	She must’ve already been awake; because by the time I woke up I was the only one in the room. I had apparently slept through about half the day because it was bright outside. I got up and walked out onto the balcony, my eyes were stung by the sun. I waited a few minutes and Rainbow Dash came out onto the balcony to join me. I was doing just what I was doing the night before, gaining energy. She waited at the door. I said, “You should be out there flying, Skittles. It’s what you do right?” She replied to me quickly “I was trying to find you so I could take you flying.” I gave her an even faster reply “I can fly myself, but without wings.” After that she started a sentence and I jumped over the balcony and shot forwards like a rocket, a Lime Green Laser trailing behind me. She raced after me and caught up to me. I said, “If you want to follow, you got to be faster than your Sonic Rainboom. Because I beat the Light barrier.” Then I shot forwards even faster than before, faster than a rocket. I turned to go upwards, I kept the same speed until I hit around 100,000 feet up in the air. I cut out the speed and entered free-fall. I fell for about 100 feet then created a Sonic Blast that could be seen from Canterlot, it was Lime Green, and I passed Rainbow with no sound, just the Lime Green Laser. I flew straight at Canterlot, aiming for the top of the Palace. I passed right over Canterlot faster than anyone/anypony could blink. Then I flew up again, doing a very large loop. I then aimed for a very large field that isn’t in use. I found one. I flew even faster at it. Then I noticed something, another human, in full Bio-suit Armor; and a ship, with the initials S.P on it. Shayne Peirce. How is this possible? I don’t care anymore. I flew straight at the ship. Breaking all record speeds. I pulled back a fist when I got close enough, I reached the ship and I punched it. Blasting a Laser beam into the atmosphere and farther; Shayne Peirce was the one standing outside. He turned around in time to witness the demolition of his ship. He radioed something in for someone somewhere. I lunged out of the ship into him, beating him out of Hell and into Oblivion. He tapped a watch of his and I slowed down very easily, but could hear everything as normal. He said evilly “You’re lucky that I’m waiting till tomorrow to end your puny life and this puny world. I mean, seriously; a Pony world, a My Little Pony World? It needs to be ended.” Him saying all of this infuriated me. I broke the time freeze that he put me in; I grabbed him, pulled out my broadsword, and put it at his throat. He said, “You can’t kill me. You can’t do it. You’re too weak minded.” I said furiously, “Watch me,” as I slipped the sword through his throat, but he just flickered and blinked out. He was a Hologram. He’s still out there. Princess Luna landed next to me, along with Celestia, Rainbow Dash, a few Pegasus Guards, Fluttershy, some random ponies, one that I knew because he is just like me. Starlight. I said “Starlight, come here,” as they kept landing around me. “How do you know who I am?” he whispered to me confusingly as he emerged from the crowd. “We are the same, from different worlds though… You can fight right?” I asked him. “Yeah, the only one to be faster than Rainbow Dash, and best combat efficiency.” Starlight said. Rainbow came dashing out of the crowd (now I understand the “Dash” part of her name) yelling “I WANT A REMATCH STARLIGHT! YOU WON UNFAIRLY! I DEMAND THAT REMATCH AND DEMAND IT NOW!” Starlight and I said at exactly the same time, “Bring it on, and anytime is fine, oh great, now I’m rhyming, but still, bring as much heat as you want. I’m the Outcast who lives off speed and…” We stopped immediately realizing what had happened. Finally, I said, “Starlight, You Versus Me. Mono E Mono. Winner races Skit- I mean Rainbow Dash.” 
After a few minutes, Starlight lined up above to me, prepared to bolt forwards. I did the same, but below him. The crowds around us, including Rainbow Dash, were actually chanting out “STARLIGHT, STARLIGHT, STARLIGHT!” Little did they know, that Starlight is my nickname. A bell sounded and time slowed to very slim milliseconds. I shot forwards, half a second faster than the Pegasus Starlight. A Lime Green Laser trailed both of us (Him because of his tail.) I was running forward for about thirty seconds, and then I leaped up. There was a delayed BOOM after I shot forward. I know this, the Pegasus Starlight was flung back to the starting point, in complete confusion, along with the rest of the crowd. “WOOOOOOO! YEAHOOOOHOHOHOOOOOO! THIS IS THE REAL STARLIGHT! THE OUTCAST HAS A NAME SHAYNE PEIRCE! AND HIS NAME IS… STARLIGHT.” I yelled out in joy. When I paused, I entered the next speed phase. Electric Overshock. “YA’ KNOW WHAT SHAYNE! YOU’VE GOT WORSE COMIN’ AT YA’! THERE IS TWO OF ME! THE OUTCAST STARLIGHT! ME! AND THE PEGASUS STARLIGHT!” I yelled out again, even more joyously. I flew straight up at the sky, just to slam against an invisible wall. I was stunned from hitting it, and I fell towards the ground, dazed. I regained full control just in time to renter phase 4: The First Shock. Some form of Blue Lightning struck me from the clouds, allowing me a new type of speed. I shot even faster at the ground. I became the Lime Green Laser myself. Hit 10 feet off the ground and hit a 90-degree angle going level with the ground. I had to maneuver through the buildings of Ponyville to get a landing site. I went left fifteen times, and right thirty times. I finally found a landing area, but I was going too fast. I had no choice; I needed to make an emergency landing. I stated running while in air, but it didn’t help because when my feet touched, all the happened was that I flipped, twisted, and did barrel rolls in mid air. I ended up crashing into a few trees in the Everfree Forest. I stopped rolling and flipping. I was bloody, broken, beat, and scarred. I landed a few hundred feet away from the last tree I’d crashed through. Everypony went searching for me, but I was on my back, camouflaged by the trees, the grass, and the blood on me. I couldn’t move for at all. They had stopped searching after some time. Which showed up in my mind as “He isn’t needed anyways; Forget him, he’s gone, for good hopefully.” 
I give up Celestia, if you want me dead an’ gone. Well here you go; I’ll stay here, for three days. I’ll die of dehydration, if it’s what Everypony wants. Then I’ll do it. Now, after a few hours, I’m thinking out loud “Am I really of any importance to the mane 6 at all? Was I born to help people, or was I just born to die a slow death? WAS MY LIFE EVER REALLY WORTH IT!? TELL ME! WHAT AM I WORTH IN ANY WORLD! I’LL DIE HERE IF I HAVEN’T DIED ON EARTH ALREADY, yet, why did I bother helping any of the ponies. Even if they comforted me at one point, they’re just leaving me to die this time. I had my Prologue, when does my Epilogue begin? Or is this the Prologue for my Epilogue? Shayne’s here to finish what he started. He probably has my Twin brother on his side to kill me too. Him and I, the twin versus the twin; The tale that started us off, just too be the end on this planet. So, you know what, if I die here, I’ll make Shayne and my twin die with me. If anything ends, it’ll be them and their one way war with me.” I got up and walked my way to Ponyville; going through the hills I flew over when I crashed. I walked all night. I go to Ponyville, passed through Ponyville, to Fluttershy’s Cottage. I got to her door; I heard voices inside, which were each of the mane 6’s. I almost knocked on the door, and then I collapsed, needing water. My body hit the door, and it slung open. I passed out, only hearing gasp and the rushing sound of hooves on wood. A voice in my mind said, “Well, this is it. This is the end.” While another voice said “Come on, we need you David. Don’t die on us. Please.” Followed by crying, that was it. It wasn’t me saying this. It was one of the ponies. I regained sight, but I could see myself. I saw Fluttershy, Pinkie, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Twilight, and AJ all around my dying body. Fluttershy seemed to be hurting the most, because she was crying on my dying body. That was enough, too much for me to handle. I have one choice, but then a blinding light came out from behind me, and I said “Sayonara heaven, I’d rather live to make these ponies happy.” Everything had then Faded Black. I remembered the first time I became the Outcast. 8th Grade, I, at first, had no love life, little friends, and no hope in myself. I got bored of school one day, and I ran out of the building, and kept running. I ran into one of the tallest buildings, reaching 48 stories. I had one friend, which is Cassie. She is the reason I’m still typing and talking today. She has saved me from death more than I can remember, but she’s also the reason I have my weapons. It was August 5th, 2012. I had decided to buy the swords, which I got permission for the governor to have with me at all times. I was up there, alone. Then Cassie came up behind me, startled me to near death myself. By reflex, I unsheathed my sword and held it at the victim’s throat. I realized what I’d done. I dropped the sword, and ran to the nearest corner. I began crying because I’d just about sliced my best friend, and my savior’s neck into two or three parts. Then out of nowhere, I heard “And now… This is the part where he kills you!” and saw a gun be pointed at the back of Cassie’s head. I snapped back to normal time and bolted upright yelling out “CASSIE!” I looked around, at the stunned ponies. I began crying because I knew what that outcome was, even though that day hasn’t even come on Earth. I forgot to mention that I’m very flexible at the waist, knee, and arm. I pulled my knees to my head, and dug my face in them. I closed my arms around my knees, and then Fluttershy noticed something on my arm. She nuzzled my arm, and I extended it and pulled up the sleeve. Revealing a scar that ran from my wrist to my neck then split two ways, one going behind my neck, the other up through my eye. My right eye; I sat there, sad because I knew that she didn’t want to see my scar. She then ran her hoof down my back, I bolted up stiff when she reached my lower back, and I blacked out.
