The Bronze Wall

Hello, everyone- (It's everypony...) *Ahem* I mean, hello everypony, I would like to say that this is my first MLP Fanfiction thing ever, so... *Circus Barker voice* Lad- *Ahem* I mean, Fillies and Gentlecolts, children of all ages *Behind hand* So long as they're teens... *no hand* Step right up, to a place where you will never feel out of place, a place where we can all be ourself, a place we call home... *With flourish* EQUESTRIA!


I lay in a field, unconscious, dead to the world. Wait, I am also laying on the peak of a mountain? How!?

Welcome, Commander.

I wake to see nothing but snow and rock.

"Great." I growl, "Stuck on an unknown planet, on a mountain, nowhere to go. Argh!".

I stomp my hoof, sending a shockwave through the mountain, flattening it. Wait, hoof? I look at myself, seeing that I, indeed have hooves, and a yellow-bronze coat. I also have a mark on my flank, A castle turret, with a sun and moon over it. Curious.

Willkommen, Kommandant.

"Mien head." I groaned before opening my eyes to see a pair of magenta eyes looking at me.

I yelped.

"Hey, you took a pretty nasty fall there, are you alright?" The mare said to me. Wait, mare? It does seem to be of an equine origin. However it has a rainbow mane and wings. I should check myself later. Also, it- she, rather, seems to have asked me a question.

"Y-" Is all I got out before it struck me. This is my chance to start over, might as well make fiends.

"Hey, you alive, I mean, my awesomeness is known to cause heart attacks an-"

"Yes, I'm fine." I said, cutting off the rainbow-maned mare.

"Good, now what's your name?" Said the mare.

"The Doktor" I said, while I realized that she was on top of me. I rather liked the sensation, so I decided to not bring it up. "What's your name?"

"Rainbow Dash." She said, with a look like I should be in awe.

"Who?" I asked.

"Rainbow Dash, only the fastest flier in Equestria, the only pony to perform a sonic rainboom." She stated, rather proudly.

"So that's what you call this place, Equestria?" I asked.

"Yes." Rainbow Dash said, looking confused, "Why wouldn't you know that?"

"I'm not from around here." I said, ashamed for some reason.

"So you're from Bearlin or something?"

"No, I'm from a different planet, or universe." I said, uncertain.

"Well, which is it?"

"I don't know, however, my form seems to have shifted from that of a human to a small equine of some sort, a pony if you will, and that would mean that I would have had to have crossed into a different universe, one in which an equine form was the only one possible." I said, then I saw the bored look on the pony's face.

She yawned "You and Twilight would get along very well." She said.

I cringed at the name, thinking of vampires and werewolves. "Twilight? Is this a per-, pony you know?"

"Yeah." She said. "I could show you the way there if you want."

"That would be delightful." I answered.

She got off of me, which made me inexplicably sad.

Already having feelings for a pony you don't know?

So we walked, she offered to fly us, but I declined, not trusting the sky.

"What's wrong, get attacked by birds at home or something?" Rainbow Dash asked, looking confused.

"Something like that..."


April 30th, 1945

Berlin.

Bombs rained overhead from the Red Army's planes, while gunshots and artillery could be heard from inside the bunker. A woman had her arms wrapped around a bundle of cloth, inside the cloth was a baby.

"I't going to be ok, the bad men will go soon." She said as she tried to calm the crying baby.

The door to the bunker then bursted open, revealing a man in a brown uniform holding a pistol.

"Иди к черту, немецкие подонки!" He shouted, shooting the woman in the head.

The child cried, and the man came over, pointing his gun at the child. The man couldn't harm a child, intentionally.

He sighed. "Okay, small child, you go to base with me."

He picked up the child, and took him to camp.

*Fast forward*

It was a routine mission, fly over possible locations of US installations, get photographs, report to base, come home.

"We're going to crash!" The pilot said, getting a parachute on.

My dad helped everyone get off the plane before donning his own, but by then it was too late. He went down with the plane.


"Hey, you in there?" Said Rainbow Dash, waving a hoof in front of my face, looking concerned.

"Yeah..."

"Good, cause we need to get moving before nightfall." The rainbow mare said, gesturing to the setting sun, then pointing to a city in the distance. "That's Ponyville, come on!"

So we ran, me easily outpacing her on the ground, but we were neck and neck when she started flying.

She looked so beautiful when she flew.

We soon arrived at what seemed to be a normal, if somewhat cartoonish town.

"See that tree" Rainbow Dash asked.

I nodded dumbly, trying to process how a house could be in a tree.

"That's where Twilight lives, race ya!" She said, zooming off, leaving a rainbow trail behind.

"It's on." I said, before zooming off to catch up.

Needless to say, she won, but only by a second.

"Let me do the talking." The rainbow-maned pegasus said, with a smug smile from winning.

She knocked, and we waited. Eventually we were greeted by an owl, of all things, and were ushered in.

"Who?" Who'd the owl.

"We need to see Twilight." Rainbow Dash said.

And with that, the owl went to fetch it's master.

"Hey Dash, what's up?" Said a lavender unicorn, with a smile.

"I have someone here who I would like you to meet." Rainbow Dash said.

"Who?" The unicorn, who I guessed was Twilight, asked excitedly.

I walked out from behind Rainbow Dash, who, I just now noticed, was taller than me.

"Aww, he's so cute." Twilight said, immediately coming over to me and patting my head.

Rainbow Dash made gagging noises and pointed to her open mouth. Strange, they act like humans do. Need to investigate further.

"So what brings you here, little guy?" She asked, still patting my head.

I looked at Rainbow Dash, and hoped that she would explain.

"He's from another universe." Rainbow Dash answered.

Twilight's demeanor changed immediately, and she pulled all sort of scientific machines out of nowhere and started attaching them to me.

"Um, Fraulein?" I asked.

"Yes?" She replied, not looking up from the clipboard that she held in some sort of magical-looking field.

"What are these machines for?" I questioned.

"Just to check all your vitals." She said, as if it were the most normal thing to do.

A couple minutes passed, and then Twilight looked up at me.

"Everything seems to check out, except one..." She said, as if she were diagnosing me with cancer. Wait, I don't have cancer, do I!?

"What!?" I asked, nervous as heck.

"Well,... you seem to only have half a soul." She said. "But that could just be that my machines are off."

"Well I'm glad it wasn't anything serio- HALF A SOUL!?" I asked, the ending was more shock than question, however.

"As I said, my instruments could have been off, I mean there was this earthquake earlier, but I recalibrated them, so, yeah, you have half a soul." She rambled.

"Can you locate the other half, Fraulein?" I asked.

"Yes, but it's late, and I'm tired." She said, gesturing to the window, which showed that it was black as pitch outside.

"Indeed." I replied.

"So, you should probably get some rest. You're welcome to stay." She said.

"Hey, I hear that Vinyl Scratch is having an awesome party tonight, wanna come with?" Rainbow Dash counteroffered.

"Can I?" I found myself asking Twilight.

She just looked at me, confused. "Sure."

"Let's go then!" exclaimed Rainbow Dash.
