Garrett awoke to a burning pain in his head he reached up to rub his head, and found his fingers were extremely hard, and he couldn't move them. Broken? Most likely, though he had suffered worse, he'd just get Katie to fix them when he got back ho- wait where the hell was he? He looked at his surroundings, and saw a crowd full of... horses?

"The hell?" He asked himself. He blinked hard and looked around again. Yep they were horses, but some of them had horns, wings...

"You alright there partner?" one asked, he looked to see who had spoken. She was orange, with blond hair done up in a ponytail. she had light green eyes and a stetson on. she had no horn or wings so he had to assume she was one of the normal ones. she spoke with a strong southern accent.

"Where am I?" Garrett asked looking at his surroundings. He couldn't help but notice what seemed like every single pony in the town he was in was looking right at him, and it was making him uneasy... Like start grabbing sharp pointy things uneasy. It must have shown because the orange pony yelled,

"Alright, notin' to see here y'all!" All but four ponies left the square.

"As for where you are, you are in Ponyville dear," Another one said. This one was white, she had a purple mane with large curls.

"Ponyville?" Garrett asked, confused. He looked down at himself. he looked normal, dirty and bloody of course, but perfectly normal.  He had brown hair, slightly tan skin brown eyes, a gray undershirt, and tan shirt and slacks with brown sneakers, he was relatively fit, what with all the fighting, and was about average height.

His pack had ripped and there were only a few items left inside it, though he couldn't tell what they are.

"Um, excuse me," A quiet voice said. "But what are you?" She asked.

"Well, I'm a human, duh," Garrett said looking at the winged pony. She was yellow with a long light pink mane

"A what?" The southern one asked.

"Human, H-U-M-A-N," Garrett said, spelling the word with shrinking patience. "Hey, who are you guys?" he asked

"Well my name is Applejack," The southern one said, tipping her hat.

"Dear, I am Rarity," The white one said, holding her head high.

"I'm Fluttershy," The yellow one muttered, barely audible.

"Hi!" A pony that was all pink with a puffy mane shouted. "I'm Pinkie Pie!"

"Sup?" A pony with a mane and tail with the colors of the rainbow and cyan body said, nodding toward him, "I'm Rainbow Dash,"

"Yeeaaahhh," Garrett said. Considering he had seen talking horses, he could get over the weird names. "Well my name is Garrett,"

"So whats with the torn bag Garrett?" Rainbow Dash asked pointing a hoof toward his bag. He looked at his bag. There were maybe three, four things in it apposed to the full inventory he had when he had blacked out.

"No, no, no, NO!" Garrett yelled. All of the things he had in that bag were essential. "DAMN IT!" He swore. He sifted through the torn remains. He found a potion of health, some Gel, and an Aqua Scepter. Well at least he had some form of defense.

"Oh, oh, oh, whats all that stuff?" Pinkie Pie asked as Garrett tried to stuff some of the materials in his pockets.

"Well this is-" Garrett started however he was interrupted by a lavender pony with wings and a horn calling to them.

:"Hey Twilight!" Applejack shouted, waving.

"Girls we have a problem," The pony known as Twilight started. "Princess Celestia is talking about some kind of infection spreading across Equestria, its really weird, its purple!" Garrett snapped out of his train of thought.

"Wait, did you say purple?" he asked. Twilight looked at Garrett and gave him a look, first shocked, then skeptical, then totally deadpan.

"Yes, you wouldn't happen to know anything about this right?" She asked, giving him an unimpressed look.

"Actually I would," Garrett said to the shock of everypony. "As you may have guessed, I'm not from here, I'm from a place from Terraria and what you're describing sounds like the Corruption, a biome made of pure shadow and darkness, as a hero in Terraria its my job to help cleanse the world," He said, not being able to keep a note of smug pride in his voice. That small bit of smugness was obliterated when Rainbow Dash said

"Yeah and you managed to bring it to a whole different world instead," She said.

"Yeah cause I wanted to fucking end up in talking horse land," Garrett muttered, but he couldn't help but feel she was right, his job was to cleanse the world, and he had only managed to possibly doom this one.

"Whatever, but if this is true, you need to see Princess Celestia," Twilight said.

"Princess who-what-now?" Garrett said. In Terraria there was no royalty. Well, unless you counted the King Slime (Garrett sure as hell didn't)

"I'll explain on the way," Twilight said. With that Garrett walked with his new found... friends? No. Not even close.  They went to the train station, six talking ponies and a bloodied human. No doubt they gathered many looks along the way.
