It had been a week of hard thinking but Alexander needed a steady supply of money. He had decided to go to Ponyville he heard in the Equestrian news there had been an increase of guards and with his history he was sure he was going to get the job. He was also tired of being antagonized by prince Blue Blood and on top of all that Celestia had decided to slow their relationship down.
Alexander got out of bed and looked around to see if anything was out of place. When Alexander made sure everything was in place he moved over and prepared to get dressed he pulled out his shiny black skin tight vest and his black pants and put them on with ease using his magic, which was getting stronger every day. Alexander then opened his door to see a guard running his way. The guard stopped in front of Alexander and said "Sir the princess awaits wants an audience with you in her room." Alexander nodded and with a bright flash teleported just outside Celestia’s room he knocked on the door and waited until he heard Celestia say "Come in." When Alexander walked in he could tell Celestia knew he was going to be moving out Alexander then said "I see that you know I am moving out of the castle and going to Ponyville." Celestia nodded and said "Yes I can understand why you want a job but before you go I need you to do something for me the pay out is one thousand and five hundred bits." Alexanders jaw dropped at hearing this amount of bits he was to received Celestia then said "I need you to kill a dragon." Alexander then nodded and was about to ask for a few weapons but Celestia levitated a sword and shield out from a different room she then said "Alexander these are yours to keep so don't break them this time." Alexander simply nodded blushing a little bit has the memory's of the manticore flooded his head. Celestia the dropped the sword and shield into Alexanders hands and sent him on his way and she said to Alexander before he could leave "Hey when your in Ponyville look for my student Twilight I will tell her your coming and ask if she can offer you a place to stay for a little bit." Before Alexander could say anything the guards flew off faster then usual sending Alexander to stumble and fall. He then sat back in the chariot and thought how would he kill a dragon. Alexander had thought of a few ideas but then the chariot stopped he jumped out and the pegasus' flew away and back towards Canterlot Alexander got a little upset but realized he get to practice flying a little bit more. He then walked towards the cave and looked in he saw thousands of gems and bits scattered through out the room there so many dazzling colors Alexander couldn't help but sit there and take in the beauty. Unfortunately though Alexander remembered he had to kill a dragon he walked into the cave and started to see blood stains on the walls and skeletons piled up in a corner with a little bit of meat still left on them. This disgusted and made Alexander hungry at the same time but he soon laid eyes on the huge terrifying beast it had spikes on its tail and on its head its teeth were jutting out and looked like sharpened swords. He gulped and walked up to the creature he decided to use stealth but then looked down at his sword and shield they were well crafted but not to his taste. Alexander turned the sword into a long elegant sword that not even a dragon could break and then looked at his shield and turned it into a detailed assortment of what looked like ivy growing up its side and made it larger. He then turned and brought his attention back to the dragon.
Alexander flew up gently flapping his wings up and down so he wouldn't disturb the dragons nap he gently landed on the dragons head and slammed the sword has hard as the could into the dragons skull he had managed to make a small dent. He soon realized the only way to kill the dragon was from within he would never be able to cut through the thick scales. The dragon awoke and started to shake trying to get his attacker off only to see Alexander land in front of him Alexander looked at the large dragon and said "Eat me you stupid bitch come on eat me come on do it I bet i taste great you stupid who!" Alexander was cut off when the dragon ate him. He then avoided the tongue and said "God wish me luck." Alexander jumped down the dragons esophagus and jut his sword out so he would cut a line down the neck. The blood was going everywhere Alexander was soon drenched in the dark crimson and looked down to see he was falling to fast he retracted his sword and turned it sideways and stabbed deep into the creatures neck. Alexander was jerked but had stopped his fall and was happy it had worked and he didn't fall into the vat of digestive juice beneath him. He then pulled the sword to the side making a slit in the elongated neck of the dragon. Alexander then reached into the slit and started to feel around for something of importance until he stroked something incredibly hot that it burned his hand he quickly pulled his hand out and almost lost his balance. He then moved his sword over to the source of the heat and with a little struggle cut it through it. Though instead of blood flowing out it was an orange liquid that smelled horrible. The dragon began to completely shake and tremble this shook Alexander loose he fell and quickly positioned his sword and stabbed again his feet now dangling inside of the stomach. Alexander turned around and looked at the gash he had caused to see the orange fluid starting to trickle down to the bottom of the neck. Alexander then watched it he didn't know why but he had a bad feeling about this liquid he then watched as a single drop fell from the side of the neck. He then watched the drop and has it hit the stomach acid a loud explosion was seen and heard Alexander then looked in terror as the once smooth sea of acid turned into a churning pit of waves and explosions. The flow of orange stuff didn't stop though instead it got faster until it was almost was flowing smoothly into the acid. Alexander watched in terror as explosion after explosion was going off but then the acidic waves started to climb upward. Alexander quickly started to climb up the wall and then thought oh wait I have wings. Has he went to spread his wings the acid started to fill the esophagus of the dragon. and hit the stream of orange fluid Alexanders heart was pumping adrenaline as fast as it could. Alexander readied his force field for the explosion chain to start but the explosions were to powerful and soon started to crack Alexanders force field. Alexanders force field shattered and the acid sprayed over his back causing severe pain to over take his body Alexander curled himself into a ball and felt an explosion go off. He then felt wind and thought he was flying only to look back and see his wings on fire and his body being burned away by the acid then he felt his body hit the cold stone floor but he bounced up about 3 meters and came back down sliding across the floor he rolled onto his back and looked at the ceiling. Alexander then felt a cool relief to see the guards throwing water on him but when he closed his eyes and reopened them he saw that it was no guards there but saw the dragon still being blown to bits sending blood spraying every where Alexander looked in horror at this but let the relaxation over come him he then laid back down and let the surprisingly cool blood rain over him putting out the fire on his wings and stopping the acid from burning through his back. He then stood up after the dragon stopped exploding to see the beast completely ripped in half blood covering almost ever inch of the place.
Alexander than got up and walked over to the entrance of the cave to see the sun had started to go down he then saw the pegasus flying towards him they landed and looked at him with disgust written all over their faces. He got in with out a word and saw a bag of bits next to him and a letter he picked up the letter and opened it he then read
"Dear: Alexander
I hope you are still alive if not this letter will be brought back to me along with the bits but if you are, my students name is twilight sparkle I have arranged for you to also have a job being on guard duty but it won't start till tomorrow at sundown. You will also meet Shining Armor by the clock at sundown bring your gear with you.
Sincerely,
your mare-friend
Celestia"
Alexander then looked forward and saw the town it was much different than the towns he was used to seeing but of course this was either a different world or absolute heaven or just a different universe. Alexander soon landed in Ponyville and got out of the chariot and grabbed his reward and letter and his equipment. He looked around and started walking towards the what he thought was town center there were so many strange and disgusted looks he got but he just walked by. He then saw a mare who trying to sell his favorite food beside meat peaches he then looked at the mare's fur which was light orange and she had a smooth brown mane and a peach for a cutie. Alexander walked up and she looked frightened and started to pack up until Alexander said "Wait please don't pack up I just want to buy some peach's." The mare then smiled and said "How many." Alexander then said "I'll take ten." The mare then said "Umm Do you even have twenty bits to pay for that." Alexander took this as an insult and lifted up his bag and slammed it down on the stall and said "Yes and in matter of fact I have one thousand and five hundred bits." He then reached into the bag and pulled out twenty bits and put them on the table the mare then put ten peaches on the table and said "Oh by the way my name is Peachy Willow and I see you don't have magic or a saddle bag so how are you going to carry those." Alexander looked at her with anger and said "Like this." The peach's were lifted into the air and poofed into thin air all except one which Alexander picked up and took a bite out of and swallowed what was in his mouth and then asked "Hey do you know where Twilight Sparkle lives?" Peachy Willows looked at Alexander and said "Why?" Alexander looked at her with more anger then Peachy Willow backed down a little bit and said "Umm she lives in the library over there." Peachy Willow gestured towards a tree Alexander then turned around grabbed his money bag and started walking has he was walking he saw a pink mare with a really poofy pink mane and had a cutie mark of three balloons two were blue and one was yellow. Alexander walked up and said "Hey do you know where I can find the library at." The pin mare turned and looked at him with a disgusted face and gasped and ran off Alexander then thought did he look that bad. He quickly trotted towards the tree Peachy Willow pointed to and found a door to his personal surprise. He ducked and knocked on the door. A small purple dragon with spikes on his tail and head came and opened the door and when he saw Alexander and gasped but shuddered but stood still and then Alexander said "Do you know why I can find twilight at." The dragon said "No." Then Alexander heard a mares voice say "Spike just let him in he is not going to hurt us." The door was a tight fit it might have been easy for Celestia to enter without ducking but Alexander had to lower his head to get in. To his surprise it would have actually been easy to have Celestia or anypony else come in and be roomy but Alexander was about a foot taller than Celestia.
Alexander then saw a lavender mare walk down the stairs with a mostly dark purple hair style but had one lighter purple stripe and her cutie mark had a large star and six smaller dots around that. The mare looked at Alexander and her face turned into a look of disgust and horror and she said "Spike who is that." When she finished saying that she started to levitate objects around the room and Spike said "I don't know Twi you said let him in so I did." Alexander then said "Its okay Twi yo-" She then shouted at Alexander and said "You don't call me Twi!!" Then she started to hurl the objects she had started levitating at Alexander. Alexander fell to the ground after being hit a few times the mare then walked up and lifted him with magic. She sat him down in a chair and said "Spike go get me some rope." Spike rushed up the stairs and once Alexander thought Spike was gone Alexander got up and quickly grabbed the surprised purple mare and covered her mouth and she bit his hand. Alexander felt her begin to struggle he squised her neck a little tighter and said stop struggling. She complied Spike jumped down the stairs and said "Hey Twilight I got the rope. You sick monster!" Alexander then pulled his sword out moved it towards the mares neck and said "Come any closer she dies I was sent here by the princess I don't need to deal with this especially after killing a grand old dragon who had killed a few hundred guards I don't need this shit as soon as I walk in okay." He then looked at the purple mare who then looked very sorry he let go of her mouth and said "What’s on your mind dear." Alexander then lowered his sword and has soon as he did this he saw the purple dragon start to sprint at him as the small dragon grew nearer he breath in and Alexander readied his force field but the dragon ran straight into the shield. Spike stopped running and looked confused Spike then looked at Alexanders eyes they were glowing white and Alexander pointed his hand at Spike and shot a beam of energy at Spike sending him flying. Alexander then fell to his knees his eyes instantly stopped glowing he was way to tired for this. He then looked up and saw a rainbow maned cyan pony came in with a rock saying "Hey twilight I heard you scream I just came to check if you were." She stopped talking and averted her gaze on the blood covered Alexander and she charged him. Alexander was insulted they were using a rock but still if its the best they got. Alexander readied himself and as soon as the cyan pony was close enough Alexander grabbed her fore hoofs and threw her over his head and into a wall. Alexander then stood up to his full height and looked at the pony who assaulted him and was about to say something but a rope tied around his neck and pulled him to the ground. He then heard a farmers accent say "Rainbow you alright." He heard a groan and nothing else but then he heard the country voice say "Ooh y'all gonna die for what ya did." He felt the rope tighten this was his breaking point he felt the rope start to burn and looked to see it caught on fire. Alexander busted through the rope and stood up he turned and saw his attacker was a orange with a blonde mane. He pointed at her and said "FALL TO YOUR KNEES MORTAL BEING!" The orange mare fell down and was unable to get up. Then Shining Armor burst through the door and said "Twilight are you okay." He then saw a blood covered Alexander with red eyes and he then said "Alexander calm down they meant you no harm they were just trying to protect Twilight." Alexander was unmoving and red marks started to form on the orange pony she let out a scream of pain. Alexander then caught a glimpse of Twilight she was crying to herself then Alexander realized these were her best friends his eyes turned white and the orange mares wounds started to heal and then a tear formed in Alexanders eye it fell and rolled down his cheek. He then realized the anger inside him was great he then let go of the orange mare and his eyes slowly stopped glowing. He turned and looked at Shining Armor and said "Let the princess know everything that happened here and why I will be sleeping Everfree forest. Twilight heard this and said "But Everfree forest is crawling with monsters." Alexander looked her angrily then said "Well I don't care let them attack I will lop off their heads and kill them all if they attack." Then Shining Armor said "I agree my sister is right that would be a foolish way to get yourself killed." Alexander then looked at hims with more hate and anger because he wasn't has emotionally hurt "Well I would rather kill a few dumb bitch ass monsters than a pony and I swear to God if you throw that stone I will impale you and burn your soul a thousand times over." The cyan pony dropped the stone and looked at Alexander wondering how he had heard her but then she looked and his back and let out a noise of understanding as to why he was so mad she then said "How did your wings and back get so burnt so badly." Alexander then sighed and said "Well being in multiple explosions and being burned by acid and lit on fire isn't a delightful experience." She then looked bad Alexander then said "Get the story from these mares and send it to the princess I want her to know of these events." Shining Armor was about to protest and say nopony orders him around but then he saw Alexanders eyes where still growing a shade of red. Shining Armor then said "Fine." Alexander then grabbed his things and walked out the door. Alexander used his magic to turn invisible he was surprised he had energy for that.
He then walked until he heard an enchanting humming he was near the edge of Everfree forest he turned and until he found a cabin. The cabin was surrounded by animals of all kinds Alexander walked up to the cabin and then Alexander saw a yellow pegasus with a beautiful smooth pink mane. Alexander walked closer and saw her cutie mark was three butterflies that were pink. He then heard an energetic voice "Hey Fluttershy." The yellow pony looked up and said "Oh hi Pinkie Pie." Fluttershy obviously enjoyed the visit but her voice was very quiet and this made Alexander smile. He then saw the pink mare from earlier he thought to himself so Pinkie doesn't like me. Pinkie then asked "Hey Fluttershy have you seen this weird red guy that walks on two hooves and looks like and ape." Alexander thought to himself well your an ass. Fluttershy looked like she was thinking about it she then shook her head no then Pinkie said "Oh okay I just wanted to throw him a party." Alexander thought to himself not a party anything but that then Fluttershy opened the door and said "Hey Pinkie you wanna come in." Pinkie said "No I need to find that thing so I can throw him a party but I'm surprised I can usually find things I need or want easily." Fluttershy obviously was sad her friend said no but then walked in and forgot to close the door but as Alexander was almost inside he stopped with only half of one of his wings outside the door and Pinkie said "I'll get the door for you." She kicked the door with her back legs and a loud deafening crack was heard and Fluttershy looked at the door and said "Pinkie what happened." The pink pony shrugged her soldiers and bounced off. Alexander grabbed his broken wing and walked into the room and sat down in the corner. Alexander watched as Fluttershy closed the door and got a confused look on her face then Alexander looked at a small white bunny that was sitting there starring at him. Fluttershy said "Angel what are you looking at." Angel saw that Fluttershy didn't think anything was there so he moved on and shrugged his small soldiers. Alexander sat in that corner for quite some while just watching Fluttershy and looking at her house there was a small carpet on the floor. There was also a few bird houses that were hanging from the roof and also there was a bird cage and a few mouse holes in the walls.
Alexander sat there and watched as animal after animal came in and had its illness or ailment cured. Alexander then waited for the line to die out he heard Fluttershy sigh and sit down Alexander then said "Fluttershy please don't be scared or shocked or disgusted by my appearance and please don't tell Pinkie I was here I don't like parties at all. All i ask is for your help I will pay and listen to what ever you say I will not argue unless its really demeaning." Fluttershy said "Sure but I don't know if I will be able to help you." Alexander then said "Please just try its really painful." Fluttershy then nodded can you come stand on the living room floor." Alexander responded by saying "Can I lay down instead." Fluttershy then said "No I need to see your whole body." After saying this Alexander got up and moved to the center of the floor and stood there waiting he then noticed he was invisible he killed the spell causing Fluttershy to jump back in fright Alexander said "Please don't be scared I was ju-" Fluttershy cut him off by saying "How did all that blood get on you and why is your wing broken." Alexander then told her "Well I had to kill a very large dragon that the princess said no one else could help with." Fluttershy then said "That dragon was a big dumb meanie." This made Alexander smile and then he said "So can you fix me up or at least help me." Fluttershy nodded and flew around when she looked at his back she gasped and said "Take your shirt of and lay down on the floor." Alexander complied by just ripping the shirt into pieces and making them vanish. He then laid belly down on the floor and Fluttershy grasped his wing and started to pull it back into place making Alexanders face contorted in pain. Fluttershy fixed his wing and was about to put into a cast and Alexander stopped her by saying "Wait let me try something." Alexander thought about Celestia and his wings and back started to glow white and heal amazingly fast Fluttershy gasped at his healing powers but when he was done he was still covered in blood. He then thought of water encasing his body and cleaning him he was then lifted off the floor and put into a water bubble he then thought of the wind drying himself off and then the wind appeared. He was completely clean all evidence of past battles were gone he then turned towards Fluttershy and said "Thank you." She then looked at him and said "Why did you need my help." Alexander then said "I didn't know how to fix my wing." Then a bag appeared and Alexander took out fifty bits and said "Will this cover it." Fluttershy then said "Oh that’s to much." Alexander simply shrugged and put it on her coffee table. The bag then poofed and Alexander pulled his shirt out and made it repair itself it was cleaned to somehow. Alexander then heard a shrieking and said "I'm really want to stay and talk but I need to go help that pony I'll come back tomorrow okay." Fluttershy nodded smiling she really does enjoy my company well at least I have one friend in Ponyville.
Alexander opened the door and closed it gently and ran outside towards the source of the screaming as he got closer he pulled his sword and shield out and ran faster he then heard Shining Armor say "No I will not let you in." Shining Armor sounded like he was hurt bad. When Alexander approached he saw seven things they had claws the size of swords and a body the size of a pony and had empty eye sockets and their teeth were protruding there mouth like a piranha. Alexander than looked at the ground and saw eight dead guards and Shining Armor laying down bleeding to death. Alexander jumped in and threw Shining Armor back and then one of the monstrosity's howled at Alexander with what sounded like a blood curdling scream. Alexander stood his ground but many of the ponies had started to watch and stood shaking as if the monsters were going get them. Alexander readied his shield as the one that had shouted charged it slashed with all its might against the shield but Alexander held his ground and when the creature stumbled back Alexander lunged forward with his sword and stabbed it in the eye. The creature fell to the ground and watered the ground with its blood then five more of them charged forward Alexander swatted away one of them and cracked its skull but the other four were about to hit him Alexander moved his sword so quick though that even the blink of an eye would have missed it but two more creatures fell lifeless to the floor. Alexander also brought his shield up and managed to defend himself from the other two and he then pulled his sword and sliced one of their heads off and the other one noticed this change and dodged and almost hit Alexanders leg but Alexander saw this and stopped the things arm with his shield. Then Alexander slashed the things head off the ponies watched in shock at this man who had succeeded where their guards had failed. Alexander was soaked with all of the blood of his foes and he looked at the last one and said "Bring it Hell beast." The creature charged and was hit by Alexanders shield and knocked off guard Alexander quickly brought his sword up and brought it down in one fluent motion and the monster then fell into two pieces and died.
Alexander then turned around to see Twilight holding Shining Armor's dead body Alexander walked up and said "Shining Armor I only got enough juice left in the tank to heal all of you but one." Then the unicorn pointed to his fallen comrades Alexander then turned and said "Have it your way." Alexander turned ignoring the cries of Twilight saying "NO HELP HIM HELP SHINING ARMOR HELP HIM!!" Alexander then turned towards the guards and a bright white light cascaded from Alexanders hands healing the squad and bringing them back to life. Alexanders exhaustion had gotten to him he turned around and saw Twilight crying and heard her say "Big brother why don't leave me now don't leave me please I need you." Alexander then thought of himself when his wife died with his unborn child it was the same thing he had said. Alexander got up and leaned over Shining Armor Alexander said "May one live on may the other fall all depending on strength." He don't why he said that but he slit his wrist and let his blood flow into the ground and a red circle appeared around him and Shining Armor and a white Aura had formed upon Shining Armor but a dark one around Alexander he let his blood flow into the ground. The auras faded the world was spinning and twirling and turning black for Alexander he looked at the sun slowly rising over the horizon and he said "I'll at least die happily." His life flashed his hate vanished and he saw Celestia saying almost the same thing Twilight had just said and he then said "I hope you understand." His pulse stopped his breathing stopped his blood in another body he died.
