Iv'e spent... i dont know how many years in this metal box since they buried me. A box exactly 3.35m high and 2.17m wide. Humanity was going to hell so they decided that they would store all known knowledge inside me. Ofcourse during all these years some files has become corrupted and lost forever but i dont care. I dont expect to find any intelligent creature on the surface to pass this knowledge on to anyway. But what do i know... im just waiting for someone to dig me up. "Hey i think iv'e found something!" Huh? voices? After all this time? I must be hearing things. "You found a metal box? So what?" "But look at the size of this thing! There's gotta be something valuable in there!" "And what makes you think that?" "It's like a treasure chest!" "No it's not! It's just a metal box! Just a big rusty metal box!"
"Im going to open it."
"And how do plan on doing that? huh? huh?"
"There's a hatch here. I just need to open it."
"Knock yourself out it's rusted shut. You wont be able to open it no matter how much you pull."
"I think you are underestimating my strenght."
"If anything im overestimating it."
"Bah you just do-"
The conversation was cut short when i with all my strenght bashed the hatch open and saw the sun for the first time in over 2000 years. After getting my eyes used to the sunlight i noticed two small ponies standing next to the box with their jaws hanging and their eyes wide open.
"What?" i said trying to sound as cool as possible.
Let's just say that they were long gone before i even had a chance of asking what year it was.

Over at Ponyville Twilight was inside Mr. and Mrs. Cakes bakery. As usual Pinkie Pie was busy baking but Twilight didn't mind waiting. Infact she quite enjoyed it with the smell of delicious cupcakes and muffins.
"Im coming now!" Pinkie yelled from the back of the bakery.
Out from the the kitchen came Pinkie Pie with flour and dough in her hair and face. Twilight had a hard time holding back the laughter.
"Pinkie Pie you look like you brought the whole cake out with you. Why dont you go and wash up?"
"Aww a little uncleanliness never hurt anyone."
"It's going to hurt when we have to pull that dough out of your hair."
"Geez fine but then we have to-"
"A MONSTER!" they heard a voice scream out on the street.
Twilight and Pinkie Pie went outside to find two ponies standing in the middle of the street screaming about a monster. Twilight approached the orange ponie with a shovel as his cutie mark.
"Just calm down and explain what happened."
The other pony a red one with what looked like a mountain as his cutie mark started talking.
"Well my idiot friend here found an old metal box in the ground and decided it would be fun to open it!"
"Hey! How was i supposed to know that a monster would come out of it?" The orange pony responded.
Twilight interupted them before they started argue.
"What kind of monster? Can you describe it?"
The red pony started talking.
"Well it was big! At least two or three meters and it had a metal mask with green glass eyes on it's face! Oh and it was standing on it's hind legs! I also remember that it had a black shirt with a brown worn out coat that reached down to his hooves at least i think he had hooves i could'nt see. It was..."
"MONSTROUS" screamed the orange pony.
"Yes what he said!"
Twilight just looked at them.
"What?" said the red pony.
"This just seems a little far-fetched."
"Oh you dont belive us? We can show you! Right Dig Dug?" "No way man! Im not going back there!" said the orange pony now sitting in fetal position. The big red pony let out a sigh.
"Fine i'll show e'm myself then!"
"You coming Pinkie Pie?" Twilight asked.
"Nope now that i think about it i still have some very special cupcakes i was going to make for Rainbow Dash!"
And just like that Pinkie Pie was gone like the wind.
"You ready to go?" the red pony asked.
"Yea im ready" Twilight said still puzzled over Pinkie Pies hurry.
"Oh and you can call me Climber."

I may have spent most of my time in the ground but i knew that sooner or later those guys were going to come back in front of a mob with pitchforks and torches. At least that's what my knowledge in the medieval ages told me would happen. I reached down in the box to get my equipment. A rusty rifle with a broken scope, ammo and some spare parts (for me not the rifle) also a machete. I could see a forrest not far from my spot it was my best option for tactical cover as i was in the middle of a field. I ran to the closest tree and climbed up. From there i could see the box and the rest of the field perfectly. I went into standby mode for a couple of hours until my sound sensors started picking up sounds. I woke up and managed to figure out that the "sounds" were actualy voices. Two ponies was standing next to my box talking. I couldn't quite hear what they were saying but they were clearly talking about me. I recognized the red one but the purple one was new, perhaps it was some kind of authority. This was not good! If the goverment or whatever they had here found out about me only bad things would happen. The only way to ensure my safety was to get rid of them both and then hide the box. I loaded the and looked through the scope. I couldn't belive my eye's! The purple pony was actualy lifting the box out of the hole without even touching it! It was time to act! I took aim and fired. The bullet went way wrong and instead of hitting the pony it hit the box, tearing a huge hole on both sides of it. The purple pony dropped the box in suprise and both ponies started to run for the town. I reloaded and took aim again. The bullet hit the ground at least eight meters away from the purple pony. It was at this point i started thinking that the scope could use some adjustment.
