	The next morning Daniel woke up to the sunrise, he had uneasy sleep like someone or something was hovering over him. He quickly shook off the feeling, thinking it as just his imagination. He sat up to an empty room. He didn't notice however because of how his back hurt from sleeping on that stupid couch. Soon he realized he was alone got up. Where is she? He questioned himself. 
The answer soon came as Luna entered with an... unpleasant look to her. "Ahh, your up. Good, come along sister has to talk to you." She then muttered "That little ..." Daniel, blushed a bit before he got up. "In her room, I'll take you to her." She responded to the unanswered question, "And yes, I am psychic." She responded to the other unanswered question. She led him down the hall now in a slightly pleasant mood. Soon they reached the door, and when it was opened, Daniel saw six ponies, mares to be exact. One was an alicorn with a purple coat and matching hair with a pink streak through it. She held herself high, as if she was important, and she probably was, but on a hidden level you could see she was nervous and she would rather be with her friends, she had that, look to her. Next on was a pegasus with a yellow with a pink mane. She seemed very shy and kept to herself, obviously anti-social and spent more time with... plants or something, she had a kind look to her. After her was an earth pony with an orange coat and yellow mane, and a hat that fit just right on her, what, did she get it tailored? Anyways, she seemed tough and strong, probably works very hard, she had an honest look to her. Next was another earth pony that was jumping, jumping, jumping. She was pink, pink, pink, she was just pink. She seemed energetic and "fun." Whatever her idea of that is. She had a brave look to her. Next to her (or above) was another pegasus, this one blue with a rainbow main. She seemed in good shape, probably a sports instructor or a gym teacher. She had a loyal look to her. Finally, there was a unicorn, white coat and purple mane. Obviously she one of those "but my nail will breeeaaaak. She had a generous look to her. Damn he thought, I've been reading too much Sherlock Holmes.
"Hello, I am Twilight Sparkle, and these are my friends. We, are the Elements Of Harmony," the alicorn spoke up.
"You act like I care." Daniel deadpanned.
"Well you should. You may be new here but you should know of us." The fancy one stepped forward. 
"Wait a second," Daniel paused to think, Elements Of Harmony do sound familiar, but from where. I thought back to my recent studies. They Elements of Harmony, were... They were... "Oh god," he realized what they were, or more importantly what was on their necks. The Elements Of Harmony, equestria's greatest weapon, turns evil doers into stone, and then there was me. Gave up my sole for power. It was more complicated than that, but they don't care. It's all the same, destroy the enemy. Me, I am the enemy.  "NO!!!!" He shouted, and with a flash from his horn, and he was gone. Well, in the royal gardens, but still. But he didn't get away, in a flash of light the princesses and the Elements were right there too. "No!' He shouted again, and backed up, into a corner. He was cornered.
"Now Twilight," Celestia shouted, and the Elements Of Harmony started and in a blast of friend light magic thingy that could destroy, was sent strait for Daniel. With his horn, he brought up a shield of darkness, but the magic was so strong. He held his own for a few second, but it was futile as the magic light surrounded him and he disappeared into the light. As it faded you could see what was a humanoid figure standing. His bangs in face, over his eyes, but if you looked at them that way, you would say they were red. He wore a black suit, and he had a menacing look to him. 
"My turn," he threatened. Then the shadows were alive, all around. They pushed forward and engulfed the Elements and the princesses. There was a pressure in there heads. So strong it hurt, they all felt that their heads were going to explode from the inside. If it continued, they might have died. If. The pressure stopped, and in all their minds, the voice of Daniel spoke. I'm not evil, it said. don't act like it and you won't get hurt. I am not evil. There is more to the story than they might have told you. Stop. Just stop. The darkness soon dissipated and there stood the mares. Stunned into silence.






Daniel ran. He ran far. He didn't know where he was going. He was just running. He ran till his legs felt weak, then ran some more, and soon collapsed. After an eternity (of a few minutes I tell you), he got up and looked around. He was in an abandoned lot. It was in the middle of town, ran a pretty good distance. At the ends were large alleyways. It could be a river. It probably was, he thought we destroy nature for "civilization. "What is this suit," Daniel asked himself. Thinking, he decided to change it like he did his body, and closed his eyes and focused. His close themselves turned into his bat-like darkness.  And they flew off of him like they do when he changes bodies, but not all. After about half flew away, they turned back to light colors and were his clothes. *Sniff Sniff* "Damn, what is that smell." He realized that his clothes, or him for that matter, didn't have a wash in days. So he changed, but before he did, he got his phone out and flung it straight up into the air, changed into his new suit, and snatched his phone before it landed.
Then he started. With the emotion he held. All the wild feelings that he has had since sense this hole thing started. He unleashed it all. The first building fell with a flash of darkness. Then the next and the next. Rubble flew past Daniel's face, glass almost blinded him, but he let it out. All his trouble, he let it out. 
After he finished, he just sat down and thought. He was just a normal kid who liked Soul Eater and to read and a million other ordinary things. If only it was still that way. So, searching for ordinary, he pulled out his phone, and did as he had so many times, he played a random song.
Apparently, it wasn't random. The song was "Rusted From The Rain," by Billy Talent. He looked down into the shards of glass, and he didn't look the same. Startled, he got up and finished what he started. As far up as he could, he made a ravine/river bed pretty deep. He did the same all the way down.
Using his powers, he went to the top of his soon to be river. Looking around, he soon saw the irrigated river. Smashing a new path, he led the river to it's beginning. He watched as the ravine filled up and went through Canterlot and continued on its way. He then made a bridge with his darkness. Once he took it away, weirdly enough, it was ebony wood. Natural, he thought, good. Tired, felling he over did everything, he turned back into a pony, and started to walk back. He ended up in a park, thinking about where he was, he realized that he was close to his changeling friend's house. Daniel considered asking to stay there, but decided against it. He found a nice tree, and sat down, closing his eyes. Ready for sleep.
But his hopes were interrupted when he herd a voice shout "Hey, what are you doing here?" Looking up he saw that it was his changeling friend.  "And before you ask, I just had a date with my marefriend, so why are you here?" He asked again.
"Some "friends" of the princesses were trying to "help" me." He made air quotes with his hooves. "I kinda stormed out." Daniel admitted.
"Well, you could stay with me." He told Daniel.
"Thank you. You are a true friend," Daniel smiled a smile long forgotten by many men, a true smile.
Together, they set off to Liel's home, friends because that is what Daniel needed more than ever right now, a friend.






The Canterlot gardens right after Daniel left


"Come on twilight, I think he went th---" Celestia was cut off.
"No," boomed Luna, in her royal Canterlot voice, "ye shall not follow him."
"Luna, remember what I thought you, normal voice, normal voice," Twilight tried to soothe the alicorn.
"Why shouldn't we Luna, he is a danger," Celestia shot back.
"A: He is my problem, I shall deal with him," she said in a normal voice, "and B: He is my student, and I will teach him much, about friendship to."
"STUDENT!!!!!" All seven other mares yelled at once.
