Chapter 1 - Born in Blood
I'm a normal high school student just like everyone else, or at least I was. My name is Blood and this is my tale of assention.

I got home from school one day, normal, except for the UPS truck in my driveway. The UPS man stopped me and asked "Are you uhh Mr. Blood?” I nod my head to say yes. He gives me a clipboard and I sign my name. "How much is this going to cost me?”I ask. "Nothing.” he says" It's already paid for." Odd but I still didn't care much. "Since when are things already paid for and what did I order?”I asked the UPS man." Beats me but its big." he responded. I watch as he opens the back of his van to reveal quite a few wooden crates. I start to wonder which one is mine and then he says "These all belong to you.” I look at him waiting to see if he was joking, he wasn't.

It took about half an hour to get the boxes out of the van. As soon as all the boxes were out he leapt into his truck and sped off. Thankfully my parents were not home. The crates were fairly easy to open but it's what was in the crates that changed my life. Inside was a marvelous set of white and gold armor. The boots had a cloud with a three color lightning bolt coming out of the cloud on them. The greaves had three apples on both of the knee-plates. The cuirass had a strangely shaped six-point star surrounded by five smaller ones. The gauntlets had three beautiful blue diamond shaped gems on both of the palms. The shield had three pink butterflies in the center of it. Lastly the helmet was a full face that opened and shut from the side and it had three balloons on it.

It was and still is the most beautiful set of armor I have ever seen, and it's mine! I double checked the crates to see if I had missed anything, and I had indeed missed something. In one of the crates I found a long, small, flat metal box. I slid the box open to reveal a long sword made out what appeared to be ruby. I picked up the sword and heard something fall on the ground. I look down and saw a key made out of the same white and gold metal as the armor. I took up the key and placed it in my pocket. I didn't really care for the key because I wanted to try on the armor. I went and placed the sword in its metal box and quickly striped down and put the armor on.

The armor was so light and comfortable. I did a few laps around my house and felt great. When I attempted to remove the armor I quickly realized that I could not remove it. The armor had somehow mystically bound itself to my body. Though I could remove the sword and the helmet opened and came down like a hood. Then it hit me, the key must unlock the armor! I quickly ran to my pants and retrieved the key. After ten minutes of looking for a way to open the armor with no success, I gave up. I then decided it was time to go inside. I walked up to my door and found a note saying "Blood we are going on a trip, probably won't be back for about a week. - Mum and Dad" Damn those parents of mine always going off somewhere. I walked inside and found a gold chain that belonged to Dad. I snatched it up, put the key around it, and put it on. By this time I was far too tired to do anything else and all I managed to do was get to my bed and fall into the state of temporary death called sleep.

I woke up the next day. When I got up and checked my clock it said eight o'clock. "Crap I'm late for school!" I shouted to myself. I got up and did everything to prepare for school except put on clothes and shower due to the armor still being on my body. I grabbed my school books and for some reason I put on the sword knowing that I'm going to get in trouble and possibly expelled. As I was running out the door I heard something come from my parent’s room. I looked around the corner to see the TV was on and it had My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic playing on it. I wanted to watch the familiar show but I had to go. I started to leave but then I stopped and saw that my armors cuirass had the same mark as the cutie mark on Twilight's flank. "I'll research the cutie mark when I get home for now school is my objective, and my school is thirteen miles away.”I say to myself. Then I was out the door running to school.

When I ran out the door I also had jumped off my porch. The impact only hurt for a moment. I kneeled into a running position. Then I took off running but I wasn't just running I was running fast."Whoa" I shouted and stopped. I looked back to see I was at the end of my long driveway."Oh yeah, this is going to be epic!" I say out loud to myself. I took off running again with blinding speed. I must have been running at least forty miles per hour. I was running down my street then I got to the highway. I couldn't help but laugh, I was going to try and run as fast as I could. I started running slow then I rapidly picked up speed until I was going ninety miles per hour. I know I was going exactly ninety because I was picked up on a speed trap on the side of the road. How did I get so fast so quickly? I looked at the mark on the boots and then I recognized it as Rainbow Dash's cutie mark. So this armor isn't normal it’s magical. I started to run to school again.

I arrived at school at eight thirty. Satisfied at my feat of speed, I walked toward the school. Then I got scared because I was in a damn suit of armor and I was armed. What should I do? Am I going to be arrested? I gave a loud sigh. "If I get in trouble I'll tell them that if they can get it off me then I'll never bring it back to school." I say under my breath. I opened the school door and the alarm went off, but not a metal dector the fire alarm. "I know, I'll regroup with my class!" and I walked to where my science class would be. I found my teacher Mr. Bass and the other students. "Hey Mr. Bass how late am I for science class!" I called out to him."Not very late at ... son what the hell are you dress in?" he says back to me. "Uhh it is a suit of armor that I can't get off." This caused the other students to laugh and me to blush with embarrassment. Mr. Bass gives the others a glare that he never gives me, mainly because I do my work. Then he looks at me with a confused face."Son, you've done some crazy stuff and had some crazy stuff done to you before and some of it should have killed you, but didn't, and son this time you have a weapon I probably won't be able to get you out of trouble if it comes your way." "You’re still amazed that I drank hydrochloric acid by accident and I know you can't get me out of trouble this time but I can't get the damn suit off."I smiled at the mentioning of me drinking the acid. The fire alarm stopped and everyone started to go in. Mr. Bass gave me a nod that said to come to class and not to worry. I quickly followed him back to class.

My science class is on the second floor. When I arrived at class the other kids started to giggle. They probably thought I was pulling a joke or I just looked stupid. I sat down at my seat and one of the students at near me asked "Blood you do know that it's not Halloween right?" 
"Yes I'm aware of that." 
"Then why did you?"
"Why are you still talking?"I said with an angry tone.
This made him back off. Half way through class is when the fun began. My group and I were mixing something together when everything made of glass in the room shattered. "Everyone stay calm there is a reasonable explanation for what just happened" Said Mr. Bass. Then out of nowhere the key that I had gotten with the armor was floating in front of my face. Then it snapped the chain and flew into the white board, turned itself, and slid down the wall but when the key slid down the wall it cut through space causing a large portal to appear. I must have been the only one that saw the key because everyone else started to panic when the gate appeared. I felt happy when the gate opened and fearful at the same time. I was standing right in front of the portal when something fairly big shot out and I caught it but it also knocked me down. When I looked up to see what I caught, I almost had a heart attack. There lying on my chest was Twilight Sparkle.
