I wasn't bucking crazy. The proof was right there, the descriptions on humans in these textbooks were too real. The way I sit is how they sit, how could nopony believe me then? Even Bon Bon, my best friend/roommate didn't believe me. I knew they're real, and nopony was going to convince me otherwise. I was even about to give up... Then I found him. And this is where our story begins... One morning...
"Lyra! Wake up!". Hello my name is Lyra Heartstrings. I'm a unicorn living in the quiet town of Ponyville. The pony who is waking me up is my life long friend and roommate Bon Bon.
"Bon Bon! Just a couple more minutes please?". Today was a normal day, I got up got dressed in my usual black jeans, white shirt, and a black tie.
"Seriously Lyra, when are you gonna stop wearing that? Ponies don't need clothes every day, that would be ridiculous.".
"Bonnie, humans where clothes every single day of the year, it's not weird. Public nudity is a pubic offense to them.".
"Lyra don't call me Bonnie.". Haha! Annoyance achieved.
"So Bon Bon, what are you going to do today?".
"I'm just gotta go pick up some supplies for Pinkie Pies, congrats on being an alicorn now, party for Twilight.".
"I think Pinkie needs to come up with better names for her party's.". Bon Bon got up and headed for the door.
"I see you later Lyra, and don't forget to practice for the Gala next week ok?". Two months ago Octavia told me that se had gotten me of all ponies in a spot for the band that plays at the Gala. Whoopee... It's gonna be a snore fest of epic proportions for Celestia's sake! Just because Octavia is my friend, that's why I'm going. On another note, what should I do today? I'm bored, and it's only been five minutes. Then a thought stuck me, I could go for a walk in the Everfree. On the safe path of course, towards Zecora's, I have talked to her in a while. As I head for the door, I can't feel stop feeling I'm forgetting something... Oh I know my Lyre! I grab my lyre and head for the forest.
The human's point of view
Three. Straight. Fricken. Days. I've been in this hell of a forest for three days. I've killed 12 of those wood wolves, a f****** manticore for somehow, and some of these insect horse things! How I got here I have no idea, but shit! This place is gonna kill me. The only sign of life I've seen is a zebra, ya you heard me... But get this, it talks! Ya... It fricken talks, but nonononnonono, I'm selling it too short. Get this, it only talks in rhymes! Motherf****** rhymes at the times. I've been eating fish I catch in a nearby river, which has a serpent living in it, when I said I caught it, I lied. The serpent is kind enough to give me he fish, he's not all bad, but his rants about his mustache are getting on my nerves!
As I walk towards my camp, I hear the faint sounds of clip clop throughout the forest. Oh god, it's another one of the insect horses, in the three days I've been here, my only weapon I have is a fire axe. Don't question the logic, there's no logic to question anyways.
As the noise gets closer I can better hear the sounds, this one sounds different. It's louder and more, calm like some one taking a stroll. After a few more clops I start to hear the insect talk, but where is it? It's voice sound feminine but it has a freaky snake hiss, deep, and creepy voice combo.
"Whatever this creature is, I will dispose of it myself if I have to.". This one must be Important, she can take it up with my axe of smite! That what I'm calling it, pretty cool eh? Right then I hear a rustling in then bushes behind me. As I turn around I come face to face with the one that wants me dead.
"Ah! Look who we have here! The creature who has been killing my scouts, tell me, did you ever think you could hide for me? Queen Chrysalis!". I pick up my axe and get into a fighting position.
"I don't give a crap who you are, I'm gonna kill you like the rest. I'll probably take your horn and use it as a knife.". She let out a low growl, ooooo scary!
"You dare mock me, I am going to kill you and wear you as a coat!".
"And I'm gonna kill you and show your corpse to the rest of your kind.". That did it, she leaped straight for me. I lifted up my axe and swung it side ways.
"Ahh!". As the axe made contact it shot her toward a tree.
"You pest! I'm going eat your flesh!". Her horn started to glow, then a ball started to form.
"I'd like to see you magic trick, but I gotta run. See later insect!". I turn to run but I'm stopped by the ball that she had formed. She shot me in the back.
"Gee wiz lady! Shooting me in the back? Shame shame.".
"DIE!I was shot forward where I then started to feel the darkness that is the void of unconsciousness. This is it, killed by a giant insect horse, how wonderful. I always thought I would die by one of the gangs that was after me in the city, but I guess this is cool.
Queen Chrysalis/Crystal/Buggy
The human's point of view
Dark, no light, wait yes light, green light. Pulsing light, my body aches. I can't feel my left arm, where am I? I'm dead aren't i, shit! No I'm still here, wherever here is anyway. My left arm is numb, can't feel shit. What am I in, it looks like a cocoon, GAH! A sharp pain entered my left arm. I feel around for something, I can't even see much, it's all such a blur. My right hand reaches foreword to touch the cocoon wall.
"Well well well, the pest rises.". I know that voice.
"Says the over grown insect Queen.". Yep now I definitely know I'm not dead.
"How dare you speak to your Queen this way!". Wow, she is an idiot. Whatever, I can get outta here pretty quickly with the... Son of a bitch! The bitch stole my axe! Fricken... What ever, at least she was stupid enough not to search me... I hope. When I mentioned I would take her horn, I only wanted a better one then the one I had.
"Please just leave me so I can die in peace". She then started to laugh.
"I find you amusing pest, I believe you can charm your way into any situation.".
"Oh crystal, your so flattering. So you want me to stop everyone using pesticides or something.". Another low growl was heard through my cocoon.
"You shall address your Queen as, Queen Crystal... Wait NO! UGH! Whatever, you will learn respect when you are apart of the hive mind. You see the cocoon you're in?". I don't like where this is going.
"I can't really see shit, it's all blurry, are you going the hypnotize me or somethin?". Another laugh rang through the cocoon. It's starting to hurt my ears.
"Gee wiz lady, you had to make this thing echo didn't you?". Once again a annoyingly loud laugh 'twas heard. I don't know why I said it like that.
"It looks like your eyes and ears are adjusting to the improved senses, they won't change form until later though.".
"What are talking about buggy.". She start to cackle but I quickly cut her off.
"Stop monologuing and give it to me straight Buggy.". I swear, if she laughs, growls, or does any other annoying evil thing, I'm going to break outta here earlier than I had planned.
"Oh fine, but first I must go feed. Your killing spree left me without any scouts to watch over you. See you after your transformation pest.".
"Ok see you later Buggy". Now is my chance, I gonna kill her soon but, I need my axe. I have one one the insects horns in my left sleeve, gives a whole new meaning to that meme, is it even a meme? Well whatever I can figure that out later... I just gotta rebch for my left ar-. As I reached for my sleeve I feel that something is off, way off. This... This isn't my arm, it's too rough, and smooth. I look over as see... Well I don't know what it is, but it's attached to me, where my arm used to be. It's a... Hoof. An insect hoof.
A few minutes of confusing and horrid cursing lataa!
Ok analyze, Queen dumbass said something about this cocoon, and a transformation. It's this cocoon isn't it? Well what ever I was gonna breakout of hear anyways. I reach up my left sleeve, shuddering at the new feel of the new arm... Hoof... Foreleg? Yep, Queen Crystal did forget to check me, idiot. The walls of my cocoon give to the sharp horn and I fall about five feet.
"Gah-". I instantly shut my self up as I here the hoof steps of a certain Bug. I look around for somewhere to hide, in the corner I see my axe... What an idiot! At least make this a little bit challenging. As I go for my axe I see a hole that is just my size.
"The creature has escaped!!!! To arms changelings, we must find it and kill it!". Right then the noise of a million insect wings, and let me tell you something bub! When you get improved hearing, this noise sucks! As the excitement dies down I decide it might be time to get the heck outta dodge. I crawl out of my hidey hole and look at my surroundings with... My Improved sight? Holy mother of macadamias! I think I can get used to this sight thing. I'm in well I giant hive, that's so cliché for a Bug Queen.
"You pest!". I don't eve have time time to turn around when I get blasted forward. I struggle back up, fricken SOB! How many more times is she gonna do that! Ok whatever, GEEZ IT HURTS, ok let's do this!
"Welcome back Buggy, now let's not monologue and let's fight already. Also, make this little more challenging will ya?". She then shouted something I couldn't understand. I hear some buzzing behind me, as I turn around I see about ten of the Insects. Flying towards me... Shitty guards. I start to run towards Chrysalis. As I get closer I notice another ball is starting to form, I think it's time to test the strength of my new... (Shiver)... Hoof. I swing it toward her face as hard as I can. Holy shit! As I make contact she f****** goes flyin!
"Take that biotch! I gotta say... I can't completely hate you for this. Well let's make a deal, I won't kill you if, you turn me back and get me outta the hive and the forest.". I listen for a response but I hear none, no remark to death, evil laugh, not even a growl. I turn around to see that the... Scouts as she called them, on the ground wailing in pain. What's going on?
"Umm Crystal? You ok?". I hear a moan of agony in the corner. I go over and see Buggy sprawled out on the floor. Holy ssshhhiiitt! She has a crack going through the whole side of her head where I struck her my the hoof. Tears are coming out of her eyes like you wouldn't believe. It almost makes me forgive her for turning me into an insectiod... NOT.
"I'm disappointed Buggy, thought you were an all powerful Queen? You gonna let a human with a fire axe and an insect arm stop you?".
"Please, stop... Just leave u u us.".
"Leave! Leave! You want me to leave after you turned me into a freak, left me in a cocoon, and attacked me twice!".
"Please, we h h have no m m more (huff) b b business with you. Just... Go.". I can't believe it, she thinks? What? F***!
"Show me out of the hive, and the forest, then I'll leave you alone".
"O o o ok". She struggles to get up and fall back down.
"P p please, c can you help me up.".
"Umm ok? How do I help you up when you need four hooves to walk.". She reaches her hoof up to me and motions me to grab it, I hesitantly grab it. She then stands up using my hand as balance.
"I'm ok now you may (huff) release my hoof.". I let go and she stumbles forward catching herself before she falls.
"Th th this way.". She lowers her horn, her horn starts to glow an dark shade of green as the wall spreads apart, unveiling a hill downwards, I'd hate to fall down that.
"I hate to admit it Crystal, but that was pretty cool.". She motions me to come over, as I'm walking forward I see the faint glow that surrounds her horn get brighter. She still thinks she has a chance, I think I have an idea that might stop her.
"That's it Buggy I want that horn!". I run towards her, put the axe as high as it can go... AND WITH THE STRENGTH OF A THOUSAND MOONS... I swing at her horn.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!". The axe goes swiftly through her horn, it's laying on the floor right next the me... I grab it and shove in my pocket... but I'm pushed down the hill by one of the scouts that somehow had the strength to get up and shove me.
"F YYYYYYOOOOOOOUUUUUUU!!!!". As I'm rolling down the steep hill I hit about 4 thorn bushes, 1 tree, and 1 flower bush. As I hit the ground I can't move, my axe is still In my hand, and... Holyshitthishurtsso****much!
"Someone, please help... Help me".
Lyra's point of view.
"So Zecora, anything interesting happen to you lately?" After I got to Zecora's we had tea, talked, you now the norm.
"Well, you see I've been getting the feeling somepony has been watching me. The past two days have been weirder than before, what can I say, the Everfree has never been a bore.".
"What do mean Zecora.".
Zecora's flashback (she's gonna talk normal)
It was a long day of potion making, I had a potion recipe that controlled poison jokes magical properties. I know a big field of PJ just near where the nice serpent lives. I had just gotten a few hoofs away from my hut when I heard a crash over by a near timber wolf den. It was strange but not as strange as yesterday. Ok I was walking along the path to the old castle, it's was a quiet day so far and I want to go read in the castle archives. On the way there I heard the loud roar of the ferocious manticore. It seemed to be in pain, and when I went to see, it was dead with obvious marks of struggle, it was missing its head, but what under Ceslestia's sun will take on a manticore!? Then today I heard fighting deep in the Everfree, but when I went to see what the fight was about all I found was red and green ooze. The green ooze was Changling blood but the red ooze I couldn't even use in any potion I tried. It was like nothing I've ever seen. And when I tried to use it in a potion it always turn the red color of the blood. Then it would explode.
Third pony.
The way Zecora described the past two days had fascinated Lyra. Humans had red blood, and in all the old history books it said that their blood couldn't be used in any potion at all. Lyra didn't want to waste any time investigating the anomalies.
"Oh! Will you look at the time! Um before I go can you show me where the red liquid was?". Zecora flashed a questioning eyebrow towards Lyra.
"Ok my friend, I'm sorry out chat had to end.". Both ponies walked out of the hut towards the battle grounds. When they reached the area Lyra said goodbye to her friend and started to look around. It wasn't long until she found a path of blood and started to follow the trail. After a few spooks the trail came to a halt, frustrated on losing her only lead Lyra,was,just about to give up when she heard a pained whisper.
"Someone, please help... help me.". Lyra's intrigue was instantly turned into complete horror knowing that there is injured pony out in this dangerous forest.
Human memories.
I've had a rough life, I was sent to New York when I 13. My dad said it would toughen me up, the only thing it did was get me almost killed. They sent me to a friend of theirs that ran a hotel near Central Park, I had to work as a bellhop, janitor, room service, and that guy who presses the elevator button for you. All these jobs got me by and it was nice, the people were nice and the family housing me was nice, but everything fell apart one day. I had finished my work for the day and I wanted to go for a walk in Central Park. I had gained their trust and was given a cell phone just in case I got lost in the big city. It wasn't hard getting over to the park, I just had to take a bus. When I had arrived I could smell the grass and see all the people relaxing on the benches watch people go by. I started walking around chatting with strangers about stuff I didn't care about, petting random dogs, and just enjoying myself. I got a bucks singing... Shut up I have a beautiful voice. But I remember this would all go to hell soon.
Humans point of view.
I was being poked by something it and with the bruises all over my body it hurt really bad but I didn't have the strength to stop what ever or whoever it was. This continued for a few minutes, I then felt like like being floated off the ground, this is it isn't it? I'm dead, all because I got transported to a f****** hell forest by some unknown force that apparently wanted me dead. Then I got a motherf****** insect arm by a talking bug queen. Why did it have to end like this? Why did it have end so quickly? Why did my life have to suck then suck even more? What happened to happy endings? How did it come to this? I feel a breeze rush me me like I'm flying fast, I hear the sound of hooves galloping on soft dirt, and the rise and fall of my chest. I'm... Still alive. I reach out with my hand with my eyes closed and feel the insect hoof, some liquid is coming out, my guess is blood. I can't feel anything else but my right arm, I can't move or open my eye lids but I'm still alive. Breathing, something wants me alive. I start to feel the wave of fatigue over my body, just moving my arm takes a lot of work. I relax as I slip into sleep. I don't know if I'll wake up or not.
