As the day went on Krieg stayed quiet in the back of my head, which was a good sign because that meant he was holding up his part of our deal. I explained to the mane six and Celestia what had happened before I woke up here and did my best to explain how my world was filled with technology. I also tried to explain to them how back in my world Krieg was a fictional character from a video game I was playing right before the bright flash of light. As I finished my explanation of everything, I saw that most of them had a look of confusion except for Twilight and Celestia. Twilight was more full of curiosity than anything else at being able to interact with a new life form. Celestia kept up a calm expression and didn’t give off more than asking an occasional question.

“You said before that Krieg was from a video game in your world correct? Was he the same in the video game as he is right now?” Twilight asked and I had to think about how to respond.

“Well it’s kind of complicated. When you play as him in the game yes he is very much like how he is now. He’s insane, violent, and wants to kill everything. But the game creators have stated before that he was once a normal mercenary type of guy. But he was captured and tortured by an evil corporation called Hyperion. They say that they experimented on him to make some type of super soldier but it caused him to go crazy and he escaped. Aside from that and what happens in the actual game I don’t know anything else.” I said as I took note that some of the facial expressions changed to that of sympathy maybe?

“Oh my, that’s just…awful…” Rarity finally said. “I mean, for somepony to cause another so much pain that they turn into, that. It’s just cruel.”

“Its torture, it’s not meant to be pleasant.” I replied a bit too bluntly.

“Well yes, but still…” Rarity said before falling quiet and I looked over to Celestia who still held the same calm expression.

“Well if you guys don’t have any more questions for me. I want to ask you all something’s.” I said as I looked over all of them. “First of all, where did you guys find me? Surely I didn’t just appear in this bed right?”

“Well no of course not.” Twilight said as she walked a bit closer. “You see, last night Princess Luna had planned a meteor shower but something was, off…” She said which caught my attention quickly.

“Let me guess, I fell from the night sky during the meteor shower.” I said and Twilight looked away with a look that told me there was more to it.

“Well yes but it wasn’t just you…there were five meteors that went off course in total. Two of them landed just outside of ponyville and were nothing more than meteors like we expected. So we just shrugged it off at first as a simple mishap. The other two landed in the everfree forest so it’s too dangerous for anypony except the royal guard to go investigate. But then there was you, you landed just right outside of Fluttershy’s cottage here.” She said motioning to the door and for me to follow here.

Getting up from the bed and followed Twilight from Fluttershy’s bedroom and through her cottage before coming to what I figured was the front door. I had to admit that everything seemed to match up with the TV show quiet accurately as far as the cottage went. But when twilight opened up the door, instead of seeing the small creek with a bridge over it like in the show. I was instead greeted by a massive crater that spanned maybe ten feet wide and seven feet deep just a couple feet away from the door. Did I really do that, but more importantly, why the hell wasn’t I dead from that? As questions flowed through my head the others soon joined us as we stepped out and stared at the hole in the ground in disbelief.

“So this is where you landed. Aside from smoking you were completely fine except for, well that…” Twilight said as she pointed to the saw blade in my forehead.

I didn’t answer, I just continued to stare at the massive hole before me as i got lost in deep thought. As I continued to stare at the hole something caught my eye. It was a small square black box at the very center of the crater where I figured I was when they found me here. I slowly made my way into the hole as Twilight and the others asked me what I was doing, but I was too caught up in finding out what this thing was to hear them. As I reached the bottom of the hole I reached down picked up the box and turned it over and brushed the dirt off of it. To my surprise it had an electronic screen with what looked like a radio wave flowing on it. I went to try and turn one of the dials on the side but the thing burst into a bright light which caused me to close my eyes and it simply vanished from my hand. Opening my eyes again I was greeted with the HUB from borderlands 2, the health bar, shield bar, Ammo, grenades, the action skill box, and even my EXP bar with “Legendary Psycho” under it but it didn’t say what level I was, I even had a mini-map. Bringing my hand up to try and touch the display I found that I was now holding my flaming infinity pistol that I had from the game. Giving myself a look over I had all of the items I had on my character last time I played it except for my assault rifle and rocket launcher. On my back I had the conference call shotgun and on my belt was the Rough Rider shield, my Fire Storm grenade mod, a relic that I had that decreased any damage I took, and my class mod. I also had the buzz axe that was Krieg’s signature item and I could hear Krieg in my head give off a laugh of delight.

“What in tarnation are those thing?” Applejack's voice called be back to reality as I looked back to see the mane six and Celestia looking me over with all of my weapons and gear. When my attention

“These where all the weapons and items I had in my game.” I said as I gave the axe a few swings with my arm, finding it surprisingly light.

“I trust you don’t plan to miss use those things now will you Joel?” Celestia called out in a now stern voice that told me not to mess around with this stuff too much.

“I won’t princess, but I need to make sure of something…” I said as I climbed back out of the hole with my gear and looked around for something flammable. I spotted a couple bales of hay and looked over at Fluttershy. “Can I use one of these?”

“Um, I guess you can.” She said as I took hold of one of the bales and tossed it into the crater. “What are you planning to do with it down there though?”

“Testing a theory I have…” I said as I pulled out my flaming infinity pistol and took aim at the hay bale at the bottom. “…and if I’m right, I just hope this doesn’t hurt too badly…” With that I fired at the bale of hay and to no surprise to me it burst into flames, and so did I. My body ignited into flames and my health bar started to go down ever so slowly.

“OH MY GOSH YOU’RE ON FIRE!!” Fluttershy exclaimed and all of the other nearly jumped out of their skin as they tried to find a way to put me out.

“Guys I’m fine, the fire doesn’t burn me…WE EMBRACE THE FLAME!” Krieg finished off my statement and I gave a sigh as the fire went out on its own and I was left smoking, literally. “See?”

“What do you mean it didn’t burn you?! YOU WERE ON FIRE!” Twilight exclaimed as she immediately began looking me over for burns, and to her surprise she found none. “But…that’s not possible…”

“I assume you had a reason for doing this Joel?” Celestia asked as she looked a little afraid for my well being, I nodded.

“In the game Krieg is from, there is a skill you can have that makes it so when I set something on fire I have a chance to catch fire myself. Normally this is a bad thing, but for Krieg it’s actually a good thing.” I tried to explain.

“Pray tell how in equastria can being on fire be a good thing?” Rarity asked.

“Well there are skills you can get that make you more powerful in the game when you are on fire. One of them is damage resistance, which is why I’m not that badly burned if at all.” I explained and the others just looked at me baffled, except for Celestia, she seemed very serious and concerned.

“Joel…What all can Krieg do?” She asked, her voice was serious, she wanted to know exactly what I was capable of, or rather what Krieg was capable of.

“Well, if this is anything like my character from the game, I might be able to turn into a badass mutant Psycho. All the other skills I had only made him stronger physically.” I answered honestly.

“Show me…” She said, and I had to process the request.

“Um, I’m sorry, you want me to show you what?”

“I said show me. Turn into this badass mutant psycho.” It took me almost a minute to process the request again. I didn’t really know how to even to turn into a badass, let alone if it actually would work.

“I’m afraid I don’t know how to do that. But I do know I wouldn’t be able to do it now even if I did know how.” I answered and she frowned.

“Do you care to explain?”

“Well if it works like the game, I’d need to be severely injured to activate it. Right now I’ve barely got so much as a scratch from burning just now, and personally I don’t want to get that close to death to do this.” Celestia’s frown went away and she gave a look of concern.

“Very well. I shall not ask such a thing of you again. However, I wish for you to give me a written report about all of these skills you both possess.” She said as her horn began to glow. “I’m afraid I must leave you all at this point. Despite the importance of this matter I still have my other duties to attend to back in canterlot. Joel, give your written report to Twilight and have her send it to me when it is done.” I gave her a nod of agreement and she gave me a soft smile that put me at ease. “Until next we meet, farewell.” And with that she used her magic to teleport away and now it was just me and the mane six.

“Well Joel…” Twilight said as I turned to her as she walked up to me. “…I guess you should come with me to the Library, I’ve got plenty of scrolls and-“ Before she could finish there was a large explosion coming from the forest next to us, the everfree forest.

“You said that two other meteors fell in there right?” I asked as i looked back to Twilight and she nodded.

“Yes, but it’s too dangerous for anypony to go in there without the royal guard so we haven’t been able to investigate, you’re not suggesting…” She said with a bit of concern.

“Well it’s a possibility that I wasn’t the only one to come here through meteor travel.”

“Yes we know that, but that’s not what I’m talking about. You’re not really going to…” I smirked.

“…Go in there and find them and bring them back? Yup!” I said as I pulled out my buzz axe. “Look Twilight, if there’s another person who’s stuck here like me and are in trouble right now, I want to help them. Who knows, maybe they know what’s going on and how I can get back to normal.” I said as I looked at her and the rest of the ponies. “So, are you going to help me or not?”

Author's Note

So I'm debating on how i want to continue out this story in terms of posting new chapters. Currently I'm posting chapters frequently but they have minor grammar and spelling mistakes in them and are also rather short. But i know for some people that bugs the hell out of them and they like longer and more detailed chapters so i currently have two options before me: 1) keep doing what I'm doing now and have new chapters up every other day or so. Or 2) double the length of my chapter and fix all the problems with said chapters, but reduce the frequency in which i post them. What do you guys think?
