One stallion has to save all of Equestria from anything, and everything that it holds. Once the gates holding back pony's thoughts break, Shyil has to be there to help. But, how can he battle this sickness, and save everpony else from it too?
I am walking to my best friend Vinyl's house. Me and Octavia are to meet her there to listen to her new Techno track. It is gonna be great. My name is Shyil. I am a Black unicorn with a Black horn and black mane. My eyes are white, though with a red edge on each Iris.
I'm taking the long way to Vinyl's, due to the fact that I just got back from work. I work in the market, selling oranges. Great job, huh?
"Hey, you. Here." A stranger told me, as he passed me a small pouch. The pouch had some writing on its left side. It read, in neat cursive '~Eat These~
"Uhm, I don't thi-" I said to late. The pony was gone.
I shrugged it off as just a random generosity and put the pouch in my right saddlebag. I kept going to Vinyl's house. I didn't have to many more occurrences, besides saying hello to some random acquaintances.
I reached her house soon enough. I waved and said hello to a few of her neighbors. I reached her door and knocked.
Third Person For Descriptive Purposes.
*knock knock*
"What's the password?" The door asked.
"Wubstep?" Shyil answered.
"Correct!" Vinyl answered, as she opened the door.
"Let's wub it up then!" Shyil said with a smile.
"Yeah!" Vinyl said with equal happiness.
Octavia was already there. She seemed to be reading....a Classical music magazine.
Shyil sneaked up behind her, and hugged her.
"Rawr!"
"rahhiiyyyyyyyIt's you Shyil." She yelped, and then deadpanned.
"No, this is obviously Princess Luna." Shyil said with his trademark 'I'm a smart-alack, smile.'
"Okay, okay. Let me read in peace now?" She asked, turning her head upwards towards him.
"But, it's time for wubs." Shyil pouted.
"Oh, yes. Let's get this started then." Octavia said. She, although being a classical artist, loved Vinyl's music.
"Woo. Let's do this!" Vinyl said, popping the record into place, on it's turntable.
The Techno started blaring, with seemingly infinite bass. Shyil heard nothing but the music.
Outside The Town
A dark silhouette prowled through the night. It searched and scavenged everything it could to help it's mission. It headed for Ponyville. It's search was soon going to come to an end.
The Wubcenter Of Ponyville
The music had just ended. It was a four-minute long ultra-fast techno song with intense bass and several drops. It was, in each of their opinions, Awesome!
"I should probably get home now. I need to feed Puddles." Octavia said, talking about her pet kitty.
"Okay, I'll see you later Octavia." Shyil said.
"I think I'll stay here a little longer." He finished.
"Okay, Shyil. I'll see you both later." Octavia said as she left the house.
"Wel-" Shyil's sentence was cut short by a piercing scream. It was just outside the door. It was Octavia.
Shyil had run out of the house, looked at what Octavia had screamed at, Gawked, and pulled her back in. Outside, there was a massive creature that seemed to be made of pure smoke and energy. It was what seemed to be a one-story-tall Puma, with glowing white eyes, and a gigantic set of Glowing White, curved teeth. It had only glanced at the area were they were standing moments ago, after he pulled her in.
The Monster's Mind
I must kill it before its power grows. It must be exterminated, before it overthrows us.
Back In The House
"What happened!?" Vinyl yelled, after seeing Octavia unconscious.
"Keep your voice down!" Shyil said in a harsh whisper.
"Why?" she asked, now whispering also.
"You don't want to know." he simply stated, with a face that demanded her to listen to the comment.
"Stay here." He told Vinyl. "I'll try to get help."
"What?!" She asked, her whisper rising in volume slightly.
"Don't worry. Just be quiet, and Don't. Look. Outside." He clearly stated.
"Okay." She sighed.
Shyil began to open the door slowly. He was greeted with an empty street. He knew better. He inched his head out of the door.
He saw nothing, at first. He turned his head slowly, and was met with the tail end of the giant beast. His eyes widened. He got a great view of its body.
The 'Puma' was seemingly made of pure smoke. Its body shifted and was whisked away by the wind, but never completely taken away. It was searching the town. It seemed as the town was completely empty at the moment.
He wondered what the creature was searching for. He had a mission, though. He slowly crept out of the door, and closed it. He snuck across the street, carefully setting down each hoof. He was watching the monster intensely. He had made it to the edge of the street and was sneaking into a two-way alley.
He stepped on a twig, snapping it into pieces and creating a loud sound. To make matters worse, it was amplified by the quietness of the night.
The 'Puma' lifted its head. It slowly turned, finally taking notice of him. Shyil quickly ran into the alley, and was accompanied by footsteps that sounded like they were moving at incredible speeds! The beast ran into the alley, just after Shyil ran out and around the corner. It ran out onto the street, as Shyil hid behind a cart that had been left out that day.
The monster sniffed the air, and turned to the cart he was behind. Shyil ran as fast as he could, down the street. The 'Puma' pounced. He quickly zig-zagged away from danger. He heard a clamber of movement behind him, and saw that the giant had lifted the cart as though it were nothing, and threw it at him.
Shyil nimbly dodged the flying cart. He jumped to the side, and realized that he was backed into a corner.
Shyil's POV
Oh no! At least it didn't do too much damage.
Oh yeah. I have that pouch.
Monster's POV
I have finally found the target. I am going to enjoy terminating it.
Third Person POV
The beast crept toward Shyil. He simply took out the pouch, and opened it.
Shyil
Shyil opened the pouch, and found that inside, were three transparent, seemingly perfectly round, balls.
'I wonder why that guy wanted me to eat these?' He pondered.
'In the end, it doesn't matter. This is my last meal.' He thought with a smirk.
They had a very fruity taste. The fruit that it tasted like was undecipherable though. It was sweet, not overly-sweet, but sweet. It was a pretty enjoyable final-food.
The monster crept slowly towards it's prey. It noticed it's target open a small pouch and eat it's contents.
'It doesn't matter if you're full of not. It will be just as painful.' the beast thought to itself.
'This should be really hard to explain to Everyone in town, why I've disappeared.....What's this feeling?' Shyil asked himself, as he was experiencing a very new sensation throughout is body.
He felt adrenalin, power, and his senses sharpening. He felt like he could easily escape this beasts clutches. He wouldn't let it know that though.
'Why am I suddenly a battle-planner? It's like I can see everything around me, and how useful it is to me......... This is gonna be fun!' Shyil thought to himself, with a smile.
The best noticed this smile, and decided to speed up his assault.
It lunged at his corner, with precise accuracy. His hunting skills were perfected, and he would not let this slip. What the beast did not know, was that Shyil could simply leap over him now. That's exactly what he did.
Shyil waited until the monster was just mere feet away from him, in mid air, and he leaped over the unsuspecting killer. He sailed above the oversized black mass, and landed on the other side of it. He began to run back into the alley from which they came. He turned his head to see a very large, angry, bloodthirsty, monster on his tail. He rounded the last corner onto the street with Vinyl's house, and saw exactly what he hoped not to see. Vinyl.
"Get back into the house!" Shyil yelled, just as the deadly creature burst around the corner. It saw that he was pushing a white pony with urgency, and decided that this would be fun.
"If I can't break your body yet, I'll break your friend's!" The beast yelled as it lunged for Vinyl.
"NO!" Shyil said, as a Black light enveloped him and the area within about two feet of him. It swirled, and writhed, and pulled the wind around it. It had lightning flashing through it, and pulses of energy. An enormous blast of Black magic shot out of his horn, which was obscured by the Black dome around him. The magic scored a devastating hit on the monsters side. The creature was sent flying, far, far away. Shyll's Black energy evaporated, and his features were now noticeable.
His eyes were glowing a deep Red, and his horn was a blinding White, While his coat seem to be so Black, that if you looked into it, your eyes would get lost. Shyll's new form faded, as did his conscience. He returned to his usual state, and simply passed out.
Vinyl's POV
Shyil was unconscious, and had just saved her life from....Whatever that thing was. She dragged him into the house, and checked him over. He was just a little scratched up, and she was thankful for that. He seemed to be breathing very lightly though. She simply nuzzled his sleeping head while they both lay next to Octavia's sleeping form.
'I'll have to ask them both what happened later.' She thought to herself, as she drifted into sleep.
Twenty Minutes Later
Shyil awoke to Vinyl nuzzling him, Octavia cuddled against Vinyl, and an amazing photo opportunity.
One Snapshot With Vinyl's Camera Later
Vinyl and Octavia awoke to a flashing sight, and a 'chkchvvv' noise. Vinyl recognized this noise and ran to Shyll. Shyll simply held out his work. Vinyl's smile didn't change when she saw the picture, she simply said " Nice shot."
Shyil replied with " There are three. TeeHee." and he showed the photograph to Octavia. Octavia stared at it for a while, and simply stated " Really."
Octavia was the first to come to her senses.
"Shyil. What was that thing?!" She asked, cowering behind the air around her, as though it would leap out any moment.
"That thing won't be going anywhere for a while!" Vinyl jumped in.
"What did you do" Octavia asked.
"Not me, Shyil. He pwnd that monster!" Vinyl yelled
"What?" Octavia asked, turning to Shyil.
"I don't exactly know what happened. I was really angry that that thing was trying to hurt Vinyl, so I attacked it." Shyll said, just as confused as her.
"Doesn't matter. Still awesome!" Vinyl yelled.
There was a rumbling noise outside, and a loud roar. The entire home shook with amazing power.
Monster's POV
'I Will kill that insolent whelp. he thinks that he can take me out with one shot. I WILL MURDER HIM IF I HAVE TO DESTROY THIS PITIFUL TOWN FIRST!'
The enormous beast began to attack a small home, that had lights on inside.
Shyil's POV
That monster was about to demolish a defenseless ponies home. Rage surged through his veins, renewing his energy tenfold. His magic amplified. He had seconds to confirm that this power was not magic, but some other power, before his rampage began.
Shyil opened the door as fast as possible and leaped at the mass of shadows. His back sprouted wings made of writhing White colors. The speed of his flight was amazingly fast. He hit the creature with all his wing's power, his mass, and a boost of speed from his newly acquired powers.
He tackled the beast with his shoulder, tucking his head in and applying full force. This tactic launched the Puma high into the air, and away from the home.
"You will die, you insolent, pestering, insignificant, little beast!" The Puma yelled as it launched its counterattack.
The Puma kept itself on the ground this time, and it sped itself up so much that it knocked Shyil about twenty feet backward. As his body flipped over itself, he was beat by the ground repeatedly making its appearance, taking up his vision and suddenly being replaced by the sky. He righted himself just as the Puma enveloped his vision. He leaped high in the air, and came down with a hoof pouring out energy. His magic mingled with the energy, giving it more power. His hoof, covered in White energy, created a resounding crack as it made contact with the Black beast. The power of the punch was immense. Fueled by his anger, and protectiveness, it pushed the monster into the ground, creating a small crater. The beast growled at him and seemed to have visible anger surrounding it, but before anything could happen, its eyes dilated, and it blew away in the wind. Its remnants scattered about the town.
Shyil's power faded away from him once again, and he once again allowed unconsciousness to grip his mind.
