"Black knight. for your crimes against the Boros legion and against the Azoriouis council. We sentence you to eternal BANISHMENT!"

"Banish me as you will. Don't think i wont be back," Threatened the Black knight.

The Black knight was tall. 6'7 to be exact. His armor was tinted black giving it a medieval look. His sword was cross shaped with a flame like object attached to the end of the hilt.

"Yes, that's why we prepared. You will keep your armor and sword, but you will lose ALL of your memories of your days."

The man who was talking was a judge. The high judge to be exact. Whatever he say's go's.

Then a flash of light shined. A portal with a black hole and red swirling energy surrounded said hole. The energy that radiated off of it was so, so, sickening.

"I think i might throw up," said the Black knight nauseously.

Then the two guards pushed the knight into the portal. The knight's memories flashing through his mind. His horrible childhood with his prostitute mother and his drunkard father. Even the day he picked up his dad's sword and killed both of them.

"Good times," uttered the black knight


With a sudden flash of light a world appeared of world of light, love, and.... ugh friendship. Waking up in a field of grass there the knight was standing.

"Where the hell am i? How did i get here? And more importantly who am i?"

That finale question was echoing throughout his mind for what seemed hours but was only mere moments. Looking down at himself the black knight looked at his armor. And finally his blood stained sword.

"What the hell? Why is there blood on this?" Muttered the Black knight to himself.

Then the knight heard screams. Feminine screams. The knight rushed over and saw a huge bear attacking... attacking sentient ponies and a small lizard... whatever. You've seen weirder. Probably. The victims were a white pony with shiny purple hair, a orange pony with a cowboy hat, and a very small lizard like creature which was breathing puny green flames at the bear. Which had very little effect.

"HEY, HEY!" yelled the Knight at the huge creature. "Why don't you pick on someone your own size? Like Me,".

The huge creature approached the Knight nonchalantly. Poised to strike the bear swung its huge paw. Instinctively the Knight swung his sword at the bear. Not only amputating its paw but also decapitating it.

"You three ok?" Asked the knight sheathing his blade

"What did you do?" Asked the white mare

" I killed it," said the knight with a gasp in his breath.

"That was... never mind names applejack," said the orange mare letting out a hoove. "This here is Rarity and Spike"

"Pleasure. Ummmm I"m not from around here but could you tell me where the nearest town is?" Asked the knight politely

"Sure..." Said the so called "Rarity" still in shock.

The four started walking toward the town.

"I can only what Twilight's gonna do to you. Being your the FIRST we've seen of you," said spike seemingly waddling.

"I can wait to meet her," said The knight flatly.

"Here we are. Ponyville," Applejack said presenting the town of...Ponies .

"For now our guest can stay with me. I'll entertain him and feed him while you two get everyone else. Deal?" Rarity said with still some shock in her eyes .

"alright. spike you get twilight and fluttershy. I'll get dash and Pinkie," Applejack said talking to Spike.

"Oh and be careful. She'll eat you up" Applejack said right before dashing off

Opening the door for her guest Rarity sat down and so did the knight.

"So... What's your name?" Asked Rarity

" I don't know. Call me Caballero. It's really the only thing i can remember," said The knight fidgeting with his hands.

"Caballero. Sounds nice i must say. Rolls off the tongue," Rarity said with seemingly no more shock. "So how did you do it? Kill that bear? And more importantly why?" Asked Rarity curiously

"Well...," Said the black knight right before the door was busted open by a cyan rainbow blur streaking across the room right before stopping in front the armored knight.

"So this the guy? Not much to look at i must say,".

"I'm sure he's a looker under the suit. Go on take it off" said Rarity with a little intrigue in her eyes.

With a bouncing pink mare, a seemingly very shy butter colored Pegasus, two unicorns, a orange colored mare, and a impatient Cyan Pegasus who's crotch is his face who an say no?

Sighing the Knight took off his helmet; revealing a Caucasian male with black eyes and hair with a little soul patch on his chin. his features were tone but yet smooth at the same time.

"Here ya go," said The knight before plopping himself in a nice cushioned sofa.

"so, you killed the bear?" asked fluttershy so quiet The knight could barely hear.

"Yes. I did. But only because i saw people who were in trouble," said the knight looking down. seemingly mad at himself for killing another living being.

Then out of no where the pink mare tackles him knocking both him and the sofa over.

"THIS CALL'S FOR A PARTY!!!! WE SHOULD THROW A PARTY!!!!!" yelled the pink mare at the top of her voice.

"So loud...." groaned the knight

"Haha. Maybe we should throw this guest a party. After he talk's to me," said a mysterious figure.

"Who are you?" asked the knight

"I'm Celestia and i need to talk to you,"

"Well i suppose i have no choice in the matter" Grumbled the knight.

After being escorted to the town of "Canterlot" and going into the giant throne room with only the two in the room. And after a minute of silence the knight finally asked a single question.

"Why am i here?"

"I only wish to ask you some questions. Then i will let you leave. Who are you?" Asked Celestia forcefully

"I don't know ma'am. I wish i did. But i don't."

"Next question. Where will you live?"

"No idea "

"I-i-i-i-f you want you can stay with m-m-me," said Futtershy walking into the throne room. "I-i-i-i-i was just awfully worried and i followed. S-s-s-s-sorry"

"It's alright Fluttershy. And i believe that's a very good idea," said Celestia reassuring the butter colored Pegasus.

After everyone bid their farewells and the knight was escorted to Fluttershy's very nice cottage. Sure the animals didn't like you but that comes with the whole "you killed one of their animal brethren" thing but whatever you don't mind it. She showed you around and told you the other ponies bid their good tidings for you. Finally she showed you to your room. It was a nice room. Very well kept. Nice white curtains wooden floorboards and a nice fluffy bed.

"Well good night um....," Fluttershy said nervous since she forgot the knight's name .

"Call me Caballero"

Then Fluttershy finally went to bed herself. But you barley slept and when you did... it was horrible. There you were in a battlefield lying with bodies of men, women, and.... children. You saw a figure on top of the mountain of bodies. But he was no normal "person". He was a skeleton wearing a leather jacket with hell fire spewing out of his bones. And he sounded just like you. Had a sword just like yours. And finally there he was grabbing someone out from the pile. It was Fluttershy. She was crying begging for him to snap out of it. It took a turn for the worse. You viewed it from his point of view. You decapitate Fluttershy with your flaming sword.

"NOOOOO!" The knight yell's as he wakes up.

"YOU OK?!" Said a VERY panicked Fluttershy.

"Yeah.. yeah just had a... nightmare. that's all. Just a nightmare,"

"So, what happened exactly?" Asked a very worried Fluttershy.

"I... i just.... had,,, a very bad dream," said a very disgruntled Caballero.

"What happened?"

"It was a dream where you have no control of. A dream where i... hurt people."

"Oh.... I'm sorry..."

"It's ok. I.. need a walk. Alone. Please."

"Go ahead. I'll be here."

The forest around the cottage was beautiful and of course; bustling with animals. However the animals avoided you. Like you were bursting out death. Which you felt like you were. The armor was heavy but very mobile. It didn't at all hinder your movements. But more importantly you were afraid to take off the armor. It felt like there was something... Evil inside. You finally realize you were walking for a WHILE. It seemed like you were in the heart of the forest and it also seemed that you are very thirsty. Then there it was. A hut in the middle of the FREAKING forest.

"Ok?"

Knocking on the door politely; you hear a strange accent that you've never head of ask-

"Hello? Who are you?"

"I'm Caballero. I was wondering if i could have some water. Please?"

"Of course. Come in. I am Zecora."

The apparent zebra named Zecora handed you a tea cup of water.

"Thank you."

"So your the famous Caballero. I have read many stories on you. Your called many things."

"What do you mean?"

"Back in your world your called The black knight. But your are called many things. In our lore your called the Rider."

Pulling out a scroll she shows a picture with a line down the middle.

"You see caballero on the 5th moon of your time in this world; you will choose two. Path of destruction"

Zecora points to the side of the scroll where there was fire, skeletons, and a burning moon.

"Or the path of creation."

Then Zecora points to the side where there was light, kid's and seemingly..

"Fluttershy?" Caballero say's confused

"Yes. You will be very happy with this path" Said Zecora.

" Then i choose this path!"

"Not so fast. You must face your inner demon's. And WIN," Said Zecora emphasizing WIN

"I...I have to go"

"Oh and Caballero? I must tell you one thing"

"What?"

"WIN. Not only for Equestria. But do it for Fluttershy."

"Dont worry. I'm going to."
