I really couldn't help myself... I saw all the positive feedback and I had to upload another chapter! The more reviews and feedback/favourite/follows that happen, the more frequently I'll be uploading chapters...fair trade?
I flew back to the cottage and knocked on the front door, as I did there was a huge yellow flash from inside. I ran around to the back and peered through the window and saw an exact replica of myself getting jumped on by Dash and Daybreak.
'This seems all too familiar'
I knew after what Aspire said mentioning going back in time but I never thought it would be literal. I knew what I had to do, I flew as fast as I could to Fluttershy's cottage doing a sonic rainboom after I passed the town square. As I reached her cottage Fluttershy was walking out the front door and saw me standing there shaking.
"Sunflower Twix? Is that you?" I nodded "What happened?"
"Fluttershy I'll tell you later, but get into your house now and don't leave, the hooded ponies just…. Please Fluttershy, go back into your house, I need to save Twilight as well"
"Let me help"
"Fluttershy, go back into your house please"
She nodded and did as I asked. I took off into the sky again towards Twilight's treehouse. As I reached the front door I saw hooded ponies walking up the footpath. I had no time for formalities, I flew into the door bucking it from its hinges in front of the hooded ponies causing them to jump back a bit.
I ran upstairs and saw Twilight under a huge pile of books
"Oh, hey Twix, at least SOME ponies realise this is a public library"
"Twilight…..go…..now…..hooded ponies…big trouble," I said out of breath
"Ok, slow down and speak properly"
"No time," I said breathing deeply and looking at the door. I looked around to see a window. 'Perfect'
"Hold on," I screamed as I wrapped my legs around Twilight and flew out the window causing glass to shatter everywhere.
I felt the glass cut my skin, I looked down to see blood dripping 'that….hurts'
I flew towards Fluttershy's cottage and opened the door. I put Twilight down and stood in front of the two confused and scared ponies.
"The hooded ponies are among us, I just came back from the future, Daybreak, Dash and I…..oh no," I said as I looked out the front door and saw the replica of myself walking towards the cottage. I silently shut the door and turned off all the lights. "Be very quiet, don't make a noise," I whispered getting nods from both the ponies as we hid behind the couch.
There were murmured voices and eerie knocks at the door as my heart throbbed. After what seemed like minutes the sounds ceased. I peered out the window and saw the replica of myself run away.
"W…What was that about?" Fluttershy said quietly behind her flowing pink mane.
"Twilight, Fluttershy, the hooded ponies are after you," I said getting worried "They want to bring back Discord"
"Oh goodness, why would they want to do that?" Fluttershy asked nervous
"Twix is just horsing around Fluttershy, there's no way to bring back Discord, it's virtually impossible," Twilight said walking towards the front door "Besides, have you ever heard of hooded ponies?"
"Twilight, I thought of any sane pony around here you would understand," I said with a convincing face "I was just back on Earth, all the humans were dead, the hooded ponies inhabited it and they wanted you and Fluttershy to bring him back…Guys, they were going to turn you into Discord"
Twilight jumped back in shock "You're serious aren't you?"
I nodded "I'm so sorry, I don't know what we can do. Does the princess know about the hooded ponies?"
Fluttershy sat back behind her mane while Twilight started thinking.
"I don't even know what they are, or where they come from, heck, I don't even know if they should be in Equestria"
"C'mon," I said getting an idea "let's follow the past me"
Twilight nodded except Fluttershy who said "I…I'm going to umm…. I'm going to stay here"
I nodded as Twilight and I ran out the door after the past me and my small family.
As we arrived we hid behind some bushes peering through a small hole showing me arguing at the hooded ponies with Dash and Daybreak behind me scared holding each other.
"Don't do anything," I whispered to Twilight who was looking between the past and present versions of me confused "just be quiet and watch"
We sat quietly until I flew into the portal.
Suddenly there was a huge bright white flash. I fell onto my back with a throbbing pain in my chest. I looked up and saw Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle look at me confused. I tried to breathe but as I did I let out a small gasp and everything started fading black.
"Twix….Ohhh my, I…ummm….I'll go get help," I heard Fluttershy mumble while Twilight stood there.
My vision dazed black as I heard what seemed like Discord's laughter.
"Hello again Matt," I heard Aspire say as he entered the darkness of my vision
"Aspire?" I groaned in pain while still clutching my chest and on my back "Wh….What's happening to me?"
"It's Discord"
I closed my eyes wishing the pain would go away "What about him?"
"He's becoming a part of you"
"What do you mean?"
"After you entered Earth again through the hooded pony's portal Discord's magic rubbed onto you as well as part of him."
I opened my eyes and looked at him "so you're saying, Discord is part of me?"
"Briefly"
"Please elaborate"
"You see Matt, Discord isn't just part of you…it's complex, but you'll just notice many…anger, problems"
"Like what?"
"Don't be surprised if you sometimes have mood swings and go rogue, it's all Discord's doing. He doesn't have control over you, but his emotions, his thoughts will sometimes get the better of you forcing you to feel that as well"
"So you're saying I'll try to destroy Equestria?"
"Precisely"
"But if he's part of me then I should have some of his magic?"
"A small amount"
"What sort of stuff can I do?"
"Oh you didn't realise?"
"Realise what?"
"That you teleported"
"What?"
"That's right, my mirror, you teleported"
"Mirror…huh?"
"Nevermind, indeed, you teleported, it was part of Discord's magic"
"How did I, and when did I teleport?" I asked slowly standing up.
"When you went to the treehouse of Twilight Sparkle of course"
"I flew there with Dash an…"
"After that"
"I just flew there extre….." My voice trailed off as I remember how I got there "There was a white flash and I was there," Aspire nodded his head "I didn't notice it until just now," he nodded his head again.
"Don't go out of your way to try to tame these powers, for the powers you seek, are very mystique"
"What was that?"
"What was what," Aspire asked walking closer to me "the rhyme?"
"Yeah"
He chuckled to himself "I dunno, I've been watching 'Bridle Gossip'"
I started backing away from him getting to my hooves properly as the pain eased "You mean you've seen the show?"
"Of course I have, if it wasn't for me you wouldn't be here right now"
"What do you mean," I asked slowly approaching him.
"I organised that you were teleported here…not Scootaloo," I was about to say something but started laughing "I'm not going to say anymore, it'll give away my surprise to you"
"What surprise?" I asked curiously.
"The surprise for who I am…you know Matt, you really can't put one and one together can you?"
I tilted my head to the side in confusion "What do you mean?"
"Nevermind, like I said, I'm not giving away the surprise just yet. Besides, I want you to have some fun in Equestria before I tell you the truth behind your life"
I had no idea what he meant so I just nodded and walked towards him and threw my legs at him as he turned around.
"Thank you Matt, I needed that"
"Thank you for bringing me to Equestria"
"It's fine…you can let me go now, I'm not gay"
I let go and stood upright making myself feel more masculine "neither am I"
"I know you're not gay Matt, I know you're engaged to Rainbow Dash… It's cool"
I smiled "You really do know everything about me don't you?"
"Yeah," he faintly laughed "and don't worry about that bitch back on Earth who was giving you a hard time, I finally grew a pair and beat up her little brother," I looked at him confused "You know…that kid who always wanted his big sister to beat you up? Well I rammed his head into a pole… there was blood everywhere, I got suspended and all, but it was worth it"
"That…So you're from Earth too huh?" I asked changing the subject that made me feel awkward. There was one girl at school who constantly harassed me over the smallest things and her little brother kept making me tell him to shut up so he could get his sister to harass me even more.
"Yep," he nodded
"Where abouts?"
"Same place as you my friend"
"Sydney?"
"Closer"
"Bondi?"
"Closer"
"Just tell me please," I said getting impatient
"Maybe I was from the same household as you"
"dad?"
"Nope, this information will be revealed at a later date"
"So what happens now?" I ask looking around to see only darkness still.
"Well what do you want to happen?"
"For Fluttershy and Twilight to be home safe, Daybreak and Scootaloo happy together and Dash and I married"
"I know that will all come true in the long run, but in short terms, what do you want to do right now?"
"Taste the rainbow," I joked with a big smile
Aspire chuckled "So did Dash actually taste like skittles," he asked.
"Heh, not really…then again, she was the first one I ever had sex with"
"Oh yeah, that's true," he smiled "Oh, before I forget, I sorted everything out with your bus driver, I paid the vet that fixed you up a long time ago too and that cop you shot, he's still doing really well."
"How do you know all of this information?" I asked getting on his case.
"Because I have to keep up-to-date on my own world too, besides, I can't let a pony go around destroying his home world…old home world I should say"
"I might go back… I just don't want to leave Dash and Daybreak behind," I said looking at the ground.
"Trust me Matt, you'll never be able to do that… I won't let you!"
"Maybe I'd rather be human"
"Don't lie, being a pony is amazing! I know how you feel being one!"
"Wait," I stopped him "You've been a pony before?"
"No, but I know what you're feeling and what you see, like I said… I know everything about you and my side of the story will come to light at the end."
"At the end of what?"
"When your fan fiction story finishes"
"What do you mean?" I asked looking at him suspiciously.
"Well, you're going to have to finish your fan fiction story soon, you won't be able to live a life here in Equestria and write it at the same time"
I took a few steps back and let strange thoughts run into my head 'What if someone wants me to write a clopfic out of it? What am I meant to be thinking right now?'
"Matt, you're not meant to be thinking anything right now, I'm not suggesting for you to show your true emotions to me right now," Aspire said smiling towards me "just don't let Discord's wrath get the better of you"
"What do you mean," I asked taking a step back and falling onto the darkness which I assumed from under it lay an ordinary ground for I felt my flank bruise slightly "how could he get the better of me?"
"You know what the hooded ponies are capable of…Discord is much worse"
I gulped "How worse?"
"He could banish you back to Earth and leave Dash here, don't be surprised if it happens..."
"It won't happen because it won't get the better of me," I said getting up to the ground in a threatening look "I'm not letting some dick take over my life, I was an individual human that could fight for himself, and now, I'm in a world full of friendship, friendship shall become my magic," I said with a determined smile and my spine shivering "I will last to the end, no matter what, my life will only depend, if my vengeance is sought," I started rhyming on the spot.
"Hold it there Matt, you're not with Vinyl Scratch yet… But you get the idea," I heard chuckling and everything soon went brighter "have fun Matt, take care, and I have a surprise for you in store"
"Cya Aspire," I called out as my eyes opened, but as quick as they opened they were forced shut to a blinding light "Agghhh," I called out in pain with my hooves covering my eyes from the light.
"He's awake," I heard a familiar voice call out "Twix, Twix can you hear me?"
"D…Dash….Dash is that you?" I said through groans of pain.
"Yeah Twix, it's me, what happened?"
"Do you know how much it hurts from seeing only darkness then looking into Celestia's sun?"
I heard silence assuming Dash was confused
"My eyes are in pain," I said with a warm smile as I slowly opened my eyes adjusting to the light to see the bearers of The Elements of Harmony before me, as well as Bill, Derpy, Daybreak and Scootaloo. I looked around to see I was in a hospital of some sort.
"How are ya sugarcube?" I heard AppleJack ask as I felt a hoof carefully rub my leg "You were in a pretty bad way"
I looked at Twilight who was standing with a relieved smile while nodding towards Fluttershy who also looked relieved "Thank you girls, but what happened, and where am I this time?"
"You're in PonyVille urgent care, and for what happened? We still don't know ourselves. You just seemed to just have passed out," Twilight said with a confused frown.
I looked up and smiled at them "It's fine girls, I know I have an angel…Aspire," Daybreak walked up to me hesitantly "hey kiddo," I said with a crackled voice "I told ya I'd come back"
"Dad…I saw you die in that portal… how did you come back?"
I looked up to see Rainbow Dash nodding "It's true Sunflower, he did….so did I," Dash said looking away with tears starting to form.
"What do you mean? I never died"
"Really?" Dash said with a voice full of hope, she looked at Daybreak who did the same "Ahhh…good"
"Seriously, you two can overreact over anything"
I heard a click at the door; I looked up to see Pinkie Pie entering the room 'Wasn't she just there?'
"TWIX, YOU'RE AWAKE, I HAVE TO THROW YOU A PARTY, IREMEMBERWHENIFIRST…." Pinkie started talking really loud and fast until Dash put a cyan hoof in the pink fluff… 'Peace'
"Pinkie, I'm fine, and I'd really appreciate it if you didn't throw me a party…I'm not much of a social person," I said as I got comfortable in my bed. "Now, when am I able to leave?"
"Actually," said an earth pony which I assumed was a doctor, taking into consideration that he was wearing scrubs and a stethoscope around his neck, and randomly walked through the door as if it was all a set up "we're getting you out of here now sir"
"Really?" I said full of hope myself.
"Yep, you had a remarkable recovery for a broken nose, fractured skull, broken ribs and internal bleeding; everything is all healed up within a few hours"
"Wait, how did all that happen to me?" I asked remembering when the hooded ponies beat me up "I suppose I always did have a high pain threshold"
"Indeed, you're a strange Pegasus… You should still be unconscious"
There was an eerie silence until I broke it "Discord"
Every pony looked at me "What did you just say?" said AppleJack as she walked up to me suspiciously "What bout' em'?"
I looked into her eyes and could tell she was looking at me as if seeing through a lie "AppleJack, you don't have to play the element of honesty to me, I wouldn't lie about this," I took a huge breath while the doctor was also looking at me confused "Discord is part of me, after I flew into the hooded pony's portal, Discord automatically become part of me… I can't do anything about it, and I'm sorry if I suddenly snap at one of you, it's not the true me…it's the Discord in me"
"How do you know darling?" Rarity asked walking towards me.
"Because I saw Aspire again"
Every pony in the room except me jumped back in fright "Oh no," they all cried out.
"It's fine girls, and daybreak, and doc…. He's a good guy, he's from where my old world and he's here to help me…he's like my guardian angel"
"Why can't we be left alone?" Dash asked as she approached the bed I was spread upon, "I mean, every time we have a romantic moment something always happens and ruins it"
I looked at Dash smiling and nodded "yes my true angel"
Dash held a hoof to her face hiding a small blush that was forming over her cyan cheeks.
"Well," said the doctor breaking the silence "We better get you out of here and on your way home, Twilight Sparkle here has already signed and sorted out all your paperwork and medical bills," I looked at Twilight and she was looking at me with a grateful grin "Your healing process is remarkable, out of this world in fact"
"That's because I'm from out of this world," I said smiling while the doctor looked at me confused pushing the wheelchair my direction "I was brought to Equestria from another planet"
"But….you have the same biological structure as any normal pony… there's nothing different about you, except your healing process"
"Trust me on this mate," I smiled "I'm not a normal pony"
"But…But," the doctor stumbled as I interrupted him by holding my hoof up to his face as I sat in the wheelchair.
"As I said, I'm not a normal pony. I am half human, quarter pegsus and quarter Discord"
The doctor coughed at the mention of Discord's name "So you're not normal?"
"Heh, far from it my friend," I was about to go into more detail of my history until Twilight intervened with a 'let's go already' cough.
"I think that's a hint to go," I said smiling "wheel me away from the light and cast me back into the shadows where my prey awaits"
Dash, whom was walking beside the wheelchair, looked at me "Twix are you ok?"
I looked at her oddly, unaware of what she meant "Sure sweetie, how about you?"
"I'm fine," Dash leaned further towards me "when you said Discord being part of you, did that mean his twisted personality too?"
I smiled and pecked her on the cheek receiving a throat clear from the doctor behind the wheel chair. "Here we are, It's been an honour treating you sir, never in my life have I come across an anatomy as complex as yours..."
I looked at him and smiled "thanks doc"
He nodded as I stood up out of the wheelchair and took a step forward. Dash embraced me in a hug and gave me a passionate kiss while the others, including the doctor just went "d'awwww".
This was a huge chapter probably one of the biggest I've written and I assure you that it won't be the last! 3,300 words and 7 pages long. Ahhh...I remember the good old days of writing 'The Day I Woke Up In PonyVille'...soooo short chapters. Now each chapter is around 7-10 pages long with minimal grammar or spelling errors. lol.
Thank you for being the kind readers you are! You've shown me nothing but support throughout my...not so great life. If it weren't for you guys I don't think that I'd be writing fanfics! So thanks a heap every-reader!
