Chapter 2: Where Am I again?
I was awaken by a jolt of pain in my ribs. You know that awakeness when you don't actually move but just lay there and listen to what going on around you? Well I was there and I heard voices arounded me. At first they were a jumble of words that made no sense but gradually it began to make some sense. Some female voices with a masculine hint to it said something about putting me in a jail cell or throw me with some 'Diamond Dogs'. One feminine voice was saying that I looked dirty and that I should clean up. Another feminine voice that was hard enough to hear was saying something about wounds and checking if I was ok. Slowly the words then became coherent sentences that I could understand. "Well we don't know what it is, and that usually means that we have to keep a close eye on it" said the feminine male voice.
"Well it is violen', it darn gave me a bruise the size of a hoof on my face" said a Texan female voice. I'm guessing she is the one I slugged. I should have felt sorry but then my body realized that I was awake and I tried to move but my hands were tied. I decided to wait a while before breaking free because I felt like I should hear this. I laid there with me face in the ground and my hands tied behind my back. The three girls where still debating what to do with me. Eventually they were joined by an ecstatic girl who sounded as though she was past the point of an ordinary sugar rush. Her name was Pinkie Pie and she was anything but hostile, making jokes and laughin at ther not really caring if I was bad or good.
"It kinda looks like a monkey with clothes on" was her first comment upon seeing me, "Do monkeys like parties?" I almost laughed at that comment. They kept talking in this time whispered voices.
"Hey girls so what is the weird thing that AppleJack found?" said a voice that sounded nice and intelligent.
"Hey Twi" AppleJack said while everyone said variations "Hey Twilight"
"Hey, am I not important?" said a male childlike voice.
"Sorry Spike but we are preoccupied with bigger matters" said the pompous voice one( the one who thought I needed a bath)
"Well then, let's check my books. Spike get me 'World Guide to Creatures and Beasts' please"
I heard rummaging and them heard a triumphant "Got it!" from the person that was called Spike. I heard pages flipping at high speeds. Then a thud.
"Ok not in there, let's try 'Claws and Teethes'". Some more rummaging, another triumphant cry, more pages flipping rapidly. "Ok not there either, let's try 'Carnivores, Omnivores and Herbivores'". Rummaging, triumphant cry not as loud, flipping pages this time a bit more aggressively. "Not there, let's try 'Equestria's Beasts and Demons'". The pattern repeated more aggressively, just without the triumphant cry. "'The Land and it's Beings'". Again the pattern. I was beginning to wonder when she would give up. After another four more books she finally let out a exasperated sigh and said "Sorry girls, whatever it is it isn't in any of my books, we' ll just have to find out what it is when its awake. How long has it been out?"
"Almost seven hours, I reckon it migh be dead" said Apple Jack. At this I decided to get up because two reasons, one I thought I get a laugh if they were frightened and two because some blood that had come from the broken ribs decided to coming up. I got up and everyone around the cage screamed. I got to my knees and the coughing starte. I coughed for 3 minutes while blood was coming from my mouth at frequent intervals. After the coughing was done I sat on my ass and leaned on one of the sides of the cage, my hands still tied behind my back. I looked around to find ponies. No human beings, just ponies, and some big purple reptile. I closed my eyes thinking I was dreaming but a burst of blood came from my mouth and I started coughing again.
"It's hurt" said the one with the pink mane and yellow fur, moving towards me with caution.
"Don' get to close now, it migh hurt ya" said AppleJack. I thought she had a point but the pony looked determined. She came closer and I realized that she was a pegasus. I closed my eyes again trying to see if I was still dreaming, but I started coughing again, not as severe as the first time. She recoils at the sound but then got enough courage to get close enough to touch me. After the coughing subsided she put her hoof on my ribs, the two broken ones. I winced in pain and she seems to notice. She felt my over ribs to see if those were broken. I stayed perfectly still through all of it. Eventually she withdrew and said "It has a rib cage and it seems that two of his ribs are broken, I could work on them but I don't know if it will refuse or allow it"
"Well let's try talking to it, it seem to understand that Fluttershy was a friend so it must be intelligent." said Twilight. She opened the cage using what I believe to be magic, her horn glowed and the cage door opened. I shook my head and looked again; she was in the cage with her back turned to me. Her horn was still glowing and the cage closed. She turned to look at me still on the ground with my hands tied behind my back. She stood straight up and said in a pleasant tone "Hello, my name is Twilight Sparkle. Can you talk?" She had purple fur and her mane and tail was black with a purple strip running along it. I looked hard and saw a horn that was also purple.
"Yes" I responded in a hoarse voice to everyone surprise. Twilight who was fastest to recover said "What are you?"
"A human"
"What is your name?"
"Marius"
"Are you male of female?"
"Male"
"What is this?" she said while her horned glowed and my sword was levitated toward the cage.
"It is a sword"
"What is it used for?"
"You don't want me to answer that"
"Why would that be?"
"Because you wouldn't like what I will say"
"well say it anyway, I believe we would like to know"
"To put it bluntly, it is used to kill"
After I said that no one move or said anything. Again Twilight recovered and said "Why do you have it?"
"Probably to kill things" said the light blue pon-pegasus. I looked at her, she had light blue fur and a tail and mane were rainbows, I didn't think I would like her.
Twilight came to my defense and said "that can't be true, right?" the last part was directed to me. I looked at her and said "well yes and no"
"Is that a yes or a no?" said the pompous one, she had white fur and a curly purple mane and tail, and she was a unicorn. I said again "Yes and no"
"Well which is it?" said AppleJack obviously confused. I tried to take a deep breath but it ended in a coughing fit, this time not much blood came out. Once it was done I said "A sword is and instrument, depending on the hand that uses it. I could the sword to cut you all into ribbons or I could use it to defend those that are dear to me. Does this answer your question?"
"So you can play a sword like you play a tuba?" said the pink one, she had and dark pink mane and tail that seemed crazy.
"No it can't" I said chuckling at this.
"Well what are you going to do, because it seems to me that you could be very dangerous" said the pompous one with the purple mane and tail. I looked at her with a blank face and she took a step back either from fear or nervousness.
"Well I don't know, that depends on what happens to me now" I said. Twilight looked at me, "Rarity, I thinks it's best we don't try his patients"
"Do you like parties?" said the pink one, who had somehow stuck her head through the bars at the top and appeared in front of me. I started laughing but then it cause more pain and then coughing ensued.
"I'll take that as a yes" she said getting her head out and climbing down. Twilight looked at her and shook her head, "Sorry about that, Pinky Pie is quite energetic" I nodded my head still coughing. She looks at me with a pitiful look and said "Hey, Fluttershy, could you help him out?"
"Oh, certainly or at least il try" she said getting close tome but I backed off scared that sue might use magic.
"Its ok, I won't hurt you" she said in a tone that you would use to soothe animals. I relax then and she worked on me asking AppleJack to get supplies that she needed every once and a while. She was done around ten minutes later. I thanked her and ask the group at large "ok now you know who I am, who are you and where am I?" Twilight looked at everyone and counted of the names "Fluttershy, Rarity, AppleJack, Pinky Pie, Rainbow Dash and Spike. And to answer about where you are, you are in the land of Equestria"
"Where is that?"
"Well Equestria is a continent on what we call Terra"
"Ok" I said feeling pain take its course, " do you know anyway for me to get back home"
"where is your home?"
"On planet earth"
"Never heard of it"
"I thought not"
"Well I might not know of one bit maybe Princess Celestia might know!"
"Who d'at?" I asked but got no response as everyone was looking at Twilight, with puzzled looks in their eyes. AppleJack then asked "Can she really know a way for ... Uh ... Wats your name again?"
"Marius"
"For Marius to return to where he came from?" There were agreed murmurs from the other ponies there. Twilight then spoke over the noise "She might or she might not because I'm sure Marius wants to go home, right?" she looked at me with the last word. I nodded, and she then turned to Spike and said "Spike take a letter, 'dear princess Celestia, it has been pretty quiet here in Ponyville but we have come across a problem. There is a new being among us who is a hueman, he is known as Marius and we were wondering if you knew anyway form Hinton get home. He doesn't seem to belong to this world. Your faithful student Twilight Sparkle'"
"Hey Spike, human is spelled h-u-m-a-n, I think you spelled or wrong" I said looking over his shoulder at what he was writing. Spike corrected his wording and rolled the scroll up, tying it with a red ribbon.
"Hey how long does it take for mail to get there?" I asked Twilight, she answers while packing her things away "Well mail takes about a week but I'm using Spike's fire to transport across the land to the Princess and that takes a couple of minutes." I looked at Spike just as he inhaled a breath and blew out green flames which burnt the rolled the message to ashes. The ashes then became multi-colored dust and then disappeared with the wind.
"Ok" I said," Does this mean I can get out now?". Everyone laughed forgetting that i was still in the cage.
"Ok, AppleJack can you help him with the ropes" Twilight said. AppleJack moved towards me but I said "No need" I untied the rope and gave it to her. She was flabbergasted; I then went up to the cage and broke two of the bars with a swift kick. I walked out to see everyone was amazed; I felt kind of weird and said "You do realize that I could have done this at any time right?"
"How could you ge' out of my rope, I tied it really tight? And I'm the best knotte tier in all uh Ponyville"
I lifted my hands and wiggle my thumbs, she look and them puzzled, "these can help out a lot, they are more flexible than hooves and can bend in many directions."
"They look a lot like my claw-BURP" Spike was saying before the burp interrupted him mid speech. The flames were a green-blue color and they swirled into a rolled scroll. Since I was closest I grabbed it and passed it to Twilight. With her magic she caught it, opened it and began to read a load, " Dear Twilight, I shall be over there immediately. Do not engage it directly, very dangerous. Make sure you kept it down". She looked up at me, I had my sword in hand and I was sitting on a crate that had and apple logo on it.
"Wonder what she means by 'do not engage it directly'" Rainbow dash said with a weary look in my direction, I shrugged and went for an apple I saw lying on the ground. BOOM!
