Mad Pony: The Chaser’s Tale

Arc 1: Jack meets the Mane 6:

Chapter 1: Jack Encountered Fluttershy

Then Jack began to wake up from his dream. He woke up in a new environment as he heard the animals from the outside, but he grumbled under his breath. He noticed the animals look at him with curious, especially white rabbit looking at him. As if it was peering inside Jack's soul as it gives Jack the chills.

He looked around the place and he wondered where he was now. He got out of bed, but he never enjoyed animals. It got him a lot creep out around the place, but he thought that he was in Snow White.

He said in his mind, "I was in the forest and now I am in Snow's White's home. There are animals around the…”

Jack feels like that he was going to be annoyed when the birds landing on top of him, but he feels uncomfortable due to the environment.

As the Pegasus came in carrying a tray of tea, all the animals cleared the way for her as she walks up to Jack, "Oh, you're awake; I was starting to become worried about you…”

Jack doesn't know how to react as he didn't say a word anything since it appeared to be more girly. He looked around the place, but it makes him feel uncomfortable. He looked around as he wasn't sure what to say.

"You were in such a panic state... Zecora and I figured something horrible must have happened to you,” the Pegasus spoke in a concerned tone. "We thought you were being chased by a Manticore or perhaps even a Timberwolf. The Evergreen Forest is a bad place for any pony because of creatures like this. That and because the forest has a mind and magic of its own, it loves to play tricks on any unfortunately pony who gets lost in it.”

Jack cursed under his breath that he cannot smoke cigarettes anymore, but he wasn't sure if he should keep the promise. He looked around the place, but he was in the panicked about what was going to happen next.

Jack ended up listening in to what the Pegasus says, but he doesn't believe in magic. Who are they called him an unfortunately pony? He never encountered Manicore or Timberwolves before, but he was new in the world like a baby. He tried to think about it, but the forest has a name after all.

It was an odd name to call it the Everfree Forest from an odd prospective, but he doesn't have any fear. He was in panic because he used to be a human to pony, and encountered talking animals. He is trying to figure out what Equestia meant if he is in the world. As he remained calm when he closed his eyes and takes a deep breath. He was a talking pony too when he has a headache as it was overloading within his head.

The Pegasus looked at Jack as she should be afraid of him except she noticed that Jack has a mechanical leg containing his chainsaw. She didn't say a word, but she remained patient to allow him to keep calm. She feels something frightening within his soul through his eyes, but the white rabbit rushed up to her. The white rabbit tries to get her to notice his shadow of his former self, but the Pegasus didn't notice. As the animals keep their distance from him while the others are curious.

"Oh, by the way, my name is Fluttershy, I'm an animal caretaker,” the Pegasus introduced herself. "What's yours?"

Jack has to be nice since she and Zecora found him first, but he doesn't know the way to thank her enough. He looked at his jacket hanging from the liner along with his attire. Jack takes a deep breath when he looked at Fluttershy as he wasn't sure if he was going to tell her his name. He was going by the first name, but it was the same introduction that he gave to Gessor and Leo.

His mind has his own guilt for what he did to Leo, but he doesn't know why since Leo's father is the reason behind it. Leo was corrupted by his father to do what he wanted him to do. He doesn't know why he was thinking about it all of the sudden except this world made his heart very guilty. His world was black and white, but this world was colored. There was no sadness, anger, hostility, but it was peaceful. It was disturbing within his own mind as he introduced himself, "My name is Jack…”

Jack said, "Why am I thinking about the incidents after the Death Watch when I killed that bastard? Why am I being guilty for what I did? It was the bastard's fault, but…”

The memories were flowing when he killed Leo, but he was supposed to turn him in. He had a guilty as he flinched as if something wanted to pierce his heart. He doesn't understand, but he blamed it on Noa for this. He was confused on what to say as he was saved by Leo, but his past was going to haunt him. He was talking to himself, but he made Fluttershy nervous.

"Um, excuse me for asking...but is something wrong?" Fluttershy asked. "If...you don't mind me asking that is,” she sounded nervous.

"There are something that is left unsaid about the past," said Jack to Fluttershy and she reacted as if he got injured in battle.

"Oh my, you are hurt! I'll go get the First Aid!" Fluttershy said as she left to get the First Aid. "I'll be right back!"

She later came back carrying a First Aid kit; she used the materials in it to treat Jack's injuries.

"Hold still please? This might sting..,” she said as she created his injuries.

Jack said, "I am not hurt!"

"Oh!" Fluttershy exclaimed.

"I'm so sorry,” she gave Jack an apologetic look.

Jack grumbled under his breath. The only problem is that he cannot resist the face from Fluttershy as he takes the deep breath. The white rabbit doesn't trust him when they settled down for some tea. Jack was able to get to know Fluttershy and the town, but Equestia.

Jack asked, "So you are the animal caretaker, right?"

"That's right, I love animals,” Fluttershy said. "And all the little critters here are the animals I'm looking after. And if some pony has problems to take off their pets, I am the mare for the job. My friend Rarity usually has problems with her cat, Opulence, so she always comes to me if she is having trouble with her.”

"Pardon me for saying this, but that rabbit won't stop glaring at me" Jack said as referring to Angel Bunny.

"Oh, don't mind Angel Bunny, he can be quite the grump, but he means well,” Fluttershy said, but Angel didn't trust Jack at all.

He continued to glare at him, as if he wanted to beat the crap out of him, making Jack feel even more unnerved.

"Well tell him to stop glaring at me, he's creeping me out!" Jack complained.

"Oh, why so sorry,” Fluttershy said and turned to Angel, "Angel, could you please leave Mr. Jack alone, he's had a bad day and he needs his rest ok?"

Angel refused to as he was even more stubborn than a mule causing Fluttershy to give him the "stare", leaving Angel completely intimidated as he left.

"Wow,” Jack was actually impressed.

Fluttershy saw Jack impressed on how she keeps the animals tame as it was gifted, but she checked her time. As she reacted that she was late for something, but Jack wondered how she does it.

"I'm sorry Mr. Jack, but I have to go,” she said as she was getting ready to leave. "Would you like to come with me? If not, then you can stay here, if that's ok.”

Jack said to Fluttershy, "I will like to come you get to know the place.”

"Alright, I'll just go prepare a few things before we go,” Fluttershy said as she left a few minutes later, she came back.

"I am ready; let's go Mr. Jack,” she said as she opened the door.

Jack nodded when he said, "Ok, let's go…”

Jack feels like his stomach was turning when he came out and everything was peaceful around here. Jack accompanied Fluttershy on the road, but it was going to be a new opportunity to allow Jack to meet her friends. She knew Jack will love except she looked at him with calm. He could tell that he was still new around the place.

"Where did you come from?" Fluttershy said to Jack.

Jack answered, “Manhattan?”

Fortunately, Fluttershy though he actually meant "Manehatten", the big city of Equestria, and not the Manhattan from the human world where Jack used to live.

"Oh, so you are from the big city of Manehatten, interesting!" she said. "Well, you are going to love it here in Ponyville, especially once you meet all of my friends!"

Jack said in his mind. "There's a "pony" version of Manhattan here?" he looked confused, except he ends up shrugging it off.

"Oh (Beep) it,” he said in his mind.

"So who are your friends?"

"Well, there's Rarity, as I mentioned earlier,” Fluttershy said. "She is a unicorn who is a fashion designer who is very good at making dresses! The best ones she makes are the ones decorated with jewels, and I mean real-life jewels, not custom-made ones.”

"Custom made outfits with real-life jewelry," said Jack in his mind as he was surprised, "Interesting...”

Then Fluttershy notices a pink Earth Pony bouncing toward them.

"Oh, that's Pinkie Pie, she another one of my friends!" she looks at the pony known as Pinkie.

"Pinkie! Hello!"

Pinkie Pie stops in front of them.

"Hi there Fluttershy! How are you and…”

She notices Jack and unleashes a gigantic gasp. Then she runs off somewhere.

"Uh...?" Jack looked confused.

"Oh doesn’t worry, Pinkie Pie always reacts this way whenever she meets a new pony.”

Fluttershy explained know where she was going and what she was up to.

"We'll meet her again, I am sure.”

Jack said in his mind as he was a bit nervous, "This is creepy!"

"What does she do?" Jack said to Fluttershy.

"Oh, you'll find out when we meet her again.”

Fluttershy didn't want to ruin the surprise, since she knew what Pinkie was up to. Jack nodded when they headed to their location as Jack looked around the place except everyone noticed his mechanical leg. Everyone keeps their distance from him as they watched him.

"Where are you heading to?" said Jack curiosity.

Fluttershy stopped when they arrived at her destination as Jack bumped into her. When he lost track as he look around.

Fluttershy said, "We arrive!"

Jack asked, "Where are we?"

"Golden Oaks Library, my friend Twilight works and lives here,” Fluttershy explained.

Jack looked at the huge tree, but it was surprised that it could also be a library and house too. He thought it was Eco friendly when they went inside before he opened the door. The door swing open and hit him by none other than.

Three fillies came out of the library as they were hyper about something when they talked with each other. Fluttershy wondered what they were planning.

"Hello? Twilight?" Fluttershy asked as she looked inside. Then a purple unicorn appears walking up to her, followed by a baby purple dragon.

"Hello Fluttershy,” she greeted.

"Sorry we didn't notice you, mister?" said the orange Pegasus.

As the three fillies helped Jack back up on his hooves as they looked at him with curiosity. Jack looked at them for a second, but they looked like little children except he was reminded of his daughter so much. He has a headache when he reminded of the good times that he loved his daughter so much. He reminded of the good and sad times except he had a moment when he was dizzy.

"Who's that?" asked the baby dragon who noticed Jack talking with the three fillies.

Fluttershy ended up introducing Jack to the baby dragon except she noticed his expression that he doesn't trust him. The baby dragon noticed the mechanical leg that Jack has as he felt uncomfortable as he watched him talk to the fillies.

"This is Jack, Spike. Zecora and I found him in the Everfree Forest," Fluttershy introduced Jack to the baby dragon.

Twilight reacted with surprise when she wondered how to get the pony got to the Evergreen Forest. It doesn't add up when she looked at him, but it wasn't his mechanical leg and it was Jack himself. Twilight was very suspicious when she took one good look at him as she looked back at Fluttershy.

"No way! How did he get into the Everfree Forest?" Twilight asked in shock.

"I don't know, Zecora and I simply found him in a clearing, screaming out loud," Fluttershy explained, "We thought he was being chased by a Manticore or a Timberwolf, or some other dangerous creature, but we didn't see anything, just Mr. Jack, all shaken in fear and panic.”

Twilight said within her mind, "That something doesn't add up about him... It gives a bad karma in my opinion as if he has done something bad in the past. I needed the warn others, but now... Spike and I will have to keep a closer eye on him…”
