January 2,
I burst trough the trees to face down the arrogant griffin.
My white fur was cyan. I had a rainbow mane and pony's tail. My hind legs were hooves.
Gil cocked an eyebrow, “What the hell are you?”
I smiled, “You don't recognize us. You've been fighting us for a while now.”
“You are that Shirotora guy, right? Where's Dash?” He asked
“We are both. You can call us Blade Wing.” I grinned.
He charged at me at breakneck speed, swiping his talon. I merely brushed it aside and swept across his face with my own natural weapon. He cried out in pain. He looked up to glare at me and saw nothing but clear sky.
“What's wrong, Tweety? You taught you taw a puddy tat.” I mocked behind him.
“What the he...” I flipped kicked that statement to an early end.
“You did, you did tee a puddy tat.” I laughed.
He flew back up and glared daggers at me, “It'll take a lot more then that to hurt me. I’m going to kill you, and then I’m going to slaughter every pony in that retarded town you call home.”
I stopped laughing. He went too far, “You threaten us. Fine. You try to kill us. Fine. But you threaten our friends, our family, our home.” I finished the statement with action.
I dove at him and swung my fist with such power that at the moment of impact the sky erupted in a prismatic wave. He went flying toward the ground only to be met by another multicolor fist, then another, and another.
Most ponies have never even seen a single rainboom, but the ponies of Ponyville were blessed. In the skies over the nearby forest, the sky was erupting in dozens of the legendary things.
I was finished, it was time to end this. After one last hit I caught him by the back of the neck.
“I told you when we began, I was going to tear out your throat.” with my other paw I drove my claws deep into his flesh and grabbed hold of his trachea. With a jerk I removed the vital airway as blood sprayed over me.
The pain and fear in his eyes soon faded as his life ebbed.
I flew down to where Dash and I fused to retrieve my sword. I returned it to it's saya and flew back to the outskirts of the forest where Jynx waited.
“Shiro?” she looked at me in disbelief, “Is that you?” she looked down at the gruesome creature in my paws, “Is that Gil?!”
I released the fusion and Dash separated from me taking her color, mane, and tail with her, “Yes it is. To both your questions. Someone hired Gil to kill me. He kidnapped Dash to lure me to him. As you can see his plan worked.”
“What are you going to do with him?” Jynx asked me.
“Uh, unless anyone has a problem... well... I was needing to hunt...” I hoped they would get what I meant with out making my say it. They did.
“Oh.” Jynx said, “I say it's about time he was actually useful. Just let us leave before you... ya know...”

I put what I didn't eat in a small red fridge with a yellow “DO NOT OPEN” tag on it. Turns out griffin doesn't taste like chicken. It's more like bear, but not quite as greasy. I was totally blown away by that.
I put a feather I pulled from Gil's wing on my dresser. I took it as a trophy for my first real fight.
I looked at what diner had on him. Other than the sword, he had a few bits, another one of those potions, and a black pearl-like thing about the size of a golf ball. I was getting ready to take them all to Twilight. If she can't figure out what they are, she could take the potion to Zecora, and the send the pearl to Canterlot.
I walk out of my room and into the living room. Jynx was waiting for me.
“Are you finished with... diner.” She asked. She was still not use to my diet.
“Yea, let's get this stuff over to the library.” I said as I went over to the door.
It didn't take long to get to Twilight's tree house. Twilight was talking to Rainbow Dash when we walked in.
“Sup, Skittles, Princess Purple.” I said, “I come bearing gifts.” I laid the pouch I took off the former griffin on the table, “One evil, creepy pearl thingy, and one psyco, power boosting potion.”
Twilight looked at them like a kid on Christmas, “Oh, boy new things to study.” she clopped her hooves together with excitement.
“You better let me in on the investigation.” Jynx said, “There might be some rare magic in those, and I want to know if there is.”
“I'd like to help, too.” I said hoping to learn more about magic.
Dash face-hoofed, “I’m surrounded by eggheads.”
“Damn right, better get use to it.” I said
“I prefer the bad flank Shiro.” she said, “Or even better 'Blade Wing'. My awesome and your awesome in one now that's bad flank.”
“What was that like?” Jynx asked her little sister, “Fusing with Shiro.”
“It's kinda hard to explain.” Rainbow Dash put a hoof to her chin in thought, “I could see, hear, smell, and feel everything Shiro did, but I had no control over anything. At least I don't think I did. Everything he did it felt kinda like I did it, too, so maybe I was controlling us in a way.”
“You definitely had an influence.” I said, “I felt a lot more cocky then usual. It was a whole different felling then with Philomena. With her I’m still just me, but with RD I was someone else entirely.”
“What made it different?” asked Twilight. She had produced a scroll and quill, and was taking notes.
“They're two different kinds of fusion.” I brought up my instinctive knowledge of fusion, “Philomena is a 'bond fusion'. Which means I can summon her at need. I can use her abilities, and I’m about three times stronger.
“What Dash and I did was a 'true fusion'. Which means a whole new being is created, in this case, Blade Wing. I still had access to her abilities but, unlike a bond fusion, I also had access to mine. The other difference is that I was three times more powerful then both of us together.
“It was kinda cool, but I don't think I’d want to do it again. I like being me.” she said and yawned, “I’m beat, good night.” with that she flew out the observatory window.
“We should get back as well.” Jynx said making for the door, “Night Twi.”
“See ya tomorrow, Twilight.” I said.
“Goodnight, you two.” she called back.
We went back to our house and sat by the fireplace.
“Well, today was eventful.” I said.
“Hah, no kidding.” she looked at me and smiled.
“What?” I asked.
“First you save Twilight, then me twice and now you saved Rainbow.” she looked at me with loving eyes, “You haven't even been in Equestria for a month, but you've done more than most ponies do in year.”
I got kinda embarrassed by her praise and turned away so she wouldn't see me blush, “I just did what anyone would do. It's nothing special.”
She climbed into my lap and turned my head to look at her“But it was special, and not just anypony would do what you've done. When everypony else would run away, you stand your ground to protect us.”
I looked into her big magenta eyes. God they were beautiful. SHE was beautiful. I couldn't help myself, I leaned in and kissed her.
She wrapped her hooves around my neck and her tongue joined mine.
She broke the kiss to ask me a wonderful question, “Do you want to go to my room?”
I put one paw on her back and the other on her flank. I stood up, and carried her to her bed and gently set down before climbing in after her.
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
We laid in bed, panting after our vigorous activities. Jynx winced and looked down at her flank, “That kinda hurt.” she said.
I looked down and saw five red marks where my claws had dug into her flank when we climaxed. My eyes widened with horror as I realized what I did.
“Oh, god, I’m so sorry are you OK? I’ll get the first aid kit.” I ran off and retrieved the box and started cleaning her. They weren't deep.
“It's fine. I didn't even feel it until we laid down.” her reassurance was enough to let me relax,
We held each other for several minutes be fore she spoke, “You lied you know.”
“What did I lie about?” I was hurt by that accusation.
She just giggled and said, “You said you would never eat a pony.”
