The smell of battle, of blood, of death hung in the air like a thick fog as I stood before my foe. Gripping both of my machetes I stood before my foe, his armor shining in the pale twilight. I couldn't see his face but I was sure he was smiling at how badly I had fucked up. I had all the advantages: teamwork, strategy, and the determination that had carried my ancestors though countless wars. But as I stood before my foe, I felt like maybe, I was the wrong person for the job. Despite the enchanted healing factor my nanobots gave me, they could only do so much in the so little time it took to get me cut to shreds.
Despite all my training with masters of mystical and forbidden arts of combat and all the gear I was carrying I was about to lose. I was going to lose and my home world would never get it's revenge of the asshole that destroyed it. My foe removed his helmet revealing his raccoon-like face before giving me a ultimatum, “Human. Surrender to me and I promise to end you quickly. After all you don't want to suffer too much for your failure do you? After all I am the god of death after all, a mortal like you can't possibly hope to kill me.”
My pride spoke for me: “I did not come all this way, fought so hard and so long just to give up to you. I don't care if I live or die, I ain't gunna break my oath by surrendern'. And I’m sure as hell...” I raised one of my blades to the sky and looked up, a mistake. My enemy ran me through with his sword, the blade going straight through my heart and out my back, before pulling it out and leaving me to bleed out on the floor. I watched him walked out of the room as my vision faded; my nanobots couldn't heal the wound in time to make a difference. Everything blurred out, and I saw a figure of white appear before me. As I tried to focus on the figure it bent over and with a flash of light, everything went dark.

I awoke in a field of grass while the sun slowly peaked out from behind some mountains. I was unsure where I was, is this my final reward? My payment for a life of saving those who could not save themselves? Or my punishment for the unnecessary gruesome murder of any and all who dared to attempt to stop me during my quest for freedom? I get up not caring in the slightest; heaven, hell doesn't really matter to me. I'll just do what I do best, survive.
I pick up my backpack and check what's inside to see if anythings missing. Nothing was missing but my small stockpile of food and ammo won't last long so locating the vital resources needed to replenish what I use will be top priority. I pull out my RPD light machine gun from my backpack as well as a leather harness so I can hold extra clips as well as my combat knife. After adjusting the straps to my liking I set off on my journey to survive.
A few hours later I find myself inside a dense forest. I kept hearing creatures all around me but I paid them no heed, as I didn't think they would attack someone like me. That was a mistake, having overconfidence, but as long as you can survive, you can learn from your mistakes. As I felt teeth bite down on my shoulder, I saw what appeared to be wolves stepping out of the underbrush. I pulled the creature off my shoulder and threw it on the ground, following it up with a neck-snapping stomp.
I leveled my RPD at the same time counting the current amount of wolves that were attacking me. This wasn't good, my RPD wasn't intended for short range combat like this. It's main purpose was suppression fire against a large number of human-sized targets at ranges more then 100 feet not pinpoint fire against 6 wolf-sized targets at 10. Thinking quickly I ran straight into one wolf, firing from the waist, scattering the pack and giving me enough space to slip by them. I ran away as fast as I could, with all 5 wolves chasing me. I noticed that the ground was becoming into a path of sorts that seemed to lead into a distant clearing.
With the wolves behind me I poured on the steam and ran faster than I had earlier, wanting to put enough distance between me and the wolves so I could use my RPD with greater efficiently. I saw the clearing get closer maybe no farther then 100 feet away. I was nearly there, nearly home free.
Just before I reached the clearing I stopped, turned around, leveled my gun and fired in a left to right motion, killing all 4 of the pursuing wolves. Quick, clean, and easy, the way I like it.
As I turned around I felt my arm get heavy. I looked at what could be causing it and saw that my shoulder injury hadn't healed at all and I was losing a great deal of blood. My nanobots must have been shut off this whole time. Looking up I saw what appeared to be a house of sorts ahead of me. Placing pressure on my wound to shunt the bleeding a bit I walked towards the brightly colored house hoping that maybe it make contain some sheets to act as a improvised bandage. Stopping in front of the door I feel myself getting very light-headed. Before I could try to knock, the door opened and I fell forward the blood loss having taking it's toll on my body. As the floor came to give me a kiss I muttered, “medic.”

Fluttershy peeked out from behind her chair to look at the creature who had fallen on her floor a few seconds ago. The creature didn't seem to be moving, and as she stepped out from behind the chair she saw that it had a horrible bite mark that was bleeding badly. Grabbing her first-aid kit, she pulled off the clothes the creature was wearing over its wound and applied a healing salve. Almost immediately the wound stopped bleeding, but her job wasn't over yet as she cleaned the wound of debris that had become lodged inside the wound. Feeling satisfied with how clean it was, she took a needle and thread and stitched the wound together. After putting everything back inside her first-aid box she picked up the creature and laid him down on here couch, being ever-so careful not to make his injury any worse then it already was.
After checking to see if the creature was still breathing, she noticed that the creature had tiny black hairs sticking up out of its body with most of them located on its mane which wasn't as long as a pony's and was really messy, curly with white hairs spread out all over. Its body and face seemed more like a monkey's then a pony's with some kind of nose sticking out of the middle of its face. It also seemed to be wearing glasses of some kind with arms that seemed to wrap around it's head.
She had never seen a creature such as this, but maybe Twilight has. Those books she always reads may have something about this creature on her couch. She told her pet rabbit, angel to keep a eye on this creature until she got back from Twilight's. The rabbit gave a look of disbelief but nodded his head in agreement.
Fluttershy left the house rushing over to Twilight's house as fast as she could. If she had waited a few minutes longer she would have seen the words “SYSTEM UPDATE COMPLETE” appear the creature's glasses.

Twilight listened to Fluttershy with a face of disbelief, what she was telling her didn't make sense. A giant fur-less monkey that was wearing clothes had fallen into her house with a deep bite on its shoulder. On top of all that Fluttershy claims it had said something while it was falling to the floor.
Twilight decided to follow Fluttershy back to her house to see for herself what this fur-less monkey looked like with her own eyes. Bringing along a bestiary so she could compare this creature to all currently known animals, Twilight started following Fluttershy back to her house.

Mean while back at Fluttershy's house the creature woke up with a huge yawn. Looking around in a daze, he rubbed his eyes before remembering about his bite. He could feel that someone had stitched him up really good, perhaps whoever let him rest on this couch. He sat upright on the couch and began popping several of his joints before finishing up with a another loud yawn. As he looked around the room he saw a little rabbit going through his rations, that the room appeared to have been build inside of a tree, and...
“hey you little shit. Get out of my food supply,” he yelled at the rabbit who just gave him a rude gesture before returning to go through his food stock.
The creature got up to push the rabbit away, who started making more rude gestures before walking away. The bipedal creature started inspecting his foodstuffs for any damage but there was none. His stomach rumbled as all the food save for a cheeseburger was put away inside his backpack. The creature held up the frozen cheeseburger that suddenly began to melt. Within a few minutes the burger was completely cooked and ready to eat. Licking his lips in anticipation, he took a big bite of the cheesy burger just the front door opened and two ponies entered the room.
The three of them stared at each other for a while until the creature swallowed what it was eating and greeted them with a “Hello.” Fluttershy said in return, “oh good you're awake. With all that blood on your shirt I thought you wouldn't make it.”
Twilight could only stare at this creature while it talked to Fluttershy with a look of confusion. It looked nothing like how her friend had described it, but the more she stared at it the more characteristics of a fur-less monkey stood out to her. She broke out of her stupor and trotted up to this strange creature and asked bluntly, “Who are you? What are you? What are you eating?”
The creature looked at her it's mouth full with another bite of whatever it was eating, swallowed then responded. “Yeah hello to you too. To answer your questions: one, you may call me “leaderofstars.” two, I’m what's called a homo sapiens, or human. And three, I’m eating a cheeseburger. You got anymore questions for me miss rude?” he glared at the purple pony. Fluttershy spoke up first asking, “Whats a cheeseburger?” Without even thinking that maybe he should not reveal what it was made of, leaderofstars said, “it's a meal comprised of ground-up cow meat, processed wheat and cow milk.”
Twilight and Fluttershy felt sick. This human was eating meat and admitted to doing so calmly that it was like nothing to him. The human saw the horrified looks on their faces and asked, “What's wrong with you two? Y’all look like y’all just seen a murder happen in front of ya.”
Fluttershy ran out of the house crying, before throwing up somewhere outside the house. “what's her malfunction?” the human said, finishing off his meal.
“You're eating meat,” Twilight said, her face full of disgust.
“Failing to see the problem here.”
“How can you just not see the problem here! You're eating another animal” Twilight said, trying to keep from throwing up like Fluttershy did.
“I do what I can to survive.” the human got close to Twilight's face. “If you're worried that I may decide to.... consume you next,” he leaned in Twilight's left ear. “Relax I’m a picky eater. I only eat certain kinds of meat as well as some fruits and vegetables.”
Twilight didn't feel relieved as much as she could have at his admission of being omnivorous, because it was the human hadn't said that was making her worried. “What kind of meat do you eat,” Twilight's voice lowered a bit. “Do you... do you eat ponies?”
The human leaned back into the couch “No. Not fond of the meat of sentient creatures, you ponies included. I'll rather have cow meat. It's just plain dumb as hell and while its alive it produces milk, which is delicious by the way, and than when it dies it skin can be used for leather, it's organs can help crops grow, the bones can be used as weapons and the muscles can be turned into a number of meals for future use.”
Twilight listened to this human talk about the different uses a cow can be used for with a look of relieve. It doesn't eat ponies, that was good. But it still ate meat and Fluttershy wouldn't enjoy this human living here with all her animals. “Listen... uh... leaderofstars was it?”
“Yes, that is my name.”
“Look, my friend Fluttershy isn't going to like having you here with her animals since you eat meat and all. So why don't you come stay with me in Ponyville?”
“Sure just let me put on a shirt, and I'll come with you back to wherever-ville.” leaderofstars said grabbing his backpack and searching through it. Pulling out a black shirt and a heavy green jacket, he put the shirt first being extra careful not to let the stitches pop open. The jacket came next, it's extra weight coming from the thick padding of Kevlar replacing the cotton stuffing. Its weight sent a slight jolt of pain from his wound but it passed quickly. This Fluttershy must be a doctor-of-sorts in her spare time with how well the wound was holding together. He put on his backpack, carefully placing it on his shoulders and equipping up his RPD.
After hitting his head on the top of the door frame walking outside, he saw saw the purple pony talking to Fluttershy. Must be trying to make her feel better about his dietary choices, he thought to himself. As he got closer Fluttershy turned and faced him with a timid smile on here face.
“I want to thank you for patching me up in my time of need,” leaderofstars said to her. “here take my combat knife. It's served me well for a long time in my line of work. Maybe you can find a more peaceful way of putting it to use.” he handed the knife and sheath to her.
“Oh. I can't take it. It's yours.”
“I can't just leave without giving you some form of payment. My honor wouldn't allow me to do so. Besides, you've earned it for saving me from the jaws of death.” he handed the sheathed knife to Fluttershy, who took it from him hesitantly.
As leaderofstars walked away with Twilight, Fluttershy said, “Don't strain yourself for a week or you'll need more stitches.” leaderofstars responded with a simple, “OK.”

As he walked with the purple pony to the town of Ponyville, leaderofstars began thinking of his future. He was the last remaining human throughout the multiverse. After he died the culture, the history, and the knowledge of an entire civilization would be lost. He looked down at the purple pony walking beside him. He felt calm, which is something he hadn't felt in a long time. Maybe it was time to stop his cycle of bloodshed and revenge. He had been given a second chance, a new lease on life and he didn't want to spend it on the road of self destruction. He looked up at the town ahead growing slowly bigger as he got closer. “Ponyville, huh.” he said to himself. “Seems like a good place as any to put down roots.”
