A/N (Before we begin this will be in past pretense up until a certain point and will be viewed in a first person view all the while I try to keep my sanity with the errors and problems I come across. Also this will be a more mature version of the TV. Show and an example would be that even the mane six and spike will be cussing and making jokes that will be more or less sexual. EX.

Act: 1

Chapter 1: prologue

There are things in life that you don't expect in life. For example when you're jogging and you trip because your shoe laces untied themselves, Or your credit card being declined because you forgot to pay the bill. The point is that there are things in life we would never expect.

My name is Devin and this is my story and what happens when your dreams become a reality. But before we go to what happened I should tell you a bit about myself. My full name is Devin A. Ballard but my closest friends call me Razor because of my love for knives and swords and the like. My full nickname that I thought about and my friends thought were pretty cool would be 'Razor Volt Fury' I have long dirty blonde hair that almost looks brownish black thanks to the hair dye I've put in it before that is washing away, my hair is down to my shoulder blades in length. I tend to where my favorite hat which has the word "releaf" but I where it to cover my horrible hair which is in a ponytail most of the time. Then I where my forest green camouflage bandanna tied around my right wrist and an arctic blue camouflage bandanna on my left wrist. The green bandanna is what I where most of the time, it's basically my good luck charm and a gift from an old friend.

Anyways I'm usually wearing a black sleeveless muscle shirt with a red button up shirt with a black dragon on it and silver flames on the back of it, unbuttoned to show the shirt underneath. Then my favorite pair of black cargo pants loaded with pockets to carry all of my stuff like my black leather chain wallet, deck box with yu-gi-oh cards in it, my Nintendo DS lite with my Pokémon black 2 and a couple of other games, my phone which has all of my music on it and has white skull candy ear buds plugged into it, my tablet which has all of my 'special stuff' on it (if you know what I mean) along with all of my reading material saved onto it thanks to the app called "fanfiction reader", then I have my charger for my phone and tablet, my pocket knife (for self defense), a couple packs of cigarettes( just in case I lose a pack or I run out of one pack I always have 2 more with me) And finally I wear some basic black combat boots with zippers on the inside of each foot.

Though I may look different, almost like a rebel I am actually quite tame and shy, at least most people say that anyways, though I am quite upbeat and fun to hang out with when I get to know the person I am hanging out with and it doesn't take much to earn my trust which is my downfall most of the time because people often end up using me in some way, shape, or form just to get further in life. I was beaten by my father when I was little so usually when I feel threatened I just take it and move on, but when anyone I care about gets hurt or threatened I tend to be "overprotective" as my friends say. I am around 5'11 and have a light build. Though I feel I never need to fight unless I have no choice which isn't very often, and then there is Kody Holt or 'sushi' as everyone calls him. He is quite the smart ass and gets into trouble a lot but he is the best friend anyone could ask for, he has your back when you need it and is as honest as can be. I am honestly lucky as can be to even find him let alone become best friends with him.

But before we ever met I was very lonely and depressed, I had almost no friends. No one ever wanted to talk to me, hang out, or anything. But then I met him slowly but surely made more and more and even more friends. And this is the beginning of the most interesting story you will ever come across…

This was the first day of 10th grade and I was happy, I was supposed to be going to this small town of canton, North Carolina and I was finally starting at this place called "job link" or the alternative learning center where people learn and catch up to the rest of the schools. I on the other hand: had no idea what to do about not having a schedule. See the school lets the students work at their own pace; the faster you get your work down the faster you graduate.

"What am I supposed to do all day?" I said to myself as I sat in a chair being bored out of my mind, I had already completed the work I wanted to get done today, since I had all the time in the school day. Getting up and walking to the end of the room, I begin to walk out while saying "I'm getting something to eat! Be right back." It was still breakfast time and I haven't had anything to eat as of today. I walked down the short hall of the school and went to the right, entering the student lounge. The school is small, the max of about 200 students go to this place. I grabbed a plastic spoon from the closet to the left and some cereal and milk from the student fridge before sitting down at the table and then I thought to myself. 'Almost forgot a bowl.' I quickly grabbed a Styrofoam bowl from the closet and walked back to the table in the middle of the room before pouring a bowl of cereal and begin to eat. When I was finished I cleaned up after myself and began to walk out of the room before I walked back down the hall the way I came and walked into the classroom and sat down. But soon a silence filled the air. I turned to look behind me and saw one of the teachers, MR. Wells walking into the room and looked at me before walking back out. I slowly get up, wanting to see what was going on and find out why the school was so quiet all of the sudden when not just five minutes ago I could hear the laughter and chatter of the students in the classrooms near mine and the students in the hall. I look around the corner into the hall to see it barren of any students but school supplies littered the school floors and the only person I saw was Mr. Wells and he is walking towards the student lounge. But when I looked at the walls of the halls, it looked like they were darkening. the walls where fading to a grey color, like graphite in a pencil. Soon the lines from the papers and the letters spelling "welcome to HCLC" faded into the grey and I could no longer see… and I blacked out.

~unknown time or place~

I don't know how long I was unconscious, a few hours is what I was thinking. Everything was blurry and I kept fading in and out of consciousness, and I kept hearing these strange noises and voices but I couldn't understand what they were saying. After fading in and out of my own mind, I finally came the land of the living in a much unexpected place that had to many vibrant colors.

The color hurt's my eyes…

After a few minutes I slowly raise off the ground even though my body was begging me to stop and go back to sleep. But I needed to find out where I was. I looked around to find I was surrounded by several tree's that All looked like they were going to kill me. As soon I was aware and calm enough I looked at the ground closely to see if there was a trail around me but I was wrong, and with how thick the trees are I can't tell if its day time or night time either. The air was thick and damp like a swamp. Either way I have to move before something comes and eats me as a snack though I doubt I would taste very good with all of these clothes. I began to walk north. How did I know? Well I know that moss grew to the north if it was on a tree so I simply put two and two together, thinking it was a good idea at the time. As I'm walking I have this faint feeling of being watched though it was all around me. After about a half an hour of walking I soon noticed a very strong smell hitting my nose and I almost puked. The smell was disgusting! And the next thing I knew I was surrounded by these wolf like things but they weren't actually wolves…it was like they were actually made of wood or something. Then I realized that the smell was coming from the wolf like things. I cringed at the smell as it got stronger the closer they got, but as soon as they were close enough I looked around myself and noticed that they were different sizes and the smallest one was around maybe three ½ foot tall to almost four foot tall. And before I knew it the smallest one jolted forward to attack, I rolled under it with practiced ease but afterwards I get rammed by the biggest and that's the one that scared me the most. It was about a foot taller than me...maybe 7 feet tall and looked like it was covered in battle scars. As soon as I was rammed I was slammed right into a tree, I yelled in pain as soon as I hit the tree, my left arm let out a snapping sound and as soon as the burning pain flashes kicked in I screamed loudly, louder than I ever have before. I knew this was the end since I was already weak when I woke up but this pain never felt more unbearable. I kept screaming and screaming in pain and agony but after a few seconds I felt a pressure on my rib cage right before I heard some cracking noises as my ribcage collapsed and the oxygen was forced out of my lungs and I began coughing and hacking. The pressure was removed and I rolled onto my right side and coughed while I was trying to breath, blood spraying from my mouth as I coughed onto the grassy ground beneath me.

The world was starting to go dark and all I could make out was a few blurs and a rainbow color. I started to hear my heart in my ears and it was going at a slow pace and everything went black, but not before I could force the words "help me…" out of my lungs and then pass out.

Place: Dream realm

Time: unknown

As soon as I open my eyes all I can see is white, not even a hint of any corners around me Almost as if I'm in outer space but it's pure white with no other color to it.

"What the fuck is going on? Am I dead?!" I yell as loud as I can right before I hear my voice echo all around me.

"No, you are not dead, in fact this is as close to death you are going to get as far as I can see." A mysterious voice said, the voice echoing all around me.

"Who's there?!" I called out as paranoia set in my mind.

"My name is astral justice, and his is my faithful companion, blaze." The voice said. I turned around to see a strange pony with a flaming bird on its head. I looked at it dumbstruck. Before blinking rapidly and began to rub my eyes. "That isn't going to help at all you know" he said as he lifted his hoof and somehow pinched the bridge of his nose with a small sigh of annoyance as I looked at him in a strange way.

"Listen, what I am about to tell you is very important to your survival alright? You need to know that you will never be alone in this new unexplainable world and to be honest I will tell you now that they will be expecting you to answer their questions when you wake up which shouldn't be long now just be warned, don't tell them where you are from until you know it's the right time but be careful they won't take it well…do you understand?" he said rapidly as I looked at him with wide eyes. I nodded because I had no idea what he was talking about but decided to go with it right before everything started to go dark.

He raised his hoof to catch my attention. "Also, one more thing? Do be careful with them, they may be tough but they are all still-"Everything went black and I yelled loudly. "They are still what?!" right before I realized my eyes were closed once again and I made them open quickly but as soon as I did I regretted it as a bunch of new bright and painful colors hit my eyes full force and I groaned as I quickly closed them again. The pain from what happened that I could last remember hitting me like a semi. I soon realized that the room was white but I could tell that there were walls this time…almost like a hospital? I slowly but surely opened my eyes once more, trying to get used to the colors that were bright and painful.

"Where am I…?" I mumbled as I looked around the room, not seeing much but white walls, a night stand to the left of the bed I am in, a few small decorations here and there around me. To the right was a window but the curtains covered it making it impossible to see what time of day it is. All I can do is wonder what happened...
