-Sweet Apple Acres-

"So this is the place" I said looking out at the wide expanse of land filled with apples, "How many people work here?" Looking at fluttershy she answered me with the most unbelievable answer ever (for talking ponies that is) "Two" she said 'two!?' 'I must commemorate these ponies for their hard work with this land' 'I know I can't even see the end of this' "Umm mister shifter sir are you okay?" fluttershy said snapping me out of my thoughts, "Oh look theirs applejack" She said rather excitedly pointing to the right. Looking to my right I see an orange colored pony with yellow hair with the cutiemark of three apples the most interesting fact was 'Is that pony wearing a Stetson interesting I haven't seen a Stetson for a while ever since we had that run in with that gunslinger person' 'uhh don't remind me' I thought as bad memories resurfaced. "Come on let's go meet her" I said as I took fluttershy's hoof, ignoring the blush that was adorned on fluttershy's face at the moment, and walking towards the pony.

"Hello there my names Gear shifter nice to meet you" I said as I extend my hoof towards the farm pony, "Well howdy their gear shifter are you new around here?" "Yeah I was just here yesterday" "Well nice to meet you too and umm…" "What what is it?" I asked but instead of getting a response she just pointed a hoof somewhere. Following the hoof I noticed I was still holding fluttershy's hoof and she was blushing like crazy. "Oh I'm sorry fluttershy I just really wanted to meet applejack." I said as I let go of her hoof, "um... no it's ok… um it's just…." Fluttershy muttered as she was still in a daze from me holding her hoof, "Well shoot boy nice to meet someone with as much enthusiasm as pinkie pie." 'There there's that name again pinkie pie' "So you live and work here at the farm with…" I said as fluttershy told me two people worked here, "Oh yeah that would be me and mah big brother Big Mac…umm did I say something funny?" She said as she noticed me trying to laugh too much, "Oh I'm sorry it's just that I remember something funny" 'OMG! Someone is named after a burger oh man I can't wait to meet this big mac hehehe'

'uuhhh will you ever grow up and stop acting childish' "um well where is big mac? I want to meet him" "Well he's right over there hey big brother over here" She said waving over towards….. 'Holy everything that is amazing that is not a pony that is a horse!' 'Umm ok then' I thought a little bit worried about Icarus reaction to the big red pony with what appears to be a yoke and the 'cutie'mark of a green apple not to mention he has orange hair. "Big mac this is gear shifter he's new in ponyville" She said pointing at me, "Nice to meet you big mac" "Eeyup" 'wow poetic' "Well we have to go to work now see you around fluttershy and you too gear" "Bye applejack by big macintosh"

I said as I waved them goodbye, "Well then fluttershy where to next…. Umm fluttershy snap out of it" as fluttershy was still in a daze until I snapped her out, "Hmm oh yes lets go to rarity's boutique" but before she could continue I interrupted her "Oh good a boutique I need to make my own custom clothes 'heh custom being the keyword oh I can see their faces when you start using your own supplies' 'yeah let's hope they won't have too much of a freak out' I started to follow fluttershy to boutique.

-Carousel Boutique-

"Hmm this place looks impressive maybe I can work to make my clothes here" I said not realizing I was thinking out loud. "What was that Gear?" Fluttershy said looking at me worriedly but still with a light blush on her face from me holding her hoof, "Oh nothing I was just thinking out loud" "Alright then let's go inside" entering the boutique my eyes immediately looked at everything scanning every detail see if I could 'work' in peace. But before I could continue I was interrupted by a new voice "Welcome to Carousel Boutique oh hello fluttershy and who might your friend be?" said a slightly pompous voice looking up I saw a marshmallow white pony with purple hair and a cutiemark of three diamonds 'oh boy plase don't tell me she's a bi- 'Neo language you know you are in a world of ponies so I don't think they would take kindly or would they even know your insulting them'

'fine you win this round but if stuff goes down I am swearing like no tomorrow' "Well where are my manners hello there my name is rarity and you are?" "Gear shifter nice to meet you and can I ask you something?" "Yes what is it?" "Well I was wondering if you can let me make my clothes here?" "Clothes well you know I'm a very avid maker of outfits and dresses surely I can make this for you?" "I know but I like to work on my own and who knows you might learn something" "Umm well alright but just this once" said rarity, "sweet thanks right both of you step back and enjoy the show" I said both the ponies were a little bit confused but stepped back anyways, "Right let's do this Nen Strings" (internet cookies to anyone who can guess where this is from)I said as both my 'hooves and eyes started to glow'

"Oh dear fluttershy what's happening?" Rarity said, "Oh this is nothing yet wait till the show starts" I said a few seconds later my hooves started to move faster than what I assume ponies can move. In about 10 seconds I was done and I took a look at my outfit which consisted of all the clothes I wore when I was well me and some extras such as secret compartments like a machine that will release finger like machines to help me use things much easier than using hooves and a morphing suit that can help me traverse on harder lands since this pony body will take a while to get use to and at the place where my hooves are there were gloves that will help me control my clockwork powers and handle the weapons much easier. "Well that turned out fine what do you guys think" I said as I turned to look at two flabbergasted and shocked ponies.

"How did you do that so quick yet everything is perfect the matching stitches and I might say the style even looks good…no amazing" "Umm thanks I guess" I said as I started to put it on. Finally getting into my clothes it feels fine and fit me perfectly, "Well come on fluttershy we have to go to twilight now and I need to sleep doing things like this makes me tired" I said as I yawned to prove my point. Well after leaving a very shocked rarity back at her boutique and we reached the library and that's when I noticed something strange, "Umm fluttershy why are the lights off in twilight's house?" "Oh maybe she left to do something oh well let's just go in" "Alright" I said as I made my way in the library and the minute I flipped the switch….SUPRISE!

That was the sound I heard and other sounds I couldn't make out as I scanned the room and there I saw many things. The first things I saw were many ponies I hadn't met yet but I could make out some familiar faces there was Applejack, Big Mac, Rainbow dash, Twilight sparkle, Spike, DJ-PON3, even Rarity(how did she get here before me), and the grey mare with weird eyes but before I could say anything a pink pony appeared in my face. "Hey hey where you surprised huh were you I bet you were surprised that's why you weren't saying anything I bet you were so shocked we took the words right out of your mouth right well were you were you come on answer me?" That was a long sentence in one breath and to prove my point the pink pony took a long breath. "Well I guess you got me that quite a shock but who is this party for anyway?" "Why you silly filly" "me?" "Yep I always throw a party for everpony new in town." "Huh thanks" I said then taking a look around, "well what are you waiting for let's get this party started!"

Boy was the party fun there were games, food, dancing singing, dubstepping(that is now a word deal with it), and food. 'umm you said food twice' 'Who cares FOOD!'. When the party died down the only people left were me, fluttershy, applejack, rarity, rainbow dash, pinkie pie, and twilight sparkle "Boy that party was fun" "Yes it was now let's get down to business" twilight sparkle said with a hint of… Caution and distrust? "Now gear rarity here said some interesting things about you." She said still looking at me with caution. "Oh that what about it" "What I want to know is how an earth pony can use magic." Twilight said with a tone of curiosity that was met with the rest of the ponies except a certain rainbow hair colored pony and fluttershy, "You can do magic!?" was the general response. "Not magic that was an ability I had discovered on my own"

"and that would be?" and as to prove my point I raised my hoof and used KO on it and with just enough nen that the ponies could see it. The general response was curiosity amazement and a little bit of fear which is understandable, "How did you come across this ability" Twilight said as she levitated a quill and parchment and looked ready to write, "Through vigorous training that took me years and can only be learned by being thought by another user of Nen" Immediately hoofs were raised as if they were students and I was the teacher, but I knew exactly what they were thinking,

"so no I won't teach you and no I won't use it against you and no I won't use them for pranks" Immediately all the hoofs went down except rainbow dash wanted to speak her mind, "Well why not?" she said with a tone aggressiveness, "Because the training I went through nearly killed me" I said and that silenced all the ponies. Silence filled the air until Applejack spoke up, "Well what did you have to do?" "Well let's see you guys know what manticores are" I said and they nodded their heads, "alright then you guys must know hydras" again they nodded, "For my training I had to face 1,000 of each with just my bare fist and when I grew up my master would always add another 1,000 right now the amount of manticores and hydras I fought would all add up to 1 billion" and that was the final kick needed to add the shock. All the ponies were quiet not quite believing what I had said but one by one they each turned to applejack and she had an even more grim face on, "Well applejack?" Twilight said looking at her, "I'm sorry y'all but he's telling the truth and that's final."

Before the ponies could react in horror or speak their thoughts I beat them to it with a question, "Why did you guys expect applejack to know I was telling the truth or not what can she tell when someone lies?" "Well she is the element of truth after all" Twilight responded, "Element of truth?" "Well you see— "Oh hold on I got an idea how about info for info." Said twilight interrupting fluttershy. "Alright then I'm game but nothing too personal." "Ok then." I said as all the ponies got ready to ask me questions. "Right Question 1 what are the elements of harmony?" "The elements of harmony are the embodiment of all that is about friendship and in return what other powers do you have?" "I can use any powers icarus can now what do each of you represent for the elements of harmony?" "Well I represent magic fluttershy represents kindness, rainbow dash loyalty, applejack honesty, pinkie pie laughter, and rarity generosity now who is this icarus character?" "Icarus is one of my most closest friends and helps me be my best with my powers, now this is starting to get late so how about I just showcase my powers tomorrow and will call it quits alright?" I said as I looked around as I was met with nods of approval until rainbow dash spoke up, "Alright then to showcase your powers I'll fight you!" "Alright then." "HAH! I'm gonna beat you in ten seconds flat!"

'Please don't hurt her too much neo and please don't use too much of your powers' 'relax and besides I'll only show a fraction of my powers' I thought as I yawned and stretched my hooves, "Well I need to go to sleep mind if I crash with you again fluttershy?" "Umm ok then follow me." She said as everyone said their goodbyes and each made their way home except twilight.

-Fluttershy's Cottage-

"Umm gear when you said you had to fight hydras and manticores were did you kill any of them?" But before she could continue I responded, "HAH! I would never kill for training or pleasure my master once told me that life is very precious and I learned that first hand when… umm look I don't wanna talk about it I have a bad history just know this I only kill when it's a last resort or AND only or I have no choice….look I'm gonna go to sleep now fluttershy if you don't mind." I said as I ONCE AGAIN reopened old wounds and scars, "Umm ok" Fluttershy said as she was very interested in my story with eyes of…. Sadness? ' Why would she be sad for me she doesn't even know me?' were my final thoughts as I went to sleep in the guest bedroom.

-Neo's Dreams (Also a little bit of backstory)-

My dreams were always the same with those two in them and the same situation everytime…

"Hey Neo wake up man Neo wake up WAKE UP!" said a voice as neo was woken up, "Uhh why did you wake me up this early Jason?" "Uh durr we have school today what do you think come on will be late if we don't go right now!" Said the now named jason as he started to shake Neo again in hopes of waking him up, "Alright I'm up I'm up geez" I said finally getting up, "Good come on I'm already ready I'll see you at the bus stop" said Jason as he left, "Huh today feels like a good day right icarus?" I said as I looked at the other person in the room, "Huh yeah I guess but shouldn't you be ready for school I mean I am" Said icarus as he stood up to leave the room, "Man hey wait up you two!" I said as I started getting dressed for school. Neo Finally caught up to the two,

"Geez why did you guys ditch me like that?!" "Well I'm sorry but you just wouldn't wake up even after me and icarus tried a lot of times." "Oh come on!? Anyways I need too know did I miss anything when I was absent?" "Not really you just have to run your mile and that's it." "Oh good that's not really that bad… Icarus you ok you haven't said anything the whole time?" I said as I look at Icarus looking out into the horizon, "You guys feel that?" was his only response but I understand it immediately as both me and jason's eye's started to glow mine blue jason's _ and icarus' _ We all had felt that evil presence. "Look's like it's starting again" Icarus said as hue turned to meet both our gazes, "are you both ready." But before I could nod…. I woke up in a cold sweat "Not again with that dream I had too many times now." I said as I looked around, "Where am…. Oh yeah that's right fluttershy's cottage" as I was looking around I knew I had to go to sleep again this time I knew how I could make myself fall asleep. My eyes started to glow as the room around me started to change to that of a long field with a gentle breeze in the wind. "Huh I haven't been here for a while" I said as I yawned and finally went to sleep a blissful sleep.

Hey guys barefoottiger 42 here now you may be wondering why I didn't describe the eyes of Jason and icarus well that's because they are gonna be important later in the story so I'm trying not to give too much away for the big reveal I hope you guys understand now see you guys later and hope you have a nice day Signing out.
