All right then I'm delving deep in to unmarked territory. I have a feeling this wont end well.

Ponyville

I fell to the ground still tangled in a rope with Mark. Then something hard hit me in the head. I landed on a rock. Mark had been squirming so much that I couldn't find an end of the rope, he'd stopped by now, obviously worn out. After what seemed like half an hour I finally managed to escape the rope. Mark lay unconscious, his head was resting on a rock suggesting he'd hit his head hard enough to knock him out. I took a look around and let out a groan. I knew this place all too well. Mark let out a moan. "Dude, get up!" I sighed. He sat up rubbing his head.
"Ow...I feel like I played chicken with a train...and lost. What happened?"
"You hit your head on a rock of a world that hates us."
"What are you..." He trailed off looking at what I was staring at. A barn was near by. I looked around again and noticed the apple trees.
"Heh..." I chuckled "Machine must've been returning he rope to it's owner."
"Yeah..." he agreed. "Look dude just use your powers and open a portal before we're seen and completely destroy the fabric of this universe."
"Good idea, though I wouldn't mind destroying this place."
"Marshall..." He warned.
"Fine." I sighed and snapped my fingers. Nothing happened. I snapped my fingers again. Still nothing. "Come on. Ugh Mark you just had to make a man-made portal. Now I can't open a portal."
"Wait, how do you know it was the man-made portal."
"Because, author by laws state that man made objects that can affect author powers. Until I go back through a portal, I can't summon anything."
"Well, I have an understanding that the inhabitants here have powers of sorts."
"No!"
"But..."
"No! No way I'm any where near those Ponies, Unicorns, Pegasi, Alicorns or whatever other species of freaks lives here."
"Marshall, be rude all you want but those 'freaks' are quite possibly the best way out of his universe."
"Ugh, if I weren't immortal I would have been killed by them last time I was here."
"Wait what do you mean last time?"
"Long story, Short attention span. Let's just get this over with before anything else happens." We started walking for the barn. Behind us a jar of green mist rolled away. Out of the trees a stray apple fell and shattered the jar and the mist escaped. For a second it was in the shape of a man. It then flew off in the direction of a town.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
We stood in an alley near the town center. Looking around the corner we could see the six who had been in our house almost an hour ago standing in the square. "Hmm, convenient." I muttered. I picked up an apple I found on the ground in Applejack's farm. I tossed it in the air and caught it. "Ready Mark?" I asked.
"So, your idea of getting their attention so they can help us is to throw an apple at them."
"No. It's just a perk." I smirked. I then Threw the apple at full force. It beamed Rainbow Dash in the side of the head. She fell for a second before shaking it off. I could feel the rage but I couldn't help but laugh. She looked around and the zeroed in on my head sticking around the corner. She flew over her friends in hot pursuit.
"What are you two doing here?" she asked the moment she raced over.
"Returning some rope." I tossed the rope at Applejack when she turned the corner. "Besides I just couldn't WAIT to see you guys again." I added sarcastically.
"Look, what my rude and ignorant brother is trying to say is that we need a portal to our world. I have an understanding that the inhabitants of this world have powerful magic. Enough to return us to the Author Universe. Marshall would usually have been able to open a portal but his magic was, well, disabled when we came through the portal." Mark explained.
"Okay, why did you go through the portal in the first place?" Twilight asked
"Because," I said putting on my innocent smile "Applejack here left her rope and it tied us up and dragged us here forcefully. So thank you for forcing us here." I said with more sarcasm.
Applejack chucked at this.
"You think that's Funny?" I asked.
"Well, yeah when you think about it..." Pinkie pie started.
"Can it!"
"Look, If we can get to my spell book I can probably cast a portal and get you out of here as soon as possible. But, you can't be seen like...that." Twilight said.
"Ugh, my life is an endless..." I started
"Marshall, stop complaining and use this." Mark tossed me a ray gun. I caught it and recognized it was the morph gun. I zapped Applejack with a ray. I then aimed at Mark. "Wait!" He yelled but it was too late. I zapped him. Mark suddenly shifted. He turned into a Pink Pony with a Darker pink mane. I then realized my mistake, he was a mare. She adjusted her glasses and stared daggers at me. "Marshall..."
I stifled a laugh, "You know sometime the universe give you a small gift." I then shot a beam in a random direction. I then zapped myself. I closed my eyes. When I opened my eyes, I was a grey Stallion with a blonde mane. "You know this coloration reminds me of the Pony I met last time. She was my personal assistant, uh what was her name..." out of nowhere a pony walked into the alley, same coloration as myself. "Looked like her, loved muffins...Ugh, what was her name?"
"Hey Derpy." Dash said.
"Yeah That was her name...Oh hey Derpy, remember me?"
"Hmm...were you the guy with the magic muffin pocket?" She said, her yellow eyes focusing for a second on me, before losing all focus.
"Sure"
"Oh yeah. Can I have a muffin?"
"Wanna be my personal assistant until I leave?"
"Do I get Muffins?"
"Yes." I pulled a muffin out of my hoodie pocket.
She snatched it with her mouth and chowed down.
"Okay are you done doing that 'nothing-to-do-with-the-current-situation' thing?"
"Yeah, let's go, come on Derpy." We all followed Twilight to get her book.
Behind us a pony with green eyes walked up to another pony. Green eyes tapped the other pony on the shoulder. The green eyed pony fainted. The other one's eyes turned green. He smiled evilly and left the unconscious pony on the ground.
