The year is 2025 my name is Dan I'm a small, frail 16 year old male with short brown hair, blue eyes, with the face of an
innocent 12 year old today I am wearing a plain white t-shirt, jeans and old black sneakers.
I live in Florida and go to Dream Host Senior High which is linked to Star Hope Junior High I have a pretty good average life
good parents, my best friend John, excellent grades, and have a life planed for me but the thing is that the world is in a
major war that started 11 years ago when president Barrack Obama was somehow killed but the thing is no one knows who
killed him and then the U.S started blaming Germany who then blamed Russia and then so on until Canada and Japan
became the only countries that were safe and not effected by the war...yet. Well because of this I feel very lonely which
makes me believe that most humans are either violent, greedy, lazy and scared or any combination of the 4.
The only person I ever met thats not like that is, John my best friend.
I woke up and watched the news and i sighed when i heard that Russia bombed Korea who in return nuked a quarter of Russia and ran to school cause my alarm clock never works on Mondays and I end up sleeping in. I walked in the school just as the bell rang I walked down the hallway and went to my first class science. I took my seat and listened to my teacher Mr. Henderson he was a good teacher and all but he had a bad habit of trying to convert Atheists into Christians.
" We must all listen to the word of God and read the Bible cause if we don't we will go to hell and not heaven in fact today we could die and end up burning for all eternity with the Devil!" I mostly ignored him as I doodled in my textbook even though I was a christian unlike most of the students here I hate it though when people force religion onto others.
After the first and second period was lunch so I went to go meet my best friend John after buying some pizza I froze in fear when I saw my only problem in this school. It was Sam the school bully he was the kind of guy with a Dwayne Johnson build you would want run before he saw you trust me he's that scary. He took my pizza and shoved it in my face and then tripped me without looking at me the entire time and left without a word I was about to cry (ok I will admit that I am pathetic and weak) when I heard a voice asking if I was ok I wiped the sauce off my face and looked at the owner of the voice "Yeah I'm fine John just frustrated" I muttered John was a black 16 year old male with spiky dirty blond hair and wore a leather jacket, blue jeans and cowboy boots which was odd for a black guy to look if you ask me
"Hey Dan just ignore him he's an ass and your day will go by just fine" John said with a smile on his face I was going to say
something when I heard a calm voice say "Hey Sam don't be an asshole!" Dan turned around to see two figures standing in
front of Sam it took me a moment to recognize one of them his name was Brendan Dino a transfer student from Canada
and for reasons he wont talk about he always has an emotionless expression that never changes
Brendan was a 15 year old average sized male with red hair under his old British hat like the ones conductors used to wear, red eyes from a rare birth defect, red hoodie unzipped to reveal a black shirt, black jeans and Crimson sneakers."Yeah what you going to do if I don't listen which I wont" shouted Sam "Well i guess we will have to tell you again after school don't we now?" piped the person who was with Brendan "Gresh don't" warned Brendan.
Gresh looked like a 13 year old junior high school student with black greased backed hair, a green long sleeved shirt and black sweat pants with green stripes. "Fine you little punk meet me after school in the alley!" threatened Sam "My brother wont do that and dont threaten my brother again!" said Brendan in a calm serious voice. "with that face of yours come on I can't even take you seriously at all, Your just weak like your pipsqueak brother neither of you could ever take me on." Sam boasted he tried to punch him in the face but Brendan just simply blocked him without losing his cool and he kneed Sam in the gut Sam fell on one knee Brendan gave him a cold stare and in a threating tone he said "I'm dead serious if you ever try to do that to Gresh or any other student in this building i swere to god i will drag you by your throat and take you to and beat the living god damn shit out of you" Sam grunted tried to hide his shame (and doing a terrible job) "point taken" he muttered and left when the bell rang for period 3 which was history
John and I walked to class and sat in our seats we listened to our teacher saying we are going on a field trip to the museum which I forgot about "Your younger siblings can come too if they brought the permission form." the teacher kept on talking when I felt a a cold feeling in my spine when the teacher said we were taking a transit bus... I really hate buses i witnessed one kill my cousin and almost hit me too when i was 8 and since then i had a paranoia of buses and most transportation. We all got on the bus and me and john went to the 2nd back row and sat in front of Brendan and Gresh when the bus started moving i got chills and felt a little scared "You know buses are not going to be the cause of your death right?" said John calming me down a little John knew everything about me we have been friends since we were kids heck we are neighbors. I remembered Brendan was also my neighbor and I turned around and thanked him for dealing with Sam. Brendan with a blank face said no problem if you ever need my help with anything jus-" BAM a blur was there for a moment and then when it cleared Brendan and Gresh were gone and there was a hole at the back of the bus.
They were dead...forever "N-N-No tha-that did not just happen right?" stuttered John in fear. Other students started panicking as well and when we stood up to move up to the front of the bus the panicked students that were sitting beside
John and myself knocked me over I fell off the moving bus onto the middle of a highway where pain erupted from my body.
I heard was John shouting left cheek i turned to my left the last thing I saw was a tire going straight into my face.
When I woke at first I thought I was in a hospital but when i saw the unconscious bodies of Brendan and Gresh I panicked
inside thinking I was dead but then I noticed we were in the middle of some village. I looked around in fear I was greeted by
the sight of a lot of multicolored ponies looking at us in utter terror I looked forward straight at a purple pony
(wait scratch that a purple UNICORN? since when did those exist?!) We stared at each other for what felt liked hours before the unicorn asked "excuse me but um what are you?" I sat there speechless for a few moments before screaming
WHAT THE HELLS GOING ON?!!!
The Prologue Mirage's story
the story is being edited but this is what i have so far.
"Hey bro...bro? GOD DAMMIT BRENDAN WAKE UP BEFORE I TAKE MY BAT AND SLAP YOU WITH IT!"
I snapped my eyes open to see my brother Gresh all dressed and ready. "Yeah what is it?" I asked completely oblivious to the day of the week like I always was Gresh in a wtf face shouted "Its Monday we're going to be late come on!"So I slapped on some clothes quickly, made a few waffles and watched the news "Just in we have received news that a fraction of Russia was nuked by Korea" I shut off the T.V and thought about the war and how it started.
In 2015 all of the oil in Canada and America have been completely drained which meant no more oil except in Japan so the country leaders had a meeting started arguing about the who should have the oil and during the meeting President Barrack Obama was killed and no one knew who did it, because they had no idea what to do the U.S blamed Germany they try to avoid being blamed by blaming Russia and so on until everyone declared war fortunately everyone agreed that Canada was a safe zone so there is no fighting going on there also because of the importance of the very little oil they had Japan was not to be attacked at all costs or else a satellite in space would send nukes to blow up that country. We moved from Canada to Florida because I was kicked out by our step dad after our mom died from illness he physically abused me since i was 4 since he thought i was a disgrace I took Gresh with me because I was scared of what he might do to him. It is because of this abuse I can't smile, can't laugh,
and I can never be happy.
"Damn why does this go on? Why can't just combine forces and try to build a better society instead of everyone fighting over a liquid." spoke Gresh in a concerned voice I was starting to get sick of Gresh trying to see hope in any of this
"Gresh you should know like I do" I told him "Know what?" my brother asked "That peace will not happen fights have been going on for years and people just keep on fighting its human nature in the end we all die alone and greedy" I said Gresh shot me a glare and we left for school.
It was lunch and I met up with Gresh our field trip to the museum was next period we went to cafeteria and we talked about well stuff I noticed from the corner of my eye Sam the school bully shoving a student's food into his face and tripping him. We walked up to Sam in a calm voice I Said "Hey Sam don't be an asshole!"
"Yeah what you going to do if I don't listen which I wont" shouted Sam "Well i guess we will have to tell you again after school don't we now?" my brother said boldly "Gresh don't" I warned him fearing for his safety
"Fine you little punk meet me after school in the alley!" threatened Sam "My brother wont do that and dont threaten him again!" I said changing my tone to serious. "With that face of yours come on I can't even take you seriously at all, Your just weak like your pipsqueak brother neither of you could ever take me on." Sam boasted he tried to punch me in the face but I just simply blocked it then I kneed Sam in the gut and he fell on one knee, I gave him a cold stare and in a threatening tone I threatened "I'm dead serious if you ever try to do that to Gresh or any other student in this building I swear to god I will drag you by your eyelids into an alley and beat the living god damn shit out of you" Sam grunted doing a terrible job at hiding his shame "point taken" he muttered and left when the bell rang for period 3 it was time for the field trip.
I went to my brothers teacher and gave her the permission forum for him to come with me, we got on the bus went to the back row because Gresh loves the back row. No one sat besides us probably because people tend to stay away from me while on out way there one the students in front of me turned around and thanked me for taking care of Sam
I was confused at first but then I remembered he was the student Sam tripped looking at his face i recognized him as Dan one of my classmates and also my neighbor. Feeling proud inside I replied no problem if you ever need my help with anything jus-" BAM everything went dark.
WHAT THE HELLS GOING ON?!!! I snapped awake and alert I saw my brothers unconscious form i turned toward the origin of the voice it was Dan he looked terrified at first I wondered what would make him scared like this he never yells. That was when I saw my answer...ponies but not just that they were all colorful and some were flying and some were unicorns (wait what?) and they had somewhat human expressions most of them being pure terror "I don't remember taking any drugs" I thought I heard them talking (what the hell?) saying things like we were demons, we were related to the Diax and that equestria is in danger "What is this equestria and the Diax? it all sounded like something from a children's book" I whispered to myself in wonder and for the first time in years something very peculiar happened
I was excited.
