Just after he was shot in the heart David fall to the ground. He was crying to himself, and mad that he couldn't fight for his friend. 'At least I get to join him...' He thought on his final breath. He closed his eyes, and accepted his fate. 'I know I died a hero, and that my son will take care for his mom.' He thought walking in a tunnel towards the light.
As he walked the light seemed to be moving away from him, as that happened he felt heavy. Heavier, and heavier his body became.'What the?' He closed his eyes, then opened to see an equine.
"Hello!" The equine said.
David jumped back screaming. "W-w-w-what are you? Your a horse!BUT y-you h-h-have wings, and a HORN? Oh man is this hell?Did I go to hell?!"
The large equine laughed for a mear minute. "You are alive, not in your heaven, nor your hell."
"THEN WHERE AN I!?" David asked as he tried to run but was stopped by a force.
"Calm down David, and then I'll explain everything to you." It said.
David stopped panicing seeing that the equine was not trying to hurt him. "O-okay..."
"David Copperfield, you died in a war, and you were brought here to make a new life. Welcome to Equestria, a world filled with magic beyond compair. I am the princess of this land, my name is Celestia. My sister, and I worked hard to get you here so you could have another chance at life seeing how you failed." Celestia said. "Now quick lesson, this world is made with four main races:Unicorns, Pegasi, and Earth ponies. Unicorns can use many types of magic. Pegasi can fly and have control over the weather. Then theres you, an Earth pony, they are often stronger, and hard to knock down. Then there's me, I am an Alicorn. Alicorns are all four races together."
"S-so I am a pony? Great..."
"I picked your race wisely, for one I didn't want you to know not how to fly an-"
"I flew a jet at mock II."
"AND you shouldn't be a unicorn you using magic would lf been too much of a shock on your mind."
"I felt a bullet fly through my heart."
"Look there a few more things I need to explain to you David." Celestia said. "You have a new name here. Your now called by your 'nick' name: Metal Head."
"Can I see what I look like?" Celestia made a mirror appier allowing David to see himself. He was black like the night sky. His mane was yellow, not blond though. On his butt he saw a tattoo. "What's this?"
"Its called a cutie mark. Your tallent is fighting. Thats why it looks like a helmet with a star on it."
"So...where do I go now?"
"Theres a small town called Ponyville. You'll take the next train to it. There you need to look for a unicorn called Twilight Sparkle."
"Then what?"
"Make some friends Metal Head."
David looked down with tears flowing from his eyes."Right...friends..."
"Sorry about your friend, I only had enough to take one."
"Right see you..." He said walking out.
He exited the castle and was met with two guards. Them smiled and led him to a train. He got on and fell asleep.
"GO! Get out of here!"
"Can't leave without you dude!"
"Michael, go, that's an order!"
"I can't do that sir! I don't leave a man behind!"
"Understood, so any ideas?"
"No sir! Right now we are pinned down like dogs on a leash!"
"This broken down house won't protect us forever..."
"Sir we could throw my last grenade?"
"Stop calling me sir Michael, I have a name. I'm David, my men call me MetalHead."
"Sounds like a monster on a game I used to play."
"Yeah...well its nice knowing a nice soilder like you."
The train made a quick stop that woke David. He opened his eyes to see a small town full of multicolored equines. It hurt his eyes looking at all of the ponies so he looked to the ground. He made his way into Ponyville and saw all the houses. 'So much for them living in barns.
Just then he bumped into a white unicorn. "Excuse me your ruffian! These are high quality fire rupies!"
"I-I'm sorry, I am new here."
"Oh! Really a new pony in Ponyville? Sorry about a second ago. My name is Rarity elememt of Generosity."
"Hello, my name is Metal Head."
"Sounds like a monster!"
"Maybe I am!" He said laughing. "Anyways do you know anyone named Twilight Sparkle?"
"You mean anypony, and yes she is my BEST friend!"
"Can you show me where she lives? I was told to talk to her when I entered Ponyville."
"Right away, but after I put these down at my boutique."
'Great a fashionista...' He thought.
After they left Rarity's boutique they left for Twilight's house. David learned she lives in a tree, that's also a library.
Rarity knocked on the door, then a small dragon opened it. "Awww aren't you cute!?" David said mockingly.
"Be glad Rarity is here..."
"Spike dear can we come in Metal Head here needs to talk to Twilight?"
"Metal Head?" Spike asked.
"Yep thats my name I was given. No really..."
They walked in as Spike went upstairs to get Twilight. Rarity sat next to David smiling. "It's not everyday a new pony moves from Canterlot. Why'd you leave?"
"New life...I guess when I got the chance to start over, I took it."
"What did you do?"
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you Rarity. You would think I am crazy!"
"I can see the past, and future David..." Rarity said winking. David started to breath quickly.
"What do you mean...?"
"I know who you really are Metal Head. Trust me, I can keep a secret."
"I died during a war back on earth. I died shortly after my friend did."
"So you really mean you started over...Look I'll keep this in between us."
"Thanks Rarity, maybe I can tell you more later on."
"I would like that, is it alright I call you...Star?"
"Cool a new nick name..." David said right as Twilight entered the room.
"Hello, I'm Twilight Sparkle!"
I had read a fan fic that gave me an idea, and all the credit goes to the auther of "It's a Dangerous Business, Going out Your Door". In it Rarity found out she could see the future, so I added the past to it.
If the auther of the fan fic sees this I thank you for most of the insperation behind this chapter, and maybe future ones.
Please leave a review!
Rarity knows of David's past life, and has promised to keep it secret. Not only that Rarity has given a nick name. Will it stop there, orrrrrr will Rarity fall for this Ex-Human?
