Chapter One: A New beginningView OnlineThe Human Colonization of EquestriaChapter One: A New beginning“This is a new dawn for man-kind!” … The looming shadow of the Mayflower cast itself onto the unknowing planet, foreshadowing its future destination. Each loud screech of the engines unheard from the outside, but causing a large ruckus on the inside. The glistening sun rising out from behind the ship, creating a bright glowing border around the spacecraft. The silence of space was mesmerizing, creating an endless vortex of unseen and unnoticed beauty. Only the purest of beings could even begin to think of the silence as it is. Not for its eeriness, but for its beauty. The same could not be said for the bridge of the Mayflower, though. People were working frantically, preparing to colonize the planet before them. A grey uniformed man was standing at the front of the bridge, staring into the vast emptiness that filled space. The door slid open as a woman walked in, wearing a similar uniform. “Uh, Admiral?” She spoke slowly. “Yes?” The man kept his gaze into the stars. “We have received our reports from our D1-class test subjects.” “What new knowledge have we obtained?” He inquired. “Well, the reports state that after approximately two hours after exposure to the planet’s atmosphere, they were um- they were uh, transformed sir.” She said, stuttering. “Transformed?” He asked again, still keeping his gaze into the stars. “Yes sir.” “Into what?” “Uh, Equines of some sort sir.” “Do you know what happened next?” He questioned. “No sir, we lost contact.” “Very well.” “But sir, we are suspect to believe what kind of Equines they became.” The woman added. “What kind?” “We think they were transformed into, uh, ponies sir.” … “A new era for mankind-” … “Cryo tube subject 5-5-21, stable.” The mechanical voice of the medical unit whirred, filling the silence that conveyed across the whole room. The black floating medical unit moved onto the next cryo tube, taking the noise with it. It then moved over to the bridge of the bridge In the bridge, the medical unit hovered into the doorway, and emitted a holographic document. The Admiral, still standing at the bridge, came down, and looked at the document. “All the subjects and cryo tubes are stable?” He questioned to the medical unit. “Affirmitave.” It replied, its voice wirring and changing octaves. “Prepare them for launch.” “Yes sir.” … “A new opportunity for man!” … The Admiral kept his gaze into the forever darkness of space as the door behind him slid open yet again. “Uh, sir, we are receiving some minor disterbences with our equipment, some type of pulse is being converted to us. It seems to be radiating from something on the planet.” “Do you know what is creating it?” The Admiral asked the man who walked in. “No sir, it’s nothing we’ve seen before, some type of energy field or something.” “Very well, are th-” WOOSH! The Admiral was cut off by a loud noise emitting from the engines. The ship lurched forward heavily, throwing people to the ground. “What the hell!?” “Sir! The ships primary functions are down! We’re breaching the atmosphere!” The worried pilot screamed as the lights flickered on and off. The Mayflower began its descent down to the planet below as the lights finally died out for good. The ship began to catch fire as it sped up and got lower and lower, below it, lay a forest, with some type of village nearby. The ship reached its maximum speed and hit the forest. It skid for about a mile until it finally came to a halt, in the center of the forest. …
Chapter Two: Rude AwakeningView OnlineThe Human Colonization of EquestriaChapter Two: Rude Awakening… “As we move on!” … Darkness, darkness surrounded me, in a world of nothing, a valley of shadows. The bleak world of darkness was keeping me in its grasp, firmly planting me in a state of confusion and fear. I could barely make out any thoughts as I struggled to open my eyes. I was cold, really cold, freezing perhaps. But, I still just can’t open my eyes. It’s a simple command, just opening my eyes. My eyes still refused to open, and my body refused to move. What the hell? Open! Just fucking open! I ordered my eyes through my mind. Just… Open… … “To another lifestyle!” … After a while of more darkness, my arms began to feel a bit loosened up, then the rest of my body. And finally, my eyes. I quickly opened them to reveal that I was in a glass tube. The fuck? Frost had accumilated on the front glass section of the tube. I shivered as I noticed I was still freezing. I could see a large crack in the glass, with dark red blood splattered on the glass section before me. Fuck, I need to get out of here, see what happened. I began to raise my hand, but it fell back down. Dammit, go up! I forced my hand to move to my chest. Baby steps, baby steps. I then touched it to the glass, clearing some of the frost that appeared. C’mon, I can do this, just get out of this thing, and find out what the fuck is going on. I pulled my hand back, and threw it towards the glass. C’mon, I can do this. I threw my hand at the glass again, the crack got bigger. I swung three more times, the crack was almost big enough. I swung one last time. Crash! The glass shattered before me, sending trickles of blood and shards down my arm. I really couldn’t care less, I just want to get out of here. I pulled myself out of the tube as I sat on the ground outside of it, taking a little look around. I was in a light grey room, tilted slightly, behind me and in front were rows of similar tubes. I looked behind me to the one that I was recently inside, Cryo tube 5-5-21 a metallic label below it read. Cryo tube, so that’s why I was frozen apparently, but why? As I thought that, two questions seared into my mind, causing a totally new wave of confusion. Where the hell am I? Or more importantly, who am I? … “In a greater place.” ... I walked through the bleak but large corridor as I came across a door. Bridge The tilted metallic sign above it read. I stepped inside to see a large room, with a catwalk in the middle, and a lower layer directly under it. Up ahead was a large glass window, which was shattered and destroyed, its metal frames hanging out in thin, flimsy wires. The catwalk’s railings were in similar condition, falling off or bending down as I passed by. I neared the bridge window and looked out, a massive nose of the ship was just below it. I climbed out of the window and walked across the massive hull of the ship. This thing is fucking huge! After sliding the hull for a while I finally was able to hop off of the ship. After doing so, I looked around where the ship crashed. I was in a large forest clearing, all surrounded by a deep, dark, mysterious, menacing, and some other fucking creepy words to explain it, forest. … “We will not consume!” … I was walking around the clearing when I saw a body. It was of a tall, grey uniformed man, he was covered in blood, two symmetrical holes covered the his neck. There was also scratch marks covering his chest and back. Something tells me this guy didn’t die of natural causes. Next to him, clutched in his hand, was some type of pistol, upon further investigation I discovered it was a .44 caliber revolver. On his side, rested some kind of sheath, it was dark brown and its straps were still tied around his waist. I got the sheath off of him and looked at what was inside. It was a long, sleek, silver blade with a sharp pointed edge, and red and hints of yellow were on burlap straps giving a grip on the handle. Primitave weapons for a futuristic society, I mean, where the hell are the lazer guns and shit? It’s a giant spaceship, with nothing but a revolver and a sword? Hm, I wonder if there is a reason behind all of this anyway. … I trudged deeper into the strange, yet somehow erie forest, my newly aquired sword and revolver strapped tightly to my also newly obtained belt. The snapping of the twigs and leaves under my feet was darkening the mood even deeper as I continued on my made up route, the sun was beginning to lower so I wanted to find someone quickly. Where the hell are we going? The little me in my head just decided to ask. I don’t even know anyway. I took about three more steps until I came across a- Crunch! I heard something behind me, I turned around- -There was nothing there. I turned back- Shit! A pair of green eyes stared at me through the dark brush, I couldn’t see them very well, but they were glowing just bright enough. Someone- Something is in there. I pulled my revolver from my belt as I heard more branches rustling. Crunch! Crunch! Crunch! I aimed my revolver directly in front of me at the pair of eyes. “Wh-who’s there?” I attempted to ask the creature. As I finished my sentence about a dozen more pairs of eyes appeared, I backed up into a tree. The eyes began to move closer to me as I still trained my revolver on the first one. Finally, the dim moonlight illuminated at least half of them, so I could see what they really were. What the fuck? I looked over to the closest creature, it stood on four legs, with a massive amount of holes going through its body. It had a curved horn looking thing on its forehead, with a set of torn up wings. Its color was pitch black, and it had two long, sharp K-9 fangs. The rest of the things stepped into the patch of light, there must have been at least ten. I looked over to the closest one, it was glaring at me, ready to pounce, I raised my revolver to its head. Crunch! Just then, one to my right jumped to me as I turned to it. Wahm! As it was in midair I swung my revolver and struck it in the side of the neck as it flew violently towards the ground. I turned back to my prior target to see it was already sprinting for me. I grabbed my pistol by the barrel and swung down on the creature. Bam! I fired one shot into its neck, as greenish liquid oozed frome the wound. I then found the nearest set of eyes and fired a shot into them. Two more creatures pounced for me, I dodged right as I pulled out my blade. The second creature got a hold on my hand holding the pistol, I swung my blade right into its stomach as it too collapsed to the ground. I fired shots into the two downed creatures as I ran straight for the first pair of eyes. I think this one is the alpha because the second I ran for it, the other creatures chased me. Bam! Bam! I fired two shots into the alpha as I jumped over its falling body. I swung my sword into the necks of the three creatures chasing me as I turned. There were about five left, I pointed my revolver to them. They ran away from me. …
Chapter Three: What Am I?View OnlineThe Human Colonization of EquestriaChapter Three: What Am I?… “Instead, we shall give!” … I re-holstered my revolver as I walked. The crunching of leaves under my feet was creating a steady rhythm as I continued on the unknown trek. I still continued to walk, until I could see a large mountain, about ten miles or so away. On the side of the mountain, I could see some type of- castle? It had a lot of bright lights gleaming through the night, and it was hanging sideways off the mountain. I could see train tracks swirling around the mountain, and heading back behind me somewhere. I decided to head where the tracks began, maybe I could find a close village or something. Well, I hope, I can’t even see the tracks, I only see that it comes off the mountain in this direction. I just really hope… … “We shall give to this planet!” … Step… Step… Step… The repetetive journy continued on as I treked into unkown territory, well it always was unkown territory. I kept walking until I saw some type of light source, far in the distance, about a mile or so away. I began to go towards it- Crunch! I turned to where the sound came from as I unholstered my revolver. I looked at the creature which made the sound. It was similar to those other creatures, exept it had no holes in its body. Also, it was a lavender purple, with hair and a tail. It also had a horn, unbent and perfectly fine. This one didn’t have wings though. I still kept my revolver trained on its head. It stared right at me, somehow levitating a book with a weird purple glowing aura surrounding both the book and its horn. I looked down the sights of my revolver, not wanting this creature to attack me first. The creature’s face displayed a screen of emotions, conveying from fear to confusion. Don’t do it, the little me in my head told me. I tightened my grip on the gun. Trust me, I put my finger on the trigger. It’s he- I cut off the little me in my head, by ending any thoughts crossing or traveling into or out of my mind. Its either me or it… Me or it… I focused my sights on the purple creature’s head… And I sqeezed the trigger… … “To anything that inhabits it!” … Click! I looked at my weapon as it refused to fire. Click! Click! Click! What the fuck? I looked into the ammo slot. There were no bullets remaining. I pulled out my sword as I backed up in the opposite direction. If there’s one of them, there must be more nearby. What do I do? I turned around, and just ran away from it. ... “As we will always do!” … I sat down to rest when I looked up into the canopy of the forest. There were little bits of moonlight peering through the thick leaves and branches, reflecting off of the ground. There was enough light coming down for me to finally notice what I was wearing. I had an orange jumpsuit on, with Cryo subject printed on my back. I also had some generic shoes on, fit for running, I also had brown hair. After resting I attempted to get up. What the fuck? My body refused to move as my eyelids grew heavy. What’s happening? Darkness swirled around me as I fell into a patch of leaves to my left… … “To ensure your protection!” … Darkness… Darkness surrounded me, it was everything right now. There was silence, but I could feel myself lying down in what feels like a patch of leaves. My body, it felt different, I couldn’t feel my fingers or toes, and I could feel something on my forehead. I snapped open my eyes. What the fuck? “What the fuck?” My words echoed my thoughts as I looked at what my hand used to be. It was blue, and I had no fingers, I also felt some kind of fur coat or something around me. I stood on four legs, and I had some type of horn on my head, along with that I had a tail, and a mark on the side of my butt. It was of a pencil for some reason that I don’t know. My fur coat was a light blue, almost teal, my hair and tail were brown, similar color to my previous hair. I still had my belt on with my sword and revolver After recovering from the initial shock that I was a different species now I began to look around. Woosh! A huge gust of wind blew by me as a bunch of pink rose petals went to my right. Follow them My little me told me in my mind. The petals kept going in the direction. Follow them! As the petals turned they still stayed together, leading me somewhere. So, I decided to follow them, despite recently transforming species. …
Chapter Four: Mind RealmView OnlineThe Human Colonization of EquestriaChapter Four: Mind Realm… The images flashed into my head without mercy, pity, or remorse. Each chain of images sending violent shivers down my spine as the images grew more and more grotesque, a red border surrounding them and giving a more erie effect. I fell down to the ground as I saw images, images of- me, being tortured, forced onto the ship, forced to leave the wasteland of the world and everyone I knew. One of the last visions, depicted me, strapped down as a white uniformed man stabbed a syringe into my side, then appeared another, of me being dragged to a cryo tube. More and more frequently the images and visions poured into my mind, sending another violent wave of pain as I finally closed my eyes. The last thing I saw was a pink rose petal, gently gliding, and landing softly to my left. … “But such a job won’t be easy.” … I was in the darkness yet again, but something was different right now. I don’t know why, but it just felt, different. All the images and visions halted as a sigh of relief escaped me, I was still wondering where I was. I opened my eyes to reveal a large space, an endless vortex of pure white and small pixels of grey sploched around. I began to get up as my legs wobbled beneath me, I stood straight up as I began to wonder yet again, where I was. I froze completely when I heard a female voice emit from behind me. “Oh! Jeddie, you’re a bit early!” … “We need help!” … I spun around to reveal two creatures standing next to each other. They each stood on four legs, one of them was pink, with darker pink hair and tail, she had a mark depicting two blue balloons, and a yellow balloon. The other one was a cyan blue, with rainbow hair and a rainbow colored tail. It had two wings, covering the mark I guessed every one of these things had. I stared at both of them as I began to go over my options here. They could speak my language; they literally just spoke to me. “Wh- who- or what are you?” I began to ask. “Oh! I almost got carried away there; I just remembered that this is your first time here!” The pink one piped up as she began to jump up and down off of the ground. First? “I-I mean, we all are ponies, I’m Pinkie Pie, and this is Rainbow Dash!” She added as she pointed to her rainbow haired friend. Ponies? “Okay? Um, where are we?” I asked the pink ‘pony’. “Oh yeah! Almost forgot!” She paused and then started again “Welcome, welcome to the Mind Realm!” … “From you!” … “So, what is this, uh, Mind Realm?” I asked Pinkie Pie as we trotted along the empty white landscape. “It’s a place in our minds that we all have, and apparently, we all share one! We can imagine anything here and have anything!” “How did I get here anyway?” I asked next. “Well, you can choose when to come, or automatically come here; you atomatically came because you just received a mind realm! You can also be sent here if there is a really bad problem, but when that happens, the only way to get out is to find the solution to the problem!” She answered. “So, what do we do here?” I still continued. “Well, in this part of the mind realm, we can imagine anything! But, when we’re sent here because of a problem, we can’t.” We kept walking forward as a staircase matirialized beneath us. “Wha-” “Remember, we can imagine anything!” She happily said as she cut me off. “So, uh, what exactly are we? I mean, I see you’re a- normal pony, but what about me?” I asked as the stairs led us higher and higher. “Oh, well you’re a unicorn, and Rainbow Dash’s a Pegasus, oh yeah! Incase you’re wondering, the mark on the side of your flank is a cutie mark! It shows your special talent.” So that’s what the pencil means. One of the pink rose blossoms flew directly infront of me. “What are these doing anyway?” I asked. “Oh, our rose petals, those guide you, they have an elemental power behind them, if you see them, they’ll light the way.” Woosh! The world began to swirl and mismatch around me as everything became dark. “Remember Jeddie! The rose petals, they’ll light the way!” … “Yes you!” … It was daybreak as I began to wake up, the rose petals swirling around me as I stood up. The rose petals flew around, and then continued in the same direction. And, being the supersticious and curious me, I decided to follow them… …
