    “Y-yeah...!”

    He said before opening his door and makes his way downstairs into the kitchen and sits at the table. In front of him sat his favorite. A turkey and cheese sandwich with bacon and mayo with a side of potato chips. He sat down and picks the sandwich up and bites into it. Something was a bit off though, he couldn’t taste it. He looks over at the glass of green tea that was there and takes a sip of it, no taste from that either. What was going on?

    “Your mother seems like a very nice mare…”

    Said a voice that came from all directions of the room. He quickly got up from his chair and looked around. He did this until his eyes caught sight of a tall dark blue pony who looked like Celestia, only shorter and only slightly less curvy. Her eyes were a beautiful teal and her mane and tail consisted of royal and dark blue. It finally hit him. He wasn’t back home, it was a dream. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be here.

    “So then, you are the princess Luna I have been hearing about. Twilight told me that you may be visiting me sometime soon.”

    “Indeed, I wanted to see for myself what you are exactly. And my sister was right. You definitely have an unusual appearance. But not...unattractive. Though from what I can see, you have your mother’s hair and her eye color. But I am assuming your facial structure comes from your father?”

    She said as she points to the picture on a small table against the wall, showing a frame of a younger version of Myasnik with his father and mother. He quickly walks over and places the picture face down and glares up at the alicorn. This was his dream however and he knew it. The scene changed from his home to a hill outside of the city where he and his friends would hang out sometime, though the rain poured hard here as of now.

    “Why are you here? So you can learn more about me at your convenience? You are going to have to wait like everyone else.”

    Luna was quick to quell his rising hostility. She raises one of her hands up and shakes her head.

“I simply wanted to see who you were for my own eyes. Nothing more. My sister told me that I should wait to learn more about you when you are ready to reveal what you want. But, let me give you a piece of advice before I depart from your dream, young one. Do not push others away that truly wish to bond with you. You are living with a pony who wants to be your friend. And three little fillies who you go to school with have been worrying about you day and night. You may have been here for over a little of a month, but you already have ponies who want to be more than just what they are now. Let down your wa-.”

    “Shut up. Just shut the hell up..Don’t act like you know how I feel. You are home where you belong. With your kind, with your surroundings. Look around.”

    He said opening his arms up.

    “This is as close to home as I will ever get. A mere dream.”

    He then turns back to her. A darker glare on his features, but his voice is still calm.

    “I will tell more about myself when I damn well please. And I will let others in on my terms, whether it be tomorrow or years from now.”

    He turns away again and stares down at the city below.

    “Get out.”

    He said forcing himself awake. Opening his eyes and sitting up in his bed. He shakes his head and stands up, making his way over to the window and stares out.

    “Tch, Hündin…” <Tch, Bitch…>

    Ge said before he heard a knock at his door. He turns his attention to it.

    “Yeah?”

    “Myasnik, it’s just me. You have a guest waiting for you downstairs. She wanted me to come and retrieve you. She said something about a night study session?”

    He blinks and opens his door.

    “Has it been that long already? Alright, thanks for telling me Twilight.”

    He said as he walked passed her after she moved out of his path. He walks downstairs to find Sweetie Belle waiting for him with a smile, waving her hand excitedly. She was clearly happy to see him.

    “HIya Myasnik! Are you ready to get this test beat?”

    He nods and grabs his bag, sliding it over his shoulder and puts on his cloak.

    “As ready as I will ever be I suppose. I certainly wouldn’t want my grads to fall behind to where I couldn’t pass. But that’s about it.”

    They walked out the door together, Myasnik shutting it behind him, leaving Twilight  alone, but with a smile on her face.

    “He is on his way…”

    She whispered to herself, giggling before walking away with her hands behind her back.

--Carousel Boutique--

    It was just about sunset when Sweetie and Myasnik made it to her home. Both Applebloom and Scootaloo were already there waiting, sipping on cups of hot chocolate. They perked up more however when they saw Myasnik walk in after Sweetie. They both sat the cups down and ran over to him.

    “You made it! With the four of us tackling this, we will pass this test for sure!”

    Said Scootaloo with a determined smile and fist pump. Myasnik simply nodded as he took his cloak off and hung it on the coat rack by the door. After Sweetie Belle locks the door, she heads upstairs with her bag and motions him and the others to follow up.

    “Where is Rarity?”

    Myasnik asked as he walked up the stairs with them.

    “Oh, she is in Canterlot on business right now. She should be back home tonight though.”

    Myasnik shrugs. Pd that Rarity would trust Myasnik with three fillies all to himself. If he was that kind of guy anyways. Once settled in, they took out their books and began studying and tutoring one another. Each sharing their strengths in each subject son they could all get an edge. Oddly enough, math was his most strong subject. Sure he wasn’t super smart in other areas, but when it came to number and variables, he was all over it.

    “Um, hey Nik?”

    He looks up and tilts his head.

    “Nik?”

    “Yeah, it’s just a little nickname we came up with for you. We hope you don’t mind…”

    “It’s cool i suppose. But what did you need?”

    “IAh am havin’ a little trouble understandin’ this math problem here…”

    He stands up and walks over to Applebloom’s side of the table they were sitting at and then crouches down beside her/ However he was rather close to the filly which made her a bit nervous and blush lightly.

    “Ah, I see. Yes, I had trouble with this one myself. My only advice is to just take the problem one step at a time.”

    All three of them called on him from time to time when it came to math. Eventually it was getting late. Myasnik had to return home. However, when he looked outside, he saw that another blizzard had rolled in. He blinks a few times and shakes his head.

    “Dammit all. I have to walk back in that mess…”

    The three fillies look at one another then nod.

    “You know, you don’t have to leave. In weather like this, I am sure Rarity will understand why you stayed over. In fact I am not even sure that she will be coming home tonight after all. The train will most certainly not be operating it’s way here tonight.”

    Said Sweetie as she stood up and yawns lightly, stretching out her body pushing her chest forward, Myasnik’s eyes clearly seeing that she was going to be well endowed when she gets older by what she already has.

    “Well, Normally I’d have to decline the offer, but considering how much snow is coming down. I think I will take you up on that offer.”

    They all smile and cheer.

    “Sleepover, yay!”

    “Let’s all go and take a bubble bath together! The tub is definitely big enough for four of us!”

    Myasnik arched a brow at Sweetie when she said that. But shook his head.

    “I think I will pass on that. As much as a male would love that. I don’t think it’s such a good idea.”

    “Aaawwww!”

    They pouted in unison.

    “You three have fun, I am just going to go and find some blanket and make myself comfortable.”

    Sweetie nods, her and the others heading into the bathroom.

    “The extra blankets and pillows are in the closet just down the hall!”

    She called out, her and her friends already giggling and stripping down as they prep the water for their bath time fun. Myasnik wanted so badly to take them up on the offer. As much as he wanted to see them naked, he knows that Rarity, Applejack and Rainbow Dash would have an absolute fit if they found out about that. Then things would get complicated. Even with all the noise coming from them down the hall, he fell asleep. He wasn’t as comfortable as he wanted to be, seeing that he couldn’t shed his clothes, but that’s the last thing he needed to do here. Eventually the trio came out of the bath and into the room, still wrapped in their towels and they mane and tail still slightly wet. Once they noticed that Myasnik was asleep, they quietly walk over to him and crouch down, sitting on the back of their hooves as they watch him sleep.

    “Aawww...just look at him sleep. He actually looks rather adorable when he isn’t awake.

    Sweetie said in a whisper, a slight blush coming across her face

    Ah think he really is somepony special, girls. He may not think it himself, but I am sure that you all agree with me.”

    Applebloom added.

    “Yeah, he is pretty cool and acts like he doesn’t care, but something tells me that if we get to know him more, he may open up.”

    Sweetie then made the wrong move, especially with what was about to happen. She leaned over him to get a better look at his face, suddenly he lofts up and tackles her down by instinct. His left hand pinning her down by her right breast and squeezing, while his other hand was raised into a fist getting ready to strike down. However, he was not awake.yet, but when his mind alerted him, he opens his eyes to find himself straddling over the now naked filly, as he towel had come off in the mid-fall.

    “S-Sweeite..? What…?”

    He looks down to she the heavy blush forming across her face, lightly biting one of her fingers and her eyes starting to shimmer, her breathing quickening. Applebloom and Scootaloo now stared in absolute shock, their hands covering the mouths with eyes as wide as dinner plates and blushes on their faces as well.

“Scheisse…” <”Fuck…”>

    He knew that he was going to get in trouble for these and was expecting for Sweetie to scream bloody murder, but that never happened, instead she only looked up at him with a sheepish smile, though her eyes still shimmering.

    “Oh my...if Rarity saw this.”

    He quickly releases his grip on her and jumps up, getting off of her and remember just how soft and warm she felt.It was very very nice. But then he shook himself back into reality.

    “Well..uh...this is a bit awkward…”

Act 6: The Killer Side Emerges Briefly

    Today was the big day. Test day. The day that Myasnik and the girls have been studying for. He and everyone sat at the desks and began writing furiously as Cheerilee told them to begin. Thankfully, the study time that Myasnik had put in with the CMC had helped out tremendously. Of course, his mind did wander back to the incident that happened that night. And it bothered him a bit.

    Damnit, Focus on the test! She understood it was only a sleep reflex! I can’t help that I sense these kind of things while in my sleep!

    However, it wasn’t only he who had the event on his mind. Sweetie has been a hot mess ever since as well. The poor filly just couldn’t seem to forget just how...powerful and assertive he was, even though he was still asleep for the duration of the incident.

    Mmmmh, I know he didn’t do it on purpose. But I kinda wished he did. The way he pushed me down and straddled over me. I want him to do it again and again…

    She thought to herself, lightly rubbing her legs together at the thought while lightly biting at her pencil. Scootaloo and Applebloom noticed Sweetie and couldn’t help but giggle to themselves. Eventually, everyone finished their tests and were able to head home for the winter break. Myasnik was quick to gather his things and quickly bolt to the door before anyone else, avoiding any contact with the girls. However, they chased right after him. Sweetie called out to him before he could get too far.

    “Myasnik, wait!”

    She said as she trailed after him on the snow covered path, he looks back to see them all catching up to him. He sighs and stops, turning around to look at them with his usual unreadable expression.

    “Yeah?”

    She looks down a bit with a heavy blush on her face, then looks back up at him.

    “I am not upset about what happened, Myasnik. I need you to know that. I noticed that ever since it did, for the past two days you have been avoiding us. Scootaloo and Applebloom aren’t upset about it either. In fact they won’t stop teasing me and giggling about it…so please, come hang out with us. We were going to go to the local diner for some lunch. We wanted you to come along with us.”

    “Yeah, come on Myasnik. We both know yah didn’t mean for it to happen.”

    Applebloom said as she wrapped an arm around one of his, tugging him along towards the diner.

    “To tell you the truth, accident or not, it was pretty gutsy of you to do. I thought she was going to scream.”

    Teased Scootaloo. Walking along with the group as they all head to the diner. Looks like myasnik had nothing to worry about, for the moment anyways. As something would happen today, something that’d show the first signs of his awaking that would come full circle when he becomes of age.

--At The Diner--

    Myasnik and the girls walk into the restaurant and take a seat at one of the booths. This was a place he frequented himself when he needed a rest from Twilight’s constant pacing and sorting of books. Not to mention he was well known here as well. As a couple of the waitresses had a bit of a thing for the young man. In fact, the one that came to help him was a slightly older filly. She had dark gray fur and a white mane and tail. She was maturing quite nicely, filling out in all the right spots. And her eyes were a beautiful emerald green. She smiles to him as she approached the group, already having the menu he usually ordered from accompanied with regular ones.

    “Ah, good to see you again, Blue Eyes!”

    She said in a rather sultry and playful tone. For some reason, Sweetie and the others did not like that she was calling him that and fluttering her eyelashes at him. But they shook it off. She hands out the menus to the group and bows slightly.

    “I shal be back to take your orders.”

    Once she was gone Scootaloo stares at Myasnik with an arched brow, resting her arms on the table as she leans in.

    “So what with the nickname ‘Blue Eyes’, huh?”

    Myasnik looks over his menu at her, shouldn’t be have been clearly obvious?

    “Well, I do have blue eyes after all, maybe she is just bad at picking nicknames. I don’t mind it though.”

    Myasnik wasn’t oblivious to how the younger waitresses here saw him, he just didn’t really care. Either way, he was just hungry from the smell of the food now.

    “That test was a beast today, but I know we did pretty good on it. And now we get a whole three weeks away from school, finally!”

    Exclaimed Applebloom, bouncing slightly where she sat in excitement

    “What do you girls plan on doing over the break?”

    “Well, we are gonna try and find more ways to get our cutie marks now that we will have more free time than ever. We aren’t sure about anything’ else though.”

    Yeah. Though I am sure we will have lots of snowball fights and such. We can’t let that go to waste! What about you Myasnik? What will you be doing?”

    Asked Sweetie as she looked over at him, having being the one sitting beside him..

    “I need to practice using my firearms. Now that Twilight has generously gave me an ample supply of ammunition with a replicating spell, I can keep my training going.”

    “Trainin’? Forearms? What are firearms?”

    Asked Apple Bloom with a curious gaze

    “Something you don’t need to know about, none of you do.”

    “Where are you going to be doing this?”

    Asked Sweetie.

    “Classified.”

    He answered back.

    “Aww come on!”

    She said while throwing her hands in the air. A few minutes after they all decided on what they wanted, the waitress makes her way back to the table and takes out her little notepad.

    “What can I get you all?”:

    When Myasnik’s order came around, the girls noticed what he was ordering and widen their eyes a bit.

    “Double cheese burger with mayo and cheese and pickles and a side of fries and a large milkshake.”

    “Very good, our griffon chef will prepare your meal as always, it will be right out.”

    Once she stepped away again they all stare at him with a bit of concern in their eyes.

    “Y-you eat meat?”

    They all three asked in unison. Myasnik sighs and shifts his gaze to them.

    “Yes, I do eat meat. But that doesn’t mean I eat equine either. So you don’t have to freak out “

    They each let out a sigh of relief as he said that. Happy that he won’t be planning on eating them. Eventually, they ate and finished their meals and paid their bills. The make their way out of the diner and begin to head on home. On the way however, things were going to a turn for the worst when three older colts blocked their path. Both taller and looked far stronger than Myasnik. Clearly these were high schoolers. Myasnik looked up at them with an arched brow.

    “Uh...can I help you?”

    “Yeah, you can help us by not coming to this restaurant anymore you little twerp. Our marefriends are waitresses there, and all they talk about is you everyday we see them. So unless you want to end up eating dirt, I suggest you don’t eat there again.”

    Myasnik arched a brow at the colt.

    “If you marefriends have a thing for me, I could care less. Not my fault I appeal to them. Hell, I am surprised In appeal to them at all. But I am not going to stop eating at my usual diner just because you get all pissy when each of your girls give me bedroom eyes.”

    “Why you little…”

    The colt grabs for Myasnik’s jacket collar, which is quickly slapped away. While he steps to the side.

    “Look here, meat for brains. I don’t have time for this. Either get out of my way or-”

    He said cut of be a sharp pain his in back, apparently another one of his buddies came out of nowhere from above and kicked him in the back. Must have been a pegasus. They wasted no time in kicking and punching at him while he was down. He grunted and groaned in pain as they showed him no mercy. Sweetie and the others were quick to acted and started pulling and hitting the colts as hard as they could.

    “STOP IT, GET OFF HIM YOU JERKS!”

    They screamed, but they were pushed down. And with that, the attention of the colts were turned to them. Their leader grinned wickedly at an idea.

    “Hey boys, since he is messing with our girls, let’s mess with his…”

    Myasnik heard this and tried to jump up and get in the middle, but one of the others had him held down. Blood was dripping down his face from the hits he had received to the head and all other spots of his clothing showed blood as well. He lifts his head up with a glare of death.

    “You sons of bitches...they have nothing to do with this!”

    He said as he struggled, his heart rate increasing and his anger bubbling as they grab the girls roughly by the wrists and lift them up, they cry out in pain as this happens.

    “Stop it, It hurts!”

    Shouted Sweetie as tears came pour from her eyes.

    “You are all monsters!”

    Shouted Apple Bloom as tears fell from her eyes as well.

    Scootaloo was a bit tougher, but Myasnik could see tears starting to form slowly in her eyes asn well. No one was coming to help them, they all just looked on, hoping that they guards were called and would get here soon. The screams and pleas of the girls started to break something inside of Myasnik.

    “Töte dich…” <Kill you…>

    Myasnik's blood was hot hot hot, the inside of his body throbbing and pulsating as his anger rose to uncharted levels. This was a side effect of the injection that had been living inside of him since day one of his life. While his abilities weren't to be truly awakened until he was eighteen, enough distress and blood flow on the body gave into what is known as 'emergency mode'. Thus granting him temporary inhuman strength and speed. The military terms that told Myasnik was know as ‘Black Light Mode’

    “Ich werde jeden von euch töten!” <I will kill every one of you!>

    He shouted in absolute anger. Pushing the colt off of him with no issue now, sending him flying six feet across the ground. He slowly makes his way towards the others, reaching into his pocket and raws his knife. The look on Myasnik’s face was terrifying. A death glare from hell with his pupils dilated.

    “Ich werde deine Kehle reißen und deine Köpfe trennen und sie auf hechte legen…”<I will tear out your throats and sever your heads and put them on pikes…>

    In this state, he was only semi aware of what he was doing, the other half was pure anger and a desire for killing.

    “What the hell is he saying?! Bah, who cares, take him down boys!”

    They all charge in at him, tossing the girls to the ground roughly. When they get in close to Myasnik, he moves in close to the one on the right, his movements almost a blur. He stabs the colt in the shoulder as hard as possible, and rakes the blade down his arm, leaving a big gash in its trail, blood spraying all over the pure white snow, now defiled. The colt lets out a yell of pain and fall to the ground, clutching his arm in absolute agony. He wastes no time in turning around and sliding behind the other, moving in close and cutting the tendons in the back of his leg, causing him to fall to the ground, he to cries out in pain, trying to crawl away. However, Myasnik jumps on his right side and rears his leg back, literally nailing him in the ribs with a full on punt, sending the colt flying into his friend whom he had struggled to get away from earlier, sending them both into one of the trees. Myasnik then turned to face the other colt who had started all this. Though he he was much larger and stronger than Myasnik before, with Myasnik in his current state, he was not. Myasnik walked towards the colt with death in his eyes, twirling the now blood stained blade in his hands

    “Jetzt für dich werde ich dich nett und langsam töten…”<Now for you, I will kill you nice and slow…>

    Myasnik didn’t even give him time to speak, he then rushed forward and pounced on him, now straddling over his chest and begins to throw punches to the colt’s face, so much that his knuckle turned red and with each punch blood splattered onto the snow.

    “Wie fühlt es sich an du Hurensohn?! stirb, stirb, stirb!” <How does that feel you son of a bitch?! Die, die, die!”

    After a few more punches, he stops. He then raises his knife into the air and gives a wicked grin of his own.

    “Wir sehen uns in der hölle.”<See you in hell.>

    The knife plummets, but is stopped by three pairs of hands giving all they had to prevent the one they cared about from killing.

    “Myasnik, stop please! This isn’t you!”

    Shouted Sweetie, tears flowing down her face as she never thought there would be this kind of side to Myasnik.

    “Lass...los.”<Let...go.>

    He growled lowly

    “We are fine! Please, snap out of it!”

    Scootaloo side as she held onto him as tight as possible.

    “Don’t take a life over something like this, Myasnik, please!”

    Cried out Apple Bloom, giving it her all to not allowing the knife to hit it’s mark. It was almost there, but suddenly, a dark pink beam of magic hits him in the back of the head, causing him to instantly go unconscious. He falls to the side, his knife falling from his hand and landing blade first into the snow. Thankfully Twilight was made informed of the situation and rushed over as soon as she could. Though, a little too late to stop blood shed. The colts were immediately taken to the hospital, having gotten much worse than Myasnik did. The three fillies still held onto Myasnik, burying their faces into his limp form and crying softly This was going to be quite an issue once he woke up.

Act 7: Myasnik's First Of Many Hearth's Warmings Pt. 1

     Myasnik opens his eyes, he was sitting in a moving vehicle in the front passenger seat. Who was driving it though? He looked to the side to find his father at the wheel a smile on his face with a cigarette in his mouth and his arm resting on the open window of the door. He removes the cigarette, looking over at Myasnik slightly while still maintaining his eyes on the road.

    “You look good, kiddo. Seems like you are living quite the life these days. Even if it isn’t back home.”

    Myasnik crosses his arms and stares out the window, watching the green fields roll by as they drove.

    “Tch. What the hell are you doing here, old man?Shouldn’t you be...wherever the hell you went when you died?”

    Myasnik and his father didn’t part on very good terms before his death. As he got closer to death, he became mean and nearly violent. He never did hit his mother, but he did degrade her verbally quite a lot. At least he never laid a hand on her in a harmful way though. He knew better than to do that.

    “Come on, Myasnik. Is that any way to treat your father?”

    “What do you want? I know this isn’t real so say what you want to say and get the hell out of my head.”

    “He chuckles lightly and continues driving, the engine of the old school muscle car roaring as he stepped on the gas a bit more.

    “While this is inside your head, I am very much here, Myasnik. Granted for a small time, but I am here. As for what I have to say. You certainly did a number of those equine beings, didn’t you? And you handle that knife so efficiently. I am quite proud of you for honing your skills. But the fact you almost took a life as young as you are out of anger doesn’t sit right with me..”

    “Yeah right, coming from the guy who got the highest record of headshots when he was in the army. Don’t feed me your hypocrisy, old man.”

    “I am not saying there won’t be a time where you won’t need to kill, son. You will run into many life or death situations in the world you are in. Hell, I am surprised about our damn government was hiding a fucking portal of sorts. I knew technology was advancing, but shit. Also, about the whole being genetically altered thing. I knew about it. And I am sorry I didn’t tell you about it.but my hands were tied. And if the cancer hadn’t taken me from you and your mother. Well...things may have happened differently.’

    ‘You have no right to talk about her after the way you treated her. I know you never raised a hand against her, but the things you said to ehr. She cried every night when you weren’t around. In all honesty, after that, I am glad you are dead.’

    The car comes to a stop on an overlook, below there was a lush green field with a few cattle munching on the grass. His father just sighed and sat back in the seat after turning off the motor.

    ‘Look myasnik, i know what i did was wrong. And i am truly sorry. But i am only here to give you advice. Don’t bottle up your feelings around others, let these beings into your life. You will need them more than you could ever know.’

    ‘I will let them in when I damn well please. Don’t feed me the same garbage she did.’

    He gets out of the car and slams the door behind hi,m, he looks behind him at his father.

    ‘I hate you, old man. Your damn addiction drove our family apart in the long run. I will see you in hell when I get there.’

    “Heh, oh no son. I am not in hell otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to come and see you like this.”

    “Tch...so they let people like you into the promised land? Geez, they are really lowering their standards. Anyways, I am out of here. See ya.”

    And with that, Myasnik slowly reopens his eyes back in the physical world. He slowly sits up and grunts in slight pain. His bruises were pretty sore from the beating he had taken, but he knew the others were way worse off. The only thing he really questioned himself is why he got so furious when he saw the girls being hurt. Granted, he would have found a way to help them either way. But what happened when his anger spiraled out of control. He won’t lie to himself, he cares for them very much. Even though he doesn’t really show it. But, to go into black light mode, that is something he thought would never really happen. He gets up and starts moving around. He needed some time to think about what had happened.

    Once he was fully dressed and his guns slinged onto his back, he grabs his cloak and heads out after grabbing a couple boxes of ammunition. It was early morning, so Twilight was still asleep. He quietly makes his way outside the door of the library and makes his way to the secret spot where he had set up his own target range and campsite, just in case he needed to get away from things like what had happened. He makes his way away from the city and to a far off area, he left markers in certain spots along the way that couldn’t be hidden by the snow, but also that no other could indicate what it was.

    He was actually pretty lucky in creating his ‘outpost’. There was a small, abandoned shack he had found and made it his own. He figured he’d use it to get out of the snow since it was there, and the roof had small openings, so he could start a fire and the smoke will just vent out. A nice little getaway that only he knew about. A place for him to come and think while emptying a few rounds.

    Myasnik goes to his spot in front of the range. He had targets set on a few trees, each ten meters away from the last. He gets down into a prone position and settles in as he brings his sniper rifle up in front. He lines up the shot carefully, takes in a deep breath and holds it. He squeezes the trigger.

    BANG!

        He alters to the next target...

        BANG!

        To the next...

        BANG!

       Again..

       BANG!

        And again...

        BANG!

        And the final round...

        BANG!

    He removes the empty clip and places it beside him where he was going to pile them up. He was pretty much on autopilot at the moment, while he was shooting, his mind was fixed on everything else that had happened.

    You are a damned idiot...losing your temper like that is going to get you into some serious shit with their leader…

    He slides another clip in and begins to process over again.

     But no one was coming to help. They all stood by and just watched. I couldn’t let them hurt Sweetie and the others…

    He kept on rolling it around in his head as he emptied clip after clip. By the time he was down to his few last clips, a pile of emptied shells had formed beside him. And someone else had also made their presence aware to him.

    “So this is where you went off to. Already up and about after what happened are we?”

    Myasnik sighed and knew that voice, of course, she’d find him, even if his rifle was silenced, she’d be able to find him easily. He puts in a fresh clip and then puts the gun on safety, he slings it back onto his back and begins packing the empty clips away.

    “So what? You’ve come to blame me for coming to the defense of three little girls who no one else had to balls to come help or just didn’t care? Gonna make an example out of me with public execution?”

    The princess of the sun understood why he thought she would do such a thing. He thought he had broken the rules that were laid down when he first came here. But she knew as she heard each side of the story from the Scootaloo and the others. But she was curious why the reason had triggered him to go into such a violent state. She walks over and kneels beside him carefully, watching him collect the clips and the empty shell.

    “You were within your right, Myasnik, this is clear. But I am curious as to why you reacted so violently. Was it because your friends were in danger? And that you saw no other way out? The colts you confronted were much larger and stronger than you are. And yet, they had excessive damage done to them. More than you had.Was it just a simple case of adrenaline and desperation to save them? Or is it something that involves what you explained to me when you first came here?”

    Myasnik sighed and sat down after placing the empty clips and shells into his leather bag. Nothing gets by her it seemed.

    “It is something that involves it, yes. Are you so eager to know more of something so unethical? The creation of a super soldier is bound to have some quirks along the way. But if you want to know, I will tell you.”

    He went on to explain about the ‘black light mode’ and what could possibly trigger it, which only validated her suspicions on why it happened. Sh listened to him intently, waiting patiently for him to finish.

    “So then, when you came under a great deal of stress, mixed with the desperation and drive to save the fillies, then is…’black light mode’ was triggered. Has this ever happened before?”

    He shakes his head in response

    “That was the first time. Though something else tells me you didn’t come up here to only inquire about the incident. I know what today is. But I have no reason to celebrate it. I have no family to celebrate it with. So I figured I’d spend it out here, return to Ponyville tomorrow afternoon and just go about living life.”

    Suddenly the princess gently brings her hands to gently cup his jaw. He blinks a few times her her beautiful purple eyes lock with his.

    “It’s true, Myasnik. Your family isn’t here to celebrate this wonderful holiday, nor will they ever be…”

    She gives him a gentle smile and rubs his cheeks with her thumbs.

    “...but you have ponies here who care for you greatly. Twilight worries about you day and night. Fluttershy does as well. And those sweet fillies you fought to protect admire you so. They may not be family by blood. But they love you, Myasnik. Even after they saw the side of you from yesterday, that doesn’t change their feelings.”

    Myasnik knew that in the bottom of his heart, she was right. They have been so patient with him, and have been there for him. Especially when he never even asked. He pulls away from her gentle grasp and turns away.

    “Their kindness hasn’t gone unnoticed, nor unappreciated. I just don’t think I should open myself up because they are friendly with me. I know this is a different world, but so was mine. If you went to mine and could never come back, you’d learn real fast why I am always so guarded, why i don’t let others in.”

    She frowns slightly as he pulls away. She sighs lightly and nods.

    “You are right. I don’t know, and I probably never will. But you need to understand also that while there is conflict in this world as well, this is a new slate for you. Go and be with them, Myasnik. I am sure by now, Twilight is completely worried about you and wondering why you left.”

    Myasnik sighed and looked down at his last clip he had in his hand, then looks back to Celestia.

    “Fine, I will go back. But before i do, I am emptying these rounds.”

    He said before grabbing his sniper rifle and gets back into the prone position. He clicks the safety off but then noticed Celestia watching him observantly.

    “I recommend covering your ears. If you aren’t used to hearing a gun discharge, it’s gonna hurt.”

    Celestia shook her head with a light smile.

    “I have heard louder sounds in my time. Besides, I am curious as to how this weapon of yours works.”

    Myasnik shrugs and focuses his attention back on his homemade targets. He looks back to Celestia who seemed to be genuinely curious. He then turns his gaze to the scope and squeezes the trigger.

    BANG!

    While the sound didn’t hurt her ears, it certainly surprised her. But the only thing she saw was the muzzle flash and then a large chunk of the target fly off the tree. But she didn’t see anything make the connection.

    “Is...this some kind of magical weapon that shoots magic that can’t be seen…?”

    Myasnik could help but give a light chuckle at that. That was adorable. He sits up and motions her over.

    “You want to give it a go?”

    She widens her eyes with a small smile, clearly excited about the idea.

    “C-could I?”

    He nods and pats the spot where he was laying. She makes her way over and takes the gun carefully into her hands. Myasnik climbs on top of her and straddles above her back, this startles her a bit

    “W-what are you..?”

    “I need to show you how to use the prone position correctly, I am afraid this is the only way since...well you are much bigger than I.”

    She gives a light ‘oooh’ then nods. Myasnik reaches over and places his hands above hers, lightly guiding then along the gun’s length and placing her hands on the right spots and brings the butt of the gun to her shoulder. He lightly placed his index finger over hers just above the trigger.

    “Now, look through the scope here. And focus on the target. You want to hit the innermost circle. Hit that and you get a perfect shot. Before you shoot however, take a deep breath, take it nice and easy. And when you are ready to shoot, hold your breath and steady your aim, then squeeze the trigger.”

    She nods, very nervous about this first shot, her heart was beating heavily. So much that Myasnik could feel it against his chest. He brings his left index finger to her neck and presses down on a pressure point gently.

    “Calm down...breathe. Only when you take the shot is when you hold your breath.”

    When he pressed down on the pressure point, she could feel her heart rate dropping and her mind calming. She nods and gives it full focus. She squeezes the trigger.

    BANG!

    The bullet hit the second innermost circle. She takes in a gasp of joy and smiles widely. Myasnik was greatly impressed with her first shot.

    “AH! I almost got it!”

    The way she said that, like a child finding out something amazing for the first time, was absolutely adorable. Myasnik gave a half smile

    “Not bad princess. But remember, this is a weapon for killing. While it is fun to shoot at fake targets, remember this is used for taking lives.”

    Myasnik didn’t want to ruin her fun, but he felt he had to make it clear. Eventually she helped him finish off the last bit of ammo he had. He packed everything up and began to head back to Ponyville. She called out to him.

    “Myasnik!”

    “Hm?”

    “Happy hearth’s Warming Eve….and thank you it was surprisingly fun.”

    “Yeah, take care princess. Happy Hearth's Warming Eve to you as well.”

    With that, she vanishes, and Myasnik makes his way back.

Act 8: Myasnik's First Of Many Hearth's Warmings Pt. 2

    Myasnik walked down the path that leads back to Ponyville. Celestia’s words still rang in his mind as he got closer to the city, closer to Twilight and the others. What was he going to even do for the holiday? He can’t really buy anything nice for anyone nor does he know the customs. Sure, it resembles Christmas in a way, but everything is done slightly different.

    “Whatever. I suppose if anything I can just roll with the punches and hope this holiday goes by quickly. Should I enjoy myself or not makes no difference.”

    He said to himself as he walked through the streets. Every house was decorated for the holiday, bells ornaments, lights, ribbon, the works. It definitely did resemble Christmas. It brought a few fond memories to Myasnik, but he quickly suppressed them. Now isn’t the time to be feeling sentimental. He eventually reached the library and opens the door to find a pacing Twilight with a worried look on her face. Though when she heard the footstep of Myasnik, she looked at him  with wide eyes.

    “Y-you are back…”

    “Yeah, of course, I am.”

    He said as he takes off his cloak and hangs it on the coat rack. Twilight runs up to him ready to pounce on him and hug him tightly, but she sees that he had his guns with him and backed away slightly.

    “Where...did you go..with those?”

    “Don’t worry about it. I needed to think and blow off some steam. I went to a place where even you wouldn’t be able to find me.”

    He said before heading upstairs to place his guns in their usual spot. Twilight follows him up and leans against his door threshold, lightly circling her hoof on the floorboard. She rubs her arm gently and looks at him.

    “Myasnik, about what happened…”

    “I have already spoken with your princess about it. No need to worry. She felt I was within the right to do what I did because i was protecting someone. And if you want to know, ask her. I don’t feel like explaining it again.”

    She lowers her ears as he said that.

    “Actually I was curious as to what language you were speaking. The way you said it, it was so terrifying.”

    “Its called german. It is my native tongue. And you don’t want to know the things i said, that is why I switched.” he then walked past her on his way to warm up with a good shower. He stops half way there and keeps his gaze forward.

    “Twilight…”

    She looks over at him still leaning against the threshold.

    “Hm?”

    “Thanks...for putting up with me and giving me a place to stay. I know I don’t say it, but I really mean it. Also, Happy Hearth’s Warming Eve.”

    He said before disappearing into the bathroom quickly. Twilight’s heart melted, that warm and gooey feeling inside started to spread everywhere. She couldn’t help but smile and hug herself, she was really happy.Not only because he was back, but because of his words.

    “I knew it...under that stoic nonchalance of his, he is a sweetheart. If only he were a little older…”

    She walks down the stairs with a smile to herself, getting things ready for the celebration with her friends, as they were going to have a nice little party for them. For her friends, and Myasnik. It was going to be a good day for everyone.

--Party Time--

    Myasnik leaned against the wall with a cup of cider in his hand, non-alcoholic of course and watched Twilight and her friends converse about random things. Holiday stuff and just being chatty as they would with each other. However, his own solitude soon changed when the rest of the guests had arrived. Yep, it was the girls, all three of them. Dressed up in adorable winter clothing no less. Myasnik was quick to slip into the kitchen before they could spot him. He quickly slides out of the exit of the kitchen when he heard them approaching the other entrance, giving them the slip once more. Why was he trying to avoid them? And more surprisingly, Why were they trying to find him?

    He quickly makes his way up the stairs, though Twilight and the others clearly saw him sneaking about and wondered why he was doing so. Then it dawned on them. He was avoiding the girls and they couldn’t help but frown.

    “The poor dear must think that they see him as a monster after what had happened…”

    Rarity said with concern in her voice, looking back to her group of friends.

    “You can’t blame him you know. After what he did, I’d feel the same way if I was him. Not that I am blaming him of course, those little jerks got what was coming to them. If I was around when all that was going on, I would have pressed them into jerk cider!”

    Ranted Rainbow.

    “We saw the blood stains still in the snow on the way over here. For such a little guy, he sure did cause a lot of harm. I reckin’ he must really care for my sister and her friends to go all out like that.”

    Applejack said with nod of her head, taking a sip of her cider afterward. Fluttershy, however, was most sad about it out of the bunch.

    “I hate to see him with no smile. It’s like there is a mean ol’ rain cloud over his heart that just won’t leave him alone! Stupid cloud…”

    Pouted Pinkie

    “I can only imagine what he must have been feeling when they were in danger. I worry about him so much..”

    “I think we all do, Fluttershy. Sure, I know besides Fluttershy and I, you girls down really know anything about him. But I can tell you care for him like we do. And it makes me happy that my friends care for him.”

    Back upstairs, with the girls hot on his heels, he makes his way into his room. He opens his window and climbs out of it. He reaches up and tries to pull himself up into the branches, but he was still extremely sore.

    “D-damnit all…”

    He quickly climbs back in to search for a hiding place, only to find them standing there waiting for him with a concerned look on their faces. He stared back at them with his deep blue eyes, unsure of what they were feeling about him. He stands his ground though,

    “Well...what do you want..? Come to tell me I am just like those colts?”

    He was expecting the worst, prepared for it even. But what came was something entirely different. They all three ran to him and tackled him down, wrapping their arms around his form and nuzzling into him, sniffing.

    “We are so so sorry Myasnik!”

    The said all at once. He was confused. Why were they apologizing to him…?

    “I...don’t understand. I thought you would be furious with me, even scared as well. And why are you apologizing…?”

    “B-because, we couldn’t do anything to help you..and we made the situation more stressful on you when they came after us...and it cause you to become the way you did…”

    Sweetie said as she held onto him tightly.

    “Yeah, we wanted to help you take down those creeps, but we just weren’t strong enough…”

    Said Apple Bloom as she nuzzled gently into his chest.

    “We were more worried about you and didn’t think to go and grab help…”

    Said Scootaloo as she sat there on her knees with tears running down her face.

    “We really are sorry, Myasnik.”

    All three of them said once again. Myasnik blinked a few times, He sighed and shook his head. Lightly placing a hand on Sweetie’s and Apple Bloom’s head.

    “You three are trouble...you know that, don’t you? But...I am just glad I could run to your defense when I could. Sure, you had to see an ugly side of me…”

    He then reaches a hand up to pet Scootaloo gently.

    “...here you all are, shedding tears because of me. It’s ridiculous.I am not worth crying over. But because of you, I was saved from making a big mistake that I was ready to make.”

    He gives them a small but genuine smile, and when they saw it, they immediately thought the same thing…

    Aawww...he's so handsome when he smiles…

    Blushes formed across their cheeks when that thought passed through their mind. Myasnik sat up and nodded to them.

    “Thank you girls….all of you. I really mean it. I am truly blessed to have you three as my friends and to have you care about me more than you really should.”

    All three of them wrap their arms around Myasnik and nuzzle in closely, their tail swaying behind them happily, clearly this showing just how happy they were to be with him once more, and on this special evening. They spent the rest of the evening in Myasnik’s room, talking and laughing and just enjoying being in each others company. And just outside the door, Twilight and her friends were smiling big smiles. And then they heard it. They heard Myasnik laugh for the first time since he had been there. Pinkie couldn’t get over how warm it sounded. She wanted to hear him laugh again and again. Twilight was watching through the keyhole. What was about to happen next would make her heart skip a beat and nearly cause her to squee loudly.

    “Myasnik…”

    “Hm? What is it, Sweetie?”

    “Well, I have this for you. I am sure that you have been missing it all today.”

    She reaches into her jacket and pulls out his butterfly knife. It had been cleaned of the blood and looked better than ever. She places it in his open hand and smiles to him.

    “We were looking for it all day today and we found it, thankfully nopony stepped on it.”

    Scootaloo said with a nod, her little wings flapping a bit as she smiled.

    “Yeah, we even went to go and get the blade sharpened and cleaned for you.”

    Followed Apple Bloom. Myasnik opened up the knife expertly and examined the blade in the light.It definitely looked better than it did when he got her. Almost brand new.

    “This was given to me by my father before he left to go into the military. This is one of the good memories I have of my old man. Thank you girls...very much.”

    “We still need to thank you, Myasnik...for being there for us. For protecting us when we needed you the most.”

    Said Sweetie as a red streak appears across her muzzle, as did Apple’s and Scootaloo’s. Myasnik was confused for a moment until Sweetie lean in close and locked lips with him, Myasnik’s eyes widen considerably. He was stunned. But that wasn’t all after Sweetie had planted such a sensual kiss upon him, Apple moved in to give one of her own, lightly cupping his jaw in doing so. Myasnik’s heart felt like it was about to burst, he couldn’t move And last but certainly not least, Scootaloo moved in for the kill, leaning into the kiss and giving it her all. Normally the most tomboyish filly, now a sweet and loving girl giving the crush of her life a kiss that was packed full of feelings. The each sat on their legs in front of him, their eyes lowered and shimmering with blushes on their muzzles.

    “Thank you, Myasnik. And happy Hearth’s Warming Eve. We are happy that you are with us and are our friend. Please don’t even leave us…”

    This was the part where Twilight quickly pulls away and quickly makes her way down the stairs as quickly and as quietly as possible, her friends following behind. They look at their lavender friend whos face was super red.

    “Oh my….oh my…”

    “Twah? What happened?!”

    Applejack asked with widened eyes.

    “Was everything alright?! Did something go wrong?!”

    Asked Rarity in Excitement.

    “Come on girl, spill the beans!”

    All Twilight could do was conjure up an after image of what she saw.And when they all saw what happened, out of all of them, Rarity, Rainbow and Applejack cover their mouths with a sharp gasp and a heavy blush, their eyes as wide as saucers as they see their little sisters KISSING Myasnik with such fervor and want.

    “Sweet Celestia...they...he…”

    Was all the shy yellow pegasus could get out before fainting

    “Oh wooooooow….lucky guy!”

    Exclaimed Pinkie, bouncing up and down with excitement.

    “Something tells me, Myasnik is going to be dealing with issues that he has never dealt with before…”

    Said twilight as she buries her face in her hands

Act 9: Will You Be OUR Special Somepony?

    With Winter now fully gone, and  spring now two months in. Myasnik was pretty happy to see sunlight for once. He walked down the main street of the town, heading over to the park where he could get a break from Twilight’s constant pacing once again. She probably had some big thing to do for the princess or something and was freaking out as usual. He wanders off the main path into the park. He walks over to his usual spot which was under a tree which sat on top of a little hill. Once there, he falls back into the soft grass and places his hands behind his head as he looks up at the sky through the newly grown leaves of the tree. He sighs and closes his eyes as he watches the sun’s rays come in and out of view. Not a cloud in the sky today. It was going to be a good day, he could already tell.

    I think a little nap is in order. Too good of a day and good weather to not enjoy one outside.

    He thought to himself before slowly closing his eyes, drifting off into a light slumber.

--Half An Hour Later--

    Myasnik woke to the feeling of his face being licked. his flails and sits up quickly to see a brown and white sheep dog sitting in front of him with her tail wagging happily at ninety miles an hour, Myasnik wiped his face off and stared at the canine unamused, but he couldn’t stay mad for long. After all, he loved dogs and this one seemed as friendly as they could be.

    “Hey there sweetheart, come to visit me huh?”

    He said as he places a hand on her head and runs one along her back in petting motions. She wagged her tail faster and placed her paws on his shoulders in a dog hug. She seems to have taken a liking to him already. Then again, Myasnik was always good with dogs.

    Winona! Where in tarnation did you run off to, silly girl?!”

    Shouted Applejack as she neared her and Myasnik. She caught sight of him  scratching and rubbing her belly and just showering her with affection. Applejack stared in surprise at this. He handled her so good. And it seemed that she was enjoying Myasnik’s company. She giggles lightly and walks over to the two of them.

    “Well I’ll be...looks like she has taken quite a likin’ to yah, Myasnik!”

    She said kneeling down in front of them. Winona barked happily in response to Applejack.  She gets up and makes her way back to Applejack and lays down in front of her.

    “Heheh, sorry about her. She likes to meet new ponies,and you are definitely new to her.”

    Myasnik shakes his head with a light chuckle. Leaning back against the tree as he places his hands in front of him.

    “No trouble. I always wanted a dog myself, but my mother would never let it happen. I used to go and visit a dog shelter a lot to play with one dog though. His name was Kujo. BIG guy. He stood as tall as me when he had his paws on my shoulders. But that is a story for another time.”

    He looks down at the ground and then back up to Applejack, She could tell he had something on his mind.

    “Applejack, you are an honest pony. So I know you won’t lie when I tell ask you this.”

    “Of course I won’t ask away, sugarcube.”

    “You were listening in on the girls and I with the others on Hearth’s Warming Eve weren’t you?”

    Applejack’s eyes widen at his question. He caught her, and he knew by asking her he’d her a true answer.

    “You are a smart boy, Myasnik. I am sure I am the first you asked about this.”

    He gives a simple nod.

    “Yeah, we all know what was said and what happened.”

    “So...what should I do? I know what tomorrow is. And I know that everyone is going to be doing their whole ‘lovey dovey’ thing all day. They are nice girls, they really are. And the fact that they kissed me the way they did made me happy...and shocked.”

    Applejack sighs lightly and pets Winona as she got ready to talk to him.

    “Myasnik, My sister and her friends really do seem to like yah a lot. Ah know you act oblivious. But Ah also know that you are no fool. You are fully aware of the feelings for you and how they have grown. And yet you act like you don’t care. But that is just an act.You have proven that before.”

    “I will not deny it, Applejack. I like them very much. Nut I can only really take one of them.”

    Applejack blinks and tilts her head.

    “Why just one?”

    Myasnik blinks back.

    “What do you mean ‘why’? Isn’t...you know...kind of cruel to see three girls at one time? Back in my world, if your girlfriend caught you with another girl. Things would get rather bad,and emotional distress would arise. Then again, I would really know, since I never really had a girlfriend before.”

    Applejack couldn’t believe what she was hearing,more so that he said that he had never had a girlfriend before. She looks into his eyes closely. He was telling the honest truth. This put her into a small state of shock.

    “Ah can’t even believe you never had a marefriend before! Are the fillies back in your world blind or somethin’?!”

    Myasnik blinks a few times at her reaction, but shakes his head.

    “Nah, they usually go for the pretty boys or the overly muscular jarheads. I was classified to them as “Psychotic Freak’ by them. And yeah, no girlfriend for me. Not that it didn’t bother me though. But anyways, what did you mean by ‘why?’ earlier?”

    “Well Myasnik, Ah am sure that you noticed that there aint as many stallions as their are mares here. In fact, that is just how Equestria is. So in quite a few cases. When multiple mares share affections for the same stallion. they form what is known as ‘herds’.”

    Myasnik’s eyes widened quickly, his heart was ready to explode.

    “Y-you’re joking right? That is actually a thing here..?”

    Applejack gives a firm nod.

    “Gott im Himmel, rette mich…” <God in Heaven, save me…>

    Myasnik said as he looked up to the sky. Applejack titling her head in confusion at what he said. Myasnik was VERY worried about this, but at the same time, he was excited. He had three fillies who shared the same affections for him, and it was pretty cool.

    “Myasnik, listen please. Rarity, Rainbow and Ah talked it over last month. And we all three agree that they’d be better off with you than any other colt. Even muh big brother agreed with me to leave Apple Bloom to you. You are a capable colt. And you have definitely proven that you’d go to even the most extreme length to ensure their safety. All Ah ask from you. Is make muh sister happy as can be. You are all she and her friends talk about. And you aren’t even a pony.”

    “I know I am not one of you, Applejack. Which is why I am still surprised they’d even want to be with me.”

    Applejack giggled lightly and places a hand on his head gently.

    “Ah think it’s plainly obvious, sugarcube. Despite all the teasin’ and trouble they get from school, they know that you will be there for them when they need comfort. And that you accept them for who they are. And they way you run to their defense as well.”

    Myasnik laughs lightly and shakes his head.

    “Oh come on now, those girls are tougher than one might think.”

    “Well,that may be, but they still depend on you, Myasnik.”

    Myasnik lowers his gaze for a moment, then looks back at Applejack. A determined fire in his eyes.

    “If you see fit that I should be the one to take Apple Bloom’s heart, then you can count on me. I will make sure that no harm will come to it or her. You have my word as a soldier.”

    After that, Myasnik was then approached by Rarity and given the same talk, then by Rainbow, who threatened him at the end to treat scootaloo right if he didn’t want his face smashed in. Myasnik knew that in less than twenty-four hours. He was not going to have just one, but THREE fillies calling him their coltfriend.

    “Was auch immer das göttliche Wesen in den Himmeln oben ist, bitte gib mir Kraft morgen.”<Whatever the divine being is in the heavens above, please give me strength tomorrow.>

--Hearts and Hooves Day, School Hours--

    Myasnik sat in his chair in his usual spot in the back of the class. He watched everyone walk about giving their hearts and hooves day gifts to one another. His gaze then turned to the three approaching fillies. On the outside he was cool, calm,collected. But on the inside the little mental image of an office with versions of himself in white lab coats were running around and bumping into one another with papers and others clicking and searching on computers. They finally stood in front of him, with the whole classroom including Cheerilee watching what was about to unfold.

    “Myasnik…”

    They all three said at the same time. He puts his hand up as he stands. He gives all three of them a serious look. One that put them on edge.

    “Before you ask what you are about to ask. Think carefully. You know what I am, you have seen what I am and what I can do. And despite all of that. Are you sure you want to ask me this question?”

    They answer him with that very question.

    “Will you be our very special somepony?!”

    They all asked in unison once more. Myasnik sighed and shook his head, but smiled and reached into the bag that was beside his desk.

    “I wasn’t sure what to get you three. So I got you all chocolates. Everyone like good chocolate”

    He said with a genuine smile, offering a box to each one of them. They gasp happily as he offers them to them.

    “Yes. Sweetie, Apple, Scoots, I will be your special somepony.”

    Their eyes shimmered like the stars in the sky on a clear night. Smiles and blushes forming across their muzzles as they tackle him to the ground and wrap their arms around him affectionately and tightly. Their hearts about to burst out of their chests. This was the moment that had been dreaming of for months now. For their love for this human to be accepted by him. Cheerilee couldn’t help but place her hands over her chest and let out an “Aaawwwwww~~’ at the sight of this tender scene, even the other fillies...well beside Diamond and Silver anyways did the same gesture. However, some of the colts weren’t too happy that their would be special somepony was just snatched away from them forever. By a non-pony no less. Myasnik and the girls stayed like that for what felt like hours. Embracing one another.

    Eeww...how gross. But look at the bright side. The blank flanks and the psychotic freak look good together don’t they?”

    There was that term, ‘Psychotic Freak’. Myasnik looked over at Diamond and her friend who high-fived one another after that. Expecting others to follow, but they didn’t.

    “At least these ‘blank flanks’ accept me for who I am. Just as much as I accept them. Unlike you, you crabby little bitch.”

    There were gasps all around, even from Apple and the others. Cheerilee was especially shocked. Diamond glared daggers at Myasnik. He glared back.

    “You know why you don’t have anything for a day like this? Because of your uppity attitude and your superiority complex. You think you are best than everyone here and that is why you have only one friend. She must REALLY care about you if she has put up with your bullshit this far. And I am sure you take that for granted as well. Wake up, before you are left alone. Because let me tell you, all the money in the world will not replace friends and loved ones.”

    They wanted to stop him, but something told them it wouldn’t make a difference, the girls just held close to him,hoping he was done.

    “Myasnik..please stop…”

    Apple Bloom pleaded.

    “I am done, dont worry. Sorry, but it needed to be said.”

     He said as he stood up and helped them up afterwards. By that time, the bell rang and he turned to them with a smile.

    “Come on girls, let’s get out of here. Lunch is on me.”

    They nod and quietly follow him out. As they left the schoolyard though, they look to Myasnik.

    “Why did you-...”

    Sweetie was cut off by Myasnik.

    “I wasn’t going to sugarcode it some someone like her, Sweetie. You know as well as I, that she needs to learn a bit of humility. You also know I am right about her having only one true friend. I have seen the way she treats Silver. She must really care for Diamond. So yes, I was rough with my words. But it was only to wake her up.”

    He then looks back to them.

    “I cut her down so she will spring back up.”

    It hit them when they finally thought about it. That is exactly what he did. Behind his cruel words was a means of trying to help Daimond.

    Noth the way we would have handled it, but he is right in what he did. His cold words also fitted with a layer of genuine concern. I wouldn’t have expected nothing less of him…

    Thought Sweetie as they walked alongside him. And so begins their relationship. A loving and soon to be very exciting one at that. For the plans that Faust had for these four, were coming closer into play with every day.

Act 10: One Year Left...

    Nearly two years has passed since Myasnik has come to Equestria. He is now a maturing seventeen year old young man who has hit quite a growth spurt and still continues to grow. He is starting to look more like his father did when he was his age, but still had the very same long golden lock and deep blue eyes. He has also developed a bit more muscle than he had when he first came here. Yes, he has changed quite a bit over time ever since he came here. While he is still quite serious and still has a ‘stoic. attitude, he has also become more open with the girls. Even with Twilight and her friends as well. Yes, ever since he accepted their feelings on that day, their relationship has maintained that special bond. There are still many things that he hasn’t told them about himself. But they understood. They are just happy being with him always, just as he is with them.

    Myasnik was out of school and has been for the last year. Apparently when you turn sixteen,that is also your last school year as well. Quite different from his world. They had even finally gotten their cutie marks during that time as well. Myasnik was so proud of them when it happened. Since he is no longer in school, he has been working. Mostly doing odd jobs around town to rake in the bits. Not that he minded though. He had the stamina to spare, not to mention being his own boss was pretty cool.And he didn’t really spend much of his paw anyways. However, he has been saving up more than he usually does. Really being is because he had a surprise for his marefriends. And it will be a great way to kick off the summer.

    The sun rises slowly, shining into Myasnik room through the slight opening of the curtains. He slowly opens his eyes and gets to his knees on his bed, sitting on the back of his feet letting out a yawn as he stretches. Today was the day he had planned for this spring.While wandering through the Everfree Forest, making a map and placing markers to navigate within the forest,he stumbled upon something pretty neat. And had it not been the scent that lead him to that said something, he would have missed a golden opportunity indeed. It was going to be an hour long walk through the forest. But he knew it would be worth it.

    “Time to gather the necessary things together, we agreed to meet by the forest in about an hour.”

    Myasnik got up and got dressed. He packed up a second set of clothes, as this was going to be an overnight thing as well. A few boxes of shotgun ammunition, just in case. A sleeping bag and a few other items he may need. He packed it all up in a large military sack he had gotten from an old stallion’s yard sale over the spring. He slings it over his shoulder and does the same with his shotgun. You never know what exactly lurks in the forest, and he wasn’t going to let any harm come to the girls. He finally leaves out the door of the library thirty minutes later with a peanut butter sandwich in his free hand, munching on it as he head in the direction of the forest. Just as he gets there, he sees they are already there and waiting for him. He finishes his sandwich and waves to them.

    “You all ready then?”

    They turn to look at him and gasp happily. They run over to him and wrap their arms around him lovingly and each plant a loving kiss upon his lips one after another.

“Morning, hot stuff.”

    Said Scootaloo as she rubbed up against him The others following.

    “Good morning girls. I trust you all slept well last night?”

    “Mhmm~~!”

    They all said at the same time.

    “And you all brought what I told you to?”

    “Yep, we got our sleeping bags, our swimsuits and all the necessary provisions for an overnight camping trip!”

    Exclaimed Apple Bloom, bouncing on her hooves excitedly>

    “Good, now I hope you are ready for a bit of a walk. It will take us an hour to get there, but I promise you all. It will be worth it. And best of all, no one knows about this place but myself. But should any of you need to rest along the way, let me know. Alright?”

    “Kay!”

    They said as Myasnik began to lead them into the forest. He had a map with him he had carefully drawn up making his way in and out of the forest during the spring. And he had also set up familiar markings on rocks and trees and various other places so the he knew he was going in the right direction. He always looks back to make sure that they were doing alright, and that they weren’t getting too exhausted from the long walk. Thankfully the thick canopy above shielded them from the sunlight. So it made things a little easier. He could hear them breathing a bit heavily. So he stops and looks back to them with concern.

    “Take a moment girls. We are four fifths of the way there. Get some water in your system if you need to.”

    The look over to him, wiping the sweat off their foreheads and shake their head lightly.

    “We can keep going. It’s just a little heat,no big deal. I really hope there is some place we can cool off wherever we are going though…”

    Said Sweetie as she takes a drink of water from the pack bottle she had with her. Myasnik expected her to collapse right about now. But she has definitely been able to keep up with him and the others. He was pretty proud of her for that. In fact, they have got better all around ever since Myasnik had become their colt friend. It’s like they have a reason to strive to be the best they could in all aspects. And he was more than proud. He looks over to Apple Bloom and Scootaloo. Next

    “You two doing alright as well?”

    “Oh yeah, we will make it just fine. But it is sweet of ya to ask.”

    Said Apple Bloom as she makes it next to Myasnik along with Scootaloo and Sweetie. He nods with a light smile and leans his head in the direction they are heading.

    “Come on, I can smell it from here. We are almost there.”

    The girls were becoming even more impatient as he’d not tell them exactly where they were heading. They knew it was a surprise, but they were just so excited to find out just what it was. But soon enough, they finally make it to the treeline of where their destination was.Myasnik turned to the girls who looked like they ere about to drop from exhaustion. But he knows once he moved the large leaves out of the way that blocked their view, their energy would be renewed.

    “Here we are. Our own little private beach.”

    He said as he moved the leaves out of view. What they saw was a white sandy beach that was surrounded by a large ‘U’ shaped wall of rock with clear blue water shimmering in the sun light and large trees that had plenty of shade And further out from the beach was the wide ocean. It turns out that there was a beach hidden here all along and no pony decided to come and find it! Funny how that works. Their eyes widened and sparkled. It all made sense now! Why he had asked them to bring beach blanket and a large umbrella and all the other needed items. And just as he thought, they began bouncing around and squealing happily. Seeing this made Myasnik extremely happy. He chuckles and motions them to follow him.

    “I will get everything set up. You can all go get changed and go into the water if you want to.”

    He expected them to do just that, but they shake their heads in sync.

    “Nope, we ain’t lettin’ you do all the work, mister.”

    “Yeah! We know exactly what we need to do! We used to go camping all the time before we met you.”

    Said Scootaloo with a determined gaze.

    “Mhmm! Though we have never ever been to this place before. Thank you so so much for bringing us Myasnik!”

    Said Sweetie as she wraps her arms around him in a tight hug.

    “Alright, crusaders. Operation Set Outpost is a go!”

    “YEAH!”

    They all shouted with joy. Myasnik shook his head lightly but chuckled. Even though they got their marks, they will always be the Cutie Mark Crusaders through and through. Myasnik began setting up the tent he had brought with him with the girls sat up everything else. It was quite a roomy tent as well. Made from enchanted fabrics to keep the elements out and keep the inside fresh and dry. Once that's done, everything was set up. He stands there with his hands on his hips and gives a form nod. He then falls back onto a blanket he had laid out under a large tree that very well gave him plenty of shade. It had been quite a long time since he spent any real time on a beach. But here he was, with the ones he cared for the absolute most. He was happy that they were happy. And that’s all he ever wanted. For once, he was giving those he cared about something in return. He smiles and closes his eyes, drifting off into a light nap from the sound of the water and wind. It was so relaxing here.

--A Few Minutes Later--

    “Myasnik..?”

    He slowly opens his eyes and sits up,rubbing them gently as he looks up to see the girls in their swimsuits. He lets out a shaky gasp as he sees them in what he believes to be the most adorable and sexy bikinies of all time. Sweetie wore a black one with white flrilly lace on the top and bottom. It contrasted with her lovely white fur and it definitely showed that she has been developing VERY nicely. Scootaloo wore something that surprised Myasnik. A light pink bikini with the bottom that was tied on both sides and the top showed off her perky breasts nicely. Apple Bloom wore a simple dark green bikini, but she looked so good in it. Simple, yet sexy. She could definitely pull that off. Myasnik had always noticed the changes in their forms as they got older, but this...this was absolutely amazing.

    “Girls...you look absolutely beautiful. Even more so than usual…”

    They all turn around and show off everything for him, giggling lightly and blushing heavily.

    “You...really like them?”

    Asked Scootaloo, that tomboyish attitude vanishing as she lightly circles her hoof in the sand

    “I do. You all look fantastic…”

    That wasn’t the word he’d use, he had his own blush crawling across his face as he looked over every single one of their curves. How the hell did he get so lucky in not getting one, but THREE?!

    “Aren’tcha gonna come swim with us…?”

    Apple Bloom asked, noticing that he was still in his normal attire. Myasnik went quiet for a moment,he then looks down at the sand and shakes his head.

    “Sorry girls...I...don’t really know how to swim. I tend to avoid water at swimming pools or beaches because of that fact. But don’t you worry about me. I am fine up here. You all go and have some fun. I  need to be heading over to the other side of the beach to catch dinner anyways. Well, dinner for me at least. Since i know you don’t eat fish.”

    He gets up from his spot on the blanket and grabs his fishing rod he assembled and a bucket. He begins to make his way to the spot he mentioned.

    “If you girls need me, you know where I will be. Please be safe.”

    Once he was gone, they turned to one another.

    “That explains why he never came to the local pool when we invited him. Poor guy can’t swim…”

    Said Scootaloo with a bit of disappointment in her voice,lightly rubbing her arm.

    “All the more reason we need to make him feel better tonight. I trust you two have done your research on the matter?”

    Asked Sweetie, getting a nod from the others.

    “Good...because my estrus has been driving me crazy...it’s our first cycle and and it took all I had to not pounce him and show him just how much we love him…”

She said with a heavy blush forming across her cheeks, the others nodding in agreement.

“We will have to be easy on him though, girls. We don’t wanna scare him…”

Apple Bloom said with a light nod, rubbing her legs together as her own heat was bothering her as well.

    “I think we will do just fine. He deserves it to. After everything he has given us and has been with us for almost over two years. He has earned special attention from us. We owe it to him. We love him.”

    Finished Scootaloo. Tonight, things were going to get hot and steamy on the beach. Three young mares will show their mate just what it is to have a herd of three mares who absolutely worship and love him.

Act 11: Beach Night Bliss

The sun had set and night was upon the land. Myasnik sat in front of the fire he had started for him and the girls, Which also served as his method of cooking the fish he had caught for himself after cutting, cleaning and seasoning them. He sat there, just staring at the fire for a while, thoughts swirling around in his head.

    Once more year till whatever is supposed to happen to me does happen. Is it going to affect my body in a large way or will it just simply be a matter of a quiet augmentation of my body…?

    This thought has been troubling him for a little over a month now. Only because he knows that the times draws ever closer with every month that flies by. Especially now. The girls noticed his eyes seemed to swell with concern as he stares into the blaze in in front of him. Scootaloo lightly places a hand on his shoulder and rubs it gently.

    “Myasnik, are you okay…?”

    She asked in concerns while gently shaking him back to reality. He blinks a few times before looking in their direction and smiles lightly with a gentle nod.

    “Yeah, I am fine. Just thinking is all. As you all know, my eighteenth birthday is in eleven months. And you remember what that is going to involve.”

    They all nod in agreement and crawl towards his and snuggle up close. Two on his left and right and one coming up behind him and wrapping her arms around him.

    “And when it does happen, we will be there with you. Like we always have been since you came here. You won’t have to face it alone.”

    Said Sweetie, as she nuzzles into his cheek as she presses against his back. Scootaloo and Apple smile up at him and give him a nod in agreement with Sweetie, nuzzling into his chest and staying close to the one they love. Once it was getting to around bedtime. Myasnik sheds himself of his clothing and slides into his sleeping bag before the girls joined him inside the tent. He wiggles into the ground a bit to create sort of a sinking hole to where his body would fit comfortably in the sand through the tent’s ground, it worked like a charm, soon enough he was nice and comfy. Myasnik closed his eyes for a moment and sighs. Later, however, he felt them come in and shift around in the tent. He opens his eyes and greets them with a smile, only to find them completely naked and blushing heavily as Apple Straddled over him and Sweetie and Scootaloo kneeled next to her on either side.

    “Girls..? What are you…?”

    “Myasnik...let us show you just how much we really love you. You have done so much for us without askin’ anythm’ in return. You have loved us, cared for us and came to our defense when needed.”

    “W-why wouldn’t I do those things for you, AB? I care for and love all of you.”

    “We know you do...so we want to give you all the love in the world.”

    Sweetie said as she crawled closer, her well-developing bust hanging in plan view for Myasnik to see.

    “Yeah...not to mention we are all three in heat. And with you being our stud, it’d make sense for you to be our one and only lover.”

    Said scootaloo with a wink as she crawled closer as well. Myasnik sat up quickly, his sleeping bag falling from the upper part of his body, already giving the girl the hint that he wasn’t wearing anything at all. Which only made them give him the bedroom eyes. Myasnik was in a bit of a tight spot. He had three, beautiful and adorable young mares eager to please him. But was he ready for this? The growing member between his legs said ‘Abso-fucking-lutely!’ But his find was rather unsure. Was it because of their estrus they were acting this way. Or was it both that and their feelings for him? He lets out an audible gulp and blushes heavily as they get even closer. His heart ready to beat out of his chest any moment now.

    “G-Girls, are you sure about this? Like, really sure?”

    They simply nod to him, Apple moves in for the kill, locking her lips with his and sliding her tongue into his mouth as she leans against his body, pressing her breasts against his chest. Placing her hands on his shoulders for support while Sweetie and Scootaloo pull his sleeping bag off him fully, revealing that now throbbing member which stood up proudly. They both reach down and grasp both it and his orbs, lightly squeezing and massaging them. This made Myasnik tense up and groan in delight as Apple continues to kiss him with tongue,

    “Oh wow...it is definitely different that what a male cock looks like here...it’s so..smooth, but hard as a rock.”

    “He is very well sized for not being a pony. Ready Scoots?”

    “You bet, let’s get to it.”

    Myasnik’s fingers dug into the ground when he felt both of them licking and sucking on his member. It felt absolutely amazing. He had two mares servicing him while one was rubbing up against him and kissing him with all the passion she had for him. She breaks the kiss after a little bit and grabs his hands, places them on her breasts and lets out a moan at his touch.

    “Please Myasnik….play with them, play with my body. Touch me, squeeze me, fondle me. Don’t hold back anymore. Do as you wish with us. We love you Myasnik, plea-”

    She was cut off by his lips locking with hers once more and his hands squeezing and bouncing her breasts firmly and lovingly. The farm pony lets out a light squeak and a muffled moan as he did just that. And what’s even better, it seemed that both Sweetie and Scootaloo were getting quite aroused by this, which only drove them more to bring their mate more pleasure.Sweetie moved between his legs and laid between them, as did Scootaloo. She leaned in and took his throbbing orbs into her mouth and began to suck on them while swirling her tongue around them, the mare becoming intoxicated with his scent and taste which began to cloud her mind with want and need. The same thing with Scootaloo as she was sucking his member down her throat. The two becoming drunk off his scent and their lust as they pleasured him. Their moist folds clearly showed signs of that when their juices started trailing down their inner thighs and legs. And of course, this being Myasnik’s first time with any sexual contact. It took him no time at all the release his seed into the mouth of Scootaloo who was milking him. After she got a mouthful, Sweetie made her way to get some as well and locked lips with Apple to share his taste with her since she was keeping him busy with his hands fondling her body.

    “Mmmh...so tasty…”

    Said Scootaloo after she gulped down the warm liquid, sticking her tongue out to show she had swallowed it all. Apple and Sweetie surely thought the same when they shared. Once that was done however, they lined up side by side on their hands and knees with their rears pressed against one another, their hot dripping sex winking at him, begging him to come and claim them.. It finally dawned on him. He was going to be claiming three virgins. He never even thought he’d get one! They all turn their gaze to him as they lifts their tails for him, panting heavily in need. Myasnik’s member was throbbing hard at the sight of this. He wasted no time in claiming the one in the middle first, Which was Scootaloo. He got behind her and slid deep into her warm and soft sex. She lets out a cry of pain as he breaks her barrier, but begins to groan and whimper in pleasure as he began working his hips. He didn’t leave the others unattended though, oh no. He puts his hands to work on the other two, his fingers fingering and rubbing their dripping marehood. All three of them moaning out in delight now. Calling his name and bucking back into his hips and hands

    Each time one of them climaxed, he moved onto the next, taking their innocence one by one. All while still making sure that they were never left out of the fun each round. Myasnik was definitely enjoying himself, the feeling of their warm. Soft, velvety walls squeezing and milking him for all he is worth. Repeating the process over and over until one falls after the other. The mares spent rather quickly as it was their first time. After his final go with Sweetie, he falls back onto his rear and looks at his handy work. Their bodies covered in his seed as he didn’t want to get them pregnant. Wait...could he get them pregnant? Is his genetics compatible with theirs? That was something that definitely interested him as a passing thought. But the sight in front of him made him smile proudly. His mares were breathing heavily with happy smiles on their faces. Though it appears they weren’t done with him yet, as they crawled their way over to him and began licking and sucking him clean of their mixed juices. Once done they licked their lips and snuggled up close to him. Their tails lightly thumping on the ground.

    “Whooo-wee! IAh never thought it'd be that incredible!”

    Exclaimed Apple as she rests her head on his chest as she lays on top of him. Sweetie and Scootaloo making sure his left and right sides are tended to.

    “I have always heard Rarity talk about it with her friends and such. Now I know why she was always so happy about it…”

    Said Sweetie, as she leans in and kisses his cheek gently.

    “Dash always told me that girls are better...but I don’t know about that anymore…”

    Said Scootaloo with a light giggle. Myasnik really couldn’t find the words to say about how happy he was. Not only was he especially delight to know the pleasures of the flesh, but knowing that the mares he loves and cares for are happy with just how well he performed for them. Though something told him that sometime down the road. Now that they have experienced it, they are going to want far more. But that was a comfortable problem to have so to speak. He looks between them all and just closes his eyes with a smile.

    “I love you, all of you. Sweetie, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo. I am glad you chose me as your one mate.”

    They all smiled back and felt their hearts melt when he said that. They loved hearing him say those three little words.

    “Well, you were our obvious choice, hot stuff. After all, you never turned your back on us and you were there when we needed you. If somepony as wonderful and caring as you are doesn’t deserve our love, then who does?”

    Scootaloo was right. But Myasnik felt like that was feeding his ego which he liked to keep at a healthy minimum to moderate. Myasnik chuckles lightly and slaps Apple's rear playfully, then does the same to the others.

    “Come on girls, I know a little place near here where we can clean up. There is a little spring just  a little ways back along the shoreline. Then we really should get to bed after that.”

    They let out cute little whimpers of delight as she slaps their flanks. They wiggled playfully and gave him a nod.

    “Kay!”

    Yes, Myasnik had all he could ever ask for, friends, a home, and not just one, but three marefriends. When next birthday rolls around, however things are going to change for him forever. As the monster that has dwelled within his body will finally awaken and take hold of him.

Act 12: The Day Has Arrived...

    It was the final day tilt Myasnik’s eighteenth birthday. Six more hours till midnight was upon the land. Myasnik walked around in the west courtyard of Canterlot Castle. He paced back and forth with his hands in his pockets and his eyes fixed to the ground. He was extremely nervous. Reason being is because he didn’t exactly know what this new time activated strand of DNA would do to him by tonight.. It was Celestia’s idea to have him come here incase things got complicated and Myasnik would need to be kept under lock and key. And he understood that completely. Last thing they needed was some kind of rampaging monster or something. However, he wasn’t alone here. Oh no. Sweetie, Apple and Scootaloo were there with him. However he stepped away to give himself some time to think. Either way, he felt something was going to happen tonight that would cause trouble. He just didn’t know what

    “Ahaa, I found where all that nervous energy was coming from.”

    Said that familiar warm, motherly voice. Myasnik turned his gaze up to see Celestia walking towards him, offering him a smile. He waves to her and nods.

    “Yeah...I am pretty nervous about this whole thing. This who thing. It’s go me thinking of a certain event that happened back in my world in one of it’s countries. The United States. Something about a virus that nearly took down a whole city. I am starting to think that maybe..something similar will happen to me. What if I am some sort of a biological weapon that is set to go off tonight…?’

    Celestia could already tell that it was bothering him, but with what he was saying she could clearly tell he was worried about other than himself. She walks closer to him and puts a gentle hand on his shoulder. His gaze turns up to her afterwards.

    “Myasnik, look at me. Should things go wrong, my sister and I will do our absolute best to maintain control of what happens to you. Even Twilight wants to do what she can for you/ In fact, with her and her friends here…”

    She then steps aside revealing the girls who smile to him. They run to him and wrap their arms around him tightly.

    “...and these sweet young mares who adore and love you so very much, you won’t have to go through this alone.”

    She’s right. Sweetie, Apple and Scootaloo were indeed here for him. And their embrace calmed him down and made him feel quite better. He nuzzles into their warmth and sighs,smiling at them with a nod.

    “Thank you girls. I love you all so very much.”

    “Mhmmm! And we love you to, always and forever!”

    They all said in unison. Celestia covers her mouth with her hand as she giggles.

    “To be honest, I am a little jealous. I wish I could be a part of your herd.”

    She was joking of course..well maybe half joking. Myasnik’s eyes shot open and he shook his head quickly.

    “You are beautiful princess don’t get me wrong. But these three are enough for me...trust me.I ask myself every damn day what did I do to get these awesome mares to want me so badly. And the answer still leaves me wondering.”

    They all laugh at his words. Trying to make the situation as light as possible before the inevitable happens.

--11:55 PM, Near Midnight--

    Myasnik stood in the middle of the main courtyard where there was more room for others to move about should he lost control of...whatever is about to happen. With both Celestia and Luna having their magic at the ready along with Twilight and her friends. Myasnik asked Sweetie and the others to not be around for the event that was about to unfold, but they insisted that they were staying, no matter how much he asked.

    “One more minute…”

    He said to himself before he looks over to Celestia and her sister. Then to the girls. Little did he know however, that his something awful was about to happen,and it was going to be his awakening.

    “Sweetie, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo. WHatever happens, I love you with all my heart.Please do not forget that-...”

    A loud whistle was heard as an arrow shot through the air and shot clean through Myasnik’s chest, then again through his skull. Everything happened in slow motion. Everypony’s eyes widened in horror as they watched Myasnik fall back onto the ground with a thud, blood pouring from his entry and exit wounds. The ones who did the deed were two flying hooded figures. Who immediately began to try and make their getaway. Celestia was furious.

    “GUARDS, SEIZE THEM! NOW!”

    Twilight couldn’t move after what she had just seen. Myasnik laid there motionless. Though the worst part of it all was seeing his marefreinds’ eyes well up with tears. Their hearts shattered as the one they truly loved was shot dead.

    “NO! NONONO!!!”

    They screamed out in absolute emotional pain and agony as they ran over to him and kneeled by his corpse.

    “Myasnik, you can’t be dead! Please wake up!”

    Shouted Sweetie as she gently shook him, tears flowing down her face like a waterfall along with Scootaloo and Apple as well.

    “You promised you’d be with us forever! You can go breakin’ that promise!”

    “You wouldn’t let something like this kill you, wake up damnit,please!”

    Cried Apple and Scootaloo, burying their face into his chest, not caring that they were getting covered in his blood, they just wanted him back. Applejack, Rarity and Rainbow came over to the girls and tried to pull them away from him, they struggled against their sisters.

    “Sugarcube...he is gone…”

    “No he’s not! Let go!”

    “Darling...I am sorry. There is nothing that we can do for him…”

    “Let go of me Rarity, let me go!”

    “Come on Scoots...you don’t need to see this…”

    “Dont...don’t take me away from him, please!”

    The girls continued to struggle and fight their sisters to return to Myasnik’s side, Fluttershy started sobbing uncontrollably as she had cared greatly for Myasnik, her memories running back to the first day she had met him. And Twilight...she was especially heart broken as well. Someone who she had worked so hard to obtain friendship from, gone. However, after a about ten minutes something began to happen to Myasnik body. Something that put everypony on edge once they saw it.

"Tia...I think we have a bigger problem..."

    Said Luna as she pointed shakily to Myasnik’s body which was now thrashing about, this reddish blood looking tissue roaming over his form and closing up his wounds. Myasnik’s eyes shot open as he instantly lifts himself up with just his legs.His eyes completely bloodshot. He takes in a gasp of air, the tissue continuing to crawl over his body as the effects of the new strand had already taken effect, even after he was shot dead. He lets out a scream of pain as he grabs at his body. Jagged spikes started sprouting out of his arms, legs and back.he falls to his hands and knees as the pain continued. The spikes vanished and suddenly tendrils sprouted from his body, reaching out and lashing and grabbing at whatever they could reach. Myasnik slams his fists into the ground, the full concrete slabs breaking under him as he does.

    “AAAAAH FUCK! IT HURTS! GAAAH!!”

    He screamed out. They all couldn’t believe what was happening. Myasnik’s fear from earlier was realized. He wasn’t becoming any regular super soldier,he was becoming a perfected version what what plagued the big city of New York all those years ago. They all watched in fear, but also in deep concern for him. The assassins who killed him earlier suddenly felt to the ground before him after the guard had finally caught up to them. The wings breaking on contact with the ground. Myasnik however didn’t waste anytime in what he was about to do.

    “Oh sweet Faust…”

    Celestia said as she watched Myasnik grab one of them by the throat and lifted him up with ease. He slams the assassin into the ground and starts wailing his fists mercilessly, blood instantly flying everywhere. And what shocked her even more? He was..absorbing the pony into his body, he did the same thing with the other one as well. His head felt like it was going to burst as he grabbed at it. He was seeing memories that weren’t his! It was as if he was looking through the eyes of the ponies he had just consumed!

     “You have your orders, Shadowcross. Should you fail in your mission to kill him before he awakens, I don’t need to tell you what is at stake.”

    “Yes, sir. Consider his blood to be spilt, my partner and I never fail when it comes to assassination.”

    “If I may ask sir. What is so threatening about this creature?”

    “It is what the king fears to be a monster that could very well ruin our plans to take over all of Equestria. Our intel shows that he is living in Ponyville, but he will be taken to Canterlot Castle to have his change overseen. Now,get moving soldier.”

    “Yes,sir!”

    The memories end.Myasnik stands to his feet as he looks down at his hands. A look of [ure shock on his face as he finally remembers what all this was from. Imagines of newspaper and internet articles of a man in a hood and a black leather jacket leaping across roof tops, fighting some kind of fleshy monsters. They were vague, but he knew exactly what was happening.

    “Oh God…”

    The realization hit Myasnik hard. Celestia slowly began to approach Myasnik, her horn glowing, just in case.

    “Myasnik…?”

    He turned to look at Celestia, though he began backing away from her slowly.

    “Princess….stay away from me. All of you stay away please!”

    “Myasnik, calm down! We just want to help you!”

    Shouted Twilight with genuine worry as she stepped closer as well, Even Apple and the others struggled harder from their sisters to get to him, but they weren’t letting go. Myasnik looked over at them and lowered his head.

    “I love you all...I-I am sorry!”

    He got it in his head that he was now seen as a complete abomination to them, and immediately runs away in a dead sprint. Leaping over obstacles  like they were absolutely nothing. Trying to get away from any living thing as fast as possible.

    “Myasnik, wait!”

    Shouted Twilight as she made an attempt to run after him, but was stopped by Celestia.

    “No Twilight...let my sister and I handle this…”

    “Princess please, don’t hurt him! I know whatever has happened to him, he isn’t going to hurt anypony else! Myasnik isn’t that kind of guy!”

    “Twilight!”

    Celestia raised her voice to get her to calm down.

    “I said, my sister and I will take care of this. Do you understand?”

    Twilight was confused for a moment, then nodded, finally getting what Celestia was saying.

    “Okay...I do. Please bring him back to us, princess. I know that those three won’t be too happy if they lose him...again.”

    She looked over at the sobbing trio. They continued calling out his name between whimpers and sniffles.

    “MYasnik...please come back....”

    They all said, shaking uncontrollably as they sobbed against their sisters.

Act 13: You Are A Weapon, But You Are Still You

    Myasnik ran as fast as he could, leaping over walls ten times taller than himself with no issue and even running up and along them as well. He was putting as much distance as he could between him and any of the ponies. Though considering he was in a city on the side of a cliff, his options were very limited at the moment. However, when he was about to make a run for it again, he felt a sharp pain in his torso, then all in his limbs. The sleeping ‘virus’ was finishing its work in augmenting his body. To call it a virus, however, was far from what it was, or what it used to be. This version of it kept the host mostly human. In the next few months, however, Myasnik was going to find out soon enough just what happens if you do not consume a living creature, being. But for now, he was safe. From this at least. He falls back against a wall of the castle, his hands clutching at his stomach and his breathing quickening. He grunts in pain as his body remains sore after the process was done, but at least the hard part was done. But he wasn’t going anywhere for awhile after that.

    His mind went back to the images of the sheer look of horror on his friends’ and marefriend’ faces. Especially the latter. He buries his face into his hands and lets out a groan of frustration. If he hadn’t been expecting something like this, he'd probably be in more of a mental breakdown than anything. But right now, he just wished that he was able to move without feeling the soreness. He slowly rises to his feet and gets ready to find a place to hide But before he does, Both Celestia and Luna land on either side of him, ready to block his exit in any way they could, their horns glowing brightly.

    “Tch, perfect…”

    He said as he shifted his gaze between the two sisters, glaring at them intimidatingly hoping it would get them to back off. However, that certainly wasn’t happening.

    “Myasnik, why did you run?”

    Asked Celestia, keeping her eyes on him directly, watching for any sudden moves.

    “What do you think? It certainly isn’t because I am now a walking biological weapon that that could now cause trouble for everyone if I was so inclined. So you two are now here to make sure that doesn’t happen by any means necessary huh?”

    They both understood why he had thought that. After all, with what he was capable of, he could easily infiltrate even the highest of authority if he consumed someone like that and took their form. Not to mention know what they know as well. Yes, he was a dangerous element. Dangerous, but not unstoppable. Despite his new abilities, he still had the weaknesses of a human. Both Physical and emotional. Celestia took a few step closer to him. Myasnik was starting to get jumpy, his muscles throbbed and his eyes focused on her.

    “Stay back, I don’t want to hurt you, princess. Please…”

    She kept approaching him, slower this time. The mare reaches out to him with a gentle hand, trying her best to calm him down with her words. He was fighting the urge so much to lash out and attack her, his body was saying defense but his emotions were shouting ‘DON’T YOU DARE!’ Myasnik only closed his eyes and waited for whatever was going to happen. He felt a gentle hand rest on his head and then drift down to his jaw. He didn’t open his eyes, but Celestia fell to her knees, placing her other hand on his shoulder.

    “Myasnik. Remember what I told you the other day? No matter what would happen to you, we would get through it, together.”

    Luna walked over as well and kneeled by Myasnik as well. Clearly, he was in great stress shown by his clenched teeth and shaky breathing. He truly was expecting the worse to happen. In his mind, even a single threat that comes from him made him think that everything he had gotten here would be stripped away from him by a swift death. Once Celestia and Luna got to him though, his fears seemed to have subsided after her words. He slowly lifts his head up to gaze At Celestia who had a gentle and warm look on her face.

    “You saw what I did though. Everyone did. Do you really expect everyone to be okay with what I just did? Even back in my world, I would either be put to death immediately or held up in some lab to be tortured and die a slow painful death.”

    “But this isn’t your world, is it?”

    Luna asked as she was doing her best to calm him down as well. She did feel bad about invade his dream when she wasn’t welcomed, but at the same time, she was just trying to get to know him for personal reasons. It wasn’t because Celestia had asked her, not really. She wanted to befriend him.

    “No..it’s not. But this was much worse than I was expecting. This...thing that I have inside me is a perfected version of a very dangerous killer virus that nearly destroyed one of the biggest cities in our world because it was embedded in one man. He took down elite black ops soldiers and monsters that were overly transformed by the virus. And I am sure you know what a virus’s objective is. Consume everything organic.”

    “That may be true, Myasnik. But you said it was ‘perfected’. Something tells me that it is not so much a virus, but more of part of your genetics now. Which means it must be something that you can control. Am I right?”

    Asked Celestia as she lowered him down gently as he slid down the wall on his back. He nodded as his body became less and less tense.

    “Yes, I can control it. But that isn’t the issue. I received memories when the code merged with mine. And at the end of those memories, there was an explosion that carried the real virus. I have a feeling that if certain conditions aren’t met, I am essentially a ticking time bomb waiting to go off. Which could cause a widespread epidemic. Which is the last thing I want to happen here.”

    “And do you have a way to keep that from happening, Myasnik?”

    Ask Luna as she leans in for an answer just as her sister does. He lowers his head again, knowing the answer is quite grim.

    “You saw what I had to do. With that would-be assassin. If I don’t absorb a living being or creature for at least a few months, this is going to get quite bad. Because not only will it kill me, but it will kill many others as well.”

    “And you are right. Ending your life right here and now would prevent that from happen. But, I am afraid if I did that. I would be hurting quite a few ponies who care about you deeply, including my own student who has come to love you like her own flesh and blood. We will find a way to work around this, Myasnik. I promise. But for now, I believe you are needed elsewhere. Those three fillies must be wondering where you have gone, wishing you were there with them. Not to mention the others. I am sure they are worried as well…”

    Myasnik wasn’t too sure about that. He lowered his head and looked at his hands. No particular reason, it is just something he did when he wasn’t sure of himself or what was going to happen. But she hasn’t lied to him yet. So he slowly stood up and took in a deep breath, then released it slowly.

    “Whatever you have become, it doesn’t change who you are. Those ponies still love you either way. Those three need you especially. Don’t keep them waiting any longer, Myasnik

    Myasnik nodded slowly. Celestia gently took his hand and nodded as well.

    “Then off we go.”

    She looks to Luna.

    “Sister, could you see to it that this doesn’t become a public issue? That last thing we need is for this to get out in the open.”

    Luna nodded firmly, spreading her wings.

    “I am on it, sister.”

    She said before flying off, going to do just that. Celestia suddenly teleports Myasnik back to where the incident happened. They were all still there, hugging and comforting one another. Celestia gently pushed him forward, urging him to go and see that they smile once more.

    “Go on.”

    She whispered lightly. Myasnik nods and begins to make his way towards them. He kept his gaze to the ground though and his fists tight. Twilight was the first to look over and see him approach. The tears that she was shedding stopped as she saw him.

    “Myasnik…?”

    “Yeah Twi...it’s me/”

    Sweetie and the others heard his voice, they slowly brought their tearful gaze to him. Nope, it certainly wasn’t their mind and heart playing tricks on them. He was standing there. They all tore away from their sisters and tackled him to the ground.

    “Myasnik!!!”

    They all shouted in absolute joy, squeezing him as hard as they could, not letting go. Myasnik blinks a few times, not really expecting this reaction from them at all. Celestia was right it seemed. They didn’t back away from him as he approached, they all gathered around him will his marefriends smothered him with affectionate nuzzles and nearly robbed him of his air supply with their hugs. Myasnik finally sits up and looks down at them.

    “I honestly didn’t expect this kind of reaction from you three. But I am happy that my last thoughts did not become a reality…”

    Sweetie looks up at him with her beautiful green eyes.

    “Did you really think we’d stop loving you even after that? We were expecting something to happen.”

    “Yeah, we were expecting’ much worse actually. We thought you’d turn into some kinda monstrosity or somethin’. But thankfully you are still you. We are happy we didn’t lose the one we love so dearly…”

    Said Apple Bloom, as she nuzzles into him some more. Her arms wrapped tight around his waist.

    “We thought you had really died back there...that pony shot you through the head. I don’t know how, but you recovered from it so quickly. But I don’t care. You are alive and that is all that matters…”

    Scootaloo said s she placed her muzzle in the crock of his neck. Myasnik closes his eyes and brings his arms around his three marefriends. The doubt that was overflowing in his heart finally washed away by their words and comforting. The others gather around as well, happy to see that things were alright in the end. However, one thing was going on in Celestia’s mind as she watched this. A worry that seemed to bother her very much.

    I will have to speak with Myasnik if his abilities are true in seeing memories of that pony he absorbed. If they wanted him dead. Just what could we be dealing with in the very near future..?
