Chapter 1: Crash Landing
Previous ChapterNext Chapter2 hours earlier.
Dante was sent sailing through the air like a missile. He didn't know what was happening or how it happened, all he knew as that he was burning through the skies at fast speed. He felt like he was blasted halfway through the galaxy, but he knew it had something to do with the Shock Space Drive.
"FFFFUUUUUUUUUUU GAH-" He was cut off when he ripped right through four trees and fell flat on his back. He was coughing and wheezing trying to get some air back into his lungs. After a few minutes he finally was able to breathe. He took a look at his injuries. Bah, a broken rib, nothin a small med pack can handle. He absorbed one in his RIG and the bar went from yellow to blue in a few minutes.
He heard rustling in the bushes. "What the?" He looked at the bushes and pulled out his Plasma Cutter and aimed it at the bushes. As soon as he did the bushes stopped moving. Well whatever it was, I guess I scared it off. His thoughts were interrupted when Manticore jumped out from behind the bushes and on top of him and roared in his face. Dante punched it in the face and then kicked him off scooting backwards. He roared at him again and Dante shot his tail off. The creature roared in pain and turned around to see the crimson pool forming around the limb. It snarled at him and jumped at him again, but Dante was way ahead of him and fired three shots. The lines on plasma easily ripped through the Manticore's left wing severing it.
The creature roared in pain and fell to the ground. Dante walked up to it and aimed his gun at the creature's neck and fired three clean shots severing it's head. "Is that a fuckin Manticore? They're supposed to be myths. Where the fuck am I?" He looked to his right to see a ruined castle. I guess I could make a little setup in there.
He started walking towards the castle until a tentacle popped up from the ground and grabbed his leg and swung him around. "What next in the constant parade of bad things happening?!?" He shouted while being flung around. The tentacle slammed him on the ground a bunch of times and threw him.
"AAAAGHH!!" He screamed while flying in the air. Those slams knocked a lot out of him and he slammed into the ground and passed out from the pain.
The Mane 6 stood there around him with much confusion. "What should we do?" Fluttershy asked. "I don't know. We should take somewhere else LESS noticeable." Twilight replied. "We should take him to the barn, nobody really goes in there." Applejack said. "Okay, the barn it is." Twilight said lifting Dante with her magic.
Instead of carrying him through town Twilight just telported eveypony(body) to the barn. She lied him down on a hay stack and everypony sat down and waited for him to wake up. After a few hours of everyone taking shifts to see if he would wake up, he finally came to.
He put his hand on his head and rubbed it. "Agh! God that hurt." He murmured to himself. He looked around and confusion took a heavy blow on him, as he sat there staring at everypony staring back at him. What the shit? He couldn't exactly wrap his head around what he was looking at. He just stared at them and they stared back.
"Um... hi?" He said. Twilight seemed surprised. "Wow! You speak our language?" She asked suddenly interested. "Wow you speak my language..." He said, then his widened. "Wait. YOU SPEAK MY LANGUAGE!?" He asked getting up and backing up into the barn wall.
His heart was thumping against his chest. He was so freaked the fuck out, that he didn't know what else to say. He stood there pressed against the wall with fear and shock staring at the ponies staring back at him with confusion. "That's strange, why are you so afraid?" She asked. Dante shivered every time they talked, this was going to take a lot of getting used to for him.
"Well, where to start, um. A) I don't have ponies on my world, and B) If we did, they wouldn't be able to talk, because animals don't talk on hour world." Applejack just sighed. "Well we're ponies not animals, I mean look at my dog, she's an animal and she doesn't talk, so what does that make us?" She had a VERY good point, and Dante started to calm down.
"Okay, that makes a lot more sense thank you." She nodded her head and smiled, Dante couldn't help but look at her smile. "Alright, so, what now." He asked. "We don't know, I guess you're stuck here for now." Twilight said. Pinkie jumped out of no-where nearly giving him a heart attack. "OH YAY. We'regonnahavesomuchfunwhileyou'rehereIjustcan'twaitfor-" Dante couldn't understand a word she was saying. "Whoa whoa slow down there Speed Racer I can't even describe what you're saying." Dante said putting his hands up.
"Sorry she's... like that. Howdy, I'm Applejack." She said putting out her hoof. "Dante, Dante Clarke." He said shaking her hoof without anymore fear. "Hi, I'm Twilight Sparkle, pleasure to meet you Dante Clarke." She said smiling. "Heh please, just Dante is alright." He said. "Sup, I'm Rainbow Dash. I'm the fastest flier in Ponyville." She said hovering. "You looked athletic, and thanks, I know where I am now, at least." He said.
"I'm Rarity darling, And may I ask how you get your... suit... to glow like that without any magic?" She asked. "It's called lights." He said chuckling. "And it's nice to meet you Rarity you're looking fabulous tonight." He said shaking her hoof. She laughed, blushed and then looked away. "And I'm Pinkie!" She said while bouncing. He looked over to his left to see a pink haired mare sitting there hiding behind her mane.
"And you are?" He asked. She pawed at the ground. "I'm um. I'm Fl-Fluttershy." She said lightly. "Fluttershy eh? Nice name." He said. Smiled and looked at him. Her sheer cuteness almost gave him a heart attack. "Alright so... where am I sleeping tonight?" He asked. "In the barn for now." Applejack quickly replied. "Fair enough." He said blankly. "I forgot to ask, what are you?" Twilight asked. "I'm a human." He replied. "Well you look like a robot." Applejack stated.
What? Oh right, the suit. He put his helmet back in his suit and revealed his face. "Oh my god! What happened?" Twilight asked worried. "Well for starters. I got blasted halfway across the galaxy, then I crash land ripping through about four or five trees, then I get knocked around by a tentacle thingy that shot up from the ground and then threw me another two hundred feet." He said with a thinking face. "And I guess that's when you found me lying there."
He groans in pain. "Grah, I need another med pack." He said, he absorbed another one and they noticed that his RIG went from yellow to blue in a matter of seconds. "Whats that?" Asked Twilight. "Huh? Oh that's my RIG. That bar in the middle is my condition. When its Blue I'm fine, when its yellow I'm wounded, but if its red, I'm dying." They seemed to understand this and continued to listen to you. "And that curved bar right there is my stasis." Twilight examined it then asked, "Stasis?" He looks at her with a dumb look on his face. "I can slow things down with stasis."
Twilight instantly became interested. "Like magic?" She asked. "Uhhhh, not quite. But almost like magic." He replies chuckling. "Alright, time to hit the hay I guess, literally." He said chuckling. They just glared him. His chuckling stopped and he lied down in the pile of hay. "Night girls." He said "Night!" They called back. Dante just lied there and slowly fell asleep.
