Chapter 4

*Crack*

You had barged into the library with such force that the magical barrier around you shattered. As you regained your senses, the other guards had arrived and were scanning the room, on the left side of the tree was a scared purple unicorn and a little purple dragon.

In the middle of the library was a figure, it was kneeling down clutching its middle half with its appendages. By the look of it, the creature was bipedal but was skinnier and less muscular than a normal diamond dog, including it had no hair on its body nor fur. It was wearing a shirt of some type on its upper body with pair of pants on its lower buddy.

You could see a puddle of blood dripping from where the creature was clutching its sides. You did a check on the creature using a spell you learned from interrogating griffons. What you saw in the creature was unexpected, there was chaos magic in this creature and around the air. Puzzle parts clicked in your mind as you also felt a chaotic feeling coming from Canterlot.

The creature lifted its head, eyes full of sadness and pain, mouth quivering, the creature started to spasm before dropping into the floor, unconscious. As you look at the scene before, you turn and face the guards that have gather around and said.

"Who here is in charge of the this squad of guards?"

"I am", said a lunar guard bearing the rank of a lieutenant.

"Get a medical team in here and help that creature, restrain him at all cost, and never leave your eyes off it, is that clear lieutenant?"

"Yes sir.", said the stallion before he saluted you and went off to get a doctor. You glance at the creature before you cast a spell that summons upon a cage upon the creature. You smile contently before looking over to the unicorn and a dragon. You walk over to them. Twilight was sitting on her rump holding her dragon close.

"Are you okay Twilight?", you ask facing the unicorn.

"Yes I am."

"What did you do?", sternness in your voice.

"Well I attempted a warp spell, and then the creature appears.", fear in her voice.

"I fear that you have warped a creature from another universe or  dimension, I fear your spell may have released Discord."

Twilight gasped and held a straight face as she said.

"I must write a letter warning the Princess of this matter."

"No you are to go to a friends house for night and maybe for tomorrow until we can relocate the creature. I have everything under control, ok?"

"Yes sir.", a tint of sadness in her voice as she ushered her dragon to get his stuff.

Sweet Celestia I'm getting bored of this shit. You conjure a blank parchment and a ink and quill. You write,

Dear Princess Celestia and Luna,

It seems that your student Celestia has warped a creature from another here in Ponyville. Luna, your son is fine, he is currently inspecting the creature. As for my other concerns, I fear that since I sense a lot of chaotic essence in and around the creature, Discord has been released. I only hope that my buffer spell has stop Discord from returning, and will buy us some time before he returns.

As for other news, my stay in Ponyville is uneventful until today. There was party because I was new pony in this town and then this giant UFO began shooting banana peels and somepony exclaiming ‘I LOVE BANANAS’. So much yolo & swag in this town and then a midget from another universe dropped from a banana cloud and moles-.

PINKIE, GET OFF MY COMPUTER!

Fine meanie pants, I was just adding more awesome details in this story.

*Sigh* Pinkie, just get the fuck out of my swivel chair and go sit in the thinking bean bag chair.

*Humph* Fine.

As for other news, my stay in Ponyville is uneventful until today. There was a party because I was a new pony and I secretly ate half the party's muffin pile. Anyways, keep an eye on Discord as I try to get the Elements of Harmony. Oh, can you send me the Elements, you never gave me access to the Element of Harmony vault.

With best regards,

Commander Surplus Flow

There that oughta do it. You roll the paper before casting a dragonfire spell on it. You throw the letter into the air, the letter never reached the ground as it was incinerated half way down.

Ponyville Dungeon - 2 hours later/center]

Pain. That was all you felt all over your body. You woke with a start sitting upright in a bed. You could hear beeping from a machine that was hooked up from you. You scan around and find yourself in a jail of some sort. You were restrained with leather straps around your hands and legs.

You look to the side of the bed and saw a blue horse in a chair. It was reading a book in blue aura surrounding the book as if it was being levitated  You pull on straps to try to free yourself. Then you wince as a pain flares from your stomach. You look down and see a cast around your belly. You become desperate and pull on your restraints more.

“Thats not going to help you you know.”

You look at the horse, jaws wide.

“You can talk!”

“And you can too apparently”

The horse chuckles as the book is set down. A flash blinded your eyes for second before realizing a orb of light had materialized on of the ceiling. You adjust your eyes from the change of light. You look at the horse, inspecting it.

It had a dark blue mane and tail while its coat was a neon-blue on its but was a tattoo resembling a 4 tip spiral with a blue atom in the middle. On the outside of the spiral were 4 stars. It had a horn protruding from its forehead. You chalked it up that it was a male unicorn. As you stare at the unicorn, Surplus got a better inspection at it then before.

The creature could talk and was intelligent, after discussions with the doctors, it could not use magic. This creature looked intimidating. It had a sleek brown mane, no tail, 5 digits on each end of its appendages. Its eyes were olive green while its skin was a whitish yellowish tone. The doctors said that it was an omnivore, B+ blood, its clothes had been cleaned and fitted onto the creature.

Then the creature started thrashing out. Yelling,

“This isn’t real, this isn’t real, you're probably on drugs or maybe this is all a dream, yeah a dream.”

The creature started hyperventilating, theres probably one method that could get him out of his delusional daze.”

You teleported in your most prized and most terrified weapon against your enemies in your magical grasp. You aimed the the metal piece at the freaked out creature before you cock the weapon.

*Click*

The creature faced you and its face instantly turned into a terrified expression. You had selected sedative ammo, they look like small green cylinders, similar shape to a bullet. You carried bullets, sedative, explosive, magic ammo.

The bullets were identical to the bullets you found in the weapon 8 years ago, copper head bullets. The explosive ones were yellow, while the magic one were for substitute for bullets, they were a blue color.

You make the sedative, explosive, and magic ammo by condensing them into pure magic, then shaping them into a bullet like shape, then add the flavours, like a sleep spell for the sedatives, or condensed explosion in an explosive bullet. The magic ammo was your pure arcane magic, same way but without the flavours. You only used it when practicing or when you want to conserve your copperhead bullets.

And by the looks of things, the creature was afraid of your weapon.

“Where did you get that!?”

“Oh, its just Woona.”, Luna hated it when you said Woona, or when Celestia says it. It was Celestia and the Prince to convince me to name the weapon Woona.

“What the hell, you're a talking unicorn holding a gun in front of my face. Who the hell are you?”

“My title is Commander Surplus Flow. And yours?”

“Steve Jinks, so let me get this straight, why am I restrained and where in the world am I?”

“Steve, I ordered that you be restrained, for the safety of everypony, or everyone, I hate the puns really.” Taking deep breath before saying, “As for location, you are in the Equestria, Welcome to Ponyville.”

“Ok, I’m in the land of ponies?”

“Yes, I have question for you, how do you know what this weapon I'm holding is?”

“Dude, thats a revolver, or as they say in my world, a gun, a bit futuristic with its bulky design, and what's with the glowing from the chamber?”

“I just call Woona, as for the glowing, I use magic ammo, this is sedative ammunition that I hoof crafted with my magic and sleep spells.”

“So if you shoot me with that, I go to sleep? Is it like a tranquilizer?”

“Yes but i also got copperhead, explosive, and magic ammo.”

“Explosive ammo, dude you gotta show me that sometime.”

“Nope, anyways, as the royal guardian yada yada yada yada, I present your royal guards to make sure you stay put and watched.”

Then 2 guards enter the cell, they wore midnight armour, standard Lunar guard armour. They held nothing but a gun like weapon in each holster on their armour. It was an old-fashioned hand cannon, fires nothing but a medium sized cannonball at anywhere they point.

“These are 2 of my own trained soldiers, the rest are posted throughout Equestria, and some are part of the Princesses and Princes royal guard. I must say, I’m quite proud of my soldiers, best of the best.”

“So, I’m just gonna stay down here like an animal?”

“No, you are deemed safe, and the Princess Celestia made you a Equestrian citizen. On another topic, neither the Princesses nor I can send you home sorry, best wishes, and stay away from a pink pony with frizzly hair.”

You teleport in your sombrero, stash the revolver and book in the sombrero, then you put it on. You make your way outside of Ponyville.
