They exited the portal in the big room. 

Leon was astonished to see something not destroyed, Cadence opened the door and the guards in the hallway saw Leon and charged him. Leon acted on his acquired traits and kicked one of the guards cracking his skull and the other guard he grabbed him by the neck. He lifted the guard in the air and said, "you DON'T charge ME!" 

The guard nodded at the giant being. Luna yelled in the royal voice, "YOU TWO STOP IT RIGHT NOW OR I WILL MAKE YOU STOP IT." 

The guard nodded while Leon looked at her and said,"hmm, nice shout, I can respect you for that." Luna blushed a little and the guards stopped fighting Leon.

Cadence said, " I think it's time for lunch, what do you all think?" Leon's eyes widened and yelled, "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!" They all just stared at Leon for a minute. 

Shining Armor asked, "why did you yell it like that?" 

Leon cleared his throat and said, "because my good sir, I haven't eaten anything in two days. And what I did eat was a cold can of beans." 

Luna asked him, "do you eat vegetables, or meat?" Leon responded with, "I am an omnivore, I eat both plants and meat, but I lean more towards a carnivore life style." Luna was satisfied by that answer. 

They started to head to the dining hall, Leon was looking at the ceiling, floor, and the walls in amazement at it's beauty. Celestia asked him, "did you know anypony by the name of Edward Hugon?" 

Leon replied with, "ya I knew him for a few months. Sadly he was surrounded by a horde of zombies, so he used his suicide grenades and killed 50 of them, ever since then I have always had two suicide grenades. Why do you ask?" 

Luna bumped him and said, "he was her coltfriend." 

Leon's eyes went wide and said, "I didn't know." 

Celestia cleared her throat and said, "no need to be apologetic, I needed to know and you told me so, thank you." Leon could tell she was holding back a tear, but he put it on the back burner of his mind. 

They came in front of another giant door, Leon asked them, "what is with you damn ponies and your big a*s doors?" They all snickered at his comment, although Luna looked at him and shrugged. 

The door opened to a big table that had a lot of food, there was meat, vegies, desserts including cake which Celestia was eye balling. Leon yelled out, "THE CAKE IS FUCKING MINE!!" 

Celestia said, "no it's no- HEY!!" Leon bolted to the cake Celestia started to charge to the cake too. 

Shining Armor said, "should we stop this?" 

Cadence and Luna both said, "NO!" 

Ten minutes later Leon and Celestia were laying side by side next to what was left of the cake, Leon said, "well, it was okay, I hate mint, but love chocolate." 

Celestia said, "ugh, to full." Luna was snickering at what happened, Shining Armor was shocked that anypony could take on Celestia with eating cake. Leon said, "when do we eat, that cake was only 5 ft tall." 

They all dropped their mouths that he was still hungry, Luna said, "you are still hungry, how?" 

Leon replied, "I haven't ate in TWO, f**king, days, BRING ON THE FOOOOOOOOD!" 

They jumped back a few feet from the sonic boom that is his voice. Cadence said, " bring out the um, what do you humans eat?" 

Leon said, "remember, plants and meat, but I prefer meat." 

Cadence repeated with, "bring out the meat." 

When she said that a cart with a big, mouth watering turkey, Leon stared at it for a minute letting out some drool and said, "that is the most BEAUTIFUL thing I have ever seen." As he said that he opened his mouth and swallowed it whole. 

Yes whole, and it was easily 3 feet long and a foot tall. They all stared for a second until Celestia said, "how did you do that? humans can't do that, can they?" 

Leon started to shed a single tear and said, "I-I-I can't t-talk about it." 

Shining Armor said, "why are you crying?" 

Leon yelled out, "I DON'T WANT TO F**KING TALK ABOUT IT, what they did." 

He fell to the ground and started to cry up a storm. Cadence was about to say something, but Leon pulled out one of his death boxes and pointed it to his head, "I can't do this anymore." 

Just as he said that he pulled the trigger, but there was no boom. He tried it again and again for about five more times, then he said, "what the f**k is happening?!" 

Luna said, "over here." He looked and she was holding the clip with her magic. 

She said, "when I saw you take your weapon out I teleported the clip out because I thought you were going to shoot us." 

Leon said, "what they did, I, I can't take the memories anymore."

Celestia said, "if it is okay with you I would like to look at those memories, because I am wanting to know what  was so horrible." 

Leon said, "sure, ha ha, what the hell." Celestia and Luna walked over to him, Celestia lit up her horn and they were in his mind. 

Celestia and Luna were standing in a pitch black room, they started to see a memory, it was a baby. Not just any baby, but him and it went to another memory and another and another until the memories started to flow like a river. 

There were ones of other kids, his parents, and all his pets. They saw him from the first memory to when he made 17 years, then the memories just stopped at his parents, Celestia asked, "what happened, I didn't stop that?" 

Then they saw Leon manifest in front of them and said, "I miss them so much, they barely made one month in the apocalypse. These next memories are real b***hes, you will know why I am the way I am in a second." 

He disappeared leaving the princesses to watch, they were seeing his life, sanity, family, and his friends die in less than a year. Then they saw him getting knocked out and being taken to a remote facility where they experimented on him, making him into something they couldn't explain. 

He escaped and she saw him, her past boyfriend getting swarmed and then blowing up. 

Luna was frozen in shock at what kind of hell he went through, Celestia was crying until they got to the moment they met, he just got to the third story of a building. It had holes all along the floor, Leon crouched at the window and said, "okay, I hope nothing happens. 

I know it's not but lets hope."

Suddenly a blue portal like the one in Equestria formed, he aimed his sniper riffle at it.

After a second out came four ponies, I shouldn't have to introduce them. He quietly said, "what the f**k? A-a-are those ponies, well how did get here, what do they have in mind. I better aim at the one in armor.

Is he looking at a newspaper, okay they didn't know these zombies, if they leave the portal I will charge it an-"

"HELLO, WE ARE PEACEFUL, PLEASE, WE NEED YOUR HELP!"

Leon face palmed, "w-why, just, just why would they do that?"

He looked and saw one of the zombies coming towards them, one of them shouted, "ZOMBIES!"

Leon thought, "okay this is starting to get weird, though I have killed Bumbles the world eater, so I guess I have seen weirder. Now should I let these ponies die, kill the undead, and run through the portal? Ya no, I guess I will help them, though if there isn't any meat then I'm out."

He shot his sniper riffle and you all know what happened next.

They left his mind. They were surprised by this.

Celestia and Luna both were just staring at him, Luna said, "I-I-I unders-stand you, all that was-s-s, horrible, what they did and what you lost, I'm sorry."

Leon just nodded, Shining Armor asked, "are you two alright?" 

Celestia replied, "yes we are." 

Shining Armor also asked them," what happened in there?" 

Celestia replied, "you remember your uncle's death and how it felt?" 

Shining Armor replied, "yes I do, what about it?" 

Luna said, "feel all that and times it by one hundred percent and you will have one minute of his life." 

Cadence said, "is this true Leon?" He said, "yes it is." He lifted up his head and looked at the cart of food that is just now rolling in. He yelled, "FOOD," his mood changed from depressed to happy. 

Leon jumped about two yards and landed on the cart, Luna asked, "what the buck just happened?"
