The mystery of Barry
Chapter 1 The Hospital, revised
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Uhhh my head", I was able to slowly regaining my vision again and I noticed that I was in a hospital bed. As I sat up in the bed and Looked around the room seeing all the pictures of medical photos of ponies and looked outside the window realizing that I must of been on the 3rd or fourth floor, "Shit" ...."Where the HELL AM I"??...... I heard voices coming and I hid behind the door waiting and hopefully find a way out of here. The voice was getting closer and my heart started to race. Are these the people that kidnapped me, oh man it's a girl. "Shit" I murmured and waited.
" He's in this room," said the girl, "but he still might be unconscious since we accidently dropped him on the floor."
I waited nervously for the voices to go away. I waited for a few minutes and opened the door to find the coast was clear. As I walked out of the room into the hallway looking for an exit. "What is with all these pony posters I hope this is a dream", I thought. As I came to the end of the hallway, I noticed two doors one with a pony on stairs and on an elevator. I should take the stairs, I know there are somebody probably be in the elevator. I opened the door to the stairwell and looked down to see if anyone was in the stairwell, luckily there was no one in there and decided to start going down. When I reached the first floor, I peeked out the window and saw a few ponies. Rubbing my eyes to see if I was actually seeing what I just saw. "Oh Holy Crap." I murmured. After the ponies entered a room that had a name scribbled on it which I couldn't read from the distance, I walked out of the stairwell and walked down the hall. "This is the weirdest hospital I've ever seen there is no one here but just ponies," I said to myself. As I quietly snuck around the hallway, I read a sign that main entrance to the Left, to the right was the staff lounge and entrance. I bet there will be many people around the front entrance so I'll go this way and took the path to the right. As I walked I looked into a few rooms that had windows and couldn't believe what I was seeing. Just as I passed a few more doors, a door opened behind me and I froze and turned around and saw a white pony with a nurses hat on. Her eyes connected to mine and she took a step back and ran off. ".... I don't like the look of that", I said.
Then the alarms goes off and on the announcer starts saying Code red I repeat Code red, the patient H is out of his room and is wandering around, staff if you see him sedate him.
"SHIT, I really don't like this"... I headed towards the door and opened and went through. Looking to my surprise I bumped into a couple of nurses that were about to clock in for their shift. I knew they heard the alarm.
"Sir please come back to your room with me or I will be forced to sedate you", said one of the pony nurses.
I stared at them and said, "go away I don't want to hurt you". The nurses took a step closer. I grabbed the syringe from them and I was able to inject it into one of the ponies and watched them gasp in shock. I bolted past them and ran out the door that led outside. I looked at my side and noticed that there was a syringe in my side but the fluid I guessed that was a tranquilizer was barely missing. "SHIT" I have to hide before I'm out cold. I saw a forest and ran as deep as I could. I found a large tree with a lot of coverage and climbed into it, and passed out.
------------------------------------(meanwhile somewhere else)-----------------------------------------------------
"What do you mean that he escaped and knocked out a nurse with her own syringe? Well send a search party for him, least the other nurse got him in the side with her syringe . If anyone finds him bring him straight too me," said Twilight.
As the search party scourged the surrounding forest looking for Barry, they were surprised that they saw the syringe that was supposedly stuck him was stabbed into the tree showing them that not all the tranquilizer was injected into him.
"Hey I think he's not here lets go this way and see if he's this way."
(Only if they looked up in the tree, they would of seen a boot. )
I woke up and all I knew it was nighttime since the moon was over head. I climbed down the tree when one of the branches snapped and I feel on something weird, as I looked down I was on something wooden and it had green eyes and horrible breath. "HOLY SHIT" as I got off and ran like hell. The tree wolf kept a good pace as I dodged trees an low branches until I came out of the field and into an apple orchard. "Man this thing is persistent." The thing yelled out and a nearby house turned on a light and not thinking I took a sharp turn barely missing a swipe from the thing and I feel down. "Shit, I don't want to die tonight." I stared into the things eyes, my back hugging a tree then out of nowhere an apple hit the thing in the face and turned towards where the apple was thrown. I decided this was my chance and started to run again noticing that I must of cut my leg against a rock when I fell. In the background I could hear the thing scream in agony as it must of died or ran off. "Oww" I said while looking at the cut on my right leg which had blood trailing almost to my socks.
"Are you alright Sugarcube"?
I looked up and just stared and so did the orange pony it looking at me. "Want do you want? Where am I? What was that thing?" I asked.
"It's you" said the pony...
"Wait did you just talk"?... man who ever kidnapped me sure did used some powerful drugs on me. (In pony's mind, "good he doesn't know )."
"What did you mean, It's you?" I asked her.
"I was part of the search party that was sent out to look for you, where have you been hiding," said the orange pony?
"Did you find the syringe in the tree? if so did you look up," I told her?
"Yea we found the syringe but none of us thought you would of been able to go as far as you did with the tranquilizer in your system (she handed me a green apple.) I need to take you to the hospital," said the orange pony," also I'm Applejack what's your name?"
" I.. I'm Barry. I just got out of there barley this morning as you can see. All I remember before the hospital was that this morning I was home and then I was kidnapped and I remembered stabbed one of those kidnappers in their leg".. (Applejack moved her right front leg behind the left one.)
"Hey Barry said Applejack let me take you to my friend Twilight I bet she could help you and treat your leg."
It took me awhile to think but I eventually said sure and she grabbed my hand in her mouth and I followed her in the moonlit apple orchard. I remembered the green apple she gave me and I took a bite out of it "this is good Applejack".
"Please call me AJ."
"Ok AJ" I said as I took another bite of the apple. "So you run this whole orchard by yourself?"
"No, my brother Big Macintosh helps me run it. But he, Granny Smith and Apple Bloom are asleep right now. You were lucky that Timberwolf woke me up or that wolf would of gotten you and ripped you to shreds and Twi.." (she quieted Instantly).
"And Twi?" who's that I asked?
"It's no one," said A.J. As she continued to take Barry to go visit Twilight. She knew that Barry was raising suspicion. "So Barry what do you do for a living," asked Applejack? "I work at Sweet Apple Acres."
"I worked at the Nuclear power plant as an electrician," said Barry. " My job was to keep all the electrical systems in order and do any maintenance if necessary." (I could see that she didn't really know what all of that meant.)
"Well Barry, here we are this is Twiligh'ts house" and she knocked on the door. She knocked on the door a couple of times before Twilight answered.
I watched as the purple pony answered the door saying "hi Applejack. A.J. do you know what time it is?" Then she saw Barry and gasped "you're the one who escaped the hospital and they couldn't find you." Twilight looked at his leg and gasped "your hurt. "Applejack get him inside and get him bandaged up, I have to write a paper to Princess Celestia about finding Barry... I mean umm never mind."
"Hey how did you know my name" asked Barry? "Where am I?"
"You are in the land of Equestria," said Twilight smiling. While Applejack was getting the first aid kit, Twilight went to the kitchen to get Ice.
Barry was looking around and decided to go outside and look at the stars. "Ah much better," just watching the stars and try to get this night over with. He looked at his watch and saw that it was 2 A.M. "man tomorrows going to be a long day." (Twilight came out and went up too him.)
"I have a spare bedroom you can use for the night but you have to promise not to sneak out," said Twilight.
Barry followed her inside her house as she showed him to the guest room.
"Here you go Barry, and sleep tight," said Twilight.
"Ok" said I told her and went to the bed and laid down on it, "man this bed is soft". I looked at the books on the shelf and I shut my eyes while laying on the bed thinking about what happened today. I woke up around 8 A. M. and slowly opened the door and saw that Twilight had 5 other ponies, one of them included A.J. I could barely make out what they were saying from where I was at.
"Twilight can you tell us why Me and Rainbow Dash had to go kidnap Barry from his own world" asked Applejack?
"Princess Celestia didn't give me any reasons but said that he was extremely important", said Twilight. She turned her head and saw me poking my head out the door. The look of panic came on her face instantly. "He heard us," said Twilight.
I shut the door and climbed out the window and headed back into the forest and put my I pod on and put Fallen Angel by Black Veil Brides on and continued to walk deeper into the forest until I stumbled on my tool bag with the tools in it. I picked them up and looked around a little in the area but I didn't find anything useful anymore and continued to walk.
"Barry," asked Twilight "please speak to me." She opened the door and saw that the window was open. Barry was gone and she told her friends about Barry's fast leave. They all left and split up and searched Ponyville for him. The only trail was a few feet prints that was where he landed from the window.
"Derpy did you see a man run around here within the last few minutes," asked A.J.? She nodded and pointed towards the Forrest. "Oh Holy Celestia" she murmured and ran to gather her friends and tell them the news.
"He went where," said Twilight?
"Everfree forest," AJ said.
"This is not good, not good at all.." Said Rarity.
"Spike you need to stall princess Celestia and Luna if we don't find him in time", said Twilight (she was worried.)
"No problem Twilight" said Spike and went back inside the house.
The six ponies into the Everfree forest and started to look for Barry. They were deep inside the forest when they found very little trace of him. Even Twilight was using her magic to trying to find him. They were searching all day until they found an apple core under a tree. She looked up and was Barry eating Zap apples.
"Barry we found you," said Twilight happily.
"Um partner how many of those Zap Apples have you eaten so far," asked AJ?
"Around at least 6 why, these things are delicious," I told them and took a bite out of another Zap Apple. Took my shirt off and tied it where it could be used as a bag and filled it with the rainbow colored apples.
"Man you are going to be sick later today" said AJ. "Those apples are magic. Uh Twilight we need to get him back now as he's not stopped eating those apples yet". She tried to take the makeshift bag from Barry but he jumped back still eating the apple.
I jumped out of the tree, "Look I'm late for work and I have no clue where I am. I asked you guys earlier and I know there has to be something fishy going on. Everyone here is just dancing around my questions and I'm not leaving this area until I get some answers."(Twilight tried to move me with her magic but I had good grip on the tree, Rainbow Dash flew up to him but stopped as Barry drew a screwdriver right in front of her.)
"Fine," said Twilight. "Princess Celestia told us to find you after the hospital breakout. You satisfied yet?"
"No not really," I said as I walked up closer to them. I had put my screwdriver back into the case and shut it.
Just as I did Two huge ponies came in, with horns and wings, one of them was white and the other was black. "Hold it right there please come with us immediately".
They all saw the fear in Barry's eyes as he went further into the forest running into a dried up river bed and tore his pants on the ground and just prayed that this nightmare was over soon. I knew they were following me and I knew I'd be caught soon so I looked in the river bed and picked up a few shells that looked cool and waited for the screaming "I found him". I made a mental note to myself reminding me to get to the bottom of this and I can't trust anyone for the moment. I was surprised that they left me the rest of the day alone, I was expecting them to take me to prison or whatever they were planning on doing.
"Are you sure it's alright to leave him in there", asked Twilight and AJ.
"Well," said Celestia," he's on edge and spooked already and he has to come out sometime because I've never seen anyone eat that many apples without vomiting. Twilight you and your friends will go find him tonight, but be careful I.. I mean we need him alive for our plan to go into effect. "
"Ok ," said Twilight nervously and they all left the forest.
"What plan" asked her friends?
"Oh you will all find out soon enough" has she smiled .
