The X chronicles: Focusfollower

Skin. I hate skin. As I also hate the feeling of fur.

Waking up in the middle of a dark forest as a pony doesn't help either. My colleagues are spread out through this world at random. The closest one is X but he is in captivity so I will have no help when it comes to removing useless flesh. Although I have done it before back at earth before the new age when humanity was united into one nation. Back before we helped it unite when it was dark and full of war against each other. We watched them grow and we watched them fall so we helped them get back up to something higher then they were before. Now we go and unite different species across many dimensions. This is our latest one, Equestria. This one however has brought most of my colleagues to it. I can not tell the seriousness of this problem but it has remained hidden to the rulers for a long time. They may not even know about it.

Now to get this skin off. If I cut here I should be able to slide it right off. Hopefully I won't have to peel it off like I did when I was human. I'll take shelter in this castle for now. The castle seems to be made of dark stone and is covered in vines along with other plantation. A armory was easy to find. The Armory had many old looking blades on weapon racks which lined the wall. On a desk there was a small dagger or large letter opener which had somehow remained sharp through out the ages. Judging by how old the other blades were it was about 1090 years of age. I wonder if it will do what it is intended to.

Ah it all slid off after one cut but I am now bleeding heavily. I do not need blood to survive but it become's more painful to move without it. It also causes panic in others for them to see just a mess of organs and sinew walking around. They are more tolerable when it is a mess of sinew and bandages walking around. I remember being confused with another in a similar situation in another world full of what they call Pokemon. But that is another story. Where is the place where the medics are? I could go for some bandages and Gauss.

Switching to third person

It was easy for the strange being to find a medical room. It however was a mess and full of knocked over beds and chairs. Scattered on the floor were many vials and jars of unknown contents smashed from what the being assumed to be a occasional looter or animal.

The being makes no haste in wrapping himself in bandages and Gauss among other things successfully covering most of the sinew. "Eh it will do." The being mutters to himself. He then stumbles around to get used to moving in his new form. Even with being in the new form of an equine he surprises himself with moving his limbs in directions they should not be moving. He is more that happy to find his bandages held while his Gauss tore a little at the knees of his legs. His hooves however uncovered them selves from the bandages. Never was going to work anyways He thinks. He decides to keep them that way and heads in the direction of the nearby town of Ponyville to free his colleague X.

Later in Ponyville

The being wanders on the outskirts of the town, worrying about how the occupants would react to him. Facing his fears he walks through the middle of town leaving a trail of blood behind him. He hoped no young one would see this.

He only saw a few ponies with looks of horror on their faces before they ran to any hiding space that was closest to them. Others just stood there frozen from horror and shock. One however just walked past.

"I thought they would stop after the other ponies came over for the cure to poison joke." The zebra said, "Ah it was not meant to be, I'll just leave them be." With that she turned around to face the being. She freezes in immediate shock then it was the beings turn to speak.

"I am not here to cause trouble, only to help a friend get free."

"W-who- what are you?"

"Same as you, a pony. Now I need to get to the nearest apple farm."

"W-why?"

"Because my friend is in trouble."

With the beings demands in her mind she manages to ask one final question to the mess of a pony in front of her. "Who are you?"

The being answers with his favorite sentence. "I am the Mouth of Chayton."

As MOC uttered the words of his name that the zebra would not be forgetting soon. A random stallion yells at MOC "Get out of out town you monster!"

"Please please do not fret, I only wish to free my friend form captivity."

"For what? So you can eat him?"

"No he needs help. He is lost in this world."

"I think we should listen! I do not feel as one to dis but if he tells the truth then we may cease to exist!"

"Thank you for putting a much better image of me in these ponies heads."

"I'm going to inform he guards! He threatened us!"

"You must be joking." with that MOC sprinted as fast as he could with his form across Ponyville. Past building and corners until he lost a mob of guards and frightened civilians. He sighed, only a few more blocks to go until I reach the apple farm. I can sense him close.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After dodging mob after mob of ponies he finally reaches the road to the apple farm where his friend was held. He walked for a bit which was a huge effort after running for so long. My bandages ache he complained to himself. When he reached the gate he saw the sign which clearly said the name. Sweet Apple Acres. Nice name, not so sweet with it's security if they have one.

He then trots along the path until he comes across a decision. Is he in the barn or the house? With the luxury of being able to sense him MOC found out his friend was in the barn. He slowly moves over to it's door making sure no one can hear him until he creaks it open a bit. He stumbles on a bandage coming loose and falls into the door slamming it open. He is met with looks of horror from Rainbow dash and her friends. He responds weakly with "Ur, Hello?"

"Who are you are you a mutant from the Eeverfree forest or an abomination?!" Rainbow dash demanded.

"To answer you I am an earth pony. How racist of you. Now where is my friend?" MOC responds while getting up.

"Ya don't look like any earth pony ah seen." The orange one responds.

"I'm sorry about that then."

"A-are you alright mister? You look like your in allot of pain." The yellow pegasus asks.

"Fluttershy! How can you be nice to this monster!?" The white unicorn instantly responded to Fluttershy. Nice knowing her name.

"How can you survive being like that?! It's impossible!" The purple one claimed.

"I have ways now Rainbow dash how can you be the fastest one. I bet you can't get to the changeling hive, save my other friend and bring him back here."

"Oh it's on!" With that she zooms out on the way to T.

I was too lazy to come with other ways to get rid of the others since I only knew about Rainbow from X.

"Now about my friend."

"Right behind you MOC." A familiar voice says behind me. "Glad to see you."

"Good to see you too X" I responded ignoring the five colorful ponies stares as I greeted him.

"We have colleagues to save and work to do."

"Let us go then."

The two walk out calmly leaving four mares and a purple unicorn who's only thought was I failed the princess!
