From the apocalypse to Equestria

After he had explained a bit about the Medicine man and a guard had come to report that he had been found and was currently alone with the other princess in her room well let’s just say that James did not like it one bit his concern was obviously shared with Celestia. She had yet to speak with this Medicine man, but from what she had been told he was an extremely dangerous individual now of course she doesn’t believe everything she hears however so far James had been honest and well the thought of having your little sister in the same room as someone like the Medicine man isn’t exact comforting.

Celestia immediately teleported the two of them to her sisters room where she indeed saw her sister sitting on her bed together with the masked creature two drinks on a table close to the bed so far her sister looked unharmed.

By now both her sister’s and the masked creature’s gaze was focused on her and James. The masked one asked with a tone so cold that it even made a chill run up her spine “Missed me?”

Whatever it meant she could sense James did not appreciate the remark in the least as he angrily snarled. “YOU!!!”

The masked creature looked unfazed of course she couldn’t see it’s face, but she was certain of it the creature hadn’t even flinched from the hateful tone James had said it instead it opted to mimic James on his own cold calculated way.

“You.” Johann replied with his normal voice on a semi-taunting way.

The two sisters could only look baffled at the sudden immense hostility in the room between the two and silently they were happy to separate them or they would have most likely killed each other when they had awoken however before either of the two sisters could try to defuse the situation James had already charged at Johann.

Johann was no fool however and he knew he had it coming so he grabbed James wrist and in a quick motion threw him on the bed before quickly grabbing his combat knife that was sheeted in a special holster attached to his left lower leg just above his ankle and proceeded into trying to deal with his rival once and for all. The princesses tried to take the knife using their magic, but found out their magic did not work at all on the knife or anything of the man this leaved them stunned again as they had never met someone on who their magic had no effect at all.

James had anticipated the attack and rolled to his right barely dodging the knife which missed him by mere inches immediately he got from the bed and to his relief founded the ponies had left his shiv he had hidden in a hidden pocket from jacket granted it wasn’t as fancy as the combat knife of the Medicine man, but it would get the job done.

Both men jumped on top of Luna’s bed and held their knife fight there both trying to stab their opponent, but so far neither of them managed to land a hit each time they attacked it was blocked by the other. Johann was just done dealing another barrage which had been dodged when suddenly James charged him causing him to fall backwards from the bed straight on top of the table he and Luna had put their drinks on. The table broke underneath his weight immediately he grabbed a piece of wood and slung it towards James who was forced to abandon his original plan of diving on top of his opponent in order to dodge the piece.

“ENOUGH!!!!!!!!”
The voice commanded obedience and both men obeyed halting each of their moves instantly. “THAT DOTH WISHES TO FIGHT WE CAN UNDERSTAND, BUT THAT THOU SPILLED A BOTTLE OF OUR FINNEST MOONSHINE IS INEXCUSABLE!!!!!!!”

Johann briefly averted his gaze from the angry Luna to look around and indeed the bottle that had stood on the table was laying broken on the ground the delicious liquid it once contained spilled on the floor it was a saddening sight indeed for Johann seeing that godly liquid wasted. He returned his gaze to the princesses deciding they were the more important matter at hand tan a broken bottle (that and it fell like someone stabbed him in the back when he looked at the broken bottle.)

“Explain to me this instance why the two of you decided that a knife battle needed to be hosted in my sister’s bedroom,” Celestia bellowed on a way it started nearing her sister’s royal Canterlot voice.

“I already told you why Celestia. He’s dangerous and he needs to be taken care off,” James replied earning a snort from Johann.

“Well well well I am barely here for a few days and already you’re trying to get me killed James why am I not surprised in the very least.”

“Don’t act like a saint you have committed crimes for which you should be punished! Besides I am pretty sure you would have done the same thing to me you probably already had a plan!”

Oh yes that would indeed have been very very tempting had he known problem was he hadn’t he had only just been notified there was another human here, but there hadn’t been exactly been a lot of time between learning of this information and James showing up in the room with Celestia barely enough to comprehend it let alone make a plan for getting rid of him.

“Hey, in my defense you’re still living right that means I at least didn’t make it my number one priority to get rid of you,” Johann tried to scavenge what he could from the situation.

“Enough!!!,” Celestia yelled again silencing the two men. “I demand an explanation for the hostility between the two of you.”

Neither of the two men wanted to tell her, but neither of them also wanted to deny a pissed of solar diarch to piss off so James tried to stall. “Fine I will tell you my tale, but perhaps it would be beneficial to tell everyone who needs to know in one it’s not a story that I feel good telling so please reduce the amount of times the story needs to be old to a minimum.”

A small compassionate smile formed on Celestia’s face and she nodded “very well I understand that not every story is pleasant to tell so me and my sister shall discuss who we deem necessary to hear your story I assume you feel the same way mister uhm?”

James didn’t show it, but he was just as curious as Celestia for the answer he had always know his enemy as the Medicine man.

“Most people these days know me as the Medicine man.” James hid his disappointment until he suddenly heard him continue. “However once I was named Johann Wolf I guess you can call me that.”

Johann Wolf so that was his arch-nemesis name after all this time he finally knew and whilst James honestly wanted nothing to do with Johann he couldn’t do anything for the time being besides who knows perhaps if he was stuck in this pony land it would be good to have at least one more human with him even if that human was his arch-nemesis.

Johann was thinking exactly the same thing sure he did not like James, but he also didn’t like the prospect of being the only human either so for now the two made a silent truce there came an uncomfortable silence well for anyone besides Johann as he was used to silence during the apocalypse he had traveled mostly alone in comparison to James who had some companions.

If one of them had the plan to break the silence it came a little too late as a loud *BANG* which startled everyone and James eyes fell upon Joann’s belongings and realized that his belongings hadn’t been in his room. “Where is my stuff,” He exclaimed.

Both princesses stuttered the same word. “Twilight.”

Immediately he ran out of the room followed by the princesses and Johann.

****

Twilight felt a burning pain in her foreleg unlike anything she had ever felt before the James revolver laid far away from her as she had crawled away as far away from the device as she could. She heard shouting and yelling in the hallway and suddenly her door was opened by one of the creatures she was absolutely petrified now she did not know anything of this creature and here it was in her room whilst she was wounded however when she looked in his eyes she saw no rage or hatred, but concern.

The creature was young she noticed this was the first time she got a good look on him twenty-one or twenty-three at mot just as old as she yet she could sense the amount of pain and sadness he had gone through was far greater than that of hers.

He immediately went over to her alcoholic beverages he didn’t question why she had them she’s a politician now and he was sure of it a good swing was the only thing that prevented a lot of those guys form going insane.

Now the princesses were quite confused as to what he was doing the knife fight that had just happened not really warming them up for the human either so they used their magic to take the things from his grasp. James threw them a glare not a hateful one like expected, but more an urgent one. “I am trying to help.” Was all he said before returning to what he was doing.

The second creature had cold eyes which caused a small chill to run up her spines however as he saw her leg she could see a small bit of compassion in it’s eyes before it on his turn broke off a table leg like a well synchronized team they finished at the exact same time and arrive by Twilight.

The first creature took a cloth out of his pocket which he drenched using some of her strong liquor. The other one holding the table leg near her mouth saying. “bite on it!”

Twilight threw a questioning look at the princesses who were also confused sensing her confusion the creature continued. “This will hurt and the wood will prevent you from biting your tongue off so open your mouth.”

This time she obeyed and the creature placed the wood in her mouth right on time as the first creature poured the liquid on her wound and a terrible pain made her bite down on the wood fresh tears forming in her eyes. “shh everything will be fine,” the first creature said on an extremely soothing tone.

“That will do princess can you cauterize the wound,” the second creature asked on his normal cold voice after a little while.

Celestia complied lighting her horn to everyone’s amazement the alcohol ignited, but it didn’t burn her skin only her fur when the flames died out the first creature bound her wound with the piece of cloth. “That should hold it for now, but she still needs a real doctor or at least I hope it holds it’s been a while since I got shot.” Twilight couldn’t help, but notice the glance the first creature shot at the second who remained completely silent. She did not know the detail, but something told her it had been good to separate these two although this of course caused new questions on which she wanted an answer.

She felt how she was lifted and being carried, but then she fell asleep as her adrenaline started wearing off combined with the loss of blood which was also partially responsible.

****

She awoke finding herself covered by comfy blankets on top of her and a soft bed underneath her as well as the face of the first creature who was looking at someone else in the room, but Twilight didn’t found the power to turn her head or even keep her eyes open so she just listened.

“We don’t exactly know how to say this on a good way,” The voice which she recognized as the second creature said.

“I guarantee you no harm will come to the two of you whilst the knife fight you two held in my sister’s room is inexcusable without you Twilight would be in a far worse condition.”

“Very well I or rather we know for I believe he watched the show as well know everything about you guys about you and your sister and a lot more ponies, the elements of harmony, the changeling invasion, Discord, Sombra, Nightmare moon.”

“How?” She heard her mentor ask confused.

“You remember our talk about you know television right?”

“Yes.”

“In our world you guys are a television show originally meant for little girls although through numerous reasons you guys attracted people from all kind of ages and of the opposite gender. Because of numerous reasons good story line, good character development and something we humans like a lot,” The cold voice of the second human added.

“And what was that?”

“We humans always loved things that are considered cute or adorable.” The first human replied.

“And I need to admit that whilst I was considered an extremely cold man on my world I need to admit you guys are by far the cutest thing I have ever seen in my life,” The second human obviously trying to lighten the mood a bit as he allowed some warmth to mix with his cold voice. (She really ought to learn their names referring to them as such is getting annoying).

“I can sense a but coming up am I correct?”

“I always say for every good person there is at least one bad person and boy were there a lot of those a lot of people understood the messages of the show, but a lot more didn’t and the internet became a warzone long story short there were a lot of haters who tried to put you guys in a bad light and there were those who made you guys look awesome.” The second one said.

Twilight opened her eyes and was blinded by the light her mentor immediately noticed her and hugged her student.

Princess,” Twilight said happily as she hugged her mentor back, but unable to shake the feeling of what she just heard off of her somehow her mentor sensed her unease and asked more as a statement than a question.

“You heard them didn’t you?”

“Yes, princess,” Twilight replied not only did she knew that lying against Celestia was bad idea, but she was sure of it the truth was as clearly visible on her face as could be.

“Listen Twilight I shall inform Luna, but I think it would be unwise to inform any others from this discovery for the time being.”

Twilight gave a nod that she understood and looked at the two humans one looking at the ground the masked one looking out of the window. “May I ask your name’s?”

“James Hendrik Miller, but just call me James princess it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

“Name’s Johann Wolf, but just Johann is fine.”

Twilight nodded happy that she no longer needed to refer to them as first and second creature however the peace was short lived hen suddenly there was a number of knocks on the door earning confused looks from everyone (well Johann’s masks prevents them from being sure, but there was a good possibility).

Celestia opened the door and a blur of pink shot in the room especially startling James and Johan as both reached for their firearms before realizing who it was Pinkie Pie the pink menace, the defiler of everything logical and the bane of everything sane.

“TWILIGHT! MY PINKIE SENSE TOLD ME YOU WERE IN THE HOSPITAL SO I GATHERED THE GIRLS AND SPIKE TO COME AND VISIT YOU BECAUSE I THOUGHT YOU WOULD BE LONELY I WAS ONCE IN THE HOSPITAL AND I GOT LONELY AND I DID NOT LIKE IT I CAN’T IMAGINE WHAT I WOULD DO IF NO ONE CAME TO VISIT ME IF I WERE IN YOUR PLACE. OH THAT WOULD MAKE ME SOOOOO SAD, BUT YOU DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT BECAUSE I RALLIED EVERYONE OH HI PRINCESS! ANYWAY THAT WOULD BE LIKE SUPER DUPAH MEGA BUMMER!”

“SHUT UP PLEASE SHUT THE FUCK UPFOR EVERYTHING SACRED SHUT UP,” James roared using all of his willpower to not shoot the pink mare whilst Johann didn’t say nothing merely standing there motionless trying to suppress both his irritation and his growing headache and of course then that terrible voice started again as she took notice of the two humans.

“WOW, I HAVE NEVER SEEN SOMETHING LIKE YOU TWO BEFORE! ARE YOU TWO MONSTERS? AND WHY IS HE WEARING THAT CREEPY MASK? ARE YOU PSYCHOPAS?????? mmmphmmm”

Princess Celestia used her hoof to cover Pinkie’s mouth to prevent both men from drawing their weapons on the pink mare she was especially worried about Johann seeing as his mask made it impossible for her to predict his actions.

“Pinkie it is psychopath not psychopas and that’s extremely rude to ask,” Twilight reprimanded the pink mare unbeknown to the other occupants of the room Johann released his breath happy with the renewed silence unfortunately it was short lived as he heard a few voices in the hallway.

“Where did Pinkie go?” A tomboyish voice asked and both men knew who it was.

“We should just follow the trail of confetti,” A voice with a southern accent proposed.

“uhm…Are we… uhm sure that Twilight is hurt,” A soft voice asked by this time Johann just grunted and walked to the darkest and furthest corner of the room this situation made him think back a little bit too much about his university days (the more annoying of those days) besides that he really just wanted some peace and quiet as he had developed a beginning headache.

James patient had already reach zero because of the pink mare. He took a massive breath and yelled. “IN HERE!” after that it became silent much to Johann’s pleasure.

The first one was Fluttershy who at the sight of James ran back out of the room Rainbow and Applejack looked at Fluttershy before entering and looking at James. “What the hay is that thing?”

Two hands face palmed whilst directed at James Johann couldn’t prevent him from face palming as well. “Fuck this shit.”

“haha you have funny words I mean what does fuck actually mean I bet it’s something fun and nice FUCK. That party was so fuck! I love it FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK!” Pinkie started spouting the word fuck out so many times both men could only watch in shock if one would have paid attention to Johann’s eyes they would have seen the coldness disappear for a brief second replaced by confusion and embarrassment for being in the presence of someone who used the word fuck on such a way.

“Pinkie that’s a bad word.” Twilight reprimanded this caused the Pink mare’s eyes to widen in shock before she pulled her tongue out of mouth and watched in shock. Applejack send a glare in James direction not that he cared.

More hooves were heard outside and both men knew who it was and they waited for the imminent gasp. Rarity appeared in the door opening dragging Fluttershy with her using her magic and when she saw James.

*Gasp*

Both Johann and James rolled their eyes at the way both predicted how it would go. “It’s like I am reading some fan made story again,” Johann mumbled under his breath. Celestia picked up on both men irritation and cleared her throat to get their attention.

“Girls you have met our two guests James and johann.” She began obviously Johann had hid quite well as the girls minus Pinkie only noticed the second human after Celestia gestured to him and they gasped as they saw him. (If they already don’t trust James imagine how they feel about a human with a creepy mask and a look of that of an assassin or a typical ‘bad guy’).

“Princess are they monsters?”

“Princess what are they?”

“Princess are they criminals?”

“Princess why does that one wear a mask?”

And so they kept coming and coming and coming and on one point Johann simply couldn’t handle it anymore and so for the first time in a long very long time Johann took a deep breath and unleashed a voice upon the poor mares that matched if not surpassed the royal Canterlot voice. “Silence!!! Your whining is insufferable for my head so for the love of god shut up and allow your princess to explain!!!!”
Everyone in the room looked baffled at Johann in all the time James had known Johann not once had he resorted to using a voice like this he always looked like the silent type that couldn’t even produce such a voice even if he tried. ‘It are always the silent one’s you need to watch out for.’ James thought to himself.

‘Looks like my sister found her equal.” Celesia mused under her breath amused as she thought about her sister’s royal Canterlot voice regardless it had worked to silence the remaining element bearers so she continued.

“Both of them have rather crude language.” This earned her another face palm from James and a deep sight from Johann. She kept it simple explaining who they were and where they came from whilst leaving out some sensitive subjects like the apocalypse, the knife fight, the combat experience of both men halfway through Luna appeared in the room silently making her way over to Johann who just sat there motionless waiting just like James for the explanation to end after his little outburst.

The girls asked questions some were answered others were passed up after what seemed like an eternity Celestia said. “I propose we all have breakfast together tomorrow so we can discuss a few things Twilight should be fine by tomorrow now this earned the attention of both men especially that of Johann.

“Wait a minute she took a .357 round in the leg I wasn’t a doctor, but I studied medical science so please enlighten me over why you think she will be able to leave tomorrow?”

“Magic,” The princesses and Twilight replied simultaneously.

Johann could only come up with one response. “This is messed up!” both men shared the same thought. ‘Perhaps it would be beneficial to not kill James/Johann if I want to keep my sanity in this place.’

The princesses and much to both men reliefs the girls departed to their respective rooms both Johann and James stayed with Twilight after promising to not kill one another. Twilight could feel the tension between both men however both told her a lot about the fandom of the show for a good while before they all fell asleep or in the case of James an Johann a deep rest as neither felt comfortable completely lowering their guard in the presence of the other.
