Chapter 1
Crash Landing… In a New World I Guess
What would you do if someone offered you anything you could think of? Would you ask for a car? Money? Power? Maybe you would wish to be famous or to live a long life. Some may even ask to be made a god, yeah not me that sounds like way too much work. Well whatever you ask for just make sure you're very and I mean very specific on what you want and mean. I thought I was, I mean I'm not complaining, but let's just say that if you had told me that even half the shit that has happen to me was going to happen then I'd tell you that you were crazy and to fuck off. But I bet you want me to hurry up right? Well let's start at the beginning, that's usually the best place to start.
Wait I forgot to introduce myself! My name is Night Nathaniel Starlight; I'll tell you what I look like later. Anyway on with the story!
It started when me and some of my friends went on a camping trip. I was off taking a walk/hike through the woods when I found an old well. I know wishing wells are bullshit but I thought 'fuck it why not?' after making sure no one was around I started. Now I had thought of what I would wish for, for almost forever and I had it down to the details.
Part one I wanted a new body, I mean I was short not that athletic and legally blind. I didn't want to be Mr. Muscles or every girl's wet dream. I just wanted a good base with toned lean muscles and a nice but not perfect face. Part two super powers. Come on you know you would like to have super powers, everyone does. I thought of all the powers I could think of (mostly from video games, TV shows, and movies), I didn't want to be god-like but maybe just a bit over-powered. But I didn't want to just BAM have powers I wanted to at least kind of earn them you know. So I thought of a book, some powers I would get right off the bat while the others I would have to read to learn, unlock, and control. And last but not least my life. I wanted to have a life full of happiness, love, and adventure.
After thinking and making my wish I threw in a few coins. When nothing happed for a few minutes I shook my head and laughed before walking back to camp, thinking I was an idiot for throwing away good money. I had a great time camping with my friends and by the time it was time to go home I had totally forgotten about the well and my wish.
When I got home I quickly put my camping stuff if the closet and laid down on my bed thankful to be home. I mean I love camping but there's just something about a house you know? Looking at the clock I notice a book sitting on the nightstand that wasn't there when I left. I reached out to grab it but as soon as I touched it I felt a jolt, like a static shock. Then everything started going fuzzy and then black. When I woke up it was dark out, and I felt good no great, better than I'd felt in all my life. I look over and see the book still sitting there. I reach out and hesitantly place my hand on the book and after nothing happened I picked up the book and read the title: "You're New Body, Powers, and You"
'You got to be fucking with me.' I thought as I opened the book. Suddenly there was a flash of light and a small pain in my head as the pain cleared things that I didn't know before started flowing through my mind. Still skeptical I concentrated and suddenly a clone of me appeared next to the bed. The clone and I looked at each other in shock before a crazy looking grin made its way to our faces. I told the clone to go into another room and do something then dispel. It left and after a minute or two I was suddenly hit with the memories of my clone.
"Oh fucking yeah my life just got a lot more fun!" I said to myself with my smile only getting bigger as I began to read more of the book.
Time skip two years later
"Fuck yeah I love flying!" I yell as I fly through the air doing a few loops and spins for the hell of it. "How you doing Morph?" I asked getting a chirping/trilling noise from the little pink blob inside my jacket as a response. "How about you Kilala?" this time getting a happy roar from behind me from the horse-size two tailed fire cat.
I guess I should fill you guys and gals in on what happed over the past two years. Well to sum it up I've changed, a lot. But that doesn't really help you does it? Well let's start with my body. I grew taller going from 5'6" to 5'10", lost nearly all my body fat with lean, toned, flexible muscle taking its place, and got a very nice tan. My hair went from dark brown to black with blue and purple tones like a raven's feathers. My eyes stayed the same, a blue-green color with a golden starburst around the pupil though when I get angry my eyes become blood red with a siltted pupil. My sight, hearing, and sense of smell are above human and I also have another sense. I can, for lack of a better word, feel or sense others around me like their auras or something. This helps a lot since it allows me tell if a person is lying or has ill intentions among other things. My mind also had a complete overhaul, I can think much more clearly now and faster which is great! I also have a small healing factor, healing cuts and other flesh wounds in a few minutes and broken bones in a day or two. As for my look I usually wear a dark hooded light jacket with a star on the back, a tee-shirt, dark blue jeans, and black combat boots. Next are my powers. Oh man I've learned so much like how to control the five basic elements; I can also control lava and make super strong crystals. I can teleport (though no more than a mile or so without a marker), fly at super-sonic speeds, create illusions, and use telekinesis you know moving shit with your mind. I gots the Force bitches! And that's just some of the stuff I've learned.
My life has been great, well except for that three week period that the government was trying to get me but whatever I settled that and got a few jobs out of it to. After about six months or so with practicing with my powers (with a lot of help from my clones) and my body finished changing I decided it was time for a test of sorts. The fact was I didn't want to work at the place I worked anymore but I needed money. I could rob a bank but hurting people that didn't deserve it never sat right with me. I could work for the government but I liked my freedom thank you. That's when I got an insane idea. Go south and steal from the cartel! Now I know what you're thinking, 'Night that's crazy, they'll hunt you down!' and that would be true but thanks to my powers I can alter my appearance so they'll never know it was me. So after "liberating" some money from the cartels and destroying few of their places I came back state-side with more than enough money to make sure me, my family, and my friends were set. When I was done with that I traveled, going to all the places that you see on TV; the great wall, Mt. Everest, and everywhere you else you could think of! It really helped that my powers came with the knowledge of languages. Learned a lot of stuff to like how to surf, snowboard, and even play a few instruments.
Oh y'all probably wondering about Morph and Kilala right? Well in my book it showed me how to make a familiar it's not that hard but it takes a lot of energy and I could only do it once, some spirit/mind link or something, so I had to be careful, but after a year or so could finely do it. So I thought of two that I would like and that would be helpful. And the two I thought of were Morph from the movie Treasure Planet and Kilala from the anime Inuyasha. Morph is a pink floating blob about the size of a baseball with big eyes and a little mouth that can, like his name, morph into other things right down to the very atom. Though he can only grow to the size of a basketball he's cute as hell and completely indestructible, and yes it is totally ok for a guy to think something is cute. Next is Kilala. She's a two tailed fire cat who has two forms. One a cute little kitten and the other a big fierce sabre cat that can breathe fire, fly, and can rip you to shreds. Both are highly intelligent and loyal.
"Hey Kilala how about when we get home I cook us up a couple of big juicy steaks!" I yell back looking over my shoulder to see Kilala's eyes light up and ears perk up as she let out a happy roar.
"And Morph I think there's still some cake left." I said getting a happy trill from the little guy. He loved sweets. As we flew home the clouds became darker and I could hear the distant rumble of thunder.
"Hey Kilala looks like we're going to be going through a storm jump on and get in." I yelled pointing my thumb to the backpack I was wearing. Without effort she landed herself while changing into her kitten form and crawled inside. I stopped and hovered for a moment as I concentrated on making an electrical force-field to protect us from lightning before moving on. As we moved on the winds started to pick up and it started raining, soon after the lightning began.
"Fuck this," I yelled as the winds started to become stronger. I've flown in storms before but this was becoming too much. "Hang on guys I'm landing!" I said as another lightning bolt hit my shield. As we descended more and more lightning started hitting the shield and the winds picked up even more. Suddenly a strong gust of wind sent me tumbling and the lightning was hitting the shields nonstop! With a deafening boom the shield broke and everything went black.
Not sure how long I was out but when I came to I was in a forest… in a tree… upside down…you know its times like this that I hate my life.
"Kilala, Morph, you guys ok?" I called out getting a meow and chirp respectively making me smile, as long as we were fine that's all that mattered. Looking down… well my new down, I saw my leg wrapped up in some vines. Focusing a bit of wind to my hand I shot out a small wind blade, cutting the vines and with a little flip landed on my feet. Only to face plant as a sharp pain shot up my leg.
"Fucking hell!" looking at my legs I saw that my right leg was broken. Crawling over to a nearby tree and leaned against it before shrugging off my pack. "Ok Kilala time to get out, you too Morph." I said letting Kilala out of the pack as Morph came out of my jacket. "Kilala you should go hunt we'll be here for a day or so. Morph looks like its ration bars for us." I told them with Kilala turning into her saber cat form before disappearing into the trees and Morph looking sad and pulling a picture of a cake out of nowhere before comically crying himself into a puddle. "Aw don't be sad Morphy, look I found a chocolate bar." I said holding up a Hershey's bar, which made him happy as he took it and started eating the chocolate bar that was as big as he was. Laughing at his antics I pulled out a ration bar and summoned my book to my hand, looking though it for some type of medical technique/spell or at least something to take away the pain. As it started getting dark we made a fire. My leg was mostly ok but still hurt so I was probably stuck here till tomorrow or the day after.
As the three of us were settling in for the night I heard and felt something or someone moving through the forest. Seeing as I had no clue where I was, I had no idea if they were friendly or not, as far as I knew I could be on some drug running route or something. I flew up into a tree motioning Morph and Kilala to hide before cloaking myself in shadows, blending in with the darkness and waited. But what I saw come into my little camp wasn't some hikers or drug runners or even military personal, it was a pony… an orange coated purple maned pony… with wings.
'Ok… that is a Pegasus… what?' if there was a mind reader nearby all they get from me at that moment would be a busy tone and a voice saying that I was unavailable at the moment and they should try again later.
"Hello? Is anypony here?" the little pony said in a voice I absently noted belonged to a little girl.
'That pony just talked' I thought dumbly as a perfect "What the Fuck?" look was plastered on my face. I quickly regained my thought process, two years with amazing powers makes you very accepting apparently, and decided that the best course of action was to stay put till she left. 'As long as nothing happens everything will be fine.' I decided before hearing a loud growl. 'Fuck my luck.'
I looked over to the other side of the small clearing and saw a giant lion with bat wings and a scorpion tail. 'Well ain't you an ugly bastard' I thought as I looked back at the small pony who was frozen in fear. 'Come on little one don't just stand there run away!' The lion-thing began stalking towards the little pony with a hungry look in its eyes. 'Fuck I can't just watch this.' I thought as I jumped down and sent out a fire ball that exploded on the lion's side.
"Hey you overgrown pussy cat why don't you come at someone that can fight back!" I yelled trying to ignore the pain in my leg as it protested my actions. The big cat let out a roar of pain and anger as it turned its attention to me and lunged. I smiled as I started to speak three words from one of my favorite video games that I was so happy to find in my book. "FUS RO DAH!" I yelled sending the big cat flying through some trees. To my surprise it got up, though just barely. Looking back I saw that the little pony was still there staring at me with awe and a little fear, not wanting to seem like a monster and making a bad impression I reframed from killing the big lion thing. So instead of killing it I thought of a different option, I closed my eyes and concentrated on the words and their meaning 'And the weak shall fear the Thu'um, and flee in Terror.' I opened my eyes staring down the overgrown cat and shouted, "FAAS RU MAAR!" The lion immediately bolted like the demons of hell were after it, to be honest it pretty funny. I turned back to the filly, had just remembered what they were called, and spoke in a soft calm voice. "Hey it's ok I'm not going to hurt you." she looked a little bit more relaxed at that though still cautious which I took as a good sign. "My name is Night, what's your name?"
She looked at me and then at the broken trees that I sent the lion thing through then back at me. I hoped she was thinking about the fact that I saved her from being eaten and not the fact that I caused so much damage. "Scootaloo, my name is Scootaloo."
