what is going on

“don’t take too many anon” I waved her off not really caring. I was currently reading about there history apparently this celestia was a princess not a god but damn near one she banished her sister because she was butt hurt about not getting attention. Then some other stuff happened. I moved on to a book about magic, when spike said I was a unicorn I got very happy. But when I wanted to learn basic levitation there was a very long list of bullcrap. I skipped that and just imagined the book was floating and it worked.

I looked over to twilight and realized something, this library was so unorganized so before she could stop me I focused on all the books at once and levitated them out of there shelves, then I organized them according to the dewy decimal system.

“wow anon this system is great where did you learn it?”

“I already know you don’t believe me so why should I repeat myself?”

“oh” awkward silence.

“well back to reading”.

“yep”.

After a while I got kind of bored so I began to explore the library and it was huge. It had a full kitchen a guest bedroom a master bedroom and TWO basements.

“I went down into the first one which was filled with really cartoonish devices. And in the second I found all kinds of old relics, a marble pillar, a strange looking device and, a cello. When I saw the thing I was kind of sad it was in such a state of disrepair all the strings were ruined and a massive hole in the middle of it effectively making it into junk. I wasn’t the best cello player but it was the only thing I really enjoyed. I reached my hoof out and felt it, the old wood was neglected and it seemed to cry at my touch. It was like I could feel the instrument. Then it glowed, not good not good at all.

“”hey twilight im gonna need some help here!” I said a bit panicked I heard her say something to spike.

He came down the stairs “so what does the little col- SWEET CELESTIA TWILIGHT GET DOWN HERE!” she ran down the stairs and stared at the cello.

“anon what did you do?!”

“I touched it”

“is that it?”

“yes!”

“ok calm down im sure nothing bad is going to happen”

“oh merciful god twilight do you realize what you just said!”

“what do you me- oh no.” yeah she got it.

The glowing was getting brighter and the old instrument was now gone leaving a ball of white light. It seemed to stretch and morph until it became a pony no a unicorn with wings made of light. It looked into my eyes, no it stared into my very soul I could feel it looking through my memories.

“you have had a strange life dear anon” it spoke in a motherly voice.

“w-what this isn’t possible” I barely said.

“are you really questioning what’s possible, when you woke up you were a pony.”

“this is crazy!” I heard spike yell behind me.

“are you ready to become the bearer of my power.”

“n-no im not!”

“to bad human I am yours now and that’s final” the spirit warped turning into a large blob of energy then it formed back into a cello. What stood before me was a magnificent instrument. It was black with streaks of white in random places. Upon further inspection I saw a box lying neatly in front of it when I opened it two bows and some rosin.

“well I’m gonna have to examine this instrument to make sure it isn’t dangerous is that ok anon?”

“go ahead but as you just saw this cello has a spirit so I would leave it alone if I were you.”

“oh what could possibly go wrong its just a piece of wood with an illusion charm.” she attempted to pick it up with her magic and a whip of white energy lashed out at her.

“told you so twilight.”

“that not possible a cello cant be magical!?”

“stop trying rationalize it” I said. I walked over to it and a case began to form around her I guess. When It was done I levitated the case onto my back.

“holy crap these things are way heavy than I remember!” spike snorted. “hey screw off its not like I was born in this body”

“ssuuuuurrrrrrrrreeeeee and twilights an alicorn”

“sorry don’t know what those are so your argument is invalid.” after that I found out that I was going to school.

“im sorry anon but if you can walk you can learn that’s final” yeah well fuck you too.

Well after another hour it was “time for bed” its only eight o’clock I said.

“a young colt needs to go to bed early so he can learn the next day” she said.

As I went into the guest bathroom I saw what I looked like, I had silver coat and a marble white mane, my iris‘s were also black; why the hell am I an ipod?

“if you want I can help you fit in.”

“holy crap don’t sneak up on me!”

“apologies but I could give you what ponies call a cutie mark it’s a symbol representing a ponies special talent and destiny.”

“so you want to give me a tattoo that essentially chooses my life?”

“I didn’t mean it like that its just that some ponies shun others without there mark.”

“like I care ill gladly take it but I sure as heck don’t want it to be normal.”

And like that she seeped into my coat, a large glowing white blob on both my flanks appeared.

“what does it mean?”

“think of it as a symbol for your people, you can do anything and be exceptional at it.”

“wait so you believe me when?”

“yes I do very much because my previous wielder was a human trapped here, he was a great unicorn and was killed away by celestia.”

“so is she really powerful.”

“yes but not as powerful as the ponies proclaim, she can rotate equis but its in a heliocentric orbit.”

“good to know”

“but Luna, her sister has true power, she controls all of the stars in the night sky.”

“that is awesome!”

“also that mark can be used for two things, you can summon me as a cello and create limbs of light that extend from your cutie mark and surroundings, so you will never be without your hands.”

“that is going to come In handy, pun intended.” she let out a small laugh. “but as purple smart down there said I need to go to bed.

I brushed my teeth which was easier with the magic and then I awkwardly used the bathroom. When all was said and done I got into the bed and finally drifted off to sleep.

You cant beat dreams can you when I entered the false reality I was greeted with a bustling city filled with humans. I was also human again I walked down to concrete streets and stared in wonder at all the things I might never have again. It was going great then a midnight blue unicorn with wings descending from the sky

“what is this place young child?”

“this is the world of the humans, my people; I hate to say it but I’ve been thrown Into this world without consent.”

“well that’s not the craziest story I’ve ever heard but its up there”

“and why is it crazy?”

“because humans don’t exist, but this dream you created has such detail you must be very intelligent .”

“I’m not that smart its detailed because this is what I grew up with.” and then in the distance a mushroom cloud ascending into the sky and the normally blue sky turned a bloody red.

“your dream seems to be turning into a nightmare I will remedy this.”

“wait I want you to see what happens.”

“tis  my duty to banish nightmares from the dreams of my subjects.”

“just wait this is the true power of humanity.” and the shockwave hit us, it didn’t really hit us but everything around us crumbled and burned I looked at the blue mare

“this is horrible why would you want to see this?!”

“I don’t want to see it but that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t, its important to see this because it was the future of my people if I wasn’t killed by my mother then I would suffer the same fate as all of them.”

“well it’s a good thing you’re here then.”

“indeed, I guess death gave me a second chance.” then the dream ended.

“hey anon wake up its time to go to school.” I mumbled.

“ok ill be down there in a moment.” I said. I took a quick shower as awkwardly as using the bathroom. When I made my way into the kitchen twilight let out a surprised gasp.

“anon you got your cutie mark, that’s great now we can have a cutseniara for you!”

“what’s that?

“its like a right of passage anytime a foal gets their cutie mark a party is held.”

“well lets not do one I hate parties”

“ok but what does it mean and why is it glowing?”

“it symbolizes the fact that humans can do anything” as I said this the blob morphed into many things then back to its original shape.

“it moved!”

“yes because it has no set shape it is what I want it to be, as for the glowing it looks cool.”

She just stared with a shocked expression “W- well spike finished cooking so lets eat.”

Spike passed the plates around. “thank you spike it looks great.”

I could see him grinding his teeth so I decided to stop talking and eat.

After breakfast twilight placed a saddle bag on me filled with paper and pencils. We left the library and I walked alongside twilight. I began to hum still alive from portal. Twilight humid with me not knowing the morbid story behind it.

When we arrived at the school the first thing I thought was little girls cartoon but to be fair that was the entire world right now, a cartoon.

The pony standing there was a light magenta with a pink mane smiling at all the kids entering. When we got there she said

“why hello there you must be the new colt in town?”

“yes I am call me anon please” I said as I held out a hoof, she gave it a light shake.

“goodbye twilight”

“goodbye anon” I heard her say behind me “be careful were still not sure about him.” she didn’t even whisper.

I continued to the first empty desk I saw and sat in it, or on it these things are tall. I noticed I was being watched I looked an all the other students were staring at me, some deciding if I could be there friend or there enemy, when I looked forward I got a face full of yellow.

“hey ahm apple bloom what’s yer name?” she held out a hoof.

“my name is anon”

“strange name buts if that’s yer name I ain’t gonna judge you” I nodded in response.

Cheerilee walked in and all they turned towards her “ok students its time for class but before we get started we have a new student.” she gestured toward me. “come up here and introduce yourself anon.” I hate you Cheerilee.

I got up from my desk and walked up to the podium, a spoiled looking pink filly stared at me like a jock would a nerd, oh fuck that cant be good. “hello my name is anon it’s a pleasure to meet you, any questions?” two hooves shot into the air.

I pointed to the yello- apple bloom and said “ok you first then her ok”

“what does your cutie mark mean?”

“apple bloom don’t ask questions like that if he wants to tell you he will.”

“no no its ok a really good question actually and I will show you in a moment, your turn” I pointed to the pink filly from earlier.

“so you’re the new freak in town I bet your cutie is something lame isn’t it?”

“the mark I choose is what I want it to be, I am good at anything I choose.”

“so you don’t really have a cutie mark”

“yes an no, it will change as I see fit and It will never be static”

“but yer cutie mark defines your whole life why wouldn’t you want one that stays the same forever?”

“because these cutie marks tell you your destiny I refuse to have one because I am going to create my own path regardless of some mark on my flank, now apple bloom its time I showed you what I can do.” I got out from behind the podium and stood in front of the class, I focused on the mark and it began to glow soon streams of white came off of it and it was gone entirely, the energy flowed around me.

“so you have fancy unicorn magic no big deal” a grey filly like the pink one said.

Then the cello appeared in front of me and I stood up behind it so they couldn’t see my unmentionables. And then to my surprise three ghostly versions of me appeared beside me two held violins and one held a viola. I began to play.

When it was over they all just sat there in pure shock.

“and that fillies and gentle colts is why I can do nearly anything.” I made my way back to the desk and sat down ready to learn but that was not the case every eye in the room was on me in pure shock. I later learned that the orb had changed into a cello and back.

“C-can you play again?” a skinny grey colt asked me.

Its to early for this crap “maybe after school but I came here to learn not entertain.”

“anon is right its time to start class.”

After about an hour of class Cheerilee said “alright class its time for a thirty minute break, anon wait here I need to speak with you”

Fuck what did I do “yes ms. Cheerilee.” I said

After all the other kids left she said to me “anon what you said today was disturbing to me no dought the other students please be careful when you speak.”

“sorry but that was careful there is not and there never will be anything that will on the planet that will tell me how to live my life.”

“I understand but those fillies and colts cant understand that they have been taught to follow what their cuti mark tells them.”

“I understand.” I said as I walked out of the door. When I got outside the air was as fresh as ever and all the kids were watching  me. “do you need something?” they shook their heads “ok then get back to whatever it was you were doing.”

I walked over to a bench and sat down looking at the sky wondering what was happening back home, was the crisis averted or was everyone dead. My thoughts were interrupted by a pink filly

“hey freak what are you doing over here alone, were are you friends?” why hello miss down syndrome “oh wait you dont have any!” she continued to laugh. Three other fillies began to walk over here with angry glares at the pink one.

I was not getting help from them. “no I don’t have any because I just got here, how stupid can you be?” I looked back at the sky hoping she would walk away.

“don’t look away from me I’m diamond tiara and I command your respect!”

Looking at the sky still I said “no, you demand my attention.” then she caught me off guard sending a quick punch knocking me off the bench

“respect me or ill do worse.” all the other kids gathered around, keeping the three other ones behind a ring of ignorance. I stood up and thought about those arms the spirit told me about. So I concentrated on my horn and two limbs made of light appeared out of my flanks each ending with a hand with very pointy digits.

“w- what are those.?!”

“hands, more precisely arms ending with hands that make a great weapon.” I said and propelled the right arm straight into her snout sending her flying through the ring of ponies.

“y- you a colt you supposed to be passive you not aloud to be aggressive!” she said though a broken nose.

“yeah well what seems normal about me?”

“you’re a monster!”

I began to laugh again which had been happening a lot lately. “no sorry but no I am a creature stuck in a body that I despise.” I picked diamond up and threw her across the playground. “I am a human being, my people are the Armageddon bringers; we are death!” I was going to punch her again but the grey filly stood in my way.

“I wont let you hurt her anymore!” I stared at her blankly

“you do realize these arms move in three dimensions right?” I asked and sent both arms around her punching the pink filly again. I picked her up and before I could do anything I heard Cheerilee scream.

“STOP IT ANON!”

I looked towards her and back to the struggling filly and dropped her. I walked over the Cheerilee and said.

“yes ms. Cheerilee?” like I hadn’t done anything wrong.

“get inside now!”

“ok” I said. When I got inside I sat in the desk I did when I first got here.

A few minutes later twilight and Cheerilee walked in and twilight said “anon how could your do such a thing your just a colt!?”

“what does me being a colt have to do with anything.” they looked like they didn’t understand then realized.

“anon here mares are the more prominent gender, in other places its stallions.” you could see the look of dread on my face a mile away.

“well then that’s not really a problem but the fact that gender superiority is a thing is a load of crap!”

“laung-” she was cut off by a blood curdling scream from outside. The three of ran outside and what we found nearly made me shit myself’ a giant wolf made of fff-bucking, why cant I curse anymore. Anyway his wood “teeth” dripping with blood already. On the ground a half eaten diamond tiara lay near death.

“whelp were boned” I said as happy as possible everyone glared at me “what? We are I mean that thing is huge and basically killed diamond over there, its kinda obvious were going to die but whatever.”

“how could you be so happy in the face of something so terrible!?” twilight practically yelled at me.

“deal with it.” I began to think on how to kill this huge bastard and the first thing o thought of was fire.

“hey spirit” I said out loud.

She also spoke so twilight could here her. “yes anon?”

“can you light any arms I create on fire?”

“sorry no”

Crap well option two’ brute force. “how large of an arm can I create?”

“large enough to fight this thing” she said back

“good ok pansies stand back I’m gonna kill the freak!” they all winced at the language and some laughed but stopped as a large amount of white energy seeped out of me and the ground around me. Seconds later a very, very large arm extended out of the ground.

“how did you do that?” twilight muttered.

And as the age old saying goes “buck you that’s how”. with that I sent the arm forward Into the wolf who had ample time to kill everyone but decided to wait. I knocked it back a few meters but that was it. It grabbed the arm and tried to wrestle with it.

He failed and tried to pounce on it but missed and crushed the school sending most of the kids running In the opposite direction. Cheerilee went after them to make sure they were ok but twilight stayed with me.

“so anon whats the plan?” I let out a chuckle “im being serious we need a plan to beat this thing!”

“fine here is the plan you burn it ill punch the crap out of it.”

“is that the best you can do!?”

“well the arms I summon cant be lit on fire so you burn it!”

He started getting back up from the wreckage of the school and began to think about his approach. He circled us for a while and then he pounce again.

“NOW TWILIGHT!” I yelled and twilight shot a burst of fire from her horn and I punched him right in the gut sending him into the air on fire. After a few minutes of this process twilight was running out of energy and I was getting bored.

“HEY STICK MONSTER GET THE BUCK OUT OF PONYVILLE!” I face palmed wait no face hooved. I looked towards the noise and saw a rainbow and orange, pink, yellow and a white mare. All running towards the now gasping twilight.

“ah didn’t know yah could do that.”

“I cant anon over there is doing that” there jaws dropped.

“you mean that kid sent that HUGE timber wolf into the stratosphere, no way!”

“yes way I did now if you not going to fight get twilight out of here.” I glared at them while keeping the wolf at bay.

“listen kid I’m the awso” I sent a small arm at her and slapped her across the face.

“one child has died today lets make sure she’s the only one!”

“w-who was it?” her voice trembled.

“it was diamond tiara now fight I don’t have time for your crap!” I yelled at her.

They finally got in gear and began to fight the beast in there own way but the yellow one stayed behind

“what are you still doing here.”

“w-well I came to get you and twilight.”

“sorry not happening your friends will die without help.”

“but you’re a colt you cant fight the big mean monster”

I looked away from her  and said “just watch me” and brought my attention back to the creature that twilight scorched. I needed to think of a way to end this. And then the white one was knocked by the wolf and landed in front on me.

“are you ok?”

“I- I’ll be fine I just need to rest.” then she fainted.

“hey you back there the white unicorn needs help!”

“oh no rarity who did this to you!?” she came back from unconsciousness and pointed at the wolf

“how dare he do that!” she screamed and took flight moving at impossible speed then stopping in front of the bastard and stared him down. “HOW DARE YOU HURT MY FRIENDS OR ANYPONY FOR THAT MATTER!” he didn’t react. “YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO GO AROUND HURTING INNOCENT PONIES!!” still no reacti= no wait he just slapped her out of the sky ok well that’s over lets kill the dang thing.

I retracted the arm and brought it low to the ground coiling around me and rarity. The wolf saw its chance and knocked the other fighters away and ran for me. As it got closer I pictured the moon above me and the wolf in the way; my goal was the moon not the wolf. When he pounced above me I launched the arm into his gut sending him into the sky and beyond.

Once I felt the arm suddenly stop I let it fade from existence. Then the world faded to black as I fell down.
