Chapter 3:New Friends, Old Enemies

WOW! I didn't think that this story was going to be a success. Thank you all for the support, and don't be afraid to tell me what's wrong, if there are places that need corrections and stuff, post it in the comments, i'll be reading them.

Well, here it is. The third chapter, as the chapter name says, there will new friends and old enemies.

================================================================================
As Alex sits in his cave he notices that within his first whole week he's been doing nothing but sitting in his cave. And so Alex decides to head out to make new friends.

Wait a minute, i don't have a proper name.

Alex hadn't thought of it before, but he did realize the names of the locals were a bit off, i mean Rainbow Dash? Fluttershy? Alex had to come up with a new name. Seconds later, Alex looks out at the quiet village in the distance, with a new name and a new life ahead of him.

"Well, time to go make the most out of my new life."

As Alex approaches the village he notices something weird, the locals were friendly towards him, sure some of them looked at him with disgust, some still wore their faces of fear, but most of them were smiling and waving at him as he passed by.

"Hey there!" An excited Pinkie Pie exclaims.

"What do you want?" Alex replies.

"I'm just here to say thanks!"

"What for?"

"Because of yesterday silly!"

Alex nodded. He knew that it would pay off sooner or later. But that was only one of his problems. He was still a stranger in a strange land.

"Hey did you hear? There's a new pony in town!" Pinkie Pie excitedly exclaims.

"What's his name?" A curious Alex asks.

"Why don't you asks him? He's at my party."

"Sure why not?"

As Alex walked toward the party, he wasn't sure why he had agreed to come, he just had a feeling that he would find something interesting. As Alex entered he found an unusual pony, it had white fur but he wore a white cloak, he had a sword strapped to his side and he had something on his arm, it would sprout blades occasionaly.

Alex knew exactly who this was. He ran over and gave him a hug, relieved that he's not the only one that will be going through this, he had a companion, a friend, that could go through all of this with him. Alex still hugged the pony while wearing the happiest smile in the world. The pony looked quite annoyed.


"Let me go!" The pony answered.

"Oh, sorry." Alex answered.

The pony that Mercer hugged was none other than the great Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad. They had met when one of Mercer's concept portals brought him back to Altaïr's time period. Alex would have stayed but Altaïr's time was still filled with chaos and murder. So he leaped back into the portal after greeeting Altaïr.

"Yes it's good to see you to old friend." Altaïr replied.

"Indeed." An excited Alex responded.

By now everyone stopped what they were doing and was focusing on them.

"So, who's ya new friend?" Applejack asked.

"This is Altaïr, we met some time ago." Alex replied

"Why does he have a sword? Is he a SPY?" Rainbow Dash asks suspiciously.

"He used to be an assassin."

And with those final words everyone fell silent, and then went back to their activities, eyeing Altaïr once in a while.

"I think i should be going." Alex says.

As he was about to leave a timid female voice called him, he turned around to find Fluttershy standing.

"Can I help you? Alex asks

"Uhm, yes uhh, i was wondering what your name was, you rambled it off so quickly yesterday that we couldn't hear." Fluttershy answered.

"The name is Alex Marecer."

And with that, Alex leaves to go back to his cave. Not to hide, but to think, if other people like Altaïr can pass though the portal, could his sister come too? He pondered the thought for a while, but dismissed it alter. As he gazed down at the village, he couldn't help but notice another portal opening up.

"Better go check it out."

As soon as Alex reached he couldn't help but feel like something was wrong. But before Alex could leave, a figure stepped out of the portal. It was James Heller. Alex couldn't move, he knew that this was the man that consumed and killed his evil biomass clone, but why was he here, Alex knew that James was just as strong and poweful as he is. Plus he was a military sergeant before Alex's evil biomass clone could infect it. If a fight broke out now, the odds would be in his favor.

"So, how's it going?" James asks

"Uhm, ok." Alex replies

"You know a place I could stay?

"Sure, i stay in a cave nearby."

As Alex and James walked to the cave, he couldn't help but feel awkward. When they arrived James laid down and took a nap while Alex sat there and gazed at the village. He couldn't help but feel much more relieved now that another Prototype had arrived. As Alex wondered about the possibilities, the things they could do together, but he was stopped short when he heard a huge roar come from the mountain tops.

================================================================================
Sorry if this was a bit short, but it's setting the scene for the next chapter, coming out 27th-28th.
