Long Way From Hell
Chapter 1: Into The Flames
Load Full StoryNext ChapterSilence, that is all that could be said here concerning this room.
The room had been littered with gold and other materials that anyone would want to shove as much gold as possible into his/her pockets and run away leaving nothing left behind. Obviously from the chairs and the screen one could easily seduced that this room had been a safe/theater room meant for a interesting story. The camera had started rolling on its own, the screen covered with nothing more then shadows looking like puppets.
*Static fills the room before a man starts to speak*
A lone wanderer had walked into this room so many years ago; this same wanderer had done a number of great things throughout his entire life. Having already travelled from the impurities of the Capital Wasteland, the wanderer had decided to retire from traveling. However this much was not meant to be, as with all roads, we humans walk our own separate paths but sometimes the road can be lonely.
*Static fills the room, a woman’s voice coughs as she begins speaking*
Sometimes thy roads shall be lonesome, insanity sinks in as the cruelties of the world start to get to you. Thousands of others have been dragged into the succubus of this path, and what’s left either becomes a bloodthirsty beast that should be put down, one chooses death…. But sometimes the lonely road is not walked alone.
*Static once more but when the it came back on both the speakers were visible on screen*
But for you to truly understand one must walk this road and listen to others as this road continues to push you forward. This is the story of two, one whose road hadn’t ended yet and yet another whom was never meant to walk upon any roads throughout her life and stumbled into another- this story shall tell how these two had stepped forward sharing the same road and walked into the book of legends.
My Name is Fluttershy…I’m...a Pegasus po-pony living in the world of Konton in the state of (in human language) Muryo Homu, in the capital of Equestria in the small backwater town of Ponyville. Now before we begin I need to let you know quite a few things based on what I have learned about us ponies in general, us ponies are actually supposedly if it all comes down to it much more long lived then the average human.
Don’t worry I will tell you how I know of humans later on but for now you should listen to my tale… No not my tail I mean my story, anyways the bridges between our worlds is actually loosely connected. I say loosely as; actually just think of it as a book when you read it you’re witnessing the events of another world take place, in a way that is how the dimension barrier between Konton and the human world works. In the human world My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic represents the Konton that I live in while in my world the show Humanazia: Science is Crazy represents all the things both good and bad with the human world.
You still listening? Good because what I told is sketchy to me but it is a good explanation on how the bridge works between our worlds, however there are to many bridges to identify which is the original or not, for all I know I can be a ‘copy bridge’ of the original.
Now that I have explained that little detail about my story how about I go back to where it all began?
Now to start like I had said before I live in Ponyville, a small backwater town with despite the appearance has a community of a grand total of 3,500 individuals in said town. Among those individuals there are many ponies, griffions, we also got some hybrids of both species with the occasional visit from other species.
My jobs are simple; one of my jobs is that I am an accountant for the Mayor of the town Mayor Mare as she calls herself. Despite how great of a mayor she is she can be a real pain when she is thinking really hard on how to improve Ponyville economy wise, it’s really because she only focuses on Ponyville and nothing else unless the Princess herself asks her to focus on other things for a short time.
As for my other occupation I am actually a caretaker for various animals around the Everfree Forest, too be honest it’s actually hard but at the same time easy. I may love my little fuzzy wuzzy animals and hug them a lot, but it is really difficult to get fake meat around town without seeming out of place- other times I have to feed my dead animals to my other alive animals which tears at my heartstrings but I manage to hide it.
All in all the job requires a large amount of physical effort, some of the effort requires my wings but unlike my friend Rainbow Dash (I will explain later) I have difficulties flying due to my acrophobia that developed when I almost fell to my death when I was a little filly (that’s girl in earth terms)
This last detail is important because on the day I had changed for better or for worse I had been asked by the mayor herself to help Rainbow Dash move a large amount of clouds. You would think that the clouds would be easy to lift right? Well if you call holding a grenade that is the size of a damnable tree trunk easy. Truth is that it takes a lot of physical effort to be able to even move them, even more so to be able to destroy these clouds it is that reason that we eventually ended up getting the Wonderbolts here; good thing too since they also agreed to help and by doing so inspire other ponies to get better at flying/running.
“Hey Fluttershy!” I had turned my head towards Rainbow Dash as she flew towards me while doing a backflip, yup still as acrobatic as ever I see.
“Oh-um hello Rainbow Dash” I spoke to her with a kind, yet soft tone in my voice…is it really hard to believe that I had a stutter back then? Anyways Rainbow Dash had proceeded to talk about how we were going too move the clouds from Ponyville and set them on a course towards Manehattan by letting the breeze carry them over the Everfree Forest. Believe it or not the process that it took to do this required a lot of skill in science/chemistry to be able to easily learn how this process work let me show you what I mean.
“And then when the dust and Carbon mix the clouds will become solid enough to move, when that is settle the cardiac should be able to stabilize the clouds- Are you listening to me Fluttershy?” Rainbow Dash asked me in a hasty tone that would spell trouble if I said no, and when that happens well: Big Macintosh kicking me in the face that one time was less painful for me.
“Oh- yes, yes I think I know what to do and we should hurry I have a cake in the oven and I would rather not have the house burn when I am gone…um if that’s alright with you” Told you I was shy, anyways the two of us took off into the air and started to fly towards the large set of clouds. If I were to hear someone say that the mayor was trying to hurt us, then I would respond with ‘she wouldn’t let us do this job if she didn’t believe we could handle it’ and that much goes triple for Rainbow Dash.
“Alright this is easy we’ll be eating that cake of yours in no time Fluttershy!” I smirked and shook my head at this, besides Pinkie Pie Rainbow Dash is the most childish pony I have ever met. It’s no wonder every team she is on gets the job done so quickly, because she is always there to lead the group and lift up their spirits.
When we got there I will not lie the clouds were no different then a bunch of bushes mushed together. The sky roared with anger as we flew closer and closer to our destination, the clouds were warm and soft like a blanket but were slippery like soap as we were forcing them to move away from Ponyville and towards the Everfree.
“Alright we got them in position!” Really? We had finished the task that quickly? My guess is that we did that in only 2 minutes flat; see what two friends that are excellent partners can do when they work together on something important?
“And there they go Fluttershy” Rainbow Dash commented brashly as the wind picked up and the clouds started to head far away from the Everfree Forest. There weren’t any words shared at that small moment, during these moments the two of us would be sharing the same thoughts without the usage of words. We flew down from the sky and landed near a meadow where we could think about what we wanted to say to another.
The grass beneath my feet was so soft, so moist, I will never understand why Rainbow Dash chooses to wear socks and shoes all the time; why should I wear shoes when the grass is very comfortable on my feet? I could feel my friends eyes staring at me from top too bottom, it wasn’t very surprising considering the clothing that I was wearing, my hair started to flow elegantly from the cool air that was pushing towards me as I step forward.
It wasn’t very much really; my shirt was a long sleeved green shirt that had a picture of my wittle lovable bunny Angel on the left shoulder. On the right shoulder however I had a picture of Rainbow Dash’s lightning bolt cutie mark and on the front was my cutie mark of three butterflies. In my humble opinion I think I like my somewhat skinny jeans, they are really meant for working out but they are warm, soft, and more importantly flexible which is actually a requirement for my animal caretaker job sometimes. Someone has to save the animals that are in peril from falling down from dangerous heights right? Well some pegasai like myself can’t do that if our clothes are too uncomfortable and wont
“You should probably get a new set of clothes Fluttershy” Not really Rainbow Dash, I love my clothing the way it is. Besides isn’t it you who likes to show off her baseball breast with that mesh bodysuit? On top of that you have a trench coat jacket that matches your fur so well that it is almost impossible for me to tell if you are wearing a jacket at all; if that wasn’t enough you even have skinny jeans and rainbow colored shoes!
“I um, like the clothes that I have now” I said trying to avoid this conversation, believe it or not talking about my clothes isn’t something that I like to discuss. Rainbow Dash took that moment to go on about a conversation she had with Rarity our local dress designer and the discussion concerning clothing the two for some durable; yet still stunning flight suits that Rainbow Dash could use to practice flying.
During our small talk however I had noticed something unusual coming from the crowd. Ponyville is a great place to settle down due to the many celebrations there is due to the amount of holidays consisting in the year, and every month there is an evaluation on everypony for their magic, wing power, health, hearing, and eyesight.
My eyesight test was 2 days ago, and I scored 84.6/100, with a side evaluation of photographic memory.
There was a silver colored stallion earth pony staring at Rainbow Dash with murderous eyes, I could make out a symbol of a sword coated in flames with the sword stabbing a skull on his shoulder. The pony was holding a glove that looked like it was possibly made of diamonds, judgeing by the amount of what appeared to be glitter on a blue colored rubber glove.
When the stallion looked at her with a smile he opened his glove, and just when I thought it couldn’t be worse the pony started to get a glowing dark green with red highlight aura in his hand. I might not have had the best education when it came to magic, but even I know about the fact that some types of magic are dark and evil.
In an instant my whole world had been flipped upside down as the pony launched a jet of black destructive flames heading straight for Rainbow Dash, not wasting anytime I spread my wings and flew towards my old friend and pushed her down; that moment however followed up with me getting hit by the flames instead, it burned far more worse then that Griffon Curry Rainbow Dash had me try at last hearts and hooves day.
I let out an angry scream mixed with pain and flew towards the stallion whom had a smug grin on his face in an attempt to strike him down, my vision had started to dark ever so slowly as the black flames consumed me into the abyss, I could barely feel my punch connecting with the stallions jaw as my vision had faded into black…..
