3rd person POV:

Asura wasn't sure what this creature was called, but it reminded him about a certain gohma. It had one head and it had a spiky turtle like shell... Yes... now he remembers...



It was when he fought to save that girls village. And now it was back to haunt his memories. "Girls! Run away from here! This place is not safe!" The fillies were unsure at first, but then they started to run towards the village to warn everyone.

Now it was just him, and the monster. "I don't know what is your name creature, but i do know one thing..." Asura started to burn red flames again. "...you seek to destroy, don't you?" The Hydra was now fully concentrated to the demigod.

Then, suddenly... "AND THERE'S NO NEED FOR THE LIKES OF YOU!!!" Asura's terrifying aura was now taller than the Hydra, and it suddenly bursted when he started running towards the creature.

The Hydra noted this and attacked first. It threw one of it's heads towards Asura, which he dodged effortlessly. Then it tried to stomp Asura, when to its suprise, he was carrying it's whole weight. Asura thought this was a nice warmup for his attack. So he put his plan in motion. He threw the Hydra towards the sky, and grew 2 more pairs of arms.



He then jumped after the Hydra, which was now completely suprised. Asura was aware of this creatures state of mind and smirked.

"Say your prayers monster..." He then threw a barrage of fists towards the Hydras face(s). So fast that the normal eye could only hope to see. "HRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!!!!" He punched the creatures face(s) beyond recognition, where you would see teeth, you could now see pools of blood and broken bone. Where you could see a face, was now a broken skull. Asura stopped his attack to use the final move. He called upon his matra, hoping for the best.

"GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!!!"


(Sorry for the quality)

He had now grown giant gauntlets of gold and proceeded to finish this fight, that was until... "PLEASE STOOOOOP!!!"

A yellow pegasus with a pink mane was now right in front of his giant fist. time seemed to slow down as Asura quickly guided his fist away from the pony. He was about to ask why he stood in front of the creature when she started yelling to him "Why did you hurt him so badly?!" 'Him?' Asura thought.

"It's ok Quad, it's ok, the bad creature won't hurt you anymore..." The pony started crying now. Asura had no idea what was going on, but he knew that he had made someone cry... and that's what he hated the most. "I... I'm sorry, i didn't know he was your friend." She didn't look at him first, Asura continued... "And this is one thing I hate the most..." The pegasus looked at Asura confused "...I made someone cry. I do not expect you to forgive me, but do know this..." Asura kneeled in front of the pegasus "... I'm sorry"

Asura's POV

This isn't something to be forgiven, or that i would expect to be. "A-apology accepted." I felt a wave of relief go through me, until... "GET AWAY FROM HER!!!" I felt something hit me in the back, it didn't do as much as make me stumble, and it didn't hurt me either. I looked behind me and saw a cyan horse with wings and a rainbow coloured mane hold his hoofs in pain.

"Ow ow ow ow ow... how hard is that guy?" I heard her mutter something about a steel plated tree wich confused me more. "Ummm..." I seemed to have caught her attention when she suddenly got between me and the yellow pegasus. "Stay away from Fluttershy you monster!" "U-um... Rainbow Dash I-it's fine he..." "Don't worry Flutters, I'll keep ya safe."

Now that i had learned their names i thought it was my turn "Excuse me, my name is Asura, and I didn't even mean harm to her. I was fighting that creature behind you two..." The pony who was called Rainbow Dash turned around just to see my handy work in front of him. "YOU TOOK OUT A HYDRA?!"

Fluttershys POV:

Rainbow Dash shouted at the bipedal creature as if almost killing quad was cool. I was scared of Asura at first, but when he apologized, I felt that he was a good... um... I don't know what he is, maybe i should ask what he is. 

"Ummm... Could you tell me what species you are, if it's ok with you..." The creature turned to me and he said "I am what you would call a human, but I'm more like a demigod." We both froze as we heard that word. "A de-demigod?!" We both were very suprised to hear that this cre... I mean human was  royalty. 

We both were about to bow down until he used his... gauntlets to stop us both. "Do not bow down to me, I despise being warshipped." He said it gently, but there was power behind his words. "We should leave... it's getting dark."

3rd person POV:

Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash were discussing where Asura should live before he would be presented to the public, where as Asura would be looking very cautious... as if he was always expecting something.

Both mares looked at Asura as they noticed this. "Mr. Asura? Are you alright?" Fluttershy asked him "What? Did you say something?" Both mares looked at each other when shrugging. Asura wasn't sure if it was anything important, but quickly shrugged it off and focused back on keeping guard.

Asura's POV:

We got to the edge of the forest and the pegasus' waved each other a goodbye. Fluttershy motioned to follow her.

"Me and RD decided that you should stay in my hut until we can present you to the public." I smirked before I said... "Or we could wait for the chance for me to play hero." She giggled at that before opening the door.

What i found inside was something i didn't expect: there were multiple animals inside, dogs, cats, mice, birds, snakes etc. 

"I have the feeling that you're bonded with animals." I said as I petted a few cats and dogs. "Well, my cutie mark says that I'm good with animals." I admired her ability to help all kinds of animals, she even tried to help that creature called 'Hydra'. 

I frowned slightly as I remembered what I had done to her friend."*Yawn* Well... I'm going to sleep now, good night Mr. Asura." "Please, just call me Asura, and good night to you too."

Meanwhile at Canterlot

"Do you feel that sister?" A dark blue alicorn asked. "Yes I did, it seems to have taken residence in Fluttershy's hut." The white alicorn anwsered. Both sisters nodded at each other when they teleported in front of her hut. "Are you ready Luna?" The white one asked. "Are you Celestia?" The blue one playfully asked.

"This is not a game dear sister, we don't know what this being is capable of, but it has an evil aura inside it." Celestia scoffed at Luna. "I know, forgive me Celestia." Both princesses took a fighting stance as the door was surrounded by a pale blue aura.
