Minecraft: Adventures beyond

Chapter 2: My Natural Instinct

Once again I am wrapped in the inky blackness that is unconsciousness, who am I kidding everything is messed up now. I’m lying here partially asleep, but yet simultaneously awake, the only way I can tell I am in fact awake is I can make clear and coherent thoughts, other than that all of my other senses are shut down, hindered strangely as though some outside force wants to keep me trapped within my mental prison. Yet for some odd reason I don’t resist it, I find it peaceful, and I have now had time to collect my thoughts and come to terms with my new fate, or at least I’ve tried.

Fuck, my life has just gone down the shitter; I used to have friends, a loving family and a place to call home. Now being pulled away from all that, having it stripped from me has all but broken me. From what I can remember I lunged at and almost killed a living breathing sentient being a short time ago, thinking back I have no idea what I was thinking, I wasn’t thinking. *Sigh* guess I have to just roll with the punches I suppose.

My silent monologue was quickly cut short as an extraordinary pain began to shoot through my body, it all seemed to feed into my right leg; feeling all over my body began to come back as the pain only increased in intensity, all the while my other senses were still clouded and numb. Pain was all I felt, I could not move, I could not scream.

“

Oh my, it’s worse than I thought, hurry somepony please bring me some bandages and a splint” said a feminine voice, this voice seemed gentle and caring, stunning me as my hearing was instantly returned to me.

“You heard her girls, hurry ah don’t know how long this thing will last with the amount of pain it’s in” said yet another voice, this one seemed to have a slight country accent and again was feminine. I could feel my body shifting and tugging around as weird but yet interesting appendeges carressed my body,  the appendeges in question didn’t feel like hands, instead it felt smooth but kind of soft, only thing I can compare it to was a large fingernail or toenail of some kind.

I can’t bare it anymore I have to scream, attempting a scream only wielded a slight whimper, the occupants of where ever I am seem to notice. As they try to talk to me, asking me if I was alright. Asking what I was. It was no use trying to answer, my mouth refused to open.

Attempting to deal with the pain and voices I slowly began to regain my sight and smell, the world around me was a menagerie of colors with large bright colored blobs that seemed to move and speak. Not paying attention to them I can finally feel the pain begin to subside to a dull throbbing, excruciating at the least but tolerable. My sight returns to me quickly and from what I can see those brightly colored talking blobs were ponies. Quite like the ponies I had seen before, and they all seemed to have those massive eyes.

I have counted six ponies, all having different colored coats and manes, One of them being the same pony or unicorn from before. To her left was yet another unicorn with a snow white coat and a styled purple mane. To purples right was one of the winged ponies, it had a cyan coat with a rainbow mane, heh reminds me of that damned harmonite shard. Moving and looking at my leg I saw yet another winged pony, it seemed to be tying gauze around my leg, it had a butter yellow coat and light pink mane. Helping it was a somewhat normal looking pony with an orange coat and blond mane, it was sporting a Stetson cowboy hat and seemed to have a long pony tail. Lastly looking to the corner was one of the more interesting looking ponies, all I can say is, lots of it. Pink mane with pink coat, its mane was unimaginably curly and it seemed to sport a massive smile and was bouncing up and down with uncontrolled excitement for some unknown reason.

All of these ponies seemed to be staring directly at me, they held expressions of curiosity, fear, and for some odd reason sorrow, it was now that I finally noticed my surroundings. I was in some kind of large barn, hay bales and farm equipment lay scattered around, and directly in the middle of the spacious room was me, and for some reason a bed right in the middle with me laying partially naked in, they stripped me of everything, everything except my boxers, luckily I lay under the sheet that adorned the bed.

  The pain in my leg decided to flare back up once more causing me to lay back down, and soon once again I grew tired, not tired enough for sleep persay but enough so, that moving was a chore. I dared not look at my leg just judging from the pain it was easily broken maybe worse. The silence was broken when one of these ponies decided to speak up.

“Umm, hello there, can you understand me” was all that was said, the voice belonged to the lavender unicorn, I turned my head to look at her, presuming by the tone of the voice it was a her.

“Yes” I weakly replied back, yes being the only word that was able to squeak past my lips, my voice low and scratchy.  Every pony in the room, even the energetic pink one looked at me surprised, some held expressions of fear, while others, including  the purple unicorn held large smiles, the purple one especially as she took a step further and addressed herself to me.

“Perfect, my name is Twilight sparkle, star pupil of princess Celestia herself” she stated matter of factly looking down at me with those massive eyes.

“What are you” said the rainbow manned winged pony hovering mere inches from my face, surprising me to the point where I almost fell out of the bed I lay in. “Well come on out with it” she said once more hovering closer and closer, I found out at this moment that gravity is a bitch as I fell out of the bed dragging the sheets with me. Falling flat on my face yielding gasps from the occupants of the barn. When my right leg clanked on the hay covered floor I experienced yet another bout of pain causing me to yelp.

“Now why’d ya have to go and scare it rainbow”  said the orange farm pony, attempting to get myself up only intensified the pain I felt in my leg, and I did finally look down I was greeted with what was causing all of my pain. The sight made the color drain from my face, from my knee to my ankle there was just purple, dark purple with discolored splotches of tan mixed in with a large amount of scratches.

The sight made me pass out once more, not just from the unrelenting pain, but just from seeing my leg in such bad of shape, as always the inky blackness that is unconsciousness wraps its dark shadowy claws around me and plunges me into a deep sleep.

(Back in the minecraft Universe)

A shadowy humanoid lumbered around one of the massive underground caverns that adorned the subterranean levels of the world, It’s piercing soulless white eyes stared straight ahead as it continued to walk. As it continued two skeletons followed in tow on either side of the strange being, their old bones clanking and scratching along as they moved forward.

After a short time of walking the trio found themselves at the entrance of a large brick corridor. This corridor was filled to the brim with many of the other subterranean creature that inhabited the land, a few being half rotted zombies and spiders. At this point the pupil less character walked alone once more, his escort long gone when he finally reached a special room, guarded by two very tall, dark, slender creatures. Both creatures looked to one another and nodded moving aside and allowing the humanoid access.

The room was dark, the hissing of silverfish abounded around the room as the insects scurried across the floor, in the center there was a large lava pool and above that was a large portal suspended over said lava pool. The portal in question was almost complete, it was missing one thing and one thing only; with this object the portal shall open plunging the world into eternal darkness.

“Soon” was all that came out of the beings mouth, his voice dark and scratchy as he turned back and walked back into the ancient corridor.

*******

“Gahh” I blurted out as I shot up from my sleep. “Wa, what was that thing” I yelled out remembering the dream I had just had. “Wait, pain, ponies, where the hell am I” I said once more surveying my surroundings; I was in a small room. The bed I lay in was far too small to support me, as my legs popped out the back of the bed.

“my leg” I thought out loud as I checked under the covers to see how my right leg was faring, to my astonishment my leg seemed fine, completely healed as though nothing happened to in the first place. I looked across from the bed and noticed my normal cloths not to mention my shoes were folded neatly on a dresser across from the bed.

“I could hear some commotion from one of the rooms adjacent to my own. It’s fight or flight mode for me and I am in no mood to fight. Hopping out of bed, I put my clothes and shoes on as fast as possible as the commotion grew louder I could clearly hear the sound of feet, no not feet hitting the floor whatever it is it seems more sold and hard, somewhat like a hoof, and there’s more than one pair of em. Tying my last shoe I surveyed the room for any means of escape.  From what I saw there was only one door and one window, screw the door I’m going for the window. Unfortunately window was very small at that and it would be a bitch to have to climb through.

“Come on girls, I think it’s awake” said a voice right down the hallway, there was more than one of these things I would stand no chance, I opened the window and looked out, I was met with a ferly large two story drop, thirty feet at the least.

“Why can’t anything ever be simple” I whispered to myself as I began to shimmy through the window. When I met the halfway mark I could hear the voices stop at my door, and for a brief moment there was silence, at least until I grunted as I pulled the rest of my torso out of the window, now sitting on the sill.

The door immediately swung open and I was met with the same six faces I had seen earlier. They seemed surprised and stunned, leaving me enough time to grasp a large slab. I used all the strength I had to pull myself out of the room and onto the wood itself. Panicked voices came from the room I was in, and that when it hit me. Im climbing a fucking tree, the slab of wood I grabbed onto was in fact a branch.

“Don’t let it get away, it has to be studied” said the unmistakable voice of Twilight Sparkle.

“Da hell, did she just say she was gonna (study) me, what does that mean” I grunted out as I reached out grabbing a branch slightly lower than the one i hang from. It was just now that I noticed that it was day out, luckily for me no one or should I say no pony decides to look up, seeing as the streets seem to be bustling with these ponies.

The only other branch I could see that I could get too was around a 15 ft. drop, and from here to the ground it was still at least a thirty foot drop. The ponies I had seen before now exited the tree building thing and were looking up at me trying to usher me down. They began to yell at me telling me to come down and begging me not to fall.

“Ehh screw it” I said dropping to the tree limb below. I reached out once more and grabbed the smaller branch with all my might. Breathing I sigh of relief I looked down once more and saw the ponies rushing right below my position. The orange one even had a fucking lasso and somehow how held it in its mouth perfectly.

CRACK “Oh shit” was all that escaped my mouth as the branch buckled and snapped sending me falling the last fifteen feet. (parkour mode activate) I braced for impact, and when I finally reached the ground I absorbed some of the shock with my legs as the rest was released as I rolled. Looking back I could see the six ponies running towards me with slightly angered looks, well all except for the pink mess, hell the rainbow manned one was even flying at me.

I didn’t think I just took off running, though this was futile the ponies had four legs and I had only two, they began to catch up very quickly and that damned Rainbow one kept trying to dive bomb me only for me to dodge or duck having it fly over me cursing. This is going nowhere time to step this up a notch, I bolted down one of the alley ways, it would have been a dead end if it had not been for a trashcan at the end.

Timing it just right I jumped up on the trashcan swiveled around and quickly jumping off of it and up onto the wall, the tips of my fingers reaching the ledge, the yelling from behind growing louder as I began to pull myself up, when I finally got most of my chest up I felt a rope wrap around my leg and just a quickly felt the tugging at the other end. Looks like the orange one can use a rope after all; it now turned into a brutal game of tug of war. Five of the ponies began to tug as little miss rainbow began trying to pry my hands from one of the bars that stuck in the ground on the roof.

This continued until the rainbow one decided to punch me in the nose, stunning me and causing one of my hands to let go, the punch hurt, but it didn't draw any blood. I looked up to its face and saw a satisfied smirk.

“You fucking bitch, it’s on now” I said through my clenched teeth at it. It only looked at me wide eyed as my free hand struck out and grabbed one of its legs. She began to scream and flail around in my grasp, only reason I say she, is because those kinds of yells and screams could only come from a girl. She yelled things like “Let go of me you over sized monkey” and “bucking let go of me or get the shit beaten out of you” things of the nature. I didn’t let go and truthfully that was a bad idea, I felt one last, strong tug from behind and I lost grip with my other hand. It was now a ten foot plummet down, and I fell hard.

I hit the ground with a loud thud, keeping my head from hitting the ground. I was in pain everywhere, nothing like what I felt before, but just a little soreness and a few scrapes and cuts. I looked back and saw the ponies all staring me down with death stares, even the pink one seemed a little mad herself, if that’s even possible. I had nowhere else to run, I had no plan, and I had no help, sighing I put my hands out and looked down in defeat, not even saying a word. All the while I could feel ropes on my arms, they began to tighten and soon I was being pulled around town, back to that massive tree I had been in before, gathering quite a few questioning stares from random ponies on the way back, especially from one light green colored unicorn. It just followed behind me the entire way back to the library and from some odd reason stared at my hands almost hungrily.

To say I was surprised with how large it was on the inside was an understatement; this place was a library, full with books. Not just that but it doubles off as a home, in another room adjacent to the store part, there was a kitchen a living room and an upstairs, where I can only assume the bedrooms are. In my stupor I had failed to realize I was being lead to the living area. The orange pony forced me to sit down on one of the couches, the other ponies gathered around me sitting on the floor and other chairs around, and randomly the white unicorn pulled a luxurious and comfortable looking chair out of nowhere, I just stared dumbfounded and realized I had seen weirder thing today. Twilight had pulled up a chair and was now sitting right in front of me, looking me directly in the eyes with a mixture of curiosity and, something else.

“Umm hello there” she said to me, she did her best to put on a kind and inviting smile, attempting to break the awkward silence that had clouded the room before. The other ponies still kept their eyes on my, most of the looks I got were just worried and interested looks. I looked up to Twilight and said nothing.

“Alright, well we have some questions for you and we would like answers” she said pulling up some parchment feather and an inkwell. These ponies really aren’t very advanced I thought to myself as I looked around.

“You said that you could talk before, I would like to clarify this, is it true” she said jotting something down on the paper. These ponies already knew I could talk, I might as well.

“Yes, I can speak” I said sighing at the end as I began to mess with the rope holding my hands together. Immediately the orange one stood up and looked at me sternly.

“Now y'all just relax there pardner, you ain’t aloud to take em off until ah can trust ya” she said tying them tighter than they had been before causing me to cringe as the ropes pinched my arms, somehow managing the task with her teeth and hooves.

Twilight began to write even more on her piece of parchment, I must have been a in a daze because I had yet to notice the feather floating, it was coated in the same kind of lavender aurora I had been coated in the time I floated. Turning back to Twilight I noticed that she had begun her next question.

“Where do you come from” she asked once more looking at me intently as she readied her parchment and feather once more. These ponies don’t need to know this, I’m just going to run away the first moment they turn their back anyway.

“That is none of your concern” I spat back, trying once again to wiggle out of my bonds but to no avail. She seemed taken aback by this comment and somewhat hurt. “Now can I please go now”? Right as I said this there was a large consecutive NO from the entire group. “*sigh* nothing’s ever simple” I said sitting there in defeat.

This continued for what seemed like an hour. Twilight would ask me a question, and I would answer, her usual questions would be things like, are there more of you where you’re from, what are you, are you male and female. Things of that nature, the damned unicorn even asked how often my species have sex, anyway this continued until she had one last question.

“Alright, I have one last question for now, ahem why did you try to kill that guard a few days ago” she said looking back up at me questioningly. The others seemed to be curious as well as they all moved in to hear my answer.

Sitting there, I thought of how I should word this to make it seem truthful, so in the end I just told the truth. “I was backed in a corner, I was hurt, It was my natural instinct to fight back” I said laying back in the couch recounting that night as I blindly tried to attack and kill that one lone guard.

All ponies in the room looked at me with questioning stares. “What, alright look, I did try to kill him, you want to know why, I felt threatened, I just want to go home, and now I’m stuck here with no way back, I’ll be better off if I go back to my second home” I said out loud half to myself and half to the ponies, unfortunately the second part slipped out and at the moment I said second home, Twilight perked up once more.

“What do you mean second home” she said levitating her parchment and feather back up.

“It’s none of your business” I said back once again trying my best to hold my ground.

“Oh come now Devon, I think we all would like to know” said a new voice from behind the ponies, there standing in the doorway was a very large horse, pony, thing, she had both a horn and wings and stood at around my height. She had two large armored ponies at her sides, and yet for some reason she seemed oddly familiar, her voice also had the air of familiarity to it as well. The ponies in the room turned around and quickly bowed to the being.

“Pr, Princess Celestia, I had no clue you were coming for a visit, oh this place is a mess I’m so” she was cut off as the princess walked in the room and pulled Twilight into what I could call an embrace for ponies, wait did she just say princess, aww crap I’m screwed again. This day just keeps getting weirder and weirder.
