Well. Okay. I know that the last chapter wasn't very long... And I apologize. But I have been hard at work while moving again from another house to another house... And I gotta know, does any of you live in Washington, Graham? Cuz if you do, please leave it in a review, your name, and address. I would love to meet you sometime.

Because I know you viewers are awesome, and I would love to meet someone awesome...

But enough of that, I don't want to keep you!

Please enjoy...

...

Being thrusted into unconsciousness isn't a fun thing. Not only did I feel exhausted when I awoke in that forest, I had to carry the creature to safety... Even my energy reserves were depleted, and emergency shut down was immentent...

...

How long have I been asleep? Hhhh... I sometimes wonder if I'm not dead yet... Hm. And if I was dead, is this the afterlife? Just an endless black darkness so black that you cannot see anything but your own body? Hm. Well, it's not that black. You can still see it waving like dark matter... Think of it like Super Mario Galaxy. The kind of dark matter you leap over is identical to what I can see and observe right now...

But I still don't think that is very fair, not after what I did. If there is a God in heaven, he knows I did the right thing, not the wrong thing. Unless she wanted to die, which I doubt, I did the right thing... Or maybe... It's just my time. Huh. Funny. 17 years old, and it's my time to die. I feel so proud...

Ugh. Walking in this dimension is so boring. It's like trying to do nothing for a whole hour. Try that. Think you can do it? 'Cause I know I can... But only because there is nothing else to do than nothing itself.

...

God, death is stupid. It just said 'I'll leave you to die now.' And left... Hhhh... Gee thanks life. Just what I wanted after I saved the life of a beautiful one...? Did... What the heck? Did I just say that? Seriously?

God I gotta stop thinking for a moment...

"How... Doctor?" A echoed female voice spoke aloud from which sounded like from all directions.

"Not sure... Recovering... But... Rest." Another voice said aloud... Now I get to hear voices in my head... Great... Just what I wanted to keep my sanity.

SANITY POTION, PLEASE.

"Human... We don't know... Got here." The male voice said but which sounded like a bit more to conceive by ear. Interesting... After a while of talking, I could now concieve sentences.

"The anatomy is certainly similar to our previous knowledge... But it has yet to be explored..." He said. I could then hear a steady beeping sound in the background... Wait... THAT'S IT! HA!

Docter, anatomy, human, and a beeping sound? Ha! I'm not dead, I'm in a hospital! I jumped up and down for a few moments before I passed out in the dimension, and then recieved inky black darkness again. Ugh.

I then began to feel cognitive functions in my body again, breathing, hearing, touch, taste, smell. Even sight. I think... I then felt something grasping my hand tightly, and feeling a drop of some liquid on it... Unless... Dear lord... Why...

I then began to regain control over my aware functions. I began to feel my left hand move again. She must have noticed it because she then gasped and froze for whatever reason. I began to feel her face... It was a thousand times softer than that of any female I've ever felt.

I opened my eyes slowly to see joyful tears flowing down the mare's face as she hugged me tightly... I've never had a woman care so much about me like this before... I was in all sense shocked. I broke out of my trance and hugged her back gently... In fact... I owed her something...

I do not believe I would have made it without her help... I could not stop thinking about her when I carried her... I believe she was like my lifeline... And I would do anything to protect it... Protect her...

"T-Thank you so much!" She whispered into my ear as she cried onto my shoulder... I was still shocked at how she could articulate words from her mouth. It was at most interesting.

I was deeply saddened at how she shivered when she hugged me... It was not cold in this room, no... But rather being scared in fear that she wouldn't survive, no... I... don't believe that. I believe that she wouldn't see me again, and she was scared because of it. She finally stopped hugging me to look at me smiling while crying.

"Hey... I'm sorry..." I said while sitting up and hugging her. I didn't give a damn how much my wounds hurt. It hurt infinitely more to see her sad. Something about her just... I couldn't see her sad... It hurt too much.

I opened my eyes to see that I was not alone. The same five ponies that seemed to gather around me when I was wounded however long ago that was. I looked down at the mare's calf, and saw it was healing nicely...

...

Which meant one thing. Wounds like that take time. Her wound is about 55% healed... That would have taken at least a week and a half. Without movement... Something about those figures scared me.

I read in her book of records, data, observations, experiments, theories, things like that, that her name was Twilight Sparkle. At the least, the name is beautiful. It was so fitting for her... She was like my Sparkle of light in the inky darkness...

"T... Twilight?" I said. She gasped when she heard her name called by one who did not know her name. It must have been hell going through what she went through that night...

"I just want you to know that I will never let anything hurt you again... If you need me, you call me. I'll be there when you need me... Okay?" I said while she nodded.

"How long was I asleep?" I asked.

"19 days..." She muttered. My mind froze when I heard those figures. 19 days... That... Can't be... 19 DAYS?! WHAT THE HELL!?

I layed down and observed the ceiling for a moment. "May I have a mirror?"

She levitated a mirror over using her magic, and a lavender aura radiated around her horn, and the object. I looked into the mirror, and saw I had grown a beard. Wow. Said beard was dark blond, almost brown. I looked like Rick Grimes.

I kinda like the beard... Looks fitting... Nah. I'm good. I don't want it. I sat up at the edge of the bed and touched the ground with my toes. I then stood on my feet, but I felt pain in my left calf. Man it hurt.

The ponies just gasped with open eyes and hanging jaws as I walked towards my belongings, grabbed my things, and walked into the bathroom. I changed into my normal attire, which was clean.

I even put on my hat, and holster, and walked out of the bathroom. I looked and stood like Rick. It was clearly really scary. It even scared me a bit. Seeing myself like that.

"Now where's the exit?" I asked them. I couldn't stay here. I was like an outsider... No... More like a person that doesn't belong here. As much as I would love to stay with Twilight, I must find a way back home... I don't belong here.

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"I mean, where is the... Never mind. Don't bother." I said while walking towards the door...I live Alanta, Georgia... I even picked up a bit of the accent. More like adopted it, but whatever. I wasn't texan, but not really english.

"Where are you going?"

"Out."

I walked into the hall to see many different ponies staring at me. I headed strait for the door, when a pony tried to halt me.

"Sir, what are you doing? Your not cleared to go!" She pleaded. I did not want any of this. I just wanted to leave in peace without any disturbance whatsoever to the hospital...

"I wasn't cleared to be entered into the hospital in the first place, now please, move, or I will make you move." I said. I wasn't having this! I saw two colts, larger ones, probably restrainers, walk up behind the first nurse, who walked out of the way.

One colt took a step forward and I pointed my revolver at his head, and he scoffed.

"What is that?" He asked sarcastically. He was scared, that's for sure. The way he nervously looked at the gun.

I leaned down in his face and said, "You wanna find out?" I asked him while cocking the hammer back. He backed away nervously, and I walked and reached the door and opened it up.

I looked around and saw that it wasn't the same old town I saw it to be. It was more like a city. A city with nice brick roads, white brick-built buildings, and a huge castle. I don't know what that castle was for but I ain't gonna stand around to find out.

I started to walk the other way, since hearing a train was like salvation to me.

"Wait!" A voice said to me.

"Hm?" I said while looking back and seeing Twilight walking towards me. I looked towards her and needed to ask her a question.

"Ms. Sparkle-"

"Twilight." She said.

"Twilight. What in God's name were you doing that night?"

"Hhh... I was setting fireworks to celebrate the Day Of Equality. Princess Celestia and Luna were there looking at the situation, but mostly Princess Celestia. I told them I was okay on my own... Guess I wasn't..."

"No, you weren't."

"And Celestia thought it was okay, that I could handle myself..."

"Well then she though wrong, mkay? Now what does she look like?"

"Well, she's tall, white, with a horn and wings, and wears a tiara much like mine. And her mane is multicolored."

I turned around and saw a very close description of her and a blue pony next to her. The blue pony seemed to show more of the shy type. The white one... Well... Much different.

"Well Well Well..." I said while she walked up with surprise.

"Twilight, what is he doing up? I thou-"

"Nuhuh. You ask about me, you answer to me. Now I suspect you were in charge of the situation on the night of the celebration, hm?"

"Yes? What is it?"

"Well, it seems like you came this close to indirectly killing an innocent pony. You look like the type that can't handle themselves under pressure, so maybe next time you should go with her to protect her from whatever the hell is out there ."

"How dare you! I-"

"Well damn you and damn your princess title. I clearly don't give two shits about that. I couldn't believe my ears when I heard of your stupid little descisions. I mean, would you go out at night, alone, into a forest like that?"

"N-No."

"Then why'd ya send her?! If you can't do it, then don't send someone else out like that. Seems like you don't get the saying 'Do as I say, not as I do.' Type shit. Well maybe you need to learn, cause..." I said while beginning to lose me control over my emotions.

"I would never, never put a sweet mare like this one in a situation like that... I mean... Are you really that cold? A-An-And to think of what would have happened if I wasn't there? You would be directly responisble for her death... And I could never allow myself to do that."

She looked at me with a repulsive look.

"What right do you have to tell me that I-"

"WHAT RIGHT DO YOU HAVE?! HUH?! UNTIL YOU GET SCARS LIKE THESE, YOU'D BETTER SHUT YOUR MOUTH!" I yelled at her and showed her the wounds. She clearly got the point that time. I stared at her for a moment, showing I meant what I said.

"Now if you'll excuse me." I said while I walked from the situation. She was basically a murderer. Without me, Twilight would've been dead. And you know what? It would be on her conscience for ever.

Hhh... Can't wait to be home.

I walked onto the train, even though I disaproved of the six ponies following me. I boarded the train and did not listen to them at all. I had many things to do on my mind and I did not want to lose track of my objective... My objective being...

To find a way home. If... If I emerged from the bushes in the forest, then that is where I mus be. I'm sorry Twilight... But I must leave. I learned the names of all six ponies, and seemed to fall asleep. I awoke with a sleeping Twilight resting on my shoulder.

"Oh geez..." I said while gettign up and hearing a gasp from her. I heard the conductor yell all aboard, and the rest of the six wake up. Twilight was about to say something when I started walking off the train. I walked through town and then found myself at the edge of the forest.

I walked inside the forest in the same fashion and path as when I came out. I found myself at the very same bush, but with a portal large enough for a human to pass through... Maybe that is what brought me here.

I walked towards it, and heard Twilight.

"Jossten, what are you doing?"

"Hhhh... I... I think it's clear what I'm doing. Twilight, your a smart mare. You know what must happen... What I must do... Mkay?" I said while cupping her chin and lifting her head as she began to cry.

Goddamnit...

"I'm sorry..." I said to her while I hugged her...

"But I don-"

"Don't belong here. So I think you should just go."

"Alright... But I just wanted to say I'm sor-"

"JUST GO!" She yelled while shoving me in the portal and me falling in...

...

"Huh?" I gasped while I sat up in the golden wheat field. There was absolutely nothing in it. It was just a golden wheat field with hills. Plain and simple... Oh my god...

"I'm back! Ha!" I said while looking at the sky for a moment... It wasn't nearly what I suspected... Being gone for 20 days changed a whole lot. There was now what looked like a glass dome over the atmosphere...

"What in God's name is this place?"I said while I started walking up a hill. I stood on top of it and looked to see the city of Atlanta under fire from what looked like modern helicopters and such... Who would do this?

I ran down the hill and got up close to the situation, and looked to see soldiers, identically the same, but different color and type. Even drop pods. Every Drop Pod had a writing on it stating what in inside said drop pods...

'Drop Pod 48937: Vanguard'

'Drop Pod 12892: Shadow'

'Drop Pod 27495: Grenadier'

'Drop Pod 13599: Wraith'

'Drop Pod 38795: Tank'

'Drop Pod 29038: Marksman'

'Drop Pod 44982: Beserker'

...

But what did these mean? Did this mean utter global war? I looked around to see both sides in a war. But one side was blue, and one was red... It could only mean one thing. Something disasterous must have happened to the economy, and complete global war broke out.

"What in hell..." I said while seeing what looked like a 'Shadow' soldier, run for a moment, and then disappear... What? He then reappeared only for a moment to shoot a man in the head and continue running... This was not the earth I wanted to return to.
