Welcome to chapter 3! Sorry, it took forever to post this. Also, those of you don't or have noticed that I have been improving and fixing my mistakes in the last two chapters a lot. As the story progress, I will go back to fix misspellings, improving the dialogues, etc. You get the point. Don't forget to check them out, though. As you guys didn't notice or have noticed, the progress of this story WILL be slow at first, but I hoping to improve that. Will enough of that. You know the drill. I hope you enjoy it.

Edit: I made lots of corrections, rewriting sentence structures, dialogs, and of course grammars (hopefully got most of them... maybe not...).

Ch3: New World! New Friends? Part 2

(Dream)

Gunfire, explosions, and screams. Women and children running for their lives. Men crying and some desperately fighting back, but they were cut down just like the rest. Aircraft can be heard. I look up at the sky to see enemy aircraft coming down on us, at me. Bringing hell and leaving behind death and destruction. As far I could see is the land covered in mud and blood as the sea filled with countless bodies, blood, oil, and fire. Then everything turns black as night. A ghost appears in front of me, and he slowly raises his arm, pointing at me.

"Murderer!" Another appears next to him.

"Murderer!" Then another.

"Murderer!" Soon I was surrounded. Saying the same thing over and over. This frightens me.

"What did I do, I didn't do anything wrong," I yelled back.

"WRONG!" They all became silent, this shaken me to the core. This voice is all too familiar. Anger takes over, I knew instantly who it is. This bastard that put me through hell in the first place, taking me from my home — my family. A black figure comes out of the crowd and slowly approaches me.

"YOU!" Filled with rage. I pulled out my sword and squeezed the handled. I brought it closes to my chest. The blade is close to my right cheek. I find myself in a defensive form: my legs are spread out, my left leg forward, and twisting my chest to my right. I stare into his hood, showing no fear. Many thoughts ran through my head, but they all had one thing in common; "I'm gonna kill this mother fucker." I wanted to strike, wanting to send this bastard where the hell-hole he came from but I needed to wait to see what will he do first.

He just stands there, calm and relax. He then slowly raises his right hand up and close to his face. In reposes, I tighten my grip, preparing for the worse. He snaps his fingers and next thing you know, my grip becomes loose. I take a glance at it to see my sword disappearing into thin air, this gets my full attention. I slightly fall out of my stance, brought my hands close to my face, seeing my palm of my hands, and clutch my hands into fist. Staring back at him and before I could make a move, the ghosts continue accusing me.

"You did nothing to stop it!"

"You allow them to attack us!"

"You didn't warn us!"

"YOU ARE A TRAITOR!" I fall on my knees in fear and then silence surrounds me.

"No blood…"

I look down; my bare hands covered in blood.

"Will never…"

I look up; dead men, women, and children all around me.

"Wash away!"

My face falls into the palm of my hands and I cried.

"AHHHHHH!"

I look up to see a little girl, being chased by a dark figure. I ran after them. No matter how fast I ran, I could never reach her. I could never reach in time.

Before I could get to her, everything turns black as night. "Kendov, Kein, Dinok, Zoor!" Everything goes into silent.

(Dream End)

I gasped and my eyes shot wide open to be welcome by the sun's glare in my eyes. Painting heavily and grabbing my chest. I could hear my heart pounding hard, tears forming in my eyes, and bowing my head as I cried. They're just nightmares... They're just nightmares... They're just nightmares. I sat there for a while. Taking a deep breath and after a few seconds I was now calm down.

I look up again to be welcomed by the sun glare. After a few short seconds of adjusting to it, it's a sunrise. I continue to stare at it, thus bringing back old memories. Old and painful memories.

(Flashback)

"Yesterday…" A swarm of bombers appears out of the clouds in the sky descending onto the harbor.

"December 7, 1941…" Warships in flames.

"A date which will live in infamy…" The harbor being decimated.

"The United States of America…" United States flag flies over the airfield with holes.

"Was suddenly…" Battleships exploding, sinking, and top siding.

"And deliberately attacked…" Hospitals bombed, civilians and military personnel slaughtered.

"By naval…" Ships sinking and sailors jumping off the ship only to be slaughtered.

"And air forces…" Swarm of bombers and fighters decimating the airfield and slaughtering the pilots.

"Of the Empire of Japan." Bombers flying over the harbor bearing the red symbol of the Rising Sun of Japan on its wings.

"Japan… Japan… Japan." It echoes my head.

(Flashback End)

A short, high-pitched sound snaps me out of it. Its coming from my radar, flickering like crazy. Since yesterday, it's gotten worse and by the sound of it, it's not getting any better by itself and it's starting to annoy me. I gotta get this fix ASAP. I remove my helmet to see if I can find the cause of this. On the outside, some minor damage, but nothing direct. Nope, just bullet, plasma, and claw marks. Maybe it's inside.

Taking a look inside and I notice a small tear on the left side near the radar. I check it and it doesn't take long to find the damage. There's a bullet lodged in it, which it damaged the wires. I see a hint of red on it, indicating its blood. I need some wires, electric tape, and tools.

Taking a look around, under me I see a Humvee making me grin. Hmm... Maybe I could find some in there... if they're still there though.

With that, I jump down, landing on my hands and knees with ease like a ninja. I stood up and notice a rusted metal barrel near the vehicle. As I approached the vehicle, I set my helmet on the barrel.

I grab the driver's door handle to open it, but instead, it falls off the vehicle leaving behind the door handle in my hand. I stood there in shock. Holy shit. I look down and back up again. Damn, either I have super powers or this is one old shitty ass door. After a couple seconds, I shrug off and continued.

I searched in the driver seat area to find wires dangling down under the steering wheel and the dashboard. Jackpot! I pulled out my sword and cut the wires. Now, let's see I can find some tools.

Taking a look at the back of the vehicle over the seats to see ammo boxes and crates. Among them, I see a hint of a red box. Maybe it's a toolbox. I got out and open the back door without it breaking or falling off this time. In my search, I found what I was looking at. A large red rusted toolbox. Now, the question is does it have tools.

I open it to find myself smiling. In it has the tools I need. Jackpot! It has a wrench, pliers, electrical tape, duct tape, screwdrivers, screws, hammer, nails, adjustable spanner, tape measure, basically every tool I would need. Holy shit! How in the world I got this lucky.

I close it and as I was about to move it, but I notice a black box like a casing for something large. What's in it? I open it, to my surprise it's a Javelin, a bazooka that targets base on the heat. It's unloaded, but it has three rockets next to it. What in the world. Why is a bazooka doing in the middle of the forest?

Looking at the other boxes. I wonder what else is in here. As I open the boxes, the first one is covered in moth and the wood is rotten. I open to find nothing, but dynamite. Dynamite!? Why is there dynamite here? Strange. I'm betting the next box has grenades.

The next box was not covered in moth as the other, but the wood seems to be rotten though. I open to find that I was correct. It has standard, smoke, and flash bang grenades. Called it! Picking up a flash bang, I toss it into the air and having fall back into my hand. Flash bang, now this is gonna indefinitely be useful. With that, I grab them to refill my supplies.

The next box appeared to be in good condition but covered a bit of green. I open it to find ammunition, but it has a wrong type of magazines for my weapons. Damn. These wont do... Maybe there's a weapon in here somewhere.

Looking behind of the box to find a case about the size of an assault rifle. Jackpot! Grabbing it and setting it on top of the other box. I open it to find an MP5 SMG. Where did these weapons come from? - No... The question is who or what brought all this equipment all the way out here... And why?

Inspecting the weapon to find that its features have a strap, a more silent, and throughout the weapon it has scratch marks. One, in particular, is similar to a claw mark. I run my fingers over it. Not realizing, rubbing my neck, where you could see a huge scare at the throat. I could feel my neck in pain. Before the memories start to fill my head, I took a deep breath and let it out. Breathe in and breath out. Don't let it in. Don't let it in.

I continued to do this to calm my mind, clearing my thoughts. With that, I continued what I was doing and took the weapon. Wrap it around my waist and took much ammo as I can hold.

Taking a look around, I see one more box. Maybe this box will have answers. It shaped like a treasure chest with a lock. I smile. Time to play pirate. I attempted to open, but it wouldn't budge. Damn, plan b. With that I pulled out my sword and cut the lock off with ease, I smiled at the result. I love this sword.

Opening it to find a bag. It appeared to be a purse, adventure carry bag, or something. The material appears to be a mixture of cloth and leather. I open it to find a map. On it said "Map of M.L.P." and a showed a continent with an island and bunch of smaller islands. M.L.P. What does it stand for? I shrug off though.

Continuing digging, I find a brown journal. Feeling curious, I open it. To my surprise, blank pages. What the? I went through page and after page, the entire book and found nothing except blank pages. There are no marks, no signs of tatty pages, nothing. Like its brand-new. Why would someone have this if they weren't gonna use it? Strange. Tossing it back in the bag. Placing the strap of the bag around my right shoulder and hanging it over my left side of the waist.

Going through the boxes again to find army-green clothes folded up nicely which I smiled. Nice, not gonna worry about having no clothes now. I pick it up which I unfolded it up to find that it was not just clothes, it's a uniform.

I inspected it closely, my eyes roam all over it till my eyes fell upon onto its upper sleeves to see a pact that I knew instantly what it is. It's a United States of America flag. Thus, this is a U.S. Army uniform. Huh. Last time I see this type of uniform was during… World War II. I frown at this thought and mumbled to myself, "No mission too Difficult. No sacrifice too great. Duty… first." Duty my ass. Anger takes over, my grip tightens on the uniform. Tear forms in my eyes. Dropping it, it falls back into the box. I wipe my eyes, trying to keep myself together. Sniffed and breathed heavily, rubbing my forehead with my right hand.

Taking a look again into the box, seeing the uniform which I moved it to the side. I sighed deeply to see a World War II helmet and a dog tag. I picked the tag up, but only to see it badly burnt making it unable to read it. Damn, can't read it. I sigh in defeat.

Moving the helmet, I find letters and open envelopes. I randomly pick up one of them to see the date: June 10, 1944. Four days after D-Day. I knew instantly whoever was this man, he fought at D-Day. I became curious to read it, but I decided not to. With that, I place the letters back but took the uniform for clothes which I folded them and put in my bag.

For one last look, at the bottom, I see a small military backpack. It appears to have something in it, so I opened it to find basic medical supply. Well, this will be useful. I took the backpack and put it on. Then I see something familiar, where the backpack was. Taking it out carefully, only to see it has red and white stripes with white stars and a blue background. Its folded into a triangle shape and covered in dust. I know instantly what it is. It's a United States flag. My home country. Divided we fall, united we rise. It's about the size an average man, so I folded and took it, putting it in the bag. Turning back to the toolbox and moving it onto the seat. Opening it again and grabbed the pliers, utility knife, and electric tape.

Heading back where I last place my helmet. I cut the damage wires and replace it with fresh. No. Old. No. Let just say better wires that are not damaged. Using pliers to twist the ends of it. Wrap it with electric tape. After making couple tweaks to make sure it works properly because last time I need is shooting friendlies. Then finally the radar was now functioning properly. This process has taken me a couple of hours to get this done. Finally, it's done. Damn, this took awhile.

Looking up the sky to see what time of day is it. By the position of the sun, it's around ten o'clock to noon. As I watch the sky, I noticed a flock of birds, smiling. Nature's beauty. It's nice to be away from the… I frown and my head bows down facing the ground. War…

I heard a short, high-pitched sound that broke my train of thought. Turning to the source, coming from my helmet. It's all too familiar, I knew instantly what it is, my radar. Taking a look closely, seeing six dots on the screen heading towards me. Looks like I'm gonna have company.

I quickly grabbed my helmet and jump quickly into the trees. Jumping from branch to branch so fast that you could not keep your eyes on me. Sticking to the shadows, I grabbed my sword with my right hand, but not pulling it out of its scabbard.

As the dots got closer, I slowly bring my rifle up pointing at the source with my left hand. Finally, after waiting for my potential enemies. I slowly started to pull trigger and pulling out my sword.

I stopped in my tracks to find myself to see five mare ponies. Recognizing Applejack among them. What is she doing here? What a minute here. Why is there only five down there and six on my radar?

I look at my radar as I thought this. What the?! Hearing the sound of flapping, I look up to see a pegasus flying above them. Oh... Well, that answers my question.

Her eye color pink, her mane color is red, orange, yellow, green, dark blue, and purple and her coat color is cyan. She wore black short sleek sweatpants with lighting bolt with a cloud, blue with white lace tennis shoes, white socks, gloves showing her fingertips and knuckles, and a white tank top. Hmm... She reminds me of a candy product, skittles. And by her appearance, she's an athlete.

In front of the main group is a unicorn with Applejack on her right side. Her eye color is lavender, her mane color is dark sapphire blue with dark purple and dark pink streaks, and her coat is lavender. She wore a purple with dark sapphire blue and dark pink checkered stripes pattern skirt going up to her knees, sleeveless sweater vest having the pattern of rhombus shape and the same color of her skirt, under her sweater is a white button-up shirt with short sleeves and a pink six-pointed sparkle surrounded by five small white sparkles on her sleeves, white long socks, and a school uniform black loafers shoe. She looks like a schoolgirl. Must be a student or something.

On Applejack left side and behind her is a unicorn. Her eye color azure, her mane color is indigo with three crystal blue diamond shape barrettes, and her coat color is white. She wore dark purple heels, skirt the same color as her heels, light blue blouse shirt with three crystal blue rhombus her sleeves, gold bracelet around her wrist, a black belt around her waist with a gold buckle, and her face has makeup on. Fancy.

On the left side of the lavender unicorn is a pony. Her eye color is light blue, her mane color is dark pink, and her coat color is bright pink. She wore red shorts, dodger blue shoes with pink lace, white and light blue stripes long sock, a blue t-shirt with long sleeves and over it says "Let's Party!" in color red, and on her sleeves are two blue balloons with yellow strings and a yellow balloon with blue string. I tilt my head to the side to notice that she wasn't walking. Is she… bouncing!? Freaky! I decided to not question it and just let it be.

Behind of the group is a pegasus. Her eye color is green-sea, her mane is bright pink, and her coat is light yellow. She wore a lime skirt with pink, light blue, and yellow butterflies pattern going up to her angles, lime wool button-up sweater with three butterflies with green sea bodies and pink wings on her sleeves and showing a white shirt, green-sea belt around her waist, and light green block heels. She appears to be nerves. Hmmm… I wonder why?

"Are you sure he went this way." The lavender unicorn questioning.

"Ah reckon so, Twi." Applejack answers it with confidence. Twi, huh. Must be short for Twilight or it's her nickname unless it's her actual name.

"Look here, his tracks leads this way." Applejack points at my footprints, leading towards me. Oops.

Twi nods. She looks up and shouts at the cyan pegasus. "Do you see him anywhere?" Their looking for me, interesting.

"Nada." The cyan pegasus shouts back as she flies around a bit. Twi sighs in response.

"Why did the forest had to be filthy," said the unpleasant white unicorn spoke.

"Why d'ya had to dress fancy?" Applejack spoke.

"Well, a lady dresses properly, darling," said the white unicorn. "Especially for a knight in shining armor." She smiles dreamily. I cringe at that last statement. Oh boy.

Applejack just snickers. "Sorry to disappoint you, Rarity, but his armor ain't that shinin'." Rarity, huh. Must be her name.

Rarity becomes confused, looks at her and questionings her. "What do you mean?"

Applejack looks back at her. "I mean his armor is in coat o' mud like the 'forest.'"

Rarity looks back forward, raising her head high, and spoke with pride. "No matter, I'm gonna show him my gratitude, anyway."

"You could do that without the need of dressin' fancy for him." Applejack tries to put some sense to her.

"Nonsense! I want to show my divine beauty when I meet him." The white unicorn adjusts her mane, trying to make herself look even more attractive.

Applejack grins. "Why so ya could get his attention and hopin' to go out with him on a date." Rarity blushes a bit at the response. Applejack leans close to her face. "Or better yet become his mate!"

Rarity was about to object, but only be interrupted by the cyan pegasus. "Yeah, is that the ONLY reason why you came out here." The cyan pegasus snickers.

The white unicorn blush depends more. "That is preposterous!" Starting to get pissed off.

"Sure." The cyan pegasus and Applejack said in unison. Both of them look at each other than back to the white unicorn.

Rarity became annoyed. "I would have you know that I came out here to thank him for saving my little sister."

Applejack was about say something until she heard the white unicorn. "OH!" Applejack stops in her tracks and looks behind her, seeing the white unicorn stepped in mud. "My beautiful heels." She lifts her left heel up to see the bottom heels covered in mud. Applejack and cyan pegasus chuckles at this while the white unicorn did not found it funny at all.

"Rarity, are you okay," ask yellow pegasus sounded concern.

"I'm fine dear."

"I reckon if ya wore other than your 'beautiful heels' you wouldn't be in this mess." Applejack says and continues to chuckle.

Cyan pegasus mocks her as well and says, "Yeah, or better yet, if you watch where you were going, you wouldn't have ruin your 'beautiful heels.'"

The white unicorn gives them death stare. "I would have you know th-"

"Ladies!" Twi semi-yells at them, interrupting them, and getting their attention. They fell silent as she stops her tracks and faces them. While the rest of them stops in their tracks. "This isn't the time or place to act like this."

"Sorry Twilight," said Applejack. Ha, I was right.

"My apologies," said white unicorn.

"Sorry," said cyan pegasus.

"Look, we are here to talk to him and convince him. Okay," said Twilight. They nod in response.

"But what if he is not convinced. W-what if he does not want to c-come with us," said yellow pegasus, feeling unsure.

"Then we'll convince him with cakes, party, and maybe even balloons." The pink pony throws party confetti into the air and brings out a balloon as she said this with a huge smile and excitement. How the hell! What the… where did she get those from? That's really weird. I jump to another tree, getting closer to them.

Applejack looks at the pink pony. "Ah reckon it won't work, Pinkie Pie." Hmm. I can see why she's name that.

The Pinkie Pie looks at her. "How do you know?"

"Ah don't, but ah'm just sayin' that it might not work."

Pinkie Pie gets in Applejack face making her lean back a bit. "Well, how do YOU know it won't work. Hmmm."

"(sign) Ah reckon ya have a point there." Applejack looks down making the pink pony smiles in victory. Applejack looks back up. "But still."

"Then will just drag his flank." The cyan pegasus spoke. I would like to see you try. With that, I jump down, landing on the ground with silence and still hiding in the shadows.

"Hold your hoofs their, sugarcube." Applejack gets the cyan pegasus attention. "Ah have not seen Joseph fight, but the filles have." Applejack spoke.

The cyan pegasus lands on her feet. "Yeah, so."

"So?" Applejack getting bit annoyed and crosses her arms.

"I mean he's only human." The cyan pegasus rubs her neck.

"Well that 'human' was able to single-handedly defeat a pack of timberwolves and it's leader in the process," said Twilight, "Twice if I might add."

"He even saved mah, little sis," said Applejack.

"Mine as well," said Rarity. Must be Sweetie Belle sister.

"And Scootaloo," said yellow pegues spoke. Well, that confirms it. Must be Scootaloo mother or guardian...

"That doesn't prove anything." The cyan Pegasus spoke with confidence as she lands on the ground in front the group. "Anypony can do that." Oh really, I would like to see you try. You know what, I'm gonna call you Skittles.

"First off, we are not gonna drag him. Secondly, not 'anypony' can do that unless they know what they're doing. Thirdly, he has risked his own life to save the filles." Twilight said to skittles. I got closer to where I was almost directly behind skittles but still hidden.

"Well, he certainly can't be stronger than us. Well, hay, I could even take him down, single handling," said Skittles, feeling confident.

"I wouldn't be to sure about that." Skittles yelps and turns around to face me. She goes into shock and becomes silent as she stumbles backward and was about to fall, but I prevent it by grabbing her arm. "Woah easy now, you don't want a concussion now, do ya?" I let go of her arm. They all were in complete shock and loss for words except for Applejack.

I spoke with amusement. "What? — Is it something I said?" Facing Applejack. "Applejack."

Applejack smiled. "Hey, sugarcube."

"How you been?" I ask her.

"Ah'm doin' well — You?"

"Not bad." Then I change my tune to concern. "How are the filles?"

"They're doin' well." I smile. This warms my heart.

"That's very good to hear. How's Sweetie Belle injury?"

Rarity speaks up, getting my attention. "Her injury is doing well, darling."

"That's good to hear. You must be Sweetie Belle sister, right"

"Yes, I am. I'm Rarity and it's a pleasure to finally meet you." She offers her hand which I took off my armor gloves, shaking hands. Talks like a lady as well, but damn. I never knew ponies have soft hands. I wonder it's a same for stallions as well.

"It's nice to meet you, Miss. Rarity."

"Please darling, call me Rarity."

"Okay Rarity, I'm Joseph."

She used both of her hands, holding tight in my right hand. She looks into my eyes, I can see tears forming. "I wanted to say is thank you. Thank you so much darling for saving Sweetie Belle." Rarity smiles and I smile in response. She lets go of my hands and bring her up to her chest. "How can I ever repay you?"

I shook my head. "You don't owe me anything."

She is stunned at my statement. "That's preposterous, I must at least owe you something."

I shake my head again. "You don't need to, I'm just glad that I was able to save them just in time." She smiles. Then Twilight walks up to me.

Twilight spoke with a hint of excitement and nerves. "You are Joseph, Joseph Orlov the 'human.'" Skittles snicker at my last name. This catches my attention, but I ignore it.

I answered her question. "The one and only." I remove my helmet to reveal my face. By the look on their faces, all them except Applejack was stunned.

I hear Rarity whispered to herself. "On my…"

"And you are?" I ask Twilight.

This catches lavender attentions. "Oh, where are my manners. I'm Twilight, Twilight Sparkle." She offers her hand, so I took it, we shook hands. Well, that's a nice name and damn you have soft fur.

I smile. "It's nice to meet you, Miss. Sparkle."

"Please call me Twilight.

"Okay, Twilight."

"And these are my friends."

Skittles speaks up, "I'm Rainb-"

In a blink of an eye, the yellow pegasus rushes towards me and somehow pushes me to the ground with her on top of me which it surprises me and everypony else. Her face hovering over mine. She bombards me with questions. "A human, I never have seen a human before. What do your species like, I mean vegetables and is your spe-"

"Fluttershy!" Twilight shouts at her getting her attention. Fluttershy looks at Twilight then back at me. Only to blush deeply to realize what she just did.

"Sorry." Fluttershy gets off of me and takes couple steps back. "I don't know what came over me." She looks away hiding her face in embarrassment. Bringing her hands close to her chest. She spoke quietly, "I hope I didn't hurt you."

I stood back up and look at her. I smile and spoke softly to ease her. "It's alright and as you can see here." She looks at me. "I'm not hurt in any way."

I take a step forward towards her. "I'm Joseph." I offer my hand. She looks at it but seems unsure. "Hey." She looks at me. "I don't bit."

She smiles and shakes my hand. "I'm Fluttershy it's nice to meet you, Joseph. But again I am sorry."

"Don't worry about it."

She looks straight into my eyes and spoke with concerned. "Are you sure?"

I nod in response with a smile. "Yes, I'm perfectly fine."

She smiles as well. "Okay."

"As I-" Skittles tries to talk only to be interrupted by the pink mare.

"Hi, there!" The pink mare gets in my face in an instant with a huge smile showing her teeth making me open my eyes wide. "I'm Pinkie Pie and it's fantastic to meet you!" Pinkie Pie spoke with an excitement. She grabs my hand, shaking it a rapidly which shaking me little. She is quite hyperactive. Pinkie Pie continues talking, "When I heard that there was a 'human' here at Sweet Apple Acres, I was like (deep gasp, opens her mouth wide open). Y'see I've never seen human which means I never saw you before and if I've never saw you before that means you're new, 'cause I know everypony, and I mean everypony in Ponyville! Y'see, since you already met Applejack and her family." Wow, for a pony she sure talks a lot. "I wanted to meet you too and wanted to throw you a welcome to Ponyville party, but you were already gone when I got there. It made me sad, I wanted to find you and bring you to Ponyville, but my friends didn't want me to because it would be dangerous going after you at night. So I waited all night long and morning to finally meet you and here I am." She finishes it with a smile on her face.

I smile back. "That's quite a story and It's fantastic to meet you too, Pinkie Pie."

"Thank you."

"Again, as I was saying." Skittles spoke sounding annoyed getting my attention, but her tone changes to pride and heroic, bringing her hands to her waist. "I'm Rainbow Dash!" And known as skittles! Pointing at herself with her thumb. "The fastest flyer of all Equestria." Applejack rolls her eyes at her statement. "I'm so fast that I can clear the sky in 10 seconds flat." 10 seconds?! Bullshit!

"Well, it's nice to meet you." I offer a handshake which she accepts it.

I change my tune to more serious. "I have a feeling you all are not just here to thank me?"

"Well me and my friends are here to welcome you to Ponyville, so we are hoping to get to know you a little more about you, your kind, and show you around town," Twilight said with a smile and the others as well. Really!?

"There will even be a PARTY!" Pinkie Pie jumps into the air as she spoke with a huge smile. Wow. These ponies are really nice and all, but I can't.

"That's really… nice of you all… but I'm gonna pass." Their smiles disappear. "Well, I must be on my way," I said to them as I put on my helmet and gloves. "Have a good day ladies. And tell the filles, I said hi." With that, I turn around and started to walk away from them. Then I felt a hand on me, preventing me going any further. I look to my right to see Rainbow Dash.

"Not so fast. We didn't come all this way for nothing," said Rainbow Dash, sounding serious.

"Well sorry to disappoint you and everyo-pony else, but I must be on my way. Good day." With that, I shrug off her hand and continued on.

"Oh no, you don't."

"Rainbow Dash, what are yo-" Twilight tries to stop her.

"You're not going anywhere or I'll-."

Instantly, I stop in my tracks and face Rainbow Dash. "Or what? — Stop me or how would you put it, 'drag my flank' if I wasn't convinced."

She's stun. "How would you know that?"

"I overheard your conversations when you gals entered this area."

Rainbow Dash is angered now. "You have been spying on us!" Nooo…

"Correcting, I was only observing. A careful… observation."

"That is still spying!" I don't have time for this!

"Whatever you say skittles." With that, I turn around and started to walk away.

"What did you just called me?"

"You heard me."

"Oh! That's it!" I hear Rainbow Dash running up behind me. She is very perseverance.

"Rainbow Dash!" Applejack speaks up and I hear her going after her.

"Now wait just a second!" Please don't do what I think you're gonna do.

"Rainbow Dash, stop!" Twilight yells. Hearing foot steps, indicating that they're going after her.

"You should listen to your friend," I said to her. Giving her a warning, hoping she would back off.

"You're not going anywhere!" Rainbow Dash grabs my right arm with that I instantly use my right arm to grab her arm, I twisted it, turning her around, putting her right arm behind her back, and faces her towards her friends which stopping them in their tracks. This brings fear into their eyes. I feel Rainbow Dash breathing heavily. Why did you had to do that?

"Look, I don't want to be bothered — I don't want any trouble — I just want to be left alone." I spoke calmly. Letting her go. She turns around and stares at me. She goes into a fighting stance and was about to say something, but Applejack steps in front of her.

"That's enough!" Applejack shouts with a stern voice and crosses her arms.

Rainbow Dash objects. "But he st-" Only to be interrupted by Applejack which she yells at Rainbow Dash.

"Ah don't give a hoof!" Rainbow Dash is shocked. "We told ya not to and yet ya go off do exactly what we told ya not to do!" Again, Rainbow Dash was about to object, but Applejack interrupts her. "Ah don't wanna hear a peeping out of ya. Do Ah make myself clear." With that Rainbow Dash head bows and backs off. Applejack looks at me. "Sorry about that, Joseph."

"No worries, I apologize for my actions as well. — Well, I must be on-" I said as I was about to turn away, but only to be stopped.

"Wait!" I look back at her, only to see the worry in her expression. "You can't survive here on your own."

"On the contrary, I could easily survive here," I said to them.

"Well, you certainly don't have to live in this horrible place," said Rarity.

"Instead you could live in Ponyville with us," said Twilight.

"Where it's peaceful — everypony is nice and kind," said Fluttershy.

"There will be balloons, cakes, and PARTIES," said Pinkie Pie.

"And adventures as well," said Rainbow Dash, getting all of our attention. I stare each of them. That… is something... But I cannot go through it again. not again. I gotta get out of here!

"(sign) Look, I-"

SNAP!

It sounded like a piece of stick breaking. It came from my right so all of us instantly turn towards to see bushes. I looked at my radar to see three dots so I pulled my rifle out. Please, it's not Timberwolves. Fluttershy hid behind of Applejack and ask.

"W-what i-is it?" She stutters in fear.

"Ah don't know, sugarcup" Applejack spoke. My head turns to the others.

"Stay put, be ready for anything." They nod so I turn back. I took couple steps forward getting closer to the target.

As I got closer, I could hear whispers. "Show yourself, NOW!" I yelled. I wait couple seconds to see three small figure standing up and coming out of the bushes.

To my surprise, it's the same three filles that I saved yesterday.

Sweetie Belle came out first with a nervous smile. She spoke nervously. "Hi."

"Sweetie Belle!" Rarity yells with anger. Applebloom came out, wave nervously, and smile.

"Applebloom!" Applejack yells with anger as well. Damn, they yell quite loud.

"Hey big sis," Applebloom spoke. Then Scootaloo came out last.

"Scootaloo!" Fluttershy spoke with anger.

"Hey," Scootaloo said.

Applejack crosses her arms and spoke with anger. "What in tarnation, ya filles doin' here? Don't you realize this place is dangerous."

Fluttershy speaks, "Especially for filles for your age."

Twilight speaks up, "what are you filles even doing out here anyway?"

"Yeah, don't you gals realize that it's not safe here," said Rainbow Dash.

Applebloom speaks up, "We just wanted to help ya, fellahs."

"You filles almost died!" Shouted Twilight. The filles looked down.

Sweetie Belle looks back up, mainly at me. "We… just wanted to see you…" The rest of the filles looks at me.

I rub my forehead. "(sign) Look I-"

"TWITCHY, TWITCHY, TWICHA, TWITCH!" Pinkie Pie twitching like crazy. The rest of the ponies frowns and starts to shake.

"Oh no!" Rainbow Dash speaks up without sounding frightened. "Oh no!?" What do you mean oh no?

"What is it Pinkie Pie," Twilight ask her with worry.

Pinkie Pie body is twitching like she has fleas. "Something bad is GONNA happen!"

"What do you mean something bad is gonna happen?" I ask, starting to get worried by that statement.

Applejack looks at me and response. "When Pinkie Pie gets the twitch, it means something is gonna happen."

Pinkie Pie speaks up sounding like vibration. "Something's coming!" I frown at her own statement.

My eyes shot open wide open by the sound of my radar beeping. My eyes became drawn to it. I see three dots on it coming from behind me. "Pinkie is right." This gets their attention. I turn towards the source, pulled out my rifle, and aim it. "Something IS coming and its heading right for ours." Concern appears on the ponies faces.

(3rd Person View)

Twilight asks Joseph, "Wha-"

THUMB!

All of them stood still, leaving fear on their faces. "Get the filles and yourselves out of here! ASAP!" I shouted at them. The ground kept on shaking. Branches snapping and trees falling over. One fell near the mares causing the mares to flinch while Fluttershy yelps which she hides behind Applejack. Three large figures started to appearing.

"What in tarnation!" Applejack spoke. Joseph turns to the mares and the filles.

Joseph speaks in a low tone, sounding a whole different person. "You should have never came here!" He turns back to the source. As the figures getting closer and closer, resembling some kind of a rock figure.

Before they the ponies could react, another tree falls down nearly landing on Applejack and Fluttershy which causing Fluttershy to yell louder. The ponies are shocked. Fluttershy still hides behind Applejack and starts to tears up. Applejack stands her ground but is shaken up a bit.

Rainbow Dash takes a step back and speaks up, "Is that a…" Rainbow Dash is a loss for words. Rarity slowly walks back towards her little sister and the filles.

Twilight is shaken and knowing how dangerous these creatures are. "Titans!" Three giants made of rocks and having glowing green eyes, emerges from the forest. They stood 25 feet tall. Naming them Titan 1, 2, 3. From the left to the right.

Pinkie Pie said, "Oh muffins!"

"Get out of here!" Joseph shouts at the ponies. Titan 3 looks at the ponies. Joseph turns his head at the ponies seeing them not running away. "NOW!" This gets their attention.

Titan 3 makes a step towards them with that he pulls the trigger, shooting it at Titan 3. The bullets do little damage, instead, it makes it angered. It turns its attention to Joseph. Titan 3 grabs a nearby tree and throws it, Joseph, throwing it like a spear. Joseph dodges it with ease by rolling to the left.

While Titan 2 throws another tree, but at the ponies instead. Twilight's horn glows and creates a force field, blocking the tree. She looks back at the others. "Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie get the filles out of here, now."

Pinkie salutes, "Okie-dokie-lokie." With that she turns to Fluttershy, seeing her hiding still. "Come on Fluttershy." She tugs on Fluttershy which it gets her attention and follows Pinkie Pie.

"Sweetie Belle speaks up, "but-" Only to be interrupted by Twilight. Joseph's shoots again at Titan 3 again.

"This not the time! Go!" Twilight shouts at the filles. Titan 1 walks towards Joseph, attempting to crush him with its fist, but instead he jumps into the air, doing a back-flip, and lands on his knees and hands.

Pinkie Pie gets the filles attention, "We gotta go!" With that the filles follow Pinkie Pie with Fluttershy coming behind them, getting to safety.

Joseph runs up to Titan 1. Pulling out his sword attempting to cut its leg off, only to be kicked by Titan 2, sending him flying, hitting a tree with his back. Landing the ground. The ponies are shocked. As the three giants get closer to Joseph, the ponies see this.

Applejack pulls out her rope and said to Rainbow Dash. "Rainbow Dash, Ah'm gonna rope 'em while you get Joseph out of there." She nods. Applejack swings her rope with a hoop in the air, she throws and ropes Titan 3's head. She pulls as hard as she can, only to be drug through the dirt. Titan 3 takes notice so it grabs the rope. "N-" Applejack gets tug hard and thrown at a tree, hitting hard against it.

Rainbow Dash is shocked. "APPLEJACK!" Shouted the ponies. In a flash, she swoops in to save her and struggles to carry her to safety. But manages to get her away from the battle. Lands next to Rarity and Twilight, this worries them. "Applejack…" The ponies start to tear up.

"Rainbow Dash, Rarity, get Applejack out of here."

"What!" Shouted Rainbow Dash and Rarity.

"Are you crazy, you can't fight them by yourself! It's suicide!" Shouted Rainbow Dash.

"I know, but we can't leave Joseph to die and Applejack needs medical attention. I have to try." I said.

"Twilight-" said Rarity, but gets interrupted by Twilight.

"There's no time, go!" Shouted Twilight. With that both Rarity and Rainbow Dash nod and carries Applejack to safety. Leaving Twilight alone.

Twilight sends a fire bolt of magic at the Titans, covering them in fire, but it does little damage. This gets their attention. She sends another wave using the same spell. Titan 1 grabs a boulder from the ground leaving a hole and throw sit at the ponies. Twilight sends a beam of light at the boulder making it explode into pieces. The debris misses her. She sends another one at them causing a cloud of smoke and dust covering the area. Silence filled the area.

(1st person view - Twilight)

I pant heavily nearly falling to my knees. I used most as I see the smoke clears, only to see piles of red-hot steaming rocks. I smiled in victory. Thank Celestia I read the-

My train of thought was interrupted by the sound of rocks coming back to together. I stood there in fear as I see the Titans, literally rebuilding themselves. I see bright green is glowing around the rocks. All three Titans stood still like nothing happen, this frightens me.

"That's impossible…" I mumbled, feeling disbelief.

All three of them stares at me, giving me the death stare. They started to walk towards me so I ran only to trip and fall onto my knees. I used up most of my energy, I couldn't run, even for my own life. I face them and crawled backward, eventually finding myself against a rock. I became in a state of shock. Tears forms in my eyes. Soon they were standing almost right over me. All I could do is look up and cry. Is this the end…

"HEY!" shouted Joseph, getting the Titans attention than mine. I look at him, standing next to some sort of green metal wagon and holding a metal tube on his shoulder. "Why don't you pick on somebody your own size."

BOOOM

I flinch, covered my face, and closed my eyes as a large explosion mixed with fire hits the Titans in front of me. All I could hear was a sound of a ringing. I feel the force of wind coming at me making my clothing and my hair to tousle. Then a puff of smoke covers my view and surrounds me, unable to see anything. I started to cough so I covered my mouth and squinting my eyes. Can't see… can't hear… can't breathe…

I feel a pair of clod metal and cloth hands pick me up and carried me away, I became in shock. Once we were clear, out of the smoke. I find myself being carried in a bridal style by Joseph. I blush, I have never been carried like this before or even by a stallion. I wrap my arms around his neck so I don't fall off.

Then I hear trees snapping and crashing down, I look over his shoulder to see the Titans chasing us, I became very frightened. "Joseph."

"I know." Surprisingly, he spoke calmly. As he carried me, we jumped over logs and ran through bushes.

"Joseph do you have a plan?"

"Negative, I was hoping you might have one."

Then out of nowhere, a tree lands in front of us. I look around, hoping to find an exit until I saw an opening showing Ponyville. An idea pop into my head. The Elements of Harmony! "Joseph, there. It's Ponyville." He looks were I was pointing at. "If we get there, me and my friends could use the Elements of Harmony defecting the-" Than a Titan stood in our path, holding a tree like a baseball bat. It swings it at us, but we manage to dodge it. I yelp. We ran the opposite direction. "Wait! Ponyville is that way!" I shouted.

"I know."

"Then why are we going the wrong way."

"Do you wanna try to go around that thing and besides the last we need is leading them to Ponyville, we have to lose them." We ended up, finding ourselves running into a dead end. In front of us is a rock wall. He spun us around to see the Titans, coming closer. "Twilight, do you know a spell that will get us the hell out of here?" asked Joseph.

I nod. "Yes."

"Can you used it to getting us out of here?"

"Yes, but I'm not sure if I have enough energy performing the spell."

He looks around until his head is fixed to his left. I look at that direction as well to see a small opening showing a cliff. He ran towards it. Then we stop at the edge of a cliff. I look down to see a river. I tighten my grip on him. He looks behinds his shoulder. I can hear the ground shook louder by the second.

"How long?" Before I could answer the question, I froze as the ground stops shaking. I see Titans standing behind Joseph, blocking any path of escaping. "They're right behind us, aren't they?" I couldn't talk so I slightly nodded instead. He turned us around facing the Titans as my head is fixed to them.

(1st person view - Joseph)

All three of them slowly walked towards us. I feel her tightening on me. I look around to see a are two options. One, we fight, but twilight is in no condition to fight and cutting them up into pieces won't work either. Even it gives us some time, but I can't risk it leading these Titans to Ponyville, lives would be at risk. The second option is jumping off the cliff into the water, I didn't like the idea of risking Twilight's life, but I didn't see any other way.

"Twilight. I have an idea, but you're not gonna like it."

"What is it?"

"We're gonna have to jump off the cliff," I said this as I turned us around, facing the the cliff.

She stares at me in disbelief. "Are you crazy!"

I look back at her. "You got a better idea."

"N-no."

"Okay then. Here we GO!"

"Wait I'm not READY!" We jumped off the cliff. All I could hear is Twilight screaming top of her lungs. As we fall, I position my back facing the river and wrapping my arms around her waist so she doesn't get injured. Okay, crazy world; check. Talking animals; check. Dangerous creatures made of rocks and wood; check. No other humans; check. Let see. Anything else. Hmm… oh yeah, Twilight screaming into my ear; check!

I hope you enjoy reading this because I had fun making it, but the fighting scene was difficult to deal with. Especially the dialogues. I spent a month trying to figure out and studying the MLP dialogues. I overdid Applejacks accent dialogues so I went back and fix it and change it to the MLP dialogues style. Also if you guys think my dialogue needs some work or I did something out of character then feel happy to criticize my work. Any kind of review is helpful, especially for me as a writer. Anyways see you next time on Becoming Human Again.
