The Story of Mr Allan in Equestria

I had to spend four weeks in recovery of my wounds, it wasn't that bad, I got free soup and care. But a downside was that I couldn't do 'anything' other than sit around and read Lyra's book of humans. That wasn't bad but I got bored after I finished reading. That was five day's into recovery out of twenty eight, the rest was actually more interesting.

Six days into recovery...

Rainbow Dash entered the room and sat next to me "I can't imagine how boring it must be in here." She said.

"Word of advice: Don't get seriously injured." I said turning my head to her with a welcoming grin.

Rainbow seemed to feel sorry for me, she held out her hoof and placed a small box on the side of my bed "I'll be back in a few days, don't open that until I do, we need to talk." without another word she left the room and closed the door.

Those words began to haunt me, I didn't think about it too hard but I knew she clearly gave me the box for a reason. I placed it into the middle draw on the cabinet and continued with my boredom.

One week, three days into recovery...

I had just finished writing both letters to Rarity and ShadowMere. "HEY SPIKE!" Spike entered the room "Could you send take these letters to Rarity and ShadowMere for me?"

He had a questionable look "Sure, why?"

"Well Shadow has the hots for Rarity so I wrote a letter to her 'pretending' to be him asking her on a date. I sent him a letter explaining all the details."

Spike looked angry "Wait, he likes Rarity and your helping him!"

"Between you and me, it's not gonna happen. I don't see any chemistry with those two, no similarities or anything. So when the date happens I'd give it about a few days then they'll just go back to being friends." I said.

Spike sighed and took the letters, he left the room and that was the last role I played in the little 'crush' ShadowMere had on Rarity.

One week, five days into recovery...

Twilight had just finished another test on my amnesia, each day she seemed to grow more curious about it. I laid on my bed, I began to think about what happened at the wall. The extremely over sized Void Pony had almost killed me due to my failure to concentrate on what was going. If I had failed and it got through the wall, Equestria would have been open to the Badlands. What I couldn't get off my mind was why it was trying to eat us. The possible reasons ran through my mind, it could be something the Void Ponies due to survive, or it might've been because of it's size in comparison to a normal Void Pony that it needed a more frequent energy supply.

I still couldn't get the sight of it's open mouth about to devour me out of my head. I guess I ow ShadowMere more than a little favor. I shook it off and tried to sleep.

Recon Squad Three

Location: Seaddle

Objective: Find out why Seaddle has gone radio silent.

The small group of Guards walked through the empty streets of the city. "Nothing left here but dust." spoke one of the guards.

"You owe me twenty bits Volt." Said another guard.

The guard at the front of the group had stopped moving. "Hey captain, whats the problem." asked his second in command. When he noticed the Captain was looking at a down angle, he turned to see what he was looking at.

The captain spoke first "I believe, we found the source of the radio silence." In front of them was a large gaping hole filled with Void shards and purple gas.

The guards stood there speechless at the sight before them. "The Princesses' our going to want to hear of this." said one of the guards.

"Agreed..." He started to walk back up the street they walked down "...we'll need more ponies if we plan on getting rid of them."

They stopped in their tracks when a pony walked out onto the street. "Civilian!" Cried one of the guards.

"Maybe he knows more about what happened here." They started to approach the civilian pony as it slowly turned towards them. They stopped and stared in shock as the pony stood there staring at them with lifeless eyes.

"Must...." He spoke.

The guards slowly continued to approach the civilian

"Must..."

The Captain reached the the civilian "Must what?"

The Civilian pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into the side of the captains head "Must...kill....all...Witnesses."

Two weeks, two days into recovery.

I woke up in my bed, I sat up and noticed a letter placed next to me. Spike probably put it there while I was asleep. I opened it and it read:

The Void ponies have adapted, they just got a Void pony Pegasus into Equestria. It's somewhere in the Everfree forest, you need to deal with it before it can cause any trouble. You've already got more than enough suspicion on you from that Shadow guy. This has to be done quickly.

I threw the letter into the bottom draw with the others. "How do you expect me to do that with these injuries?" I couldn't move, I couldn't get out of the bed. I sat there thing of any possible way that I could deal with this problem without further injuring myself.

ShadowMere then came through the door. "Hello Allan, I just came by to see how you were doing and to say thanks for getting me that date."

As if a light bulb appeared over my head, an idea came into my mind "ShadowMere, I need you to do something for me."

He gave out a sigh "What is it?" he didn't sound too happy.

"I need you to go into the Everfree forest and find a Purple Pegasus Pony, you'll know what to do from there."

He just stared at me "I don't like the sound of this."

"Deal with it." I said in an annoyed tone. I started to feel slightly angry for some reason.

ShadowMere sighed "Fine, but if this ends badly it's your fault."

"SURE WHATEVER JUST GET GOING!" I yelled at him.

He left the room to do the task. I sat there trying to calm down, I must have just let the stress get to my head. After that I felt tired, I decided to try sleep and let the wounds heal. I laid back and closed my eyes, undisturbed for the entire night.

Two weeks, three days into recovery.

I felt a sort of tingling around my body, I started to open my eye's, I saw the floor then I looked around to see ShadowMere with an angry look on his face. His horn was glowing, I looked around to see I wasn't in my bed. Suddenly the tingling stopped and I fell to the ground. "AAAAH!!" My wound began to hurt "What the hay!" I looked up at ShadowMere, it was now I noticed the bite marks on his hoof.

"You deserved it, sending me to get killed." He said with an annoyed tone.

"What, did you just get back?" I asked.

"No, finished yesterday but it got so late when I finished I needed to go home and get some rest. I just got here now." he responded.

I climbed back onto the bed slowly "So let me guess, you destroyed the shard with your OP abilities and left unhurt." I said sarcastically looking at the bite wound.

He was not amused. "It tried to bite my arm off, but I used my 'OP abilities' to get it off."

"Well if I were you I'd probably get that thing checked out by a doctor, you know make sure it's clean."

"Not yet." He said "How did you know that thing was in the forest?"

"I uh...   ...lucky, guess." I improvised, I didn't know what to say.

He didn't believe me for a second, but before he could press further Twilight walked in.

"Here Allan, I got Spike to make you some breakfast." She placed a tray onto the bed using magic. ShadowMere walked out.

"Thank's Twilight."

Two weeks, six days into recovery

I kept looking at the box that Rainbow dash had left. I was bored enough that I was tempted to look at what was inside it. I tried to break the temptation by not looking at it. Luckily, Lyra entered the room levitating a box with her.

"Hi Allan, how are you?" Her voice seemed to have concern in it.

"I'm about half way through this state of boredom. I can barely feel my back after Twilight gave me those pills. Other than that I feel good." I responded.

Lyra gave a caring smile "Well it's good to see that your doing well. I only heard about this yesterday when I ran into some unicorn who seemed annoyed about something. He told me you were badly injured, so this morning I rushed into town and pulled a few favors to get you this." She opened the box and inside was a fresh batch of muffins. "There's too many for one pony so I thought, maybe, we could share them."

I gave a friendly grin "That sounds like a great idea."

She smiled and we each picked out a muffin to start eating "I plan on taking care of you through this whole thing. I know a little bit about medical care so you don't have to worry about anything."

From there onward I didn't feel bored at any point in the recovery. However I couldn't escape one question that nopony considered asking until near the end of my recovery.

Three weeks, four days into recovery

"So how exactly did you get injured this badly?" asked Twilight.

I froze, I didn't have an answer prepared for that question and if I did I had already forgotten it. "I uh...  ...bad fall, one of my wings uh...  ...hit a tree and I...   ...fell onto a large sharp rock." I improvised.

Twilight looked at me as if she knew I wasn't telling the truth. "That must have been one really sharp rock to do that kind of damage."

"Well it probably was but you shouldn't trouble him any more," Lyra jumped into the conversation "He needs his rest and besides, it doesn't matter how he got it all that matters is that we help him get back on his hooves." said Lyra defensively. Twilight then left the room.

"I'm glad your here Lyra." I said.

She turned to me "Tomorrow I wont be here, I need to go help a friend of mine with something. It's only for tomorrow I'll be back before you know it." She walked up to the edge of the bed and gave me a hug "You should get some sleep, let the injury heal."

We ended the hug and she left the room.

Three weeks, five days into recovery

I was sitting in my bed staring at the small box Rainbow gave me again, I was thinking in my head 'Just look at what it is and get it over with.' I gave into the temptation and picked up the box. "One peek couldn't hurt." I opened the box.

In some sort of shock I threw the box and the item inside it across the room at the door, which just so happened to be opening.

"I knew it!" Yelled Rainbow dash as she entered the room. "I knew you would open it before I got here!"

I felt slightly betrayed "Where did you get that Rainbow!?"

"ShadowMere gave it to me but that's not important." Rainbow spoke in an angry tone.

I suddenly grew angry myself "When did he give it to you?"

Rainbow huffed "After you got the injury. Why, is there more your not telling me?!"

"No it's more I can't tell you." I replied.

Rainbow didn't seem convinced "Why can't you tell me? Do I not mean enough for you to trust me?"

"Why did ShadowMere give this to you?" I asked trying to change the subject.

"He told me it's things like this that always end up leading to nothing but trouble, then he called YOU nothing but trouble." She said. I already knew where this was going. "He found it in a crater in the Badlands and told me to give it to you."

Rainbow dash picked up the box and placed the contents in front of me, a Void Shard the size of a ponies head. "What, is it?" she asked.

"I can't tell you."

She got angry enough to throw the Shard across the room. "You know what, if you can't trust me with this kind of thing then I can't trust you." She turned around and walked towards the door. "We're done." She slammed the door shut and I was left in silence.

I looked at the large Void Shard, it hadn't shattered. I decided to put it back in the box and store it under the bed. I then sat there for the entire day, just thinking over what happened. I only knew so much, but one thing was certain, me and ShadowMere were going to have to have a little 'chat'.

Week four, end of Recovery

Lyra helped me get out of bed, "Wow, look at your back." I turned my head to see a large mark to indicate that I was injured there previously. I started to walk normally again. It took an hour or two before I felt like I had a back again. When I was ready I took a step outside and took in the fresh air. Lyra went home, I told her I was okay and that she needed some time to relax. I walked down a street later on, I heard an oddly familiar voice from beyond a nearby building. I looked over to who it was, it was ShadowMere eating an apple. I got angry, I remembered what I was going to do. I approached him, without warning I bit his tail and flung him into the nearby wall. Normally he'd be too big of a pony for somepony like myself to even budge, but he didn't expect something like that. He rubbed his head with his hoof and looked up at me.

I looked down at him with anger "You and I are going to have a little chat."
