Chapters I. Was. Falling.
And also screaming out of fear & shock about my situation.
I was just falling through clouds like a pebble, & was screaming for dear life. Even if I know know one will either 1: Come & try to help me & 2: Hear me over the gust of wind slapping over my face.
It felt like forever & I was starting to get bored. I kept on screaming, even if I wanted to stop, but the endless falling made me scared. 'There has to be an end... Theirs clouds so, that means that this is definitely a living planet. I wonder what is the dominant species is... I hope no bugs are, I hate bugs!' I shuttered at the thought of bugs controlling this planet. I would seriously leave this place if it was.
I was too busy to notice that I was falling strait into a forest. When I finally noticed, I was falling strait into one of the trees, breaking the branches as I went through. But what was strange was that I didn't feel anything as I broke each & every branch in my way.
I hit the ground, giving a huge gust of dust out of the earth. I gave a hard cough after the impact & couldn't move. I didn't know if it was cause of the deadly fall or just me being lazy. It was lucky that I landed on my back cause I was looking at the sky, seeing some clouds with my body shape on it. I also saw my messenger bag on one of the broken branch, but I didn't care. I gave a light giggle seeing the clouds. They looked stupid.
I suddenly felt tired, just laying there. Didn't know cause of the crash or how wonderful the sun's heat on my body, but I just fell asleep, having not a care in the world.
~POV 3rd Person~
"That. Should. Do it! Finally!" Rainbow Dash shouted, kicking the last cloud in Ponyville. 'Derpy should really remember to turn off the cloud maker. If I didn't awesomely got rid of the clouds, Ponyville might be covered in clouds for decades!' she thought.
Rainbow left one cloud unharmed cause she was planning on taking a long nap as her reward.
Rainbow landed on it & started trotting in place to fluff up the cloud, makes it more comfortable for her. Lied down & was just about to close her eyes, when she heard a loud bang, almost like one of her Rainbooms. She looked at where the sound came from, & saw something falling out of the sky.
'What the hay..?' It was as big as a mare, but it wasn't. Rainbow could slightly hear a scream coming from the thing falling. She felt that she should help, but what if it's secretly a monster that might destroy the town & kill everypony! Rainbow started to fly to the creature, but she brought her cloud as a hiding place. Rainbow watched as the creature continued falling, going through some Everfree clouds like nothing.
Rainbow was just at the edge of the Everfree when she heard branches break & then saw a huge gust of dust. 'I don't think that it survived... I should go tell somepony about this... TWILIGHT!' Rainbow thought. And without another second to spare, she sped off to the Golden Oaks Library, thinking of how to explain this to Twilight.
'I bet she won't believe this.'
"I don't believe you." said Twilight
'So called it' Rainbow thought
"The only thing that can relate to your description is a human, but they are an old ponies tale. They don't exist."
"Then why don't you come with me to encounter this thing then. If its not anything you know, I might need back up."
Twilight just gave me a deadpan stare.
"I'm serious Twilight. What if this thing tries to go into Ponyville?"
"Hmm... Fine. We'll go to the Everfree to find this thing. If its harmless, we will just leave it be; but if it tries to harm us, we might have to report this to the Princess."
"Alright!" Rainbow shouted. "I'll go get the others, if that's what your thinking."
"But... How did..."
"We always do cool things like us with our friends all the time. And more ponies mean more help." Rainbow said logically.
"Are you alright Rainbow... You don't seem like yourself."
"Just a little bored. Need a little adventure hear and there."
"Okay? Just tell them to meet at the library, ok?"
"Yeah, yeah, I got it."
Rainbow quickly flew to one of her closest friends house, obviously to tell them to meet at the library.
'I really needed this. It's getting boring here in Ponyville.'
~POV 89~
"Ugh! My head..." Sleeping on the ground is not relaxing. 'Never again!' I thought. I sat up stretching my back, hearing the pops on the joints. I looked up, seeing my bag on one of the branches. 'Even if it might not have anything useful, I should at least keep it. For storage use.' I thought still starring at it.
I took a step, not seeing where I stepped and tripped on dirt, head first. 'Ow!' I got up seeing that I was in a crater, bigger than me. I turned around, seeing a huge gaping hole with my imprint on the center. 'D-did I make that?!'
I continued looking at the hole that I'm still in, starting to think that I'm not how you say normal .
I then started getting out of the crater, this time watching my step. I looked at my surroundings, seeing nothing but trees, bushes, and more trees. Not much to look at. I looked at my bag again, seeing how high up it was. 'How will I ever get it down.' thinking rather dramatically.
I started climbing the tree, getting higher and higher as I got closer and closer to my bag. I was at arms reach. 'Just.. a little.. Closer!'
As I got closer to the bag. As if time stopped, I saw a flash of rainbow, and my bag was gone, comepleatly!
"What the!"
'My bag! What happened!' I looked all around me, not seeing the bag anywhere. Then I heard a voice.
"Hey ape!? Looking for this ?"
I looked up to see a blue Pegasus with a rainbow mane and tail, holding my bag around it's neck.
"My Bag!"
"This thing needs to me 20% cooler. Maybe Rarity can put my cutie mark on it." the pony said
"Don't you dare mess with that bag!" I shouted at the Pegasus.
"Well you have ta catch me first!" then, without a reasponse, the pony flew off. But not without me grabbing it's tail.
"H-hey! Let go!"
"Give it back!"
"Never!"
I kept grasp of the tail, ignoring the wind hitting my face. I saw below me five more ponies. Two were Unicorns, two were earth ponies, and one was a Pegasus. They were all looking at me, muzzles agape.
"Get OFF!" With that, the Pegasus wiped her tail and I let go. We were pretty high up, and I knew that I couldn't survive another deadly fall. I covered my eyes, not wanting to see my fate. I didn't know what happened next, but I heard six gasps and I didn't hit the ground.(Even if I was a few foot away from the ground)
Chapter 3: "What the hay?!"
~POV 3rd Person~ ~A Few Minutes Ago~
The other girls arrived a few minutes ago at the library, all hearing Twilight explaining the situation. All of the girls thought Rainbow was doing some big prank, but once Twilight said that she believed me, they started making plans on how to encounter the creature Rainbow saw falling from the sky.
"I think the only way this creature will come out is if we tricked it from leaving the Everfree." Twilight stated.
"And how should we do that, Darling?" Rarity asked.
"I remember seeing something attached to the thing. Like a bag or something." Rainbow said.
Twilight let out a 'Hmm' then she had some sort of spark in her eyes.
"I got it! But I need your help Rainbow." Said Twilight.
"Um, Ok?" Rainbow said.
The plan was to find where the creature landed and see if the it was awake, if it was, Twilight told Rainbow to try to reel the thing out. When it does, the other five would use their skills to capture the thing. Afterwards, Twilight was going to lock the thing in a cage and report the creature to Celestia. Rainbow was so for it, (So I can show this thing to not mess with Ponyville) and so was everypony else.
~
We arrived at the edge of the Everfree Forest. Even though they went through this forest millions of times, it still looked intimidating to them.
Twilight gave me a nod, telling me to go ahead and find the crash area. When Rainbow did, she didn't see the creature anywhere, but she did see the mark the creature made. it looked like the shape of the creature, but in a odd position. Rainbow finally saw the creature, but it was walking on its hind legs. 'Weird,' she thought. Rainbow saw that the creature was looking around, and it didn't have that bag on it. Rainbow saw that it was hanging on branch. The thing looked at the bag, and then climbed on the tree. Rainbow thought of waiting until the last minute to grab the item.
It took awhile, but the creature was mere inches from the bag. as it started reaching, Rainbow used my quick skills, and took the bag off the branch. She sat on a branch above the thing and was waiting for it to look up. it just looked everywhere except upwards. Rainbow was getting impatient and stared shouting at the creature.
"Hey ape!? Looking for this ?" She shouted.
It finally looked up, having a stunned expression on its face. Rainbow noticed that it had two different colored eyes, one blue and one amethyst. It looked rather cool. But the creature actually spoke back.
"My Bag!" It shouted. It's voice was of a teenage girl, so the creature was a female.
"This thing needs to me 20% cooler. Maybe Rarity can put my cutie mark on it." Rainbow said, making the creature ticked off.
"Don't you dare mess with that bag!" She shouted at her, looking more upset.
"Well you have ta catch me first!" Rainbow shouted, without needing a response, she flew off. But this creature wasn't giving up just yet. She grabbed onto Rainbow's tail. The creature wasn't heavy, but she wasn't light either.
"H-hey! Let go!" Rainbow said slightly nervous.
"Give it back!" She demanded.
"Never!" Rainbow shouted in response.
She kept grasp of Rainbow's tail, ignoring the wind hitting her face. Rainbow saw below them, all five of her friends, looking at them, mouths' agape.
With only one resort, Rainbow shouted 'Get OFF!' and whipped her tail, making the creature let go. Rainbow was pretty high up, as she saw the creature falling and screaming in fright. Rainbow felt that she shouldn't let this happen, Rainbow flew faster than she intended and was inches towards the creatures legs. But the unexpected happened. Out of nowhere, her shoes changed into black holes and fire started coming out of the holes, making everypony gasp, even Rainbow, suddenly making the creature fly. Her eyes were covered, so she didn't see what was happening, but Rainbow could tell it was frightened.
'Whatever this is, it seems that I might have a new flying buddy!'
Chapter 4: "She's a what now?"
~POV 89~
I didn't know what happened, but I didn't hit the ground yet. I was sure that I was a few feet off the ground, but not that far. I still feel the air rushing through my body. I heard six female voices gasp. Then heard a southern accent speak.
"Wut in tarnation! That thang is flyin'!"
At first I thought they were talking about the blue pegasus, but then I remembered the yellow one on the ground. Then a thought came across. 'Is she talking about me?'
I finally opened my eyes, seeing things on my glasses. One Stated my heath rate, the next was altitude and velocity, and the rest went on. I shook my head to make the screens go away, and they did. I fainally looked down and saw six different colored speaks. I started freaking out at how high I was, and also seeing fire coming out of my used-to-be feet. I started moving my legs, and I lost balance.
My legs bent, and I started flying backwards, towards the forest. I didn't know if I was hearing things, but I heard a female voice say 'Don't lose her Rainbow!' and next thing I knew, the same blue pegasus was flying to me, with determination in her eyes.
I turned around and started flying strait. I turned me head to see the pegasus still hot on my tail. I didn't know how, but once I thought of going faster, I got faster, seeing the mare looking shocked, but she wouldn't give up.
"Man your fast!" I heard the pegasus say. "I never seen anything like, or faster than you. But can you stop?!"
"W-where's my bag?" I shouted back.
"Right here!" Then I saw my bag being thrown over me, and into the forest. I made a quick dive for it, catching it in mid-air. Even if I didn't see the pony, I knew she was stunned.
"Well, See ya later then!" I said, boosting my speed and leaving the mare.
~POV 3rd Person~
Rainbow watched as the creature flew off until all she could see was a spec left. Rainbow slowly flew back to her friends, still looking into the direction the creature went.
"Rainbow, where's the thing?" Twilight asked
"It, uh, got away." She half-lied. She could've caught the thing anyways.
"Well ah guess you were right Sugarcube." said Applejack.
"It was a 'human'," Twilight said under her breath.
"Anyways, Twilight. What is a 'human'?" Rainbow asked.
"A human is a creature that was told that they used to live just like us, standing on two legs and towering over Celestia herself. They had the same lifestyle as us, maybe even more intelligent than ours. But Celestia said they were in a huge war, and they died off. And then by evolution, we were created." Twilight explained. "But it makes no sense on how she appeared or how she was able to fly. She said that humans don't have wings or magic."
"W-what should we do to this thing?" Fluttershy asked.
"I don't know, but I do know that we should keep our eyes peeled for her."
"Her?" I asked.
"She has the same body structure as the female human in my books, when you were describing her." Twilight said.
"Well, on another conclusion, she has no taste in fine fashion." said Rarity, making everypony give her a unamused expression. "What? Can't a mare say what's on her mind?"
"I wish she would come back," Pinkie said. Everypony having a confused face.
"Why?" Rainbow asked.
"So I can throw her a 'Welcome to Ponyville', 'First Ever Human' and a 'First Ever Cyborg' Party." Pinkie stated. We were all confused at the last party she said.
"A 'First Ever What-now'?" Rainbow asked.
"A 'First Ever Cyborg' Party, silly!" Said Pinkie. "Since Twilight said humans can't fly, and seeing the turbo boosters being activated, she's a Cyborg, a half-human half-robot creature."
Everypony was stunned at the new information Pinkie gave, making Twilight think about what she said.
"Your right Pinkie." Twilight said. "It makes sense if you put it that way."
"But how did you even know, Darling?" Asked Rarity.
"I didn't know," Pinkie said, making everypony shocked again. "It was just a hunch I was thinking of."
"Okay?" Rainbow said.
"Anyways! She's going to come back tomorrow! I better get ready for the party." Then Pinkie just sped off, preparing for a party that nopony knew about.
'Just Pinkie being Pinkie' Rainbow thought, knowing that everypony was thinking that. 'But will she come back tomorrow?' Rainbow thought, looking at the forest.

Chapter 5: A Night In The Everfree and The Plan
"*Sigh*" 'It's getting boring, flying and all' I thought.
I didn't know how long it has been since that incident with that blue pegasus and the sun was starting to set. I looked down, seeing if maybe their was a cave or abandoned house in the middle of the forest I was flying over. What I spotted was a old castle still standing. 'Score!' I thought smiling.
I dived towards the castle, slowing my speed, and landing softly, making the rockets turn back into my shoes. I looked before me and saw that the castle was bigger than I imagined. The double doors were huge, but one was on the floor inside of the castle. I saw that as I was walking inside, the roof had some gaping holes, letting the wind come through. In front of me were four separate halls, leading to different areas of the castle. I went through one of the hallways, leading me to a library.
I scanned through the room, seeing that their was over nine thousand books in the room, witch made me excited of these new source of information. But before I could start reading a book, the scanning went a bit advance and collected all of the information from the books, making me see all of the things I wanted and didn't. But I knew of the history, language, culture and so on about this planet named Equestria. I also had information that their was a secret area within the library.
I arrived at a long table with six chairs around the table. I went to the right end of the table, and tilted the chair at the end. It was a hidden lever. it opened a secret door made of book shelves'. I went through, seeing spider webs and spiders themselves. I cringed at the foul creature and walked a little faster, seeing the end. I saw that there was a pillow seat, a table, more book shelves', and also saw a simple bed, untouched. I sat on top of it, feeling how soft it was, now face-planting on the pillow at the end, instantly falling asleep.
~
I found myself in a white room, seeing nothing I started walking forward. I didn't notice a tall figure towering over me, watching my every move.
"Hey! Kid?" I heard a British guys voice say.
I responded by turning around, seeing a man taller than me, wearing a cloak that covered his whole body.
"I see that you have returned. So how's the new scenery your in? Seems pretty crappy. I thought you could find a better place. Maybe a grand spanking new plaice, covered in pure white marble. Your favorite color." The Man said.
"W-where am I?" I asked.
"Your in your sub-conscious, young one." The Man answered. "Like you already know, your in the Magical world of Equestria. It seems that your father's portal worked."
"You mean that medal circle was a portal?"
"Yes. If you are wondering, you are indeed a Cyborg. The reason why, I shall not tell you... yet."
"B-but why?"
"Something occurred in your life... Something horrible."
"But why won't you tell me what?"
"I will, just not now. I'll help you with your new life here. But I will only help if you do what I say, agreed?"
I just nodded.
"Now about those, how should I say, 'Ponies', the only way to survive and be accepted into society is to befriend them... Even that annoying blue one."
"A-are you sure?"
"Indeed... But now you must rest. You may be part robot, but your still human."
"Will we meet again?" I asked.
"What do you mean 'meet'? I'm always with you. I'm your robot guide." And before he faded, he pulled down her hood, showing his brown hair and amethyst eyes, giving me a fatherly smile.
~
"*Gasp*" I jumped from the dream.
I saw that I was still in the bed I was in last night. I looked out the window, seeing the sun rise. I stretched, feeling a few joints crack. I didn't realize, but my stomach started growling. 'He was right about me being still human, but what happened that made me this way? I thought.
'Well god morning to you too!' another voice said in my head.
"W-who's that?"
'It's me, remember? Your robot guide.' The voice said.
"Oh! Well, good morning... what should I call you?"
'Just call me Tink.'
"Umm, ok Tink. I'm a little hungry. Where should I go to get some food?"
'Well, like I said, we need to befriend those six ponies first.'
"But I'm hungry!" I said in a childish tone.
'Stop being a baby! One of those six mares own a farm if that helps. I got a plan anyways.'
"What is your plan?"
I was listening to Tink's plan, and it sounded pretty good. He told me that a orange earth mare owns an apple farm, teling me to fly the opposite direction I was going. After awhile I saw a whole orchard of apple trees, making me drool at how fresh they looked. I didn't care if they weren't washed first, I wanted one. Then I thought of something.
"Hey Tink?"
'Yes~?'
"If I'm a Cyborg, then doesn't that mean that I can't eat or drink?" I asked.
'Yes, you are a Cyborg, but the human parts are also there. You can eat, drink, and also feel emotions.'
"Oh."
'Anyways, watch were your flying!'
"Woah!" It seemed that I was getting too low while talking to Tink and dodged a nearby tree.
'Just focus on your flying.' Tink said in a unamused tone.
"Hehe, sorry."
After flying over thousands of apple trees, Tink told me to land at a small open field near the farmhouse. She told me to make some noise, like crashing noises. Thanks to me being part robot, I could change my voice and make sound effects, making the crashing sound. I saw the orange mare from yesterday come out with a wooden bat in her teeth. Tink told me to make myself into a position that looked like I was unconscious under the tree I was behind. Before I did, I made myself look like I was injured. I then hit the tree with my head, making a few apples fall out of the tree. I closed my eyes, hearing the hoofsteps getting closer. Even though I didn't see, I could tell that she jumped at the sight of me.
"What in tarnation? Ain't that the thing that ah saw yesterday?"
She then poked me, while I was trying hard not to flinch or jump.
"Seems like the thang is out like a light. Hmm... Maybe ah could bring it inside and... No, no Applejack! This is the creature that could destroy Equestria."
I heard the hoofsteps starting to sound faint, then they sounded louder again. I felt a pair of teeth grabbing onto my hoodie sleeves, then I felt myself being lift up and carried to the farmhouse. And I thought I heard the mare say 'Applejack, wut have you gotten yerself into?'
~POV Third Person~
Applejack was waking up by the rooster making his morning call. She felt that she could take on all of Equestria. 'Ah musta had a reastful sleep.' she thought. She got out of my bed and did her morning routine. Wake up, brush teeth, wake Apple Bloom, and get breakfast started with Granny Smith. She was on her way to Apple Bloom's room, when she heard a cashing sound from outside. Big Mac told her to check it out, letting him wake up Apple Bloom. But before she stepped outside, she grabbed a wooden bat, for defending herself from whatever made that noise.
Applejack walked outside, seeing nothing out of the ordinary. She was just about to go back inside when she heard a *Thump!* and saw a few apples fall out of the tree in the corner of her eye. She started walking slowly, thinking of getting the thing by surprise. But when she went behind the tree, Applejack saw that it was the thing from yesterday, making her jump.
"What in tarnation? Ain't that the thing the ah saw yesterday?" she asked to herself.
Applejack poked the thing to see if it was alive or awake, it didn't move but she felt a heart beat.
"Seems like the thang is out like a light. Hmm... Maybe ah could bring it inside and... No, no Applejack! This is the creature that could destroy Equestria."
Applejack started walking away, forgetting about the idea. But for some reason, she couldn't just ignore the thing. Making her feel guilty. Without another option, Applejack walked up to the unconscious creature, and grabbed onto it's sleeve, dragging it out from under the tree, then getting under the thing and lifting the creature. It was really light for some reason, but she just ignored, thinking cause of my strength.
"Applejack, wut have you gotten yerself into?" I said under my breath.
"*Sigh*"
'It has been at least three days since that day. Why can't I stop thinking about it? It's so boring here!' I thought to myself. I was floating in an endless sea of darkness, alone. Sometimes I question if I'm still living, or how I'm still alive. 'If I am, that is.'
Even if I was to get out, what will I even do? For all I know, as I set foot on whatever place I get to, I could be killed right on the spot. But really, all I wanted was to get out. It's dark, cold, and lonely in this void. I can't remember anything except that incident in that room. 'Those people, that medal circle, the bodies...'
Now I really don't care where I end up, I just wanna get out of here! I don't even care if the world had talking rocks! I just wanna GET OUT!
I started screaming at nothing, really. I shook my head in frustration, seeing the brown hair flow in the sudden movement. I readjusted my glasses on my face.
Those were the only things I could see other than the endless void. I sighed again.
I looked at the bag on me, I really don't remember why I have this & what's inside, I started rummaging in it, seeing it empty, I sighed once more in defeat.
"I'm such a loner..." I said out loud. I was thinking of falling asleep again until I saw something off the distance. 'What is it?' I thought.
I squinted my eyes to get a clearer look, I saw I white dot. It was as small as a period on the end of a sentience. I then felt a tug at my body, and the dot got slightly bigger. I continued being pushed by a strange force. Having no other choice, and nothing to really grab, I just let the force pull me in.
As I got closer and closer, the dot became bigger and bigger after every push. By the time I realized it might be a way out, the dot me came bigger than me. 'I'm not sure if I should be happy or scared right now...' I thought.
When I made contact with the giant dot, I felt a shock in my body, like touching a door knob after a cold winter day outside. It felt super weird. The dot gave a huge wave of light & I had to close my eyes by the brightness. Another shocking feeling swept over me again, now it felt like accidentally putting something into a plug & feeling the vibrating wave of electricity.
Then the light from the dot got so bright, I flinched, pulling up my arm to shield my eyes, touching my glasses as well. This time the shock wave felt like I just got hit by lightning, but just the feeling, no pain.
Next thing I knew, I was feeling a huge gust of wind come over me, I slowly opened my eyes & saw my fate.
I was Falling!
