-Chapter 1: The Clockwork Jumper-

"Hmm well that's interesting." A boy that has purple eyes with a blue open zip-up hoodie with a shirt inside with the insignia n and jeans with silver hair said while examining a watch, "What's going on it looks like I'm making a jump, but to where?" I thought as the watch kept glowing, "Well wherever I'm going I hope it's a good place, last time I landed in a huge heap of misunderstanding." I said to myself as the rift opened up, "Well let's do this." I said as I smirked jumping into the rift not knowing I would end up in a place with talking colorful ponies and Pegasus and unicorns and how many adventures I would go on.

-In Twilight's Library-

"Spike I need you to run an errand for me if that's okay." Twilight said as the purple dragon walked up, "What do you need twilight?" Spike said, "Well I need you to go to rarity's house and give her this" Twilight said as she handed Spike a note, "I get to go to rarity." Spike said as his eyes turned into hearts, "Well just get it done spike." Twilight said while sighing, 'sometimes I think Spike just wants to hang out with rarity more than me.', "Ok Twilight." Spike said as he left to go to Carousel Boutique.

-In Everfree Forest-

As I landed on the ground I saw I was in some sort of forest. Looking around everything looked….

animated, mind you I was in Naruto's world and other animated worlds but this place felt weird.

"Well at least it's not that bad." I said immediately regretting my words as I heard a growl behind me."I just had to open my mouth." I said getting ready to use my clockwork powers making my right arm glow and making my eyes turn silver.

Quickly turning around I was met with a weird sight," Are those wolves made out of wood?" I said but my instincts immediately kicked in using my clockwork powers I summoned my trusty sword Last Regrets getting ready to fight. The first wolf immediately jumped at me, jumping to my side I dodged the attack and sliced the wolf in half. Looking at the remains I saw something that shocked me' This is weird the wolf is made out of all wood no organs or anything that could make it sentient or even living for that matter how's that even possible' but before I could finish my thought process the 5 other wolves attacked me. Using my sword as a shield I blocked against the multiple attacks 'damn I need to improvise' I said as my eyes started to glow again this time summoning drakar (the weapon that dio gave me)using the newly acquired scythe I started slicing wolves left and right by the end of this all the wolves were laying by my feet .'damn that took longer than expected well whatever the case I need to find my way out of this forest.' I thought walking in no real direction.

-Everfree forest entrance-

"Finally I made it out good god that was long" I said tiredly as I saw the sun was nearly down. Looking around I saw cottage nearby and a town a little bit further down the path. "I should probably check the cottage first" walking up to the cottage I knocked on the door I heard an "eep" coming from inside. "Umm hello is anyone in there I'm looking for some shelter and I'm very lost right now."

Hearing the door open I was met with a yellow pony with wings and had pink hair with what appears to be butterflies on the pony's flank. 'whoever lives here must be an animal caretaker or a crazy scientist who experiments on animals.' I thought looking at the pony with wings

"Hello there is your master home?" The pony looks at me and then does the impossible it started to talk! "Oh what are you and what do you mean by my master." She whispered I could barely hear it had not been for my enhanced hearing.

"Wait a minute…..YOU CAN TALK!" I practically screamed that last part making the pony run away. "Wait a minute I didn't mean to scare you I'm sorry." I said trying to calm her down. "what's your name?" "flutter….shy." she whispered barely, "so your name is fluttershy huh." Fluttershy seemed surprise, "you heard me?" "yeah why?" I asked "It's because no one has ever heard me when I talked like that even my friends." "Well its probably because of my enhanced hearing" I said "Enhanced hearing?" she wondered,

"Oh I will explain about that later(never), so fluttershy can you tell me where I am?" "Oh your in Ponyville." 'Wow a reality of talking ponies this place will be interesting.' I thought, "Oh well if you don't mind I'll be going now sorry about bothering you." I said as I left through the front door. Then I realized I had nowhere to live sheepishly turn around saying "Umm I have nowhere to live mind if I stay with you for a little bit maybe you can give me a tour of the town tomorrow?" I saw her smile "Oh yes you can stay with me."

"Thank you so much I owe you." I said while I was bowing my head. "Where can I sleep?" "Oh you can sleep in the guest room." "Oh ok thanks where is it?" I followed her as she lead me to the guest room. "Here it is if you need anything just ask." "Thank you." I said as I looked through my backpack. "Hmm lets see clothes, hats, forbidden scroll, sonic screwdriver, ah journal there you are" I said grabbing my journal out of my backpack preparing to write about today and going to sleep.

-Next Morning-

I woke up and realized how hungry I am so making my way downstairs towards the kitchen and saw fluttershy. "Oh good morning mister….." "Neo, Neo Strauss but you can just call me Neo no need for the mister." "Oh ok Neo do you want something to eat." To answer her question my belly growled in response blushing "Yes please." "Well since I'm running out of supplies all I have is apples if you want any."

She said handing me an apple 'how did she do that?' I thought seeing as how it would be impossible to hold anything with those hooves 'I'm gonna ask her about that later.'. After I finished eating the apple Fluttershy said "Well are you ready to come with me to town?" "Sure." I said as I stood up as I started to follow her .While we were walking I asked her about ponyville she told me about the mane 6 and how they had the elements of harmony and defeated many enemies using the power of friendship 'so cliché'. My instincts immediately kicked in as I sidestepped to the left and grabbing whatever it was and immediately put it in a chokehold, 'man solid snake and ryu's training really did help' I decided to take a look at what tried to get me. It was another Pegasus like fluttershy except this one was cyan blue and had a rainbow colored mane and tail."So why were you trying to tackle me?" "Let go of me!" "Not until I get my answer." tightening my grip around her neck."Hey wait a minute aren't you rainbow dash?"

"Huh how do you know my name?" "Fluttershy told me a lot about you how you're the fastest flyer in all of equestria right?" I said letting her go "You shouldn't try to do that to me especially if I was at full power and sorry about doing that." She glares at me before saying " Apology accepted I should be sorry too." "Why?" "Well I thought you were going to hurt fluttershy I mean I've never seen your kind before and I was worried." "Well no wonder you're the element of loyalty." I said. 'Oh wait if rainbow dash reacted to me like that who knows how the other ponies will react.' "Umm hold on I need to do something."

I said charging up my clockwork powers "Metamorphasis" I said as my body was encased in the bronze goop I have come to call Icarus seeing as I had to give my power a nickname. "Oh dear what happened?" Fluttershy said worried after I was encased in the bronze goop "I don't know." Rainbow dash replies with a look of concern and suspicion. A few seconds after it shatters revealing my new pony form I was a brown earth pony with a lightish grey for my mane and tail and my cutie mark was gears. "Hmm I kind of look cool sad I couldn't wear my clothes with me." I said examining myself then looking at my pile of clothes,

"Might as well take them with me." I said grabbing my clothes and putting it my backpack which turned into a saddlebag, "Umm who are you?" Rainbow dash said eyeing me suspiciously, "And what did you do to the 'thing'?" "Well I just shape shifted to a pony as to not alert the townsfolk , oh by the way I'm called a human" "Cool how can you do that?" "It's a long story anyways I need to go with fluttershy as she's showing me around this place, shall we get going fluttershy oh by the way in this form call me gear shifter.

" I said looking at her, "Oh yes we need to go nice seeing you again rainbow dash." Fluttershy said waving goodbye to her friend as she left and I followed. "Hmm is there a library here?" I said, "I wanna see if I can read a little bit more into the history of this place.""Oh yes there's a library in the middle of town my friend twilight sparkle lives there." "Well lets go there first if your okay with it?" "Oh that's okay after we go to twilight sparkle I'll show you my other friend's houses." "Sounds good to me."

-Twilight sparkles home-

'Hmm I wonder if I should read a few more books ' twilight thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door, "Spike can you get that?" "Sure twilight." Spike said making his way over to the door. Opening the door he sees fluttershy, "Oh hi fluttershy what are you doing here and who's he?" spike said looking at the brown colt who was looking up at the sky, "Oh fluttershy is he your coltfriend." Spike said teasing fluttershy who was blushing, "Hey fluttershy is it just me or is that grey pegasus' eyes a bit….wierd?" I said looking at the grey pony that was flying in the sky. "Hmm oh hi there dragon what's your name?" I said looking at the purple dragon at the door, "My names spike and your?" spike said extending his claws,

"Gear shifter pleasure to meet you" I said as I shook his claw. "Oh spike is Twilight sparkle here?" Fluttershy asked, "Yeah she's here I'll go get her while I go get her make yourselves comfortable." Spike said as he left to get twilight. Making my way in I see the abundance of books I was about to grab one of the books but a voice interrupted m, "Hello there how may I help you oh hi fluttershy." Said the purple unicorn waving her hoof at fluttershy. "Oh hello there twilight have you met my new friend his name is gear shifter."

Fluttershy said pointing her hoof at me while I was looking for a book. "Oh hello there im twilight sparkle and you must be gear shifter then." She said while extending her hoof towards me. "The one and the only." I said while shaking her hoof I was surprised to feel a low level kinetic energy. 'So that's how they can carry stuff.' "Well then fluttershy has told me lot about you and your friends and how you all have the elements of harmony right?" I said. "Yes" "Well this journeys getting more interesting by the day."

I said. "Journey?" Twilight said with a confused look, "Oh well you see I was travelling around equestria to see the sights and such and I heard about ponyville's famous mane 6 so I thought why not can't wait to meet the rest of the mane 6." I said with excitement in my tone. "Well pinkie pie might enjoy your energy but is that the only reason why you're here?" She asked, "No actually during my journey I lost my book on the history of equestria I was wondering if I could read the book again?" I asked as twilight started to levitate a book towards me, "Here you go." "Thanks" I said as I read through the entire book then returning it to her, "Well I'm done reading that Thanks um fluttershy can we go to umm what's that place called again? Oh yeah Sweet Apple Acres I want to taste their infamous apple pie." I said grinning in delight, "Oh okay we can go there after I get angel bunny his favorite cupcake from sugarcube corner." She said, "Well thanks for visiting fluttershy and nice meeting you gear shifter you are an interesting pony." Twilight said as she waved goodbye to fluttershy and me as we made our way into sugarcube corner.

'Hmm if what twilight said this pinkie pie might be the most interesting pony I will ever see' I thought until I accidentally bumped into someone else, "oh sorry I wasn't looking where I was going." "oh it's not a problem." Said a voice. Looking up I saw another unicorn with red glasses blue 'frizzy' hair(guess who it is)"I haven't seen you before who are you?" said the mystery pony."My name's Gear shifter and you are…?"I said standing up."Oh yeah where are my manners DJ-PON3 at your service" she said grinning wildly."DJ-PON3?... you're a dj?"quite surprised as this place didn't look that technologically advanced."Yep the best kind of dj master of the wubs." She said 'Damn she even used wubs in a sentence that is a hardcore dj' I just now realized that fluttershy was saying something "umm sorry what was that fluttershy…" "Oh um I'm saying that while you were talking to her I manage to get the cupcakes for angel so we can go to sweet apple acres now." She said showing me the cupcake."Ok then let's go see you later DJ-PON3." I said as I was following fluttershy. "Rock on dude!" she said as she left. 'welp time to go to this sweet apple acres place but first let's see if I can tap into my inner thoughts' I thought as I used my other senses to guide myself while following fluttershy.

-Inside Neo Straus's Mind-

"Hey icarus you in there you've been quite for a while are the ponies getting to you" I said while snickering "Shut up I'm trying to comprehend why this world even exists this is like a 7 year olds girls perfect dream it's messing with my head" icarus said as the clockwork-like bird appered to me but differently "umm icarus why are you" "just shut up I don't know why im this small if anything it's probably this worlds species boundaries if it wasn't I would be a whole lot larger and or majestic looking" said the little cartoony clockwork bird (if you need to imagine him just imagine owlowicious but robotic like), "Well that makes sense but wait are our powers are affected by this?" Looking a little bit worried "Sadly, Yes most of our powers are affected and some we won't even be able to obtain for you see this world is shrouded in a weapon barrier that limits anything beyond its technological level so saying that any swords ,spears, and other such melee weapons we can get with ease but weapons like guns ,rifles, we can't obtain no matter how hard we try the only ranged weapons we can get are bows,slingshots, and the other medieval ranged weapons, but other than that your spells seem to work fine and your techniques are still ok, and one final thing did you notice?", said the bird as it finishes his explanation, "Yeah that powerful yet ancient presence that's watching us should we be worried?" "No but I will keep an eye on it I will inform you if there are any drastic changes to that presence now we will talk later it seems you are nearing the end of your journey and the yellow pony seems worried." "Right I'll see you later icarus" I said as I exited my subconscious .

-Sweet Apple Acres Entrance-

Opening my eyes a saw a farm and a very worried pony,"Oh dear what's wrong gear you had your eyes closed the entire trip are you okay?" "Yeah im okay i was just clearing my thoughts so this is the farm?" I said changing the subject,'wouldn't want poe-i mean ponies to find out about icarus' 'Why not?' 'gah when could you enter my thoughts?!' 'don't question it just go with the flow and get back to your conversation.' 'alright then' i thought finishing my quick conversation with icarus and focusing my thoughts on the journey ahead
