I looked down at the pony with a confused look. "Uh, excuse me?" I say and the pony starts to sweat nervously.

"I-I-I'm Lyra." She says shivering. "This is m-m-my friend BonBon."

"You don't have to be so nervous." I say with a reassuring look.

"O-ok." Says Lyra looking at her friend as if asking her to speak for her.

"Me and my friend were looking around Ponyville for a new area to put our candy shop." Said BonBon in a more calm voice. She sounded like a nice pony and I decided to treat her as such.

"You two run a candy store?" Both nod. "Well, I guess ponies don't only eat vegetables here." I say with a sigh.

BonBon looks at me with a questioned look and asked shyly. "Than... what do you eat?"

"I eat mostly meat, why?" I saw their faces flush and I understood why. Ponies here are vegetarians and I choose to except it. "I haven't eaten meat since I arrived in this world, so don't worry." They were still scared, but I saw the color return to their faces. I watched as Lyra's gaze turned to my hands and I started to get more uncomfortable.

"I'm on my way to Fluttershy's house, so if you would please-."

"Oh my Celestia, he has hands too?! He is a human!" I swear I saw a faint sign of her passing out, but BonBon helped her regain. They looked at me and in unison, they said "See you later, alligator!" Then they hopped off laughing.

Alright, more crazy ponies, but also new friends. I continued my walk to a cottage at the edge of Everfree Forest. I knocked on the door and it slightly opened. "H-hello?" Said a shy voice from inside.

I replied in the nicest voice I could manage. "Hi, you must be Fluttershy. We met when Princess Cadence picked me up did we not?" She nodded shyly and opened the door and let me in. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was not only the mane five, but about a hundred animals. -How does she put up with having so many animals, is that a bear?!- I thought looking at a bear in the corner of the room and gulped.

"Hey, about time you showed up. Where have you been?" Asked an annoyed Rainbow Dash.

"Talking to two ponies who claimed they own a candy shop, but that doesn't matter. You all ready to go?" I asked and everyone nodded. "Alright, let's go fight the-."

"WAIT!!!" I heard someone behind me yell, well more like more than one someone. I turned around to find the CMC standing out the door. "We wanna help!" Said Scootaloo.

"Oh no you don't, we can't possibly have you three get hurt." Said Rarity.

"But, we could get our cutie marks!" Squealed Sweetie Belle.

"The only thing you will be getting on your flank will be a cut from a blade, it's too dangerous." I told them. I noticed Scootaloo whispering something to Apple Bloom that I couldn't hear, she smirked and looked at me. She trotted up to me and hugged my leg while looking at me with those puppy dog eyes, those eyes, gah I can't take it! "Fine! You can go, but only if you stay by me!" They all cheered and gave Apple Bloom a high five, high hoof? "I can't believe I fell for that." I said and I heard Twilight chuckle.

"Who wouldn't fall for it?" She asked me and she walked out the door with Pinkie Pie hopping behind her. The pony that was psychopathic and once tried to kill you, is all bright and sunny now. I didn't get her, maybe there was another side of her that made her crazy, I don't know.

I followed them and we walked into Everfree. We kept our heads low with warnings from Fluttershy and proceeded. I looked behind me to see if the crusaders were there, and sure enough they were, but looked very scared. We looked high and low and couldn't find any trace once we met up Twilight mentioned a plan.

"We should split up into three groups, one with a walkie talkie." She said handing herself, Rainbow, and me walkie talkies. "Jake, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo will search east. Pinkie and I will go west. Rainbow, Fluttershy, and Rarity will go north." She used her horn to get a big branch out of a tree and stuck it in the middle of them to mark their starting point.

With that, we split up.

//Twilight\

We split off to the west and Pinkie, for once, behaved. I guess even the always smiling, party pony was scared. I wouldn't blame her, I was scared as well. We were hunting something that couldn't possibly be hunted. I froze at the sound of a bush crackling and looked behind me to find something jumping through the trees.

//Jake\

I kept low as I made my way through the forest. I decided to take a break when we found nothing. I looked over at the three, all shivering, and I decided to comfort them. I picked all three up, one by one, and put them on my lap. I chuckled as the three immediately embraced me and I pet their heads, which made them calm a little.

It was getting late as I got a radio report from Twilight. "Jake, I just saw something heading in your direction. Give us the instruction to head your way." Now this reminded me of a mission I had that I was in a situation like this. We were on a mission to find and secure our overlord. I smiled and loaded up my shotgun.

Alright predator, bring it on.
