Chapter 1: Falling to Paradise

The planet Tierra, a world much like our Earth. With advanced technologies and a reign of peace between the different continents life seemed good for civilians in the largely populated areas. but not all was perfect. At this time a wolf, powered by the negative influences of nature, attempts to overthrow the humans of this world and make himself and all animal kind the supreme rulers of this world.

Our story takes place in the midst of one of the largest battles in this conflict.

The air was full of smoke, dust and fire as bullets zipped through it. The war raging between the Military Forces of Defense and the invading Lupine army was possibly the bloodiest this planet had ever seen. This was not the first.

"GET BACK! A squad of ruffians is heading north at an increasing pace!." The leader of the Atomic Squadron yelled out. His name was Adam Splice. He was a young man in his mid 20s, and he had many encounters such as the one he was facing now. The rest were but small adventures he took when he was a teenager. At that time the lupine army was much smaller and no where near as powerful as it was now. "Look out! (bang) NO! CRAP!" Adam yelled out watching almost 20 soldiers from the MFD get blown back by shells and increasing ambushes. "DAMN! I guess we have no choice. EVERYONE RETREAT!" He hated to do this, especially when going against the Lupine armies.

His squad ran back to their carrier and all other forces of the MFD left to their own transports. Adam fell behind as three massive wolves jumped in front of them. Each of them was dirty and had a bad case of rabies. They had mechanical parts added to them for increased performance in combat. Adam looked at each them then looked down at a pair of weapons that he wore on his hands. A pair of gloves that improved his upper body strength, flexibility, hand-eye coordination, and agility. The wolf on the left pounced at him with great force and caused Adam to land on his back.

'Damn..."Adam said to himself. "First we had to retreat... and now this Bullshit! It was... a lot easier back in the day." Adam lifted the wolf off of him and threw it at one of the others. Then the last one still standing pounced at him, but with better warning Adam dodged the attack and punched the daylights out of the wolf. The wolf was sent flying and the other two behind Adam were getting ready to attack again. Adam looked and saw that most of the MFD troops were already long gone. Realizing he couldn't escape, Adam became enraged. "YOU LITTLE SONS OF-!" He stopped when he was interrupted by a dark voice that came from his side. He looked to his left and saw an anthropomorphic black wolf with piercing red eyes glaring at him.

"Nah-ah Mr. Splice, don't run off. You two, heel!" The black wolf commanded the two troops. They sat and bowed to their leader. Adam gave a confused look towards the wolf. "What is it Mr. Splice? Don't you recognize me?" The wolf asked him.

Adam shook his head "Sorry. My mind must've slipped." Adam said sarcastically. "If you're trying to make a good first impression then you did crappy job. Who are you ?"

The black wolf at least had the courtesy to bow. "I'm Anio, the black wolf. I am the true commander of nature, and I'm here to wipe this cursed planet of all that is human!" He explained. "I remember you from many years ago." Anio looked up at the sky. "You were on an artificial continent that was built by one of my closest followers, he used my life source to try and eliminate you but it backfired and destroyed most of the continent. Then Niju fooled you into being marooned on it as its remainder sank to the depths of the ocean. He had gone into hiding, but you managed to escape and had him impounded until the day of his death. But in turn the two of you released me. The life source Niju tapped into grew in his body and soon through him I returned." Anio then reached his paw out of his dark cloak, a cloud of mist formed and when it cleared a rifle appeared and Anio then pointed it at Adam. "All I have to say is bravo! that you made it this far." He clicked the rifle and shot into the air. "Just to bad...I would like to thank you for influencing Niju to do that but your life ends here." Anio shot the second bullet. It was a plasma shot, a projectile that explodes when coming into contact with a solid object. But Adam was able to dodge the shot easily by rolling to the left.

When it looked like Adam had a chance to save himself, the wolf Adam had blasted back earlier came out of no where and threw him on the ground and held him down. "Nice try , but your fancy abilities won't save you now!" Anio aimed the rifle at Adam. "I owe it all to you Adam, take this as a token of my gratitude." And with those words of farewell, Anio clicked the trigger and shot at Adam's head. BANG! The sound echoed through the air.

"Wha? Whe-where am I?" Adam asked himself. "Am-am I still alive? How am I talking? What is this?" So many questions he asked, but no one was around to answer them. he looked around but saw nothing but whiteness. He couldn't even see his own body but he could still hear his own thoughts and voice. "I must be in some white limbo or something. But why? I was just shot wasn't I? Is this heaven or something? Then he could feel a rush of wind as if he was on top of a bullet train. The pace of the flow quickened. "WHAT'S HAPPENING!?"Then Adam saw a void open. Within the void was a blue sky with clouds. "What's that? Is that... the sky?" Adam asked himself before going through.

"AAAAAAHHHHH!" Adam screamed as he fell and landed face first in a field of grass. "Ah geez." His words muffled by the ground.

"Um excuse me?" A soft voice asked. "Are you okay? I saw you fall from the sky and wanted to know if- if you're...um...still alive." Adam looked up and saw a yellow face before him. "Oh, I've-I've never seen a creature like you before." It said.

"A yellow pegasus! It can't be!"Adam backed away.

"What's wrong? Di-did I hurt you? I'm so sorry! Please don't hate me!" The pony pleaded.

'Wow that's pitiful' Adam thought as he sat up. Adam looked at her more closely.

"Oh are you okay? I don't you to be in pain!" She asked continuously.

"Stop worrying! Look, let me introduce myself. My name is Adam Splice, I'm a human from the planet Tierra and you are?" He asked.

"You fell out of the sky...are- are you an angel?" She asked.

"What?" Adam asked confused.

"Oh! Um.. I'm fluhhtmershym." She tried to introduce herself.

"What's your name?" he asked.

"It' Fluttershmym..." She pronounced it a little better this time.

"One more time please? You're Flutter-?" He asked trying to push her forward in her sentence.

"Fluttershy...s-sorry I stuttered." She apologized.

"I understand, but what was your question before?" Adam wanted to clear things up further.

"I-i asked if you... you were an angel." She restated. "A-are you an angel?"

"What do you mean?" Adam asked. He looked at himself. His once camouflage sweater and vest were now pure white. And his black pants were now golden colored with some grey threading. "What happened my clothes?" He asked. He looked at his gloves. They were still green, whether they were still functional was another story. "I was shot in the head, but then I ended up here." He recapped his post war experience out loud, forgetting Fluttershy was even there.

(GASP) He was reminded of her presence.
"OH MY GOODNESS! That sounds terrible!" she exclaimed. Never had she heard of such a tragic ending. "But if you died..then.. that must mean you are an angel." She piped up. "You know, I have a pet bunny named Angel and I never expected to meet one, especially one like you." Futtershy was excited. "Would you like to come to my home to see my animals?" Fluttershy later thought to herself 'Wait. I don't even know him that well, and... I have been very excited, I've never talked so much in my life.' Fluttershy ended her thoughts when Adam was about to speak.

"Wait, wait. You have a pet?" He asked bewildered.

"Of course I do. Why?" She responded.

"Well where I come from talking animals is a usual thing but animals that have their own pets? That I have never imagined.
Same goes for mythological creatures." Adam explained.

"Oh..." The two sat there for a moment then Fluttershy asked again. "Wo-would you like to come t-to my cottage?"

"Um.. sure I guess." Adam replied. He got up and Fluttershy walked backwards slowly to watch the over six foot tall human tower over her.

"O-Oh my. You're very tall." she said scared yet and amazed. Then Fluttershy led the way to her home.

It was a partially cloudy afternoon. Fluttershy stepped aside to let Adam get a good look of her home. "Th-there it is. See all of the animals around here? I take care of them."

Adam took a good look at the cottage. "Wow. You must have a lot to do on your hands. I-I mean hooves. Sorry, like I said I'm not used to something like this." He explained.

"Oh don't worry." Fluttershy responded warmly. "Would you like to come inside?" She asked him. 'I haven't known this angel for an hour and I'm inviting him into my home? Wow. What is happening to me today?' She thought to herself.

"Um actually Fluttershy. Can you answer me this question?" Adam asked.

"Oh yes?" Fluttershy listened.

"Where am I?" He asked.
'How could I have forgotten to ask that?' He scolded himself.

"Oh right. You are in Equestria. It is a land ruled by two Princesses. My home here is in the outskirts of Ponyville." Fluttershy exlplained.

It was a lot for Adam to take in. Y'know, since this world seemingly being incredibly adorable and not another human in sight,. "So... did you want to meet some of friends instead?" Fluttershy asked.

"Oh sure. Why not." Adam responded breaking from his thoughts. 'This place is really peaceful, I wonder if they've ever had a war. Being a land of... well...I guess ponies I doubt it.' Adam asked another question. "Hey Fluttershy? Have your kind ever had any wars?"

"W-what? War? Oh no. we haven't had anything close to war since before our princesses began their reign. That was over a thousand years ago."

"WHAT!?" Adam yelled out. "Over a thousand? You mean your princesses are over a thousand years old? I never thought ponies could live so long." This on the other hand surprised him. He never met anyone that old.

"Really? Well, actually their like our deities. They're very powerful. They're the reason why we have day and night." Fluttershy explained. The two walked towards an Apple Orchard.

"Really? In my world our planet rotates and the sun and moon move through the sky. It just looks like they're going up and down." Adam said. They made it to the entrance to the orchard where another pony was there. He had a brown mane and tail, yellowish-orange fur and had an image of three horse shoes on his flank.

"Hello Caramel. Is something wrong?" She asked. There was balance amount of foliage blocking the front gate. Caramel was bringing in some supplies from Ponyville for harvesting.

"Oh hey Fluttershy, I..." Caramel froze when he saw Adam. Adam waved at him. Caramel hesitantly waved back. "Uh Fluttershy? Who is he?"

"Oh don't worry Caramel." She went up closer to him. "He's an angel." She whispered to him.

"Really?" he asked her. "You're an angel?" He directed his attention to Adam.

"Um... well." Now that Adam thought about it, he never really told Fluttershy anything about being an angel. He remembered his shiny clothes and how he was killed. He made up his mind. "I guess you can say I'm an angel."

"WOW! Cool! Where are you from? I never thought an angel would look the way you do." Caramel asked.

"I'm from another world, a planet called Tierra." Adam answered.

"Is it beyond our reach as mortals to get there?" Caramel asked astounded and humbly as if he was a foal just barely learning about the world around him. Adam couldn't help but chuckle at this. Adam was about to respond when he remembered the supplies. "OH CRUD! I forgot I have to get through here. But I can't go to the back entrance or over the fence. And these vines and weeds are thick. I seriously need get through as soon as possible.."

Adam remembering what they said about him being an angel offered help. 'If I'm gonna take the role of someone from the heavens I might as well act like it.' "Need help?" Adam walked up next to Caramel.

"Uh-um sure." Caramel accepted. Adam then tried to pull apart the thick and large vegetation and tossed the pieces to the side removing it out of the way. The trail was now open. It helped to wear gloves. "Thank you so much..um...?"

"Adam, the name's Adam Splice." He introduced himself.

"Well thank you Mr. Splice, sir. You really are an angel." Caramel thanked the human before going on his way. Adam had never felt so good about helping an animal since he rescued a puppy back when he was a little kid.

"That was really nice of you Adam." Fluttershy congratulated.

"No problem. So what were we doing again?" Adam forgot why they were here.

"We're here to visit my friend Applejack." She answered.

"Oh ok. Lead the way." Adam stepped aside to let her go first. 'This place is actually really nice. I bet all of them are really friendly, so far everyone I met was nice to me and welcoming, and though for someone my age it's kind of weird, this place is too adorable.' Adam thought as they walked up to the barn in front of them.

An orange pony with a blond mane ,a cowboy hat and an image of three red apples on her flank came into view. "Hello Applejack!" Fluttershy greeted the other pony. "I want you to meet a very special friend."

"Oh, howdy Fluttershy wha-" Applejack stopped and looked at Adam.

"Caramel wasn't lyin. Eh-Howdy, I'm Applejack."

"I'm Adam." He replied. Fluttershy walked to the side and watched the scene play out.

"I heard ya helped clear that brush over there. Ah wanna thank ya."

"It was nothing." Adam said. The sound of hooves clopping grew louder.

"Hello there Big Macintosh." Fluttershy greeted.

"Howdy..." The red stallion, replied.

"Um... Big Mac. This here is Adam, he helped clear that brush blockin the entrance over yonder." Applejack introduced.

"Wow, thanks a bunch. It's been stuck there fer almost three days." Big Mac thanked. "What are ya?"

Adam once again was about to answer when Fluttershy interrupted. "He's an angel." She said. She looked up at Adam, he had an annoyed face. "Oh sorry... I um.. I'll let you answer that next time." Fluttershy said embarrassed.

"Well this here's a nice settin. Oh hay! I need to see Twilight." Applejack remembered then Big Mac gave her a few saddle bags.

"Oh Applejack. Can-can we come with you? I want to show Adam the rest of Ponyville." Fluttershy requested.

"Alrighty then. Lets go." Applejack invited. The three walked out the front entrance down to the town.

The two mares and human walked into town. All of the ponies that were on the road stared at the heavenly human.

"Ooooh he's shiny." one said.

"What exactly is he?" another said.

"Where's he from?" a third said. They all murmured their own opinions

'Well they seem to be taking me okay. No one's totally scared.' Adam thought to himself. 'But like I said, if I'm gonna take the role of an angel I might as well act like it. Maybe they all think I really am an angel. Ah who cares. I'm walking amongst colorful talking ponies, anything's possible!' They arrived at a tree with windows and a door. Applejack knocked on the door. A lot of ponies were still behind them.

"Why are we at the base of a tree?" Adam asked.

"This is where Twilight lives." Fluttershy answered. Adam turned his head around slightly and looked around. He saw a group of ponies still staring at him. There were a few standing near by but most were a few yards away.

Adam smiled, then he heard the sound of a door opening behind him. A purple unicorn appeared. 'Wow. First a pegasus, and now a unicorn? Wouldn't be surprised if there was a gryphon around here. Most bizarre adventure ever' Adam thought to himself. Unlike the previous ponies this one went straight to staring at Adam.

"Woah!, where'd you two find him?" The unicorn asked.

"I found him in a field to the south of my cottage. He's an angel." Fluttershy said.

"Fluttershy!" Adam said still annoyed.

"Oh r-right. S-sorry I forgot." Fluttershy said remembering what she said about letting Adam answer the angel question.

"An angel? That's impossible, could you please come in?" Twilight requested. They all went inside.

The interior was rather large, and there were many books. It's a library duh.. "Hey Rainbow." Applejack said.

Adam looked and saw a blue pegasus, with a rainbow mane. She was reading a book. He looked closer at it the title read. "Daring Do and the Lanfront Ruins." the pegasus looked up and saw him.

"What the?" She said. She flew over to him and looked at him in the eyes. "What are you?" She asked. Adam looked at Fluttershy , she covered her face with her hooves.

"I.. am a.." Adam was about to reply when he got interrupted...yet again.

"He says he's an angel." Twilight said. Rainbow turned to her and Adam face-palmed.

'Geez... I still can't answer the question.'

"Heh- no your not." She accused.

"Wh-what? Rainbowdash. Adam IS an angel." Fluttershy established.

"Um, no Fluttershy, he's not. If he was, where are his wings? Why can we see him? Nice clothes but still, what are you?"She asked.

"But...but he..." Fluttershy tried to explain why she thought he was an angel. Adam motioned to her to stay quiet. She quieted down.

"If that's the case, I'm a human." Adam gave her an alternative and truthful answer. "It's what I was before I became an angel."

"You're a-human?" Rainbow asked.

"Yes." Adam said walking towards Twilight. As he walked up to her he walked by a mirror and looked at his reflection.

"What's a human? I need more info than just that." Rainbow Dash asked.

"So you said you're a human huh? Let me see if I can find a description of your species." Twilight said looking through a book titled "Non-Equine Entities". "Nope. Nothing... Apparently humans have never been seen or recorded in Equestria ever. Unless I'm looking in the wrong book. Are humans an endangered species?" She asked Adam who was still looking at the mirror. "Adam?"

""Wh-wha? Why am I? I look so young." Adam looked at his face, his once mid 20s look now looked more like as if he was still going through puberty.
