> Prototype: the kind evolve > by Blacklight Brony > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > NYZ > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A new day in NYZ. The birds are singing and the daily ‘evolve attack’ is all over the news. I’m Conner and before New York became the New York Zone aka NYZ, I used to live in the red zone. I barely escaped. If it wasn’t for an army patrol I would have died to the brawlers. I lost my parents to the brawlers. I lost my home to the virus. A commander brings me food every day. He’s like my dad. I still go to elementary school in the green zone. Today I was waking to school. It was a beautiful day. Not a cloud in the sky. Mom, dad if you can see me I’m fine. Thank you for what you did over the years when you were alive. I walk past an ally and a hand covers my mouth and drags me into the ally. I try to scream, but it’s muffled. I began to cry. Is this how I die. I avoided all the dangers in the red zone to die here. I’m throne agent a wall and see my makes. “Hey there kid. You see what we have?” The teen asked waving a knife in my face. He looks like he’s seventeen. “Now give us all your money.” His voice was like a the devils to my ears. “I-I-I only have 20 cents.” I told him. Please don’t let him kill me. “Don’t give me that shit. GIVE ME ALL YOUR MONEY. I know you have more.” He must be insane. “I don’t have any money I swear.” I began to cry out. “ P-P-please don’t hurt me! Please!” “You’ve seen to much.” He said calmly. He rammed the knife’s blade in to my stomach ten times. I screamed out and fell to the floor. I looked at the teen who stabbed me. He was decapitated and in his place was ALEX MERCER! I need help I don’t care who from. “Help me.” I asked with a little sorrow. He reached for me and I black out. —�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—� I wake up and notice a window and look outside. It was dark. Who saved me. This isn’t my home. “Your a wake. Glad to see it.” A calm soothing voice said. It sounded male. “I had to giv you my gift. Your an evolved now.” My hart sank when I herd that. I turned to look at him. It was him. Alex Mercer. I went to the other side of the room. He approach me slowly. “I’m not going to hurt you.” That got me to calm a little. “Where’s your mom and dad?” I began to cry. “Did your family use to live in the red zone?” I nodded. “Where they killed by brawlers?” I nodded again. “I’ll help you get home kid. What’s your name?” His soft tone calmed me down by a lot. “C-Conner.” I said meekly. He gave a soft smile that I returned. “Here, take this. If you need help. Press one and it will call me immediately.” He gave me a iPhone 6. “What about school?” I was scared that blackwatch would find out I’m an evolved. “Don’t worry. Blackwatch won’t check schools. I only made you an evolved to save your life.” He gave me a soft smile that I returned. It’s been three months since I’ve seen Alex Mercer. I continue with school like normal. I found my powers of speed and strength early when someone tried to mug me again. Today I felt like I was being followed home. Once I got inside the door burst open. I saw James Heller. I coward under his glare. “Are you an evolve?” He asked in the most serous tone he could muster. I can’t win I never killed anyone. I only knock people away not kill them. I nodded meekly. “Why would Alex do this?” His stern look slowly disappearing. “I-I-I was st-stabbed t-ten times. He saved my life.” I answered still a scared about the out burst. “Did he ask you to join him?” He’s tone is getting less serious. I shook my head. “Do you have a phone?” I nodded. “If Blackwatch attacks you call me and I’ll deal with them.” I gave him a small and he returned it. He walked away. “Ok, Ok its just a new school year.” I told my self. I begin third grade today. It has been a year since I became an evolved. The red zone has begun to invade the yellow zone. “What’s the worst thing that can happen?” I’m stressing out hard. I’ve walked around the room a lot now. I’m so nervous. What if my powers act up. What if an evolved tries to kill everyone. What happens if it becomes a red zone. What if Blackwatch uses bloodtox! I’ll die for sure. I need to stop panicking. I take deep breaths and I calm down. On the way to school my anxiety picks up. I breath heavier. More deep breaths that will stop it. I haven’t breath that heavily since getting out of the red zone. I had to run from brawlers, hydras, Goliath, juggernauts, and flyers. That day was hectic. How did I live. I should have died. I made it to school with a sad expression. I remember what happened to my parents. Most teachers asked ‘what’s wrong’. I responded with ‘its fine’. Today was special because Blackwatch is here. I was scared the entire time. I wanted to run. I wanted to hide. But they’ll find me. They’ll kill me. No please leave. Alex, James help me. I closed my eyes when the one who could detect evolved approached me. I looked at him with fearful eyes. I just turned 6. Let me live please. He gripped my head and lifted me off the ground. No, No, NO! I screamed out of pain. The rest looked at the soldier in fear. I began to cry. He slammed me to the ground. Please leave and let me live. Have mercy. He took off his gas mask. He was smiling the most scary smile ever. “Stop. He’s just a kid.” Yelled a fifth grader. A Blackwatch trooper walked to him. BANG He fell to the ground dead. That angered me I know our amendments and they took away our freedom of speech. I noticed the pistol on the one closest to me I took it and shot the one that could sense me in the head. He fell limp to the ground. Dead. Everyone looked at me not with fear, but with happiness. I stud up to them. One gave an order. THE ROOM IS BEING FILLED WITH BLOODTOX!!! “SHIT!” Was all I could say. The word was used when I was stabbed. I cough up blood. I couldn’t see. I felt weak. I fell to the ground and a bright light covered me. I continue to cough blood but I could see now. I was somewhere else. I finished my coughing fit and got up. I look be hind me and saw a person with a white dress. She had a home and wings. She had fur that was white and a muzzle. I know this because I like horses. She also has flowing rainbow hair. Two people with spears points them at me. I look around more and see I’m in a class room. They all look like they’re my age. The one that caught my eye was a purple fur girl. She had a black shirt on and a purple skirt. I noticed that she had pointed ears that were on the top of her head so did the white one. The two guards I presume look like there about to attack and I can only utter a single word: “Shit.” > Not so friendly memories > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- One takes a jab at me and I punch him. He goes through a wall the othe looks at me in fear. The other takes a horizontal swipe at me. I grab his spear and snap it in half and rush him. I upper cut him and his head gets stuck in the roof. I become restrained in a yellow ora. Another guard grabs me by the head. The resent memory flashes through my mind. I grab his wrist screaming. The pain in the scream was noticeable. The white one stud up an walked to me. “Why did you attack.” She asked. I was almost stabbed. “I know that you where attacked first. But why almost break the guards arm? He didn’t attack you.” Her voice was angelic. It calmed me down. She gave a glare at the guard still holding me by the head. I noticed that I was breaking his arm. I let go and so did he. “I thought you were with Black watch.” I told her almost about to sob. She placed her hand on my head. Her horn started to glow. A preview of my memories.The first one was when the red zone began and when I escaped. I walked to the living room. I was going to ask mom what is this about a pathogen that was in our area. I made it to the next hallway and saw blood covered the walls and floor. I saw a figure sitting down. I walked closer to it. It was my dad. I began to cry. I touched his head and it fell off. I stumbled backwards. Then stepped over him. I noticed a figure on all fours eating something. I stepped on glass and it turned to face me the hall was closer to the door. I was right next to it. I looked at what it was eating. It was mom. I ran out the door and down the street. I took a left and a hydra came out the ground in front of me. I turned around quickly. I ran faster than I ever have before. In front of me was a goliath. I burst in to the nearest skyscraper. It stopped out side and left. Something jumped behind me and it was like the first figure but armored. It was a juggernaut. I ran out and looked up. I saw the flyers. I saw the check point of the army. A flyer picked me up. We flew for ten seconds. Eventually we were close to the ground. I punched it in the head. I dropped me and I hit the ground hard. I fell and immediately got up. The flyer tackled me and tried to bite me. It bit once. I tilted my my head left. It did it again and I tilted my head to the right. I put my hand under it’s beak and jerked it to the right. A loud crack was sounded. I threw it off me and ran the rest of the way to the checkpoint. I made it inside. They asked me about my parents and I began to cry. He told his superior that they found another civilian and the parents are dead. The memory went away and the white one embarrassed me. I returned the hug with gusto. “Those ‘things’ can’t hurt you anymore.” She said in a converting tone. “My name is Celestial. What’s yours?” “C-Conner.” I said meekly and Celestia looked at me with a soft smile. “Well Twilight you helped somepony today even if it failed. Don’t let it get you down. Keep trying and you’ll get it.” She said to the purple girl that I now know as Twilight. “Come on Conner.” She moshed to me to follow and I did. We walked through the city. People stared at me. Then a a question popped in my head. “Why did you say somepony instead of somebody?” My question was hear by everyone near by. “Where ponies. Your not?” She asked. “No I’m human.” I say with pride. “Where are we going?” I asked her. “To the castle in front of us.” She answered neutrally. She doesn’t boast does she. “Well I’ll meet you there.” “What do you me-“ she was cut off as I sprinted and vaulted over a two story building. I continued on my run. If there was a large cluster I would enter a wall run. I made it to the entrance of the castle and waited. She walked towards the castle and was in awe. “How did you get here. I saw you vault over the building.” “I’m an evolved. A genetically modified person because of a virus called black light.” I say with a little fear that she will kill me. “Really?” She asked. “Yes it makes us more resilient, strong, fast, and agility. If I wanted to I could kill someone in one punch.” I say like it’s no big deal. “Would you?” She started to look scared. “If I have to yes. I never had to except for that flyer.” I slowly regained my smile. “I won’t do it even if there’s a chance that they could listen to reason.” I took out my phone and tried to call Alex. No response. I tried to call James. Still no response. “Aunti- WHAT IS THAT THING!!!” Screamed a white man with blond hair. He wore a tuxedo. “That beast should be in the locked in the dungeon.” “Hey, shut up.” “How dare you talk to a noble like that.” “I will give respect when it is given.” He shot a beam at me and it right through my heart. I feel back and took a dead position. Celestia was telling off that man that I now know as Blueblood. I twitched my right pointer finger. Then I clenched my hand. I eventually got back up earning gasps from everyone near by. I put my hand near my chest and it went out my back. I took my hand out and tendrils covers the wound and left like it wasn’t there in the first place. My head began to hurt. I clenched my head and threw them down. I felt a new power. I walked to Blueblood and grabbed his throat and lifted him in the are. I formed my arm into a blade and pressed in it to his throat. He began to scream. I regained my sense and pulled my blade to my side. I turned my blade into my arm. I walked back and curled into a ball after realizing what I did. Celestia tried to convert me. She looked into my memory and showed it. The guards looked at it. It was the day I turned in to an evolved. She stopped it when the man was decapitated by Alex. She passed it and went to when I met James. She stopped it when he left. “You’ve been threw more than I can imagine.” She said with sadness. “Thanks mo-“ I cut my self off when I heard what I said. She looked at me with happiness. “I guess I could raise you and help you control your anger. If you like?” “Yes, thank you.” I gave her ha huge. Blueblood only scoffed. “I get you a room to stay in.” She smiled at me. The warmest smile she gave me. She prepared the room and I walked in and went to sleep. > First day part 1 magic lesson and cafeteria fight > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It my first day of school. It was a week since I’ve been here. I walk down the hall getting looks from the other students. Celestia puts me in the same class as he student, Twilight, and told me not to revile my powers. She said: ‘If anyone asks, an evolve is a type of human that makes us faster.’ I agree that telling them it makes me stronger is a bad idea. Many because other students would want to take me down. Plus I don’t want to put people in the hospital. “Hay, do you have that thing I came with?” I ask with a slight sense of worry in my voice. “Yes, do you want it back?” She said and gave a glance at me which caused me to glance back. “Yes I would like it back. It is a weapon. I would feel safer if I had it because I know how to us it. Plus I don’t want to be the cause of a suicide.” I say and she whence when I say suicide. She understands sense I can take a fatal blow and get up like it’s nothing. It forms in my hands. I pocket holster the 1911. Where about to enter the class room when she gave me a hug. It caught me off guard. I return the hug. We separate ad walk in. She shows my memories to the class to see how my life was like. First it was Memories of my life before the red zone. It was nice. The next was my escape of the red zone. “W-W-What are those things?” One student asked. “Could you tell the names of these creatures?” Celestia asks earning a nod from me. “Keep in mind these us to be human.” I say and a picture of a brawler pops up. “Brawler.” It turns to a long creature that protrude from the ground. “Hydra.” That earned a gasp from the crowd. The next creature was a tall human with a shield for a right arm. “Goliath.” The next picture was a fat creature and it looked human. “Juggernaut.” The last looked like a bird. “Flyer. Fun fact I faced all these you see now in one day. I only had to kill one thing. I had nightmares for a month. So many dead. Thousands. Millions. I don’t know who could do all this. Blackwatch framed it on one person. I think otherwise.” Another picture shows and it’s a man with blades for arms. It was an evolve. “I’m not completely sure what it is. I only know facts. All I know is that they are shapeshifters. They can consume an animal or person, not by the way you thank, and turn into them. They can also turn their arms into weapons and shields. I ran into two while I was in the NYZ aka New York Zones. There are hundreds, but some are nice and others are evil. One saved my life after I got stabbed ten times. He killed the man that stabbed me, but he looked like he broke out of a mental institution. The other is looking for bad ones and taking them out.” I slide a finger around my neck. “If you know what I mean. I’ve seen others on rooftops and on TV destroying Blackwatch.” “That’s horrible. Why would they do that.” It was the purple mare. Her name was Twilight as Celestia put it. “Actually that’s a good thing. We have these things called the amendments to help protect us against the corruption in the government. If broken by government we can destroy it and start a new. One was the freedom of speech. He was nine years old and he said: ‘He’s only a kid. You can’t do this.’” I stop quickly because it made my hatred rise. “What did they do?” Twilight had a worried look on her face. When she hears about it I don’t know what will happen. “They killed him.” A collected gasp was heard. “It made me so angry they needed to be put to justice. I wasn’t thanking clearly. I let my rage take over. One was choking me. Trying to kill me because I’m different. They thought I was one of them. I took his gun,” I unholstered the 1911, put it on safety, and twirled it. “and made him go six feet under. They had a gas that can hurt people like me and kill us if needed. If they capture us they will experiment on us.” I feel tears crawling down my face. “We live in hiding. We are a rare type of people. Where like one for every five-hundred million. There are seven billion alive in the world. Our species live in fear of the military finding us. We are evolve.” I look at everyone— pony the terminology still getting better. They are almost in tears to know I’m being hunted down for living. The bell chimes and Celestia told me that there are periods like in middle school. For the magic one I would sit and watch for math, reading, social studies, and science. She leaves to go do something. I don’t mind it at all. Next is magic training to day is shields. “You why don’t you try to brake my shield.” The teacher said in a cocky tone. She wore a black suit and a white button up shirt under neath. Her dress was long and had a lot of slack. It looked like it was meant for running. “Ok just don’t keep your hopes high.” I say getting into a running stance. I’m twenty yards away. I sprint towards her and reach it in three seconds and punch the shield with all my strength it shaders and the punch continues and I fit her. She goes flying and through the wall. “Sorry didn’t mean to do that.” “That. Was... Amazing. You can just punch through magic shields. How.” She has an excited look on her face. I look to twilight and she has a parchment and quill. “Well while running I put my self in a position where my center of mass was forwarded to my upper body. The speed made the push stronger. We have a rule called The rules of motion. I apply those rules. Mass times acceleration equals force. Get it. Sorry if I broke any bones.” My explanation caused everypony to look at Twilight. They look at me. They continue this process ten times. “Why do you look at me then Twilight like that?” “Your like Twilight in every way. You two are nerds. The only thing is that you can fight and hold your oun. Twilight here can’t do that.” He explains giving her a look like he wants to harm her. I’ll sit by her to protect her. The bell rings and we’re off. “Where are we going to?” I ask not looking at Twilight. She smirks and answers. “The cafeteria. It lunchtime.” She sounds so cherry. I smirk and glance at her not moving my head. We make it to the cafeteria and get our food. I sit down and the same per- ponies come towards us. I get prepared for a fight. “Hay there Twilight. Why don’t you give us what we want and we’ll leave.” He said I get up and shove him away. I place myself in front of them and Twilight. I cross my arms. He gets the message. He throws a punch. I grab his wrist and twist it be hind his back. To make sure he won’t do this again I lift him in the air. He screams in pain and I let go. The other two run at me. I side step and spin kick one in the head. I don’t use enough force to make him go flying, but enough to knock him out. The other runs away. The bell rings again and I look at Twilight. “Where next?” I ask With a neutral look on my face. > First day part 2 show of agility and history > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Next is P.E. We got to run it’s on the other side of the school.” She said as we run out of the cafeteria. I gain the lead as she tells me the directions. “Look out! We have stuff in our way.” I say still running. I see a janitor cart in the way. I quickly vault over it. We turn a corner and see a huge crowd. “Damn it.” I say getting some attention. I pick up Twilight bridle stile . I run at the wall at a forty-five degree angle. “Are you crazy?!” She screamed gaining the attention of the crowd. I don’t answer as I enter a wall run over the crowd and set her down. I look at the crowd and their in awe or amazed at what I did. I smirk, turn, and run off with Twilight in tow. We continue running for three minutes. Finally we make it to the gym. I feel fine and continued running laps around the room. More and more ponies show up. I stop by Twilight and see she has a loss of breath still. I help her up. She thanks me and the teacher exams me. She walks up to me. I stare with a neutral expression. “Today we will be doing an obstacle course.” She said not taking her attention away from me. “New kid you first.” Some of the others snicker, but I only smirk. “I hoped you would ask me. I would love to.” I grin confidently and walk to the starting line. I hear a sound and it was loud. I ran as fast as I could the first obstacle was a ten foot wall with dangling ropes. I was suppose to us the ropes to get over the wall. I didn’t. I jumped and vaulted over it. I hear a gasp from the crowd. I hit the ground and it cracks under the pressure of my landing. Next is a rock wall. Nothing under it but I get the gesture. I look at the crowd and see celestia there. Time to put on a show. I enter a wall run across the rock wall, careful to watch my step. I make it and the last one is another rock wall that’s fifty feet. There is a bell on the top with a sine that says ‘end’. I don’t slowdown and plant a foot on the wall. I run directly up defining gravity. There was tendrils covering my legs as I went up. When I reach the to I grabbed a rock then the bell and rang it. I drop down falling fast, but was stopped by a golden ora. I felt the ground under me and fell backwards. Celestia looks angry and relieved at the same time. Which surprises me. I nervously laugh and put my hands on the back of my head. I fall back. ‘I’m definitely getting told off.’ She lifts me with her magic and plants me on my feet. She then gives he a hug, which cough me off guard. I returned it and soon let go. “Why did you do that? You could have gotten hurt.” She asks worried. I sigh I jump high up, around twenty feet, and land creating cracks in the ground. “That is only half of the height I can jump. NYZ is full of dangerous beasts. You learn to run, hide, and kill. You learn that or you die.” I explain darkly. It was so solum most of the ponies recoil. I hear the bell. “Next is history, right. Let’s go.” I begin to walk off when Celestia stops me and gives me a parchment. I read it and grow a smile. The biggest one I can muster. I have a mom now. I can’t stop smiling. It’s been two years since I’ve had one. She could be my role model. Twilight walks up and I give her the parchment. She gasps with a smile. She hugs me saying: “Your luck to get her as a mother.” I smile and return the hug. “What about your mother back at your home?” That question gets me to look away. “His biological mother is no longer with us.” Mom answered for me. I walk out the room and mom follows. In one minute we reach the history class. I walk in and it was ten minutes into the class. Twilight and I walk to our seats. “So new kid, how do you like this world or more specifically Equestria?” The teacher asks. I look around the room to see all eyes on me. I look at her with a neutral expression and it quickly turns to a smile. “Good a lot better than the NYZ.” I respond with the happiest expression I can muster. She looks at me with a questioning look. “How so?” One of her ears fold down and the other straight up. It looks quite cute. “Nothing wants to kill me all the time. The infected always find a way into the green and yellow zones.” She looks a little more confused. “Yellow zone is more prone to becoming a red zone. The green zone is heavily fortified and if and evolve is found, there killed on site. Unfortunately I’m an evolve.” Her ears fold back, her eyes widen, and her pupils srunk to pin pricks. I look at mom and she had the same expression. Fear. “There where two out brakes. I lived on the edge of an infected zone and got lucky it didn’t expand. If it did I would be dead now.” The are all taken aback at what I said. Mom stays by me and Twilight. She looks concerned. She’s family now. What is my life going to be like now. It’s so different from theNYZ. If I can I’ll see if I can get a room for training my powers. Consuming is going to be hard to train sense I need to kill a living thing. History isn’t my best subject. I can’t pay attention. I often daydream and almost fall asleep. Man I can’t wait for the bell to ring. It does and I continue to the rest of my classes with Twilight. She so instead in the classes, but I found a club that can help me with my combat training. Twilight and I became fast friends after to day. Mom and I walk back to the castle. I go to sleep after getting to my room. The last thing I saw was that mare on the moon. Quite an amazing site to see. I grin knowing there will be something happening soon. My thoughts are cut off as the darkest over takes me. > Party mishap > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ten years went by as I kept my powers a secret. When others ask me how I ran straight up a wall, I just say: ‘I had a little help.’ I didn’t even tell Twilight. It’s funny I was thanking it would be fun because I could use my powers. Well I’m going to a party. I pretty much need to. I’m just as antisocial as Twilight. I’m almost there I just need to pick up Twilight. She’s standing outside the house with the party. “Ready, Twilight?” I ask hope she would say no. Please say no. “Of course I’m ready!” She exclaims happy. Damn, if I said it it would happen. I sigh and we walk in. I immediately go get drinks. All they have is beers. Ok it looks like I’m getting drunk today. Can evolve even get drunk. That will be a tested to day. I walk back to Twilight with the drinks and she has this hesitant look on her face. I tap her on the shoulder and give her the drink. She has a purple long sleeve shirt, blue pants, and black shoes on. I have a black cloak on with a orange undershirt. I had black paint and combat boots as well. All created from biomass. I even created a holster for my gun made completely of biomass. “Thank you. How are you holding up?” She asks taken a sip only to cringe at the tast. I don’t take a sip I’ll wait. “Good. I can’t remember the last time I was at a party. It was so long ago. I was still in the NYZ last time I was at a party. It was my birthday.” She seems a little sad after hearing that statement. “It’s fine. I glad I left that shot hole. It was still my home so I’m going to have to wait a see it’s future.” I finish and Fancy Pants walk up to us. He’s warring casual clothing. He’s a nice, but ponies suck up to him. He’s a little annoyed form the look of it. “Ponies are trying to start fights. It’s hard to keep them in order.” He said to me. Him and Twilight are the only ones that know I’m adopted by Celestia. “Bet it’s hard. Just be glad you don’t have to dress up like your going to an event right now.” I finish my statement and he only snickers a little. “Your right, but I fear that I will have to dress like that all the time.” We share a fearful look. “I’m so glad I don’t care enough for a public opinion. I just like to be happy.” Fancy only glares at me. “My parents force me. I have to agree, in Canterlot, your public image is how others judge you.” I sigh and he picks up on it. He knows what I’m about to say. “I know, ponied should judge by actions, not appearance. One bad thing about Canterlot.” I stop my disappointing look. He was right. In Canterlot if you weren’t important you are trash. “Well I need to leave. Keep fights outside. Bye.” He leaves the room after I give him a soft wave. “He’s being worked to the bone.” Twilight said getting me out of thought. “Ya, he will only turn down our help.” I say and sigh. Twilight takes a drink of the beer. “You get use to the taste after the first sip.” She continues drinking. She gets ten before she becomes drunk. “Damn it Twilight. You need coffee.” I set her down and sit beside her. She falls asleep and I watch over her. She is going to have one hell of a hangover. She begins to stir in her sleep. ‘I hope that headache was worth it.’ I take a beer and down it. She was right you do get use to it after the first sip. I stand up and try to walk. “That wasn’t that ba— GAH!” I yell and see Twilight wake up. It hurts so much. It was only one. I don’t even have a liver. It’s suppose to turn to biomass. Why does it hurt so much. I try to crawl, but it fails. I look at my stomach and it’s falling off. The beer did THIS. I then see the biomass combine in to one. How is this happening. Why is it. It was only one. I’m losing al out of biomass. It just keeps gathering into that pile. Darkness begins to overtake me. The biomass turns into an animal, but what kind. The next thing I notice is the door open. We were alone because I didn’t want Twilight to have a horrible mood because of the hangover. I see a few guest walk in. I throw up. It was blood and I fell more drained. I try to stand, but it was futile. I fall back down and hear a scream. I look back at my stomach and it had those ten wounds from when I was stabbed. They where bleeding profusely. I pass out. The darkness was vast. Is this what it feels like to be unconscious. The darkness kept me company, even though it couldn’t speak. I was left to my thoughts. How did this happen. I know the caused this, but how? I stay like that for adages. Then light I saw light at the end of my view. I grew brighter and larger each second. I wake up in a hospital bed. I felt something furry to my left. I looked over there and I am surprised. I could tell it was apart of me, but had a mind of its own. It was a wolf. A small one. It opens it eyes and I see the blue eyes. It’s acting like a actual dog not a wolf. I scratch it behind the ears and it perks up. It climes on to my chest and falls asleep. This is amazing, except for the pain after drinking the beer. I’m never drinking a beer again. I look around the room to see get well cards and see some flowers. There was a lot. How long was I out. The door opens and I see mom walk in and I only wave at her. She notices the wolf and is a little frightened. I lay my head down and pet my wolf. Over time more ponies walk in. Eventually the entire room is filled with my class. They all wish me a safe recovery. Should I tell them about the regeneration I go through when I’m hurt. I just need biomass or an animal to consume. I’ll be weak for a while. “How long was I out? It felt like a hour.” I say getting worried looks from everyone. Mom speaks first. “One month. What happened?” Her tone was a worried tone. “Some pony snuck through a window. I tried to get them to leave, but he pined me to a wall and stabbed me.” I used my biomass to create a scar if they aren’t convenient. All, but mom, leave. Her horn glows and a spell was cast. “What really happened, Connor?” Her tone was stern. I used my biomass to remove the fake scar. “I had one beer. My guess was there was alcohol in it. I didn’t know. The alcohol must have merged with my biomass and it began to fall off. It gathered and created the puppy.” I put my hand on the puppy. She was amazed. “I’m never drinking again. Manly because it will literally kill me. If you excuse me I need to get dressed.” Tendrils cover my body and I’m dressed. Sense winter is coming I formed gloves.” Where’s my pistol?” I found it on the stand beside the bed. I form a holster on my side and put the gun in. Mom has learned a duplication spell so I have bullets. We left and I see the entire class there. Wow, was it really that bad. Man I didn’t thank I had this impact on people. I walk through the crowd and head home. The wolf does the same. He’s a good wolf. My dad use to play dark souls. So I’ll call him Sif. I like that name anyway. I pick him up and carry him home with me. > Secret gone and I’m back > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was five years since that ‘incident’ with the alcohol. Sif hasn’t grown at all and I’m surprised. Twilight helped me take care of the wolf. My powers haven’t been displayed so far. Twilight is heading to a place called ponyville. I’m stuck in Canterlot. “Well I’m bord.” I say out loud gaining the attention of mom. She only chuckles. “If my memory serves me right, there is a mare that throws a party for every new pony that moves to ponyville.” Mom informs leaving me confused. “You can go there at five.” I smile and thank her. The hours fly by as I was practicing my jump. I was going to jump there. I told mom and she wants to stop me. I tell her that evolves kind and heart can be obliterated and we will live. She was taken aback. I only smirk. “Prepare for lift off!” I scream only to receive odd looks from the guards. The begin to crowd up. I feel the tendrils moving around my legs. Sif jumps in my arms. I bend my knees and extend them into a powerful jump. I see ponyville closing in fast. It is almost as big as Canterlot. How is this a minor town. I guess it’s because there is a lack of ponies. There is a tree in the center of town. I’m going to land there. It is the largest tree I’ve ever seen. As I landed there and notice the lights and music. I try to walk in, but something hits me in the back. It throw me in to the door, destroying it. “Damn that hurt. Wha—“ I stop after I see what it was. It was a brawler. “HOLY SHIT!” I scream getting back to my feet. Once I get to my feet I begin to doge it’s attacks. I jump back and Run towards it. I punch my arm into the chest. I spin my body around to it’s back and jump. I heard a collective gasp as my arm extends. I turn my right arm into a blade. I come back down, spin, and cut it in half. Tendrils shoot out of my back and stab the brawler. The tendrils drag it to me and I consume it. When it was finished my eyes where wide open. They knew I had no idea what. “Conner. What was that?” Twilight asked scared. “It’s how we evolve fight. Evolve are forward when it comes to attacks. They say ‘we kill, we consume, we become.’ Evolve are like the changlings of my world. Just we’re better at combat and resilience. A changling can get killed by a simple sword slash, but for an evolve we can be obliterated and even if a speck of blood is left we can rebuild ourselves. The only way to kill an evolve is with another evolve.” I say as the party files out of the tree. We are heading to the town hall. I stay behind for a while to gather my thoughts. Why did I show my powers. They must think I’m a monster. Damn it was my body taking over. I walk to the town hall. Still thanking how I could gane there respect and not have them fear me. My powers make me different everywhere. “Come on Sif.” I call to him and he begins to follow. Once I get there ponies keep their distance. They introduce mom and pull on a rope and she wasn’t there. I turn my arm into a blade. A dark smoke swirls where mom was suppose to be. There stud a mare with the smoke for her hair and tail. She had a sword in her hand. Her black dress was sparkling like the night sky. “It’s been a while since I’ve seen your sun loving faces.” She said as everyone one cowered. “What did you do with our princess?” A rainbow maned pegasi yelled. She tried to attack the alicorn, but a orange mare grabs her tail. “Do you not remember me? Does my crown no longer count?” She had a questioning look one her face. “I know who you are. Your the mare in the moon, Nightmare Moon!” Twilight exclaimed. That got a gasp from the crowd. “You know who I am. Then you know why I’m here.” Nightmare crossed her arms. “Your here to... to.” She stumbles over her words. Nightmare laughs maniacally. “Enjoy this this day, for its your last.” She laughs maniacally afterwards. I jump to her and try to hit her. I destroy the balcony instead. “Damn it.” I say disappointedly for missing Nightmare. I see a bright light behind me. I turn and began to fall. I look to the sky and see Sif. I grab him and look down. I was back in the NYZ. I see a building with two people on it. I land on it and see it’s Alex Mercer and James Heller. They look surprised to see me. I only smirk. “I’m gone for fifteen years and the virus is still here.” I say and they look happy. “There is no way your here. I thought you died when blackwatch pumped bloodtox into the school.” Alex said happy. “First I need to scold you two. You killed so many and the virus is still here.” I gain a scowl as they stumble back. “I’m mad because you didn’t put others lives into consideration. How many parents did you kill. How many civilians did you kill to help you kill each other.” I look off the building and see a black watch unit getting hit from all sides. “Let’s help the incident for once. And stop fighting. Where getting those people to safety.” I jump off the building to the group of people. I slam into the ground cracking the ground. Black watch points their guns at me. I place Sif on the ground. They all seem confused on why I have a wolf. In their confusion a walker tries to bite a Black watch soldier. I push him out the way and stab the walker in the chest, then rip it in half. “Stand down, we’re here to help.” I say getting even more confused looks form the group. “We’re?” One of the citizens asked. Alex and James hit the ground hard. They all tense up when they see them. They become less tense when they see us helping them. Once we make it to the evac sight the soldiers had to tell the others that we we’re not hostel anymore. We leave the NYZ and figure out the NYZ was an experiment made by Gentek. The company was soon shutdown. The other news was relations with Pakistan was broken. We were ask to help due to our powers. We trained in boot camp. I became the stealth operator in our team manly using a sniper. I use a M4A1 and my 1911. James was the ‘tank’ of the group so he uses a shotgun and his trusty ten inch knife. Alex was the commando of our group so he uses a M16A1 and a Desert Eagle. Our previous leader was killed and the lead was forwarded to me. I put his dog tag on my 1911. We gained call signs. Mine was ghost for the stealth. James’ Was truck because he hit hard. Alex was Zeus from the first infection in NYZ. Each day I hope I can go back to Equestria. Hopefully I can go back soon. The Middle East is an unforgiving place. The war zones are hard to fight in. I’m the sharp shooter so I find the best vantage point. I’m also the best pilot out of the bunch. So I fly a warbird with Sif at my side. Alex is the best driver sho he drives a humvee. We are sent to restive a strik team. I use the war bird for the civilians and the other two are in the humvee. I get hit by an RPG and the humvee is hit by an IED. What happened next shock me. I was happy I was back... Where I belong.
