A New Update: 3/18/2022
I still plan on continuing the story, but I've been constantly going back to old chapters to fix grammer errors.
I have never lost intrest in this project and I hope to get back to writing the newest chapter soon.
I hope you find what you're looking for here, thanks in advance for reading.
Updated: 7/25/2020
The title is massive attempt at being direct and straight to the point, don't pay heed to it too much. This is me now in 03/3/2019 realizing that, that damn title has been alive for three fucking years. But that piece of text below me is 2 years old. Just going down memory lane.
This is my first fanfic, so criticism is always allowed. I will try my best to excite my readers, and give them what they want, while sticking to what I like. So I hope you all enjoy the story. Thanks.
I haven't seen or read any MLP fanfic that involved violence, a badass charcter, Kamehameha and some adult related themes. So I took a stab at it and this is what came out. I hope you all enjoy and yes this is rated M for a reason, so expect some mature themes. Also all charcters except OC's are Hasbro's property, I don't want a CEO giving me shit about how I stole a character. Yes, the story begins like most adventures but I left out the cheesy fuck-boy intro. Expect a few Dragon Ball and anime references.
And now…the story!
#1
"A new life begins from the ashes of a soul lost to the harsh reality of cause and affect, and destiny. Pry the eyes open to the new world, make your presence…"
After what felt like my body had faded from existence and came back, I was slowly gaining consciousness. I could move my fingers and open my mouth, yet with difficulty. I couldn't remember when I lost consciousness or how it happened.
My face was still under the weariness of my mysterious unconsciousness. My breathing followed a slow rhythm and my eyes refused to open just yet. Despite all the confusion, I felt at peace with myself, like I had forgotten all the negatives in life, my thoughts were a river flowing. Funny, I feel like I should be depressed about something right now, but something was keeping me from far from it. Whatever it is, I want it to stay and never leave.
Actually, I want to see it.
In Ponyville, the day was going as usual, no trouble to fend off or any bothersome enemies to teach a lesson to. That is unless Dash could suddenly be considered one. Twilight had managed to somehow cross paths with Dash on the way to help a friend in need. What ensued was nonstop ranting about her friends' fitness, which has by now caused a few touched nerves.
"So, you, being all alicorn, should try out some of these!" Dash cheerfully encouraged, not once considering how obviously annoying she had become.
Of course, Twilight would be the next victim after Fluttershy; she was the closest set of wings next to Fluttershy. Ever since Dash got her hooves on a book of wing exercises, provided by Twilight herself, she just became a part-time fitness coach for her and Fluttershy.
Twilight sighed in agony. Both the heat of the day and Dash's excessive talking were getting to her. "How about you go tell Fluttershy about this again? I think I got the point. Better yet, how about Applejack?" She said trying her best to hide her frustration, but still wanting to hint at it. "Anyways, I got plenty of spells to help me out, I don't need any exercises to improve my wings Dashie, thanks anyway."
Dash blinked aimlessly before chuckling nervously as she scratched the back of her head with her hoof. "Uh…I think she's heard enough out of me. I think I might be pushing it too hard on her or something…" She nervously giggled. Oh? Twilight looked back with a smirk, feeling the opportunity to dig back at Dash open up.
"You think?" She asked being smug about it. As much as Twilight expected that to hit, she was surprised when Dash remained straight faced and agreed.
"Yeah, she doesn't like the stretching positions, says they're "too exposing and inappropriate", whatever that means?" She shrugged as she landed down on the dirt path that led to Fluttershy's animal condo which was vacant of any animals considering it was a special time of the year. Apparently, Fluttershy's paranoia was getting to her due to the excessive growling of presumed Timber Wolves in the distance, and she feared that somepony or creature might have been trapped within Everfree. Now, Twilight and Dash were on their way to see their frightened friend and company.
Twilight stared at a Dash after that last poor imitation of Fluttershy's quiet voice, fully convinved she didn't need the workout after hearing how Fluttershy was treated. Although, now she had to stop Dash from being so…physical with her workouts; tis the season in which ponies go on honeymoons and do their hidden acts, last thing she needed was to have Fluttershy acting like most mares do this time of year. Twilight shivered at the idea.
"Dashie, these are the times of the year in which most mares are sensitive of their bodies, that goes for us and Fluttershy too, so please don't be so…physically demanding to ponies, you might just trigger-
"A leakage?" Dash asked with a smug grin, cutting Twilight off with no shame in her response.
"A leakage?" Twilight asked back. There was a split-second silence that made the already amused Dash smile wider and made Twilight freeze with a red aura surrounding her cheeks.
"D-DASHIE!" Twilight called, blushing as she looked away, too dumbfounded to say anything else. Dash laughed at her reaction; she found her joy in teasing Twilight most of the time, especially when it came to embarrassing things, it always got that cute response from her.
"Come on Twilight, you and me both know we don't have a guy buddy, well, sort of! But you know what I mean!" Dash giggled being open about it. A topic which she didn't have to worry about because she didn't need one at the moment. "We don't need one right now, or at least I don't."
As much as Twilight would have liked to have raged her name out once more, she couldn't just let her be so optimistic about such a serious topic. They may still be friends, but sooner or later, life will have a way of affecting relationships, that might just be through another stallion or affair.
"But what if that changes!?" Twilight asked firmly stopping her walk.
"Oh?" Dash stopped before a daring smirk reaped over her blush, she used her wing to pull Twilight in closer physically and neared her mouth over her stiffened ear. Dash giggled directly into her erect ear, causing her fur to stand on end.
"If that ever happens, I'll be sure to share. Sharing is caring!"
Twilight's muzzle wrinkled up in embarrassment as she shoved Dash away and making her airborne. "DASHIE! WE'RE STILL NOT THERE YET!" She exclaimed, bright red with embarrassment as Dash laughed.
"And still, we're not in heat! So, happy days, right!?" Twilight asked, a bit out of her mind.
Dash paused her laughter and gave her a glance of her devilish eyes as she put a hoof under her grin. "No heat? Maybe because you begged Cadence to get rid of it when it began?" She said, reminding Twilight of the reason they can't enjoy "heat."
"O-oh…" Twilight looked away, not denying she did such, but only because it was new and frightening when it happened, and as far as this season goes, she hasn't asked Cadence to redo the spell. "Don't be like that, it was frightening when it first happened." She defended herself in a gentle voice.
Dash lifted an eyebrow curiously as she recalled her experience with this so-called heat. It wasn't like Twilight described at all, but it was unique.
"Really? I thought it was hot like heck, I couldn't stop sweating, not to mention breathing was a bit harder." Dash giggled.
"THAT'S NOT HEAT, THAT'S THE AFFECT OF A WORKOUT!" Twilight yelled making Dash jump into the air before freezing at a set of words entering her now stiff ears.
"Now what are y'all talkin' about?"
Dash looked down at Applejack before floating down with a smile as Twilight joined with her own smile, trying to hide her blush. They hadn't realized they arrived at their location with the verbal scuffle. Pinkie Pie jumped ahead of Applejack followed by Rarity, then Fluttershy.
"If I'd known you would've strolled, I could have brought some entertainment!" Pinkie pouted playfully before getting Twilight's apology. She quickly forgave her with a smile.
"A few minutes late, but that not a lot now is it? Good morning darling." Rarity greeted with a smile before looking at Dash. "And certainly not to you!"
Another victim of Dash's.
"What!? I try to help you get in shape and this is how you repay me!?"
"Shape!? That's an insult!"
Applejack strongly cleared her throat as she turned the attention to Fluttershy.
"Umm…" Fluttershy nervously rubbed her hooves together as Twilight turned to her. "Oh yes! The problem!" Twilight mentioned making Fluttershy nod.
"Yes, and please don't think I'm crazy, but I went in earlier and I'm pretty sure I heard something groan from inside…in pain." Fluttershy gently whispered, hoping she wasn't being annoying after having mentioned her worries over nine times this morning. Twilight smiled as shook her head. "Not at all, we're here to help you, and whoever could be in there."
Fluttershy smiled, grateful for her friends. "Thanks."
"Ah, good ol' Everfree, doesn't look like we can stay away from you, does it?" Dash asked, personifying the forest as she stared into the infinite darkness created just by staring at it. Twilight sighed as she stepped up to grab Dash's attention.
"No, but here we are…let's think of plan!" Twilight suggested, turning to the group leaving Dash to face the forest alone. Dash turned around to join the party, but she never did get to fully return to the group. The world became slow for a moment and suddenly every tiny sound was easily sensible. Dash slowly turned back.
"Wha…" She thought as she quickly looked around, the world was actually moving slow. Suddenly, she turned to the forest. Something had grabbed her attention, she didn't know what it was, but it had her ears standing straight and her wings slightly tensed.
"Dash?" Twilight asked, realizing she hadn't followed. Everyone's attention turned to Dash as she remained hypnotized, staring into the darkness that was slowly emitting signs of an apparition. Twilight cleared her throat and called for Dash again but the only respond she got was Dash's wings expanding slowly.
"…my head…"
"A VOICE!" Dash's eyes widened as she rapidly stiffened her wings and rushed inwards to the forest, hearing a voice that sounded pained, if not hurt. There was no time for a plan, when things came to Dash. Twilight quickly jumped as well, after Dash that is.
"I hear somepony!"
"DASHIE, WAIT!" Twilight yelled trying to use her magic to stop Dash, but she was long gone before she could do anything.
I could hear the sound of distant birds chirping and feel wind gently hitting my face as I began opening my eyes at last. I laid with my back against the ground and my face facing the sky, if it was visible that is. I still haven't found the reason for being like this or to explain where I am. I'm usually more responsible for my wellbeing. I looked to my sides weakly before rubbing the laziness out of my face and placing hands to the ground.
"What the hell…?" I groaned, carefully lifting myself off the ground. My body felt weak and somewhat exhausted, which was strange considering I don't remember ever doing anything that would waste me this badly, and I'm not well known as a drinker or abuser of anything for that matter. I slowly looked around, studying my environment; it was a forest, a dark and dingy forest, a thick tree line everywhere I looked, followed by an eerie silence. The only thing heard was the ever-peaceful sound of nature surrounding me and isolating me. I was uneasy and sweating cold, there didn't appear to be civilization anywhere I looked, let alone anything familiar to give me relief.
"Where…am I?" I quickly darted my eyes around to see if I could at least get a glimpse of a nearby home or shelter, something to let me know I was somewhere safe; nothing but a thick, dark tree line. "Where am I!?" I asked the forest, but only received my own haunting echo.
I spun around a few times making sure I was correct about being alone. I was and I was lost too. Despite not knowing where I was before, I could swear I wasn't in a forest last time I was awake, even if my head was all misty at the moment. It didn't make sense, what the hell would I be doing in a forest? I cupped my hands around my mouth and inhaled deeply.
"HELLO! ANYONE AROUND!? I'M LOST!"
I had hoped to attract anyone out of this nightmare-inducing forest. No one appeared, I expected such. I looked around again, taking in the thickness of the air, which was like swallowing boiling water. "Damn, how did I even…?" I asked, soon realizing that talking to myself wouldn't help.
I let out a sigh as I tightened my fists to ease my mind and get a feel for my body. All I could do was think of a way to get out of this endless place. The logical man would do so and luckily for me there seemed to be two options available.
Climbing a tree. I tried to at least. It was odd but it seemed the moment I put hands on a tree the world around me shifted. The moment I let go, it seemed to become normal again. Was my sanity messing with me?
I did my little routine again, looking everywhere, just to make sure, before coming to terms. There was an open patch of tree lining to my left and another one to my right, both equally dim and mysterious. I evenly judged each one before making up my mind.
"Shit…" I cursed under my breath, swinging one way and beginning to walk to the right. As stupid as it was, my only reasoning was based off the politics I remember those around me would discuss. Thinking about it now, it had me vaguely remembering something or someone; I couldn't make it out in my head.
I shook away the confusion and focused on going forward with my choice.
I went about hoping my choice would lead out of this forest, it wasn't smart but it would lead somewhere for sure. I walked deeper into the path I took, never considering what was to the other patch of tree opening. I walked till the conclusion hit: this forest was abnormally terrifying. There were so many trees it was darker than the night in here, a thick air lingered that gently strangled me, and this place made the perfect scene for a few specific crimes. I wouldn't be surprised if I come to find eyes following me or have something jump out of the bushes, just trying to get the jump on me: I won't be letting it happen though.
I never kept count of how long I had been walking, distracted by the wonder of how I ended up lost. Was I drunk? Did I have a mental collapse? Was I kidnapped? Of all those, only one made sense to me.
"Geesh…I must have been really out of it-
I heard the snapping of sticks and twigs behind me and stiffened completely. I quickly looked back but nothing was there. "Right…" I eased focus back to my path and upgraded my walk a bit. I wasn't alone and the forest was becoming dimmer to my dismay.
I didn't know what to focus on more, getting out of this forest or defending myself. No matter where I turned, it always seemed my back was towards a danger.
I walked to the point that the forest was choking on the last bit of visibility it had. I began using the last bit of visibility I had to avoid anything and accept the fact I had lost myself, this wasn't the result I expected. And as if I didn't feel stupid enough having chosen this way, I managed to run into a tree in my lost state. "Damn…" I cursed at the tree line that blocked my path. Realizing this wouldn't lead out and with a shaken head, I sent a punch for the tree but stopped myself, avoiding crippling my hand, although, that punch felt oddly charged up, awakening me a bit more. I sighed and regained my composure.
"Should've gone left…damn it!" I yelled before something rustled behind me.
I stared at the tree line blocking my path before snarls slowly emerged from behind. Now what the hell is that!?
"Hmm?" I hummed out casually as I turned back to where I was coming from and surely not to my surprise, I confirmed my suspicion. I was being followed, although it was by three pairs of beady-glowing eyes. Well, shit. I stared at the eyes, curious about the source, before morphing it to utter shock as three wolf-like figures appeared, growling and closing in on me. I stared for a while, just idle with my face more than likely showing showing my disbelief.
"What the hell are you supposed to be?!" I asked in an aggressive whisper as I took note of the wolf-like appearances with wooden bodies. Woodland creatures? I slowly took a step in the opposite direction and they took one as well.
A danger?
Definitely. The three beasts were closing in closer every second as I remained idle. I might have been a bit motivated to back off, if I wasn't alone that is. I reached for my side and patted myself looking for a defense of any kind. A metallic sound clinked and I placed my hand around the firm and present handle.
A small jolt of adrenaline suddenly ran straight into my arm as I slowly pulled on it.
I sighed in relief and to grow some confidence, I showed off a tempting, although not confident, smile across my face as I slowly unsheathed the three-foot blade out of its hold. I straightened my upper body, getting myself ready and aiming the hazardously sharp blade at the beasts. They snarled in annoyance as I slowly backed away step after step, keeping them at bay with the weapon.
"Trying to eat me won't end well…if that's what you do…" I warned in a whisper, trying to ward them off but they were not in the mood, they growled louder as expected from such a stupid idea. I already had my weapon out, and all of them in visible areas. Handling feral creatures is all about not letting them get your neck and letting their vulnerability be the opening to end it all.
It's child's play if you don't mind a few scratches. My back collided with a tree and that was the end my attempt to put distance between us.
I lifted an eyebrow as my toothy grin showed. "I guess this will be your end, Abominations." I chuckled as flicked the wrist holding the sword. Almost immediately, one of them charge followed by its company.
I've dealt with creatures worse than woodland creatures and killing wasn't an issue in itself, so I had all I needed as I gripped on fast to my decision.
I quickly opened my eyes wide to see as much as I could in this dark plane as the one who charged, leaped off the ground to attack with its jaw wide open. Even if it's a near shadow, my hand quickly swung from one side of my body to the other and back in the blink of an eye.
"What the…?!"
The creature fell into four pieces on the ground making the others stop and turn. I as well stared at my foe now in four peices. There were no guts, it was just a wooden body. We all shared a silence as I lifted my sword so I could look at the metal.
"Should've chose a diffent person to eat!" I yelled and before I knew it, the other two leaped from both of my sides, and I quickly swung my body around with the sword to the beast to my left, and quickly turned a full 360 to face the last one which had a straight line through its torso created by the silver blur I held in my hand. The creatures fell to the ground and scattered into pieces. I stood in place, still and breathless. I could see the circles the blur of the blade left as if it all had happened in under a second. I almost couldn't contain my thrill.
"That was-!"
I looked down at the peices of dead wooden wolves.
"Intresting…" I calmed myself down upon the realization. I knelt down and tried to make out what I was seeing.
"Is this real?"
My eyes didn't deceive me at first glance, these creatures were actually made of wood and sap by the looks of it. They didn't bleed or have organs, all that remained behind was a sticky sap they let out. I gulped and looked at the sword and rubbed off the sap on the ground. I quickly made the argument I was probably drunk, sleeping, or actually made a new discovery. I ran all the possibilities by pinching myself and then taking a few seconds balancing on one foot. All that was left was that I had discovered some new creature.
I caught my breath from the excitement and calmed down to think clearly, as exciting as it was, I was still lost in a forest that I had no recollection ending up in. My safety was first, not some creature I just killed in self-defense.
"Now…how do I get out of here?" I pondered out loud with my hand on my chin, hoping to come up with an idea out of the blue. Before any ideas could pop in my head-which I'm sure I could've thought of one-I heard few more twigs snap before a squeal, a girly one too.
"Wow-wow-wow-wow!" A feminine voice appeared from behind me.
"Who!? WHAT!?" My eyes widened and I quickly turned with the sword ready to strike from over my shoulder. Damn, I didn't expect there to be anyone here, now I might get fined for animal abuse...murder.
I quickly paused as I looked over my shoulder and saw how I was ready to swing down on anything. "Was I really about to…no, that was because I was startled!"
"S-sorry…" I apologized looking down at a small shadow that stared back at me, its slow movements talking me. It took a bit for my eyes adjust but I could see a small outline of a small creature. I squinted even more as I focused on what I was seeing and soon my eyes made it out. I quickly lost strength in my arms and my eyes slowly grew to painful limits.
"H-have I lost my mind!?"
It was a small, miniature, horse-like creature with wings: a Miniature Pegasus Thing: I really didn't know by this point. The pegasus had reacted negatively to my movements from earlier, with the sword and all, and backed up drastically with its wings fanned out. Definitely not a danger.
"E-easy…"
I lifted an eyebrow as my hands slowly began losing grip of the blade. Past the darkness it was hard to tell who was talking, but the voice definitely came in the direction of this winged creature.
"What is this?" I whispered seeing nothing else behind it. I let go of the grip of my blade letting it fall to the ground. I backed up an inch with my hands out to show I was not a menace to it. What the hell was I seeing!? Whatever I was seeing, it didn't seem harmful, I hope at least.
"Hey, I'm not gonna hurt you…" I backed up a little more to prove it. The pegasus lowered its wings but it didn't move from where it was. It listened and responded, so I played the same way and stayed put. What was I doing? I was trying to talk to a thing with wings. My mind was going back and forth on whether I was sane or just losing it. My pondering was cut short when the tiny thing oddly cleared its throat. I jumped a bit as I heard it and stared.
"O…kay, then…" She spoke before smiling out of the blue. "You've got some nice moves! But Fluttershy will definitely not like this at all…"
"Holy balls!" I screamed into my hand which had found its way over my mouth to cover for my yell.
That was the voice of a young female and kind of tomboyish if that's how I could describe it. I looked at her as she slowly moved forward. She got close enough for me to notice she had a rainbow pattern on her mane and on her tail, she had huge eyes with a magenta outline, and a strange symbol on her flank (hey…it stood out). I stared at her intensely as she moved even closer.
"Well, well, well. Am I really that surprising?" She asked with a smirk.
I lowered my hand from my mouth and swallowed my surprise along with anything else I felt. "What?" I asked, nervous without a doubt but hiding it behind a straight look and firm voice. I had to hide what I was feeling at the moment, there's just too much going on for me to just let it all out and lose my mind. Of course, I thought this was dream, but I had told myself before that this wasn't one and I had a problem arguing with myself. I got a hold of myself and took in a great deal of air.
"Are you real?"
"What kinda question is that!?" She yelled back and I leaned away a bit, surprised by her reaction. "Of course, I'm real! Look at me!"
"I can see that…" I said with a realization of what's going on. Seeing how she was the one in the right at the moment, my head switched my next question to a set of new words. "This shit is crazy…and I need to get out of here." I whispered to myself but impressively she heard my soft voice, which was suppose to be just for me.
"Oh yeah! I need to get you out now that I think about it!" She excitedly explained with an over excited leap. The questions only existed in my head.
"Uh…thanks…" I thanked despite slapping my head side to side on the inside. I don't know why I didn't react like I did in my mind, it must have something to do that small thing I was seeing, or the fact it was so hard to believe that I believed it.
"Um…are you lost or do you know how to get out?"
My eyes went to hers and I stared, lost in the thought that I was being asked such a question. I gulped and nodded. "I am, I woke up here…I don't know how I got here or how to get out."
She looked at me and studied me for a few seconds before laughing a bit.
"Alright, cool, prepare to be rescued!" She said without much else as she turned around.
I didn't know how to react, a talking pony, a strange forest, and crazy wolves. "Fuck it, let's go," I thought to myself as I nodded and gave the 'Okay' to move on out of this creepy forest; that was my priority from the start and still is. She nodded back and immediately took off, kicking up some grass and dust as she made all the trees sway. I blinked a few times, she took off like a bullet! My hair waved and my clothes violently flapped like a flag as she quickly disappeared into the forest. I stared before my mind clicked as my legs moved quicker than my mouth.
"What the-HEY, WAIT UP!" I had found my guide out the forest, and now she's leaving me? How nice.
I did my best to follow the speedster but it seemed she was way beyond any speed I've normally seen. I had to break into a full sprint to be able to at least keep her in my sight. I'm fast, but damn that speed is way out of my league.
"Hey, wait up! You're leaving me behind!" I yelled, waving my hand frantically. She braked and turned around, groaning in frustration. I stopped running and caught my breath with my hands on my knees, before she quickly appeared behind me with her hooves under my armpits, trying to carry me. Good luck. I'm not heavy but she was too small to carry me.
"Darn, you're too heavy!"
"You're too small!"
"That's not helping!"
She gave up on that idea and told me to try to keep up with her again. "Just follow me again, we're so close!" She ordered, and she quickly began moving again. This time I started sprinting the instant she took off, which did a world of difference despite her being obviously naturally quick with her aerial advantage. It was almost thirty seconds before she turned to look at me.
"Come on, we're almost there, Twilight and the others should be there!" She assured while facing me, and not the huge branch in front of her. I heard a slight knock as I yelled out "LOOK OUT!" too late. I looked away with a flinch and turned back to see the completely knocked out pony laying face up on the ground. How suddenly this happened. I stared for a while, thinking how the hell did that event just happen before quickly shaking my head.
"Hold on! I got ya!" I quickly rushed over to see how she was doing and knelt down beside her. I stared again for a moment, double checking that the small line of red wasn't just her rainbow-like hair, before the red grew thicker before my eyes.
"Oh shit…you really hit yourself!" I exclaimed. She had a small stream of blood stream down the side of her face, along with very faint breathing but that's better than no breathing at all. I frantically looked around for something to wrap her head with and decided to rip one shoulder sleeve from my t-shirt and use it to pressure and cover the wound, not like I needed the shirt anyways. As I applied the makeshift bandaging, the curiosity got to me: I felt the pony as I was placing the cloth around her head, her fur was soft and smooth, while soothingly warm equally, similar to petting a well groomed dog.
This was real…
Once I put the cloth in its place, I picked her up to carry her the rest of the way. If I could do anything now, it was get this strange irregular pony out of here.
"She mentioned a Twilight and others, that must mean more ponies, if I'm right?" I whispered to myself but was cut short when those growls reappeared from behind. More of these damned abominations from hell. I could easily have taken them out even if it was six more than before, but this little savior needed help, so I couldn't just waste time. I quickly turned and broke into another fast sprint and ran until I saw sunlight begin to break through the forest, never once thinking of what was chasing me from behind. It wasn't till I felt movement on my rib that I realized that the pony I was carrying was now conscious again and had her hooves around her mouth, and that we were still being chased by those wolves.
"HEY GUYS, WE'RE BEING CHASED BY TIMBER WOLVES, WATCH OUT!" She yelled out at the top of her lungs. So that's what they're called.
"Huh!?" I asked between pants as I saw the clearing and as expected but not any less surprising, more ponies come into view. The new ponies all held onto worried and shocked expressions as I neared them and slid into the ground where the sun hit warmly. I heard a snarl as I braked in front of these new beings, kicking up the dust, before I dropped the pony on the ground and reached for my sword. I rapidly drew it and quickly slashed one of the timber wolves who was easily dismembered before bringing it violently down on another, nailing it into the ground. A great silence arose. As the other wolves looked at me and those around behind.
They snarled and evacuated into the forest. They're gone, and by the looks of it, won't be back. Thankfully. I looked down at my sword and saw my reflection in it.
That's me…
It was if a bunch of realiztions occured as I pulled it out the metal out of the ground. I took a deep breath before quickly putting away my sword, kicking the remains of the wolfs back into the forest.
I kicked back the last wooden chunk before smirking as I rubbed the sap off my boot. "That'll teach'em to mess with…
Hearing a near squeal, I turned to see the extremely surprised and frightened ponies before I looked at myself.
"Us…"
What a horrible, but badass first impression. My thoughts seemed to be lost in the moment, and honestly, I loved the way it felt. The confidence to dominate anything and slay anything was flowing. Hopefully that attitude gets me through this without losing my mind.
How silently they stared at me. Were they scared? Disgusted? Surprised?
Was I being judged? I did just scare off some wolves, should I expect gratitude?
I looked down back at the forest, before suddenly flicking the switch to a light bulb in my head.
"Hey." I greeted, not once regretting the approach.
I looked at the colorful creatures before me with a friendly smile to calm them but they all seemed to be too terrified to accept my gesture. I wouldn't blame them.
"Y-you hurt them…"
My eyes descended upon a pony, a pretty sunshine yellow with a look fear overwhelming her. I put away the sword slowly, accidentally adding a bit to their fear.
I could feel my insides wanting to explode with questions but I was too confused to know what to ask, this awkward silence was starting to pain me.
"THAT WAS TOTALLY WICKED!" Exclaimed the blue pony I got to slightly know, which caught my attention and made me feel a little better knowing at least someone/pony admired my presence. Still, she added to how much I wanted to ask anything like: How are you talking? or WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS GOING ON!? Although, I restrained myself from asking such.
"DASH! WHO…WHAT IS THIS!?" Asked the purple one, I would ask the same of her but apparently, I'm the stranger here. She also had a feminine voice too, this pony wasn't like "Dash", she had a dark purple mane with a light pink strip going through it, same for her tail, her eyes were also had a purple outline. What stood out the most is that she had a combination of wings and a horn: I don't know what that is, never imagined things like this existed.
I don't know how I got the courage but I managed to clear my throat and chuckle a bit.
"I think I can introduce myself," I spoke up getting their attention instantly. They all looked female: Mares, If I'm not mistaken, all female. I might have been losing it, but hell, if losing it involved cute little fantasy faces all over then I'd lose my mind any day.
The purple one looked as if she was going to drop me the moment I tried anything funny, so I back a step to show I wouldn't be of no harm to them. I didn't understand the look she gave me, so I smiled the best I could. Despite my back tracking from her, she trotted up to me and dropped her stare and circled me, studying my body I presume.
"Okay…" I whispered to myself, turning to the more intriguing of my worries.
I looked at the rest of the ponies; each one was unique. One of them had a light pink mane and tail with a yellow body, and eyes the same as every ponies' eyes, except her eyes had a light-green outline. She had wings like Dash and she also had a symbol on her flank like the rest of the ponies. Another pony had an all-white body and violet mane and tail, her eyes were also a shade of blue, and she had a horn like the purple ones. The next two had neither a horn or wings, one was pink, with a pink mane and tail, and a blue outline of her eyes. The next one was orange, with a blonde colored mane and tail, and a green outline of her eyes.
Above all, I couldn't deal with their mystified stares.
"Are we just going to stare at each other now?" I asked. They looked at each other still with fear in their eyes before the purple one spoke, finally coming at me with a positive tone. "Sorry about that but we aren't used to somepony just taking out two timber wolves, and with such a…violent approach."
"Oh…" I weakly chuckled hoping they could see my slight regret for doing that in front of them. "I've never encountered such strange creatures…all was in self-defense."
I began to feel somewhat sorry, I didn't know they wouldn't have used violence in my situation. I was a bit crazy but I was still sane…that sounded quite ironic at the moment. Best move now was to come off well, and not a sword wielding maniac, which was simple if not for the absolute madness of this situation. I sighed as I nodded with her statement.
"Sorry, If I had known a less-violent way to have dealt with that, I would have done it that way…uh," I apologized along with indicating them to introduce themselves. The purple one blinked her eyes wide before quickly trotting up closer.
"Oh, sorry, I didn't properly introduce myself, I'm Twilight, Twilight Sparkle, and these are my friends!" She went around indicating which pony is which. "This here is Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Fluttershy."
I blinked away my curiosity: these names were something new. I shook the thought away before aiming my thumb towards my chest, almost coming off as proud.
"I'm…" I had a small moment of thought before shaking away any doubts. "I'm Benjamin… nothing fancy, but you can call me Ben and as for what you asked earlier, I'm a human and I don't have a clue where I am." I responded in a nearly suffocated voice, which sounded funny with my confusion. Now this was interesting, I was going to find out what was going on, about time too.
"A hue-man…hmm, I'm not familiar with your species, funnily enough, maybe I skipped a page when reading, but the princesses should know. As for where you are, you're in Equestria!" She responded with a smile. I took a few seconds to think about it and it hit me, and not for the first time today; I was lost. I quickly had a few glances around me, admiring the colorful scene and sounds of nature before scratching my head.
"Uh…I've never heard of it." I responded completely confused and lost. She quickly dropped that smile and frowned.
"What do you mean never heard of it!? Are you from a different world!? There's no living species in our world that doesn't know about Equestria!" She exclaimed completely outraged. Her friends had as much of a shocked expression as she did. I scratched my head a bit more before smirking slightly at her funny and terrified look.
"Well, I might just be from a different world, I come from Texas," I answered. That got no response from them.
"Okay then…how about The State of Texas in the United States?" They just looked at each other shrugging which was slightly making my stomach ache.
"Okay, how about: The state of Texas, in the United States of America, in North America, on planet Earth, in the Solar System, in the Milky Way Galaxy!? That's as far as I know! Ever heard of any of it!?" I asked back, trying to add more every time she shook her head. Once I was out of things to call out, I shrugged as to show her I was out of options, and her expression changed to one that made me ponder if she was sane. Maybe I shouldn't be saying who was sane because I wasn't sure if I was sane.
"No…I haven't, by Celestia! You are seriously from another world!" She exclaimed to herself.
"No shit…" I whispered in amusement before she turned to me, glaring a curious and serious look. "Listen would you come to Ponyville and to my home so I can get in touch with the princesses, they might know more about your case, and we have to talk about this!"
"What Princesses? What's Ponyville? And you have a home?" I asked. They all glared harder back at me.
"My goodness…I refuse to believe you're being honest but you…"
I stopped her there and smiled warmly, even though it must've been so easy to see through.
"It doesn't matter, sure, I don't remember having anything else to do, for all I know I might just wake up or something." I responded smirking. Hoping to show myself as a friendly and alright. She smiled and twirled her body around in the direction of the huge clump of buildings or huts in the distance, I couldn't tell from here.
"Great! Follow me! Oh and, I assure you, you aren't dreaming."
I paused as I watched her trot away from me, obviously being serious in her response.
"Okay," I answered, trying to bookmark that response in my head. I already agreed to follow her anyways.
"Can we tag along?" Rainbow Dash asked. Twilight looked over shoulder and her mouth dropped wide open. Upon seeing her reaction, I quickly turned to see Dash and it wasn't a surprise my expression changed as well. Dash's head was now streaming more blood down her side. I guess it was worse than I thought.
"DASHIE! WE NEED TO GET YOU TO MEDICAL FACILITY, NOW!" Twilight yelled as she quickly raised her head and her horn started to glow a purple aura. What now!? I asked myself before my sight went trippy and we all reappeared in some room with more ponies. My body felt extremely light for a few seconds before landing my bottom on the ground with my eyes wide open in confusion.
"W-what the hell is going on!?"
