Resistance: Two Minds, One Man

"SURPRISE!!"

"YAHHHH!" Capelli screamed as he jumped so high he hit his head on the low ceiling. "FUCK!"

"HI JOEY! I THREW THIS PARTY JUST FOR YOU! WERE YOU EXCITED HUH? WERE YA? WERE YA? THATS WHY I WENT ALL 'HUUUUUUUUUH' AND THEN DISAPPEARED SO I COULD HAVE MOST BIGGEST PARTY EV-" Capelli had enough and he stuck his hand in her mouth. He was about to lash out when he remembered what the Princess had said.

"Yeah Pink, I was surprised." Capelli said. The only name he knew was the lavender unicorn Twilight Sparkle, the rest he just called the color of their coats. Smiling, Pinkie hopped away and pulled a bullhorn out of her mane.

"ATTENTION EVERYPONY!" Pinkie shouted. "THE GUEST OF HONOR HAAAAAAAAAAAAAS ARRIVED! JOEY!!!!"

"What kind of name is that?"

"Thats a dumb name."

"Is he from around here?" Capelli was about ready to haul off and kill somepony so instead he walked out. They thought the name Joe was weird? All these ponies had crazy fucking names. He looked up into the sky and looked at its serene evening. Is this what the sky looked like before Chimeran battleships and fire occupied the sky? He pondered what direction his life would of gone had the Chimera never attacked Earth. Would he be some rich CEO? Would he be married? Would he have children? Capelli sighed as he realized all three of those would be impossible in the fucked up world. Inside, the mane six looked at him as he left.

"What eatin him? Applejack asked as she ate a cupcake.

"Who cares? Just leave him." Rainbow said.

"I think we should go and talk to him." Fluttershy said.

"We'll all go." Twilight said as she and her friends walked out to where Capelli was. The way he looked up at the sky seemed peaceful. Normally he gave off an atmosphere of anger and violence but now.....

"Joe?" Twilight asked.

"What you want purple?" Capelli asked.

"WE want to help you." Twilight countered.

"There is nothing any of you can do to help me." Capelli said.

"And why is that?" Rarity asked.

"That is none of your business white." Capelli responded as he got up and began to walk away.

"Joe, listen, we knew about the thing you fought against. What were they called? Chimera." Twilight said. Upon hearing this, Capelli's anger shot up. The only way they could have found that out was if Celestia told them.

"That conniving motherfucker." Capelli began to say.

"Who are you talking about?" Applejack asked.

"Your Princess." Capelli said. At this the mane six, particularly Twilight, gasped.

"How dare YOU!?!" Twilight said stomping her hoof into the ground. "Princess Celestia has been nothing but nice to you ever since you got here!"

"Look just cause you are her personal ass kisser doesn't mean she is all nice!" Capelli countered.

"Hey that wasn't nice mister!" Pinkie said frowning.

"Whatever." Capelli said as he began to leave.

"And just where do you think you're going?" Rainbow shouted.

"My ship." Capelli said. Rainbow went to fly after him but Twilight held out her hoof.

"Leave him. It's gonna be a long day for us tommorow." Twilight said.

"What do you mean?" Fluttershy asked.

"Tommorow is when we start reforming him." Twilight said as the ponies watched as Capelli disappeared into the Everfree Forest. As Capelli walked through the forest, he was enraged. Enraged the Celestia broke her promise. He did not want anyone to know there was a parasitic monster from outer space living in his mind. He roared as he punched a tree and broke it.

"Ugh, this is hopeless!" Capelli said. "How the hell can I befriend them? I don't even know their names!!!"

"Don't give up Joseph, these things take time." A voice said inside Capelli's head. He recognized it as Celestia talking to him through his mind again.

Hey asshole, what the fuck?" Capelli responded.

"What do you mean?" Celestia said.

You promised not to tell anyone about my secret and your fuckin purple protege asked me about the Chimera!" Capelli replied.

"You have to understand, I had to tell them something! How else could I have explained to them why you kept referring to them as Chimera?" Besides, I didn't tell them everything, I just told them you fought an enemy called the Chimera before you came here. The details and your condition are still safe." Celestai explained hoping Capelli would understand.

"Ugh fine I understand but I swear if you tell them anymore than that!" Capelli said.

"I know, I know." Celestia said. "You best be getting some sleep, you have a busy day ahead of you tomorrow."

"What do you mean?"

"Tomorrow you shall meet with my student and her friends and try to gain their friendship." Capelli inwardly groaned but he knew what would happen otherwise.

"Fine, what time?" Capelli asked.

"Meet Applejack a her farm in Sweet Apple Acres. You can't miss it." Celestia said. "Until tomorrow Joseph."

"What do you want a goodnight kiss?" Capelli asked as Celestia cut the link. Capelli just groaned as he entered the chimeran shuttle. He wasn't gonna lie, just being inside something made by the Chimera made him feel uneasy. He would half to find somewhere else to sleep eventually. He walked inside and laid down. Princess Celestia had been kind enough to regenerate his old clothes that had been destroyed in their fight. Capelli took off his wool hat and rolled up into a ball and used it as a pillow. He put his head back and he soon fell asleep.

"Such arrogance to think we are a disease to be destroyed when in fact, we are the evolution of man!"A deep and chilling voice said. Capelli looked around but saw he was in total darkness.

"Daedalus." Capelli growled.

"You think this world is your birthright but it was first ours. It was ours ages before you walked upright!" The voice known as Daedalus said again."And now it shall be once more. Soon your skies will shine with our stars, and the Earth shall tremble...only then will you know what it truly means to suffer..."

"Where are you?" Capelli screamed turning around to see a mirror with his reflection.

"Why Joseph, I am right here." Daedalus said as Capelli began to morph into a Chimera.

"AHH!" Capelli shouted as he woke up. He was panting and sweating. Fuckin nightmares, Capelli got up and walked around in an attempt to walk the experience off.

"Daedalus is dead, Hale killed him. He can't be here, I'm just imagining shit." Capelli said as he calmed down. He walked over to the hatch and opened it to reveal sunlight. Capelli was relieved he didn't have to go back to sleep. He stretched as his eyes adjusted to the light. He heard his stomach rumbling in agony, he realize he had not eaten at the party last night so he was very hungry. All of his granola bars and other foods he kept in his backpack were vaporized when Celestia blasted him with magic. He was on his own.

"Maybe that Applejack can cook me up some food." Capelli said to himself. Before he left he grabbed his M1911 pistol and put in his pocket. Never know when your gonna need it. Capelli stepped outside and began trekking towards Ponyville. What normally would have taken a pony ten minutes took a half hour for Capelli due to his paranoia of forests. Back on Earth, forests where full of chimeran chameleons which could turn invisible. The unseen chimera would then sneak up and literally rip the unsuspecting human in two. Everytime Capelli heard a twig snap he turned around and aimed his pistol before he realized he was still in between Narnia and Middle Earth so he had nothing to worry about. He finally saw Ponyville come into view and he let out a sigh of relief. He walked into town and began looking for his 'Applejack'. He assumed the orange pony with the cowboy hat was Applejack but he could not see her. He then remembered something about 'Sweet Apple Acres'. He then realized he had no idea where that was so he went up to nearby pony to ask for directions.

"Hey do you know where Sweet Apple Acres is?" Capelli asked a grey pegasus who had a blond mane.

"Sure thing mister, its uh that way!" She said as she swung her hoof around to point to the direction of Sweet Apple Acres, only to whack Capelli in the face.

"Uh oh! Are you okay?" The grey pony asked.

I swear to God! "I'm fine." Capelli said rubbing the area where she hit him trying not to lose his temper.

"Sorry, I just don't know what went wrong!" She said as she began to fly away. Capelli noticed she didn't fly straight and was bumping into things.

"Must be hungover." Capelli said to himself as headed to where the pony told him to go. He eventually came to clearing which overlooked the farm.

"Woah." Capelli said as he saw acres of apple trees spread out over the horizon. Seeing the delicious looking apples made him drool. He decided it wouldn't hurt if he took just one considering there had to be thousands of apple trees. Capelli looked to see if anypony was looking and he reached up and grabbed a red delicious apple. Capelli bit into it and felt its sweet juices squirt into the corners of his mouth. He happily munched it down and threw the core to the ground. He wasn't full yet so he took another, and another, and another, and another till he had eaten all the apples on tree.

"Oh shit, well she wont notice." Capelli said looking at the empty tree and all the apple cores on the ground. He took the apple he was currently eating and went for another bite.

"Excuse me?" A tiny voice said causing Capelli to choke on the piece of apple. He fell to the ground as the apple piece lodged itself in his windpipe. He started whamming his fist into his chest until he felt the chunk of food come out of his windpipe. He then spat the half-chewed apple covered in saliva on the ground.

"Ewwwww!" The voice said. Capelli turned to see a tiny yellow earth pony with a red mane standing behind him. She had a large red bow in her mane. Even for Capelli. he had to admit she was a cute one.

"Can I help you?" Capelli asked wondering why she hadn't freaked out at his appearance. He then remembered Twilight had cast an illusion spell on him.

"Why are you stealin our apples?" She asked innocently.

"Uh I didn't take any apples!" Capelli said throwing the apple he was eating.

"It's not right to lie ya know." She said.

"Sorry I missed breakfast." Capelli said without meaning it. "Do you know where I can find a Applejack?"

"Applejack? That's mah sister!" She said. "Mah names Applebloom."

"Call me Capelli, can you take me to her?" Capelli asked.

"Sure thing mister!" She said as she happily trotted back towards the farmhouse with Capelli close behind.
