This is what I get for doing something crazy...No worries! I got dis!
Chapter 1: Meeting the locals
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI suddenly wake up to find my self still clinging to the ArachDrone with my Steam Cutlass when I notice there is an odd amount of rushing air and I feel almost weightless. I look down to see that I’m actually falling with the Drone in the sky in the middle of nowhere. I start to panic a bit and look around frantically when I started to notice that the ground was very green, which is strange because I was in a city not a rural area. The Drone appeared to be noticing it was falling too, and then it noticed me. It started to aim an energy blaster at me but kept looking towards the ground.
I looked at the ground again and saw what appeared to be small buildings. I knew I was running out of time so I was thinking of a way I wouldn’t end up as mush because I like being a fully functional human being, thanks. The ground was getting closer and I still didn’t have ideas on how to save my self. The Drone was stabilizing itself as if to land on it’s legs instead of it’s body. I looked down again and everything suddenly seemed familiar. I decided to stay on top of the ArachDrone for the rest of the trip down to the ground because my only idea was to jump up at the perfect time so when I would jump up the Drone would hit the ground and I would land on the Drone with less force than the Drone hit the ground with, pretty great and flawless plan, huh?
I was still holding on to the Drone and was waiting for the perfect time to jump. The ground was really close now and I could see the buildings with better detail, or lack there of. The buildings mostly had some kind of yellow roofing and the roads appeared to be brown, dirt roads maybe? Well I went back to preparing to jump at the right time when the tips of the ArachDrone’s legs opened up sort of like a pyramid if it were cut along the edges of the point. I snapped back to reality and noticed then in a few seconds would be the right time to jump. I got in position for the jump and I pushed of the Drone and upwards I went.
Things didn’t go as expected. I jumped yes but when I jumped my feet were still touching the Drone, so when I actually landed, I tumbled over the side. I quickly grabbed one of the ArachDrone’s legs tos slow my fall when I noticed that we didn’t crash into the ground. I looked down and saw that we were actually a few dozen meters from the ground which turned out to actually be the center of the town I saw earlier. The Drone slowly started to land and was only ten feet from the ground when I lost my grip and fell. I landed and did a quick roll to ensure no bodily harm. I was glad that I didn’t fall to my death but realizing that me holding on to the Drone was the reason I survived the fall, which meant that the Drone is still functional and don’t destroyed. I quickly turned around to see the Drone fully land with it’s legs back to normal. It turned towards me, and then I realized that it’s my enemy when it shot a rocket at me. I jumped to the side and dodged it while it exploded where I was just standing. The Drone turned towards me again and started shooting at me with it’s energy cannons. I was dodging and jumping, trying not to get shot, and I looked at it to see that my sword was still embedded in it’s back.
I dodged another three blast and remembered my other SP14, so I pulled it out and started shooting at it’s left rocket launcher. After a few hits the launcher exploded and destroyed the left cannon too. I was about to shoot the right one when another rocket cam at me. I barely dodged that one when I started hearing voices, but I stayed concentrated on the ArachDrone. I dived forward to dodged another barrage of lasers and started shooting at the legs. I hit and destroyed three of them while still running and jumping to avoid being hit when another rocket came at me. I couldn’t get far enough and the blast threw a few meters away. I got up and looked back at the Drone, which was trying to move closer but was awkwardly walking with it’s odd number of limbs.
I again began shooting, this time aiming for the ‘eyes’. I hit a few and it started to have less accurate aiming. I took this as my chance at aiming for the launcher again, hitting it with another display of sparks and shrapnel. This left the Drone without any long range weapons, and it knew that very well. It started towards me and swing one of it’s front legs towards me, but I wasn’t ready to become skewered. I dodged a few attacks and grabbed on to the swing leg, swung myself upwards, and landed on top of the mechanical monster. I lunged for my cutlass and pulled it out of the robot’s back. I jumped onto the head of the ArachDrone and stabbed it right in the center of it’s head.
I pulled the sword out and jumped off. I landed and heard the satisfactory sound of the bot crashing to the ground behind me, sparks flying from the top of it’s head. I looked back to just to make sure, even though it was obviously not going to get back up. I turned back around when I saw something I never thought I would see in real life: Ponies.
At first I was just staring at them while they stared at me. Are they actually there? Did they watch the entire fight? As to confirm my suspicions, they backed up slowly while I blinked to make sure I wasn’t seeing things. ‘Well they’re actually there, and I’m not crazy so that’s good’ I thought while still standing there, gawking. I snapped back to reality and backed up a bit when suddenly I heard some sort of ‘AHHHH’ yelling noise, but not a ‘Run for your lives!’ yell but more of a ‘CHARGE!’ yell. I heard it getting closer from behind me and quickly jumped to the side, barely dodging the streak of color that was flying towards me. ‘Yep, that proves it, I’m in Equestria’ I thought.
Suddenly white ponies in golden armor started to surround the area where the battle took place. I knew these to be Royal Guards, when heard the same yelling from before, so I jumped to the side and rolled on the ground before getting back up to see the color streak stop a few meters away from, revealing a mare I knew all too well: The Element of Loyalty herself, Rainbow Dash. She was glaring at me, but I guessed it was because I was some alien who fell from the sky with another alien and destroyed said other alien. From between the guards who were blocking me from the crowd came the rest of the Elements of Harmony, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Fluttershy.
They went and stood next to their friend while I was keeping careful watch over them and the guards as to not be caught off guard. That’s when I heard something coming from behind me, and I turned around to see what, or in this case who, it could be.
There, in front of me stood Princess Celestia. She was looking at me with both caution and curiosity. I knew she might think I’m a threat if I do or say anything against them so I said the simplest thing that could cause a HUGE reaction.
“Uh...Hi…” I said suddenly.
Princess Celestia suddenly stepped back, apparently not expecting me to talk. “You can speak? Can You understand me?” she asked slowly.
“Yeah, I can understand you and I obviously can speak because I am speaking right now,” I said cautiously.
She seemed to go into that pokerface that she’s well known for. “Will you put down your sword, please,” she said with a calm yet commanding demeanor.
“Sorry, but I can’t do that,” I said, even though I knew things were going to go downhill from here on out.
“Then tell me, why can you not put your weapon down?” she replied.
“Well you have a lot of guards here, so why would I have to put down my sword if they don’t have to put down their spears?” I responded which caused the guards to advance as well as Rainbow to get into a battle stance.
“I know they have spears to defend me and my subjects while I don’t know why you have a sword besides the possibility of you attacking my subjects,” she said with a hint of suspiciousness.
“Well I have a sword to only defend myself and others so you should understand why,” I replied
“Yes, I do...Now what are you and why are you here?” she asked.
“My ali-I mean my name is Incognito Blazer and I am a Human being from the planet Earth. As for why am I here, well I can’t tell you because I’m not sure myself,” I answered.
“I am Princess Celes-” without thinking I cut her off.
“Celestia,” I suddenly realized I didn’t say that in my head as I originally thought, and that 1) I just cut her off and 2) They now know that I know their princess’ name.
Suddenly, something hits by back and I fall of balance. I hit the ground while I can feel a weight on my back.
“How do you know Princess Celestia’s name!?” I heard who I can guess is Rainbow say.
“Uh...she told me?” I say hoping she buys it.
“She never finished telling you!” She responds before suddenly gasping. “*gasp* Are you a SPY?!” She asked.
“Ummm...well I can be a spy b-” She cuts me off.
“HA! So you admit it! Twilight! I told you I would find a spy one day!” She yells to Twilight.
“Yes, Rainbow, you did, but did you really have to yell?” Twilight responds.
Rainbow ignores that last part of Twilight’s response and tells me “Well, SPY! You aren’t going anywhere because I caught you and you can’t get away from me, Rainbow Dash, Fastest flyer in ALL Equestria, because NOPONY CAN GET AWAY FROM ME!”
‘Huh, guess she really does have quite an ego...’ I think to myself and decide to do something about her because no one can keep Incognito captive for very long...and because her hooves feel like their digging into my back.
“Well I guess I’m going to be the first!” I said while rolling to the side, which caused her to tip over and fall off me. I get up and turn towards her. She gets up and glares at me and is about to lunge for me when suddenly I’m surrounded by guards with spears pointed at me. I look towards Celestia and she looks at me with a disapproving look.
“How do I know that you aren’t hostile? They way you responded and acted towards the Element of Loyalty show that you can possibly be a threat to this land.” She said.
“Well I can promise you that I am not a threat to this land and that you can trust me. Let me stay here for a week and if you get complaints from any of the ponies of this town, you can decide if I should stay or if I should go, sound good?” I responded.
“Hmmm...OK, one week, Incognito Blazer, and then I shall decide,” She replied with a stern expression.
“Thanks, and you can just call me Blazer, along with everyone else here,” I replied.
“Well I hope you can prove yourself for your own good, because even though I have to wait a week to do something, the Elements of Harmony don’t,” She said with a smirk.
I looked towards the Mane 6. All of them had neutral expressions, except fro Rainbow who was still glaring at me.
Even though I have a plan for this, I didn’t account for the ArachDrone and for being a ‘Spy’ to Rainbow Dash...This could get bad...
