// Story: The Brother's Adventure 
// by lightningman 
//------------------------------//

My name is Xayvier Chapman. My Brother is Damyon Chapman. I was the only one in the family that knew he was a brony. I personally didn't watch the show, but after damyon told me about his adventure in Equestria, I started watching the show with my brother. It was amazing how sneaky he was when watching the show. Over the show, He could hear footsteps going down the stairs and his hands moved so fast that they were a blur. And before our parents got downstairs, A different show was on. We used Netflix obviously.
Oh, also I know my brother's secret. I knew he was lightningman. In fact, I helped him learn his powers. And in return, he shared some of his power with me. He didn't give me the ability to change into lightningman, and he didn't give me the ability to manipulate lightning or anything like that. but I was stronger and faster than most athletes. but there was one set back. I got scars. and not the cool scars like warriors get, but scars that if someone saw me, they would run away in terror.



I should also say that I have Navy blue hair like my brother, And to keep my scars hidden I wear black all the time. This includes gloves. My hood covers my entire face and nobody can see an inch of skin on me. I can easily hide during night time with my clothes.
Anyway back to the main topic. I had gotten powers from my brother, but I got scars. But I also got a visit from someone. Someone I thought was fictional. The Outsider.
That's right. I met The damn Outsider from Dishonoured. He said something about me having great potential. And something else about being entertaining and offered to give me power that could rival my brother's. I obviously wanted to help him out in fighting some crime around the city. So I agreed, and I have to say, getting precision burned HURT LIKE HOLY HELL! Now you would expect that. "it's getting burned, of course, it would hurt." But no. It was like I was getting burned on the inside as well as the outside. Both at the same time and the power of the flame was increased 5 times. It also burned every time. It eventually got to the point where I barely noticed it. At that point, I was highly resistant to pain. Not as much as Deadpool, but still resistant. But I have questions. How is it, that both I and my brother attracted very weird things? Him, Equestria. And me, Dishonoured. How?
I also carry two weapons around with me at all times. A fold-out baton and a fold out sword.




For the most part, I don't use them. I only used the sword once, and that was when I was facing down a black bear that got extremely angry with me. It was a male. I still regret killing it. And I used my baton a total of 6 times. All of those times to knock someone out and hand them to the police. Would you believe it that the police thought I was lightningman before Damyon showed he was him?
Now you would think that before I got my scars I would be outgoing right? WRONG! I hated attention. Whenever I was in the hallway, I always hugged the wall. I spoke as few times as possible. My voice was very deep and hoarse from using it so few times. Hell, I was only fricking 14. Younger than my brother and I had a deeper voice than him.
My parents had just pulled me out of the school my brother went to. The reason for this was because the people there found out about my scars and I was shunned as an outcast. This happened during the fire that sucked my brother to Equestria. My hood had burned and I had to take it off. My parents decided to transfer me to a school called Canterlot High. At first, I didn't think much about it. If it would get away from the people who outcasted me then I would be happy. So we changed houses to this place. And we dealt with the gangs as I said. And now it's about to be my first day at Canterlot High. Needless to say, I was worried. How would I explain it if one of the teachers ask me to take off my hood? Everyone would see my scars. Or what if there are metal detectors at the school? How would I respond to people seeing I keep two weapons on me at all times? And how would the other students react to my clothing choices or how I act? I sigh as I was stressing myself out. I packed everything up and I went to my brother's room. I knocked on the door and he called out.
"Hold on, Xayvier!" I liked him obviously. Not just cause of his powers, but because even though he was older than me by two years, he treated me as if he and I were exactly the same age. He then opened the door and asked. "Yeah? What did you want?" he asked as he lets me in. I go sit down on his bed and sigh. He looks at me worried and asks. "What's wrong."
"How do you think they'll react to me? I'm worried." I say.
"Come on, Xayvier. This is a brand new start for both of us." He says. I look at him questioningly. "Come on. Everyone in school knows my secret. This will be a new experience for me too."
"I guess that's true." I sigh. "but if something goes wrong. please help me out at that school."
"I'll pinkie promise if you want me too." He smiles. I smile at him. and say. "That would be great."
"I promise that if anything goes wrong at your new school, that I will help you in any way I can. Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." He goes through the motions. I smile and hug him. This surprised him. I had never hugged him before. I then get up and put my headphones in. I put my playlist on and smiled slightly as the song started.

I then start walking towards the school. it was quite a ways away but it was easy for me since I didn't have to worry about long ways to avoid gangs. I took a bunch of shortcuts only me and my brother knew and I arrived there within minutes. I look up at the sign. 'Canterlot High.' I sigh and make sure my hood is in place. I was about to step inside when I saw someone else walk inside. She looked familiar. I finally decided to follow her, she had yellow skin and pink hair. I slowly walk inside of the shadows. But sometimes I was getting a few glances. I sigh as I didn't want to be spotted. I clench my fist and my precision burned black hand starts to glow a bit. I possess a nearby person. I then begin to switch between possessing people to follow the girl.
