Remember the name

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I woke up with a pounding headache, a new scar on my dark skin. Man those monsters are hard to shoot! I had to bring out the big guns to kill those things. I wasted too much energy and passed out on them. They were horrible. Well, just another thing to add to my memory of horrors. And yes, I know you are there watching me (which I find slightly creepy, but I have sensed worse) I guess I will ignore you for now. I may as well tell you who I am. My name is Hysteria. Weird name, I know, but  it was what I was given. What I am is an immortal and not the normal kind either, I can still die. Just like anyone but it’s much harder and every life I live, I take something away from it.

I am 6 foot 3, 195 pounds, well-muscled, 10000 years old and every time I die… Well, I normally go to a different dimension and time period. I have been through so many things, seen many things; some beautiful, some not so much. Oh, and did I mention that my eyes change color with my mood, and I can store my important weapons in another dimension? Oh one more thing. I have the title of god slayer for... well, murdering a few gods (apparently slaying gods is a big deal or something) and that’s why I am immortal. I made a deal with one. Ok, now horrors dead. Now time to watch ponies yay!

    I start on my way home and nearly crapped myself first of all because the world ripping open does not happen every day. And I am even more surprised as shadow snakes come out catching me by the legs.

“FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUck…” I say as I am pulled into the rift. *Plop* (Yes, dimensional rifts make that sound) and next thing I know is lots of dirt. (not tasty by the way) The last thing I see is well…. dirt, then I blacked out. I was awoken several hours later by a loud roar. I looked up and saw a giant purple bear thing. I was like, this thing is massive (lol massive) I think to myself, trying not to grab the bear’s attention, but being me that does not go over so well as I try to sneak away.

Well, let’s just say I have a habit of making things explode when I’m scared, and a bear that looked like it could kick Godzilla’s ass and then eat it for a snack… well it puts even me on the edge. Don’t look at me that way! I am not Krotos, I don’t kill giant oversized creatures for a warm-up. And I meet the guy. He was a dick. He killed me for no reason. I was just sitting on the ground and then he just walks up and stabs the hell out of me and that was my 12th death. Man, that shit hurt… I will…. hmm actually, I don’t know what I would do. I would rip his soul from his body, but Hades tried that and we know how that turned out, don’t we? And for those who don’t… well let’s just say he had the tables turned on him.

Enough about that off-topic. I had to sneak away. Maybe I could just fly away I thought, which made my wings respond in kind then I… WAIT ONE GOD DAM MINUTE! I NOW HAVE WINGS?! FUCK FUCK FUCK WHEN I NEEDED THEM 3,563 YEARS AGO, NO I DIDN’T HAVE THEM!! While I was ranting in my head, my wings responded to my anger. They split in two places on each wing, stiffened, and electricity hummed off them, not only startling the Ursa(not a good idea BTW) it also pissed him the hell off. Now back in my head, my rage moment over, I noticed a hot breath on my back. Awwww man… this is going to suck, I thought to myself as I was launched across the forest by a few well-placed swipes by the Ursa’s hand. I was able to dodge the claws, but not its paw. I flew for a little while, then I flew through at least three trees before hitting the ground with an earth shaking thud.

    I sighed. Yummy dirt food of the gods, just what I need. “Man do I hate the taste of dirt,” I said to the air now. Then to brutally murder that Ursa… odd, why does that sound familiar? I say to myself.

I shrug the thought off. I’ll remember later, when things are not trying to kill me. Now, let’s see what my wings can do. I start to flap them and… well the energy that was stored in them came rocketing forward, straight toward the tree in front of me, completely destroying it in a huge conflagration. I flew away from the trees I just sent up in flames.

“Fuck! These wings are nothing but trouble,” I sigh, “man, this is so not going well. I am going to end up dead before I have been here for like 10 minutes, and I almost died twice already. Jeez, can’t an immortal get a break… and that break have nothing to do with my bones. Now let’s get this shit started. I start concentrating my vision. As it seems to fragment, I turn around and look into my pocked dimensions that I use to store my weapons and (hey is that my … OMG it’s my jolly saber! The sword I made out of jolly ranchers it’s freaking awesome!) with a smile on my face, my eyes turning a light blue color. I pull out my katana.

    I feel a familiar presence in my mind. A cool female voice is heard. “Hello Hysteria. Long time no see,” said the presence.

“It has been a long time, hasn’t it? Hime or maybe you would prefer English and want me to just call you princess,” I say with a laugh.

“Ugh… you know I hate when you call me that, just call me your majesty. Maybe like that one girl did. Oh you remember that time?” she said with a trollific smile.

    “Jeez ok fine, no need to go there sweating bullets at the memory. I will call you by what we agreed on, Terra.

She smiles at that. “Thank you.”

“Know where is your sister? Where is Luxa?” I asked Terra, to which she shrugs then I hear another quieter voice.

“I am over here,” she says.

    “Ah there you are,” I say picking up a pair of black and gold fingerless gloves and a pair of shoes the same color as the gloves, which as I put them on, started to change. Going over my fingers and becoming armored for battle, the shoes going up my leg somewhat, I look at them, checking them over. Then I notice something is missing.

“Umm Luxa, where are your rings?” I ask her.

     “Oh teehee I forgot them.” She then floats 2 rings. One has a black and red emblem on it and the other has a black and orange one. They slide onto my middle fingers.

    Seeing this done, I concentrate my resolve into the rings and 2 huge black and orange flames flare out of them. They wrap around the katana, then settle around the sword as a twin colored aura, but around hands. They burn with a color-changing fire and I do a test kick.

Whoosh! flames flare as soon as I start the kick. I alert the Uras to my presence. Then with a devilish smile and the whites of my eyes turning black and the inner eye turning a yellow color except for the iris this stayed black (they only change that color in battle mode angry or if I’m serious), I yell “Yo bitch this is for flinging me across the forest!” as I send a gywumbis (it’s a word, I know cuz I say it is so there) orange flame shooting across the forest striking it in the face and some of its chest, quickly consuming it as it screams and thrashes around on the ground in pain for several minutes before the flames dissipate, revealing a giant stone Ursa. Then with another evil grin, I fly to the top of the Ursa, bring my sword to the bear and slash straight down the now-stone Ursa’s middle. Black flames pourfrom the stone. It starts to collapse in on itself as a mini black hole forms, sucking in the stone Ursa. The sky even darkens a little from the black hole. Hysteria then went around making certain that nothing was left.

    Somewhere in Ponyville…

    Rainbow Dash was flying around, moving clouds for the storm later that night until she saw a bright orange flash and heard a massive roar of pain. She thought she saw an ape-like thing with burning hands. She stared in that direction for several minutes until she heard somepony calling her name. She looked at the ground to see Twilight with the rest of her friends, except oddly Pinkie Pie yelling, trying to get her attention.

She flew down. “Hey did anypony see that?” Rainbow asked her friends.

    “See what?” asked Twilight in confusion, “We just heard the loud roar in the forest and I felt some odd magic from the forest. We are going to investigate. Why? Did you see something Rainbow?” Twilight asked her.

Rainbow Dash thought of telling her what she had seen, but decided against it. “No I didn’t see anything,” she said unconvincingly, which AJ picked up on immediately.

     “Ar ya sher bout that sugarcube?” AJ said, not believing a word of what Rainbow had said.

“Umm yes. Hey where is Pinkie Pie?” she asked trying to change the subject and luckily for her it worked.

    Twilight answered first. “We don’t know where she is. She just kind of vanished after that party yesterday. She just said bye to everypony then poof in a literal puff of smoke, she was gone. We looked for her, but she was nowhere to be found. But right now, we don’t have time to look for her. We can look later. Now come on, you fly on ahead and we will catch up soon.”

    “Ok, I am on it,” said Rainbow with a salute she then flew off, a rainbow trail behind her.

         In the Everfree forest …

Hysteria sat on a stump, checking his wounds. He was fine if you didn’t count half his ribs nearly broken. Three of them would shake as he moved. He had many cuts from all the trees he went through, and the horrors he battled did quite a number on him. He was extremely tired. He was about to take a nap when he saw an odd moving rainbow. He frowned, “Hey Terra, Luxa, are you seeing this or am I crazy?”

“Yes,” they said together. Ok… yes to which question he asked them? To both was Terra’s answer.

    Whew ok, for a second there… Hey I am not crazy!!!! I think.

“Um maybe. Ok, I am a little bit, but that’s an ok amount.” He could hear them laughing their asses off at him. “Fucking trolls!” he yelled out loud. He then thought about what he had just done.

Not my best idea in the middle of a forest filled with more than likely hostile beasts. Well as my teacher would say, “Hide in the shadows and erase your breath” as he hid in a tree, becoming nearly invisible.

“Thank you assassin training. Oh, I should also put on my ranger cloak,” he said as he pulled out a forest colored camo cloak. More words of a good teacher: “Trust the cloak.” Now Hysteria looked invisible to anyone.

   Sky over forest…

Rainbow Dash was searching for anything out of the ordinary (she meant even for the forest). She had been searching for at least 10 minutes with no luck until she heard somepony cussing on the forest floor. She then jets down to investigate.

“The buck happened here! Looks like somepony was launched several feet, threw a fireball, then started spamming random chunks of stone everywhere.”

Just then, a giant stone head broke the tree it was on and started to fall on an unsuspecting Rainbow dash.

    Hysteria’s first reaction was to squee like a four year old (not smart when you’re trying to hide) at seeing his fave pony that caused him to shake the tree he was in, which was the straw that broke the camel’s back, you could say. So ya, the tree started to break, he flipped out of the tree as fast as he could as to not get flattened like a pancake. Grabbing Rainbow in one hand on his downward rotation and shooting a laser out of his face on the upward rotation, it then exploded awesomely. He proceeded to make a bubble shield with his last grenade as soon as he landed. Stone rained down everywhere after it was done. He took down the shield and put his fist in the air, made himself hover and yelled,

“MY NAME IS HYSTERTIA AND YOU WILL FEAR MY LASER FA-“ that was then bucked with an extremely high amount of force. It didn’t push him away like you would think, it made him shake like she was trying to make all of his hair fall out with pure strength. It was like a martial arts move or something. The blow landed right into his ribs, making the three weakest ones fly out of their rightful place.

“Why u do dis?” was all Hysteria said before the pain really hit him. He blacked out… well his mind did but his body kept going.

AJ bucked the beast holding her friend. It landed with a satisfying thud and some cracking sounds. It then went proceeding to fall over.

    “Ha! Take that ya varmit. Don’t let me catch yew messin’ with ma friends again. Ah ain’t gonna show as much mercy next time.”  AJ then proceeded to walk away until Rainbow tackled her freaking out.

    “AHHHHHH AJ WHY DID YOU DO THAT OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH IS HE DEAD?! HE CAN’T BE DEAD!! HE JUST SAVED MY LIFE HE CANT JUST DIE AFTER THAT!”

    Rainbow Dash was still screaming at a now freaked-out AppleJack. Everypony else was also freaked out by Rainbow. So nopony noticed Hysteria get up at first until they all felt a chill. They all turned around to a frightening sight. Hysteria had gotten back up, but he wasn’t all there. For one, he wasn’t speaking English anymore. All his teeth were razor sharp. He wore a full set of black and red armor that seemed specifically made for him with a helm that covered most of his face, except his eyes. Steam seemed to come from his mouth. They also couldn’t see his eyes. He proceeded to roar and a huge gout of green fire that cracked with lightning erupted from his mouth. His wings were razor sharp and practically screaming from the energy in them. Rarity took this time to faint as did Fluttershy.

     Luxa and Terra looked at each other wide-eyed. “Holy shit,” they said together.

“We have to stop him!” said Terra.

“Yes we do.” Luxa nodded. They transformed out of their weapon forms.

    There was suddenly a flash of light and there stood two women. The taller one was holding a katana and the smaller, younger looking one was in a fighting stance with a pair of flaming ringed gloves.  They turned toward the ponies and waved them off. The ponies did as they were told. Twilight picking up Fluttershy and AJ picking up Rarity, they proceeded to gallop off. They turned back toward their opponent, only to see he was already in front of them with a sharp-toothed grin on his face.

       Running through the forest.

“What was that all about?!” yelled AppleJack at her friends.

Everypony shrugged. They were as confused as she was. Suddenly there was an eruption of flame behind them. One was black orange and green. Another was blue and the last was a red color.

“What in the Sam hell was that?! I don’t know or want to find out.”

  Back at newly made clearing.

Terra and Luxa are working in perfect harmony together, but even though there are two of them, they are having a tough time beating him. Terra launches a barrage of lightning fast attacks, but even at her speed, barely any attacks are getting through. Just then, Luxa appears and lands a combo on Hysteria. He proceeds to electrocute her with a palm to her stomach stunning her for a bit. She quickly recovers and sends a kick, with all of her energy in it, crashing into his head. She hit him so hard that he flew almost completely out of the forest. He lands terribly, breaking a wing and incapacitating his body, waking him up in the process.

    Hysteria looking around unable to move. What. The . fuck. Just.  Happened. He gets out before a wave of pain hits him.

“Son of a bitch!” He gets out before slipping back into darkness.

Back at clearing…

“Damn! Did you have to hit him so hard? He could be dead for all we know,” said Terra, wide-eyed marveling at how far he went.

    Luxa blushing madly, “Ahahaha sorry… I got caught up in the moment.”

Terra sighs at her sister. “All right, let’s go find him.”

    They then proceed to walk in the general direction he flew in. Several hours later, they eventually found him. After several hours still knocked out, he had massive bruises on his back, cuts all over his body, and his breathing was labored. If he was a normal human, he would be dead already.

    “We have got to save him! Some force ripped him to this dimension and we have to find out what,” Luxa said with concern in her voice.

    “But what we only know is how to fight. Hysteria was the one who could heal also and that wouldn’t even help us. He can’t heal himself because of some magic bullshit in that one world with the magic women who thought men with magic were going to break the world or something (read the Wheel of Time series and you will know what I am talking about). So after that, he couldn’t heal himself but other spells oddly are fine,” said Terra in annoyance, “but still, he could help himself with his medical knowledge. So then, what do we do?” she asked sadly.

    “I know!” said Luxa with a new fire in her eyes “Let’s send up flares into the sky and see if we can get help!” she said excitedly.

Terra thought about it for a second, then nodded in agreement. It was a good idea.

“I like it. Let’s do that and hope for the best.”

They then joined hands, pointed them toward the sky, and with the last of their strength they fired off a color changing fireball. It went rocketing upward into the sky and started shining like a star. They proceeded to pass out from exhaustion. They changed back into their weapon forms and went to sleep.

Skies over Ponyville…

    Rainbow Dash flew about, thinking of what had happened today. She was kind of sad that she couldn’t help him, so she had flown to where she had last seen him.

“Wow. What happened here?! It’s like something exploded.” She walked over to a tree. It was an odd blue color and its leaves fell out in slow motion. It looked cool actually.

She moved onto another tree. It looked normal except it looked kind of shiny like someone had polished it. She flew up and landed on a branch. It didn’t even bend when she landed on it, which she found odd. She then bit down on a leaf which didn’t even shake when she pulled on it. She started to pull with all her strength. It finally gave and hit the ground with a hearty thud.

“Dang what is up with these leaves.” She put the leaf in her pack. Then, as an afterthought, she picked up a blue one and put it into some trees that looked like they had tried to eat themselves and succeeded. The things that had once been trees, were now marbles. She searched through them until she found one to her liking. It was kind of shiny and had red flame burning in it. She found another with a blue flame in it. She dropped it in her pack, where it slowly floated into it. She looked for a little longer, finding more marbles with an orange flame surrounded in a blue flame in it, and she found one more that seemed to have a black hole slowly spinning in it, again surrounded in a blue flame. Then she remembered why she had come here.

“Oh buck I better start looking for him.” She then took to the air in search of Hysteria. “Hmm… what happened to these trees? They looked like I crashed through them. Hey, what’s up with that star? It’s really low and it’s the same color as the marbles. She proceeded to fly over there. She made it in record time, oh let’s say three seconds flat (you thought I was going to say ten didn’t you ☺) She then landed with a flourish and immediately saw Hysteria’s battered body and was again freaking out.

“Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh I have to get Fluttershy. She will know what to do. Stay here, I will be right back.” She then when racing off to Fluttershy’s cabin.

         Fluttershy’s cabin…

Fluttershy was feeding a family of squirrels when a rainbow blur came, picked her up, grabbed her medical kit, and flew her halfway there before she realized she was several feet in the air.

“Ahhhhhh!” she screamed in her tiny voice, barely heard by Rainbow Dash. “Fluttershy, it’s ok. It’s Rainbow,” she said soothingly trying to calm the Pegasus in her arms. She spoke soothingly for several minutes until she had calmed her friend down and proceeded to explain what was happening.

“Ok do you remember that thing from before?” Fluttershy nods. “Ya well before Applejack bucked him and went berserk, he saved me from being crushed. You know what happened after that?” Fluttershy nods again.

“Well what you don’t know is that he was somehow flung across the forest. He’s hurt really bad and I need you to help him.”

“What?!” Fluttershy exclaims. “But he is so scary. Did you see him after AJ bucked him?”

“Yes, I did. But I think that only happened because of what she did. You know, I don’t think it was his intention to hurt anypony, I think he was just defending himself.”

Fluttershy thinks about it for a second then nods in agreement. “Ok I will help him,” she says with a new determination in her small voice.

After a while they make it to Hysteria’s position. Fluttershy gasps in horror at his condition.

“This is just awful!” she says, checking him over. “He has 3 broken ribs, a broken wing, 7 bruises, and several scratches. I will do what I can, but after we will need to get him to the hospital.” She proceeds to bandage his body and reset his wings. she also tells Rainbow to go get Twilight so they could carry him to the hospital.

  Library…

Twilight Sparkle was reading a book called “Creatures in Equestria”. She was wondering what it was. She pondered this for several minutes before one rainbow-maned Pegasus came flying in and was trying to pull her out the door. She surrounded her friend in a purple aura, stopping her. She then set her down.

“Ok Rainbow, what’s the problem?” asked Twilight and let her friend out of her telekinesis. “Take a deep breath and tell me what happened.”

“Somepony is hurt and needs your help!” was all Rainbow got out before her friend stopped her.

“What?! Oh no,” exclaimed Twilight, “Why didn’t you say so?” Twilight proceeded to run out the door.

Rainbow sat there waiting for a few seconds with a smirk on her face until a blushing Twilight walked back in smiling sheepishly.

“Um I don’t know where to go so… umm I guess I am going to follow you…” she said to a now laughing Rainbow Dash.

“Ok one sec, that was funny. I needed that. Whew, all right lets go.” And they went galloping off in the right direction this time thankfully.

      Forest edge  

“Uh what happened? Where am I and why is there a pink maned pony checking me out? I know I’m sexy, but damn,” said Hysteria groggily.

   Startling Fluttershy, she realized he was awake. She hid so fast it looked like she used instant transmission, startling Hysteria In the process.

    “What the hell?! Where did she go?!” he yelled. “That shit was scary as fuck! How did she do that!?!?!?” He moved his head as to not hurt his body more than he had already had. He looked around until he spied a shivering bush. He calmed down a little.

“Ok didn’t teleport, just hid really fast. Now to calm her down somehow.”

“Uh hello there. Did you help me?” he asked in his most soothing voice. But all he heard from the bush was one of the cutest eeps of his life.

“It’s ok, I am not going to hurt you. Shoot, I can’t even move, so can you please come out where I can see you?” As he spoke the bush shook less and less until she poked her head out of the bush.

Yes its working Hysteria said in his mind. “Did you patch me up?” he asked. She nodded meekly to him, hiding one of her eyes behind her hair. Then it clicked. His eyes widened several inches, then he put on sunglasses to hide his eyes. No need to freak out anypony. Good thing she wasn’t looking directly at him.

“NOW I REMEMBER WHY YOU ALL LOOKED FAMILIAR!” Hysteria yelled upsetting his ribs sending him onto a coughing fit until he vomited blood on the ground.

Hysteria’s yelling had sent Fluttershy scrambling back into the bush. She sat there until she heard him start coughing and then reaching she was by his side in an instant.

    “Are you okay? Turn sideways so you won’t drown on blood.” His fit passed and she put him back on his back. “You can’t exert yourself too much or you can make your wounds worse,” said Fluttershy firmly.

    Hysteria nodded. I can’t tell them I know how they are or else Boom! Hysteria thought to himself (ever wonder what happened to Pluto? There was a show about people from there and I went to a dimension where that was real and I let it slip what I knew. And well… a bunch of events happened and know there are no Pluto’s in any dimension. Yup I made Pluto extinct, sorry) ya no extinct ponies is good.

“Thanks for your concern miss?”

    Fluttershy was her barely heard reply.

   “What a beautiful name,” he said making her blush from the compliment. “Dawwwww,” he heard himself say out loud before he could stop himself. She looked at him oddly.

    “Did you say something?” she asked.

“Uh… no nothing. I have said nothing at all. Hehehe…” he said nervously. I need a distraction he thought to himself. Iiiiidddeeaaa.

“Um Fluttershy, do you like animals?” he asked, knowing the answer.

“Oh yes, very much. I take care of lots of them,” she said with a small smile on her face.

“Oh I have an animal. He is an albino actually. Want to see him? He is kind of big, but he is actually very nice.”

    She doesn’t even think about it and is already nodding her head in agreement.

    “Ok all you have to do is get a little of my blood, then do you see the markings on my arm? Wipe it on there and stand back.”

    She does as she is told. After she gets behind a tree, he starts chanting. The markings arrange themselves into the form of a phoenix, then it jumps off his arm in a flash of light and perches on a branch. It is an elegant snow white phoenix. It gives a soft coo of concern after it looks at him.

“Ah don’t give me that. You know you have seen me in worse condition and pull through. I am already being helped. Now say hi to Fluttershy, Felix.”

    The phoenix looks around until he spots the stunned pony with her jaw on the ground then looks back to Hysteria with a skeptical look on its face.

     Hysteria laughs at the look. “Yes, go say hi. Oh and the ones behind the tree also. You can come out now,” Hysteria called out.

And out came two stunned pones, also with jaws on the ground. They look from him to the phoenix and back.

Um wow can everyone from where you’re at do that.

“I don’t know. They’re dead as far as I know,” Hysteria said with a sad frown, “as far as I know.”

“Oh I am sorry for asking that. I didn’t mean to pry.”

Hysteria smiled at that. “How would you have known? Think nothing of it. It’s not even that bad anymore. It’s been 10,000 years since then…” he then trailed off, realizing his slip up. “Um forget you heard that.”

Again, jaws hit the floor. “You are 10000 years old?!” they asked him in shock.

“Well, no my body’s 25, but all together years are 10,000 today. Happy birthday to me. Yay.”

Well, seeing everypony’s in shock and I’m slowly dying, I am going to stop sitting up now. I immediately fall over on the ground. I pull out a gallon of OJ from my storage dimension.

“Fluttershy,” I moan in pain, “if I die, you can have my orange juice handing her the jug of juice.” The last thing I hear before I slip on again into darkness is Rainbow Dash telling Twilight to hurry up and levitate me to the hospital.
