The train entered Ponyville station a couple hours later.
"Ah, home sweet home" AJ said. "Yeah, definitely" Dash replied. "Well I'll see you guys later, I gotta buy a house" I said. "Yeah, see you later" they all said. I than ran of. "It's nice to see him happy for once, well sort of" Rarity said. "Definitely, he did say he was banished from pretty much every town except Ponyville" Twilight concluded. The girls then parted ways and went to their homes.
The next day
The girls woke up to the sound of... what exactly? In the distance, they all gathered at the library.
"What is that awful noise?" Rarity asked. "I don't know girls but I think it's Overkill working on his house" Twilight said. "But shouldn't we be hearin hammerin an not... this whatever it is we're hearin" AJ remarked. "I guess, Rainbow could you go look for Overkill?" Twilight asked. "On it!"
Dash said before blasting out of the window. Five minutes later Dash returned. "He's on the edge of the Everfree forest, near the path that we usually take" Rainbow said. "What!? But that's dangerous!" Fluttershy said. "We gotta go help him!" Rarity said. "Okay, lead the way Rainbow!" Twilight said. "Alright follow me!" Dash replied. Fifteen minutes later they were at the edge of the Everfree, there they saw me as the stalker cutting wood. "Overkill what are you doing?" Twi asked.
"What does it look like, I'm building my house" I said. "Okay, but why are you using all of these weird materials?" AJ asked referring to the pile of energy crystals and copper wire. "I'm making it so that my house doesn't need candles to be lit, come back in three days I'm sure I'll be done by then" I said to them. "Okay, see you then" the girls said. "Bye" I replied. The girls then walked away leaving me to my work.
Three days later
The girls were already on there way to my house. "I'm curious to see what his house will be like?" Pinkie said. "Me too, I hope it's as awesome as mine" Dash said.
When they reached my house they saw a house just like any other.... right next to a 30 foot high, 100 foot long and 70 feet wide building. "WHAT THE BUCK!!!" Dash yelled. "What is that?" Twilight said. "There you are, I was already expecting you" I said as I came out of the small house. "Overkill, what is that" Twilight said pointing at the giant building. "Oh that, that's my workshop" I said. Upon that Twilights eyes sparkled (pun intended). "A workshop! What are you going to build there?" She asked. "Before I was banished from Trottingham I was working on a prototype tank. I figured I could continue my work here" I answered. "What's a tank, sounds awesome" dash said
"A tank is a weapon of war that uses high explosives to eliminate threats, well the old one did, I am currently working on another version that shoots lightning" I stated like it was the most normal thing in the world. "A weapon for war! Why would you make something like that!" Fluttershy yelled.
"Because it was an order from the princesses, they asked me to help the war effort with my machines" I said. "But there hasn't been a war in ages" Twilight said. "You see that's were you're wrong, if you would pay more attention to politics you would know that Equestria is currently at war with the griffons" I said. "But there is no war with the griffons!" Twilight said. "But that's because fourteen years ago Celestia requested a truce with the griffons, and there has been peace ever since. But Luna expects them to stop that truce when it has been 15 years since. So they asked me to make weapons" "And when is that" Twi asked. "Nine months" I replied. "Okay, how did you make all this in only three days?" She asked. "I put up a time bubble around this piece of ground, for me it feels like I have been working for three months strait" I said. They all stood slack jawed.
"Whatever" Dash said. The other five all nodded. "Okay, we were going to ask if you want to come to our weekly pet play date" Fluttershy asked. "I'd love to, REX!" I said as I called my pet. A small blue raptor walked out of my house. "What is that?" Twilight asked. "This is a raptor" I replied, as Rex walked next to me. "What's a raptor, I've never heard of such an animal before?" Fluttershy asked. "That's because this is the only one on Equis" I said. "Only one, but there have to be more if this one's here" Twilight stated. "True but Rex wasn't born, he was made" I said. "Made" the girls all asked. "Yeah, made. I created him some time ago, and has been my pet ever since" I said as Rex nuzzled me in my neck, since he was about as tall as the average pony. "What does he eat?" Dash asked. "Meat, he's a carnivore" I said. "Carnivore!?" Fluttershy yelled as she jumped behind AJ. "Don't worry, he doesn't eat ponies, only small rodents. He occasionally goest hunting in the forest" I said to calm Fluttershy. "Oh, okay" Fluttershy said softly.
A half hour later
The seven of us were already at the hill were the pet play date would be. Twilight had taken Owlishis, Fluttershy had taken Angel, AJ had taken Winona, Pinkie had Gummy, Rarity had Opal, Dash had Tank and I had taken Rex. The seven pets were happily playing now. "Mind if I sit next to you?" Dash asked me. "Not at all" I replied. She then sat next to me. "Rex sure is awesome" she said. "I know right" I replied again. "How does it feel?" Dash asked me. "How does what feel?" I asked back. "When you change form" she said. "Oh, hmm good question" I said as I shifted my right-front hoof into a wolfs paw and back. "I guess it's more alien than anything else" I concluded.
"Wanna try it?" I asked "What do you mean?" Wanna try shifting?" "I'd love to but I can't do that" she said with a sad expression. "But I can" I stated simply. "Yeah, you, not me" she said sadly.
She really wanted to try shifting. "Tell you what. I practiced shifting in the last three days and can make it so that you can shift for one hour. But not as good as me, sorry" she stood there with her jaw on the ground, that slack jawed expression was quickly replace by a huge grin before she tackled me. "Really you can do that!" She asked me. "Yes but only if you get of me" I said chuckling. "R-right" she said with a slight blush while she got of me. "Okay, are you sure you want this. It will hurt for the first minute or so when it pre-programs all knowledge on shifting into your brain" I warned her. "Of course!" She yelled. "Okay here goes nothing" I said. I then place my right-front hoof on her forehead. It started glowing blue soon enough. We stood like that for a minute before I took my hoof away. "Feel anything?" I asked her. "No not ye-" she cut herself of as she clutched her head and grunted in pain. Around 30 seconds later she snapped fell over and released a scream of pain. I immediately rushed by her side hearing the rest of the mane six yell her name, I cradled her in my hooves which were glowing a soft green as I tried to take away the pain, making her stop screaming and squirming. This only lasted a couple of seconds as I received a strong pair of hind hooves in my side sending me back while letting go of Dash causing her to scream again. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER!!!" AJ yelled at me. "I'll explain after I am done with her" I said calmly. "No you ain't getting anywhere near her!" She yelled at me.
"Please AJ don't make me do this" I said. "Do what, kill all of us!" She yelled.
I then shifted into the colossus, ran past AJ and to Dash, startling the rest which were standing next her. I picked her up in my massive arms sat down and continued what I was doing before. Dash quickly stopped screaming and squirming and before long was lying calmly in my arms.
"You're taking away the pain" Fluttershy said. "Yes, that's what I've been doing all along" I said.
"What exactly were you doing?" Twilight asked me. "I asked her if she wanted my powers for an hour, she said yes, I warned her for the pain that would come because the knowledge on how to use the powers would immediately be imprinted in her head" I replied. The five of them gasped as they looked at Rainbow seeing as she now had fangs. "And why does she have those?" Rarity asked me. "It's a side-effect of the powers. The chaos magic looks into your head, finds what you're afraid of the most and partially turns you into it, becau-" I was cut of when Dash woke up and bit me in my neck, burying her fangs in it and started sucking. I grunted in pain. The rest was frozen in shock. "Dash" she flinched. "Let me go" I said sternly. Upon that Dash pulled back allowing me to see her now crimson eyes. Which quickly widened when she realized what she was doing just now. "Oh my gosh I'm so sorry, I didn't know what I was doing it was just instinct!" She practically yelled. "It's fine you were just doing what was necessary for your survival" I reassured her. "Oh, okay" she said. "You're gonna stay at my place for the week" I said to her. "What why?"
"Because somepony just had to interrupt me while I was healing you, I overshot with the amount of chaos magic I gave you, which means you're gonna be stuck like that for the rest of the week" I stated simply. "You mean I'm gonna be a vampony for a week!" "You might be. Or you're stuck like that for the rest of your live. It depends on mine and your luck" I concluded. "What, she's gonna be stuck like that for a week, maybe more!" Rarity asked me. "Yes" I said. She promptly fainted.
"I think we should leave a little early don't you think?" Twilight said. We all nodded. "Oh, I can't wait to give a Rainbow-is-now-a-vampony party!" Pinkie said bouncing all over the place.
Dash and I just smiled at her antics, the both of us revealing our sharp teeth. "Com on Rex let's go home" I said as I called Rex. "Yeah come on Tank" Dash said as she called her pet, we then went on our way to my house.
When we were walking home I couldn't help but notice that Dash was staring hungrily at my neck, this was sure gonna be a long week.
