A/N
This chapter get's a tad gruesome. It's also relatively short, due to the actions that occur. Have fun!
----------------------------------------------------------
Alex looked up to Luna. He groaned loudly before planting his hands to his face, before dropping his elbows onto his knees.
"Seriously? A fucking dragon?! Who's head alone is as big as a HOUSE?!" Alex was nearly furious. They expected THAT out of him?! He had barely much of a problem killing Greene, but she was barely as big as a house. The dragon described to him had armor as thick as he was tall, and head as big as a house. I am so fucking fucked now...
Luna gave a sheepish smile.
"I do not doubt your powers, Alex. I'm sure this dragon will not be much of a problem for you."
Alex opened his mouth to reply, but a bright flash stopped him. Celestia appeared again in front of him, accompanied by one black pegasus and a green unicorn. The unicorn had a white lock on her horn, and the black pegasus had the same locks on his wings. Both were muzzled.
Alex looked up from his hands to see a very stern-looking Celestia. He asked with a soft tone.
"Are these them?"
"Yes." Celestia looked at him, proceeding to walk up to him and whisper, "They have done such evil deeds, if your next process requires life, I suggest taking the green one first. She is younger."
Alex nodded, but a little surprised at her. Thought it was true, younger made better, why would she suggest such a thing? He dismissed it, before walking over the green unicorn. Finally... He thought. He will finally be able to satisfy a hunger growing deep within. He grabbed the mare by her neck.
"This is going to hurt." He said. He got an evil gin slapped across his face. "A lot." A looked of fear overtook the green mare as Alex hoisted her into the air. You could hear her muffles screams as Alex simply held her in the air, still a bit unsure about what this was going to do.
He took a shot into the dark, Alex tensed his arm as he began to squeeze the neck of the pony in front of him. He could feel her pulse under his fingers. His face took on a very hateful look as he turned to Celestia and said with a very firm tone.
"You might want to get back, this is going to get very messy."
Celestia looked and him and nodded, very grim on what she was about to witness. She accompanied Luna on the couch he had woken up on across the room, both with fear in their eyes.
Alex let a breath out. Well, here goes nothing. He let out a primal yell as he turn his whole body into the 'slamming' movement, and he quickly brought the green mare down face first into the floor. Alex smiled as he heard the all to familiar sound of bones breaking, and blood beginning to pour out. The virus quickly took act, scanning the very brains he had just smashed to bloody bits. He felts his limbs become shorter, and he looked up to the roof as sharp pains overtook each end of his body. He began to shake violently as all of the unicorns memories came flooding in at once, filling his mind. How to use magic, what spells I can use, I've learned everything.. This is...new... He tried to take a step forward as he noticed he wasn't on his normal two legs anymore. He had become the unicorn.
----------------------------------------------------------
Celestia took a seat next to Luna, after being told to do so. She turned her head to watch Alex. He had the unicorn in the air above him, slowly squirming. She heard Alex let out a primal yell before turning and bringing the unicorns head swiftly to the ground. She looked away as she heard the mare's skull snap and crunch against the floor with a odd crunch. Celestia and Luna both felt a little blood land near and on them. They turned further away in horror. When they turned back, they just caught sight of Alex slowly changing to look exactly as the unicorn he had smashed.
----------------------------------------------------------
He put a hoof to his head and groaned.
"Ow... that really hurt. Now time to try this." He turned his green body towards the black pegasus, and leaned in a bit to point his horn directly at the stallion. A green flash came out, shocking the stallion with a loud Pop! He grinned. He again felt the all too familiar sensation of switching back to a human as his limbs got longer, and his clothes came back to view.
He looked back to see a horrified and blood-covered pair of alicorns. He gave an evil grin. He channeled the unicorn's magic powers through his body. A black and red horn began to slide out of the front of his head. He smiled to himself. Perfect. It works. His gaze averted from the horrified pair, back to the black pegasus.
"Your turn, buddy." The look of fear overcame the stallion, he instantly began retreating backwards, only to be halted by a black aura surrounding his legs. Alex walked up to the poor pony, and gripped him by the neck. About to preform the same action. When he thought to himself, Why not put on a show? This will be fun, and the pegasus will get to.... fly... one last time. Alex chuckled, as the hand on the stallions neck slowly turned into his whipfist. Alex extended the fist to a great length, before proceeding to throw the poor thing into the air, and swing it down with all the force he could. He heard the sound of the pegasus bones breaking on the floor, showering the room with blood and bits of pony. Again absorbing the pony, and taking on his form, Alex switched to his human form.
He turned back to a now clean pair of alicorns, with a blood-coated white barrier surrounding them. He smirked and watched as their expressions grew grim and afraid again as he channeled the pegasus power through him, extending a ten foot black and red bat-like wing in each direction, laugh maniacally.
"This is great! I have never felt so alive! Such power... This is amazing!" He turned to Celestia, and walked over to her.
"Sorry for the mess, but it's mandatory."
Celestia only nodded. She was going to say something, but it had escaped her.
"So, two questions. Can I go back to Ponyville, and when is this dragon coming?"
Celstia was still at a loss, so Luna had answered for her.
"The dragon will come in three days time. For now, go back and converse with the Elements of Harmony. They will be assisting you in killing the dragon."
Alex search the two ponies' memories he had consumed. Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash.... Damn it's good being me. He grinned and agreed. He shot a look towards the pair again, with an evil look lurking deep within, he said.
"Thanks." He extended his wings, and immediately flew out the window, heading straight for Ponyville with blinding speed.
I know he's not quite inherently evil... but sometimes I wonder what's going on in that head of his. Whoa wait... what if he absorbs a dragon... *pupils shrink* ok never thinking that again.

I don't think Alex would really be upset by the fact that he had to kill something, no matter what it would be. Remember; Alex Mercer is gone. There is only the Blacklight virus.
Other than that, this story is awesome.
BY GAWD So now he aint just the shape shifting murder machine .. BUT a shapeshiting murder machine with MAGIC AND WINGS?!
Would like to have the next chapter by.. About five minutes ago please
Damn. You. Are. Awesome

Well, this is my first time really writing using a character I did not create. This is only my second fic, and I'm having a bit of mental trouble correctly grasping the personalities of the characters. Thanks for the criticism though, I'll see if I can get him any better within the next few chapters.

But I wanna go have a liiiiiife!

Thanks, much appreciated.
Alex Mercer. Shows no mercy .

Alright, cool. In this chapter I don't think Alex would be scared of a dragon. He was hit with a nuke that reduced him to a few cells after all, and I sincerely doubt that the dragon could must up something as powerful as that. If anything he would be relishing the thought of a fight among relative equals, but he could just not like pain and think that the dragon could really cause some damage. I still think Alex is too talkative and timid but, hey rookie writer and all. Also, I'm fairly sure you haven't read the prequel comics for Prototype 2 yet so I don't think you know what Alex becomes after Prototype 1, and as such you won't know his character after Prototype 1. In Prototype, Alex showed signs of becoming nicer, however he did not become in the least.
The story does show promise so I'll be tracking it.
452683 NO LIFE FOR YOU
LYRA NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
You will be missed among this story
Jaytee please don't say you will kill Derpy Hooves, she is all i have left of my favorites
452774 I don't think that was Lyra, dude
She doesn't seem the type to go about committing crimes.
As for Alex Mercer, now I imagine his horn to be almost similar to his blade arm or one of his claws, but shorter. I expected the wings to be spikey/boney, but they're good nonetheless. Keep up the good work, JT

WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA, HOLD UP THERE BUDDY, and calm down. My brain is going to explode due to pure awesome-ness if you do 3 chapters in 1 day, so don't wr- (he's lying, write the chapter and make him happ-) go away evil me!
454329
Unfortunately, I've only half-written it before Captain Procrastination got the best of me. My bad.
454368
Phew, I thought I was going to explode, many thanks sir awesome
Yeah, I've got the most awesome picture of Alicorn Mercer in my head and I can't get rid of it.
KISS ME!!
I knew this was going to be very good, but you nailed everything about mercer. The horn growing out of his forehead part was kinda weird, but i can get over it. This is really amazing.
Very interesting... Prepare for wall of text.
First the characters.
Princess Celestia acts a bit OOC, yknow all that charging and hatred, but thats KINDA acceptable with all that bad experiences business. Kinda . You should make her more loving and caring. Also, more afraid of Alex. In most BiE (stands for Badass in Equestria ) fics she is terrified and tends to imprison the character.
Now, princess Luna... i think she should be more shy and stuff, i dont have much more to say. That invite-strongest-being-to-equestria business seems a bit... off.
Then the mane 6
http://www.fimfiction.net/story/17259/4 i think you should look into this story a bit, Twilight is written very well in it imo.
And finally Alex. I cent really tell how IC he is, as i have never played the game, but the character youre creating doesnt fit. Make him less evil and more human. Make him love fluttershy or something
Thats about it.... I dont know much about building story arcs so i cant give any advice about that.
Over all i like this fic. Favorited
TL:DR: Fuck you, read my text wall.
454932
Thing is with Alex is he isn't human so you can't make him more human
If you haven't played the games I won't spoil it, but he's not human.
454932 Alex is supposed to be a lean mean killing machine with absolutely NO conscience, so that he can kill and not be devastated. He is pretty much IC All the Bucking time in this story. He ain't human, and never will be. Always and forever evil <3
~Fyre
SOMEONE NEEDS TO DRAW ALEX MERCER WITH HORN AND WINGS!!!
BADASS STATUS ACTIVAAATE!!!
452583 then god help us if that happen... oh yeah and there will be lots of blood.i approve of these thoughts
How does he go from TIMID and compassionate in one chapter, and full on murderous psycho in the next????
