Awoken and Exploring
(Dreamscape)
Aka is seen walking through a path cover in a thick lay of fog that he ca barely see and has no idea on where he's going or where this path even leads to, the only thing he does known is going somewhere is better than just standing around doing nothing and waiting for something to happen. He hopes wherever he's going it'll be some place good with some food and maybe a working TV than the ones back at the old building he used to live in, and also a really comfy bed to sleep on.
Walking dozen more steps and he saw a bright light shining in forward of him and a shadow figure of a person, looks to be a man, standing in front of him with his back facing him. He couldn't make out on the man's full appearance, but he can tell that he's wearing a red coat and carry a huge sword on his back that seems familiar. He also has white hair him. Aka doesn't know this person or why he's here in the first place, but he gets the strangest feeling that he knows him from somewhere and maybe even heard of this guy but can't seem to figure out or remember for some reason.
The young devil-hunter narrow his eyes at the sword getting a good look and shock to see the the blade is none other than Rebellion.
Aka was about to ask this man something, but suddenly the light shines brighter and engulfs the whole area as Aka cover his eyes wondering he's going on.
(Dreamscape End)
Aka moan as he starts to wake up from his weird dream and opening his eyes as the first thing he sees is a wooden ceiling with some leaves and branches. Aka did a quick inspection of himself to see if he's really is still alive: pules check, heart beating check, all body parts attach and in one-piece check. He can even tell that the wound he got some fighting those demons have already healed knowing his healing factor work fast, but there is one thing on his mind that he can't quite figure out: what happened to him and how did his escaped the demons just when he was about to be killed. The important thing right now is that he's alive and kicking.
Aka sat himself up on some kind of bed or something that he's been laying on for some time now and was about to look around to see where is here exactly until he suddenly felt his lips pressing against someone else's lips. To his shock this 'person' is a she and isn't exactly human though she's not a demon either. She seems to be a hybrid human-zebra with a sexy curve body and her lips feel good, she also appears to be older like a youthful woman. The two stays in the position where their lips are still touching together for a few seconds or so until they finally separate with the zebra woman gasp and jump back a bit.
"…I-I see you're awake young one, glad to see your body has healed itself done." The Zebra Woman said in rhymes while her cheeks are blushing of embarrassment.
"Yeah, I'm tougher to be taken down let alone kill." Aka bragged though full aware of the limit his healing factor takes on how much damage his take.
"So, how long was I out?" Aka asked wondering how many days have passed when he was a sleep.
"Just for a day." The Zebra Woman answered while putting some herbs in her big caldron.
"Really? Felt like weeks to me." Aka said getting up on his feet and stretching out a bit.
"Oh yeah, I'm Aka Redgrave, the Red Demon Hunter." Aka introduced himself with his usually smirk.
"Well, it's an honor to meet a warrior such as yourself, I'm Zecora. I am relief that you are not in a coma." Zecora smiled.
Aka scratch the back of his head and his cheeks are blushing of tiny pink dots, not sure why he's feeling this way since he hasn't felt this kind of emotion in a long time. He'll worry about it later as soon as he figures out where he is.
"Nice to meet you, so where am I exactly?" Aka asked looking around seeing jars and some masks on some walls and hanging on the ceiling with the leaves and branches.
"You are in my hut, being founded in deep in the Everfree Forest was a nut." Zecora said, still shock to have found this young man.
"Everfree forest? Never heard of it." Aka said honesty.
"That I can understand, for you are from someplace far away I take it." Zecora wondered if this boy is from another world.
"Probably, if I somehow ended up in another world from earth." Aka said, not sure himself of how he got here in the first place.
"Well, I ca say for a fact that you are the first being I or anyone have ever seen intact." Zecora stated.
"So, you never heard of humans before?" Aka asked.
"No, as I said, you're the first." Zecora said.
"(Guess, that means I am in another world probably full of anthro animals like Zecora and I'm getting the feeling that whatever brought me here was a one-way trip only.)" Aka thought thinking he maybe stuck in this world. Might as well make the most of it.
Zecora had reach a small jar looking inside only to find that it is empty meaning she ran out of the ingredient she wanted to mix in her potion she's been working on.
"Oh dear, it looks as though I will have a make trip, for the potion I am making will be a sip." Zecora grabbed a big grab over her shoulder and a smaller one.
"Mind if I come along, I would like to know more about your world and maybe help you out." Aka offered assistant, his way of paying back Zecora for nursing him and bringing him shelter.
"Very well, follow me and stay close, for this forest is big and you do not to be on a wild chase of goose." Zecora warned as she opens the door and went outside with Aka following from behind.
The two began walking together to begin their journey to wherever Zecora is going though only a few feet away from her hunt, Aka spoke up.
"You know that was my first too." Aka grinned confusing of what he means by 'first time'.
"I'll admit, you're lips tasted mystic with some jungle flavor." Aka blurted out, Zecora shock of what he meant as her face became a darker shade of red and almost trip.
"O-Oh, you mean the kissing." Zecora stuttered nervous.
"Yeah, and I can tell that it was your first time kissing a guy from your reaction after I woke up." Aka mentioned.
"Yes, truth be told I have never kiss anypony of my old homeland nor found a suitable mate to love." Zecora confessed. Aka wonder if 'anypony' is a term for anyone but with a pony word put in the end.
"Well, maybe I can hole fill the hole in your heart and… maybe another hole as well." Aka teased putting his arm around Zecora's waist as they keep walking, bringing her closer to him.
"B-But we just met!" Zecora reminded the boy that they still don't know much about each other.
"Hey, no worries I'm not the kind of guy who rushes things. We'll take it slow." Aka said with a wink. Zecora giggles thinking Aka isn't such a bad creature, just having fun in life.
As they walk through the path of the jungle-like forest, Zecora decides to take a different path to show Aka the beauty of Everfree that the wild life is something to behold and burn the images into his memoires. Aka didn't mind letting Zecora leading the way as it was a good opportunity to get a good view on her nice perfect round butt from behind and starring at her breasts when he's by her side. Zecora notice this and didn't mind at all, for some reason she wanted Aka to look at her this way and hopefully get to know more during the trip as she can feel her heart pounding hard and fast when Aka is closer to her.
Throughout the long path to their destination in the Everfree forest, Zecora started showing Aka around like a tour guide some beautiful sight in some areas like seeing very tall trees that there are only few remaining today and some small animals living here though they're very vicious. They visit a big swamp seeing some frogs hoping from one lily pad to another and may have spotted a living rock creature that looks like an alligator swimming around. They went hiking on a mountain to get a higher view on the forest, seeing some other mountains and the trees as the sun shines its ray upon them while the birds are passing by and feeling a gentle breeze in the wind. They are seen walking through some more woods as Aka is enjoying the nature walk with Zecora guiding him the way. They even visited an old abandon castle that Zecora says it's called the "Castle of the Two Sisters" that this was once home of the two royal sisters of Equestria until a tragic event forced one of the sisters to banished her younger sister to the moon.
Though unknown to them, they're being followed by a dangerous creature of the forest with a low growl and its eyes starring at its new prey.
"Just down this road and we'll be at Ponyville." Zecora pointed forward of the path.
"Well, Zecora I'll admit this place is a lot more beautiful than I gave credit even though I'm more of a city boy." Aka said.
"I bet the city you lived was grand, like reaching the sun with your hand." Zecora complimented, though Aka seem to look sad now and went silent for a bit.
"I wouldn't know, every building in my world or either abandon and broken down or nothing but rubble and dusts. All destroyed." Aka said sadden.
"But what about the people, what happened to them?" Zecora asked trying to comfort Aka as though he's about to cry as he try his best to act tough.
"…They were all destroyed, and I'm the ONLY survivor of the human race, though technically I'm half human." Aka mentioned the last part about being a half-breed.
"Half human?" Zecora shocked.

Before Aka can tell her more, he suddenly felt a dangerous presence behind Zecora and it's coming at them fast. Reacting quickly; he grabs Zecora by the waist and jump out of the way as a large wolf-like wood monster charges pass them, and Aka kick the thing on the left side of the head sending it a few feet away.
"What the hell is that?" Aka asked.
"it's a Timberwolf, they vicious as wolves and made of woods to themselves." Zecora explained.
The Timberwolf howls loud before charging at the two again hoping it won't miss this time.
"Well then, let how you can put yourself together when twigs are fill with holes." Aka smirked, been itching for a good fight. He brought out his two guns and starts firing at the wood monster.
The bullets shattered all the woods of the Timberwolf's body as the glowing in its eyes and mouth fades and the whole thing is completely destroyed. Aka blew the smoke from the guns and put them back in his gun-holder belt.
"Guess he didn't have much huff and puff." Aka joked.
"One may not as they travel in pack, fierce group and fear than a limber jack." Zecora mentioned.
Right after Zecora said all that, more Timberwolves came out of the woods, about ten of them, as they surround the boy and the zebra woman while growling looking angry.
"Looks like we're about to have ourselves a wild party!" Aka smirked bringing his guns again and Zecora holding a mini-battle axe from her bag.
Aka shot down three with two or three bullets for each as Zecora hold off one showing some impressive strength when she kicked the wooden-wolf away crashing it towards a tree. She dodges a downward paw strike another Timberwolf and smack it on the side of the mouth with her axe, but it only it angrier as it tries to chop its mouth on her flesh except dodges and counter attack. Aka decides to do this up close and personally; he runs up to one of the wolf and sudden it's been slice into pieces by the sword Rebellion. Aka proceed with attacking the other three slashing them back to back as he also gives them some punches and kicks until he jumps as the they crash their heads against each other and slices their heads off from the neck. Zecora has been push back against a large rock as the remaining four closes in on her, but Aka came in between them at blinding speed and the Timberwolves all sudden fell down dead and defeat.
(Music End)
"You okay?" Aka asked checking on her to see if she has any scratches.
"Yes, I am, you truly got me out of a jam." Zecora thanked Aka for saving her.
"Well, what can I say, a hero is always there for those in need." Aka bragged making Zecora chuckle.
"Indeed, you have proven yourself. Now, let's go to Ponyville and we'll see a friend I know who may have answers we seek." Zecora said referring to how Aka got here.
"Sure, I can dig that, and I hope there's no going back to my old world, this is cooler." Aka commented on how great Equestria seem so far.
"Glad you feel that way, and I welcome you to Equestria." Zecora smiled making Aka feel warm inside. Something tells him that this new life is going to be great.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Aka has officially met Zecora in an unexpected way as you can all see, and they became good friends as they explore almost all over the Everfree forest and got attacked by a pack of Timberwolves. A pretty good way to start off the day for Aka as he makes his way to Ponyville with Zecora and will met this 'friend' she spoke and more.
I made Zecora a bit of the fighter thinking she can survive the harshness and danger of the forest, not with just knowledge and potions. And she begun to grow closer to Aka as she'll find herself wanting him more in due time. For their just friends.
