The Final Humanby BananaRocket ProductionsChaptersThe DropMemoriesDoctor's VisitThe Drop3 years..... 3 Years of endless suffering, lost loved ones, lost friends, lost memories, lost everything. It all happened so fast, like it was a dream. The first contact we get from an intelligent species and they are hostile. They seemed to only want blood, not only ours, but the blood of all creatures of earth. All was lost and everything Man has struggled to create, was destroyed. The last human you saw was about a year ago, their face was of one who had their humanity stripped. Like a hollow from Dark souls, a game you loved so much. Loneliness consumed you, you never even had a girlfriend, and that only fueled the lust for companionship. You hid from the invaders as best you could but you knew that one day, they will find you. And so they did but the what happened, became a blur like the trauma of seeing them was too much for you to handle. But now, there was only darkness. Are you dead? Is this what death is like? You see light, feel the warmth, and feel the happiness. You didn't believe in God and the afterlife, but hoped you were wrong for the sake of others. The light was getting stronger and the heat was more intense, you hadn't felt that in years as the sun was blocked from all the ash on Earth. Driven to see your family once more and to finally be at peace, you tried to go toward the light faster. But this feels strange? Like this isn't how you get to Heaven. "Wait!!!? Am I falling?" you think as more of your senses kick in. The wind blowing heavily in your face. The smell of trees and the outdoors. Wait? Trees!?!? Something's very off. Earth was scorched into ash and you don't fall to heaven!? Well its a win win situation, you survive the fall and see what awaits you in this new world. Or you die on impact and see your family. Unless this is hell! But hell doesn't have trees, or you don't think so. Back to the problem at hand, your falling, and fast! With nothing else to do you decide to have fun, you never went sky diving and this probably the last chance you get at this. A couple of front flips here and a couple rolls there. You are genuinely having fun, the first feeling of happiness in many years. In your bliss, you don't see the ground closing in, and the awfully close cloud layer. Still enjoying yourself, you turn around and fall with you back towards the ground, unaware how close the clouds are to you. Immediately after you turn around, you lose your breath as you slam into the clouds on your back. Not realizing how hard these clouds are and damaging your back. Your descent is slowed down dramatically but still hitting the ground would probably kill you. The next sensation you feel catches you off guard, WATER!! Sinking deeper as your energy from the fall propels you downward. Not sure what to do as the pain from the impact with the clouds and water paralyzes you, you panic and flail you arms about, legs not responding. You feel a pull, weather it was up or down you can't tell, but you let it take you. It felt like minutes pass as you get dragged somewhere by something but then your sight begins to return. A light and a figure are in your vision, blurry as hell but they are there. And then, Air! Sweet ,Sweet Air! Gasping like a fish out of water(funny as you were just in the water), you begin to feel more tired. Something is talking but you don't listen as your body tells you to sleep, And so you do. You don't argue as you always loved sleep. Actually you can never get enough as you always feel tired when you wake up, now matter how long you slept for. In your sleep you hear more voices but everything is slightly muffled. You can only hear a few words and realize there are several voices. "I wonder what...." "I don't know....... hurt" "Oh, I hope......" "Don't worry F......... be fine. It just needs...." Their voices stop. But after what seems like an eternity, you wake up with pain all over. Like a switch, all you senses turn back on, light brighter than an atomic explosion from 40 miles away, a smell of a what you remember to be from a zoo. A slight Iron taste in your mouth and nothing but silence. As your vision returns you start to notice the things in the room you are in, the sofa which holds your injured body, Wooden furniture, bird cages, a rug in the middle of the room, Stairs next to you, and round windows. All you haven't seen since..... meh, doesn't matter right now. Which begs the question, where the hell are you? Can't be on Earth, too...... Alive, Heaven wouldn't have you in so much pain and hell, you'll be in much more pain. Then you realize, The Voices! They were familiar, but you can't quite fit your finger on it. That finger probably being broken from the impact with the water, but it still bugged you. You hear voices coming closer from a door which seems to lead to a kitchen, you eagerly await to see your saviors. But then a couple questions fill your mind, are they friendly, do they speak English? Idiot!!! They are speaking right now, of course the speak English. Then the voices come closer, and something comes out of the doorway. You can't tell what it is at first, but then it hits you like a train. A Hoof!! A purple hoof!!! The inner Brony in you is screaming at you in delight! Equestria! Ponies! Friendship! Magic! An end to your suffering! Peace! Your heart is pounding as you wonder who is at the door! Twilight Sparkle! Followed by Rainbow Dash and FlutterShy!!! Fucking FlutterShy!!! You visibly smile at them and cry a bit. Not because you see cartoon ponies, but because all your suffering will end and you are finally safe. The last of your kind(you think?), you survived extinction and this was your reward.But why you? Why not your friend, your nephew who wasn't even 3, your mom or dad, a random person who deserved it more than you.You don't dwell on this because you wouldn't want to sadden these pure creatures. Twilight approaches you and you mentally prepare yourself for a new onslaught, an onslaught of.... QUESTIONS!!!!! Dun Dun DUN!!!!! You laugh at yourself as even a couple hours(or you think so) in this world and your almost as happy as you were before the Attack from Mars.(Not Really) She Begins to talk. "Hi, My name is Twilight Sparkle. Do you understand our language?" "..." Your mouth opens but nothing comes out. Maybe because you haven't spoken in a really long time. So you nod. "Oh, it looks like you understand me but you can't speak. I need to ask you some questions about yourself which involve a spoken answer. Mind if my friend FlutterShy here takes a look to see if she can help you?" "T-thats if it's ok with you?" As you look to nod yes, you nearly have a heart attack from a cuteness overload. She approaches you to inspect your throat, which is weird, you thought she'd be more... shy. She softly grabs your head as you open your mouth and she looks down you throat. You look over as Rainbow Dash just watches from the doorway, like she never seen FlutterShy doing this. Actually it might be from seeing a human, 'I wonder if she even knows what a human is?'. Fluttershy looks around your throat for about a minute more and finally steps back. "Oh my! I think your vocal cords are a bit damaged, some tea and rest will help it heal it faster. If you want some tea that is," You nod and she trots off for the kitchen. As she leaves Twilight begins to walk towards. "May I?" You nod as you open your mouth and a flash of purple blinds you. Your throat begins to itch and you cough. *cough**cough*"What was that?" Suprised that Twilight fixed your speech so quickly and the fact that you spoke. Your voice was a bit raspy though. "Ah, good. It worked. Do you feel well enough to answer some questions now?" You nod yes as you wouldn't want to disappoint a magical talking pony. "Great lets get started, what is your name?" as she takes out a note pad and quill with her magic "No.....Anon" "So Anon, what is your species called?" "We call ourselves Humans" "Interesting, do you know why you were falling from the sky?" "No. I cant recall anything leading up to the fall" "Ok, now are you a threat to any of the inhabitants of Equestria, the country you're currently in?" Wow! She was really blunt with that. Not even 5 questions in and she already thinks you're going to kill everyone here. Can't blame her. "No" "Thank you for answering my questions, even while it looks like you're in a lot of pain. But as an intelligent creature like yourself you can understand that we cannot trust you fully. You are the first of your kind to enter this land and we don't know what your intentions are. You seem like a nice person but we cannot trust you just based on that. I would like for you to meet me at my castle once you are well rested so we can discuss further. Oh! In my excitement I forgot to introduce you to Rainbow Dash, the person who got you out of the lake." "Heya, names Rainbow Dash. No need to thank me for saving you, buuuuuut that only means you owe me a favor." "Dash!" "What? I was only kidding!" You giggle, they are all so innocent just like you remember. "Thank you Rainbow Dash. Twilight, I understand completely. Once I heal up I will make it to your castle immediately." Its funny because now you are the alien, in a foreign land. Only now you won't kill everything you see. You shudder as memories of battles with "Them" flood your mind. You quickly brush it off. "I'm glad to hear you understand. FlutterShy here will take care of you as she is great at taking care of all creatures. You will also be visited by a couple of doctors to see if anything is broken." "Thank you so much Twilight, it really means a lot to me. I am only a stranger but you still treat me like you would a friend." "Don't worry about it. I have to go as I have some errands to run, but Rainbow Dash will stay here to lend FlutterShy a hand." And so she leaves to do whatever she needs to do right now. FlutterShy walks back in with your tea and walks past Rainbow Dash still in the doorway. Rainbow Dash says something about stretching and shes out the door flying away. "They both left so quickly! Oh well, heres your tea. Sorry for the wait." "Its ok" "Oh! You can talk now! Well the tea will help with the soreness. If there is anything else you need, don't be afraid to ask" "Thank you, I'm good for now. I think once i'm done with this tea I'll just go to sleep" "Ok, I'll be around so call if you need me" She walks outside and you reach for your tea on a table next to you. Jeez, that hurts! I thought I was bruised but I think something broken. Anyways the tea is still on your mind. WOW! You never liked tea but this was different! It was perfect! Quickly drinking it, you regret it because now its all gone. Oh well. Time for sleep. Today went better than expected. A Letter to Celestia Dear Princess Celestia, The being that landed in the lake discovered by Rainbow Dash seems to be friendly and poses no harm to ponies in his current injured state. Calling himself Anon, he is human and by his looks, he seemed to have had quite the journey. He looks to be very tired and stressed but also very young. He has agreed to meet me at my castle to answer more questions once his injuries heal. I will report my findings on this unknown creature after we meet. Your faithful princess, Twilight Sparkle Author's Note Im very sorry about how everything is formatted but I hope to get better at this soon(This is actually my first time doing this). Feedback is greatly appreciated, Good or Bad it can help me improve. If you like the idea behind the story I will create the next chapter completely on the back story and what exactly happened on earth. I can Imagine it clearly but it just takes thought to get the right words. Hopefully if it's well received, I will create the next chapter as quickly as possible, but I really want it to go in depth and be long so you can get immersed in the universe i'm trying to create. MemoriesWith the tea Fluttershy gave you finished, you let your mind wander. What will happen next, will they accept me to live in Ponyville, will they like me? But like always you cant help but to recall the events of the last few years. With this thought in your head you fall asleep. "Mom! I'm home!" Anon said just coming home from school. "Como fue en esquela hoy?" (How was it at school today?) "Good, nothing much happened today though," Anon was going to a technical school for Video Game Design, this was his first year. He always wanted to create worlds and stories people could enjoy and VGD was one way of going about it. Something about making others happy, made him feel better about himself. "Anon, did you see the news? There is something coming from space" "What is it? Did they say? Is it big?" "No, it's small but the news people say it isn't going fast so don't worry about it" "Yea it will burn up on entry Mom. Don't worry about it, this always happens. Things always go towards the Earth like asteroids and burn up when they enter Earth's atmosphere." "Alright Anon, I got scared that it was going to do something. You know I think things from space are scary" "Yep. I'm going to go to my room now, what are we eating today?" "Pollo Guisado" "Great, later Mom" 3 hours later 6:00 PM EST "ANON!!!" Your Mom's scream rips you from your chair you were playing GTA Online from. You rush into the living room to see her standing in front of the TV. "MOM! What happened?" She's pointing at the TV with the news on, the headline reads "Breaking News: Extraterrestrial ship lands in remote region in Russia." "You thinks this is real?" asks Mom. "Maybe, if it is then we better hope they are friendly. Also that the Russian government doesn't do anything stupid" Hours pass by as you and your family are glued to the TV. News stations everywhere are reporting on this event, but can't get a clear picture of this spacecraft as the governments are restricting access to the area. Even the White House starts to broadcast, letting you know that this isn't a joke. President Obama is walking up to a podium in the middle of a long hallway and begins to speak. "My fellow Americans, as you all may know there has been a landing of a UFO in Russia near Pokrovsk. We as a government cannot keep this a secret. This is the first time the World has encountered beings from space. Many of you may be scared, worried about your family's safety. We have contacted many other governments including the Russian government to help establish first contact. They have all agreed to settle aside any and all differences for the time being in order to deal with this issue. We will ensure that in the event that they are hostile, they will be eliminated quickly. The safety of the people of Earth is top priority for all governments, and we will stop at nothing to ensure that. We will have news affiliates of CNN and BBC to record this momentous occasion. Please keep calm and stay with your families for the time being, and we will broadcast any news as it comes in. Thank You." And with that, the local news station is back on and talking about what the President said. You turn to your family to see that your older sister has come over with her son and boyfriend. "Guys I don't think we should stay here," you say to everyone. "Why Anon? Are you scared?" said your sister carrying her baby. "No I'm not, its just that if things do go bad that we should go somewhere remote. Like with Mom's family in Guatemala." "Anon, you know we don't have the money for everyone right now. Let's all just stay here and wait. There is nothing else we can do right now," your step-father says You nod your head. He is right, it was a stupid idea anyways. The family goes to the kitchen to call their families, concerned that they are worried about them. You go to your room to call your only true friend and dad. They both don't really care and say it will be over soon. More hours pass as the house is still active watching the news for any updates. Nothing. You decide to go to sleep and see if anything has changed in the morning. A pounding at your door wakes you, it's you sister's boyfriend. "Anon, you got to see this! They attacked!" You immediately wake up rushing to the living room. As you walk in, you see even more people showed up. Your step-father's family has showed up and nearly the whole house has filled up. It's a small house. You look to the TV to see what happened. The camera is shaking as blasts from tanks and gunfire from the American and Russian armies. All fire is concentrated on a small point in the distance. The camera pans to the side to reveal a blast crater in the line of tanks. The Earth looked shiny in that area, which tells you it was a high temperature blast. "How did this happen?" you ask to everyone. "Well when the ship finally opened and the Aliens came out, the people who were going to greet them were shot on site. All on live TV, at least the kids didn't see. Then the tanks started firing and the Aliens fired back with blue beams. A beam hit a tank, and it instantly exploded and vaporized." said your sister's boyfriend. "So that is what caused that crater?" you reply. "Yea, it was quite violent." As he said that, you glance over to the TV only to see a blue beam going straight for the camera. Not a second later the broadcast ends. You turn to your family to see their faces of fear. Fear of a seemingly indestructible foe. Your mother starts to cry and runs to her room, your step-father follows her to comfort her. Why? Why did they start to attack? Will there be more? If there are more, can you, your family, and the human race survive? These questions and more like them flood your mind. Then you realize, what if the Army can't stop them in Russia. Will you fight? If it means a chance of taking them out and saving your family and friends then yes! A week goes by with nothing but news of the fighting in Russia. We are losing, badly. Nearly 50,000 Troops have died to 10 Aliens. You never see them, only reports of loss to them. They haven't moved from their spot for some reason. Maybe waiting for their mother-ship. You hope not and if 10 of them can do this, then you don't want to know what 100,000 of them can do. Life has been on a stand still since they attacked. No one goes out, to school, or to work. The family who was here the first day has left for their own home. Your sister stays with you guys, you can tell she is scared shitless. Nothing but silence in the house, everyone occupied with their one thing. You keep on playing Video games like always, Halo being off limits now. The threat is real now. The next day is more eventful, you literally shit your pants. A large space ship the size of a small city appears over Russia, right over the Aliens landing spot. No.... no no no no no NO NO NO!!! Why now! We haven't even mastered space flight, let alone have technology to fight a race of aliens who seem indestructible! What comes next is no surprise, a draft of all ready and able men and women. Who will be exempt from this, you hope everyone you know are. An officer shows up at your door not only 2 hours after the announcement. You answer the door. "I am looking for a Mr Anon S Cabrera," said the officer with a great, commanding voice. Your mother bursts through the door, knocking you to your feet. "Por favor senor, no puedes a garar mi Anon-sito! Es mi vida!" (Please Sir, you can't take my Anon! He is my life!) "I am sorry ma'am there is nothing I can do. The human race is at war with a deadly alien race and we need all the men we can get. Don't worry, he will be in safe hands. Now where is he?" You raise your hand from the floor and begin to speak. "Here sir!" "Then get up soldier, you got a war to fight!" After he says that your mother becomes hysterical, running to the kitchen. You look at the officer with a stare of pure anger. "Do you think I give a fuck, the world is in danger and we need more able men. Now get your ass in that truck!" he said pointing to a truck parked outside your house. Why go door to door getting people who were drafted? Seems terribly inefficient. "Can I go say bye to my family?" "Make it quick! No more than 1 minuet!" You run to your family in the kitchen who were comforting your mother "Guys, I got to go now. I know it will be tough but I will come back, I promise....." and with that you run to the truck. You decide it is best to not let it get too emotional. In the military truck there are people from the age of 16 to 30. All to face a new enemy, some are excited, and others look depressed. The excited ones are probably call of duty fags, they don't even know what they are in for. You don't either but you know it will be hell. Wait, why were the other males in the other house taken? Don't think about it, they are going to be safe. The truck arrives at the Airport to take you Fort Benning for basic. Wonder how that will be? Hell. Hell is the only word to describe it. It was quicker than the usual 9 weeks, 4 weeks to be exact. It was hard, harder than anything you have done before. Granted you haven't done anything before that was too strenuous. Surprisingly you did pretty well. You didn't want to make any friends as they would probably be killed. You always preferred to be a loner anyways. It was finally over, and you were to get orders on where you were stationed later that day. Protecting the East coast! Stationed in Camp Edwards for the National Guard. At least it won't be the front lines and I hope this place doesn't become it. You arrive to see a bustling base, you wonder what you will do here. You are assigned to protect civilians who are being evacuated to bunkers away from the coast. In the month you were at basic, the enemy has advanced to china, leaving Russia to be completely destroyed. All of the worlds countries had their armies trying to keep them at bay. Nothing worked to stop them, only delay their movements. You have heard that they can be killed, but it takes an A-10 Warthog to take one out. Only one, one out of several thousand, Nuclear warheads have been used but they have found a way to deactivate them mid flight. 'I bet the worlds scientists have been working to create weapons to combat them, wonder when they will reveal them?' you think to yourself as you continue to watch all the people in a line driving westward. You are in some town in Mass and you have been at this for at least 3 weeks. It doesn't matter how long, as long as the enemy isn't here this is good enough for you. Still no friends, your schedule now is Protect, eat, sleep, repeat, no time for friends. Nothing much too it, there have been a few incidents of riots but those are quickly dispersed. Still, you wished that this would end now, you only want peace and quiet. How is your family? They are safe, probably in the middle of the US. That is for the best. It has been 3 months, the enemy has been stopped at Spain and the West Coast of the US. They say the death count of the human race is 2.1 billion, China contributing to most of that number. Like you said, the armies of the world have been equipped with new laser weaponry, reversed engineered from Alien tech. Word around the base is that we are to get prototype power armor within the next month. You hope that is true, anything we can get will be of great help. Everyone has been evacuated to the inner US and now you just wait at the base for orders. None yet. The shipment of the new LR-003 laser rifle has finally arrived and you and half the base are getting training to use them. All that is shown is how to reload, nothing else is different from other rifles. The look of it is strange, looks almost like a forerunner weapon from Halo. Guess someone had fun designing it. After that, nothing else happens, absolutely nothing. For about 4 months that is. They broke what came to be know as Humanities last line. War was coming, and fast. "Attention! Humanities last line has been broken! All personnel are to report to their assigned debriefing buildings to receive orders. Attentio......." It has finally happened. You are going to get into your first battle. You gear up and run to your assigned debriefing building. There are so many branches here that they had to make whole buildings to debrief their respective corps. You were going to the Infantry building, it was bigger than the rest due to the demand for infantry. You sit in a large auditorium, it isn't the most inviting place but not like you could just leave. A general walks up to the stage, you salute as does the rest of the crowd. "At ease," the man says to everyone "The situation we are in today is dire. The enemy has destroyed everything in its path and is on its way to our door step. We have tried our best in Spain but their technology is far to great. Although we have acquired their weaponry, they still pose a great threat to our dying race. As we speak, the remaining forces and civilians from Europe are being Evacuated to the safe zone in the US. We estimate there to be at least 1 million people to be arriving. A small number compared to the billions that were living there. Our task is to see to it that all civilians and wounded are taken to the bunkers. All able humans will reinforce us as we make our final stand. SHOW THOSE ALIEN FUCKERS WHAT THE HUMAN RACE IS CAPABLE OF! MOVE OUT!" The debriefing ended and everyone poured out. Outside is a scene of controlled chaos, but you move quickly to your assigned transport area. You enter a troop transport truck bound for a fortified port to welcome the remaining humans from Europe. The ride was quick and everyone rushed out to help the others prepare for what is to come. You are assigned to overlook the sea with your rifle and cover any human ships under fire. The ships are due to come in two days and those days are spent helping the get the port ready for battle. It was morning and you were looking towards the horizon of the sea. The sun has barely made it into view and already you can see its beauty and feel its warmth. Standing close to the water, you look down to see the calmness of the sea. It's odd as around the world people are dying and you are just standing here admiring nature. An alarm startles you, fully waking you up and nearly causing you to fall into the water. You know this means that the ships are close and you need to get to work. It's going to be a long day. Standing guard near the waters edge you await the million people due to arrive. You look at the horizon to see a ship with a slight glow coming from it. You stand firm knowing that the enemy could be following closely behind but something isn't right. A fleet should be following the first ship but only the Carrier is visible. As it comes closer to the port you realize that the glow was the deck of the ship on fire. An announcement is made over the speakers. "All personnel, all other ships have been destroyed. Enemy is over 100 miles out and closing in fast. All assigned to assist wounded and civilians are reassigned to protect the port and stop invading forces...... All personnel on high alert! Incoming enemy tactical laser strike!" Within a second, you feel a force push you into the air and an intense heat overwhelming you. The blast pushed you into a nearby building, knocking you out instantly. Why is the human race being attacked like this? Why do we all have to die like this? Did we deserve this? You finally wake up with a cold sweat, the dream really got to you. Reliving the past is something you hate, as it brings terrible images to your head you always try to forget. It's dark outside and you can hear crickets chirping away. It's nice to finally hear them again, their sound always soothed you. Not tonight, you don't want to go back to sleep after this. You just lay there staring at the ceiling, listening but not really thinking. Spaced out and oblivious to anything else around you, even Fluttershy standing at the top of the stairs looking down at you. She isn't doing anything but staring but after a while you snap back to reality. You look at her and she quickly runs back upstairs, making an audible 'EEEP' as she ran. You chuckle, they are just too cute. You still can't believe that you are here, far from any worries. Now, back to spacing out. Fluttershy rushes into Rainbow Dash's room, turning on the light as he enters. "Soo....." Rainbow Dash says, "What was it doing?" "Dash! That is rude calling him an 'it' and he was just looking at the ceiling." "Huh. Then what was all that mumbling I heard then?" "Maybe he was dreaming and woke up when I got there." "I dunno about this thing Flutters, do you think it's safe to keep around?" "Yea, don't worry about it. He is hurt and he needs to be taken care of. I won't let him go unless he is nice and healthy." "But, nobody has seen anything like it! What if it can shoot lasers from its eyes and instantly heal? Who knows what it can do!" "Well that is why Twilight told you to stay with me. He seems nice enough, and that is enough for me to trust him." "Fine. Well I'm going to sleep now. Night Flutters." "Goodnight Rainbow Dash" Author's Note Well finally got this done! Tell me if you guys like it. Feel free to make suggestions. I know it's rough around the edges but it can't be helped right now. Hopefully as the story progresses, I will become better. Thanks to all who support me! It really means a lot! Doctor's VisitLast night wasn't too bad, you have had worse like the time you spent a whole night fighting those Aliens. They stopped messing with you for a while after that. The sound of hooves grabs your attention, it's Fluttershy coming straight for you. The grin she is giving you is heartwarming, like a ray of sunshine piercing your heart with kindness. "Good morning Anon," she said with her calming voice. "Would you like anything to eat? I have no idea what your species eats but I do have lots of fruits and vegetables. Would you like any?" "Actually," you reply, "I'm an omnivore so I am good with anything. But I haven't had fruit in a long time, any fruit is fine." "Alright then, I'll bring you some apples if that is fine with you. They are really good, my friend Applejack grows them and she only picks the best." "That's great, I'll take it. Thank you." "I'll be right back then. Oh! I forgot to tell you but the doctors are going to be here in a little. They should be able to heal anything pretty quick." With that she walks off to the kitchen, she is so nice to someone who has only known you for a couple of hours. Well she is the Element of Kindness. What about the rest of the Mane six? Will they like you? Maybe, they all seem to be really kind from what you remember of the show. Just please let Pinkie be as happy and crazy as she was in the show. She really influenced the way you lived for a while, trying to spread happiness and laughter to others. That is when there was 'others' to spread it to. "I'm back. Here you go," Fluttershy says handing you a plate of sliced apples. You reach towards the plate only to notice your hand is awfully shaky. Fluttershy notices this and pulls the plate back. "A-are you alright? You don't seem very well, are you hurting?" "Yea i'm alright, it just seems to be from shock from the fall or something," you reply and reach for the apples once more. She cautiously gives the to you, watching to see that you were truly alright. With the plate in hand you put an apple in your mouth, the taste is overwhelmingly good. Your eyes widen from this and Fluttershy takes notice. "What's wrong? Are they bad?" she says with a very concerned tone. "They are the BEST apples I've had in a long time! I am really surprised! I've never had anything taste this good but from my Mom's cooking, and that's saying something!" as you say this, you down the rest of the apple slices. "I'm really glad. You really had me worried! I thought you hated the apples, Applejack would have really hated herself for picking bad apples." "Thank you Fluttershy, that was great! I'm actually full now, can't really believe it only took one apple." As you finish saying that, someone knocks on the door. "Excuse me," Fluttershy says as she turns around. She opens the door to reveal one unicorn doctor and two earth pony nurses. They say hello to Fluttershy and walk in, making their way to your couch. "Hello Mr Anon," says the Doctor. "My name is Doctor Horse and I'm here to check up on you. From what I heard you had a pretty nasty fall. Let's see is anything is broken. Now it may take me a while but I have to get used to your physiology in order to not damage anything further. I will have to put you to sleep to examine you extensively if that is fine with you." "That's fine, just don't cut me open too much" you say jokingly. Thankfully it looks like he picked up on the joke. "Well as long as you cooperate then I won't. Don't worry it will be quick and painless. Goodnight Mr. Anon...." With that you fall asleep. Being put under is weird, like time slows down and speeds up at the same time. You can hear people talking in the distance but what they're saying is a mystery. Blobs of color and darkness is all you can see, but you know you aren't dreaming. An unknown amount of time passes and you begin to awaken. Something isn't right, you are laying on dirt on top of a hill. Where are you? You start to regain your senses and realize what is happening. The hill is overlooking a ditch not to far, this is familiar. You look more closely into the ditch and see a group of figures sprawled across it, they are humans! You focus more on the one closest to you, it's bloody and the face on it brings you horror. Your eyes widen and you yell a blood curdling scream. "MOOOOM!!!!" Your eyes readjust to reveal that you are back on your couch in Fluttershy's cottage. Everyone is looking at you, Fluttershy, The doctor and his nurses, and Rainbow Dash. Tears run down your eyes and you are hyperventilating. Did they hear you? Clearly, they are all far from you. "What happened?" you ask. "We were finishing fixing you up and were about to release the spell to wake you up. Then you yelled for your mother and awoke to what you see now." said the doctor, he seemed very concerned and scared. You know you yelled at the top of your lungs but didn't realized it was that loud. "I'm sorry. It was just a bad dream, nothing else." "Seemed like a really scary one at that," said Rainbow Dash. "Well we are done with fixing all your wounds," said one of the nurses "you should be good to walk in five days time." "Was it bad?" you saw wiping away your tears. "No, just a couple of fractured bones, far from what we expected from a fall like this." "Well that's good. Will I be able to go see Twilight soon?" "I recommend you rest for about a day before attempting anything." "Alright, how about this bathing issue?" You actually haven't taken a bath for about half a year. The soak you had when coming here really took away any smells you had but you still need a proper shower. "Bathing is fine but just don't stand on your hind legs." "Oh! These things at the end of my legs are called feet. And these," you say holding up your hand " are hands." "That's good to know." She quickly pulls out a notepad and pencil and quickly jots down a few things and puts it back into the saddle bag she pulled it out from. "Well we are done for today, we can't give you any medicine for the pain for now as we don't know the effects it will have on your body. We are sorry but we are sure Fluttershy here can do her best to comfort you as best she can. We would like for you to come by to the hospital in two weeks for a check-up and to get more data." "Sure! But what do you mean about data?" "Well seeing as you are a new species to appear in Equestria, we would like data about your species physiology for historical records." "Seems reasonable, will do." All the hospital staff say their goodbyes and are out the door. You don't care what they did to you in your sleep, you feel way better now. They actually healed some injuries from Earth! They really are good! Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash both turn to you looking like they have some questions to ask. "Umm.. Anon?" Fluttershy starts, "What.." "What the HAY was that 'MOOOOM!' thing about anyways" Rainbow Dash asks, interrupting Fluttershy. "I mean that really scared all the other ponies, except me. Nothing ever scares me." "I already told you it was just a bad dream. Lets not talk about it now, alright?" "Fine," Rainbow dash said with an annoyed tone. She motions to Fluttershy to follow her, they move outside. Despite moving outside you can still clearly hear them. They are talking about you. "See!" Rainbow dash starts "I told you! He is hiding something, and I think we should find a way to get rid of..." "Dashie! How could you say that! He said it was just a dream! And even if it wasn't a dream, it shows he isn't out to hurt anypony. Somepony who wants to hurt things usually isn't worried about their mother. He probably misses her, all alone and hurt in some strange place. That shows that we need to help him even more as he is probably really scared right now." "Uhhhggg, fine I'll play nice for now. But if he does anything suspicious, I'm planting my hoof straight into his face." They walk back inside, they both walk past you, both nervously smiling. Little to their knowledge, you heard everything thanks to your good hearing. You know why she is so concerned, an alien arriving to her town. She fears for all he friends, you know the feeling all too well. You have to confront her to remove the tension sooner or later. Maybe later when she feels more comfortable with you, better give her some space for now. All of this is too much for you, you need a good sleep with no nightmares preferably. Maybe Luna could help you with that. Wait? Did Luna see the dream you had last night? Well if she did, there is nothing that can be done now. You are tired so you don't care right now. Your eyes become more heavy and the familiar calmness takes you. The dreams you have are of happy memories, ones of your mother hugging you, taking you to the park, and the time spent just sitting and talking with her. Overall a good night with plenty of sleep.
The Drop3 years..... 3 Years of endless suffering, lost loved ones, lost friends, lost memories, lost everything. It all happened so fast, like it was a dream. The first contact we get from an intelligent species and they are hostile. They seemed to only want blood, not only ours, but the blood of all creatures of earth. All was lost and everything Man has struggled to create, was destroyed. The last human you saw was about a year ago, their face was of one who had their humanity stripped. Like a hollow from Dark souls, a game you loved so much. Loneliness consumed you, you never even had a girlfriend, and that only fueled the lust for companionship. You hid from the invaders as best you could but you knew that one day, they will find you. And so they did but the what happened, became a blur like the trauma of seeing them was too much for you to handle. But now, there was only darkness. Are you dead? Is this what death is like? You see light, feel the warmth, and feel the happiness. You didn't believe in God and the afterlife, but hoped you were wrong for the sake of others. The light was getting stronger and the heat was more intense, you hadn't felt that in years as the sun was blocked from all the ash on Earth. Driven to see your family once more and to finally be at peace, you tried to go toward the light faster. But this feels strange? Like this isn't how you get to Heaven. "Wait!!!? Am I falling?" you think as more of your senses kick in. The wind blowing heavily in your face. The smell of trees and the outdoors. Wait? Trees!?!? Something's very off. Earth was scorched into ash and you don't fall to heaven!? Well its a win win situation, you survive the fall and see what awaits you in this new world. Or you die on impact and see your family. Unless this is hell! But hell doesn't have trees, or you don't think so. Back to the problem at hand, your falling, and fast! With nothing else to do you decide to have fun, you never went sky diving and this probably the last chance you get at this. A couple of front flips here and a couple rolls there. You are genuinely having fun, the first feeling of happiness in many years. In your bliss, you don't see the ground closing in, and the awfully close cloud layer. Still enjoying yourself, you turn around and fall with you back towards the ground, unaware how close the clouds are to you. Immediately after you turn around, you lose your breath as you slam into the clouds on your back. Not realizing how hard these clouds are and damaging your back. Your descent is slowed down dramatically but still hitting the ground would probably kill you. The next sensation you feel catches you off guard, WATER!! Sinking deeper as your energy from the fall propels you downward. Not sure what to do as the pain from the impact with the clouds and water paralyzes you, you panic and flail you arms about, legs not responding. You feel a pull, weather it was up or down you can't tell, but you let it take you. It felt like minutes pass as you get dragged somewhere by something but then your sight begins to return. A light and a figure are in your vision, blurry as hell but they are there. And then, Air! Sweet ,Sweet Air! Gasping like a fish out of water(funny as you were just in the water), you begin to feel more tired. Something is talking but you don't listen as your body tells you to sleep, And so you do. You don't argue as you always loved sleep. Actually you can never get enough as you always feel tired when you wake up, now matter how long you slept for. In your sleep you hear more voices but everything is slightly muffled. You can only hear a few words and realize there are several voices. "I wonder what...." "I don't know....... hurt" "Oh, I hope......" "Don't worry F......... be fine. It just needs...." Their voices stop. But after what seems like an eternity, you wake up with pain all over. Like a switch, all you senses turn back on, light brighter than an atomic explosion from 40 miles away, a smell of a what you remember to be from a zoo. A slight Iron taste in your mouth and nothing but silence. As your vision returns you start to notice the things in the room you are in, the sofa which holds your injured body, Wooden furniture, bird cages, a rug in the middle of the room, Stairs next to you, and round windows. All you haven't seen since..... meh, doesn't matter right now. Which begs the question, where the hell are you? Can't be on Earth, too...... Alive, Heaven wouldn't have you in so much pain and hell, you'll be in much more pain. Then you realize, The Voices! They were familiar, but you can't quite fit your finger on it. That finger probably being broken from the impact with the water, but it still bugged you. You hear voices coming closer from a door which seems to lead to a kitchen, you eagerly await to see your saviors. But then a couple questions fill your mind, are they friendly, do they speak English? Idiot!!! They are speaking right now, of course the speak English. Then the voices come closer, and something comes out of the doorway. You can't tell what it is at first, but then it hits you like a train. A Hoof!! A purple hoof!!! The inner Brony in you is screaming at you in delight! Equestria! Ponies! Friendship! Magic! An end to your suffering! Peace! Your heart is pounding as you wonder who is at the door! Twilight Sparkle! Followed by Rainbow Dash and FlutterShy!!! Fucking FlutterShy!!! You visibly smile at them and cry a bit. Not because you see cartoon ponies, but because all your suffering will end and you are finally safe. The last of your kind(you think?), you survived extinction and this was your reward.But why you? Why not your friend, your nephew who wasn't even 3, your mom or dad, a random person who deserved it more than you.You don't dwell on this because you wouldn't want to sadden these pure creatures. Twilight approaches you and you mentally prepare yourself for a new onslaught, an onslaught of.... QUESTIONS!!!!! Dun Dun DUN!!!!! You laugh at yourself as even a couple hours(or you think so) in this world and your almost as happy as you were before the Attack from Mars.(Not Really) She Begins to talk. "Hi, My name is Twilight Sparkle. Do you understand our language?" "..." Your mouth opens but nothing comes out. Maybe because you haven't spoken in a really long time. So you nod. "Oh, it looks like you understand me but you can't speak. I need to ask you some questions about yourself which involve a spoken answer. Mind if my friend FlutterShy here takes a look to see if she can help you?" "T-thats if it's ok with you?" As you look to nod yes, you nearly have a heart attack from a cuteness overload. She approaches you to inspect your throat, which is weird, you thought she'd be more... shy. She softly grabs your head as you open your mouth and she looks down you throat. You look over as Rainbow Dash just watches from the doorway, like she never seen FlutterShy doing this. Actually it might be from seeing a human, 'I wonder if she even knows what a human is?'. Fluttershy looks around your throat for about a minute more and finally steps back. "Oh my! I think your vocal cords are a bit damaged, some tea and rest will help it heal it faster. If you want some tea that is," You nod and she trots off for the kitchen. As she leaves Twilight begins to walk towards. "May I?" You nod as you open your mouth and a flash of purple blinds you. Your throat begins to itch and you cough. *cough**cough*"What was that?" Suprised that Twilight fixed your speech so quickly and the fact that you spoke. Your voice was a bit raspy though. "Ah, good. It worked. Do you feel well enough to answer some questions now?" You nod yes as you wouldn't want to disappoint a magical talking pony. "Great lets get started, what is your name?" as she takes out a note pad and quill with her magic "No.....Anon" "So Anon, what is your species called?" "We call ourselves Humans" "Interesting, do you know why you were falling from the sky?" "No. I cant recall anything leading up to the fall" "Ok, now are you a threat to any of the inhabitants of Equestria, the country you're currently in?" Wow! She was really blunt with that. Not even 5 questions in and she already thinks you're going to kill everyone here. Can't blame her. "No" "Thank you for answering my questions, even while it looks like you're in a lot of pain. But as an intelligent creature like yourself you can understand that we cannot trust you fully. You are the first of your kind to enter this land and we don't know what your intentions are. You seem like a nice person but we cannot trust you just based on that. I would like for you to meet me at my castle once you are well rested so we can discuss further. Oh! In my excitement I forgot to introduce you to Rainbow Dash, the person who got you out of the lake." "Heya, names Rainbow Dash. No need to thank me for saving you, buuuuuut that only means you owe me a favor." "Dash!" "What? I was only kidding!" You giggle, they are all so innocent just like you remember. "Thank you Rainbow Dash. Twilight, I understand completely. Once I heal up I will make it to your castle immediately." Its funny because now you are the alien, in a foreign land. Only now you won't kill everything you see. You shudder as memories of battles with "Them" flood your mind. You quickly brush it off. "I'm glad to hear you understand. FlutterShy here will take care of you as she is great at taking care of all creatures. You will also be visited by a couple of doctors to see if anything is broken." "Thank you so much Twilight, it really means a lot to me. I am only a stranger but you still treat me like you would a friend." "Don't worry about it. I have to go as I have some errands to run, but Rainbow Dash will stay here to lend FlutterShy a hand." And so she leaves to do whatever she needs to do right now. FlutterShy walks back in with your tea and walks past Rainbow Dash still in the doorway. Rainbow Dash says something about stretching and shes out the door flying away. "They both left so quickly! Oh well, heres your tea. Sorry for the wait." "Its ok" "Oh! You can talk now! Well the tea will help with the soreness. If there is anything else you need, don't be afraid to ask" "Thank you, I'm good for now. I think once i'm done with this tea I'll just go to sleep" "Ok, I'll be around so call if you need me" She walks outside and you reach for your tea on a table next to you. Jeez, that hurts! I thought I was bruised but I think something broken. Anyways the tea is still on your mind. WOW! You never liked tea but this was different! It was perfect! Quickly drinking it, you regret it because now its all gone. Oh well. Time for sleep. Today went better than expected. A Letter to Celestia Dear Princess Celestia, The being that landed in the lake discovered by Rainbow Dash seems to be friendly and poses no harm to ponies in his current injured state. Calling himself Anon, he is human and by his looks, he seemed to have had quite the journey. He looks to be very tired and stressed but also very young. He has agreed to meet me at my castle to answer more questions once his injuries heal. I will report my findings on this unknown creature after we meet. Your faithful princess, Twilight Sparkle Author's Note Im very sorry about how everything is formatted but I hope to get better at this soon(This is actually my first time doing this). Feedback is greatly appreciated, Good or Bad it can help me improve. If you like the idea behind the story I will create the next chapter completely on the back story and what exactly happened on earth. I can Imagine it clearly but it just takes thought to get the right words. Hopefully if it's well received, I will create the next chapter as quickly as possible, but I really want it to go in depth and be long so you can get immersed in the universe i'm trying to create.
MemoriesWith the tea Fluttershy gave you finished, you let your mind wander. What will happen next, will they accept me to live in Ponyville, will they like me? But like always you cant help but to recall the events of the last few years. With this thought in your head you fall asleep. "Mom! I'm home!" Anon said just coming home from school. "Como fue en esquela hoy?" (How was it at school today?) "Good, nothing much happened today though," Anon was going to a technical school for Video Game Design, this was his first year. He always wanted to create worlds and stories people could enjoy and VGD was one way of going about it. Something about making others happy, made him feel better about himself. "Anon, did you see the news? There is something coming from space" "What is it? Did they say? Is it big?" "No, it's small but the news people say it isn't going fast so don't worry about it" "Yea it will burn up on entry Mom. Don't worry about it, this always happens. Things always go towards the Earth like asteroids and burn up when they enter Earth's atmosphere." "Alright Anon, I got scared that it was going to do something. You know I think things from space are scary" "Yep. I'm going to go to my room now, what are we eating today?" "Pollo Guisado" "Great, later Mom" 3 hours later 6:00 PM EST "ANON!!!" Your Mom's scream rips you from your chair you were playing GTA Online from. You rush into the living room to see her standing in front of the TV. "MOM! What happened?" She's pointing at the TV with the news on, the headline reads "Breaking News: Extraterrestrial ship lands in remote region in Russia." "You thinks this is real?" asks Mom. "Maybe, if it is then we better hope they are friendly. Also that the Russian government doesn't do anything stupid" Hours pass by as you and your family are glued to the TV. News stations everywhere are reporting on this event, but can't get a clear picture of this spacecraft as the governments are restricting access to the area. Even the White House starts to broadcast, letting you know that this isn't a joke. President Obama is walking up to a podium in the middle of a long hallway and begins to speak. "My fellow Americans, as you all may know there has been a landing of a UFO in Russia near Pokrovsk. We as a government cannot keep this a secret. This is the first time the World has encountered beings from space. Many of you may be scared, worried about your family's safety. We have contacted many other governments including the Russian government to help establish first contact. They have all agreed to settle aside any and all differences for the time being in order to deal with this issue. We will ensure that in the event that they are hostile, they will be eliminated quickly. The safety of the people of Earth is top priority for all governments, and we will stop at nothing to ensure that. We will have news affiliates of CNN and BBC to record this momentous occasion. Please keep calm and stay with your families for the time being, and we will broadcast any news as it comes in. Thank You." And with that, the local news station is back on and talking about what the President said. You turn to your family to see that your older sister has come over with her son and boyfriend. "Guys I don't think we should stay here," you say to everyone. "Why Anon? Are you scared?" said your sister carrying her baby. "No I'm not, its just that if things do go bad that we should go somewhere remote. Like with Mom's family in Guatemala." "Anon, you know we don't have the money for everyone right now. Let's all just stay here and wait. There is nothing else we can do right now," your step-father says You nod your head. He is right, it was a stupid idea anyways. The family goes to the kitchen to call their families, concerned that they are worried about them. You go to your room to call your only true friend and dad. They both don't really care and say it will be over soon. More hours pass as the house is still active watching the news for any updates. Nothing. You decide to go to sleep and see if anything has changed in the morning. A pounding at your door wakes you, it's you sister's boyfriend. "Anon, you got to see this! They attacked!" You immediately wake up rushing to the living room. As you walk in, you see even more people showed up. Your step-father's family has showed up and nearly the whole house has filled up. It's a small house. You look to the TV to see what happened. The camera is shaking as blasts from tanks and gunfire from the American and Russian armies. All fire is concentrated on a small point in the distance. The camera pans to the side to reveal a blast crater in the line of tanks. The Earth looked shiny in that area, which tells you it was a high temperature blast. "How did this happen?" you ask to everyone. "Well when the ship finally opened and the Aliens came out, the people who were going to greet them were shot on site. All on live TV, at least the kids didn't see. Then the tanks started firing and the Aliens fired back with blue beams. A beam hit a tank, and it instantly exploded and vaporized." said your sister's boyfriend. "So that is what caused that crater?" you reply. "Yea, it was quite violent." As he said that, you glance over to the TV only to see a blue beam going straight for the camera. Not a second later the broadcast ends. You turn to your family to see their faces of fear. Fear of a seemingly indestructible foe. Your mother starts to cry and runs to her room, your step-father follows her to comfort her. Why? Why did they start to attack? Will there be more? If there are more, can you, your family, and the human race survive? These questions and more like them flood your mind. Then you realize, what if the Army can't stop them in Russia. Will you fight? If it means a chance of taking them out and saving your family and friends then yes! A week goes by with nothing but news of the fighting in Russia. We are losing, badly. Nearly 50,000 Troops have died to 10 Aliens. You never see them, only reports of loss to them. They haven't moved from their spot for some reason. Maybe waiting for their mother-ship. You hope not and if 10 of them can do this, then you don't want to know what 100,000 of them can do. Life has been on a stand still since they attacked. No one goes out, to school, or to work. The family who was here the first day has left for their own home. Your sister stays with you guys, you can tell she is scared shitless. Nothing but silence in the house, everyone occupied with their one thing. You keep on playing Video games like always, Halo being off limits now. The threat is real now. The next day is more eventful, you literally shit your pants. A large space ship the size of a small city appears over Russia, right over the Aliens landing spot. No.... no no no no no NO NO NO!!! Why now! We haven't even mastered space flight, let alone have technology to fight a race of aliens who seem indestructible! What comes next is no surprise, a draft of all ready and able men and women. Who will be exempt from this, you hope everyone you know are. An officer shows up at your door not only 2 hours after the announcement. You answer the door. "I am looking for a Mr Anon S Cabrera," said the officer with a great, commanding voice. Your mother bursts through the door, knocking you to your feet. "Por favor senor, no puedes a garar mi Anon-sito! Es mi vida!" (Please Sir, you can't take my Anon! He is my life!) "I am sorry ma'am there is nothing I can do. The human race is at war with a deadly alien race and we need all the men we can get. Don't worry, he will be in safe hands. Now where is he?" You raise your hand from the floor and begin to speak. "Here sir!" "Then get up soldier, you got a war to fight!" After he says that your mother becomes hysterical, running to the kitchen. You look at the officer with a stare of pure anger. "Do you think I give a fuck, the world is in danger and we need more able men. Now get your ass in that truck!" he said pointing to a truck parked outside your house. Why go door to door getting people who were drafted? Seems terribly inefficient. "Can I go say bye to my family?" "Make it quick! No more than 1 minuet!" You run to your family in the kitchen who were comforting your mother "Guys, I got to go now. I know it will be tough but I will come back, I promise....." and with that you run to the truck. You decide it is best to not let it get too emotional. In the military truck there are people from the age of 16 to 30. All to face a new enemy, some are excited, and others look depressed. The excited ones are probably call of duty fags, they don't even know what they are in for. You don't either but you know it will be hell. Wait, why were the other males in the other house taken? Don't think about it, they are going to be safe. The truck arrives at the Airport to take you Fort Benning for basic. Wonder how that will be? Hell. Hell is the only word to describe it. It was quicker than the usual 9 weeks, 4 weeks to be exact. It was hard, harder than anything you have done before. Granted you haven't done anything before that was too strenuous. Surprisingly you did pretty well. You didn't want to make any friends as they would probably be killed. You always preferred to be a loner anyways. It was finally over, and you were to get orders on where you were stationed later that day. Protecting the East coast! Stationed in Camp Edwards for the National Guard. At least it won't be the front lines and I hope this place doesn't become it. You arrive to see a bustling base, you wonder what you will do here. You are assigned to protect civilians who are being evacuated to bunkers away from the coast. In the month you were at basic, the enemy has advanced to china, leaving Russia to be completely destroyed. All of the worlds countries had their armies trying to keep them at bay. Nothing worked to stop them, only delay their movements. You have heard that they can be killed, but it takes an A-10 Warthog to take one out. Only one, one out of several thousand, Nuclear warheads have been used but they have found a way to deactivate them mid flight. 'I bet the worlds scientists have been working to create weapons to combat them, wonder when they will reveal them?' you think to yourself as you continue to watch all the people in a line driving westward. You are in some town in Mass and you have been at this for at least 3 weeks. It doesn't matter how long, as long as the enemy isn't here this is good enough for you. Still no friends, your schedule now is Protect, eat, sleep, repeat, no time for friends. Nothing much too it, there have been a few incidents of riots but those are quickly dispersed. Still, you wished that this would end now, you only want peace and quiet. How is your family? They are safe, probably in the middle of the US. That is for the best. It has been 3 months, the enemy has been stopped at Spain and the West Coast of the US. They say the death count of the human race is 2.1 billion, China contributing to most of that number. Like you said, the armies of the world have been equipped with new laser weaponry, reversed engineered from Alien tech. Word around the base is that we are to get prototype power armor within the next month. You hope that is true, anything we can get will be of great help. Everyone has been evacuated to the inner US and now you just wait at the base for orders. None yet. The shipment of the new LR-003 laser rifle has finally arrived and you and half the base are getting training to use them. All that is shown is how to reload, nothing else is different from other rifles. The look of it is strange, looks almost like a forerunner weapon from Halo. Guess someone had fun designing it. After that, nothing else happens, absolutely nothing. For about 4 months that is. They broke what came to be know as Humanities last line. War was coming, and fast. "Attention! Humanities last line has been broken! All personnel are to report to their assigned debriefing buildings to receive orders. Attentio......." It has finally happened. You are going to get into your first battle. You gear up and run to your assigned debriefing building. There are so many branches here that they had to make whole buildings to debrief their respective corps. You were going to the Infantry building, it was bigger than the rest due to the demand for infantry. You sit in a large auditorium, it isn't the most inviting place but not like you could just leave. A general walks up to the stage, you salute as does the rest of the crowd. "At ease," the man says to everyone "The situation we are in today is dire. The enemy has destroyed everything in its path and is on its way to our door step. We have tried our best in Spain but their technology is far to great. Although we have acquired their weaponry, they still pose a great threat to our dying race. As we speak, the remaining forces and civilians from Europe are being Evacuated to the safe zone in the US. We estimate there to be at least 1 million people to be arriving. A small number compared to the billions that were living there. Our task is to see to it that all civilians and wounded are taken to the bunkers. All able humans will reinforce us as we make our final stand. SHOW THOSE ALIEN FUCKERS WHAT THE HUMAN RACE IS CAPABLE OF! MOVE OUT!" The debriefing ended and everyone poured out. Outside is a scene of controlled chaos, but you move quickly to your assigned transport area. You enter a troop transport truck bound for a fortified port to welcome the remaining humans from Europe. The ride was quick and everyone rushed out to help the others prepare for what is to come. You are assigned to overlook the sea with your rifle and cover any human ships under fire. The ships are due to come in two days and those days are spent helping the get the port ready for battle. It was morning and you were looking towards the horizon of the sea. The sun has barely made it into view and already you can see its beauty and feel its warmth. Standing close to the water, you look down to see the calmness of the sea. It's odd as around the world people are dying and you are just standing here admiring nature. An alarm startles you, fully waking you up and nearly causing you to fall into the water. You know this means that the ships are close and you need to get to work. It's going to be a long day. Standing guard near the waters edge you await the million people due to arrive. You look at the horizon to see a ship with a slight glow coming from it. You stand firm knowing that the enemy could be following closely behind but something isn't right. A fleet should be following the first ship but only the Carrier is visible. As it comes closer to the port you realize that the glow was the deck of the ship on fire. An announcement is made over the speakers. "All personnel, all other ships have been destroyed. Enemy is over 100 miles out and closing in fast. All assigned to assist wounded and civilians are reassigned to protect the port and stop invading forces...... All personnel on high alert! Incoming enemy tactical laser strike!" Within a second, you feel a force push you into the air and an intense heat overwhelming you. The blast pushed you into a nearby building, knocking you out instantly. Why is the human race being attacked like this? Why do we all have to die like this? Did we deserve this? You finally wake up with a cold sweat, the dream really got to you. Reliving the past is something you hate, as it brings terrible images to your head you always try to forget. It's dark outside and you can hear crickets chirping away. It's nice to finally hear them again, their sound always soothed you. Not tonight, you don't want to go back to sleep after this. You just lay there staring at the ceiling, listening but not really thinking. Spaced out and oblivious to anything else around you, even Fluttershy standing at the top of the stairs looking down at you. She isn't doing anything but staring but after a while you snap back to reality. You look at her and she quickly runs back upstairs, making an audible 'EEEP' as she ran. You chuckle, they are just too cute. You still can't believe that you are here, far from any worries. Now, back to spacing out. Fluttershy rushes into Rainbow Dash's room, turning on the light as he enters. "Soo....." Rainbow Dash says, "What was it doing?" "Dash! That is rude calling him an 'it' and he was just looking at the ceiling." "Huh. Then what was all that mumbling I heard then?" "Maybe he was dreaming and woke up when I got there." "I dunno about this thing Flutters, do you think it's safe to keep around?" "Yea, don't worry about it. He is hurt and he needs to be taken care of. I won't let him go unless he is nice and healthy." "But, nobody has seen anything like it! What if it can shoot lasers from its eyes and instantly heal? Who knows what it can do!" "Well that is why Twilight told you to stay with me. He seems nice enough, and that is enough for me to trust him." "Fine. Well I'm going to sleep now. Night Flutters." "Goodnight Rainbow Dash" Author's Note Well finally got this done! Tell me if you guys like it. Feel free to make suggestions. I know it's rough around the edges but it can't be helped right now. Hopefully as the story progresses, I will become better. Thanks to all who support me! It really means a lot!
Doctor's VisitLast night wasn't too bad, you have had worse like the time you spent a whole night fighting those Aliens. They stopped messing with you for a while after that. The sound of hooves grabs your attention, it's Fluttershy coming straight for you. The grin she is giving you is heartwarming, like a ray of sunshine piercing your heart with kindness. "Good morning Anon," she said with her calming voice. "Would you like anything to eat? I have no idea what your species eats but I do have lots of fruits and vegetables. Would you like any?" "Actually," you reply, "I'm an omnivore so I am good with anything. But I haven't had fruit in a long time, any fruit is fine." "Alright then, I'll bring you some apples if that is fine with you. They are really good, my friend Applejack grows them and she only picks the best." "That's great, I'll take it. Thank you." "I'll be right back then. Oh! I forgot to tell you but the doctors are going to be here in a little. They should be able to heal anything pretty quick." With that she walks off to the kitchen, she is so nice to someone who has only known you for a couple of hours. Well she is the Element of Kindness. What about the rest of the Mane six? Will they like you? Maybe, they all seem to be really kind from what you remember of the show. Just please let Pinkie be as happy and crazy as she was in the show. She really influenced the way you lived for a while, trying to spread happiness and laughter to others. That is when there was 'others' to spread it to. "I'm back. Here you go," Fluttershy says handing you a plate of sliced apples. You reach towards the plate only to notice your hand is awfully shaky. Fluttershy notices this and pulls the plate back. "A-are you alright? You don't seem very well, are you hurting?" "Yea i'm alright, it just seems to be from shock from the fall or something," you reply and reach for the apples once more. She cautiously gives the to you, watching to see that you were truly alright. With the plate in hand you put an apple in your mouth, the taste is overwhelmingly good. Your eyes widen from this and Fluttershy takes notice. "What's wrong? Are they bad?" she says with a very concerned tone. "They are the BEST apples I've had in a long time! I am really surprised! I've never had anything taste this good but from my Mom's cooking, and that's saying something!" as you say this, you down the rest of the apple slices. "I'm really glad. You really had me worried! I thought you hated the apples, Applejack would have really hated herself for picking bad apples." "Thank you Fluttershy, that was great! I'm actually full now, can't really believe it only took one apple." As you finish saying that, someone knocks on the door. "Excuse me," Fluttershy says as she turns around. She opens the door to reveal one unicorn doctor and two earth pony nurses. They say hello to Fluttershy and walk in, making their way to your couch. "Hello Mr Anon," says the Doctor. "My name is Doctor Horse and I'm here to check up on you. From what I heard you had a pretty nasty fall. Let's see is anything is broken. Now it may take me a while but I have to get used to your physiology in order to not damage anything further. I will have to put you to sleep to examine you extensively if that is fine with you." "That's fine, just don't cut me open too much" you say jokingly. Thankfully it looks like he picked up on the joke. "Well as long as you cooperate then I won't. Don't worry it will be quick and painless. Goodnight Mr. Anon...." With that you fall asleep. Being put under is weird, like time slows down and speeds up at the same time. You can hear people talking in the distance but what they're saying is a mystery. Blobs of color and darkness is all you can see, but you know you aren't dreaming. An unknown amount of time passes and you begin to awaken. Something isn't right, you are laying on dirt on top of a hill. Where are you? You start to regain your senses and realize what is happening. The hill is overlooking a ditch not to far, this is familiar. You look more closely into the ditch and see a group of figures sprawled across it, they are humans! You focus more on the one closest to you, it's bloody and the face on it brings you horror. Your eyes widen and you yell a blood curdling scream. "MOOOOM!!!!" Your eyes readjust to reveal that you are back on your couch in Fluttershy's cottage. Everyone is looking at you, Fluttershy, The doctor and his nurses, and Rainbow Dash. Tears run down your eyes and you are hyperventilating. Did they hear you? Clearly, they are all far from you. "What happened?" you ask. "We were finishing fixing you up and were about to release the spell to wake you up. Then you yelled for your mother and awoke to what you see now." said the doctor, he seemed very concerned and scared. You know you yelled at the top of your lungs but didn't realized it was that loud. "I'm sorry. It was just a bad dream, nothing else." "Seemed like a really scary one at that," said Rainbow Dash. "Well we are done with fixing all your wounds," said one of the nurses "you should be good to walk in five days time." "Was it bad?" you saw wiping away your tears. "No, just a couple of fractured bones, far from what we expected from a fall like this." "Well that's good. Will I be able to go see Twilight soon?" "I recommend you rest for about a day before attempting anything." "Alright, how about this bathing issue?" You actually haven't taken a bath for about half a year. The soak you had when coming here really took away any smells you had but you still need a proper shower. "Bathing is fine but just don't stand on your hind legs." "Oh! These things at the end of my legs are called feet. And these," you say holding up your hand " are hands." "That's good to know." She quickly pulls out a notepad and pencil and quickly jots down a few things and puts it back into the saddle bag she pulled it out from. "Well we are done for today, we can't give you any medicine for the pain for now as we don't know the effects it will have on your body. We are sorry but we are sure Fluttershy here can do her best to comfort you as best she can. We would like for you to come by to the hospital in two weeks for a check-up and to get more data." "Sure! But what do you mean about data?" "Well seeing as you are a new species to appear in Equestria, we would like data about your species physiology for historical records." "Seems reasonable, will do." All the hospital staff say their goodbyes and are out the door. You don't care what they did to you in your sleep, you feel way better now. They actually healed some injuries from Earth! They really are good! Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash both turn to you looking like they have some questions to ask. "Umm.. Anon?" Fluttershy starts, "What.." "What the HAY was that 'MOOOOM!' thing about anyways" Rainbow Dash asks, interrupting Fluttershy. "I mean that really scared all the other ponies, except me. Nothing ever scares me." "I already told you it was just a bad dream. Lets not talk about it now, alright?" "Fine," Rainbow dash said with an annoyed tone. She motions to Fluttershy to follow her, they move outside. Despite moving outside you can still clearly hear them. They are talking about you. "See!" Rainbow dash starts "I told you! He is hiding something, and I think we should find a way to get rid of..." "Dashie! How could you say that! He said it was just a dream! And even if it wasn't a dream, it shows he isn't out to hurt anypony. Somepony who wants to hurt things usually isn't worried about their mother. He probably misses her, all alone and hurt in some strange place. That shows that we need to help him even more as he is probably really scared right now." "Uhhhggg, fine I'll play nice for now. But if he does anything suspicious, I'm planting my hoof straight into his face." They walk back inside, they both walk past you, both nervously smiling. Little to their knowledge, you heard everything thanks to your good hearing. You know why she is so concerned, an alien arriving to her town. She fears for all he friends, you know the feeling all too well. You have to confront her to remove the tension sooner or later. Maybe later when she feels more comfortable with you, better give her some space for now. All of this is too much for you, you need a good sleep with no nightmares preferably. Maybe Luna could help you with that. Wait? Did Luna see the dream you had last night? Well if she did, there is nothing that can be done now. You are tired so you don't care right now. Your eyes become more heavy and the familiar calmness takes you. The dreams you have are of happy memories, ones of your mother hugging you, taking you to the park, and the time spent just sitting and talking with her. Overall a good night with plenty of sleep.
