*BOOM* "Everyone to your battle stations! I repeat, everyone to your battle stations, this is not a drill. An unknown force of enemy fighters are closing in!"

*BOOM* *RUMBLE*

"Oh shi-" *BOOM*

"Go go go, scramble the fighters!"

David runs out of the barracks only to be greeted by what looks like the Apocalypse, there are unmarked fighter jets flying through the air, commencing bombing runs and airstrike, the horrid smell of death and smoke lingers in the air. The only thing covering the screams and the sound of explosions is the thunderstorm taking place overhead, with clouds as black as night. The planes flying just overhead were red with stripes of blue and black cutting across the top, the only thing that gave them some form of identification.

'Great, a thunderstorm to add to the battle, how dramatic' David thought with a sarcastic tone.

David looks across the airfield to spot the hanger doors opening with his F-15 fighter jet sitting inside being prepared by a team of engineers. As soon as he takes a step forward to sprint to his jet, he is met with a nearby explosion sending him tumbling on to his back.

"FU- How am I going to get across this damn field without getting blown up!?" He managed to yell out

After standing back up, David made a mad dash across the air field without a second thought, as he is running across he spots a plane headed straight for him from the air to his right, 'Shit shit shit shit shit!' was all David could think after spotting the plane. He noticed the jet angle itself towards him but right before it did anything, his attacker was met with a barrage of 50 caliber bullets from the mobile anti-air gun. As the bullets were penetrating the planes armor, they managed to hit the pilot as well as all the controls inside disabling the plane. With a massive roar the jet came crashing down onto the airfield smashing into a hanger, fortunately for the men inside the hanger, the metal beams held strong and withstood the force of the piece of rubble.

"Thank you mother of Hades!" David yelled out as he reached his hanger.

"Dave, your jet is ready, grab your helmet and hop in!" Mickey, the engineer yelled out to David.

"Got it!" David yelled in reply as he jumped and weaved his way around tools as well as machines. As David reached the foot of his ladder, he looked outside only to spot his wing man, by the name of Drake, climbing into his jet from the other hanger not far from his own. His sight of Drake was blocked as a mobile anti-air gun sped past the entrance of the hanger while firing at the enemy jets. David climbed up into his jet and grabbed his flight helmet resting at the top of his seat. He powered up the jet and was met with the amazing yet powerful sound of his engine firing up.

"Alright Dave, you be careful out there, you got that!?" One of the engineers yelled out to him

David only put on a smirk and nodded his head in reply.

"Tower, this is Falcon 1, ready for take off." David said through the radio attached to his helmet.

"Falcon 1, you are clear for take off, give em' hell!" A female voice said in reply with high confidence in her tone.

"Copy that tower!" David said in reply.

David pulled his plane onto the run way only once again to be met with the scene of smoke, bullets and death.
Multiple barracks were in ruins, several hangers were badly damaged with nothing but fire and black smoke arising from them. Most friendly jets were destroyed before they could get in the air, multiple bits of jet corpses lay on the run way with nothing but fire occupying them. The sight of the air base in such chaos and ruin, along with the foul stench of death rising, caused David's stomach to twist nearly causing him to upchuck his last meal.

"Damn, how could they have caused this much damage in such short of a time span!?" David said with a hint of sadness and disbelief in his voice. Before he could be shot down before even getting off the ground, he went to full throttle and took off, shortly after take off, two hostile jets closed in from behind.

"Shit... alright lets have some fun you two!" David said with a confident smirk, of course hidden by his flight helmet.

[Music](Right click open new tab)

Shortly after spotting the two pilots, he spotted a missile fly out from above and smash one of his unlucky attackers in the tail shattering the rear of his jet engulfing it in flames and smoke, shortly after it descended towards the ground letting out a massive roar as it exploded into rubble.

"What the-" David was cut short by another voice on the radio.

"Got ya bitch! Ha ha ha!"

"Damn Viper you crazy bastard!" Drake got the name as Viper thanks to his sudden and unpredictable attacks.

"Don't worry, I always got your back!"

"Who ever said I was worried!" David said with a chuckle

David's chat was cut short by the sound of bullets shredding his tail.

"Shit! Viper, get him off me!" David yelled out.

After say this, David heard a massive explosion behind him, taking a quick glance he spotted a ball of flames fall out of the sky and Viper pulling up to the side of his jet.

"Thanks Viper! I owe ya." David said in a relieved voice.

"More like two Falcon!" Viper said while laughing.

"Alright, enough chit chat, lets take these assholes down!" David finished with a serious tone.

"Got it!" Viper said returning to his own serious tone.

As David continues flying he pulls up behind three hostiles flying in a triangle formation, David is quickly blinded by a flash causing he to lift an arm to his goggles to cover his eyes from the blinding light, as soon as he takes another look he realizes that a strike of lighting struck down one of the enemy jets leaving nothing but a piece of rubble falling out of the combat zone.

"Damn!" Was all David could get out.

Refocusing he pulled up behind the remaining two jets, lining them up in his crosshair, as soon as he had one aligned he began firing his 20m Gatling gun attached to his wing unleashing a barrage of bullets upon his target, shredding the thruster of the enemy jet. After disabling the jet, it crashed into the earth leaving nothing but a crater and pieces of metal behind. David switched to his Heat seekers and locked on to the final jet, firing as soon as he had a lock. The missile flew with a roar and disintegrated the right wing of his foe while sending bits of shrapnel smashing the rest of the jet, the plane spun out of control and crashed on the run way of the air base.

David the quickly banked right and did a low pass over the air base. As he passed he noticed some men on the ground cheering as the tide of the battle had shifted in their favor now that they had two pilots in the air, after the rest of the planes were destroyed before take off.

David let out a grin at the thought but then noticed the storm was getting worse, the entire sky was engulfed in nothing but black clouds, lightning and rain. The wind was getting worse and fog was coming in.

"Alright Viper, let's finish this, only 5 more to go!" David yelled out in excitement at the thought of the battle finally ending.

"Got it, let-" Viper was cut short but static

"Viper, what happened?"

*No response*

"Viper!?"

*Static*

"Viper, are you alright!?" David yelled out while checking outside

While searching David spots another jet on the coast surrounded by smoke, but David was able to make out Viper's logo on the side.

"Viper... damn it!" David yelled out while feeling heat rise in his chest

[Music](Right click open new tab)

David came to realization that the one person who saved his life through out his career as a pilot was now gone, to repay the favor he chose to avenge his comrade.

'His death will not be in vain' David said in his head, quickly setting his jet to full throttle.

"Falcon 1, return to base now! They are fle-"

David shut off his radio, he chose to avenge his teammate and leave no survivors behind.

"Fuck that! I'll let them do what they want to me when I return, but for now, these guys are going down!" David said through gritted teeth.

David quickly pulled up behind the five jets that were fleeing over the ocean, back to where ever they came from.

Switching to rocket pods David pulled lined up two jets in his crosshair, unleashing hell upon his two targets.

Firing two rockets, one of them smashed the tail of his enemy causing them to explode with a roar while being engulfed in smoke and flames. The second rocket missed only to hit his second target by luck, causing the second jet's wing to explode resulting in him spinning out.

Switching to his Gatling gun he noticed one of the jets break off towards the right, ignoring this movement David continued his pursuit of the other two, David lined up one of the hostiles and opened fire. By the unlikely chance thanks to luck, one of the bullets pierced the cockpit of the enemy pilots jet scoring a headshot on him, spinning out he fell out of the sky, David redirected his aim towards the fourth target, but before he could fire he noticed a blur of red towards his right, before he could redirect his jet he was met with a missile to the wing, before he lost control he opened fire with his Gatling gun but missed the fourth target, leaving the last two hostiles home free.

David began his plummet towards the ocean, he had enough time to react since they were at a moderate height.
Fog quickly surrounded the jet as he was falling towards the ocean, but that was when David noticed it, a rainbow had formed amongst the fog, his jet smashed through the middle of it causing it to shatter and ripple in multiple directions, the fog turned to black after smashing through the rainbow, but then suddenly returned to white, David also noticed what look like a aura of multiple colors engulf his jet for about 3 seconds then dissipate.

Thinking nothing of it, he grabbed the ejection handle and pulled, only to find to his disappointment, it was jammed.
He began pulling on it in a panic when he noticed the ground approaching, he had cleared the clouds and fog and was approaching the ground at a rapid rate, confused by the sudden appearance of land, he tried his best to refocus and spotted a small opening amongst the forest below.

"Where the fuck- never mind!" He cut himself off deciding it would be better to attempt to land instead of trying to figure out where land came from.

David pulled on his flight stick as hard as he could to attempt to redirect the jet towards the opening, luckily enough the jet responded enough that it slightly redirected it's path towards the field, but before he could realize it, the ground came faster than he thought. Smashing into the ground his jet start to tumble and spin leaving a massive trail in it's wake. As David was smacked against his seat, he felt a sharp pain in his gut and black out.

Author's Note

Remember, this is my first story. I'll have the second chapter out soon.

Awaken

January 3rd, 2018 - 1:34 AM

As David woke, all he could feel was pain; a very painful headache.

He tried to adjust himself in his seat but soon felt a sharp pain in his gut, he looked down only to spot a piece of metal sticking out of he abs, he flinched realizing he had a piece of metal in him, before he grabbed it he remembered to never pull these things out unless you had a way to treat it soon. So David left it temporarily, he grabbed the release latch for the cockpit window but the handle was jammed just like the eject handle. Realizing he was trapped, he let out a deep sigh, then reached for his boot and grabbed his knife, lucky enough for him, he hadn't had the time to change into his flight suit when the attack had begun, so he was still in his basic military outfit, black boots with green camo pants, white plain shirt and a button up green camo shirt on top with the sleeves rolled up. He always kept a knife in his boot just in case, and it paid off.

He reached the knife up and cut his seat belt off since the release button got jammed during the crash.

'Ugh, everything is jammed! At least I'm alive.' David blurted out in his head due to irritation.

After slicing the seat belt, he reached behind his seat and grabbed a red and green medical backpack, along with a handgun and combat helmet with a mask included just in case there was gas in the area.

David chose to check how many bullets he had before continuing.

'Joy, 12 bullets...' David thought with a sarcastic tone.

Pointing the gun at the window, David fired three times in a triangle, then slouched back and lifted his boot to the window, he took off his flight helmet and put the combat one on to protect himself from the glass and anything waiting for him outside, he kicked between the bullet holes two times and shattered the glass.

'"Alright, let's get out of this piece of rubble."

After climbing out, David leaned against the crashed piece of metal, taking in the scenery so he could figure out where he was.

'I don't remember there being any forests nearby the Air Base?' David thought to himself in confusion.

Although it was night, he could still see enough of the surrounding area thanks to the full moon and clear sky. The storm had passed while David was knocked out.

"Alright, lets deal with this piece of metal." David said with a hint of fear in his voice due to how painful he knew this would be.

He took off the backpack and set it beside him, grabbing the metal, he pulled on it as much as he could, successfully ripping it out. He held in a shriek of pain and gritted his teeth only letting out a small grunt. He tossed the metal aside and opened the backpack, after grabbing some pain killers and medical supplies he cleaned and covered the wound as best he could. Putting loose supplies back, he picked up the backpack and settled it on his back once more.

"Damn that hurt!" He said with slight irritation.

After resting for a few more minutes, he leaned off of the rubble and looked around, decided to just walk forward and see if he could find a town or anything. He was stopped after a few steps by the sound of movement behind him. He spun around only to spot a creature of black and green.

"What the hell are you!?" He managed to spit out in disgust

Suddenly the creature speaks with a female yet twisted voice

"Me? Oh I'm just simply the queen of the changelings you fool!" She spat out in reply

"What the fu-, wait... changeling?" He realized who he was talking to, but couldn't believe it.

"No, it can't be... I'm dreaming!" David said in shock and disbelief.

"Oh no, you are very much awake, but not for long~..." Chrysalis said with a smirk

Music

David spots 5 changelings land beside her, only to begin creeping in a stance to pounce.

Realizing that he had to react soon or meet a painful death, David lifting his gun up from beside him and pulled the trigger twice, missing the first time but luckily the second bullet lands a hit in one of the changelings head, letting out a trail of green blood as it got knocked over onto it's back.

"What is that thing!?" Chrysalis hisses

Once David noticed the fear in their eyes, he began marching forward with the gun in two hands, opening fire.
He scored a headshot on the next changeling again leaving a trail of green blood. One of the changelings jumped forward
after David, as he noticed it he spun around while lifting his right leg and met the changeling's head with the back of his boot knocking the changeling to the ground. The force of the kick left it unconscious, lifting his handgun back up he pulled the trigger and and left a hole in the chest of the fourth changeling. As the last changeling charged him, he lifted his boot and smashed the changelings head into the ground snapping it's neck. He then turned around and shot the unconscious changeling in the head to make sure it wouldn't get back up. Marching up to Chrysalis last as she stood there in shock from what just happened, he lifted his gun to her head, shockingly enough she was eye level with him so it was easy to stare he in the eyes.

"Go, before I add another corpse to the area" David said having some mercy on her, although he was still in disbelief that he had his gun pointed right at the changeling queens head.

"Behind you~" She said with a devilish smirk

David spun around as fast as he could to try and stop what ever was behind him but was too late, as he began to turn he was met with a blunt pain to his right cheek knocking him to the ground and shattering one of the lenses on his mask, lucky for him, the helmet took most of the hit.

As soon as David recovered he rolled onto his back to try and grab his gun but Chrysalis stepped on top of him and pinned his arms to the ground.

"Yes~" Chrysalis said with a disgusting tone.

She began leaning forward while revealing her teeth, as she got close to his neck, he took the chance and lifted his boot to her waist, kicking with all his force.

"GAH!" She yelled and grunted

She moved one of her hooves to her gut, releasing his right arm, he used his right hand to grab her horn and shatter it in two, then he landed an uppercut to her jaw knocking her off of him. He stood up as quickly as he could, grabbing his handgun as he stood up. Once he was up he took aim only to see three changelings flying off carrying Chrysalis, deciding to spare them he chose not to shoot.

As soon as they were out of sight, he dropped to the ground on his knees letting out a sigh, then beginning to chuckle.

"I can't believe I just tore her horn off, I thought they were stronger than that." David said softly as he was tired from what just happened.

He soon remembers what resulted in him crashing here.

"Damn it Drake..." He says as he closed his eyes.

Suddenly before he could react, he heard a whistling sound and spotted something small and blue.

"Ah shi-" He was cut short but a sudden sting in his chest and blacked out.

Being followed

January 4th, 2018 - 8:00 AM

"Good luck, ya... I'll probably need it." David groaned as he awoke.

Opening his eyes, he finds out he was left laying down on a dirt trail.

"That's nice, the least they could've done was leave me sitting against a tree." He spoke with a sarcastic tone.

Alright, where is the bag of supplies they spoke of?"

He stood up and began taking in the surrounding area, now that the sun was out it was much easier to see. He was on a dirt trail surrounded by trees, the leaves had just began sprouting. There was a chill in the air along with the fresh scent, there were birds chirping off in the distance and squirrels were climbing the trees. David decided to take a look at his watch to figure out just what time it was.

"Okay, it's 8:05. If Ponyville is just a mile away it should only take me a few minutes to get there if I jog. Ah, there's the bag."

David spotted the bag on the side of the trail hanging on the branch, it looks as though they took his medical bag and added the extra supplies to it.

"Alright now that I got the bag, I should probably find my way to Ponyville. I swear I feel like something is watching me... it's probably nothing." David noted while looking around.

David decided to get a move on towards Ponyville that was only a short distance away. After jogging for a few minutes he arrived at the entrance to the town, the entrance of the town is a small bridge with a purple tint crossing over a canal of water passing around the outskirts of the town. The buildings all have a medieval design to them, the roof tops seem to be made of hay while the walls seem to be made of wood and other materials, the walls are painted white the windows all have different designs to them, some are pink and some are blue.

"So, this is Ponyville? It's certainly bigger than I thought. I wonder wha-"

*Rustle* *Rustle*

David was cut off by rustling in the bushes nearby, which also startled him since he was in thought. After settling himself he decides to investigate. Taking a few steps forward he begins to hear even more movement from the bush, he begins to reach out towards the bush but is stopped by a voice behind him.

"Hey, uh, what are you?"

Turning around David sets his eyes on what looks like a small purple and green lizard, but quickly recognizes him as Spike the baby dragon.

'It would probably be better if I act like I've never seen him before...' David begins thinking in his head to avoid suspicion.
"Oh ya, well I'm what you call a human. My name is David, what's your name?"

David and Spike suddenly hear the bushes behind them move but then hear something run off like death itself is chasing it.

"Um, what ever that was, anyway my name is Spike. I'm a dragon, weird I've never heard of a human before, I wonder if Twilight knows anything..." Spike trails off in thought, nearly mumbling the last few words while placing his claw to his chin in thought.

"Um, well I'm new around here... I was hoping to find a place to stay, do you know of an inn or anything of the sort?"

"Oh ya, sorry about that... I think Twilight can help you, I can show you where she is."

"Ah sure if it's no problem. I do believe she is the librarian here, correct?"

"Uh ya, surprising you know that since you're not from here..."

"Oh well ya, she is uh... anyway, which way is it?" David said hoping to avoid the subject

"Okay then, well um, follow me." Spike finished motioning for David to follow him.

'I wonder why Spike was out here by himself... weird' David began wondering as to why the baby dragon was out and about.

=========================

Bad Land Territory - The Hive

(9:00 AM - Same day)

"Damn that foul being!"

Chrysalis slams the ground with her hoof in rage

"How could I have been so easily defeated, and what was that weapon of fire it carried... it couldn't have been of magic, I did not sense any presence of magic within it. Minion, come!"

One of Chrysalis' minions landed in front of her, curious as to why it's queen has summoned it.

"I want you to study this new creature. Find out what you can about it then report to me your findings."

The minion bowed to it's queen before setting off on it's mission.

"Now then, lets see what we can find out about you." Chrysalis finished with a wicked smile.

==============

Back in Ponyville

"Alright, here we are. The library." Spike began as he finished leading David around the town.

"Thanks Spike, listen, since you lead me to the library , let me know if you need help with anything and I'll do what I can, alright?"

"Uh sure, thanks." Spike said with a smile forming on his face.

"No problem." David finished as he was reaching for the door handle.

*BOOM*

Spike and David share a glance of confusion then open the door to the library. They come upon a scene of Chaos, books are scattered about, the table is flipped, ink is on the wall and there is a massive scorch mark on the wall. Spike spots Twilight buried in a pile of books.

"Twilight! What happened here!?" Spike exclaimed in a slight panic but also with a tone making it sound like this happens all the time.

"Uuugh, I'm fine Spike, just a failed potion mixture..." Twilight explains, obviously in pain from the blast.

David runs over to the pile of books and starts setting some aside to dig Twilight out. After moving a few books he spots the top of Twilight's head, her purple mane with pink stripe going across, her mane is an absolute mess from the explosion.

"Ah, thanks Spik- AHHH!" Twilight panics as soon as she looked at David.

"AHHH!" David jumped back, surprised by Twilight's sudden reaction.

"Oh I'm so sorry, you just surprised me is all, I imagine you're David?"

Although David is very surprised with how Twilight instantly switched from panic to calm, he is more curious as to how Twilight knows his name.

"Uhhh, ya... I'm David... how do you know my name?"

"Oh, the Princess sent me a letter earlier letting me know that a strange being that walks on two legs would be arriving today, she wanted me to alert the citizens so there would be no panic at the sudden appearance of some strange new creature. I must say, you are an interesting being."

'Huh, like I haven't heard that enough already." David thought with slight sarcasm.

"Ya, I've been getting that a lot. Anyway are you sure you're alright? It looks like that explosion caused some damage."

"Oh yes, I'm fine. This isn't the first time it happened." She said nodding at Spike.

"Yes, this has happened quite a bit in the past." Spike spoke with slight irritation.

"Anyway, I do believe you will be needing a place to stay, I have a spare room just over there." Twilight gestured towards a door on the opposite side of the room.

"Oh that's alright, I couldn't. I came by to ask if you knew about any Inn's near by I could stay at, I mean no offense, I appreciate the offer really, but I cannot accept. I just can't mooch off of anyone." David started trying to avoid having to stay with Twilight, he knew that she generally had enough issues to deal with.

"No I insist, if you really feel that way about mooching off of me, then you can pay me back by letting me do some research on you. I'm very interested in your species, I'm mean, just look at those limbs!" Twilight started getting excited and trailing off while gesturing towards David's arms and legs, including his hands and fingers.

"Okay okay okay, I agree but that still doesn't fix the fact that I feel like I'm just living off of you." David stated trying his best to avoid any tests Twilight may attempt on him while rambling on.

"Excellent! Your room is right over there, go ahead and get comfortable while Spike and I clean up in here." Twilight exclaimed with excitement.

David nodded with a smile in appreciation, helping Twilight out of the pile of books. As Twilight escaped her prison of books, David took notice of he wings, bringing back the memory of season three when she became an Alicorn. After helping her out of the pile, he began his march towards his soon-to-be-room.

After entering his room, he let out a sigh in relief that he had somewhere to stay for the night.

'I nearly forgot she became an Alicorn... I wonder why she is still in the library, better not think about it.' With this thought, David noticed an object viewing him from his window towards the right, as soon as he dared a glance, the object sped off with incredible speed.

"Okay! That confirms it, SOMEONE is following me!" David yelled out in irritation, but keeping it low enough to not disturb Twilight and Spike.

Walking over to his window, he opened it to see who could've been watching him. While looking out his window, he noticed it was too high for an earth pony or unicorn so it had to be something that could fly.

'Damn, who would be so interested in me, that they would be stalking me?'

After returning his focus to his room he took note of what was in the proximity. A bed in the left side of the room from the door with the length of it against the wall in the corner of the room, large enough for two ponies but just the right size for one human length wise but a little large with width, a dresser sitting next to the window that is just as tall as him and a coffee table with a lamp on it beside the bed.

Opening the dresser he took note that the left door opened up to a bunch of slots for storing smaller objects such as jewellery and the like. The right side for clothes with a few hangers hanging on a bar going across the width of the dresser.

David chose to set his medical bag on the right side, taking out his bits he set them into one of the jewellery boxes. While doing this, he realized just how long it been since he last ate, thanks to his stomach reminding him. With this he opened his bag and grabbed the two apples, consuming both within a few minutes. Once he was finished he took another look around the room, surely enough, there is a small trash bin under the coffee table. Tossing the apple cores away, he figured by now Twilight would probably be finished with cleaning or be near done with it, so he chose to head out and see if she would like to talk.

"Hey Twilight, you need any help?" David asked as he walked out of his room

"No, Spike and I got everything cleaned." Twilight responded

Taking a look around the room, to David's amazement, everything is clean. The ink spill is gone, the books are back on the shelves, and the scorch is gone, Twilight was even able to fix her mane with how messed it was.

"Wow, that's amazing. I suppose I should've expected as much since you control magic."

"Alright, well I would love to begin studying you if you don't mind." Twilight said as she grabbed a quill and scroll with her magic.

'I can already tell this is gonna be awhile' David thought out while whimpering in his head.

"Alright, lets begin!" David exclaimed with fake excitement.

"Excellent!" Twilight said as Spike walked up the stairs to take a nap.

Author's Note

Chapter Five will be out tomorrow.

More than one

January 4th, 2018 - 10:37 PM

"Okay last question for today..." Twilight announced

"Shoot" David spoke while slouching in his chair with ten empty cups on the table next to him

"How do humans mate?" Twilight asked with a quiet voice

David's eyes shot out wide as he was taking a sip of coffee, nearly spitting all of it on Twilight from the surprising question.

"*Cough* *Cough* Agh, uh... um... well you see... uhh.... we um..." David is still in shock from this

"Well you see... when a female and male love each other very much...-" David started to explain like he was speaking to a child

"Okay, if you don't want to explain it now, you don't have to..." Twilight spoke with a sigh at the end.

'Thank you sweet baby hades!' David yelled out in his head

Twilight and David spent the entire day on one subject, the human body. Twilight had completed several tests and scans of David to see how the human body was built and how it worked. She constantly asked him questions while doing these tests such as, "How do you clean yourselves?" or "How fast can humans run?".

"Okay well it's getting late, we should be heading off to bed. Good night David." Twilight said with a yawn at the end.

The events of today were catching up with David, even with the eleven cups of coffee, all the energy he got from them was spent thanks to all of Twilight's tests.

"Alright Twilight, I'll see you tomorrow." David said as he walked towards his room.

Once David entered his room, he took his boots off as well as his camo button up shirt and tossed all three aside towards the dresser. While doing this, he spotted something at the corner of his eye in the window. Once he looked over it sped off with a blur.

"Damn it, how long is this going to go on!?" David growled

"Forget it, I'll worry about it tomorrow." David said with a sigh as he jumped onto his bed.

"Bed... oh how I missed you so, at least this time I won't wake up on a dirt trail or in the cockpit of a piece of rubble..." he said as he drifted off to the world of dreams.

January 5th, 2018 - 8:11 AM

*Mumble* *Mumble*

"meh gah" David awoke to voices coming from the front door of the library.

"Alright, let's see what's up." David groaned as he slipped off the bed onto the floor.

David grabbed his boots and slipped them on, he grabbed his button up shirt and put it into the dresser. Leaving him in just his white shirt, camo pants, and boots. He reached inside the dresser and grabbed his bag of bits knowing he would be going out today to take a look around the town, as well as attempt to find out who has been following him.

David opened the door to his room, spotting Twilight speaking with a unicorn, one who is white and has a well done mane.

"Twilight, who is this, 'human' you speak of? I mean, I've never even heard of such a creature dear." The pony spoke with a fancy yet confused tone.

Twilight spots David as he leaves his room

"Well Rarity, he's right behind you." Twilight says as she nods her head towards you.

Rarity turns around and lays her eyes upon David, her iris' shrinking as she spots the five foot tall being.

(David was also known for being one of the shortest people in his platoon, standing at 5'7)
Rarity and Twilight stood at about four feet tall, not much shorter than David but still having to look up to look him in the eyes.

David walked over to Rarity and knelt onto one knee, giving a small bow to Rarity knowing how formal she normally is, while introducing himself.

"Hello Ms. Rarity, my name is David. A pleasure to meet you." David spoke, attempted to sound formal

Rarity still stood there in slight shock of seeing a creature so interesting, still she spoke.

"A pleasure to meet you as well David." Rarity spoke in her normal formal tone while calming herself.

Remembering he needed to go out today, he spoke.

"I don't mean to be rude, but I need to get going. I need to get some things in town."

"Okay, just take it slow, the others in this town have never seen anything like you, the closest being a diamond dog or griffin. So even though I told them about you, they may show fear at first." Twilight warned

"Alright, thanks for the heads up Twilight." With this, he looked at Rarity who was still staring at him with interest

"It was a pleasure meeting you Rarity, but I need to get going."

Rarity shook her head, releasing herself from her trance, then spoke up.

"Oh it's fine dear, but you simply must come by the Carousel Boutique! I must take a look at your clothes in more detail, in fact, Twilight here told me a lot about you. Since you just arrived here I assume you have nothing but what you're wearing right now?" Rarity spoke with a calm but also very interested manner

"Uh, yes, this is all I have. As long as I can clean them, then I should be fine." David knew where this conversation was leading, and knowing how Rarity was he was trying to avoid it, not only because he didn't want her worrying about his clothes, but also because Rarity could get out of hand with fashion.

"Oh no, that simply won't do dear. You come by the Carousel Boutique later and we'll get you situated with some new clothes as long as you agree to being measured, I insist!" Rarity said, with a proud tone

David decided to give in knowing he couldn't argue with the fashion crazed mare.

"All right, I'll come by later when I have the time, thank you Rarity." David sighed in defeat.

After saying their goodbyes, David walked out the front door of the library, catching more than a few stares from the nearby townsfolk. But that is also when it hit him.

'Ah crap, I don't know where to go. Well, I suppose I could just walk around and learn the town myself.' David took a deep breath of fresh air, then began walking.

After walking about the town for awhile, he managed to find a small cafe that served fresh baked bagels as well as coffee.
After breakfast, he continued about the town, every now and then noticing a figure stalking him from the rooftops, and yet he still couldn't make out the full figure of it.

'Why would someone be following me like this, am I really that beautiful?' David chuckled at the sarcastic thought.

After walking for a few more minutes trying to map out the town, David noticed he was being followed, not only by a Pegasus which he figured out since it was flying and following him, but he also noticed a mint green mare following behind him. He was able to notice where she what she was paying most attention to, his hands...

'Oh god, is that who I think it is?' David began wondering as he sped up his walking, hoping to avoid the hand crazed mare.

As he sped up, he noticed the mare behind him begin speeding up her walking and more shifting to a small jog to keep up.

'Hades, if she catches me, please have mercy!' David began to panic a bit, worried about what the mare will do if she catches him, at the same time noticing the Pegasus above still hot on pursuit.

'OH shit, are these two working together or something!?' As David was trying to work out a plan to lose the two stalkers, he spotted an alley way, hoping it would lead him to the other street, he took the chance.

As David entered the alleyway, he found to his disappointment, and also panic, that it was a dead end. He began to panic knowing that there was no way out, as he turned around to make a run for it, he spotted a mare at the end of the alleyway, staring back at him, he just couldn't make out what she really looked like thanks to the light coming from behind her compared to the dark alley he was in.

'Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit' David was beginning to worry, he felt a bead of sweat roll down his forehead and off his cheek, he could handle himself in combat, but against a mare? He wouldn't dare attacking a resident of Ponyville for the fear of Princess Celetia herself coming to kill him, or the entire town turning against him, also because the fact he just didn't want to attack anyone here.

The mare began walking towards him, after a few steps her figure began to be revealed slowly, at this he noticed that she was wearing a hat, a stetson to be more specific. After a few moments, he heard it speak to him.

"Howdy, if yer don't mind me askin', what are you? Also, who are you?"

After a few moments of standing there, he came to realize that this must be Applejack, knowing that she wouldn't do anything crazy, he relaxed, finally realizing how tense he become.

"Oh, well I'm what you call a human, also my name is David. Sorry if I seemed extremely tense for a moment there, I just was startled is all." David began walking towards AJ, taking a knee in front of her.

"Oh it's quite alright, the names Applejack, my family runs Sweet Apple Acres just outside of town. I noticed you walking and figured you were new, since I never seen anything quite like you. I spoke to Twilight so I figure yer friendly enough, and a friend of Twilight is a friend of mine. Listen, if you need a job, don't be afraid to ask, we certainly could use the help."

At that statement, David remembered he needed to find a job if he was to live here.

"Alright, well I suppose I'll take you up on that offer Applejack, seeing as I don't have a job here. Um, when would I start?" David was feeling relieved knowing that he would be working for the Apple family, knowing Applejack was true to her word.

"You can start on Monday sugercube, we start working around eight in the mornin'. We don't have any set time to stop workin', so you can leave once we're all done."

"That's good with me, thanks Applejack, it's much appreciated." David spoke with a thankful tone.

"Oh it's nothin' sugercube, just don't make me regret it." She said with a smile.

After they finished talking, they both said goodbye and went their separate ways. David noticed the mint green mare was gone, but he still spotted the Pegasus every now and then.

'Not so sneaky, are ya huh?' David thought with a smirk

David suddenly noticed a puff of pink to his right, hearing a loud gasp at the same time, before he could speak, he saw it shoot off with a blur.

'Ah shit, well now I'm gonna have to worry about a surprise party.' David knew it was Pinkie Pie, and knowing how she was, he knew she would go to Twilight and attempt a surprise party.

After walking around town for a few minutes, he found the Carousel Boutique, remembering his promise he decided to march in.

'Ho boy, just like Twilight, this is gonna take awhile...' David thought with dread

And with his thought, he marched into the Boutique, like the brave trooper he was.

Author's Note

Sorry about that delay, I've been busy for awhile, the next chapter should be out faster than this one was.

So close [Mini-chapter]

January 5th, 2018 - 5:19 PM

"Are we done yet?" David asked with an impatient tone

"For the eleventh time... no." Rarity spoke as she continued to measure him

David let out a long sigh, but continued to stand in place as a statue as Rarity continued to measure him, after a few minutes he asked again.

"...We done yet?" David asked again

"Yes, we are. You're free to go David." Rarity said with a sigh

"Thank you for this Rarity, I'm going to get dinner and probably head back to Twilight's."

"Alrighty David, ta-ta."

David walked out the front of the Carousel Boutique, taking in the fresh air after the long three hours of nothing but gaseous perfume. After taking several deep breathes, David began walking while looking for somewhere to dine out. Fortunately, he found a restaurant on the edge of town that serves Griffins, meaning that there will be meat inside.

"Griffons Goblet, interesting name..." David said as he walked in

David had found out from his chat with Twilight earlier that Griffons aren't always the nicest creatures, but fortunately for him, the owner of the restaurant was one of the few friendly Griffons that has no issue serving a creature he's never seen before. After ordering and consuming a steak, David continued through town, the sun was going down, it was at the midpoint where half the sun is peaking over the horizon and the sky is growing an orange tint. Though, this is when David spotted his stalker again.

"Okay I've had enough of this, time to find out who this is." David said with irritation as he spotted an alleyway

"Ya, this should work just fine..." David walked into the alleyway and took cover behind a few small trash cans, concealing him enough right beside a corner.

*clop* *clop* *clop*

'Perfect, whoever this is landed to follow me...' David thought in his head while hiding behind three trash cans

As his stalker approached the corner he was hiding in, he got into a stance to pounce so he could catch them. As soon as he saw them come around the corner, he took the leap in an attempt to catch them.

[Music]Right click open new tab

As David lunged forward, his stalker spotted him and sped off forward leaving David in the dust. It was too dark in the alleyway for him to make out who this person is, all he could tell was that it was a female Pegasus from the shape of the body. David got back onto his feet as fast as he could and took off after his stalker.

The Pegasus took a right out of the alleyway with David hot on pursuit, as David rounded the corner he spotted the Pegasus leaping off of the ground spreading her wings, he grabbed an apple that was on the ground that fell off a counter from one of the merchants and tossed it at the Pegasus' wings. The apple sped through the air and smacked the Pegasus in her wing ruining her flight before she could get far causing her to smash into the ground, thankfully on some grass. David ran as fast as his two legs could go but he was too slow, the Pegasus recovered quickly shaking her self off and taking another leap into the air spreading her wings once more. Although luck was on David's side, he took another leap managing to grab her rear right hoof before she could get far, this took the Pegasus by surprise causing her to fail a recovery. Both of them smacked into the ground with a loud *THUD*. Both managing to recover, David still had his hand gripping her leg, but she took her left hoof and bucked David's face, primarily his nose. The hit David took caused him to lose his grip on the Pegasus which she wasted no time getting up and running again, while dizzy and in pain, David stood to the best of his ability and took after her again. His vision was slightly blurred from the blow but he kept going, he spotted the Pegasus taking off again. David was too far behind to catch her this time, so he slowed his sprint to a walk, then stopped and stood in place. As the Pegasus sped off in the distance, David suddenly felt something warm just under his nose, as well as the metallic taste of blood.

'Shit, she got me good. I must admit, she's fast, but why is she following me?' David began to wonder as he began walking towards Twilight's house while covering his nose, but he also noticed that no one was around, and that worried him a bit.

"Where is everyone?" David questioned quietly to himself

David quickly arrived at Twilight's library, still being cautious thanks to the sudden form of a ghost town around him.
David twisted the handle to the library and walked in, only to find it to be completely dark inside.

'What the fu-' David's inappropriate thought was interrupted by the sudden sound around him

"SURPRISE!"

Author's Note

Short chapter because it's suppose to be more of a quick scene.

Corrupted

January 5th, 2018 - 7:10 PM

"SURPRISE!" The library was quickly absorbed by the cries of several ponies.

'Damn you Pinkie' David thought with a sarcastic tone

David's vision was obscured by a pink ball of fluff in his face

"HI! My name's Pinkie Pie, and I threw this party just for you!"

"Uh... Hey Pinkie Pie, my name is David." David was still startled by the Pinkie's sudden appearance.

"Thank you for throwing this party for me Pinkie." David said with a warm smile

"Hey it's no biggie! I do this for everyone that is new because everyone's my friend and you are new so I had to throw you a party too!" Pinkie Spoke with her normal mile-a-minute speech

"Well like I said Pinkie, thank you."

After talking with Pinkie, David made his way through the party, introducing himself to most of the ponies there, he even introduced himself to Lyra, who stared at his hands the whole time... David ignored how creepy she was and continued through finally spotting a certain yellow Pegasus with a pink mane. David walked over to the Pegasus to introduce himself.

David took a knee next to the Pegasus

"Hey there, my name is David. What's yours?" David spoke with as gentle a voice he could manage knowing that Fluttershy was very gentle.

"Oh my... my name is... Fluttershy..." Fluttershy wasn't acting as shy as she normally is, she was also turning a tint of red which was easy to see through her yellow coat.

As David continued to talk with Fluttershy, he noticed she kept getting closer to him... very close. Through luck he was lucky somepony else came over to talk to him, saving him from what ever Fluttershy was doing. After talking with this pony named Grass Sweeper, David noticed someone was missing.

'Where's Rainbow Dash? I would've expected her to be one of the first to talk with me, and honestly I was excited to talk with her, being my favorite of the mane six after all.' David began wondering, not noticing Twilight walking up to him.

"Hey David, are you enjoying the party?" Twilight asked with a warm smile

"Uh, ya the party is awesome!" David said with a surprised but happy tone.

"David, is something wrong?" Twilight asked with a look of concern

"Huh? Oh nah nothing, I'm fine. I was just thinking of some things."

"Hm, alright. Well come on, the pa-" *BOOM* The room fell silent as everyone heard a massive explosion outside

Everyone inside Twilight's library ran outside to find the source of the sound, what David and the others found was unbelievable. Not far from Ponyville, they could see smoke and fire rising into the night sky, at sight of this David ran back inside and threw on his second button up shirt and grabbed his combat knife then continued to run back out the door and towards the source of the chaos. As David was running through Ponyville, he was joined by Twilight.

"What do you think caused this!?" Twilight yelled to David as they were running

"I don't know, but we're about to find out!" David yelled in reply as they closed in on the source.

Once they cleared the trees and bushes they came upon a small field, what David spotted... he could not believe.
There was a piece of rubble burning in the field inside a crater with a trail leading up to it, it had the body of a jet, yet no one was inside the cockpit.

"What is that?" Twilight asked with a confused and slightly fearful look on her face

"It's called an F-15... how the-" David cut himself off as he spotted the logo on the side of the cockpit, a viper.

'What the hell, he was shot down back on earth!' David began shooting questions in his head

[Music]Right click open new tab

*thump* *thump* *thump*

David spun around to meet the source of this sound only to receive a swift blunt force to the right side of his head, knocking him to the ground with great force. David smashed into the ground face first.

"Gah!" David yelled out in pain, rolling over to meet his attacker he spotted a black figure wearing a flight helmet delivering a swift kick to the side of Twilight's head knocking her unconscious.

"Oh fuck no!" David yelled as he rose to his feet.

When his attacker turned around to face him, David spotted something very off with his eyes, through the goggles of the flight helmet, David could see his eyes were glowing green and red. David also spotted the name tag on his shoulder.

"Drake!?" David yelled in shock

His attacker only flinched at the name, he began charging at David to which David holstered his knife, not wanting to harm Drake.

"Drake, don't fucking do this!"

His attacker ignored the comment, leaping at David while pulling his right arm back for a head on strike.

'Shit, alright have it your way.' And with this, David completed a combat roll to the right to avoid Drake's attack.

As David got onto his feet he charged at Drake, jumping into the air he pulled his legs in then thrusted them both back out at the right time to deliver a blow to Drake's back, knocking him face first to the ground. David quickly returned to his feet facing Drake as he began to stand up, at this moment David noticed a green glint off in the distance in the woods, quickly after spotting the glint he saw what looked like a green plasma fly through the air hitting him in his chest, successfully knocking him onto his back.

"FUCK!" David yelled in pain as he could hear an audible *sssssssss* sound coming from his chest.

David's vision was blurred as he spotted a human figure alongside what looked like a tall mutated pony marching towards him.

'Chrysalis...' David hissed in his head

David could only prop himself up with his elbows because of the immense pain in his chest. As the two figures got within two feet of him, he heard a massive explosion from the sky above, all three figures looked up to spot the source of the interruption only to spot the color spectrum shooting off in all directions with a trail leading from the middle, the trail in the middle closed in on Chrysalis, slamming into Chrysalis launching a massive cloud of smoke into the air and knocking Drake to the side. After what looked like a missile strike, David spotted several blurred figures appear from above the tree line.

*SSSSSS*

The pain in David's chest increased, his vision becoming more blurred and slowly began to fade to black and all sounds slowly becoming even more quiet. Right before everything cut to black, David heard a female voice call out his name in desperation and fear.

*Silence*

Author's Note

Sorry for how long it took, next chapter will be out sooner.

Cleansed

Time: Unknown

"Where am I?" David asked as he looked around him, he couldn't see anything except for a cyan mist surrounding his feet.
He was in a black void, just like when he first arrived.

"Hello! Anyone there?" David yelled out hoping to hear a reply.

"I am here David." A female voice spoke from behind him.

David whipped around to spot the source of the voice, only to find Princess Luna sitting only a few feet away from him.

"Come, take a seat." Luna requested in a kind voice.

David walked towards her and sat down with his feet crossed.

"Princess Luna, I'm very pleased to see you but I must know, where am I?"

"Likewise David, you are in a coma. You have been in this condition for two weeks."

David's jaw dropped upon hearing this

'Two weeks...' David was in shock from how long he has been out.

"Yes, two weeks." Luna answered his thought.

"You can hear my thoughts?" David looked up to her in surprise.

Luna chuckled, "No David, I just knew you would think it."

"Okay, well... what happened? After I got hit by that shot of plasma from Chrysalis, all I can remember is some massive explosion, a few figures appearing above the tree line, and that's it." David asked, wanting to know how everything went down.

"Well David, first I want you to know that you and everyone are safe. You are currently being held in Ponyville's hospital with some professionals from Canterlot on changeling magic. Now, here is what happened after you black out..."

Field near Ponyville

"David!" Twilight yelled as she woke from her unconscious state.

Twilight had spotted the massive explosion that everyone knows as, the Sonic Rainboom.

'Rainbow Dash?' Twilight began to wonder as she rose to her hooves. That's when she spotted several changelings appear from above the treeline, on the opposite side she spotted trails of smoke and lightning appear zooming across the sky towards the changelings.

All ten changelings looked towards the objects just in time to get smacked out of the sky. As the objects came to a hover, Twilight was able to make out their uniforms. It was the Wonderbolts. The changelings recovered quickly before they hit the ground, only one crashed head first ending it's life. The nine changelings shot back up towards the three Wonderbolts, two split of towards one of them, the Wonderbolt completed a mid air back flip to dodge one of the changelings, while half way through the flip he brought his rear hooves out and successfully landed a hit on the second changelings neck, knocking him out. The other changeling came back in only to receive three swift punches to the chest and head, to finish him off, the Wonderbolt charged into it's stomach at full force emitting a loud crack.

Twilight looked away from what was going on in the sky and looked back towards where David lay, next to him was Princess Luna, her horn was glowing and the green plasma on his chest was slowly dissipating into a green mist. Not too far was Celestia, currently firing some kind of blue magic onto the other human, the green tint to his eyes slowly dissipated and his eyes were returning to normal, the whole time his body slowly calmed down from trying to resist. Only a few feet away, she spotted a cyan blur alongside five night guards chasing down Chrysalis as she flew off into the forest, after she was out of sight, they returned and the cyan pony shot off into the night sky while the five night guards returned to Luna as she picked David up with her magic and teleported, most likely to the hospital, while Celestia picked up the other human and teleported as well. Twilight looked back towards the Wonderbolts and saw them chasing three changelings towards the forest. Twilight decided to head to the hospital to see how David was doing.

David's dream

"So... a battle continued to rage on after I was knocked out from that plasma..." David asked

"Yes, after that there have been no major events except trying to keep you alive." Luna answered

"But... why? Why would you all fight so much to keep me alive when all I am is just an alien?"

Luna didn't answer. She looked at David with a proud look that told him that she knew something he didn't.

"All in due time David... all in due time." Luna spoke as her form began to fade

David watched her as she dissipated into a black and blue mist, he felt himself slowly begin to warp, he could feel something pulling him out of this dream world in which he currently resides.

Ponyville hospital

David slowly cracked his eyes open, he saw a lot of white.

"I didn't die did I?" David openly asked with a weak chuckle

*SMACK*

"AGH, son of a-" David yelled out but was cut off by something covering his mouth

"Asshole, you are not to die before me!" A male voice spoke in an irritated but relieved tone

David's eyes shot open wide as he recognized the voice, looking over to the source, he was extremely surprised at who he saw.

"Drake!?" David yelled out as he looked at his old friend

Drake smiled as he saw how excited David was

"Yep, it's me buddy."

David jumped forward in his bed and gave his friend a hug strong enough to crush a bear.

Pulling back, David asked Drake a question that popped into his head.

"Drake? How the FUCK did you survive that crash!? I saw your jet on fire along the coast!" David asked as he gave his friend as he gave him a serious stare good enough to scare death himself

"Heh, I was lucky enough to eject out, my radio had been destroyed so I wasn't able to contact you. After you disappeared we launched an attack on them only two days later, we destroyed their base, but something odd happened on the return. There was this extremely thick fog that came in, my wing was hit by a bolt of lightning, how it didn't do more damage than it did, I have no clue. As I was descending upon the ocean, I clipped a part of this Rainbow that caused some weird effect to absorb my jet, after it dissipated I crashed into some small weird close by to this town. Shortly after escaped the burning inferno, I was attacked by these weird black and green alien ponies or something. The big one shot me with some weird green laser, after that I don't remember much. I woke up to see Celestia, I remember you telling me about her from the show you used to watch, let's just say it took them five days to calm me down. I'm still in quite the amount of disbelief that we ended up in Equestria." Drake explained as best he could of what has happened.

"Ah yes, after convincing Celestia that I wasn't a threat to her, she told me that you were here as well. She assumed you and I were related since we are both humans and have the same hair color, heh heh. Well, she sent me here to Ponyville under the supervision of this pony named Twilight Sparkle. She introduced me to her friends, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and who else? Ah yes, Pinkie Pie. Pinkie threw me some, 'Welcome to Ponyville' party. Weird thing is, there is some weird green pony who keeps stalking me... anyway, after meeting everyone I was lucky enough to get a job here. My job is a new one that the Princess created for me, I work on aircraft. She showed me to the wrecks of both jets and let me salvage what I could. Rainbow Dash has been asking me tons of questions about them, funny thing is, she keeps asking me questions about you... ah yes, also the Princess had also done some weird memory spell on me to view my life thus far, let's just say, they are creating electronics now because of the knowledge she got from me, she was able to use my memories, to hook into others from our world. She knows more about our world now than I ever did, she learned about my love for T.Vs and such and some how, I don't know how, she created copies of our movies, games, electronics and such with some weird formation spell. She said she would only do this once for both you and I because... she said there was something special about us two, I don't know... but ya, that's what has happened so far."

David just stared at Drake with several emotions showing, he asked the main question that came to mind though.

"Rainbow Dash was asking you questions about me? I haven't seen her once so far, why did she meet you but avoid me?" David asked with a worried looking, he was worried she didn't like him, even though she was his favorite of the mane six, so thanks to that thought, he was even more worried now.

"You know, I didn't give it much thought... I don't kn-" Drake was cut off as a nurse trotted into the room, she was white with a pink mane, she had a red cross as her cutie mark and wore her mane in a bun with a small white cap on her head.

"Sorry Drake, visiting hours are over, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave for now." She explained to Drake with a warm smile

"It's alright Redheart, alright David... I'll see you tomorrow." And with that Drake stood up and waved to David as he walked out the door.

David looked over to the nurse as she trotted up next to him

"Hello David, I'm nurse Redheart. I came in to check up on you, it's good to see you're awake, after being out cold for two weeks. Now then, you were hit by a plasma spell by Queen Chrysalis, Princess Luna was able to cleanse anything she put on you, you had a broken rib which was fixed with magic, you were lucky it didn't pierce on organs. It was also thanks to your friend Drake, that Princess Celestia was able to get all the medical knowledge of your kind so we could fix everything. Alright, you need your rest, that was a coma you were in, not real sleep so your body needs rest, if you remain in good condition, then we should be able to get you out of the hospital within a week."

David practically jumped with joy are hearing about how soon he could get out of the hospital. That was when he also realized that Nurse Redheart was right, he was very tired.

"Ya, I suppose I'm tired heh." David spoke tiredly

With a smile, Nurse redheart nodded to David and trotted out of the room, she brought in some food before David fell asleep and let him eat, after consuming his rather bland meal, he fell asleep, but not without thinking of something that was nagging at his mind now.

'Why is Rainbow Dash avoiding me?' With that, David drifted off, into the world of slumber.

Blue and white

January 3rd, 2018 - 2:11 AM

"Ow." David groaned, he woke up with a slight headache, not to mention he was laying on his back and his eyes were still closed.

"What in the name of Hades was that blue thing!?" David yelled out with his eyes still closed.

David noticed a slight change, there was no wind, no sound, no grass, just nothing. He couldn't feel the grass from earlier, and he couldn't feel a slight breeze, there was absolutely no sound besides his own voice and movement. Realizing this, David chose to take a peek.

Opening one eye slightly, all he could see was darkness.

'I have gone blind or am I looking at the night sky?' David thought out in his head

Finally he opened both eyes and chose to sit up, after a moment of looking around, he realized that... there was nothing nearby, just a black void. Panic in the sudden change of scenery as well as the fact all he could see was his own body, he started shouting, hoping someone might hear him.

"Hello!? Is anyone there!?" He yelled out, panic obvious in the tone of his voice.

"Do not worry, you're safe here." A soothing female voice called out to him amongst the darkness.

"Who are you? More importantly, WHERE are you!?" David called out slightly calming himself.

"All in due time, the question is, who are you, what are you?"

"Alright fine." David sighed, standing up he introduced himself, knowing it was either that or be trapped.
"My name is David, I am a fighter pilot for the United States Airforce, and well... I'm a human." David said with a confused tone.

"I've never heard of such beings, nor seen one. You are an interesting creature."

"Alright alright, before we continue, I demand to know where I am!" David said with a serious tone.

"I suppose I owe you that much. You are being held in the Canterlot dungeon. I put you under a spell that put you into a deep slumber that only I can wake you from. We did this so that we may speak with you without danger of being assaulted by you, considering what you did to the changeling queen."

"I suppose that makes sen- wait, did you say we? Who are you, and who else is there with you? Also, how are you speaking to me if I'm in some dream!?" David began raising his voice in mass confusion.

At that moment, David noticed two objects emerging from the black void. David recognized them, he expected this when she mentioned Canterlot except he couldn't believe it so he needed a confirmation. David saw no harm in them finding out he knew who they were, since they were...

"Princess Luna, Celestia?" David said with a fake expression of shock.

"Yes, I am surprised you know who we are." Luna exclaimed with a slight tone of surprise.

"Well, you two are well known where I come from."

"If that is the case, then please tell us where you came from, as far as we know, there are no records of... your species." Celestia stepped forward.

"Before that, Luna how is she here as well? No offense Celestia."

Celestia nodded in understanding.

"I am able to bring others into someone's dream world if I wish, not just myself." Luna explained.

'That's some inception shit right there...' David thought

"Okay then, I suppose I should explain." David said knowing there was no other way out of this.

In the course of a couple hours, David managed to explain all he knew about humans, earth, his military, what happened before he got here, as well as how he got here from what he knew. He reassured them that he meant no harm to pony kind, as well as explaining he was more than willing to take the side of the crown against all hostiles, figuring he most likely had no way to get back to earth.

David happened to think realistically about most situations and chose to go with the flow, so he would make the best of any situation and just go with what ever comes his way. He was still shocked knowing he some how got to Equestria, but chose not to question what happened and see it as more of a blessing in a way, remembering his battle with Chrysalis earlier.

"Well, you have a fascinating species. We must remember to add this to our records as soon as possible." Celestia spoke with an expression on her face that was difficult to figure out, considering she had a straight face. Although the tone of her voice showed she was a little surprised that this had never happened in her lifetime until now.

"Well, I deem you as no threat as of the time being. We shall release you. Under one condition..." Celestia began...

"Yes?" David asked with interest.

"You must stay in a town of our choosing and stay there until we deem you a citizen of Equestria as well as no threat to the throne." Celestia continued to explain.

"Done, where will you have me go?" David asked

"The town of Ponyville, we shall release you one mile out of the town and provide you with a bag of supplies, the bag shall include fifty bits as well as two apples to get you started. You must find yourself some shelter for we cannot provide a home at this time." Celestia finished explaining.

"Thank you, your highness. You have been very kind and generous." David exclaimed thankful they were going to release him.

"You are welcome, you have shown much respect and we appreciate this. Now, like we said before, you shall awaken one mile outside of Ponyville, travel there and find shelter. Thanks to Luna's spell, you shall awaken well rested so no need for trying to rush yourself for shelter, for we shall make sure you wake in the early morning." Celestia said with a kind voice.

"Got it, again thank you for this generosity, it may not be much, but if there are ever any emergencies I am more than willing to assist however I can." David offered.

"We shall see, but for now, we must go. You will be waking soon, good luck in Ponyville, David." Luna spoke up this time to close up everything.

"Thank you Princess, I hope we can speak again."

"We will, all in due time..." Luna finished.

And with that, David was suddenly blinded by a white light, as he found himself being drawn out of the dream world.

"Good luck." David could not make out which Princess said this, but it was the last thing he heard, before everything went silent.
