//-------------------------------------------------------// A Blaze of Harmony -by helljack666- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Arrival //-------------------------------------------------------// Arrival Chaper 1: Arrival (Josh's POV) ugh my head. Where the hell am I, the last thing I remember is beating that damn Goat, then the voice, couldn't place it really, said something like "You didn't think it would be this easy", next thing I know I've collapsed then it's all a blank You're telling me mate Who are you? I'm the one who has to get you up in the morning, or in this case now. Where'd you get that defibrillator from? Honestly you're unconscious, probably in another dimension and talking to me, yet you still question the logic of this situation. Fair point. Well then. Wake up Mr Burner, Wake up and smell the ashes. I woke up with a jolt, as if someone had just dashed iced water on me. Vision blurred I tried to stand up, but fell over having to use my hands to steady myself, while I was doing this I noticed something odd about my hands, where there was once a pink fleshy thing with five digits, now there was a brick-red stump in it's place, blinking to clear my vision, I noticed it was not a stump but a hoof, thinking 'this cannot be happening' I scouted around until I found a nearby pool, as I looked at my reflection and out towards the quaint, pastel town I said the first thing that came to mind. "Well I can honestly say I did not see this coming." (Alex POV) ".... .p!" huh "..ll .p" what ".ull up!" "up" what "PULL UP!" Snapping my eyes open I saw that the ground was rushing up to meet me, so I did the most logical thing possible, I panicked. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!THISISITIMGONNADIESHITSHITSHITSSSSSHHHIIITTT!!!" "Hey!" I turned to the sound of the voice, staring straight at a blue rainbow-maned flying horse. 'This just isn't my day is it' I thought. "If you will excuse me I am trying to avoid dying at the moment!" I yelled at her. "Well you would do a better job if you opened Your damn wings!" She yelled back "I don't have wings" I replied. "Yes you do, your a pegasus, duh!" she retorted. "wait what!"I exclaimed. "Look just do what I do and you'll be fine" She said, opening her wings and coming to a complete halt, I tried to do the same, whooping when I managed it, only for my wings to give out and send me tumbling onto a cloud below. 'that's weird' I thought 'I should be ground pizza now but why aren't I', I noticed the horse from earlier was back fluttering down to stand on the cloud next to me. "What the hell! you call that flying!" she yelled at me. "Under such short notice, yes!" I replied. "Well...uh...sorry about the whole yelling thing".she apologised. "Meh, I've had worse" I stated "Sooo... whats your name?" she asked. "My name is..." I said,casting my gaze back to my flank, which depicted a lightning bolt striking an icicle "...Aerial Blade, yes, my name is Aerial Blade" I answered. "Cool name" she said sounding moderately impressed "I'm Rainbow Dash fastest flier in Equestria". "Hold on did you say Equestria" I asked. "Yeah, why?" 'Rainbow Dash' responded. "Where's the nearest town?" I asked hopefully. "That would be Ponyville" she replied. "ookay then, listen, I'm kinda new here, so, why don't you give me a guided tour?" I asked dreading her reply. "Sure thing" she said and as we flew off towards the town, (I say flew off, actually Rainbow flew off, towing the cloud I was on behind her) I was thinking 'this was a totally unexpected occurence'. (Chewie's POV) That was a terrible experience in fact it's so terrible that I feel like I could use an apple. I woke up in an apple orchard, each tree covered in the glistening fruit. This is suspicious, apples aren't useally that shade of red, meh they all seem safe to eat, what could possibly go wrong? Using the force I focused on the nearest apple, willing it to be drawn it towards me, just as I was about to bite into it, I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head and heard a voice with a heavy southern drawl, it said "that's what yah git for stealin' mah crop, yah varmint", as my vision became a pained blur, I spouted the first coherant sentence I could think of "Ah shit, me and my big mouth." As I came to I realised I was, quite obviously, in total darkness "Hello" I called out "Is anyone out there". Then I heard the voice again "you have some nerve, comin' here and stealin' apple family proper'ty" it said. "Okay two things, one: I was hungry and I needed some food and two: how was I supposed to know this orchard belonged to your family in the first place, also could you turn the lights on, it's just I'm kinda getting tired of talking to a shadow." The lights flared on, after blinking to clear my vision, I realised I was staring at a very angry orange pony. "Okay this is a new one" I said. "What is" she ask curtly. "Waking up after being clubbed round the back of the head and tied up only to find out that my captor is an orange pony, I can say with 100% honesty that this has never happened before, not to me anyways". "Ahm sorry, ah really am, ah jus' saw an apple pick itself and thought it was rustlers." she rplied. "Well, it could've been worse" I said. "How?" she asked. "You could have done worse than knock me out, hell, you could've killed me." I said as I ran through all the worst case senario's in my head. "Like ah said ahm sorry, ahm applejack bah the way, whaht's your name pardner ?" she said looking a bit sheepish. "Force lightning" I said wondering where the name had come from. "Force lightning, thats a funny name for a pony like yerself, welp hows about ah give you a tour of the farm" she said untying me. "That would be nice" I replied whilst thinking. this day couldn't possibly get any more weird [c]to be continued[/c]
